The guy that pulls the trigger is the assassin. With a volunteer military, 'just following orders' doesn't hold water with me, even when I don't care for the idiots making the orders.
Of course we all know how well supporting the Taliban worked out for the US in the end.
In the 'end'? What 'end'? When you're in the war business, I would say it's working out pretty well. With no end in sight, it can only mean more profit.
How's that? It's the government that pays for Blackwater's services. And if we want to discuss 'cowardly', let's talk about the drone pilots who risk nothing at all except a possible reprimand. They work for the government with even greater secrecy. Accountability means nothing when nobody holds them up to it. We have precisely the same power over Blackwater as we do the government
The Roman Empire hasn't gone anywhere. Like Blackwater, they just 'reorganized'. And it really makes no difference whether your hired assassins wear a corporate logo or a national flag on their sleeves
Hardly... The Zuckerbergs are marketing trolls who know how to get lots of free advertising with this kind of media attention. I would call it very astute. Everybody 'hates' Facebook, but the numbers tell a completely different story. Just like American politics, congress has less than 20% approval rating, and 95% of them get reelected. Who are the stupid ones?
Starving homeless people caught in the crossfire of mercenary warfare are not ever going to give a shit about patents, or their trolls. And to them, the people who do give a damn look mighty silly right now
Transmission of documents via telephone wires is possible in principle, but the apparatus required is so expensive that it will never become a practical proposition. - Dennis Gabor, British physicist and author of Inventing the Future, 1962.
The ordinary 'horseless carriage' is at present a luxury for the wealthy; and although its price will probably fall in the future, it will never, of course, come into as common use as the bicycle. - Literary Digest, 1899.
Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical (sic) and insignificant, if not utterly impossible. - Simon Newcomb
While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility, a development of which we need waste little time dreaming. - Lee De Forest, American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube, 1926.
You incessantly babble on about something as relevant as Justin Bieber's boxer shorts when, quite simply, the mafiosobanks made you an offer you can't refuse

But, in a way, that's true. Debts don't matter.. as long as the slaves keep the faith, this can go on indefinitely. The economy is a religion that believes in a non-existent.. 'thing' that needs to be wound up like a clock.
The expression of my opinion of the 'greater good' is not safe for work or something a child should see. I've seen the unmitigated suffering it causes, so I'll leave it at that. and don't confuse apathy with poverty. When I have extra cash to throw away on toys, I might reconsider your position
Read his post again. He's most definitely 'suggesting' that I go out and buy Windows 7. He didn't say 'update'. He said 'upgrade', and that shit ain't free. The suggestion is bogus. I'm not going to spend money where I don't need to, or don't have.
Yeah, since you're so adamant, why don't you cough up the 200 dollars or whatever it takes for me to upgrade? You know, maybe I don't feel like running on that treadmill. My old system runs perfectly fine.

No doubt they will pass the savings onto us... And iPads will be cheaper than a bushel of wheat, even if they are a bit crunchy
Ze plane! Ze plane!
"...this alpha board is expected to be almost the same...we don’t know a release date as of yet..."
Yeah yeah, pull the other one.. My doubts will disappear when I seen the thing on the shelf, and at 25 dollars
So, now I can actually pay to watch a movie on my giant 4 inch screen? Better be at least 2K video... uncompressed
MoneyPak? Hey Slashdot! Can I renew my subscription with that? If not, why not?
