This is where WE THE PEOPLE stand up for ourselves and make sure those people who threaten our security don't get away with it. This country is more fractured by ideaology and party lines NONE of which serves the people. If you don't want your country to tear itself apart then speak up and get involved. The simplest thing you could do is educate yourself about the issues and vote in all elections. That may not help the current situation but as a citizen it is our responsibility to know what the issues are and hold out government responsible for their actions.
I'd be interested to see the difference in SAT scores between those who are taught creation and those that are taught evolution. Perhaps there may not be any difference but I'd still like to see if there is a difference in how each scores. Oh and creationism is equivalent to burying your head in the sand while the world around you changes. Just because you want it to be doesn't make it so.
Wake me when the US voting system actually gives a third party a chance to play any role.
The tea party (teabaggers) have fractured the Republican party to the extent that John Boehner (speaker of the house) can't get republican congressmen to vote the party line. I expect they will field a candidate for president and may well get some air time when debating other candidates.
Social networks = strangers spying on your life and selling that information to others. Eventually companies like Facebook and Twitter will just end up as the next big bubble. Facebook is a perfect example of this. Their revenue for 2010 was close to 2 billion dollars but Since Goldman Sachs gave them money they are now "supposedly" valued at 50 billion. WTF!! Are they using the social network as a cover for a large counterfiet ring? It's all hype and there's no reason a company like this should be valued this high. Goldman Sachs = hump and dump then looking for a bail out. Nothing new here. Move along.
I'm really curious how you'd expect The President to promote industry as well. For one, it's the Executive branch. They don't create laws or set policy (or shouldn't.) The primary goal of said branch is execute the law.
That may be so however he did a good job working within the party to push that health care bill through congress. And in reality presidents have always pushed their own agenda especially when their party has the majority rule in both houses of congress.
True, reverting to the gold standard would greatly excelerate our fall into third world nation status. But I just dont see why that's a desirable thing.
I believe reverting to the gold standard is not how you fix the mess we are in. First we have to clean house and start building industry and jobs first. There are a lot of people out there that WANT to work. We also need to determine a better way to give incentives to bring back all those jobs that were outsourced. You can't just give tax cuts without a clearly defined goal of returning more people to the workforce. This is the first thing Obama should have done instead of the health care bill that most voters didn't even see a benefit from. Once you bring industry back and get people working you can start to make a dent in the deficit (trade and fiscal). Only then should we contemplate going back on the gold standard. No one wins if we go broke because we can't pay our bills. Both parties have to drop thier idealism and get back to work.
I'm glad to hear someone else likes that map. Imagine how cool it would look if they put out a newer version of Unreal Tournament. The graphics were never that great but the game play goes on and on.
It's not the equipment, the sandpit, or the tether-ball. It's the other children. Now, if we could only remove the children then we'd have safe playgrounds.
I guess that depends on the playground. Some kids fear the bully but other kids fear the drug pusher. Location Location Location
LMAO now we're not just behind in manufacturing and test scores, we also trail behind what once was a third world country in espionage. Great. We're all going to hell.
LMAO he's got a point. Vista 64 ran like a slow fat pig. Windows explorer would give you the circle of death every time you attempted to browse the file system. When 7 came out I Office Spaced the crap outa that disk.
LMAO I remember the screen freezes along with the tortured sounds coming from the speakers. That was a great game when I finally got it to work properly. What ever happened to Unreal Tournament? When they got a few titles under the belt they produced some amazing work (anyone remember UT 2004). And the mods/maps were just awesome. I remember this one "hall of giants" in low gravity with some nuke tipped weapon and the bounce pads. Damn I played the shit out of that game. Gonna have to find the disk and install it again.
At the time of writing, the forum already had over 100 registered members.
... and of the 100, 89 of them were CIA, 9 FBI, and 2 Interpol.
Your numbers are all wrong. The CIA doesn't give a shit about groups like this. The real count was 50 for NSA 49 for FBI and 2 for Interpol. Come to think of it you may want to throw a man or two in from Air Force "cyber" intelligence as we all know Anonymous is a threat to the US government's "cyber" infrestructure. The real threat of course is state sponsored hacking with China being the prime suspect.
antipsychotics have become the single top-selling therapeutic class of prescription drugs in the U.S
Big Pharma forcing shit down our throats for profit. Just like every other corporation in this country: out for the bottom line. Clinical depression is a bitch. I saw first hand what these so called" thereputic drugs" did to my mother. Take this for the depression take this for the pain take this so your liver doesn't explode. Where does it end? When do the doctors stand up and say NO. Remember the Hippocratic Oath? Oh and the only reason these so called thereputic drugs are the top selling drugs is because the US government thinks mary jane is as toxic as heroine and cocaine. Serves no medical use my ass. The war on drugs was born from racism and hate. When are we going to focus on bigger problems like methamphetamines and crack. Those are far worse problems than smoking weed. Legalization and taxation. This country is broke and needs a massive infusion of cash yet the government chooses to ignore the obvious sources. Oh yeah my mother just wanted to die after my father died. They had been together for 40 years and he was her anchor. Those drugs the doctor prescribed kept her going for a few years after dad died but in the end she didn't go easily. So much for dignity.
Damn right. I have a daughter much like your two. Fortunately we know the school nurse (no psych in 2nd grade) and she would never do something like that bitch tried to do to your kids. "I've been taking these drugs most of my life. I know they're good for your kids." That's the problem right there.
ONE OF Einstein's colleagues asked him for his telephone number one day.
Einstein reached for a telephone directory and looked it up.
"You don't remember your own number?" the man asked, startled.
"No," Einstein answered. "Why should I memorize something I can so easily get from a book?"
Einstein was waay ahead of his time.
Simple test. Ask iPhone users about a component in their phone ("What kind of processor is in that?") See what they say. Now ask an Android user. They won't all know, but more of them seem too.
That comment just hit a 5.0 (not 5g) on the LMAO meter. Only geeks care what's under the hood and while I agree there are probably a disproportionatly higher number of geeks on the Android side most people buy on impulse or percieved need so that invalidates the quoted post.

LMFAO you got a good point.
but should programmers play the role of doctor even in seemingly harmless areas?
That's a stupid generalization. A doctor can hire a programmer to create an app but a that still does not make the programmer a doctor.

It's very extremely illegal, but it doesn't appear to be working. Perhaps someone should copyright the phrase?
No this is Slashdot. Perhaps someone should patent the phrase. Hate to say it but "fixed that for ya".

Well if I hadn't already posted you would get my mod points.
It hasn't opened a wormhole to another dimension yet.... I remain unimpressed.
