I came upon Slashdot, visited 4chan, and now it seems it's "opposite day" on both. Today on 4chan, pro-Israel propaganda reigned supreme with little opposition to their ridicule of Ron Paul while on Slashdot, the incestuous relationships between telecoms and national intelligence agencies is dismissed as "Conspiracy theory nuttery" and not adequately challenged.
The establishment must be really afraid if they're implementing their real-time internet semantic-shaping in an attempt to pull the rug of sanity out from under us. in response to the trigger of Ron Paul finishing second in New Hampshire. It's like in Metal Gear Solid 2, when the GW AI starts fucking with Raiden's head, then Snake tells Raiden, "Don't believe anything you hear, just shoot the fucking bad guys."
Man, that episode sucked, but it was some brilliant meta-humor lampooning the anticlimactic ending of the episode.
Basically, a guy dies, leaving clues to a big mystery. Piccard, as well as a Klingon crew and Cardassian crew are all in competition to independently solve this mystery, hoping for gold or secret mega-weapons.
They all solve the mystery at once and meet at the same place where the secret is finally activated: It is a hologram of a proto-humanoid, describing(in English) how their race seeded their genetic material across the galaxy and that they are the common ancestor of all humanoid races.
Afterward, perfect comedic silence before the Cardassian says, "That's it?!" The Klingon captain responds with, "If she were not dead, I would kill her myself!"
The Nazi German government would not have functioned without civilian snitch patrols(people who had to walk the streets to see those they don't like, but now only have to traverse Facebook).
Remember, good American citizens...if you see something, say something. Be a good little Gestapo troop. If they have gay values, not traditional Christian values, let's get 'em jailed as terrorists. We are already forcing our religion upon them now, let's take it home, back to the good ol' days of the crusades.
ultrasensitive gyroscopes to measure gravity, magnetic field
Without more information, it is impossible to determine if they will be pragmatically superior to the existing laser gyroscopes, or even the humble Fluxgate Compass.
Mr. Moglen: Okay, so have you closed your Facebook account and stopped using Twitter?
Reporter: Have...I?
Mr. Moglen: Yes, you!
Reporter: No, I can't!
Yup.
Reporter can't what? Can't keep in touch with people via e-mail and telephone calls? Can't restrict online vanity to anonymous postings? Can't learn lessons they should have learned back in the MySpace and Classmates days? Can't gain reputability with a pseudonym like Jolly Roger or Ethanol-fueled?
I doubt it. Consider the last few Metallica and Red Hot Chili Pepper albums. They get paid bigger bucks than ever and they aren't even trying.
The best, most unique art I've seen was painted by community college students with good grades and recognition in the gallery being their only motivation.
Being paid for the work only encourages pandering to the preferred styles of those who have enough money to pay $100 or more for a small painting. Most digital graphic designers are almost always slaves to their customers' requirements.
In short appealing to an extremely small minority...
21.4% for third place in Iowa is not "extremely small" when the leading two got only ~24.5% each. Yet another attempt to marginalize Paul and his supporters.
The establishment would be afraid of him if he wasn't appealing to such a tiny demographic
See above. And if you're calling the overwhelming support from military personnel "a tiny demographic," then perhaps you should enlist and put your ass on the line. I hear Iran's pretty nice this time of year.
if people would vote for the candidate that best represents their point of view we wouldn't be having the sorts of problems that we're having.
A moronic and naive statement given the state of American politics. Obama, for example. Where's all that hope and change he promised? How do we know a candidate will work in our best interests based just on what they say? What about the other republican crackpots?
Also, this is a false dilemma...
No, believing that one should vote only for an establishment candidate on either side of the fence is a false dillemma, one that's been utterly ruinous to our country.
If Ron Paul is elected, two things could happen: The first is that Ron Paul will spectacularly betray us like Obama did. Okay, fair enough, people start either fleeing the country or picking up their guns. Maybe Ron Paul will be elected but be powerless to do anything. That's fine, because at least some progress was made and the message was sent. Same if Ron Paul didn't win, but got at least a third of the votes.
Exactly. As somebody above said, any PC made in 2006 is more than powerful enough to do almost anything other than play the latest bleeding-edge games. Aside from gaming and other extreme-performance, there is no longer a credible excuse to keep shoving the latest specs up the average consumer's ass.
Incidentally, I have 2 Dell computers I bought refurbished originally manufactured in 2004(laptop) and 2005(desktop) that I bought for a couple hundred dollars each, and both with linux installed perform superior to more recent Windows systems with security suites. I love showing off the fancy Compiz effects to Mac users while telling them that my whole desktop setup cost only 400$ including a new name-brand 23" flatscreen.
Haw, I might believe you if you can prove to us that it's solely Chinese technology doing the filtering, and not solutions from Western vendors such as Naurus or Procera.
All of the big links provide only details about the type of filtering and not the hardware used.
The tablet's niche in academia is note-taking by hand interspersed with book-reading, things you'd do in class. It would make the most sense to use a tablet in class and a desktop to do the heavy lifting at home.
I understand that Ron Paul is a radical. However, calling him "not viable" is defeatist given that his numbers are significantly strong. I also understand that voting for mainstream candidates is a lose-lose situation no matter what letter is appended to their name. Knowing my vote will not make a real difference, I will instead vote solely to send the message that I'm fed-up with the establishment's shit. And the establishment's treatment of Paul shows that they're afraid, otherwise they'd allow him more lip service, and I'd vote for him for that reason alone even if I weren't paying attention to everything else.
Those of you who are also fed up do the same. If not for Ron Paul, for a sensible third-party candidate. Everybody else is not working for your best interest.
But what good are they if they're not useful? Every e-machine I've seen in operation takes an hour to boot regardless of the specs. That's probably where all the "high error rate but still sellable" stuff gets compiled into systems, at a markup.
A dirty little secret is that you can train tech-level employees to do engineering work. My employer recognizes this fact, and it's a win-win situation - They save money not hiring engineers when they're not necessary, and the techs are given recognition and lucrative raises, so they're happy going above and beyond. I work time and a half to write programs while the guy across from me is designing those necessary-but-unimportant-boards to make our lives easier. Meanwhile, we have a drafter with no degree bitching about how he wants more of a challenge in doing his engineering work.
Paradoxically, there is a certain department that hires real engineers to do nothing but walk around with clipboards all day and codify common sense.
It can be and is done using popular software like Webassign and Blackboard, and at least one of those can pretty-print formulas for math and science classes.
It's close enough - what the teacher usually does is require that each participant post x number of comments or answers to others' questions. It's like actually going to class in the sense that you have your front-seat hand-raisers and you have your unmotivated back-row dwellers who respond only when called upon, and with generic answers.
It's better in a lot of ways for controversial discussions. I took an art class online where the teacher was a totally cool professional troll, showcasing Serrano's Piss Christ in a very conservative Christian area. The whole forum was stirred into a frenzy and I defended Serrano's work saying, "In history, only the most cherished objects were adorned with gold. What is the only golden substance the human body can produce?"
In a censorship discussion, I declared that nothing, not even child pornography, should be censored. I would have had the shit beat out of me had I actually said that in class.
I'll be more than happy to join an environmentally friendly, self-sustaining commune where all food is grown or killed, and electricity is generated by "exercise duty" so that the people have power and stay physically fit. Your "job" could be to pedal power 8 hours a day and you could read any literature you wanted while doing so.
The problem is that those types of situations attract more than their share of dope-addled(not the harmless marijuana, but the ex-crack and meth-heads whose brains have been rendered into mush), stinky, lecherous pederasts; and the politically correct atmosphere allows for leeches who do not put in their fair share.
I speak with authority because I have toured such communes in rural Washington.
China is the only nation that doesn't have to care about pollution. They already have a population problem. Let their pollution cull the population a bit, and it's a win-win situation.
It's not like the average Chinese citizen is gonna be charged $100,000 for a single hospital visit.
Steve kicked the bucket, but the company has internalized his megalomaniacal desire for control.
Corporations are people, after all. Like the zombified shell of SCO, litigation might be their only consistent source of revenue in light of a lack of direction.
As if it's gonna be more credible than the present state of disgusting American Mass-media. Look how they're treating Ron Paul with their clever omissions. In typical ZOG fashion, the American media is not only misleading you, they're asking for your money to do it!
Get Al Jazeera English, or another credible alternative to ZOG propaganda, up in the mainstream media and maybe I'll consider paying for "fair and balanced" media, you spineless fucks.
Show no pity or sympathy for the Aussie. Westerners are paid big bucks to work in those oil-rich kingdoms, and this prick did nothing but bite the hand that feeds him. It was his decision to teach there.
He's like a street whore who made the choice to be a rich pimp's bottom bitch, then talked shit about him when he slapped another ho and was thrown back out on the street.
As others have said, the Aussie is lucky to have escaped intact.
I could crack open your momma's ass and insert myself, but that would make her the whore, not me.
But seriously, if you were gonna attack somebody for adding meaningless fluff to this discussion, you should attack this this totally unfunny guy, who is now at +4, or the guy who responded to him saying nothing but "mod up, made me LOL."
