It's about optimizing your workflow. Make the applications you actually use accessible through the hotkeys that make sense to you. Use the focus model that you have to think about the least. Force file dialogs to "detailed" as one dimensional lists are quicker to look through than 2d tables.
Try building a desktop yourself sometime. Start with a bare bones window manager and try doing some work. Every time you think you need a feature, add it yourself in the most convenient possible way for you. The time you spend doing this pays off as before long you'll have an interface that does everything you want to do, and you know everything that it does.
Yes increasing taxes on higher income individuals will stimulate the economy. If they take home less money, to maintain their standard of living they will have to earn more by growing their business.
Also, when the taxes are redistributed to the lower classes they will just turn around and spend it and it will end up right back in the pockets of the wealthy. Wealth accumulates upward, and we need redistribution to keep the pump primed.
The implicit assumption for those who support high income tax cuts is that investment is better than consumption.
Which is a damned stupid assumption. You can invest all you want in starting new businesses. If people don't have money to purchase your goods and services that investment is worthless.
Economic activity is demand driven, and despite the enormous income inequality the lower 99 percent still have the most purchasing power. Most people earn a living making goods or providing services for the middle and lower classes. The economy is not driven by the purchase of luxury goods.
In a nutshell, the modern American Right is losing credibility
The modern American Right is losing credibility because they so completely and thoroughly won that positions more conservative than Nixon's or Reagan's are considered left wing these days. Conservatives have managed to move the political center so far to the right that there are no longer any tenable positions rightward of center.
Even if the Republican party completely implodes and never elects another official again, conservatives still have the Democratic party, which is well to the right of anything considered centrist anywhere else in the world. Right wingers in the US can choose between two parties. Left wingers in the US really only have one candidate, and she has to get arrested to get any attention.
By your logic, all one would have to do to make the first amendment null and void is pack the supreme court with authoritarians. The fact that the judge in this case is too corrupt to correctly apply the constitution doesn't mean the constitution isn't still the supreme law of the land. It just means that the judge is corrupt.
He wasn't, so the judge didn't hear any argument against what the movie company said, so he had to assume that everything they said was fact.
Even if all the facts in this case are as the movie company said, the judgement is still legally wrong. $150,000 for sharing a film is unconstitutionally excessive.
Nonsense, there could hardly be a bigger stimulus. If you don't own your data when it's in the cloud, you can't be responsible for it. Just keep all your pirated material in the cloud and watch Amazon get sued for it.
Wait, you mean you can still get sued for data hosted in the cloud? So it's my data when it's convenient for the government, and it's not my data when it's convenient for the government.
No mention of any home computer keyboard. No mention of the PCjr and its infamous chicklet keyboard. No mention of the classic Apple Extended Keyboard. It's as if keyboard history went directly from the Model M to Dell Quietkeys with nothing in between.
If this bug has been known since July your failure to publically announce it has left thousands of people vulnerable for months. That is irresponsible disclosure. Responsible disclosure is immediate disclosure. Period.
Is it insane in this case? Yes, it is. But it's the law
No it's not. The constitution is the law, and the law clearly states that excessive fines shall not be imposed. Of course, the thugs in charge of enforcing and interpreting the law don't see it that way. But that doesn't change what the law actually is. It only means that our government operates extra-legally.
No, they can and do invent a debt and demand payment. They can't ding your credit score for a fake debt. They can't contact you about fake debt if you've initiated action under the fdcpa. But there's absolutely nothing stopping them from just cold calling people and asking for money for something they made up (or something they bought from someone who made it up). It costs them very little to do, and there are absolutely no consequences to them unless they persist after fdcpa action.

I find it easier to just keep a virtual desktop with 4 consoles open, and just switch with a hotkey.

Electric cars are competitively priced if you are actually in their target market.
Rich people?
Why are they using a rat sized robot? Why not an actual robo-rat?
GP was probably thinking of age of consent laws which often are strict liability.

Wow, smart marketing guys. That's not something you see every day.

Like usual, everything is better when it's open source.
If you're doing something for the public good, and you show restraint
Good point. What restraint has been shown on the part of those erecting surveillance cameras on every corner?
If the fly is recording my actions, then yes it's exactly the same whether it's across the street or not.
Do you have to be an old fart to remember Pete Seeger? That was my reference. I had forgotten that Weeds used it as its theme song, I'm not a fan.
I make them with ticky tack.

If only someone would pursue similar vigilante justice agains the creeps who put surveillance cameras everywhere.
With corporate cameras, odds are much higher that the footage is going onto a temporary buffer
A false sense of security is worse than no sense of security.
