Looking at your posting history, we see that for you its all about government. You want the government into everything. You dont even believe in private property rights.
Why are you blathering on about public transport when the discussion is about private business?
Oh, I get it. You think that there shouldnt be any private business. You wont admit it of course, but anyone that takes a look at your posting history will see that its true. You do not believe in free enterprise, private property rights, nor the liberty of ordinary people.
then why don't you pay double for your gasoline? you are getting a 50% discount thanks to government subsidies
See here folks how disgusting and utterly repulsive liberals are. They just make shit fucking up when its convenient in order to support their otherwise unsupportable arguments. Its usually not this fucking obvious and blatant, but its always there.
Comes of not being an American I think. Having not personally met an Jamaican I didn't even realise that it sounded like that accent.....
It doesn't. Seriously. Its like nobody has heard a fucking Jamaican accent, but some people think they know what a jamaican sounds like and have declared Jar-Jar a racist character based on only their imagination. What we actually see here is there isa group of racist people that see an annoying computer generated thing on the screen and have stereotyped it.
Here is a real Jamaican, Peter Tosh giving a fairly long speech. Jar-Jar and the rest of his race sound nothing at all like this. Zero similarity.
Jar-Jar was annoying. End of story. Progressive racists wanna see racism everywhere. End of that story too.
But this further kills the incentive to follow long, complicated stories that take months of investigation of multiple sources. Like say, most government corruption investigations.
You just described how journalism used to be, not how it currently is. Nobody is doing that.
The Federal budget is almost $4 trillion dollars for a population of about 320 million people. Thats about $12500 per person, and that does not include the nearly $4 trillion dollars also spent by State and Local governments for the same people.
And you've got the balls to say there isnt much waste? My guess is that you are a Democrat, right? You guys have a real hard time understanding numbers once a dollar sign is put in front of it.
To quote my 8th grade math teacher when I asked "But isn't there a way to calculate square roots?".. he answered "There is no way to calculate square roots. It must be done by trial and error."
That sums up K-12 math education right there. He wasn't lying. He just didn't know.
I think sleep allows the brain to repeat experiences, but otherwise isnt all that special as far as learning. For those that don't know, the primary learning methodology of the biological brain is known to be hebbian which can be summed up quite succinctly as "neurons that fire together wire together." Sleep allows experiences to be repeated, increasing the strengths between neurons that otherwise rarely fire outside of those experiences.
Since TRIM is a standardized command, SSD vendors either need to support it, or like is done with the format command on IDE drives... do nothing, return a success value.
They do support the TRIM command.
The "bug" is how TRIM and command queuing interact (specifically a race condition labeling the wrong logical sectors RZAT/DRAT) I put "bug" in quotes because the specification specifically says that TRIM is a non-queued command. Windows/NTFS makes sure that the queue is empty before issuing a TRIM. Linux/EXT4 does not.
Ideally the drives should make sure that their queue is empty themselves, but it likely takes a tortured reading of the specification to think that compliant drives will make sure that their queue is empty.
"Folks said that Pocket should have been a bundled add-on that could have been more easily removed entirely from the browser. We tend to agree with that, and fixing that for Pocket and any future partner integrations is one concrete piece of engineering work we need to get done."
Translation: The additional revenue per user from Pocket doesnt make up for the lost revenue due to declining install base from of our other monetization efforts.
Greece, well, other than tourism and exports, doesn't have much.
Imports exceed exports almost 2:1. Greece should never have joined the zone. The gap is too wide to not have a currency that can adjust to the imbalance.
That you think they're talking points shows that you have no idea what's actually going on with your government.
This isnt quite correct I think. It isnt that he doesnt know whats going on. Its that he doesnt understand the significance of the facts. He only understands the "significance" of the sound-bites that tug on heart-strings. This is the guy that thinks that when it comes to public policy, that "everyone's opinion is of equal worth." Opinion trumps data and facts in his world.

because its really all about you

You only assign liberty to government. Fuck off.
I just see standard pattern number 7 in the Rorschach series that tests obsessive compulsiveness.
The statistics that films which receive good critical review are more likely to receive an academy award is unquestionable.
The academy awards is the very definition of circle jerk. Its hollywood giving hollywood accolades based on hollywood opinion.

there are rules and laws for a reason
Yes, superhero movies like Serenity.... oh wait...
He did the Star Trek reboots... those are kind of fun.
Star Trek: Lens Flair
The only decent big-screen sci-fi director/producer//writers that are left seems to be Joss Whedon and James Gunn.

There is not enough waste to cut to pay for it.
The Federal budget is almost $4 trillion dollars for a population of about 320 million people. Thats about $12500 per person, and that does not include the nearly $4 trillion dollars also spent by State and Local governments for the same people.

Zero chance that you will ever run a successful business. Your ideas are insane. They dont make any sense for any reason other than hand-waving.
Businesses try to maximize total profit you ignorant donkey.

That journalists are the ones arguing about 'not having to work to live'?
Because real Journalism is dead. These people dont work any more. They just report.
Toshiba invented flash memory. I am hopeful that they do something decent with the OCZ brand.
Wouldn't you maximize their value by keeping their numbers down?
Yes, but why would the owner of a herd of rhinos want to maximize the value of an individual rhino?
Think.
Do you think that farmers try to maximize the value of an individual ear of corn?

Being the smartest kid in the shortest bus doesn't make one "special" all on its own. Now, also being captain of the AV squad... now THAT is special.

Imports: $60.5 billion
Exports: $33.8 billion
Difference: $26.7 billion
so about that $7 billion...
What does the ability of private investors investing in private companies have to do with "banking establishments"?
Its one and the same to the left-leaning. Not sure why. The left used to be about Liberty, now its about State.

Remember, before Obama took it over,the conservative Heritage Foundation invented what is now the ACA,
Oh you thought that this fact defended the ACA? Since you sit there actively defending evil, we can only conclude one thing: You are evil too.
