I actually had to sit here and reflect a moment on how this is a mirror fucking image of some campaign ads I've seen. At the time I thought it ridiculous and misrepresenting, but your example has really made it clear how effective this dirty trick is.
Some of it was his observations, and other parts were his suggestions to Medici. However, none of what I'm reading paints him as overly cynical and certainly not malevolent. Just a bit bitter at times.
Haven't gotten to the chapters on conducting war yet.

OMG! HAHAHA.. ok ok, now tell me how that one works. Where a company would sacrifice profit for trying to improve something they already dominate the market in?
Thanks for the links. That's great for me as a linux user, but it presents a problem for anyone not on a Unix based system. Specifically, wouldn't windows users suffer (as I doubt that M$ will include support for these in the near future)?
Correct my ignorance please if I am wrong, but isn't there a foreseeable problem in how file systems and disk drivers are optimized to deal with problems of rotating disks and not writing to NAND based storage? File system programming isn't something I know much about, but I thought that FS were always engineered with the physical problems of working with a spinning disk in mind.
From what is sounds like, the problems of a SSD device warrant a differently designed file system.
Well recreation has an important place, but I can see what you mean as sport teams being iconic of the school and such.
Admittidly though, it does put money in the research budget... though for HS the usual excuse is that it helps put students into colleges which then allows the funding blah blah blah. However, there is a good debate to be had about the discrepancy between sports scholarships and academic scholarships. I'm not sure that being able to play well enough in a sport constitutes a FULL ride.
The reality is though, that this kind of thing will be part of HS and college education whether it's academically justifiable or not. There's too much to be gained, and the demand is very high. Colleges now, and arguably before, are becoming more and more a commercial endeavor, with the student viewed as a consumer. Students want sports? You better believe that there will be a sports team. Parents want less theoretical courses and more job skills taught? Done. Community centered around a school will pay big bucks to go see the team play? MUNIEZ! HELL YES! Core curriculum classes too hard for student athletes or trade specific students (I'm looking at you nursing students)? Let's make an "Intro to" class and make it count for the required credits in the subject area.
Thank god my college didn't have "Diversity credits" though

Most of the time, things like Automata theory fall in the category of "Crap nobody needs" but if computer science departments stopped teaching it then they would be doing a great disservice to their students and society. University, and even high school is not about "learning things you need." We have trade schools for that and there's nothing shameful about going to that instead of college either.
I think that the kids should be able to make suit and collect on the infringement of their non-consensual "artistic works" when they get older. The police should keep track of the illegal copies of these child artist's works and make sure that the infringers pay fapping royalties.
It would seem though that Michal Jackson has again bought all the rights.
Another person taking a single sentence and twisting it's context into an excuse to make a sarcastic retort.
I'm sure I'd find examples. However, I was speaking in terms of pure logic and semantics. Yes, I tend to speak "literally". Historical examples show a tendency towards something, not dire prophecy to be fulfilled.
In no case but where the example and it's circumstances make up all possible examples and circumstances in the universe of discourse can proof by the example be a valid form of argument in by itself.Hence, things in a history book to not refute my statement.
Also, you should have noticed the careful wording to allow for known tendencies and possible exceptions in the future. The negated "did or did not" and the "will or will not" exclusive or here states that the examples given will not be locked into a set pattern.
That is my rebuttal assuming that you were actually talking about the logic of my post rather then attacking me through a single exploitable line. For the latter case: go back to/b/ asshole
Where are the studies saying it didn't. Saying it did or didn't happen this way before though does not provide direct evidence that it will or will not happen today.
Did you mean to point out my mistake to show something about the content, or the reliability of the source? Or are you doing this because you think that all misuse of grammar on the Internet should be reason for public ridicule?
I made a mistake when editing my post resulting in bad grammar. Obviously that invalidates the point I was making below it.
In anticipation of a tu quoque: Yes, my post was an attack. However, it contained useful information and a content driven rebuttal. If you're going to attack people, you have the responsibility to put something meaningful into the attack. Otherwise, we're left with a meaningless flamewar.
Your pointing out my bad grammar/typo momentarily hurt my pride. If this is what you're looking for, then I hope that my 1 min of shame was enjoyable.
The probability distribution of IQ is a bell curve. If you want to find the probabilities of people above of below that use Chebyshev's inequality and a k=sqrt(2), half the probability that is left, and that's the probability that you will meet someone outside the interval of average intelligence intelligence (if you consider 50% of the population that can be found closest to the mean to define that interval.)
That's a poor form of argument. It assumes that the person was establishing direct causation
person has a degree ==> person has expertise.
However, the intended logic is, It is more likely that someone with a degree, or observable qualifications will have expertise.
Please be careful about assuming strong qualifiers in the persons logic. Most often, people are speaking in soft terms in order to be terse and avoid extremes.
I'm surprised it took this long for someone to point out what you did. Good job though.
However,there is the tendency though to want to include something that looks like a free feature. The uninformed could easily mistake SecureSpot for being a new free security addon.
Plenty of people will be dling the version with this new form of adware.
I'd be careful about openly stating that you're a fur here. I think that a lot of people here, including I, would be tolerant of your choices, but you're still the Internet's punching bag =/
Also, take into consideration that there are a lot of encyclopediadramatica readers here.
The 'wants' in the sentence "Information wants to be free" is a metaphor for natural tendency. Hence the following sentence water 'wants' to run down hill. Your misinterpretation of the anthropomorphizing of the nouns 'information' and 'water' are stemming from a misunderstanding of the literary devices here.
Sexconker and the like should feel free to argue over the natural tendency of information being free but they, supposing they passed the 5th grade, should know better then to ascribe a their own meaning to the phrase and then attack our ideals through a false proxy.
This mistake is known as a certain subfallacy of Ignoratio Elenchi (Red Herring) known as a strawman argument.

I'd vote for the sled dog. They're so cute and cuddly and can't possibly produce any legislation more stupid then some human politicians I'm aware of.
Still, a few well placed biskets, or a good scratch behind the ear, could lead to a bad corruption scandal.
