Most people who take a highly polarized political stance - whatever the direction - are blatant hypocrites once you scratch the surface a little. It's just that people who are "staunch" anything tend to have difficulty understanding things like nuance and irony.
Nope. Still too soon. Just reading the letters "SBLive!" sent a flood of nauseating memories through my consciousness... broken drivers, bluescreens, corrupted windows installations, and oh so many lost hours.
China will make itself whatever its government wants it to become where Google is around or not.
Well yes and no. There is always a risk that by disconnecting from the tools and information made available by Google - which is after all a world-changing force in IT innovation - there will be a dampening effect on China's own IT landscape. It won't be anything huge, but it will be a small incremental disadvantage when compared to countries who's IT sectors are fully open to use whatever tools they want.
Google loses a couple tenths of a percent in global revenues. China loses a couple tenths of a percent in innovation.
The difference between ANI and CLID is that CLID is what gets displayed to people when their phone rings. That is where this issue begins and ends. If I go to the bank and take out a loan using stolen identity, it is illegal because the stolen identity is what I am displaying to the bank. The fact I might be carrying other, legitimate pieces of ID in my pocket is irrelevant, because I am trying to pass off false credentials as my own during the business transaction in question.
Small question but... what happens when all the people you know implement your philosophy? How do call somebody back when they have a policy of never picking up the phone?
more reasonable country, say New Zealand or Canada, I beg you to contact your MPs and demand transparency in this process
Fat chance. The current Canadian government has spent the last 4 years actively dismantling the institutions of democracy and transparency. They love the fact this is all taking place in complete secrecy.
Do we start wasting actual police resources in raiding swapping parties and neighborhood wifi meshes?
The most interesting part of this question is the word "we"
Who do you mean by "we"? Who's resources are "we" wasting? My hunch is that the people conducting these negotiations behind closed doors have little if any problem having you spend your own (tax) dollars in order to police your own behaviour, while the "content owners" get free enforcement of their right to make profit.
In my experience (having travelled fairly extensively in both Canada and the US, both for business and pleasure), the use of the pronunciation "nookuler" has little or nothing to do with regional dialects. I've met people in urban settings who pronounce it correctly and I've met people in urban settings who pronounce it incorrectly. I've met people in rural settings who pronounce it correctly and I've met people in rural settings who pronounce it incorrectly. What I have noticed, and maybe this is just my experience, is that it's primarily about intellectual carelessness. The same people who say "nookuler" will say things like "dethaw" or will use the spelling "definatly" in an email. These are the people who can't be bothered to listen carefully. These are the people who place a low priority on presenting themselves well.
If it's somebody serving me a cup of coffee and a donut, I'm not too worried about it. Go ahead, be intellectually lazy. If it's somebody driving my taxi, I'm not too worried about it. Go ahead, be intellectually lazy. But if it's somebody who holds the highest post in the United States, somebody who holds the metaphorical keys to the nookuler arsenal, somebody who represents an entire nation to the world... well, being intellectually lazy is simply inexcusable.
From TFA: Neither Bailey nor Kanazawa identify themselves as liberal; Bailey is conservative and Kanazawa is "a strong libertarian."
So where exactly is the part where Liberals are stereotyping and ridiculing anything? Or are you suggesting scientific research should be suppressed when somebody's feelings might get hurt?
Once upon a time, there was an expectation that the person holding the highest office in the land would conduct themselves in a concise, careful, and wise manner. The fact that a growing majority of Americans would rather embrace the contrived folksy populism of people like W or Sarah Palin is strong evidence (though hardly the only evidence) that America is entering the long decline suffered by every past empire.
define the cable for them using terms they will understand. That is part of your role as a support person.
Okay, so using nothing but text, please describe the concise difference between:
- An ethernet port
- An ethernet cable
- A telephone/fax port
- A telephone/fax cable
- A USB port
- A USB cable
... all while assuming it's a complete newb at the other end of the phone.

I don't understand your complaint. This week, March 21-27, the right-of-the-week is the right to indulge in bad spelling and grammar.
Next week it's eating nachos while wearing unlaundered trackpants.
CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, et cetera have a pro-government and anti-individual-liberty bias

Indeed, and for people browsing Fox News, you don't even need a computer to be infected.
Shudder ...

It is certainly easy to visualize an outcome where the government is shamed into more open policies. Of course, its easy to visualize the reverse too.
Where Google is praised into more closed policies?

Why would somebody outside of Japan want to make a ride or attraction smell like urine??
Fixed that for you.
Nonsense.

Why? It doesn't seem to have been a job qualification to be able to spell or pronounce "nookuler"

By the standards of many countries outside of the USA, Obama is not a centrist at all - he is well to the right of centrist.
