With the support of corporate America, they are set to dominate the world. China owns all our debt now. Their military is catching up and they're putting men in space. Their companies will drive ours into bankruptcy with their cheaper labor, cheaper managers and cheaper CEOs. This has already happened to our automobile industry at the hands of Japan.
So yes, strong-ARM countries do very well now. Because they've learned how to control their populace, and even suck free nations dry.
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. - Pastor Martin Niemöller
The lesson? Speak out NOW, while someone else is being persecuted in violation of your Constitutional liberties. Eventually they always get around to coming after YOU.
In Germany, your neighbor typically turned you in because they didn't like you. Not because you were a Jew, a gay, or a commie.
Right now, today, someone you don't like - perhaps someone you don't even realize - can accuse you of being a terrorist - and at the very least there'll be a file on you. Good luck with flying after that... if you're lucky.
Take the time NOW and convert everything to ANSI compliant SQL and then rely on front ends to do ALL non ANSI stuff.
Do it NOW.
When your employer wakes up and decides not to remain with that closed proprietary bug ridden M$ stuff, they'll thank you profusely. Or they'll fire you and you'll come to my employer for a job and get hired right in.:)
Make that 2 CCRs here. As in, Conservative Christian Republican.
Sadly the GOP has left me far behind in their time warp back to 1939. I feel the same way as you do, my post was a parody of the very people you just disparaged. Trust me, the majority of elected "Republicans" and many of their voters now worship profits over God, and their cruel comments about the jobless, the poor, etc. reflect that.
Now I wouldn't mind outsourced labor to western nations (England, France, etc.) because they abide by similar human rights and labor rights rules. Asia? They're sweatshop hell, and they're helping corporations declare all out war on Western values.
I wish more people like you were out there voting.
Don't you people get it? You looney libbies don't know when to stop biting the hand that feeds you, do you?
The only reason China is able to provide us with cheap goods and cheap labor is because of their ARM policies - analog rights management.
Look at American labor. It has become too expensive for our economy to keep growing. Do you want the Chinese people to have more freedoms and then lose their jobs like you lazy Americans do?
Actually, your point is well said. I'm just making fun of neo clowns and RIAA shills who feel that they need to defend corporate efforts to control what consumers buy and what consumers do.:) My post was making fun of those who think America is a nation of, by and for the corporate elite.
BTW, Lizzy Fair would say that when the market says "I'll make my own", that's PIRACY and patent/copyright infringement. Or, "Every time you copy a DVD you bought to play on another one of your systems, you are importing COMMUNISM-er, Al Qaeda'ism, or something evil."
Open source? It damages corporations' ability to make a profit. All code should be copyrighted DRM'd, patented and assigned a market value. Darned communists bypassing the market, don't they know that the market is God?!
He meant that in this case, DRM has proven itself impractical and in fact harmful to a product, thus undermining its own credibility.
Sony and its massive 30 caliber shoot-itself-in-the-foot cannon is our friend in the war against DRM. They do more damage to DRM than any EFF lawsuit could ever hope to.
Corporations should be the ones who decide media specifications and the role of consumers is to choose which corporate offering is best.
When corporations decide for consumers what to choose, that is capitalism, when consumers force corporations to make what consumers really want, that is called communism and America will not tolerate communism!!!
(Sorry for those who haven't heard of that uber obscure group 'Pitch Shifter'.. it's the lyrics to one of my favorite songs for when I'm playing UT2004...)
Your point wasn't missed. It was made fun of, but it wasn't missed.
Of course, you spent most of your time in school hating men and very little mastering reading comprehension, but now I suppose you're out to make that my problem. Hooboy.
If being chattel is worse than being dead why didn't all women kill themselves as soon as they realized how bad they had it? I'm not saying chattelism is okay, but I am telling you straight up - it's better to be chattel than dead because one of the two is irreversible. Guess which.
Of course, in the Middle East, and not just a few homes in America, chattel often also equals dead. I'll grant you that.
I'm utterly appalled at the way you make fun of America's growing surveillance system. What's wrong with sacrificing privacy for safety? Your opposition to the free market usage of your personal information smacks of Godless communism. What do you have to hide? Aren't you aware that surveillance is needed to defend our constitution from our enemies? And please stop making fun of the good people at the NSA, they only have your best interests at heart.

Where's the tribbles poster??? You can't have Star Trek humor if you don't mention the tribbles!

Not a good analogy in this digital age.
In this digital age you need to forge my ID and pose as me on some Muslim board, and talk about terrorist deeds.
Or, I need to piss off a rich person with Gov't connections. Etc.
In this age, that is how it is done.

All your rights are belong to us.
You have no chance for fair use, make your time.

Maybe they'll run out chasing me down for calling their Blu-Ray systems 'dysfunctional'? :)

Since it describes the state of affairs of Sony's BD drive.
Not that it matters to Sony execs with mod points...

That did happen, IIRC they were spared though.
But you're essentially right; I hereby backpedal... thousands of women were not put to death all at one time for the mistakes of their parents...
The lesson one should learn from the Bible is... have daughters, not sons.
Daughters never paid the price of their parents' misdeeds...
Yes, they'll keep it on file in the name of:
1) the war on terror
2) tracking deadbeat dads
3) think of the childr-er, the insurance companies!

When MicroSoft steals from Apple, it doesn't work as well, and it crashes the system even faster.
