``Hey boy, hey boy! Ya look mighty cute in them jeans. Now come on over here... and f*** me up the ass! C'mon. I'm gonna bend over now. Grrr! Aaahh! Hey, boy, slow down, you're gonna mess around and cum too fast. You'll make me get mad and I'll clench up my butt cheeks and rip your dick off!'' --Eddy Murphy Delirious, 1983
Holy bats***! I didn't know Terraforming was part of the exam? Granted I've never heard of doing so on just a single tree. It must be some newfangled kind of tree.--/endOfSarcasm
What the hell does it take to get an inexpensive HDTV and HD content for the general masses? Holy Shit! The FCC keeps letting the Device Manufacturers to keep selling modified devices until they've raped the entire populous before we even see a freakin' finish to this crap!
1999 saw 1080p devices pumping the NASA shuttle launch at your local Magnolia Hifi Store. Now the entire switchover is going to take 13 years? This FCC makes my ass ache. Progress at a snails pace. This isn't being prudent. This is about raping the masses. By 2012 the HDTV you bought today won't even be supported.
You have a Cupboard before you. You are at armslength (your hands are close together with each one holding a cupboard door handle) from the cupboard doors. As you open the doors your arms extend to the left and right and you step forward to look inside the cupboard and at the contents of what lies within.
You don't close a cupboard and get closer to it. You pull away and your arms return to their closed door position.
And it is here in the US Senate that concerns with this first-to-file, regardless of intent to ever invent, versus first-to-invent will have conditions set on it to make such a valid patent.
We all know the patent system is broken with the dawning of the Information Age. However, this first-to-file, on the surface, doesn't appear to keep companies from filing frivolous patents with no intention of ever producing an invention.
The patent system should be set to promote diverse competition and may the winner best their competition through competition and not anti-competitive legal maneuvers.
Perhaps the Linux ABI developers should coordinate with 3rd Party OEMs more closely to keep them abreast of any dev changes that would break their driver processes. It's a two-way street.
If you're referring to Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan as the best movie from a single episode it still required the original cast.
Of course, I dug the crap out of NextGenron as we called it. Great cast and crew.
The fact Vulcans can live several centuries makes it quite easy for TNG crew or an amalgamation of TNG and beyond to be in a new Star Trek motion picture with Leonard Nimoy.

What you described in not a truly Free Market, as in Pure Competition. You are showing that a regionally sanctioned Monopoly is still a Monopoly just not over the entire country.
It's analogous to each US State having their own single controller over basic services. You will find people proclaiming that there is no Monopoly. They list 50 different companies, yet will quickly change subject when they are challenged on the fact that a real Capitalist system would demand/require that all 50 competitors have equal access to all 50 states.
When that happens, and fails then I'll be willing to work on a more advanced open system that has safeguards from a government point-of-view.
Since we don't have any sort of real Capitalist system in the world we should stop the age old war of Capitalism vs. Socialism.
I'm personally sick of the fact that I've got only 1 cable company to choose from [Comcast] and only 2 major Satellite companies [DirecTV and DISH] to choose from where I get my digital media.
I'll not be impressed until there are at least 10 competitors in the region to fight for my money.
This goes for the auto industry, telecom industry, and any other industry that isn't the regulated like one's local PUD.
I've got one major telco to work with that isn't a cable provider: QWEST.
Ma Bell was broken up into 12 Regional Monopolies.
Reagan blew it and that's no surprise.
Ma Bell should have been broken up into 12 companies independently competing with each other and other new vendors across the U.S. Unfortunately, they decided to subdivide the backbone of the existing hard trunk by region and didn't invest into making a generic backbone with vendors running their own services to the trunk to then work across the entire backbone.
Services should separate the vendor, not the total fiber layed.
People would rather talk about being a Capitalist Republic instead of demanding one.
Just hire those with the degrees who are not presently working in these fields because companies aren't hiring us. They'd rather pay contractors from other countries.
But in my spare time I play as an Aerospace Engineer. I don't give a rusty f*** if he wrote a billion lines of code, nothing replaces having the degree and masters field of Mechanical Engineering that is Aerospace.
... are enticed through compensation then perhaps we'll see our kids be taught by someone who hasn't accomplished an Ed degree with an emphasis in this or that.

Libertarians should love the idea that the Government opens up the markets and stops allowing oligopolies from lobbying and controlling a pseudo-Capitalist system.
The problem is that most people can't see the forrest for the trees and the notion of government intervention in the past has often shown to be a smokescreen for power hungry market leaders to use the government as a shield to protect their dominance.
The government should be a standards organization that strikes harshly at those that attempt to bar competition and pay off the legislature to keep the status quo.
I'm a Libertarian who argues with many libertarians for being black n' white on issues without having vision for reshaping the landscape that any person with enough clarification would endorse.
Many libertarians seem to think small government means no government and any hint of government is Evil. The damn government should be a watchdog for the citizenry and make sure they get a real market that dozens of players fight for your services, not just a half dozen players who map out regions of the country to be dominant in, by barring new competitors that weren't at the brokerage table with the other five.
We should have a national/regional, modular power grid that is a joint venture between private enterprise and government. The problem is that the lowest bidder/highest cost due to maintenance contractors, with the present business rules, would stagnate the vision and cost a country wide waste in resources. People would rather use that as a bumper sticker of failure to avoid doing it and any national project correctly--choose the lowest maintenance (high maintenance solutions always being the highest long term drain on finances) and highest upfront cost investment(Efficient solutions are the most costly upfront but the cheapest to maintain in the long-term) solution to provide long-term job growth and rollout private services companies to manage the development of the solutions with high, strict government requirements making the investment worth it. Such major projects would create regional new private corporations to manage these services and to keep them efficient and secure, while adhering to a government focused on strict standards and not pandering to the behemoth of lobbyists and their corporate self-interests.
We don't see such examples of engineering and business being developed because people lobby and paint the idea with political demagoguery of ancient relics by proclaiming such visions as communistic, socialistic or downright non-American.
What was once considered non-American was slacking on quality and standards by producing substandard solutions for the country. We now have way too many chiefs in government and way too many non-chiefs to keep pushing paperwork for the two party Juggernaut in the U.S. Right now, both the Dems and the Reps wouldn't do the honor of a reach around while they screw you, yet the demoralized majority keeps offering lube to make the ease of this reaming less painful.
Vision is party agnostic. The Libertarians need to have more vision focused at the local level to make an immediate impact before they even think of hitting the big leagues and cleaning up Congress.
