Except that poor people don't do that as much now.
Assuming you are talking about the civilized world of course, you know Australia/New Zealand/Canada/Germany/etc and not the USA where they have made the expicit choice to screw the poor.
Socialism was being presented as the reason for the systemic failure of the economy as a whole, not of indiviudal bank failures.
Instead of what you would have with capitilism: owners and investors in the banks that fail lose their money, rest of the economy doesn't give a shit. You get the entire economy failing because badly managed banks are propped up and given an ever increasing proportion of the economy's working capital.
Now it wasn't "socialism" that is the sole cause of this mess. Nor was is "capitalism". Under actual socialism it wouldn't have happened. Under actual capitlism is wouldn't have happened. However, taking the worst parts of each and combining them produced pretty much exactly what you would expect.

I doubt that, sure a factor but not the complete reason. And so what, you do know what competition means right?
> [I] approve when its denizens kill each other. America has been dependent on the rest of the world for its wealth. When the rest of the world tires of trading us their wealth for our Monopoly money, you'll see that America might not be first world forever. And I'm sure you'll have a blast if *your* neighbors start to kill each other.
True enough, but again so what? That'll help the "problem" even more.

Which is fine, you've had kids right? The genes have been passed on - your reason for existance is done and you are no longer needed.
Not that's a world view I agree with, but the "I have better weapons so I'll take that" is at least consistent.
Are you claiming $99.90 is more than $100. No? Then it's a saving which was the only point being raised in what I responded to.
Sure, more likely BMW is doing this because they think there are enough idiots who will say "Laser headlights? Sold!" when buying a car. But that doesn't negate the fact that the same light for less watts is a good thing.
What else would it be? We already have headlights. They already work.
Saving the driver money in fuel costs doesn't seem such a bad thing.
Though of course you know there's an idiot somewhere planning to put ten of them on their car and run them at twice the old power level in order blind some drivers.

You can perform a MitM attack against an unencrypted connection just as easily - so nothing has changed there.
You can snoop an unencrypted connection without being a MitM but you can't do so on an encrypted connection. Hence clearly the self-signed cert is safer than an unencrypted connection.
Clearly safer - the attacks against it are a subset of the attacks on an unencrypted connection - it removes some vectors without adding any new ones.
You're an idiot. Your link isn't suggesting Alice in Wonderland as suitable 12th grade level reading material. It's being studied as a piece of literature - which it is, it has way more depth to it than 99% of "adult" literature.
Because Toyota didn't invent regenerative braking and claiming they did is clearly just trolling. Because it is impossible to be so stupid as to actually believe they did.
A bluetooth keyboard and mouse will (assuming you don't choose poorly) have much better ergonomics than a laptop keyboard and "mouse". The laptop screen being attached to they keyboard also provides extremely poor ergonomics since either the screen is too low or the keyboard too high. And yes you could just use the bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the laptop, but now you aren't using the keyboard on the laptop so why not get a tablet?
*Note: I don't use tablets, I use a laptop, but a tablet plus bluetooth mouse/keyboard plus some aort of stand for the tablet is the same ergonomics as a desktop machine which is *way* better than that of a laptop.
Because you would never leverage the someone's past indiscretions when doing such a thing. No far better to pick something completely out of their character and set them up for that.
If someone has a history of drug use you would never acuse them (and plant evidence if you are being serious) of drug possession/use - no that would make it too easy. Much better to make something completely new up and set them up for that.
If someone has a prior association with prostitutes you would never simply arrange for them to be caught with a prostitute. No! Much easier to arrange for guy who has never touched a drug in his life to be caught with some heroin.
Seriously, you couldn't find an article written by someone who reached the second grade* as the link for something that is actually interesting.

Elected juries? That sounds like a world of hurt to me.
Elected executioners? I guess you could, but surely that's just a standard job - it's not like the executioner chooses whom to execute or anything.
Elected judges? Well some US states seem too - but pretty much everywhere else thinks that's a great way to produce a biased judiciary that makes popular decisions rather than correct decisions.
The average jobless American is not poor, they are abundantly wealthy. Did their child starve to death today due to them not having any food to feed to it? How many miles did they walk today to collect drinking water for their family?
Oh, and on the other part - I don't have a license let alone a car and yet I have a job in the US. And no I do not live or work in NYC (left there years ago).

And of course you have iron clad proof that bailing our Lehman Brothers would have made things better?
You have a time machine/parallel universe or something I take it?
Oh and by the way the worst of "the financial crisis" hasn't happened yet, that can has been kicked down the road some more.
No.
Banks failing isn't the problem.

Being dropped in the ocean would be even more ruinous for a kindle I suspect...
Maybe you could teach them to take care of their (and other people's) things?
What else would it be? We already have headlights. They already work.

Which part of the consitution do you think they should use claim that the Federal Government has been granted powers to do such things?
Maybe the government shouldn't tell you to copy your passport then:
make a note of the passport number and consider taking a photocopy with you

#. It shows the naysayers you can write a full OS kernel without C
Congrats you showed the empty set something. Since nobody with the two brain cells required to know the word kernel would claim C is required for one.
Given we had then before C existed - GM-NAA I/O in 1954 would be the obvious "before C" one.
And we had non-C ones after C existed - LISP machines being the obvious example there.

Obviously, but I wasn't the one suggesting time travel as more reasonable than using things the target has a history of already.
So what?
None of that has anything to do with which has better ergonomics.
