Thus depriving Chinese workers of jobs. Preferring your own nationality to foreigners is called...what exactly? Purely because you're part of that nationality? Go ahead and put whatever label you like on it. It's still bullshit.
Not sure I parse your argument here... you're saying that it's wrong for American companies to pull their manufacturing back from China to America (where, consequently, the vast majority of said American companies customers reside)... because why? Nationalism bad? Like I said, not sure I follow your point here...
Why should Chinese suffer while Americans prosper?
There is no Democrat or Republican candidate standing that will curb corporate abuse.
FTFY.
Third parties don't get enough notice in this nation to be included in such a generalization (which, if all third parties were included, would become false anyway).
A quote I've been trying to spread around: "The only wasted vote, is the one that goes to a Democrat or a Republican."
And I hope you get thrown in pound me in the ass prison for it.
Yea, I'll bet you do, fag.
P.S. Thanks for standing up for my right to speech, like a true American. United we stand, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for an engagement with your mother's quite spacious vagina...
No, I will not STFU. I was being far more constructive than you, as you were just advocating violence like a retarded gun nut.
Says you.
Isn't it amazing how everyone thinks they're the one making a intellectual contribution, whereas it's the other guy who's always some brainless neanderthal unworthy of attention? Why, if I didn't know better, I would think that you're just another hyperbolic asshole who thinks he's God's gift to humanity, whose every word is golden gospel... gimme a break.
Human nature sure would be funny, if not so god-damn stupid...
You added absolutely nothing, and your idiotic suggestion would do absolutely nothing to help the situation, except maybe put you in more power. And that is something that everyone should work to prevent.
You didn't have to respond to my original post; you didn't have to respond to my subsequent responses. If anyone is 'adding nothing,' it would be you, since you weren't the original respondent to begin with.
Besides that, I'm not the one getting all angry and butthurt because someone on the internet said something I disagree with. Here's a life lesson for you: Some battles aren't worth fighting - choose yours wisely.*
* I of course mean that in the future tense, as you've already demonstrated that you're currently lacking that particular bit of wisdom.
And the interesting part... This process Is like a scam scheme, but the investors from the target companies still trust in this golden parachutes CEOs, even knowing what he did with the previous victim.
I like to refer to that as the "Have to Pay to Get Good People" fallacy.
Einstein was a brilliant physicist because it was his passion, not because he made billions doing it (which he didn't, further supporting my supposition).
Nerd entitlement: You should make culture so I don't have to pay for it but that someone else that isn't me does.
I'm gonna fucking laugh like a hyena when Game of Thrones - like every other program loved by Nerds - gets cancelled.
Fucking nerds think that the world owes them entertainment because they once compiled a Linux kernel.
You should go and steal yourself a car. You'd fucking like that analogy.
So... "don't force antiquated methods on your customers" somehow equates to "gimme stuff for free?"
Somehow I get the feeling that your lair, within your mother's basement, is filled to overflowing with mutilated cat parts... Seek help.
Oh and last time I visited Penn State, about three years ago, everyone was still using pencil-and-paper. A few had laptops but even they were taking notes on paper. It's faster. And often easier especially for the math & engineering majors (hard to input complicated equations or circuits into a PC at the speed of the professor's chalkboard writing).
I second the pen and paper note-taking suggestion. I've found that if I type my notes in class, I spend more time transcribing every word the lecturer says instead of paying attention to the lecture and noting down the points that are important. Of course, you can always ask the lecturer if you can record the class if you need the crutch.
My problem with typing notes (as opposed to hand writing them) is that I spend far too much time spell/grammar checking my notes, and end up completely missing large chunks of the lecture.
Not to diss the idea completey - It would probably be a far more viable method for someone who's not an O.C.D. Grammar Nazi like I am.
I find my ability to retain information increases greatly if I pay attention. If I'm writing, I'm not paying attention, I'm just a passive conduit for words going in my ears and out my fingers. If I do take notes, I generally find myself wondering what the hell I meant. Better to just pay attention in class and read the text. Notes are worthless.
As I said,
Of course, YMMV, not everybody learns the same way.
If Jesus was still here, how would he spread the good word? Youtube? Would he be a blogger? Tweets? Would we all be his followers?
I know it's OT, but what the hell, I'll bite -
Assuming that Jesus was, as the Christian Bible proclaims, the earthly incarnation of an omnipotent, omniscient being, why wouldn't he just beam his message directly into our brains?
Technology is cool, but not as cool as omnipotence...
If it were me, I'd stick to good ol' fashioned carbon on paper. I find my ability to retain information increases greatly if I write it down myself, manually.
Of course, YMMV, not everybody learns the same way.
No, the real crime is how ordinary folks like you and me get our feet held to the fire and lives ruined for the most minor of slip-ups (say, possession of a god-damn plant), while the elite (banksters, celebrities, politicians, et. al.) get a free pass to do whatever they damn well please, such as knowingly and intentionally fucking up the economy, or stealing our livelihoods.
Or I could just think that your hyperbole in suggesting that we use the gallows or the guillotine against any number of public officials, regardless of their level of corruption, is absolutely absurd.
Noted.
Now, unless you have something constructive to add, please STFU. There are enough useless naysayers out there, who have no ideas of their own but are perfectly happy to piss on everyone else's, without you adding to their ranks.
As is the case with those referring to Obama as a "messiah," I get the feeling that the only people who actually say that are douche bags trying to demonize "the other guys."

They don't now?
Over 50% of the economy is directly owned by the State. The State owning the means of production is called...what?
Communism.
However, the parent to your post was specifically pointing out that China is not a socialist state.
You're both technically correct; the best kind of correct.
Predictions come before the event in question. At this point, Woz is just stating a fact.
....but, sadly, doesn't.
(The other one isn't saying much)
Too soon?
+5, Funny says no.
It's still early, wait for the fanboi's to finish fapping at all the 'leaked' iPhone 6 pics.

...so where do we complain?
According to some stuff I just made up, apparently EA is now handling all DMCA takedown complaints.
Quite an interesting story, especially amount of struggle between MK and his parents.
Seconded; this is one FA that's worth the read.

Joke?
What joke?
I take it you haven't been following American politics the last decade or so?
Oh and last time I visited Penn State, about three years ago, everyone was still using pencil-and-paper. A few had laptops but even they were taking notes on paper. It's faster. And often easier especially for the math & engineering majors (hard to input complicated equations or circuits into a PC at the speed of the professor's chalkboard writing).
Plus, typing in shorthand is about 1.5 bitches.
It would be nice if there were a running tally on each politician for how many times they distorted or lied about something
Oh, hell, that's an easy one to figure out - just tally up the number of times said politicians' lips move.
I second the pen and paper note-taking suggestion.

As I said,
(Take the test, recycle the notes.)
.. and by 'recycle,' he of course means 'sell on the internet'

Celestial snuff films?
You astronomers are sick, you know that?
Also worth noting, which I forgot to mention in my previous response -
Though you may perceive it to be so, I'm not being hyperbolic. I meant every word.
Or I could just think that your hyperbole in suggesting that we use the gallows or the guillotine against any number of public officials, regardless of their level of corruption, is absolutely absurd.
