They are also government protected monopolies. People like to think our ISPs run on a free market system but its no better then a country like Brazil. In order to be permitted to sell internet other then dial up the palm greasing you need to do is probably in the order of billions or trillions now.
The biggest irony is people think this is something new. The other sad fact is how many American's don't know, don't care to know. The last sad fact is that some think its right. And are glad to see individuals punished to suit an institutions goals. The philosophical education of American's in general is extremely lacking.
Indeed, thanks for the insight. While I was visiting I could not tell if I saw any descendants or cultural remnants of the indigenous Taino. Perhaps a bit in the art and murals but thats not atypical of Spanish influenced culture.
Your one of the richest people with the best connections on earth Denis.
Do you want to captain your own ship? I sure as hell would.
Your halfway there In 1972, he founded Wilshire Associates, a leading provider of investment management, consulting and technology services in Santa Monica, California. Dennis Tito serves an international clientele representing assets of $12.5 trillion.[2]
Lol nice one, this thing probably just funded itself in the future right there. Talk about buying celebrities.
Fuckin ex-JPL goon in first "civilian" in the employ of top secret god knows what Eisenhower alien fiasco lizard person bullshit.
Just an Illuminati stooge I bet. Sorry big man with the bucks to make a publicity stunt out of human achievement, f your not a goon. I hope you succeed in bringing people to mars.
It's actually a bit more complex then this. Considering the native Hispanic population there enjoys the freedom and lax federal regulation of their "territory".
My theory is that this leads back to the main topic of the article, people are lazy in hot places this includes even governments in hot places.
Their perfectly happy with tourism and minding their own business amongst themselves and do not want the federal government to clean house by earning state hood.
If you want anything done in Puerto Rico give it an extra 30 days, DSL installed, Power line Fixed, cabinets built, increase the time it takes to get anything done by a factor of 30 =)
P.S. Peurto Rico is a beautiful country and if you are a layed back and not uptight about your perfected 1950's Utopian industrial society its great.
As for my authority, I really don't have any. I was a specialist in the signal core and didn't see any action. But I have heard enough stories to know better.
As for the echo chambers of the internet... we sat around and watched to many movies like Flags of Our Father's. The plot is that in order to fund the war, one of the soldiers who was not at the first flag raising had to stand in for a dead soldier who was there.
Anyway, its a story, but its a story not often far from the truth. Shit happens. And bad news makes for bad propaganda. Good men cover fuckups of less then good men trying to do good.
You can't legislate better people. And no one said people had to make money producing art. If you incidentally do, that is a bonus. But capitalism doesn't work that way. Thats why the capitalists had to create the idea of something tangible in intellectual property. This may have had a slight net benefit, until about 1910. Either way it was always unenforceable except in civilized and metropolitan areas.
Oh wait it still is. And the intellectual elite don't have to expend any extra effort to circumvent the system.
Were back to shitting on and brainwashing the morons who buy into it all, on both sides.
There are lots of lets plays but of good PC games and not shitty consoles. This is all nothing new. A lot of people don't have the time or skill or desire to play a game themselves, so they watch a well put together, cut, and edited lets play. Usually those have great commentary. Usually their done by people in the 25+ age range. Usually these people have a really specialized skill set, software, computers, equipment. And they usually put serious effort as in 16-18hr work days into producing as much of a quality show as they can.
This infuriates me that the PS4 folks think they can re-write history around this new trend in content production. I hope they succeed but not by claiming they did it first. So all this marketing hype is bullshit.
To those of you cracking it up in the first few comments here, this program is only designed to convince the lowest classes and educated people of the U.S. that IP law is something criminal and beyond the realm of civil court.
Its subtle psyops being enacted on the next generation of worker bee's of this nation. And when this 70% of the un-educated lazy population just move on with life and acknowledge this as the status quo, the IP companies are hoping to move on to stage 2.
Hehehe (wall of text inc), no he doesn't personally want them in a literal sense. But he serves people that do want you to NOT have them. And very very relevant reasons. Lets put it this way my sister works in big government. She spent all day picketing in cold weather to get her constituents energy bill noticed. Meanwhile Obama wasn't even at the white house, he was in FL golfing with an Exxon executive.
The big government types want our guns because when they do shit like that they can completely disrespect every American that puts their ass on the line to have some say in our government. You may not buy it, but out government is completely bought and paid for and your vote has meant absolutely nothing for the last few cycles.
They legitimately want to avoid chaos and anarchy by doing things like this and creating organizations like the DHS, they don't want our country to look like one of those countries were basically law, rules, regulations, whatever are unenforceable by legitimate means. We've been digging our Nation collectively a grave for the last 50 years by completely snubbing libertarians and increasingly banning everything and becoming more authoritarian, while neglecting to build any new infrastructure, promote good social values and sustainable lifestyles.
So yeah, I know the people in power who artificially inflated our currency year after year want to see us stripped of our guns. I'm not worried about it, I don't own guns. But I kinda chuckle and laugh inside a little every time people think its A.O.K. to disrespect the 2cnd. It really means allot and is worth its meaning alone.
Now its getting to the point were your a considered a child killer or a bad terrorist if you think its legitimate to escalate to violent warfare for your beliefs. I hate to say this but its a fact of life and when people forget that and live in candyland were authority always know better is when bad things (tm) happen.
To many people don't truly understand the kind of bullying and harassment being perpetrated on us. We are being disrespected and treated like infirm and less then human by these organizations and every time some incident happens its being thrown in everyones face. There's a quote rolling around on slashsdot from Janet Reno, and she openly admits thats congresses agenda to disarm us.
As the leader of the American people Obama is duty bound whether voted for or not to up-hold American values. I know after serving in the military what they are. I know that no one represents them anymore. Anyway, I really hope that our new gun free (in random decades) land will be peaceful and people will be able to defend themselves through non-violent means just like they do today. But I have a feeling more "I have all the power and you don't" situations will arise, more and more. From criminals to legitimately elected officials, to people specifically trained and audited to hold such power by our loving and caring overlords (sarcasm).
You saying that defending the 2cnd amendment being an argument for an endless morass of violence. I was pointing out that it is a relevant argument and that the 2cnd amendment does not = lawless anarchy.
The 2cnd one piece of a deterrent, just like cops are a deterrent and not the only solution to crime. Such as better quality jobs and living conditions, happy people, good communities.
Therefore the 2cnd amendment is relevant as one deterrent, but going directly to the 2cnd to deal with 1 asshole is an overreaction. But feeling oppressed because they (DHS moron) have a gun and you do not is not an overreaction. Being sarcastic and ironic about it and pointing it out and making a ruckus for it is normal.
Personally I think 99% of government employees, customs agents, etc could do their job without weapons IMO. Even traffic cops in most area's. But people in this country don't respect each other enough to deal with their problems like gentleman and ladies.
So were (as a Nation) back to wanting guns to be respected and that rolls both ways amongst civilians and not civilians. Lets fix that problem first aye?
Rules of Engagement? They only come into play with internal politics and beuracracy, like when they fuck up and the word gets out. If the reporters and collateral civilian damage is all dead and there's no one to report, or its the right target TM, and the guy is sure pulling the trigger the reports always say "this was a perfect mission, 100% success"... And a medal of honor gets given out.

They are also government protected monopolies. People like to think our ISPs run on a free market system but its no better then a country like Brazil. In order to be permitted to sell internet other then dial up the palm greasing you need to do is probably in the order of billions or trillions now.
You'll lobby the government to update everything to metro and get a big nice juicy contract.
How do you think the Borg Queen keeps her drones in line? )

Yes, and thanks for the correction.
In other words the USPS is not a paramilitary group trying to gain power. They are a business in the service of serving their customers.
The U.S. postal service, while government subsidized is actually still a private subsidy, they are also competing against USPS and Fedex.
There is no competition for DHS, Homeland thugs. They are all dropouts, drugies military, and police rejects.
Rules of Engagement? They only come into play with internal politics and beuracracy, like when they fuck up and the word gets out. If the reporters and collateral civilian damage is all dead and there's no one to report, or its the right target TM, and the guy is sure pulling the trigger the reports always say "this was a perfect mission, 100% success"...

RoE my ass.
