No, no scripts.. certainly not without asking permission to run. They can put up regular old HTML static pictures and text in the main page.
The only safe browser we will soon have is one that just views the page source without parsing it.
Elections are coming up. Is it an issue worth bringing up? Since it's given that neither democrats or republicans are going to reign them in, what's the plan? There are other choices. Or is everybody just going to treat it like the weather and complain because they can't work an umbrella?
Absolute nonsense. The money is not the issue. It is the scapegoat. If the voters choose to turn their backs, all the money in the world won't make a bit of difference. Right now it is the voter who sells his vote to the highest bidder. Don't blame the corporations for that. The problem is ours to deal with, the person in the mirror.
Are you saying that there are only two candidates on the ballot? And that the people of the redrawn district can't conspire (petition) to have anyone they want put on the ballot? Sorry, you're still only describing choices made by the voter.
There are more than two candidates, and anybody is allowed to run. Nobody forces you to vote for the ruling party. And save your breath on the 'lesser evil' bullshit.
The better solution is to give people enough space to move freely. It's those damn barriers that cause the problems. Restrict the flow and there's gonna be trouble. This latest event only confirms the obvious. It's just another rerun.
As long as the humans still behave like pack animals, and as long as the designated gathering venues such as Mecca fail to expand to accommodate the vastly increase number of participants, you can count on even worse disasters to happen
That's why you shouldn't fence them in. The problem starts when you block the path. Just put the whole damn thing out in the open where people can move.
Yes, it would seem logical that every manager should come up through the ranks in the business they wish to manage. Unfortunately... politics, whaddya gonna do?
Eh, he's a sheepdog, keeping the 'hippie' money in the democrat corral. He works the machine like Lieberman did, to keep out independents that don't play ball. But yeah, the real race between republicans and democrats is being run within the democrat primary, but the Duck Dynasty Party still has to be considered unfortunately. It would be so easy just to turn our backs on the insanity, no matter how much money they spend.
There is so much thorium available on this planet you could power everything for hundreds of thousands of years.
Not at our present growth rate. You'll boil off all the water in 400 years, even with 100% renewables, and will require the entire output of the sun in 1400 years, and you only get another thousand before needing the entire galaxy. However, I believe we will stabilize the population a bit before then. I don't see where there is much choice.

But I still want to see how high you can build the wall.

Egg-zactly! The voters sell their votes to the guy that flashes the most money and laugh the others off the stage. Whose fault is that?
Well, I'm sorry. The voters just have to organize themselves better. I still see no problem outside the personal choices they make.
Who the fuck cares?? Who voted for them??!

If it is so hopeless, then it's time to rethink majority rule.

You can't trust authority. How many times does it have to be proven?
Congress should repeal it, but they won't because those with actual political power like it.
That is the voters' problem. If they don't vote for a congress that will repeal the DMCA, it simply won't happen. Pretty basic, don't you think?

Cue console peasants telling me why consoles are great...
They fit in the overhead compartment?
Jeeze! Now I know why they always look cross-eyed... People are gonna look pretty weird in 40 years.
Gonna turn Lake Tahoe into a giant hot tub?
utterly inappropriate for anything demanding known precision.
That's why it works best with irrational numbers...
We would need a whole new power grid...
old idea...

But suddenly it seems to have become a social obligation to friend everybody. Which is ridiculous.
Don't be so harsh. Just try it!
