What is [disheartening] about this tool or blog engine is that even a lay person can easily master its use and get his or her blog up and running in no time.
It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of TJ Hooker to this issue. Close analysis will reveal that most of American cultural export is the functional equivalent of pornography: intended neither to advance an idea nor stimulate an affect, but to satisfy an appetite.
Sane valuation would reveal that after Gordon Lightfoot, Canada banked a net surplus with America which would stand it in good stead for years to come.
Capitalism posits one form of value: perceived value.
Marxism posits two forms of value: exchange value and use value.
The human organism exists in a matrix of overlapping values that, by the tacit statement of their poets, cannot be reduced to a unary or binary formalism.
The headline is a statement of fact. Unless one regards rhetoric as inherently perjorative ( a pernicious contemporary usage, mind) to say that the USTR report on IP is language intended to pursuade is hardly slant or editorializing. The Bush political appointee is merely doing his job.
I think we must work hard to roll back this term "IP". ..
But we won't. We each want a chance to cash in before the tragedy. Particularly if it is down to geeks to intervene in the use of these terms, we will resist. Every programmer has a *big idea* and the desire to capitalize is not regarded as crass or dishonest, but a civic duty. If ideas aren't property, how can knowledge be valuable?
Seductive, easy and wrong answers to that question abound.
[W]hy don't the PEOPLE see anything wrong with it when the administration(s) (both past and present) think they have the right to meddle in the affairs of other countries?
Um. The very idea of *other countries* finds itself through the work of socio-political discourse. If there were not other countries, our actions would not be meddling but interaction. The power grants your borders in order to arrogate the right to broach them.
But the question is moot. Lenin's anticipated withering of the state has already begun, but without the crypto-Marxist coloring. It is not recognized yet for what it is. We see the technology enabling the same but moreso, but the comms has already unleashed the forces that lie in wait for the nation state, the multinational corporation and the global hegemony of American bad taste.
If one regards the word in its general sense, without connotative value, cultural is just what is required here. In particular, US cultural production is rarely entertaining, but the Knight Rider is a *cultural* product. If it were identified as such more often, the market for it might shrink a bit. Certainly, fewer people would be inclined to allow their professional association with it. As it is, the work is written off as product analogous to the way current political discourse is written off as spin.
I'll ignore the debunked *XML is S-expressions* bait for the chance to second your critique of JavaScript and the inherent problems with the AJ part of AJAX.
rewind battle space observations in TiVo-like fashion
Language like this reveals the outrageous presumptions that motivate this exercise. There is no specific threat or condition which entails these musings. Substitute *everyday* for *battle space*.
Nor when you vote are you a mere constituent, resident of some gerrimandered abstraction, but an active participant in the political nation: a citizen.
millions of readers from embedding a misperception
It is an interesting image and an interesting testament to how far an auditor will allow for the absence of concrete value, but it would represent a misconception.
Thank god for the baby boom- at least it blew things loose for a little while but now I fear the aging baby boom is going to get really repressive.
No, don't thank those narcissistic prigs. They are the ones who felt this lack of a *good war* for their generation and got us into the current situation: a war that makes Vietnam look like patticakes.
The boomers are the least generation. The most empowered and enfranchised in history and look what they have bequeathed us. It was Roethke said: I was never too liberal in my youth for fear of becoming too conservative in my old age. That fits the boomers to a *T*. They've been elitist prigs right down the line and the death of progressive politics.
I'm down with Valerie but I lump the granola girls in with the high-heeled boys.
Notice how even in the darkest days of the [United States] the average person didn't think things were that bad, asserting even that people who saw problems were subversives or nutjobs, and today many people look back on such times fondly.
If your having a hard time parsing this, consider that M$ finds itself in the awkward position of having to sell the global consumer on the following two propositions:
a hunnert bucks is cheaper than free;
cubefarm druggery is sexy.
Their flagship product is named *office*, FFS. For the Beast of Redmond, every marketing program is covert ops.
"What sort of grandstanding can I do to get my name in today's local/state media cycle? Let's see, my likely opponent has introduced a bill in the statehouse mandating that sex offenders register their online accounts. . . . Hrm, what trumps pedophiles? Sure, Terror, domestic Terror! that's the ticket!"
Actually, that is the politician's Chief of Staff thinking; the politician is thinking:
"Does this tie make me look soft on crime? If that minxy little intern thinks she's going to get that last donut, she's got another thing coming. Hrm, I wonder who's scheduled to buy me lunch today. It better not be seafood, them shellfish gives me the burpies."
At any ate[sic], the point of this study is that some people do not emotionally differentiate between virtual actions and real actions.
Thus an experimental basis for the assertion that games can create the mental conditions necessary for a criminal act. Also:
Even though the subjects knew they were only 'shocking' a computer program, their bodies reacted with increased stress responses.
Which kind of belies the casual cant around these parts that games are benign entertainments. Is this a basis for banning violent video games? No. Does this suggest that some content is indeed inappropriate for minors, whose moral and emotional character are not yet fully formed or resilient to externalities? Probably.
Already, some (like William Dutton of the Oxford Internet Institute) are asking whether even this sanitized experiment is ethical.
No doubt for the same reason the original experiments were deemed unethical: their impact upon the well-being of the test subjects, not the subject of the *imaginary* torture. Yet such a refined ethics seems so much noise in the face of the conventional barbarities we daily endure or inflict.
Indeed, from Milgrom's paper:
Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process.
The two assumptions are identified with classical economic theory and systematic attempts at reducing them have only begun with the last generation of scholars.
Beyond that, if you start adding too many choices, users start trying to use simple elimination heuristics that might not lead to the best choice.
Just so, I think, and concomitantly increasing cost of choice. Comparable impediments are insufficiently clear boundaries between scope of terms or unlikely groups of terms within the projected/intentional order given by the application's representation of the domain.

. . . knowledge is often more valuable the more it is shared . .
If it's not monetized, its not value; not in the liberal capitalist democracies. They'll be crying all the way to the bank.
Values (as opposed to value) are the prerogative of those who can afford to exercise them.
. . . but conspiracies of interest.
And it's *possessive*.

I can't wait to hook one of these up to my nanoBattery charger.
But the cherry on all this is that I can still rely on familiar user experience metaphors within the nanoUI.

Web services, patterns, Web 2.0, and business-driven development. . . .
a potent combo for the present that Microsoft has resisted tooth and nail.
Which social and political issues should be on the list?
Perhaps the issues your foundation is ostensibly targeting? There might be some in-house expertise on those problems.
Thanks, Red.

Which sounds a lot like my day job.
So, more is more, given two things that practically never happen?
