I am not sure the GOP wanted us to default on our debit. What I think they wanted was to force a reduction in spending. They did not get it. What the government has done as a whole. Republicans and Democrats alike is treason. They are knowingly spending the country into a debit it will not be able to repay. The republicans give away cash to big corporations. The democrats give it away to unions. I am neither a union nor am I a big corporation. I am just a lowly tax payer. I do not get back a big check to make up for all I paid in federal income tax every year. I definitely do not get back more than I paid. I am being screwed. I am being stolen from. I help pay the bills. There is no appreciation. Only the demand for more stuff for free. I get tired. Some days I think, "How can I be so stupid? I will just do bad get fired and take a 2 year paid vacation." But I can't. I have values. Those people in the streets holding signs saying "I am the 99%" are bullshit. They are not. I am a single male. I make under $50k a year in So Cal. I am not rich. But I pay. I pay State and Federal income tax. I pay State and Local sales tax. I pay Gas tax, a tax on money I invest, a tax on things that I buy that the government dose not think I should. I pay so some guy who "Won't work a shitty job at McDonalds or Walmart" can get money from me for 99 weeks, so he can get food stamps and buy steak I can not afford. I am tired. I work. Excuse me for saying this but.... When some broke fucker in line in front of me at the supermarket is buying shit with my money that I can not afford for myself, while I bust my ass and he sits at home playing PS3 on his small 42" LED Backlit LCD Flatscreen TV I sometime feel myself getting angry.
What I really want to know is where is the evidence that without government intervention people and corporations do not due lots of successful research? Did the government help invent the wheel? Did they bring about the iron age? Cars? Aircraft? There are things the government is good at. Militarizing existing tech, Creating new Military Tech, Areas of research where there is no private industry working (Space and the Internet in the beginning), Stuff like that. When the government gets involved in handing out cash to companies already working on stuff it is always bad. Bad. Very, very BAD. In other words it is not good. Companies spend way too much hiring lobbyists and going after grants and changing laws. They do this because if they do not they are left behind by those who do. The government can not be in the business of "Picking Winners".
Well. I guess as long as your point is to annoy others more power to you. I wish you well in life. Though you may want to make some changes. Normally those out to injure others do not in the end enjoy happiness.
Personally I have never heard of a Tea Party Member advocate the destruction of Muslims as a whole. Also. It might make you look a little less immature if you did not reflexively call them "Teabaggers". Just because a group of people who value personal freedom over massive government makes you uncomfortable is no reason to resort to petty name calling. You can disagree. Though I doubt that if there is a winning argument, you are in possession of it.
What about them? Can they not slow down and work their way through school? If it is important to them I think that most will. If it is not important to them why use tax money to make it easy? This really is one of those areas where government support is making things worse.
If you had RTFA you would know that your need a dual quad core machine with 16GB of ram to get it done in ~25 min. Sometimes in the real world it just makes sense to throw cheap RAM at a job and make it go much faster. But if you want you can keep arguing about "if you truly need a machine with 16GB of RAM" instead of just realizing that everyone already knows that your initial statements on the subject were due to not reading or not understanding TFA. Please just stop.
He would keep his mouth shut next time. I do not think he likes it when his quick one liner based on "A cool thing to just say" gets turned on him and points out with a big red arrow his lack of any real knowledge in the situation. Shame on you. You should have just let him seem cool. I think he really needs it.
That is not Android locking your phone. That is your carrier doing it on your carrier subsidized phone. If you want an Open Android phone BUY ONE.
"But, but I want my phone to cost $30.00 and be open and no contract and I do not want to read contracts before I sign them, Oh an I also want evil bankers who gave me $495,000 for a home to just decide to knock off $200,000 on what I owe because I have decided that I made a boo boo."
I do not think that was ever a question. If it was it was a question put out and fostered by Apple fanboys and shills to promote anti Android FUD. Google made their reasons for not releasing Honeycomb very clear. They also made very clear at that time that the next version would be released as the previous versions had been. Can we please be done with this particular discussion?
Excuse my Squirley ignorance. But please explain to me what you think is innovative enough about RE-Inventing something that you can sue companies out of existence and destroy jobs because of you right to WON something that someone else came up with before you.
It is precisely because of people like Steve Jobs and corporations like Apple that everyone is so scared to do anything new. Fuck Steve, Fuck Apple, Fuck Steve, Fuck Microsoft, Fuck Darl, Fuck SCO, fuck them all.
They pretty much told you that Honeycomb was a dead end in the beginning and that they would not release the source code of that. Oh wait, Posting AC, iMicrosoft shill just trying to spread FUD.
Don't you start in with all your facts and shit. Remember. No one is allowed to judge anyone else. You shall from this moment on assume all people / countries / religions / companies are equal. They are not "Created" equal. They ARE equal. Judgement based on facts is unfair.
How long till speaking technology hates other speaking technology?
“Ghastly,” continued Marvin, “it all is. Absolutely ghastly. Just don't even talk about it. Look at this door,” he said, stepping through it. The irony circuits cut into his voice modulator as he mimicked the style of the sales brochure. “All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.”
I hate Facebook. I have to admit though this one is a bit of a stretch. I am not saying do not hate Facebook. I am saying hate Facebook for 80,000 other reasons.
I have to agree. SEO has a purpose. It is to screw with my search results. I will say it just one time. If you want to be a popular site Have content. Have style, Have community and Have some fun. You will end up popular and highly thought of and used. SEO companies are only there to screw results to get evil to the top then they go after the non evil and point out how evil has bumped them down. SEO then makes money putting non evil rich to the top and so on. SEO has nothing to offer. If SEO companies were all told to "FUCK RIGHT OFF" and their CEOs killed and their heads raised upon sticks the internet would work better for All.
I only get my humor from Jon Stewart. He is a funny guy. But when you dig into his humor you do not get a coherent, logical political stance. You get funny, lean to the left humor. I like Jon Stewart. I liked him more when he knew he was just a comedian.
The server status screen may not be useful when one server goes down. But if you have hundreds of servers and the display is laid out correctly pagers going off 12 times will not give you the same overview of the situation a visual display of what is up and what is down will. Granted. You do not need a 247" screen, but having a visual of a complicated and large network and its equipment can be of help when the shit hits the fan.
No. But in the Earlier history of the US we have an example of how a small amount of regulation coupled with strong individualism created in a very short time a very powerful and rich country. Then the wealth and power corrupted the government. Unions use government to make it impossible to not pay a cop that beats a man to death. Businesses use government to saddle their competition with regulations. People use government to cut them a check for being a lazy bastard.
The government gets bloated and powerful. The individualism is beat out of the populace. All is guaranteed to be "Fair" according to the regulations set down by "The Peoples Fairness Committee" Brought to you by Microsoft. Then the system collapses.
When the Government says a company can not build a plant in another State, or you can not fire the 600lb employee for the good of the little guy. or When the Government creates laws so that Mickey Mouse stays in copyright forever and signs laws that put you in prison for sharing for the good of the big guy.
These are not problems with corporatism or socialism. They are problems that can be only solved by removing the governments powers to do these things,
Sony can not force me to do shit without the government stepping in.
Big government is your enemy. Whether it is coming down on Boeing or Beating a homeless man to death.
It is my observation and opinion that Government is both the protector of the people and the enemy of the people. Government should be strong in matters of foreign policy and weak at home. Governments that are too strong at home are always oppressive.

Or one of the many other ROMs you can get for Android phones when your carrier no longer updates.
Wonderful.
BTW how long do you think handset makers and carriers should be forced to update phone software for?

You can be a complete asshole now under the cover of authority making less money for a bigger evil.
They pretty much told you that Honeycomb was a dead end in the beginning and that they would not release the source code of that.
Oh wait, Posting AC, iMicrosoft shill just trying to spread FUD.
So in effect you are stating that your brain does not work well so for you an iPhone is better?
I had to!
