Thanks for plugging mindless conformity! I was starting to think for myself, but you got me right back on track. Now, at least I'm right back to thinking like EVERYONE else!
I think it would be like telling all your friends to deliver unsolicited messages to my house. There's no intent to deliver any message, there's only the intent to "paper" my yard.
"Identity Theft?" HAH! That's not what it is. It's the lender's failure to provide a secure credit. transaction. And they offload the risk and expense onto the consumer. Enough of this bullshit fucking doublespeak!
Don't let the PR spin blind you. Push for consumer-oriented credit reform!
I don't think that questioning the necessity of the A-bombings is useful. What is useful to question is the decision to drop the bomb in the context of what Truman knew at the time.
The USSR was poised to grab territory, the Japanese were promising fanatic resistance, and the US wanted to minimize its casualties. The Bomb was a reasonable choice--given the knowledge available then.
Present day solicitude for civilian casualties is misplaced. The Pacific War was no quarter. The Japanese Gov't wanted it that way. They waged a brutal, uncompromising war--against everybody, not just the US. They got brutal and uncompromising back at them--and they still continued to fight, even when the outcome was obvious.
This is just lobbying for a powerful special interest group that wants lots of tax money.
The US is deployed in two nations at extreme cost. People ignore the brutal financial hit these military interventions are making. We're acting like an enraged bull. Our enemies win when they make us exhaust ourself. The military industrial complex is blind to this issue. They are a hammer that sees problems as nails--and they are self interested. The contractors are in it for the money. The military is focused on "defense." There is nothing wrong with either position--but we must DIRECT them--not let them direct us.
You go too far when you claim that schools are for producing "dumbed down automatons." Nowhere is that a consensus.
There is a tension. The establishment recognizes that we need brilliant thinkers or our country will be outmatched by others. On the other hand, it wants docile creatures.
The real problem is that most teachers are useless--in the extreme.
Who knows what kind of mutations would best preserve human life here on Earth . . . or in Space . . . or on another planet? We're infants playing with power tools!
They screwed me with the nvlddmkm driver. I won't patronize them. The open source community should do the same. They will only change their f***** behavior when it hurts ecnomically.
I strongly agree with you to the extent that we should stay out of Venezuela's business. When he attacks his neighbors, then there will be plenty of license to invade and destroy him.
I hope you are right about the "cooperative society." I suspect that Chavez is just another dictator, though.
Talking smack about the USA is only going to get him so far as the standard of living declines. Then he's got to attack his neighbors (even more). That's if he lives . . .

A program is one big damn algorithm.
An algorithm is a mathematical/logical THOUGHT set to words.
You can't patent thought.
Aaaaaaaaargh!

Thanks, man!
Nah! Our future is to spread the human virus out into space, or die trying.

I read an addict describing fighting an addiction craving as something akin to resisting diarhhea. That scares me.
Always carried a book in my pants' cargo pocket whenever hurry up and wait was on the horizon. Gosh. That was a long time ago!
Thanks. That was informative.
He not only committed burglary. He not only possessed child porn. The stupid knave DISTRIBUTED child porn--in addition to perverting justice.
Hope he gets a few years to think about it!
If you get rid of the compression effect, you will more than likely get a much uglier compression at the top end.
A lot of times, compression is used to make headroom.

Should have rtfa. Mr. Escalante was of Bolivian heritage.
Suspending democracy means killing or imprisoning dissidents.
Such hypocrisy! You like reading this stuff, yet you bitch about reporters writing about it?
Reporters are whores. As a group, they'll do anything--noble or disgusting--to sell a story that people will read.
Don't ask them to censor themselves. Nothing good comes of that.
Yeah, they gave up. They caved in to your telephone assault!
I hope we read about you like we read about Jammie Thomas and Joel Tennenbaum!
Good luck with your "fuck them" legal theory, EINSTEIN.
This time, TFA really, really, is a good read!!!
Civil procedure only matters in judicial proceedings. When the government acts extrajudicially, civil procedure has no scope.

You've just broken my brain. I can barely handle umlauts.
I was negatively affected by the pedantic affect of your post. Your attempt at effecting grammatical conformity creates an unpleasant effect.
