Maybe I'll be making $20 per hour until I'm 45 and unemployed thereafter, but at least I won't be like those damn factory workers getting paid $70k per year with a full pension!!
Keep in mind that this stuff doesn't just pop up out of nowhere. It requires workplace agitation and reaching out to coworkers to get things done. It's hard work, but if an electrician can make $60k and get an actual pension, then the sky is the limit for programmers (and sysadmins etc)
Just think of how powerful a computer programmer's union would be! When unskilled labor goes on strike with a weak union, they can still be fired and replaced. Even if a programmer's union is weak, computer programmers are hard to replace properly, even when supply is plentiful.
Which is why we haven't signed a peace treaty with them.
You think they'd spontaneously demobilize and ask for a treaty? They have to ask before anything happens. Since they get no answer, they keep on acting the same way they always have, just like the US and her puppets.
Trust isn't necessary to start. We've got enough surveillance to see if they've taken a peaceful stance before signing a treaty. If it works, trust will grow and perhaps the country will stop being so paranoid and abusive.
Certainly the current strategy isn't doing any good for anyone but the military.
If the USA would give the DPRK the peace treaty they've been wanting for years, it wouldn't be much of a problem. Of course, then we would have one fewer excuse to maintain a couple hundred military bases across the globe.
NX is a great cross-platform remote desktop application that runs over SSH. On Ubuntu, I just installed the sshd package and the NX packages from nomachine.com and it's usable for any ssh-able user account on the machine. Just open a port on your router and maybe get a domain for it and you're ready to go.
I did an experiment on a Core 2 Duo a couple years ago and found it to be only 5% as fast at doing a huge matrix multiply compared to a (then) top-of-the-line Nvidia. So, they're catching up pretty well.
That's worth noting for people who've been following this closely for a while.
I'd really like to see this result in Linux support for screen sharing. It works great on Mac and Windows, but the Linux Skype client is quite old and they don't seem to have much interest in developing for Linux besides making sure the packages can still install.
A little bit, but it's too big for me to type a post that can encompass it all.
The CIA has a long history of organizing all the terrible things that no president actually wants his name attached to. Basically if you're brown and live in a third world country you likely have been subjected to death squads, bribery, torture, or disinformation for the sake of assholes in Washington meeting their own goals. William Blum's Killing Hope can fill you in on the details.

There are millions of engineers in this country that aren't going around blowing stuff up and killing people.
Sure, but how many of them work for military contractors?
He probably works in a "dynamic, fast-paced environment"

We're spending too much and we need to stop.
Right on. Close all the overseas military bases.

Well yes that sounds nice but doesn't he miss the free market???

perhaps I should take a break from Alien Swarm...
Hitler also had a philosophy.
Check and mate.
Once again, introducing Heidegger makes the discussion incomprehensible.
No. Socialism is the state owning the means of production (and perhaps distributing the fruits of production to the workers).
Nanny state is probably what you're looking for.

You think North Korea has the engineering capability to pull something like that off?
Yes, people my age were all taught while growing up that one of the poorest countries on the planet is a terrifying threat to our very existence.
This would not take a load off public transport; it IS public transport!
the last time I looked cops were still human.
That's a very generous assumption you are making!
But in China nobody actually reads top to bottom anymore. What's more, they use the same punctuation marks and numbers that we do in general.

Have you invented a time travel device that allows you to post from 1955?
You...have to deal with their spies?
Well uhhhh
Actually it sounds like you're the one who is itching for a fight and projecting it onto a country you don't understand

Everything in the book is cited; most of it comes from things like the New York Times.
