World War Two reshaped the U.S.A into a world class military power and wholesaler of tools of death.
War is incredibly profitable and the U.S.A. is the number one producer of arms on the planet. All wars are good for the stock holders. And now the D.O.D is fond of privatizing processes that were once its purvue. Halliburton and Blackwater have made a small number of individuals a lot of money doing things that used to be done by the military. Vietnam was pointless but it sold a shit ton of agent orange and naplam. As long as you like your "Dancing with the Stars", "Knight Rider" or "All in the Family" and don't pay attention to the slaughter of innocents in the name of money, you will be too satisfied to examine your culpability in the murder of children. Innocent children absolutely die from the actions of soilders from the U.S.A. I have little doubt you haven't already considered this and rationalized it as being a necessary evil. That makes you a willing piece of the larger killing machine (the military-industrial complex) and you don't consider yourself evil, do you?
It isn't evil, sir. It is greed and ignorance. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
You might consider checking your math. If 9 million is 1/300th of the population of the U.SA., then that would compute to 2.7 billion people. I do not think 2.7 billion is an accurate assessment of the population of the U.S.A.
Then again, you might consider tea over coffee, instead. I will leave these decision decision up to you.
My apologies if my understanding of their method is incorrect. My problem with their method (as I understood it) is that a person making low bets counted the cards and then called in a high roller when they knew the deck was stacked in the player's favor. That is not simply counting cards (which I whole-heartedly support), that is counting cards and then relaying that information to an accomplice that has been exposed to zero risk in the accumulation of the data (zero risk because they were not betting). It is the relaying the accumulated data to an accomplice that is unehtical. But gambling itself is a immoral enterprise that involves fooling fools for profit.

Everyone know that there are no extra-solar AI which use numbering systems with a digit count lower than 427.
Hence this excitement when AI's hits their 182,329 birthday. That is represented at their 100th birthday in their smallest base number system, you see.
<sarcasm> I know! Why not do it yourself?!?! Take fuel for instance. All the companies that buy gas and diesel for their vehicles instead of drilling their own oil, refining it and transporting the refined fuel to their vehicle fleets themselves are just lazy. And those lazy jerks won't even cut down the tress and make paper themselves. Those punks go and buy paper made by someone else to stick in their printers. </sarcasm>
I am not IT. I am a developer. I used to be IT and still get tapped as my employer is an adversting firm and IT is stretched so thin you can see through them (I am so glad to be out of IT, even if I still do the work when the office manager knocks on my door).
This is the issue the office manager had with his Windows 7 Pro laptop from a huge PC manufacturer (one of the 5 largest): When he tried to copy files from the network share to his local drive the machine locked up. It didn't lock up with file copies from the NAS but it did with copies from the Windows 2003 Server fileserver. Try to copy and the laptop froze. Locked up hard. Stopped responding to network pings. Wouldn't respond to keyboard or mouse. No blue screen, just frozen. Nothing in the system logs. Died and died hard.
The problem turned out to be that the network card was set to auto-detect the network speed. Despite the switch being 100Mbps, the gigabit card in the laptop was auto-detecting 1Gbps. Yes, we are still on 100Mbps in the office. Did I mention IT doesn't get the funding it should? I digress. Network file coping worked fine for every server but that one Windows 2003 fileserver. Browsing the share worked. You could look at any directory (sorry - it's folder for Window's isn't it). Pardon, me. You could look into any folder but the second you tried to copy a file Windows shit itself.
The fix? Manually set the network card speed to 100Mbps and "voila"! It worked. Fucking Windows. The day I no longer have to trouble-shoot the black-box, no-log-info, application-has-no-debug-mode, god-only-knows-why-it-won't-run Windows will be a day I will celibrate with wild abandon.
One last question: Why is the only video that Power Point will play without issue MPEG-1? Not WMV. Not MPEG-2. Just MPEG-1. And this is office 2007 I am talking about. Why won't it play video formats any newer than 1995? Having been paid to support Microsoft software, I have learned to hate said software with a passion normally reserved for bad drivers.
I have zero sound problems with Linux. I have no less than 4 Linux desktops (4 separate computers) that I use and I have never had a sound problem with any of them, ever. But, I also do not use Ubuntu.
I believe the "side" to which you are referring is the financial side, not the science side. You, madame or sir, are free to find your own funding and do this work at your own expense. Science isn't stopping you. Money is. Please do not confuse the ideals of a cut-throat, capitalist society with the ideals of science. The two schools of thought are often irreconcilable even as they co-exist. But paradoxes are abundant in both science and society.
Hippie is a term used out of context by capitalist mass media to pidgeon hole a group of dissidents. Besides, everyone knows that you burn yuppies not hippies. And when the fire is really good and hot you put the lawyers, bankers and politicians into the boiling water. Not to eat, of course, but for good, old-fashioned, family entertainment.
I like gaming. The Wii lacks the content I, as a gamer, require. So, that leaves the PC, PS3 or 360 as choices. Two of those choices equate to supporting Microsoft. In summary, I have these three options: not game, support Sony or support Microsoft. I find the moral short-comings of Microsoft several orders of magniture more distasteful than the moral short-comings Sony. And I truly adore some of the exclusive content on the PS3.
There is no "Starship Troopers" movie based on Heinlein's novel, it is simply a film that shares the same name. Did you both, read the book by that title and, also, see the film with that title? If you had, you would have no doubt that the film had nothing, not one fucking thing, to do with the book. I think we should also mention a little film called "Minority Report" that butchered the plot of Dick's short story so badly that (and this is a real peach here) there is NO FUCKING MINORITY REPORT IN THE MOVIE! Please stop being a consumer of video entertainment. I don't need to watch more crap produced in an attempt to cater to your lack of taste. Along those lines, please stop buying books and music as well. If you want to buy quilts, I will allow it with a pre-approval form filled out in triplicate. Consider this an official notice of revocation of your media consumer privileges. * AND YOUR NERD CARD IS FORMALLY REVOKED *
You do know that the images are already compressed, right?

I believe that homosexual men are inherently more masculine than straight men. What could be less masculine than women? How on earth does kissing a girl make one manly? Manly men choose men for kissing. Any other sex chosen for kissing would be so, how should I put it . . . girly?
So, what is preventing society form seeing homosexuality as masculine? The answer, in a word, is "tradition".
So much of sociological gender identity is shaped by tradition and not by real biological or rational forces. Tradition is the holding of continuity for the sake of continuity. Upholding one principle as the most important makes all other principles secondary. Making tradition the primary principle (protecting traditional marriage for instance) put principles like rationality and compassion in a position of lesser importance in relation to traditionalism.
But as long as we behave like the hive species we have become, as opposed to the small, close-knit community of individuals we were ten or twenty milenia ago, we will continue to hold on to tradition if for no other reason than the safety of herd. Meaning that the individual knows there is protection to be found in adopting the well known traditions of the environmental society and, therefore, traditionalism is an obvious choice for one wanting to play it safe.
Luckily we are evolving . . . luckily there are rational (and irrational) humans pushing human evolution outside the saftey zone of tradition.
tl;dr? -> Tradition is for sheep not humans. The more eccentric individuals a society has in its make-up, the healhier it is. Biodiversity within a sociological ecosystem opposed to biological one.
I have a Nokia N900. Unlocked phone, no rooting needed. I can only get service from one of two providers in my area. T-Mobile or AT&T as the N900 needs a SIM card and Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular do not offer them, only T-Mobile and AT&T. The cost of an unlimited plan from AT&T (voice, text, data) is $120 a month. From T-Moblie it is $70. Which do you think I chose? What choice will I have tomorrow? I am afraid the answer to that is a choice between $120 and $120.
So, you do horrible things that we just don't know about because we are not watching you closely enough and you think Microsoft ethical because "they came out with some good products". If you are "an awful, dispicable person" and you like Microsoft, maybe I would be correct if I posited that you and Microsoft are just two, scumbag peas in a pod. Maybe?
Would that be a good assumption to make or a bad one?
You think ignoring news about continued Microsoft malfeasance because you like the pretty Aero interface on Vista should be called "being informed" and reading the news about continuous illegal behavior by Microsoft should be called "being a conspiracy theorist"?
Motherfucker, tell me you are trolling!
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Microsoft is ethical.
PopeRatzo, your English is clear, coherent and gramatically correct. I find your writing easy to understand (while not being simplistic) and I believe your points are delivered effectively. It seems that you care about the communication you are making and you do so adeptly.
Please continue this behavior, if you would be so kind, as it gives me faith that all is not lost. You see, on most days, I feel like Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" and want to sing:
Why don't the Americans teach their children how to speak?
. . . or write, in the case of monkyyy. You are not picking on that person. The post you responded to really was atrociously bad writting and I was about to respond myself to it myself. However, you took care of that for me. Thank you, sir.
By employers, do you mean rich executives with multi-million dollar homes, vacation homes, more cars that I have digits and really big boats?
You are right! Those good old boys work damn hard for their exteme wealth. How dare we, the relatively weak, the relatively poor, organize to make sure the wealthy do not divide us and exploit us.
I mean it isn't like there is a history of employers abusing workers in the USA.
Good god-damn, do not get me started about 19th and 20th century abuses world wide. The industrial revolution has been a violent battle ground for the poor trying to make a living in a world owned by a minority. The minorty holds the vast bulk of the wealth while the majority pays rent to them just to have a place to sleep without being arrested for loitering.
Remind me again why you are kissing the ass of the rich?
I remember. You think you will get a big pile of money by cheerleading capitalism. Here is a interesting idea; let me know what you think:
Insteading designing economic systems built on the idea of unending growth (despite the limited nature of Earth) where the money forms pools around corporations and big pools have leverage to control smaller pools, what if instead we designed economic systems that ecourage money to flow and spread to areas where it best supported society as a whole and not indivials. What if the natural tendency of money was to diffuse and not to coalesce? But you believe this is impossible don't you? You have been taught to attack this concept as naive, haven't you?
But, if I have you pegged right, you are the kind of guy that really wants a shiny car and a big house you can only use 1/4 of even when your whole family is home. Right and wrong don't matter because your are from the USA and everyone there knows unchecked capitalism is good for everyone. And you cannot get that sort of extreme wealth without someboy else doing shit work (assembling your iPhone) being paid next to nothing so your company (like Apple) can see the profit. See how that works? They work hard, and die for you. Fuck yes! That rocks for you. You pay them shit and all the profit is yours. You don't get rich paying workers a living wage, now do you? Fuck the little guy! You need a BIG car, and a BIG house. And as the poor guy in on the other side of the planet you don't even need to see the poverty that helps to fill your wallet because he is in China. WIN-WIN!
How does it feel to know that every computer use policy you have ever written has been broken by every employee that has ever been expected to follow it?
I have never seen an employee with a computer not use it for personal things.
In Iowa, T-Mobile is called I-Wireless. Their customer service is scary good.
I cannot quite express this. Their customer service (phone) is so good it scares me. Something doesn't seem quite right and it unnerves me.
No sales pressure at all was expressed. The people on the phone were knowledgable, eager to talk and did not seem in a rush to get to their next call. It was as if their job was to assist and inform me and not to meet arbitrary sales, call count and call time statistics.
It was as if I had walked through the looking glass into a world that, heaven forbid, a world that MADE SENSE!
It was bizarre and unexpected, but I kinda liked it.
Don't click on the sig link of "Third Position". That shit is worse that goatse . . .
There is only one race. We call that race "Earthlings".
Grasshoppers, tigers, you and I, all of us, share a common fate, a common home. All of our survivals are intertwined.
When you start looking at yourself as seperate and express a will to put your group above the rest, you have become the enemy of the rest of the world.
My money is on the rest of us and I beg you to reconsider your position on this issue of "race".
