Check your pants, do you have an erection after saying that? If not then there is something wrong with you. Yes, even if you're female. Really that's FLYING HUMVEES!!!!
The creators of h.264 spent millions of $CURRENCY patenting those "some algorithms" you speak of. It's not exactly strange to imagine they'd like some compensation for their work.
-Get in there I don't care what you smell -you came in that thing? You're braver than I thought. -negative it didn't go in, just impacted on the surface.
If only that were possible, instead we'll just all be labeled terrists and have big brother watching our every move with wonderful ideas like cameras everywhere and government sponsored health monitoring. I can't wait until I can't do anything but eat sleep and work under the watchful eye of our new democracy.
Except they have been continuously doing more and more things and things only seem to get worse and worse. History disagrees with you my friend. The more a government is allowed to do, the more it will do. Just because the Democrats are in charge and want to give us healthcare, when the Republicans take over again they'll use that to gain control over everyone. Perhaps DNA testing to find terrorists or what ever great idea they come up with. Continue to push government growth for good means that growth will be used for evil.
Unlike Slashdot where everyone agrees 100% with everyone else, the republican party is made up of many individuals with differing opinions, and those opinions sometimes conflict with each other.
Sorry, the government doesn't share, it forcefully takes from one person and gives to another. Perhaps we could just change bank robbery to your form of sharing. Of course the government seems to be backing bank robbery for the bank execs these days as well.
If it were only 100 people I would have gone. The line was 6 hours long and included about 3500 people. I went to the bar in the convention instead. That really was the highlight of Star Wars Celebration V.
Could see it now, takes mask off, "Ohh wait, I couldn't see or hear a thing in this helmet, who the hell are you? I was once known as Anakin Calrissian. Is that what you were saying?"
All this seems fine to me. Put basic limits on the government then let politicians work within those. If the evil republican tries the tax the poor and it works out well then there's nothing wrong with that, if it works out poorly then it will be noticed. Same when the commie gets elected, if his policies work out then we all benefit if not we move on to the next.
I'd rather have a 66% required to pass laws, all laws have a sunset clause exponentially longer every time it is passed (1yr, 2yr, 4yr, 8yr, 16yr etc...) and to pass from a sunset vote it requires 75% acceptance due to being in action due to the benefits should be obvious.
There's already a "Progressive" political term and it is synonymous with exactly the opposite of what you propose. Current government progress seems to be about passing as many bills and laws as possible.

Say this out loud:
"FLYING HUMVEES."

My favorite pickup line, "I may not be good, but at least I'm fast."
It doesn't work very well but it does test for sense of humor.
You missed the later parts

really only saw one that didn't look well above average even for the non-geek crowd. And that one was just a little old and beginning to get wrinkly.

Republicans agree on the wrong way forward.
Democrats can't agree on the right way forward.
Reality shows that government shouldn't move much at all and they both have it wrong.

And of course the other party is exactly the opposite. (bad PCP cut with a walloping dose of cocaine)
Instead of recycled glass I'm just going to use my SUV and slowly suffocate/overheat my neighbors.
Funny how it works out the same.
Ohh, better than what I got out of it being Half a milliong $$ going to R2-R5 (R2-D2's brother)

It was all in the leaked documents, now they cant do this any more.

Or,
Monkeys exhibit the same economic irrationality as the US.

Why not?
When our options seem to be "Grow government" or "Grow government quickly." I don't see it as having much of a choice at all.
I'm just a ______
Yes, I'm ____ a ___.
And I'm _______ here on _______ ____.
But if it said "The government shall not collect more than 20% of the countries GDP in Taxes." It would be clear short and understandable.

Exactly, and when hybrids become the norm and the ultra trendy becomes something much more efficient than we all would have won.
