What really bothers me is that the laypeople get it and are trying to do the appropriate thing
If the lay people "get it" why are they still attending and supporting the Church? If they really got it, they'd see that the right thing to do is to cut all ties with that criminal organization.
Really? This car and this car don't look pretty much identical at first glance? Sure, there are couple things you can pick out when you look at them side by side, but you'd have to specifically memorize the distinguishing features in order to tell them apart. That's pretty much the case with the Apple and Samsung products too.
I can't tell the difference between a Honda and a Toyota 9 times out of 10, and I drive a Honda. If my GF didn't have a sun roof, and there was no hood ornament, I'd have absolutely no way of distinguishing her silver Corolla from the neighbors silver Civic. What exactly is this supposed to prove?
I'd be willing to agree to that, if you include GWB, Hank Paulson, Ed Liddy, etc. Sound fair? We can work together on this.
OWS has a lot more in common with the portions of the Tea Party that haven't been coopted by the Republican party than it does any mainstream politician.
we have a working democracy (republic) because we respect the system
We don't have a working democracy, that's the point. If we did, we'd have a government that's run in the interests of the 99.9% of us, and not the top 0.1%.
Really, go read their site, the other day the first five or so WE WANT (I mean these guys come off as "WE ARE, THEREFOR YOU OWE US) were to use the oppressive power of government even more.
Yes, we're asking the government to do its job and actually protect us. That means more laws, and more enforcement of laws. Wall Street had a chance to behave itself, and it wrecked the country. If you liked your deregulated finance industry, you should have used it responsibly. It's not oppression when the government kicks your boot off of my neck.
If you don't agree that there's been a serious problem with our country for the past 30 years, then you're just insane. Even the strictest conservative can agree that productivity should be corelated with compensation (work hard and you'll succeed, right?). Even the strictest conservative can agree that people who commit crimes should be punished (robosigning is a felony).
It's hard to map a full spherical image onto a flat display.
My retinas seem to handle it just fine. Yes, you'll have to use some special software to render the image, but there's no reason you can't render a viewpoint into the image without distortion.
See, much of my retirement is tied up in Wall St and I'm the working class schlub they are supposed to be protesting for. They are NOT helping!
That's a nice insurance policy Wall Street has. If the serfs get too uppity, just crash their retirement. That way you get a country full of Uncle Toms running to prop up the system. Aren't you upset about being in such a bind that you can't even speak your mind for fear of losing your retirement?
Putting your retirement in the stock market is a stupid idea to begin with. Workers should be paid enough that they can save what they need to retire on, without being forced to gamble, or fund unethical behavior.
Taking down corporations is not going to improve our economic situation
Very few people want to take down corporations. We just want them to play fair. They should pay their workers a fair share of the profits. The officers of corporations should go to jail when the corporation commits crimes. And they shouldn't have undue influence over the political process.
Do you disagree?
Then again, I don't see these guys as Nobel Laureate Economists.
At least one Nobel Laureate economist has strongly supported the economic ideas behind OWS.
the extremists threatening American values are what F.D.R. called "economic royalists," not the people camping in Zuccotti Park. -Paul Krugman
The fact that you live in the world as it is shouldn't stop you from advocating for a better one. Should 19th century Abolitionists have walked around naked to protest the cotton industry?
It isn't offering a solution to the problem, all it is saying yea we are angry. So what.
Standing up and making noise is the first step towards getting a problem fixed. Obama, Boehner, Cantor and the rest would be happy to ignore the problem that's been growing for 30 years.
Do you really expect solutions from a bunch of unemployed college grads? They're not economists. The fact that they have trouble articulating a solution doesn't mean they haven't identified a real problem. The solution should come from the people whose job it is to run the country.
Unfortunately, we have no way of making them do their jobs. The only thing we can do is make noise.
Yes. I taught myself calculus from a textbook one summer in high school. Organic chemistry too. Textbooks are my favorite pleasure reading actually. Everything you really need to know is in the textbook.
Just start voice search and say "Navigate to McDonalds" and it will launch your navigation app and plot a course to McDonalds for you.
Nifty. How good is it? Could you say "Navigate to McDonalds or Burger King", and have it find either? Or could you say "Navigate to Fast Food but not McDonalds" and get anything but McDonalds?
To be clear, I do blame Obama for not undoing GWB/Cheney's dirty work. He pretty much promised he would do that.
Really? I remember him promising to focus more on Afghanistan, and close Guantanamo. He did one, and was out manouvered by republicans on the other. These are the only Bush era items I remember him promising to undo, and neither of them affect our essential rights.
I also remember him supporting the "Patriot" act, and supporting warrantless wiretapping, well before the election. It's always been clear to anyone who paid attention that he was just like Bush.
until I open the command line and my life gets happier
Of course, this is the case for every GUI, excepting platforms that don't come with a decent CLI (windows). You're never going to find a GUI that makes your life happier than the CLI because CLIs are fundamentally superior.
So my advice is to give up. Embrace the CLI for everything, and use the absolute minimum GUI you need. There's a shit ton of tiling window managers out there for people who know what they want from a UI.
Therefore an understanding would mean to derive the formula from those theories (just as we understand why the earth goes around the sun by solving the equation of motion in a gravitational field).
Solving the equation for motion in a gravitational field tells you what happens, not why.

Also, copyright has independent conception as a defense, while patents do not.
If the same idea was concieved of independently, then the patent should be invalidated on grounds of obviousness.
It's the UK, the definition of the "nanny state".

Why were you ambivalent about this? This is unequivocally good.
If you find a vulnerability, disclose it. Publicly.

Do you acknowledge that there has been a serious problem with our country for the past 30 years? If so, what measures would you suggest to reverse these trends? Judging from your rhetoric, your answers would be "more deregulation" and "trickle down economics". That's what we've been doing for 30 years, and it's just gotten worse. Do you have anything new to offer?

Someone should trick Timothy into reposting this article. Then he'd be duped into posting a dupe about hadoop.
Thanks! That's a really clear way of getting across what I was trying to say.
