The irony is that the communist government likely in many instances uses the same reasoning to explain to the people their reasons for doing what they do. (Papers please!) When you flip a coin over, it may have a different picture to appease you into thinking it is something different, but in reality it is only the other side of the same thing.
It could be a golden age -- or a Darwinian nightmare -- it all depends on how we deal with this as a society. I fear that the Wealthiest, are too busy trying to create a police state and already look upon the teaming masses as useless eaters.
I picture China and other communist countries having less issues than us adjusting. It is probably right that they are one of the first countries to really employ robots. Though, It will be unfortunate if Foxconn forces the robots to suicide, too.
Netflix shows proof of another concept that people like to gloss over: sometimes when you buy a movie all you want to pay for is the movie. The extras do not come free and add no real value in most cases. Downloaded movies (legal or not) is the only place you can get the movie in great quality with no excess crap. It does not cost $10 extra dollars a movie to encode it at a higher bitrate with a higher resolution.
The fact that the US Government doesn't trust American citizens to do the right thing in a plane hostage situation is a telling. After 9/11, does anybody think US citizens on a plane will just be sheep in a hostage situation? That is the one and only reason there hasn't been any hijackings at all after 9/11. Once you're in the air, the TSA means crap.
I sold something for about $1000 on Paypal a few months ago. I kept the money in paypal in case I had to do a return thinking it was the honest thing to do. Ended up doing a return later, and the return took the money from my bank account instead of paypal. The timing was so that I had no money for anything for 4 days because they emptied out my bank account. I also happened to have no gas or food in the fridge. The paypal fuckers can die in hell. Do not touch paypal people. Ebay is just about as bad.
This is the symptom of ignorant shoppers wanting black-and-white answers- even if they are wrong because they have someone they can blame things on. I was in a radio shack back when DVD-R was a new thing and asked if DVD-R+ would work in a DVD-R- burner. The person at the counter said it would. That is not something I should have heard on a non-returnable item.
That the person is 90, a woman, or a breast cancer survivor shouldn't matter. Perhaps the "book" should be rewritten so that a 20-year-old bra-wearing drag queen otherwise in the same situation shouldn't have to remove his bra, just like the old woman shouldn't have to. Randomly deciding some people aren't dangerous is dangerous.
May your wife have breast cancer and she be groped every time she goes through the airport and force you to listen to her bitching about it for the next few days after. That is the real boat that people are in right now, but because it is happening to other people and not yourself you can shrug it off. You would be amazed how much your wife will effect your opinion over time.
Passengers at airports get the shit end of the stick right now. You don't deal with this kind of crap on any other form of mass transportation. This disparity is a magnitudes larger issue than the "randomly deciding that certain people aren't dangerous" problem and serves to further highlight that something is very very wrong.
Approving men raping other men in prisons is wrong DaveV1.0. It's not even appropriate as a joke. The act likely screws people up so bad that they have problems returning to society which is not what prisons is for. Especially if going to prisons starts meaning you get aids.
News for ya: if bacteria survives as implied by the article, Mars was likely contaminated long ago even before humans started space explorations. Most likely by a comet bashing into things.
as free health insurance, I can't get a doctor so he can write a note that I had my leg amputated. It's the kind of thing needed for getting a prosthetic leg and the leg is needed for work. Something that takes 5 minutes to write. Fuck you world. I can't even get an handicapped sticker because of the nimrods who run into the hospital when they have a slight cough.
Gnome 3 was developed for good keyboard shortcuts so you don't have to mouse everything. Tapping the window key is a lot easier than dragging your mouse to the corner. You also now have alt-tab and alt-~ to play with. But you have to get over your fear of the keyboard.
The odd thing that I have noticed is that the people who complain the most about clicks seem to have the greatest fear of the keyboard.:-/
I think a lot of people fail to see the larger picture. We aren't all from Texas and the US isn't the wild west anymore. We are dealing with large groups of people and not a one-on-one gunfight.
Longer term, jailing Osama and putting him on world trial, a terrorist who would only be proud dying for his cause, would have been the largest blow to the terrorist psyche. He would be paraded around as an example. Shooting him would have just created another martyr, incentivizing more people to hate the evil US of A.
Longer term, shooting Osama would lead to more US deaths not less just to satisfy some sense of payback a lot of Americans want to satisfy but can't come to terms with.
You would think they would be able to do better than 90%. With that accuracy you would fall down the stairs at least 1 out of every 10 times you go down them.
I recently dumped the C-Leg for a general mechanical leg because it drove me nuts how I had no say how the C-Leg tried to guess what I was doing... and if it didn't know, it would go into geriactric safety mode. I don't plan on using another knee that I have to recharge until this kind of tech actually comes to fruitation. I have a feeling it will be another 5 to 10 years.
Serously. Look at how similar the guis are. The dev tools haven't even been modified at all, icons and all. I suppose the sincerest form of flattery in imitation or something.
Not much else is new. It's happened before the advent of 3D screens. More interesting is the eyestrain issue. It seems less severe when the 3DS is used in the dark, but I wonder if people will adjust to it eventually? Much like how someone has to adjust to their first pair of glasses? I haven't used a 3DS personally yet, but it sounds like a similar sensation people are experiencing..

and it doesn't reflect well on the party. I worked for his company where he didn't pay us for 2 months constantly saying 'next week' without giving any substantial reason for why next week would be different. He would complain about taxes and government regulation of business.
When the company finally got finanial backing, he joked about how he pulled in that sucker. We got paychecks for a while, but he kept no records about where what was going. I believe he moved to Texas from New York to escape a hostile environment for himself.
From what I have seen of Tea Party, it is pulling in scumbags who favor lawlessness. Not people who favor small government and less regulation. Yes, I am sour.
I personally liked Ron Paul. He probably doesn't fall far outside of the Tea Party ideology. But at least he seems to have some values.
Honestly, they probably should have used computer generated graphics to photoshop out the two towers in the film. It would have made the movie much less hateful.
There are a number of slashdotters commenting about how stupid the layout of PC keyboards are. I have tended to find the reverse true of PC keyboards. Particularly ones with media keys.
You like what you are used to.
I find Mac stuff tends to hide complexity and unneeded features, but doesn't treat you like an idiot. The features are usually there and easily discoverable, but you have to want to learn. In particular the command and option keys bring power that Linux/Windows users wouldn't even think of existing. But you have to be smart enough to notice it is there and not only look skin deep.
You would also be switching to the OS that traded the zoom to fit button for maximize, added a minimize button on version 10, put back icons on the desktop after users revolted, and now just like MS Windows you can resize the windows from any side of the border.
It might not be a bad change for most people.
The only thing that scares me is the drag to top to maximize. I flick my windows around my desktop, so having them do that when I brink them to the top on a small screen drives me nuts.
The US is pointing out countries that are most likely consume English content and don't 100% accept US international copyright laws. Mind how I prefixed international copyright laws with US because they are US laws forced on other countries.
It's okay. He is Japanese and in many ways the Japanese don't have swear words...at least not in the same way as English has them. Of course, I am making comments about another person who I do not know so take this with a grain of salt;-p
If you want to simplify your life, walk. Turn off the internet, and stop using modern conveniences.
Yes, so he can have all the people shout out of their cars, "Go get a job!" On top of that, if a person sees someone biking from a car, their first thought is that the biker lost their license. Or maybe that they are incapable of driving. This is the American thought process. Americans have no idea how to cut back any more than they know how to not eat at McDonalds, and they impress their ideals on everyone else by using hyperbole. I am not impressed.

Thank you git for giving me reasons to use such an awesome word. In normal conversation.
