"umm California and Connecticut are very demoratic" —Then why it that California's governor managed to be a republican?
Good grief. If you're American and of voting age, and you see things in such terms as to imagine this to be a question worth asking, please do your part to heal American democracy and just fucking kill yourself.
Yes, Ron Paul is the kind of "libertarian" who has no problems funding programs he likes, such as those that aim to barricade America against immigration. He's the sort of "libertarian" who hates free trade and who would restrict a woman's right to choose. The sort of "libertarian" who voted to ban gay adoptions in DC.
Honestly, do you Ron Paul me-tooers bother reading up on anyone you support before jumping on the bandwagon?
Does anyone really enjoy driving to and from work every day? I mean, sure, it's great to rent a car to take a road trip cross country, provided you're willing to bear the full costs of so doing. But being trapped behind the wheel of a car every day would drive me fucking crazy. Give me a real city, one where I'm free to travel without lugging along two tons of steel.
If you license is too open, like a BSD license, everyone may use your stuff, but you'll never see any of it back and thus it doesn't do you any good in terms of having more contributed.
Ah, but you see, BSD developers aren't such selfish bastards as to demand to "see any of it back," and they're not so limited in thought as to believe society suffers unless it works to further their political ends. BSD developers are happy to share their code for anyone's benefit, not just their own.
And they probably will. Various BSD distros beckon, and because BSD developers are happy to see their code put to good use (rather than wielded as a weapon in someone's religious war), TiVo hither will come.
But believe me, everyone who works in transportation and transportation policy is secretly thinking the same thing. Our dependency on the automobile is insane, and it is destroying us.
Well then, you lose documents. Big deal. Most people, in my experience at least, don't have this strange obsession with permanence that seems to dog computer nerds. That doesn't imply some sort of moral judgment on them; if anything, the judgment's on us geeks for our reflexive fear of the ephemeral, when we might benefit ourselves by learning to embrace that which comes and goes.
As recently as last year, I had to help some of my friends set up their Macs to read WordPerfect files when they began internships at firms here in NYC. This year, as far as I know, everyone's using Word. Maybe it just took longer for the "real world" to adjust.
Of course if those people had any clue, they'd realize that file formats matter in the long run...
If you had any clue, you'd drop the fucking condescension and realize that maybe people are smarter than you want to give them credit for—yes, even people in "soft sciences, like economics or parapsychology" (good grief)—and are willing to risk having to retype their documents, should they need them again, ten years down the road. You are everything that people hate about IT, and your unjustified sense of superiority is fucking intolerable.
Click "parent" on my post and you'll see who I was actually replying to. The fault lies with Slashdot's fucked-up, thoughtless design, which inserts my reply out of context unless you're browsing at -1. But what do you expect from a site designed by Linux geeks?
Members of the administration as of 2003, by and large, and those who supported their efforts contrary to all confidential and publicly-available intelligence. Are you seriously trying to pin the blame for your little Middle East misadventure on those who were trying to restrain you from it?
And for all we know so would have Nader, or Ron Paul for that matter, so it doesn't matter who gets elected? God, what a retarded attempt at an argument.
Denmark, home to the sort of racist right-wing radicalism that makes Tancredo look like Alexander Hamilton? No thanks. For all its flaws, America still does some things better than the Old World, multiculturalism being the prime example.
Hence why there is only one canditate running in BOTH parties that will remove the power from the government and put it back into the hands of the citizens. Ron Paul!
And there was no difference between Bush and Gore either, am I right? Go fuck yourself.
Jeez, relax. "nurb432" is obviously brilliant satire, and the funniest part is that we're actually buying it. And if it isn't, is it really worth your time to reply?
4) Monetary cost: Solar is expensive. No question. But isn't it worth it?
Not necessarily, given that things like switching to fuel-efficient commercial vehicles, replacing inefficient lighting systems, and especially improving insulation, while much more prosaic and less visible than coating the exterior of your domicile in solar panels, would abate more greenhouse gas emissions per dollar spent (indeed, businesses and individuals would save money by doing these three things in particular). If you're working on any kind of budget—and who isn't?—you'd turn to other things to reduce your CO2 emissions before turning to solar.

It's innovative because the Blackberry is a fucking pain to use.
I understand, thanks for explaining your support. Shaking things up in government is something we can probably all agree on.

So how does Google know to tailor its results for C, C++, and C#, which all return results specific to the requested language, but not for C+@?
GPLv4 will address this by forcing Google to reveal the PageRank algorithm. Mark my words.
Parent post is proof positive that intelligence is GPL-incompatible.

When did everyone in law stop using WordPerfect? Or was that only ever the standard outside of academia?
In fact, there was a recent New York Times article regarding the very subject of bird penises.

All A/V content on Wikipedia is in OGG format, by decree of the "cabal." I'm not sure whether that reflects more poorly on Wikipedia or on OGG.
Not to mention, if you don't want to be exposed to anything but common wisdom and orthodoxy, I hear there's an opening at the White House...
