And if you look good, you feel good. Sure, changing my UI won't bag me women, but changing my clothes might. Function and form are inseparable. It's the reason we use whitespace in code, and shiny packaging for everything. But you already knew that, didn't you.
I have patented a process that assigns an avatar gender to a name with One-Clickâ. The One-Clickâ process trounces the IBM competition with its capacity for user-configurable customisation and laser beams.
Ah, but with TV-B-Gone, we CAN be petty dictators! And to those of you that have Customer-B-Gone, it won't make any difference. See, we can all have what we want.
Two men are in a boat in the middle of the ocean. The first man starts drilling a hole underneath him, while the second man looks on in astonishment. The second man says, "Why are you drilling a hole in the boat? Can't you see you'll make us sink?" And the first man says,
"The hole is underneath ME. What business of it is yours?"
But you're still talking about a country that started at a tyrannical baseline and has moved away from it. Now we're moving back, it's a new challenge and much stronger than anything we've faced before.
Apathy is definitely right. I for one am a proponent of the "she'll be right" philosophy. But these fucking politicians are really starting to piss me off.
It's not time for different politicians. It's time for a complete change. Ideas, anyone?
That may be a part of the issue. However I think it's just a question of immaturity.
Australia is still a very young country, it has never had to deal with oppression or tyranny in any way, and we are unable to even identify it let alone stop it.
I think a few years of purgings and an inquisition or two will set us on the right track, harsh as that may seem.
We're all implicit in this problem. These guys are just following the pleasure - like everyone does. The music gives me pleasure so I take it. The money gives them pleasure so they take it.
If they were to one day say they didn't want the money, it would be because its gives them more pleasure that way. And if I were to say that I didn't want the music, it's because it would give me more pleasure that way.
We can't avoid this. We're programmed that way. We are the negative terminal on the Universe's positive one, all we know how to do is take. Which is fine. But we're not taking from the right place. We're taking from each other, always at each other's expense. And this can never last, it just becomes fascism.
Please people, look into your hard drives, and open your collective mercy files. Check out Bnei Baruch, you may or not regret it. But it's at least a start at trying to understand what the fuck is going on.
Have you noticed how no matter how much we're discussing this, no matter how many opinions come out, they inevitably CAN'T make everyone happy? This is a fact of life. Why is this?
If science has taught us anything, it's that there's things in reality that we don't understand. There are laws of nature. At the moment we are defining them relatively to each other - but never actually understanding or perceiving the force behind them.
When the government tries to make everyone happy with crap like this (and they DO think they're helping, however misguided that may be) it always fails.
It doesn't matter if you live in the US, UK, or you're an aussie like me. We are all going to be touched by this. Look how close we are, how absolutely interconnected our money is, our internets, our ideas and feelings. Saying "i'm glad i live in the UK" won't shield you from it.
As long as we keep trying to make a better world through influencing our physical reality, it is always at the expense of something else. We rob peter to pay paul over and over again (conservation, energy, mass, anyone?) And look how the government does their thing. They try to make us happy, or sad, with their laws and they fail every time. And eventually the laws turn into fascism because there's so fucking many of them.
In terms of energy, the horse as left the gate by the time we perceive that it exists. So how can we expect to change things?
Check out Bnei Baruch, it at least attempts to answer the real question.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
The ball of fascism started rolling a loooong time ago fellas. It is the natural progression of thinking you can change things in -this- world.
Our physical plane, our beautiful sweet slashdot.org, is a world of outcomes. We will -never- fix these serious problems by attempting to adjust the variables in the physical world.
We keep trying to sort, filter, and hide and show columns on our spreadsheet of Earth. Nobody is attempting to reprogram the query behind it... this is the only way. We need to adjust the query, the hidden mechanics behind the output you perceive via your five senses. All of us.
Please, check out Bnei Baruch. It is a flowchart for how to fix these problems - not how to believe, or think, or feel, or any of that shit. Just pure, scientific methods to fix the problem in the mechanics. It's Kabbalah. It's not fucking red strings, Madonna and insurance salesmen. It's a flowchart for the most basic assembly you'll ever understand.
The net outcome will be equivalence of form with our Creator, one way or another. All life moves to this rhythm.
It's only a question of whether we choose to suffer through it, or celebrate it.
The science of Bnei Baruch offers some interesting insight into this.
I posit: It is our less than optimally functioning faculties that have us believing the earth is round.
The earth is in fact flat, but the curvature of our irises and telescope lenses is what produces the "round earth" theory.
Perhaps if the lenses in our eyes were flat we would see our flat earth in all its glory.

Yup, Malone's in the pocket just like anyone else. You think Conroy would choose someone who wasn't?
It looks good.

haha troll will laugh last when billy goats gruff find out the grass isn't greener on the other side of FCC legislation.
Call me a troll.. +1 parent

Just because you don't like TV-B-Gone doesn't mean it doesn't have its place.
There, fixed that for you.
Ah, but with TV-B-Gone, we CAN be petty dictators! And to those of you that have Customer-B-Gone, it won't make any difference. See, we can all have what we want.
Your and idiot :/
Anything is rampant on the internet, if you look for it.
so let's find out.
Too true.Reminds me of a story.
Two men are in a boat in the middle of the ocean. The first man starts drilling a hole underneath him, while the second man looks on in astonishment. The second man says, "Why are you drilling a hole in the boat? Can't you see you'll make us sink?" And the first man says,
"The hole is underneath ME. What business of it is yours?"
Yea, fair call.
But you're still talking about a country that started at a tyrannical baseline and has moved away from it. Now we're moving back, it's a new challenge and much stronger than anything we've faced before.

/b/ != "dark corners of the internet".
It says so in the New York Times.
That may be a part of the issue. However I think it's just a question of immaturity.

Yes. The only way to fight surveillance is with yet more surveillance, you clever cookie.

Somebody should tell McCain that /b/ is anonymous.
Wow, I can tell you've been in the army.
Yeah, you heard me.

A "green city" in China -is- a chemical intrusion into the local environment.
