Of course gays want to get married.. look at how special married people are treated. They want to be treated special too, which is why allowing gay marriage isn't actually a fair outcome unless you define 'fair' to equal 'treating people differently.'
The fair outcome is only arrived at when the government gets the hell out of the institution of marriage.
Bitcoin needs people to spend it, not mine it, and thats a difficult problem which can't be solved without top-down (gov't) influence. People have to psychologically learn to accept bitcoins, and that wont happen unless they are made to.
Ineed, for quite awhile after Germany joined the Euro Zone almost nobody in the country used euros. Then the government announced that it would only accept tax payments in the euro. Within a few short months almost everyone was using euros.
Right now its a comparative exercise. If every country does the same thing uniformly because its all under one umbrella, then there is no longer anything to compare it to other than "the good old days."
Both state and federal taxes will come down on you like a load of bricks in that situation.
We are talking about Californians.. they are more than happy to pay their taxes.. even to the point of wanting to pay more.. thats how they seem to vote and talk, anyways.
(note: many bay area people dont realize that they are in the top 10% because when they look around they see $140K/year as being about average)
I really fucking hate yardwork, so I personally wouldn't agree with that, though I agree plenty of people would.
You can spend a portion of the money you save by living anywhere else, hiring someone else to do the yard work for you. Then you have this other money you can spend too.
The California distortion field is strong on slashdot. For example, people that think its reasonable to pay $800K for a condo, and people that think $1400 is reasonable for a one bedroom apartment.
In almost the entire country, $1400 is more than a mortgage payment on a very nice house. If you live in California then the odds are very good that you don't really have a grasp of the typical cost of living anywhere else. This is why Californians cannot comprehend how someone could live on $45K/year (the national median) elsewhere in the country, or why $20/day is actually extremely nice pay in China putting Foxconn workers on the road to early retirement.
Sounds great until the U.S. and China agree on the singular premise "fuck the people" and then they point the fingers at each other while sticking it in you.
Most of them are available for rent (which you mention in passing later, I just wanted to highlight this).
How is this functionally different than netflix, which doesnt guarantee access to things that you have previously watched later?
The only meaningful distinction between "renting a stream" and "subscription streaming", aside from what content is available right this moment, is cost breakpoints... a totally different discussion.
Soylent Green is available on Netflix. So is The Trial, Privilege is on Youtube, Punishment Park was on Netflix because I watched it there, as was THX 1138, Silient Running, Deathrace 2000. Escape from New York...im looking at it on Netflix right now.
You seem to not be able to tell the difference between netflix's DVD service and netflix's streaming service.
How do you start your car? Or open the door to your house? Something you have.
The problem is that these things are generally not very secure either. In the case of cars and homes, all they do is keep honest people out, which is exactly what a password would also do.
As far as your UberRFID idea, sounds like an easy man-in-the-middle attack could foil it. There you are at the grocery store and some guy with the right gear is staying just close enough to echo responses between your UberRFID and his confederate that is in your house, sitting at your computer. It doesnt matter where exactly you "hid" it on your person.. the attacker just has to get close enough to talk to it.
Poor baby. They must all be on Starz or HBO then right?
Most of them are available on Amazon Instant Video.
To be specific, the only ones not available are:
La jetee (1962), Privilege (1967), Sleeper (1973), Welt am Draht (1973), Death Race 2000 (1975), Sleeping Dogs (1977), Escape from New York (1981), Turkey Shoot (1982)
So while Netflix offers 20% of the first 20 movies on the dystopian list, Amazon Instant offers 60% of the first 20 movies on the dystopian list.
Not only that, just searching Amazon Instant for "Soylent Green" will include in the first page of search results (7 results) a total of 6 movies in the first 20 of the dystopian list that are available for streaming, and 3 of those are free with Prime (the movie not on the list, also free with prime.)
In other words, there are services that offer vastly more content than Netflix does in general (3x as much in this sample), and also more content even under the umbrella of a cheaper ($6.67/mo for Prime) subscription rate.
Netflix is dropping the ball. Its not the service people actually want.
It is getting harder and harder to find things that I actually want to watch on Netflix. To add to this, I decided to try and watch some classic dystopian movies that I either havent seen in a long time or have not seen as of yet. So I went to wikipedia to get a nice list of dystopian movies. Of the earliest made movies in that list, 16 of the first 20 (80%) are NOT available on netflix streaming:
La jetee (1962), The Trial (1962), Privilege (1967), Punishment Park (1971), THX 1138 (1971), Silent Running (1972), Z.P.G. (1972), Sleeper (1973), Soylent Green (1973), Welt am Draht (1973), Death Race 2000 (1975), Logan's Run (1976), Sleeping Dogs (1977), Escape from New York (1981), Blade Runner (1982), Turkey Shoot (1982)
I know that a few of these used to be available but now no longer are, such as Blade Runner and Escape from New York.
I like to think that end viewers are a variable in the maximized returns function. The variable may not be used how you expect it to be, but there is no way in hell that its not in there since they are the ones holding the money.
If Trusted Computing solved these problems, not one Apple device would ever have been rooted.
Apple is doing it wrong, silly.
You people dont seem to get it. Just because there is shit OS's out there doesnt mean that you should prevent by mandate or technical decision that no good ones can exist.
If you dont offer signed bootloaders, then you can only offer shit OS's. You will never be able to implement an OS like Integrity-178B.
but why would an exploit writer bother when they can just re-infect the machine after booting it up?
How are they going to do that if *everything* read from disk during boot is signed?
You don't seem to understand what trusted computing actually means. It does not mean just the boot sector.
It means the bios validates the boot sector, the boot sector validates the kernel, the kernel then has the power to (if constructed properly) validate literally everything else.
Mozilla killed Netscape because Microsoft wanted them too? Really?
The fact is that Mozilla killed Netscape by trying to do a complete rewrite. Years went by without a new version, and when the new version finally arrived it was worse than the old. Thats how Netscape died.

The government being involved in marriage at all is an example of big government interference.
Here is just some of the significant government involvement that defines married people as different than single people.
Of course gays want to get married.. look at how special married people are treated. They want to be treated special too, which is why allowing gay marriage isn't actually a fair outcome unless you define 'fair' to equal 'treating people differently.'

What makes you think gold should be worth as much as it is?
The fact that people are willing to pay that much for it without a fiat market distortion influencing the demand either direction.
Guns and government don't uphold the value of a currency. Trust does.
If you can pay your taxes with it, then it has real value.
If you can manufacture things with it, then it has real value.
If you can eat it, then it has real value.
If you can't do any of those things with it, then it has only speculative imaginary value.

Human Flesh, the only meat PETA will eat.

Now, as to if the CAOC would tell Reuters anything other than the time of day, that's anyone's guess.
My guess is that even the state of the clocks on the walls are classified.
this is why they killed Netscape

Businesses should not choose locations on the basis of nationalist prejudice, but on the basis of the relative virtues of each potential location.
Bullshit. It should always be decided by efficiency metrics. Period. Less efficiency is always less optimal.
"service-oriented society"
..by volume? Sounds like you want to punish miniaturization.
The only reasonable way to measure it is dollars, and the U.S. is manufacturing more than ever. We just dont use nearly as much manual labor now.
