someone should do the math, and calculate how many jobs we need to create in the U.S. to achieve 100% employment and outsource enough jobs to create those jobs. For example, if 8 million Americans are out of work, we should outsource 1 million American jobs (9 million jobs -- 1 million to fill the "outsourced", and the remaining jobless 8 million now have jobs).
That's obviously absurd. Do you really think the article means that outsourcing [i]causes[/i] job creation domestically? Or do you think that they are just stating the ratio to compare the trends?
There's no reason the law can't have an exception for manufacturers selling fewer than X vehicles per year. I would guess there is already such an exception.
Then they just spin off the SUV "divisions". Just tax the gas.
The CAFE approach seems to be the best one, but the govt doesn't have the guts to actually do it right. Set the total average fleet MPG requirement, ratchet it up.25 MPG per year, and tell the auto manufacturers that they have to meet it, no excuses. If they fall under, they have to stop selling all models with less economy than their target until they get back into balance.
So now it's effectively illegal to run a company that produces a specialty product. Complicated laws pay lawyers and have weird side effects no one expected down the road.
The Linux legal team could argue that since Microsoft has a right to view Linux code and raise legal concerns about it, then the Linux "team" (ie: open source community) must also have a right to view the Microsoft code, and scrutinize it heavily as well, for GPL infringements. Which code will have more infringements? Care to hazard a guess?
I'd bet a lot that there are no GPL violations in Microsoft code. They're pretty careful about that stuff. We sent them a tcpdump file capture once. They wouldn't use ethereal to read it, on account of legal concerns.
There is tons of excuses why they do, everything from "it runs better" to "I don't want MS peeking in my nono spot" to "my old programs won't run on the new systems"
Even now it's more about propperty then about love since the state doens't care if you love the one you marry.
Err, but I care. I don't really give a shit how the state views my marriage.
Personally, I think the state should stick to enforcing explicit contracts between people to combine their finances. The state really doesn't have any business sanctioning marriage, in my opinion.

One of the things I liked about the OT was that it didn't try to tell the whole story of the rebellion, it focused on the adventures of a few key characters. The civil war served as a backdrop, with the story threads winding in and out of it. So you end up with a grand universe that allows for many interesting stories to be told in the EU in parallel with the OT events.
I agree with your description of the first 2 prequels. The problem I had with those movies, is that there was no sense of history (the OT had allusions to the republic, clone wars, etc), the universe seemed revolve around the main characters. That is what made them so shallow, Lucas tried to handhold the story of the creation of the empire entirely through a handful of characters. The thrid prequel had more of that sense of "a grand universe" that was in the OT.
I've had exactly the same feeling. You've expressed it very well here.
The fungus you refer to is mentioned in this article, which ironically was linked to from a past Slashdot story. They just call it an enslaver fungus, they don't actually name the species they are referring to.
That's just part of the life cycle of this story. It makes zombies out of slashdot editors and makes them post stories about itself over and over.
On the other hand, it was driving those around me bonkers. I was either sleeping or going 100 miles an hour at various, and always changing, times of the day/night; so, they could not rely on me for help/conversation/etc unless they could fit it in a certain period.
So that's where they're installing man page now!. Thanks!
My mother regularly saves 30%~50% on groceries because she clips coupons and uses her frequent shopper card. She saves the reciepts to show me and everytime, I ask her when the supermarkets will just start giving her food for free.
She's not saving more than I am by going to the Low Bill or the Aldi and buying generics. The receipts only prove that she would've been screwed if she bought brand names at full price.
The principal disappointment with the film version of The Hulk was that it lacked the mythical gravitas, graceful action and ultimate spiritual reward of Ang Lee's previous masterpiece, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The film Hulk's oedipal and rage complexes were ham-fisted, and the action boringly brutish. In other words: Crouching Tiger was a better superhero story.
My principal dispapointment with the movie was the Hulk looked dumb and the pacing was bad.
As an Australian, I can say you're right about everything except the guns. If you're a private citizen and have a valid use for a rifle, it's just a matter of paperwork, always has been even before the buyback scheme. Which, by the way, was mostly about removing automatic weapons from the public - fair enough too; I highly doubt there's many legitimate reasons to fire hundreds of rounds per minute . . .
The legitimate reason is to overthrow the government should it become oppressive.

I don't do drugs. I've never played EQ or WoW. I haven't had a drink in years.
I just think your post is silly.
When you replace your post with "I am a wanker", it seems less insightful, too.
They don't mean execution speed. They mean the speed at which Microsoft makes new releases.
I'd bet a lot that there are no GPL violations in Microsoft code. They're pretty careful about that stuff. We sent them a tcpdump file capture once. They wouldn't use ethereal to read it, on account of legal concerns.
Is it possible that your idea of typical is colored by your graduate school being superior to your undergraduate school?
So the proper contrast is big lectures versus small ones.
I don't know if you're being serious or not here. Good CS and engineering classes don't work like that. The ones that did I skipped and read the book.
Those sound like good reasons to me.
So porn is OK, but pornographers making money is bad? Why is that again?

You work for FT?
They aren't calling for a ban. They think the game is a bad thing and want to discourage parents from allowing their children to play.
Ban means "to prohibit especially by legal means" (Merriam-Webster).
They're exercising a free speech right, not trying to infringe on others'.
I've had exactly the same feeling. You've expressed it very well here.

My gut feel is that we're wasting far more on watering lawns. People are literally just spraying water out onto the ground. Anybody know the numbers?
