I walked into a sub shop, handed somebody a piece of paper with the magic words "Five Dollars" on it, and demanded that person make me a sub.
If I was that person, I would have told you to go fuck yourself and would have had every legal right to do so.. because while you "demanded" a sub, you could not actually demand to get one. You can ask to get one, in exchange for the money.
This is precisely the problem with you fake liberals.. you dont know the difference between voluntary and involuntary commerce. Thats why you so often mistakenly blame the "evil corporations" for the actions of the government that forces you to do commerce with them.
Real liberals believe in liberty. This generations liberals are all about using the excuse of "fairness" in order to justify slavery.
It is doubtful that the president has anything equal in value to bargain with. Trade agreements are so valuable that the president is just a yes-man to the people that really decide on them...
I live in California. When they deregulated the energy market, they only did a partial deregulation. In this case, partial dereg made things much worse.
Indeed, but the problem began much sooner, when they chased most of the power producers out of the state to begin with.
We really need to move away from the sanctification of the people who signed the Constitution, away from the sanctification of the Constitution
We already did that. Thats worked out oh so well that the government is now spying on you carte-blanc.
The founding fathers were free from coercion when they jotted down the new limits of government that no country had ever tried before, and you sit there defending a reversion to totalitarianism as if its the right way forward.
Go suck on Obama's cock some more, you fucking cock sucking prick.
No, it isn't, and that's not even remotely a good idea.
Yes, its not a good idea.. but you are wrong, because it is inevitable.
Every single aspect that enables it is trending towards negligible cost, negligible size, and negligible power requirements.
Nearly every American today is walking around with a camera of one sort or another, a fact that small minds such as yours would have laughed at only 10 years ago. Even $30 pay-as-you-go phones picked up off-the-shelf at Walmart, which are primarily phones, have fucking cameras. In another 10 years, every piece of junk mail you receive will have a camera in it watching you. Thats how fucking inevitable it is.

In every voluntary trade each side benefits otherwise there would be no trade.
True.
If Apple wants to set up deals with publishers to set prices nod the customers agree to pay those prices who is actually the victim?
Everybody but Apple.
The reason its not so simple is because its not a single-variable problem. The optimal price for each retailer to sell at is different.
A simple example of this sort of thing are price differences between the prices at convenience stores and grocery stores.
What Apple was doing was conspiring with the publishers so that the minimum price that anyone could sell at was a close approximation of only Apples optimal price. The publishers have already plead guilty. Apple is trying to claim innocence. Fuck Apple.
The case has nothing to do with that. Do you really think that going to a supplier and saying "I'll buy huge quantities at a reasonable price, but if you sell to someone else for less then I instead get that price" is in any way illegal or even unreasonable?
Apple didnt organize fixed wholesale pricing with publishers. They organized fixed retail pricing via publishers.
Not just illegal.. obviously illegal. The fact that you dont see that tells us something about you...
My theory is that the shitty doctors and nurses and up working the weekends, because if they were actually decent at their job they wouldnt have ended up with the least popular days of the week.
Probably they will find in the case of emergency procedures, that the night crew also does poorly.
AMD fanboys never want to discuss the fact that the i7 4770 is roughly 4 times faster than the A10
Wrong. We discuss it. But when we start talking about price you people go back to this. Exactly this.
The i7-4770 costs 4+ times as much (currently if you pre-order) as the most expensive AMD A10 chip, which also arent even the fastest AMD chips available.
Lets see what you did:
Price was brought up, so you responded by not mentioning price at all, and proceeded to compare the highest performing Intel chip ever with a mid-range AMD part.
I'm glad that you shit so much money that its not a factor in your buying decisions. Is that a Macintosh you've got there?
So let's compare single threaded CPU performance at equal price points then shall we. No?
Yes. Lets do that.
Ah right, the comparison of choice lately has been gaming performance at equal price points.
Oh, I thought you were going to do that thing you said in the sentence before. But you didn't, as I predicted. You failed to make an equal price comparison even after suggesting that you would.
And no, this second sentence is not true either. For example, the previous comparison article on slashdot compared a $600 Intel system with a $300 AMD system.

In other news, a man sentenced to watching 40 hours of Jersey Shore committed suicide this morning after only fulfilling one 4 hour session...
He doesnt really know what the word "demand" means. He clearly thinks it means voluntary commerce among private citizens.

real time decoding of FLAC uses less that 10% cpu on a $25 raspberrypi (ARMv6).
So it costs 10% of the peak power usage of the device. is your pi solar powered, or do you pay for electricity?
There is literally no reason not to use it.
Computational complexity....
But lets not consider the actual realities here... lets assume computation has zero cost.
However they are subverting the will of the public
Do you respect the right to live?
Yes, but you should not have a right to anyones labor in order for you to live.
As soon as you decide that you have the right to someones labor, thats called slavery.
It is doubtful that the president has anything equal in value to bargain with. Trade agreements are so valuable that the president is just a yes-man to the people that really decide on them...
Behold the power of negative thinking.
...its as if you fuckers think that you are in zugzwang. The chance of that being true is just about zero.
Is the word that you are looking for periapsis, the point where two orbiting bodies are closest?

When you don't know the standard terminology,
Windows doesn't come bundled with common tools I use, such as a compiler
Yes it does. It comes with several. It doesnt come with an IDE.

I can play this game. Who forces farmers to rebuy GMO seed every year?
Thats the government that forces that. Perhaps you shouldnt have started with such a bad example?
Corporations cant force anything.

Go suck on Obama's cock some more, you fucking cock sucking prick.
If we sell all the Americans targeted by spy tools to other governments then that might close the budget gap!
No, it isn't, and that's not even remotely a good idea.
Yes, its not a good idea.. but you are wrong, because it is inevitable.

The biggest thing I'm confused about is why the general electorate is quiet on this.
Most of the popular press isnt reporting it, and even when they do its 30 seconds followed by 2 hours of love for Obama.

Microsoft is literally doing better than ever financially. Ignorant tools are worried about market share percentages instead of market volume.
Microsoft can even dictate which archs can turn off Secure Boot and which cannot in the first place..
No they can't.
The accurate statement is that Microsoft can dictate which devices are certified by them and which are not.
But lets not let facts get in the way of the extreme fear and hate you have...
