The amount of melanin is directly proportional to the amount of time you will spend in secured government housing. This is a fact borne out by the department of justice. It would be trivial to program a robot to act in the same way.
"department of justice", that just sounds so much like ministry of love, or of silly walks.
I do not deny the existence of negotiation, but the lack of desire, more often than not, is only a euphemism for lack of ability, as a tactic to negotiate a peace and still live for one more day. The mighty still win, always.
The bear knows which fights to pick. And badgers are not weaklings either. The bear's size does not necessarily make him a better fighter. A poisonous snake can kill a bear. There are many ways to quantify might.
And right now the ones fighting for the cheap dinner are the one dominating the context of the battle.
They can't. There's too much secrecy in the system. If the companies want them there, it is strictly a facade of 'legitimacy' for the community to see. It is purely a ceremonial thing. May as well invite the Queen of England. I like the EFF a lot, but they're getting fished in. Whether or not they want to be used like this, I do not know. As I said before, this whole 'certificate' thing is only lipstick on the pig. Certificates look like tracking cookies to me. IP spoofing with proxy servers or whatever will give you more security and privacy. I sure as hell won't get that from any central authority.
1) A widespread belief there is privacy 2) The government violating that privacy through monitoring and frequently acting on the information
Yes, we are living with that contradiction right now. The elections confirm it. And we have to determine how to overcome it.
No, they can't and it shows.. Furthermore, humans aren't qualified to rule over other humans either. *Might makes right* will always come out on top. That is how nature works.
FCC, remember? Who's the guy running it? Of course this is a scam. So what? It has had no effect on the elections and who gets appointed. I figure everybody's okay with it. If they want to fix it, they will.
I believe most people have the misunderstanding that the educational system is designed to do anything beyond breeding conformity. As you know, cui bono... Tablets and Xanax, and fear of this battle station will keep them in line.
You don't sell computers... or you don't have a juicy government contract to sell lots of computers. This will do a lot for somebody... You know the rules..
How is this 'offtopic'??? The damn summary singles out the republicans. Why do people insist on carrying on this charade? The ruling party in DC is a monolithic party, with factional bickering being foisted on the public as actual opposition. How silly can you get?
The truth about these people is not cynical in any way. It's the simple truth about people and/wealth/power. The cynicism is in the voters who believe their lies. They have made the system into a complete fraud with their misplaced, blind faith, hoping for some trickle down. Very cynical indeed they are. The politician is a perfect reflection of the voters' own corruption. 95% reelection rate should speak volumes, but nobody's listening... Eh, too bad.. Waddya gonna do?
Yeah, it is. They watered it down together and voted it down together. They collude on these things like with the ACA. The republicans wanted that (particularly the mandate) as much as the democrats but could not vote for it because of appearances. With enough democrats to pass the bill without their votes, they come out lookin' pretty damn good to their rubes back home. Now, with Keystone and TPP, the democrats don't want to be held responsible, so with a lousy campaign and a few minor scandals, they 'lose' the majority to the republicans and get the bills passed. Look up "rotating villain". It's an age old trick..
You're right though. It's hard to be 'bipartisan' when they are only one.
Are you people going to blame the republicans for that too? They work together, people. Republican and democrat are one, a monolithic entity. Notice you don't have one single independent in the house. May as well be Russia or China. Get over this crap. If you want anything to happen at all, you have to vote the party out of power. That thought shouldn't be too difficult to comprehend.
Electric companies like these huge concentrated wind farms because they still get to control distribution and set prices. These machines are absurd. It's the same old business. And you won't make them any quieter. When you convert so much energy in a given space, it's going to make noise.
Let them take their net metering. They'll get desperate and start dumping to keep coal prices lower. We still come out ahead, if we keep the momentum going.
They only want you to believe you have privacy. But whether you do or you don't won't make any difference in their market. Their market is the people who sell you your internet, and those people usually have monopolies in each respective region. This is a sham to pacify people over the NSA crap. I'm a little disappointed to see the EFF involved. Now I have to pay a bit more attention to their intentions, for instance, where are they going to compromise our interests when dealing with the big names?
Depending on 'big names' can reduce the trust factor to near zero, and rightfully so. How do 'big names' benefit from our privacy? Where is the incentive to secure it? This is a monolithic industry. Supply and demand are silly illusions. 'Big names' are subject to big laws from big people and the whims of big money, obviously, that's what made their names so big. And now we expect them to bite the hand? I don't think so...
Marking a post 'edited' with a timestamp, and it should be amended, not edited (the original remains untouched), would be acceptable. But I see no reason not to just make another post. It seems less buggy and less vulnerable to abuse. But much more importantly, we have to be on guard for deletions. Save local copies of 'questionable' comments, and see if they are still up a few days later.

The past doesn't exist. The future doesn't exist. You are standing on the pinnacle of now. Watch your step.
Not sure what melanin has to do with it.

coalition of Might == government, or zombie hoards... Precisely what we have today
Of course you are right. I'm was only posting a reflection of the assholes who always jump on me without knowing what I actually do.
But, we do have the power...
They actually do intend to do the right thing.
They can't. There's too much secrecy in the system. If the companies want them there, it is strictly a facade of 'legitimacy' for the community to see. It is purely a ceremonial thing.

You all piss and moan about the 'teachers union'. Then get off your ass and start a parents union, or a voters union.

Don't know about cancer, but some of those frequencies can give you a good case of the runs. Happened to me once at a Joe Walsh concert...

C'mon...
No, seriously, swear to god... Are we really, honestly expected to trust them??

Conversely, how else can an inanimate carbon rod win the Worker of the Week Award?
I find the concept truly fascinating. And that people find it acceptable... No doubt about it, they see *five lights*
