The jQuery authors tell you to design your code to "fail gracefully". Let the content still be accessible even if the stylesheet is missing or the js doesn't run.
This greatly depends on how, where, and when you drive. I routinely get 54+ mpg (based on actual calculation of fuel used and miles driven over a year). 65 mpg if I drive like a total dick.
The same year (2006) corolla gets about 32 mpg. I have two friends with toyota corollas.
In years I don't drive like a total dick, 30,000 miles cost me $1112 ($2 for about 556 gallons). The corolla cost $1876 ($2 for about 938 gallons).
So I save $764 a year. When gas was at $4, I saved $1528.
Besides, I like the car anyway. Try fitting 2 single kayaks INSIDE a corolla.
I bought a prius, not because of my "hippie cred" or to pickup college girls, but because it is a good car. It's fun to drive, and when the warranty is over I can hack on it to make it more efficient than you can possibly imagine. Plug in and EV kits, pv cells maybe someday would be fun. This car even has cheat-codes! (to disable beeps, etc.)
It costs less per mile than any available 4-door diesel cars available in my market.
I'm not sure how exactly I fit into the "American Idiot" category, but I'm the last person to bad-mouth stereotyping: it's a great time saver.
seriously. it's how I learned that kinetic energy varies directly to 1/2 the mass and to the square of the velocity.
and how rabbits deal with sucking chest wounds and uncompensated hypovolemic shock.
dealing with sights and optics taught me about angles in degrees and minutes-of-angle and how they work with customay measurements and created triangles of horizontal trajectories. (there's mils for the same thing in metric).
dealing with virticle trajectory taught me about objects falling toward the center of the earth at 1/2 gravity x (time squared) no matter how fast they are going. and how quadrant is measured to compensate for various co-efficient's of drag and velocities/grains of bullets.
plus all the responsibility, maintenance, cleaning, and stuff. it was probably the best thing I got at 13. it sparked my interest in science and showed me how physics and math is integral in EVERYTHING you do.
"I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody". Obama
Everyone is free to spread their wealth around all they want. If the government is going to spread YOUR wealth, it can only be done if the government owns your wealth. If the government owns your wealth, that's Marxism in a nutshell.
Maybe you need an O'Reilly book. Liberals mean liberty about as much as Conservatives mean conservation.
When exactly did I say that we had no obligation to contribute? Taxes are levied to support a limited social contract. We all pay in for that.
So, when I make an item and then sale the item to you: you obviously had more money than items so the item was worth more to you that the money. I had more items than money, and therefore valued your money more than my item. You get item, which you liked more than your money (you gain value). I get money which i liked more than my item (i gain value).
How exactly is my actually keeping that money equating to:
taking everything you can
No, we both used roads and police protection (etc) to get this deal done, so we both chip in money to have roads and police (etc). Those are taxes.
Go live on a remote mountain? How will I get/.? What if we do this? We have America be free like it was supposed to be. And we have socialist countries like Venezuela. And I will go to the country I like...you go to the one you like?
Since you asked...Gandhi II was a character in the classic Weird Al film UHF.
No one in America is dieing because we aren't taking enough from rich people. We pay taxes to support a limited social contract to protect life, liberty, and property.
If someone's life is in danger, then as part of our "limited social contract" to "promote the general welfare", then of course the funds are to be used to keep said "pauper" alive.
Buttfuck, Alabama? I'm familiar with BFE, but assumed it was Egypt. Anyway...what happens when enough people realize they don't really have to work very hard, since the collective whole will take up the slack? Where is the incentive to work harder or be smarter if the collective whole will get the rewards and your life never changes (or worse yet, just gets absorbed by all the lazy people mentioned above?)
People naturally form free markets. It's our nature. Look at every black market operating in any socialist country. Supply and demand. Property and exchange. When you fight it, you loose your efficiency (look at 1980's Soviet factories). You loose your competitive edge (look at public schools). Oh...and you eventually loose your freedom.
I'd actually see people living free... i guess i'm just a crazy libertarian nutjob. (:
You do know a government is in place for the benefit of the people
Lets go down the list of the biggest socialist regimes in history. The Soviet Union...check. Their nationalization of all private property and gov't distribution of everything from jobs, to schools, to health care, to cars places them at the leftest of the leftists. And the communist party was for the benefit of the people? Ok.
North Korea....oh, check. Kim Jung-Ill gives a fuck about his people? Or does he just like being in charge? His collective farm system works SO WELL that NK needs regular shipments of...everything?
Communist China (before they moved to the more profitable fascism). Mao "benefitted" over 45 million Chinese into the ground.
We can keep going. The truth is: In capitalism, man exploits man, and in communism it is the exact opposite. The difference is I have some choices and property in capitalism and a chance to change my station in life with enough hard work.
I agree with you that corporate welfare is a problem. I dislike government-owned corporations as much as i dislike corporation-owned governments. If Jefferson where here he'd probably mention a "wall of separation" between corp and state.
And yes, the world IS organized pretty well. You can choose from every form of government you can think of. You can even join a hippy commune and have your own. But you leftists seek to homogenize the world into 1 class, the poor. And that my friend is an absurd attempt to remake the world.
You don't mind giving up a larger portion of YOUR property if you had over X amount. Thanks for speaking for everyone else by approving of tax to redistribute wealth.
Here's an idea, if you like higher taxes but don't want to fund things you don't believe in: support a charity or philanthropic organization you DO support. That's your right, since it's your property.
My property is mine. I've been endowed with certain inalienable rights...namely life, liberty and property. Don't sign me up for YOUR redistribution plan.
You know...the world is organized pretty well already. If you like communism (the government deciding what IS yours), there are communist countries. If you like free enterprise, there are free market countries where you can live. Why must Obama and all the leftists insist on spreading socialism worldwide? Because "a communist is someone who has nothing and is eager to share it with you." (Churchill).
Ps. I'm a guy that makes about 11 bucks an hour. I'll succeed and fail on my own hard work, initiative, and ambition. I don't want your entitlements now, and I don't want to compulsorily pay for someone else's entitlements later.
No offense to wherever you are, but I haven't seen such crazy restrictions since....well those are the worst I've ever heard of. And I've been around since the BBS days.
If you fire rifles at US soldiers in Afghanistan, you stand a small chance of ending up at Gitmo. Statistically, you have a better chance getting a 5.56mm sucking chest wound in the process.
No one ever ended up in a military detention facility for l33t haxor5 that don't involve military targets or v1@gra spam.
We've lost because Americans prefer creature comforts and speach-codes over liberty; social security and medicare over limited government as a social contract to secure life, liberty, and property. And no one will rebel, because they are dependent on the system. Thomas Jefferson tried to warn you.
My local city office, including the police, use open office. My school district uses freeBSD, koha, apache, and a few hundred other FOSS systems (and even contributes). My local college...they use and teach nfs, samba, openLDAP, and a few thousand small FOSS projects.
This doesn't change the fact that it's tacky to expect everyone else to subsidize your hobby thru offsetting public costs.
I pursue the occasional $hobby. As this activity is popular with you, the/. readers, don't you think any and all time spent towards $hobby somehow absolves me of some of my tax burden?
Don't you think that the funding of all governmental activities is somehow less my responsibility since I pursue said $hobby?
Shit dude... the other day I did something for someone. Where's my 40 acres and a mule? Why the fuck should you pay less in taxes because you help write foss? If you are running a business, and reducing your tax load helps you grow your business, employ people, and donate to political parties....then it's an INVESTMENT into your company. But if you are doing FOSS with no intent to ever make money, your police, fire, water, and multiple wars aren't going to pay for themselves.
Careful there...you're about to make a non-car analogy about intrinsic value of said property and it's redeemable worth in corporeal markets. Aren't you?
Even if your imaginary property is your livelihood, we don't believe in it.

Is your software SC24-compliant?
Remember when you modded me a troll for opining that socialism is incompatible with liberty and democratic ideals?
I think you said something to the effect that "Here in Europe we are all kinds of socialist, and it rules!" (I'm paraphrasing).
This is one of those little symptoms. Oh...and laws restricting free-speech....that's one too.
the "killing nazis" genre. beyond moral reproach.
A tax-payer funded institution at that.

Seriously, billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded subsidies and all I got was this lousy duopoly.
