Perhaps the news will arrive in the form of a rope. The kleptobankers and Wall Street vampires need a bit of stretching.
Our only hope is that enough people actually do real work for a living that they can form a mob sufficient to become the rulers of their nations.
It is way past time for the public to get outraged and act up in regard to the entire utilities industry. Whether it is power, phone or cable it is high time to vastly reduce both the charges from the providers as well as taxes placed upon the end users.
You might sum it up by just stating that poor people are dangerous. And in fact they are. Desperate people will do things that affluent people will not such as file nonsense law suits. They will also riot, are prone to carrying disease and if there is a drive by shooting in the area it is very, very unlikely to be rich people doing the shooting.
In the US poverty is somewhat assigned to the poorer races. Rebellion in races of people who have been poorly treated is a fact. If you don't believe it try walking around in a black ghetto at night and let me know how it comes out if you live through it.
I know this post might offend people but it is true. For example when was the last time you saw a street corner hooker spreading HIV and other diseases who was a millionaire?
Laws will not repress crimes of poverty. The real answer is for the society afflicted to make certain that no person suffers poverty. Lifting up the poor just happens to lift up the rich as well.
I used to manage theatres and the industry is quite aware that hard times are good news in the movie industry. The Great Depression was a boom for theatres. These days a lot of the gate may not be in box office receits but from other modes of distribution.
The theory was that normal people under great stress report to theatres as an escape. Conversely more deviant personalities resorted to bars or gambling during hard times.
Did the companies that cheated still benefit from the cheating after the fines are paid? I'll bet that they did. Usually fines against corporations are actually a signal to keep right on doing wrong. Think Microsoft. How many huge fines have they paid? Yet it obviously has always paid off for them to violate the law.
Any work requiring concentration is best carried out in a very quiet environment that is also free of visual distractions.
The answer is not to drown out noise with music. The answer is to provide a different work place for programmers. I doubt that too many ace students in colleges study for critical exams with music or TVs yacking away.
Corruption and arrests of judges in Florida as well as mayors, school boards and other public positions are unusually frequent.
In order to restore some sort of order Florida has every reason to be overly strict in requirements for judges.
I have lived in Florida for 54 years and this state needs federal intervention. Having a Bush for governor didn't help and now we have another idiot as governor seeking a senate position.
I seriously doubt that you can get that information to vanish or be unavailable for anyone looking for it.
However I seriously also doubt that many employers or anyone else will have much of a problem with it at all.
It is rather like the new car buyer worrying about a ding or two on their credit rating. They usually fail to appreciate that the last 1000 buyers had worse credit than theirs. Employers who dig deep may find that in fact you are the cleanest applicant they have had all year. Others may care less simply because the reality is that all they care about is making money of of their job-slave-employees.
I suggest that you not be vain but let any prospective employer know that you are a good catch indeed and they are lucky that you applied for a job with them. If they have so many applicants that you are simply one of the vast horde then you need to be in another trade anyway as the value of the job will be starvation level wages with no real hope of growth for you.
The Bush administration pushed scientists into being quiet or not reporting scientific conclusions. That does represent a real loss in credibility to the scientific community as many scientists complied with the Bush party line.
The other part of the problem is that people are tricked into disbelief in science when they are manipulated by phonies who try to generate a position for themselves by claiming that science is challenging traditional beliefs that are outside of scientific research. For example Darwinism does not imply that atheism is a correct belief system. But many back woods preachers rant that Darwinism and atheism are one and the same thing. Somehow it escapes these peoples' grasp that God could use evolution in creating the world as we know it.
It is a sad thing but somewhere along the line our leadership will bet the idea that they need to do what it takes to make a profit in every war. This could be a disaster for entire populations. Think of it. Plowing the entire population into a pit and then depleting a nations assets and leaving nothing of worth in the wake of war. At least in ancient times captive populations had some value as slaves or induction into the conquering army. These days people have less value.
Georgia certainly has always had a reputation for very weird laws and law enforcement.
I also suspect that enforcement of some of these types of laws depends upon whether you are popular in your community or viewed as some sort of problem type of person.
With different factions in Iran it sure makes it hard to know which one to bomb. Then again bombs don't discriminate. In all seriousness Iran is a fantasy island in that they are ignoring a very real possibility of either Israel or the US bombing them back to a dead chunk of desert.
Usually development follows demand. Since the numbers of people wanting to use multiple monitors with the options is quite small it is no shock that little work is done in that area. If it were for a commercial OS such as Windows think of how much each buyer might be asked to pay for such a program.
What a victory for the tax payer. First we have the thrill of supporting some lard assed FBI personnel. Then we have the joy of paying for a trial as well as the prosecutor's time. And then for the next wonderful thrill we get to pay a huge sum to put this poor guy in prison! And then we get the absolute joy have having him on a sex offenders' list so that he will not be employable or able to get housing for the rest of his life which will trigger welfare and public support until the poor schmuck is dead.
So the guy gets his entire life trashed and the public gets a whopping expense. With a logic stream such as this one the people behind this kind of law should have been in charge of the war in Vietnam. Entire new definitions of victory abound!
The death of news and journalism are highly locked to the trend established in the Reagen era of constantly cutting back on expenses. How many news sources are willing to maintain large staffs of reporters stationed not only in America but in every corner of the world? Knock off a few reporters from their jobs and nothing seems to change at all. So they fire more and more reporters. Then to take up space and try to maintain followers they carry lonely hearts pages or cooking and sports sections. The real news gets lost in the process. And then just to increase the stench in the slime pit they refuse to report anything that might offend their sponsors.
The results of this are tragic. Entire elements in society have no faith at all in the news or press. But this does not stop with a bunch of people walking about feeling bitter. It erupts into crime, riots, drug usage and decline in general. This gloomy outlook transfers downward to our young people who do not believe the party line at all. Seeing so many parents who did get degrees and training and still either work way too hard or are not employed at all helps to cause kids quitting school and living only for the moment.
If the common man believed the news we would not have had the riots in South Central L.A. and numerous other places.
It's lovely that governments are so eager to fight but guess who pays for the boxing gloves. Continuing battles generate continuing public expenses. Real economic recovery might involve the idea that issues that do not resolve be kept out of government and the courts unless they really are of vital public interest. We see stem cell issues eating at public taxes. We have seen pornography wasting public money for centuries. In America we see all kinds of time and money occupied with abortion arguments. It is high time for our courts and our legislatures to face the fact that these issues are an endless swamp that we do not need to wade in. In essence one side feels that they must have something and in order to get it they force all of us to pay for their endless whimpering and complaints. They should have been aborted!
Does this court feel that the individual who committed the offense lives within their jurisdiction? Or does this court feel that it has the right to extend its grasp into other nations?
This treaty nonsense is an offense to liberties of free men around the world.
So far Linux does have musical capabilities but not enough and not easy enough either.
For example converting a treble clef trumpet part to a bass clef trombone part should be a no brainer and printing it out should be a breeze as well. Further converting a melody played through the system into a score should also be simple.
Having to use different programs to print a score, convert a score and play a score will not attract many musicians.
So far one of the very, very few excuses for running Windows is the production of music by musicians. Online DJs may fare better as they may alter music but do not usually create it.
Anyone who thinks that any law enforcement agency will hand over any information at all concerning ongoing investigations is living on Fantasy Island. Even letting criminals know that an investigation of them is not in progress is not going to happen. In other words courts may do as they may but this law suit has severe limitations.
It seems to me that the people that advertise in newspapers would feel as though they were willing to pay more for ads if the newspapers would put the entire content online. Restricting access will turn around and bite the newspaper industry. The will rue th day they thought of restricting access.
I would think that if retaliation is likely that the authorities can issue him a different identity so that he can live as usual during the case. They must protect him if there is a real threat.
I think that computers are helping in health care. As an example whenever I get a script both my doctor and my pharmacy run programs that detect any conflicts or hazards in my medications. That is a life saver and clearly superior to an over worked doctors memory.
I also have both knees replaced by artificial joints. Parts for those joints are machined during the surgery as they are custom fit. Computer controlled machines create those parts. Can you imagine if you had to remain under anesthesia while a machinist messed about trying to machine a good fit for those joints. As it is a double knee replacement took over six hours under anesthesia which is life threatening in itself.

One can go to the local Walgreen's drug store and get their cartridges refilled for $10. A cartridge will usually last me about one year.
