Fear and Economic Punishment? They require your consent to get away with that. Don't give it to them. They feed on your guilt dictated by a 'morality' that you don't believe in.
I don't get why every one is saying it's not for desktop. It runs great on my T60. Everything works fine: sleep, mouse, red nub, wireless, sound, screen brightness, Blue-tooth. I guess I have never used the media buttons...
I don't know... I work at a big company that manufactures in the US and they have had a pretty good run since 2000...
And no it has nothing to do with defense contracts.
How about the teachers call all the parents during parent teacher conferences and they actually all decide what the teacher should teach? They are the ones paying for the teacher anyhow. Shouldn't a teacher be beholden to their employer? Isn't that how it works?
Don't you think maybe IBM is trolling the US Patent Office? I think they get a kick out of it. If I was Big Blue and knew no one could safely challenge me, yea I'd force some really stupid stuff through just to prove a point about the current state of patent laws.
It's ok when they get a fisa warrant, and not ok wehen they decide they don't need one.
Somebody should troll a terrorist attack, get caught, and then expose the whole mess of no fisa warrant.
The problem with the government vs. free market issue is that even if the free market can do it better government will never step aside once it has a Department.
Ronald Regan once said that a Government Department is the closest thing to immortal life on this earth.
Seems to me #4 would just cause more off-shoring of manufacturing jobs? I like Free Market. It forces the US citizens to stand up and recognize their own problems instead of sticking their head in the ground and hoping some one else will save them, which goes for corporations too.
Even if it might take more time, the states can get what they want instead of being told what they get. I'd rather have the power closer to home. And besides that local legislature is still around to make local laws regardless of national legislature, so why not do it? I grew up in Montana, we despised the amount of things states like New York and California got to push though congress. If you want to make a state law, fine go ahead. But there are just too many federal mandates telling the states what to do.
I work on this product line.
So if I don't make safe, reliable, and most of all easy to maintain code, Tractors drive through houses and you don't get your high-fructose-corn-syrup-filled beverages. So yes, I would say I earn the title of engineer as much as any ME or EE even though I graduated a CS. That's not to say it isn't fun.
Come now... Ron Paul puts Hillary (and all of congress for that matter) to shame when it comes to being a conservative. I mean how can you claim Hillary is conservative at all it she wants to institute universal health care? It's just a pity that Ron Paul probably won't win the nomination in my opinion (most people think I'm crazy of course...), but at least he's going to be the one to yell out that the emperor has no clothes.
Republicans and Independents rally around conservative candidates in a time of war.
It's odd that you say that. Both Eisenhower and Nixon were elected to end wars, not continue them. And if Bush had followed his election winning platform of 2000 I don't think we would be in the war right now. Figuratively, he should have stuck to his guns. Meaning he should have found Bin Laden but stayed the fuck out of the other countries business.
What really makes me wonder is that the politicians who normally get us into wars (the Democrats) are the ones who are most likely going to get us out. And they might just fix our spending problem. What the fuck happen to the Republican Party and being conservative? What a Bass Ackwards platform reversal this turned out to be.
His hope springs from the fact that there are others in this world who are aware that the only way to keep tyranny at bay is to be prepared to fight it. "Si vis Pacem? Parabellum!".
Your Orwellian rant is the speech of a man who expects always to be in the majority, and expects others to protect him if he's not. While your attitude may serve you in a pluralist democracy, it hinges on the existence of the men whom you despise - men who understand that vigilance is not just a necessary evil, but a way of life.
Vigilance and self defence do not mean having a private arsenal in a concrete bunker, and being paranoid of anyone who comes near you. They DO mean keeping informed of the world around you, being ready to defend yourself and others, and seeking to cultivate similar attitudes in those around you. It can be as simple as starting a neighbourhood watch, or as complex as organizing an armed neighbourhood militia to defend your streets, as some of your fellow citizens had to do recently in Louisiana. Ask yourself, how well could you provide for your family tomorrow if a New Orleans scale disaster hit your city? Only fools and sheep depend on others for their defence. It's YOUR life! Protect it!
I cannot attest to his socio-political beliefs but I can tell you that I don't endorse anything you put into your straw man argument. I don't think the US should be in Iraq, or Afghanistan (find Bin Laden, yes, occupy, fuck no) and I think we should leave Iran the fuck alone. I don't think the US should have troops in Saudi Arabia, Germany, or South Korea, But since the Japanese want us there in Okinawa, and for the most part pay us to be there that's ok.
I spent a year in Japan, and made many friends from all nationalities, Mostly Japanese(that's a duh), South Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Moroccan. Some of my coworkers are from Iran and Malaysia. Sure I may be from Montana and be a Republican and agree with small government (not the neo-con government), but that doesn't mean I'm a White Supremacist or Christianist Surpemacist.

Panasonic has some pretty small tough-book types.
I prefer just regular old thinkpads myself.

In Synaptic Package Manager there is a 'Search' Option.
It doesn't get much easier than that, unless you want the computer to read your mind.

So that must mean All Americans suck because they want to put food on the table through hard work instead of have a utopian society.

You should have just stuck with nanny state culture. Asshole.
'bout time I had a new sig as well. Thanks for the Idea.
I assume you might be talking about Atlas Shrugged?
Don't ruin it for me, I just got done with Francisco's Money Speech
I know there is a lot of evidence to the contrary, but what scientific law or theory says human intelligence can't advance at the same or better rate?
I think he should be celebrated because he is a model of rugged individualism.
There aren't many people like him left. One less now that he's gone.
