There's a hundred little Hitlers squeezing out of every crack In that shattered hulk that you once held to be Liberty's shining pride Dead American imagination, cranking out tacky imitation fascism But there's no center to it - What's a Fatherland without any Father? A Homeland no one has ever been at home in? Just say goodbye. History's brief attention has aready wandered away from you, the could-have-been who never was. As they say, it's all over but the shouting - and the cursing in darkness.
I'll be goddamned if you are guaranteed a job, because your uncle decided to run for office.;-)
BTW: I find your response most effective, when I imagine it narrated by Stephen Fry. In fact, it becomes almost deightful to read! I should try the same thought-experiment with the Linux LVM HOWTO.
1. Nationalize our communication systems. Telephony, cable TV, and data transmission need to become the people's. If we stopped sending a great deal of our money into the coffers of a few corporations that have so much cash that they continue to expand their control, we would have more money for other things like education. If France can offer the big three communication needs (phone, internet, and television) for a fee roughly 1/3 of what we are paying, we should follow their example.
2. Immediately institute regulations on the amount of interest that can be charged on credit accounts. Make it the prime rate plus 10-20% - enough to make them money but not so much as to continue to fleece the population.
3. Regulate severely or nationalize the use of debit cards and force businesses to discount for cash commensurate with the fees that they are paying for using these electronic transfers.
4. Separate the banks from speculation and traditional banking. By allowing our banks to become addicted to gambling they are no longer serving the public's interest but theirs.
5. Immediately institute a transaction tax of less than 1% on each transaction. The only effect that people would ever see is when they sell a stock and have to pay this fee out of their proceeds. What this would do is stop the manipulation that major players in the market can perform to bleed money out of the system.
6. Immediately cease the speculative trading of commodities. As I have often stated if you want to buy oil or grains then you must have the facilities to actually accept delivery of such commodities. If you cannot then you have no business in this market.
7. Immediately treat all income the same whether from salaries or capital gains: treat everyone the same as far as the taxes in our society are concern. Let them contribute to the social security and medicare systems as well pay their fair share of the burdens we all should share for living in a modern society.
8. Break up the media conglomerates. There is no reason that all of our news should be filtered through corporations like Disney or Rupert Murdoch's Media Empire.
9. Treat our trading partners in exactly the way we are treated. Japan can export as many automobiles as we can sell in Japan. China the same. As is stands now all this type of trade is doing is stealing bread off our tables.
10 Stop the damned revolving door that spins riches to those who worked in government service regulating the same industries that enrich them. Forbid anyone working in a senior position in government from working for a private firm in the same area for a period of time no less than five years and have this same restriction apply to family members.
It's beginning to worry me. Who's all the captital behind this effort? I mean, Better Privacy and AdBlock are pretty grass-roots, got a bee-in-a-bonnet based efforts.

"Mr. Kenge," said Allan, appearing enlightened all in a moment. "Excuse me, our time presses. Do I understand that the whole estate is found to have been absorbed in costs?" "Hem! I believe so," returned Mr. Kenge. "Mr. Vholes, what do YOU say?" "I believe so," said Mr. Vholes. "And that thus the suit lapses and melts away?" "Probably," returned Mr. Kenge. "Mr. Vholes?" "Probably," said Mr. Vholes.
Just twisted to support the usual right-wing scare agenda.
By and large, what this story boils down to is that a low-income child whose tuition is fully subsidized by the state under a program her mother opted into was offered some additional food to supplement the boxed lunch she brought from home. This option was provided not because of some overarching, generally applicable law or regulation, but because the program in which her mother and school voluntarily participate requires such an option be available. http://ordinary-gentlemen.com/blog/2012/02/15/a-north-carolina-non-troversy/

You have consonantal ambiguity. I can't figure if you are nostalgic or nasty logic....
Religion is a spiritual crutch for people who can't handle God.

It was easy. I just took the 1995 hype about Netscape Navigator as an application platform, and changed the names.
I got the idea after watching the Java guys do this, in 1996.
This happens all the time. I wouldn't wonder if US TLA's were involved.

Oh. Me, too. Between crashes. :-)
I liked that Rob ported his applets to E. DR .09 and .13 were the big ones, right?
Raster's vintage televisions, with animated luxo-lamps for the desktop selector were a high-point.
I was happy when I got this to compile and run on Solaris 7... I think it meant a million dependencies built for GNU tools and XFree libs.
Come for WindowMaker, stay for the Duck Pins.
I think that I first came to "Chips & Dips" in '96 or so, looking for Rob Malda's DockApps - and his Window Maker news.
And I did not speak out --
Because I was not a "Terrorist".
Then they came for the operators of file-sharing sites, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not the operator of a file-sharing-site.
Then they came for the blog-posters, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a blog-poster.
Then they came for me --
And there was no one left to speak for me.
Who cares who's doing it. Let's all just hope it's barely the beginning and never stops.
By '77 we already had Spacewars. Space Invaders was a year away.
You know,
I would be totally cool wit the idea of re-setting the entire planet to, like, 1977.
Just like the "US Cybercommand".
