Android does that already, essentially. This particular malware exploited OS bugs that have been known about forever, bypassing the security system. They are already fixed in the latest version of Android. The problem is that Motorola, HTC, Samsung, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc aren't letting you have the latest version of Android, because up until now they have had no incentive to push out new versions to handsets. If it were Microsoft leaving known vulnerabilities unpatched, they would rightly be raked over the coals, and these companies should be too!
If you have money to invest, you are going to be looking for the best return on your capital, modulo the risk of the investment. This applies whether you are Joe Venture Capitalist, or Teachers Retirement Fund, or College Endowment, or Greedy Billionaire. How do you think it should work?
That's the way it reads to me too, but that's not the way the courts have read it for longer than you and I have been alive. I don't see how they can strike down the health care bill without also striking down Social Security and Medicare and most of the rest of what the Federal government does, and that ain't gonna happen.
You realize that he can only publish stuff that other people give him, right? So you think he is sitting on a huge stash of secret Russian documents that he is afraid to publish?
But don't worry. The anti-government wave of the 2010 midterms woke some people up. The GOP finally adopted a secular, economy-focused message and was very successful with it, and if that means this country shifts back toward libertarianism (you know, how it originally started), that's fine with me.
I half think you are joking, because if you actually believe this, they have suckered you in yet again.
Democrats kept spending and spending in the time of a recession--what did they expect would happen? Most people, in tough times, tighten their belts and save their money. They saw that their government wasn't doing that and felt that their leaders weren't listening to them.
But this is what all of their economists are telling them they are supposed to do to help the economy recover. And of course, were the republicans in power, they would be doing the same thing.
I think they are probably making a rational decision about how to spend their limited time. I could spend hundreds of hours researching and then campaigning for some politician, or I could spend those hundreds of hours doing something more likely to increase my wellbeing. Making a different choice from yours does not mean that someone is "too lazy to make a difference in the world".
Nothing wrong with it? That is the nutritional equivalent of two tablespoons of sugar, with a tiny bit of incomplete protein mixed in. How is that in any way healthy?
Then comes the question: which candidates do you fund? Only the two major parties? Anybody who steps forward? Do you set up some thresh-hold of support? Public funding pretty much guarantees that the 2 major parties will be in power forever.
Your numbers are bogus. It appears that you only are counting cases of self-defense where somebody died. Actual self-defense numbers appear to be at least 100 times your number. See for example: http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcdguse.html
If I read you right, you seem to be saying that the goal of the US military should be to take down tyrants all over the world, and stop them from tyrannizing their innocent subjects? This is an interesting opinion, but you are probably going to have a hard time selling it to the people whose sons and daughters are going to have to sacrifice their lives for this noble plan.

I know! Why would they release it on corduroy day?

Didn't work, did it? The panics of 1930-1933 were the worst yet.
Could also be that GP has better things to do with his time than beating his head against a wall. It might be that lazy has nothing to do with it.
Isn't WebM BSD licensed, with an irrevocable patent grant? How can they limit how their competitors use it?
To be more accurate, you both *remember* seeing the same thing at the same time.
If you have money to invest, you are going to be looking for the best return on your capital, modulo the risk of the investment. This applies whether you are Joe Venture Capitalist, or Teachers Retirement Fund, or College Endowment, or Greedy Billionaire. How do you think it should work?
It HAS been tried before, just not in the US.
That's the way it reads to me too, but that's not the way the courts have read it for longer than you and I have been alive.

War is hell.
Check the wayback machine, they have released lots of other documents. It's just that their latest big cache was US related.
Clearly? You sent him something that he hasn't published yet?
You realize that he can only publish stuff that other people give him, right? So you think he is sitting on a huge stash of secret Russian documents that he is afraid to publish?
After inflation, he'll be able to take his whole family to dinner!

They play music on MTV? When did this start?
Since about 10% of the people who have ever lived are still alive, I'd say the rate is currently 90%.

There were network TV news shows that called for the assassination of Bush? I missed that.
I'm confused. By "there", are you talking about the US?
