I think you are quite ignorant of Libertarian philosophy.We advocate a return to Constitutional government, not lawless anarchy as you imply. OIf course if you are a left wing or right wing, such a return would scare the shit out of you, as there would be no more BS taxes taken from people with the threat of death or imprisonment, and the votes would stop rolling in because you could not promise the "people" anything. I spent 45 minutes carrying on a conversation with the Libertarian candidate for governor in NC this past election cycle. When as the last time you did that with a republican or democratic candidate? The last time I spoke with a candidate for the House of representatives, a republican, I got about 30 seconds. fact is that Libertarian policy requires people to be responsible for themselves, and take ownership of their decisions, good or bad, and that scares the shit out of the left wing and right wing, because with that, they are unable to scare, threaten and bribe the "people" into voting for them. But YMMV, and good luck with you in the upcoming freefall of the US dollar, as inflation and hyper-inflation is right around the corner. And if you doubt that, look at the market data for annuities, it is enough to make you wish you owned gold.
I don't buy into the whole ecology BS. But my 1991 Jetta is a piece of engineering magic. Still runs fine, gets good mileage, and is rust free. Burns a little oil and needs the head gasket replaced, and the body shows the assorted dings and nicks that a 19 year old car will get. I look forward to driving it 15 years from now, as If anything goes out, it is easily and cheaply replaced or repaired.
Lol, ccleaner, ace utilities, secure disk eraser, consistent defrag and rewrites, and a complete format of HDs at least every three months. can not do anything about ISP logs, but mine stay plenty clean.
What police can do is much different than what private citizens can do and what is admissible if found by a citizen will often not be admissible if found by a cop. That is to prevent abuse of police power, which IMNSHO, is a very good thing. If you invite me into your house and I look in your closet and see the pot growing rig, you can be sent to jail, fined whatever. However if a cop comes into you house upon your invitation, he can not legally look through your stuff, it has to be in plain sight. And for the record, if you have child porn and are stupid enough to take the computer to a tech service to be fixed outside your direct observation, then you are an idiot and need to be locked up for your own safety, much less that of the children.
I would not make a machine like this, nor do i think it is a economic based thing. It is art, pure and simple. I thought it was neat, and pretty interesting, but it does not compare to a good painting or killer song. YMMV.
I fucking despise cats with a passion not unlike that of fundies hatred of homosexuals. Saying that, i also believe any scumbag fucker that would torture or needlessly kill a cat should be given over to whatever psycho-sexual torture killer on the local death row to use as an unwilling victim as a reward for said psycho killer's good behavior. That kind of behavior, IMNSHO, is disgusting and perverted. It outrages me far more than crimes against people, as people at least have the theoretical ability to protect themselves. Cats and dogs have been specifically bred to consider humans as "safe".
When I ran an HVAC/R company, I did not charge for emergency (after hours) calls, unlike every other company in town did. And my logic was very simple. When I advertise an after hours service and set a price for the service, I am saying I am willing to come (or send a tech) at any time and fix your HVAC/R problem. I never liked working after hours when i worked for other companies, and never knew a tech that liked it either.So with my business, there would be no charge for emergency calls. That way I got to define what was an emergency, not the customer. Probably lost a customer or two over the years, but the customers I gained and kept from this policy more than made up for those losses. Nothing like a customer who you just fixed their equipment at 2AM on a Sunday morning and charged them the same if it had been 9AM on Monday morning. It engendered a lot of customer loyalty and referrals.
Then why are you doing it? I worked in a field where I had to go to the job site, wherever it may be, and work on the equipment until it was fixed, no matter what day or what time it was. And the requirement for me to do such work was that I got paid for it. No money, no workey.
Lol.The same people that want to ban this game are perfectly OK with games rated for 13 year olds that involve killing as many other people as possible.
That is pretty much my take on the whole downloading stuff. When i download a song or a movie that has been shown on TV or played on the radio who am I harming? Where is the loss? I could legally copy the song or movie when it was broadcast over the air. And it would have been perfectly legal to do so. So why is downloading it illegal?
Lol, these are people who will strap platic explosives to their body and then pull the detonator. What's a little radiation poison before they die? Hell, I ain't no engineer, but give me a bomb and some radioactive material and I got enough sense to pack it around the bomb then explode it.
Grow balls, learn the word "No.". Why should you have to supply a computer for your classmates? Do you let them borrow your car? How about your clothes? Do they get to test drive your girlfriend too? Fuck them and learn to say no, you'll will find it a useful word in the future.
Oh, the same nuclear energy is bad fucking shit as usual. How about the idea of storing energy for nights and rainy days? That requires batteries, a prime example of nasty, dangerous lead being used to make said batteries. Like a poster above stated, environmental whackos are anti-tech and won't be happy until the standard of living for Americans is the same as people in sub-Saharan Africa.There is this idea that anything man does alters the environment, so something is going to change. Raising water temp is a lot less damaging than spraying ash and carbon into the atmosphere, and pipe dreams about solar/fusion/fairy farts is not the answer. We have fossil fuels and we have nukes which are available right now. Pick one and STFU about the rest as you have nothing useful to say except screaming like chicken little that the sky is falling.

Fuck, where are my mod points so I can mod you up +5 or so for telling the fucking truth.
there are some of us down here that don't believe in the invisible sky wizard. Don't write us all off cowboy.
Mod your post up to at least +10. Yeah, I don't give a fuck about karma.

I normally don't respond to ACs, but my gawd, Bush the first's wife Barbara was ugly as hell, even with an age adjustment.

This is /., where we don't RTFS, much less TFA.
Reason on /.? Good gawd, someone mod this poster into oblivion.
I think of anorexic porn when reading your post. Seen some once and it was creepy and gross, but don't believe that it should be banned.
NAMBLA is against the game unless the makers will make boy rape version.

Think there will be another Tunguska explosion? I hope so, as long as it is not near any territory that owns ICBMs.
And that would be different from the present state of nuclear power plant building how?
Actually with Cheney, I wanted a wooden stake through his heart, beheaded and buried face down in the middle of a cross road. Just to be sure.
