I'm curious why we don't put these on houses in the sunniest states. Why not build this array but also put them on homes for those that would welcome them?
So what you're saying is you can learn things in college you can't learn anywhere else. Yes I get that. What I don't agree with is the original assumption that non-college educated people are drains on society. I find it hard to believe the OP is rated 5.
Next time I visit the small farming community I grew up in, I guess I should go around telling all the non-college educated farmers they're drains on society and don't contribute.
We should go around giving the college educated knobs on Wall Street medals, then?
Do you have any data to back up your claim that non-college educated folk are dim-witted drains on society? Or are you just being a douche?
I know a lot of people that have no college at all. Some volunteer at shelters, most have traveled the world extensively, and continue to challenge and learn new things on their own just fine. The difference being is they don't pay some stuffy institution for the privilege.
Attending college doesn't make you better at anything. In fact most people I knew back in college were a bunch of binge drinking twats that hardly turned out to be better citizens.
Oh it died well before that. The notion that the government ever really minded its own business has always been a fairy tale. It has stuck its fingers in our pies from the start.
Requiring people to have healthcare so they can stay healthy is uhm a bit on the oppsite side of the spectrum of a man responsible for murdering ~4 million men, women and children.
Now that the Chinese are raising wages (not just Foxconn either, I read about Honda paying more to one of its parts makers there), this is going to spread. Sure you can move more to other countries, but none have the sure population that China has, except India, but I would argue they're well beyond China as far as worker rights and if China is getting more money they're going to want more.
How long until they cost benefit you have from cheap labor + shipping back to the U.S. isn't worth it? It's only a matter of time.
Seriously what the hell? Stop giving our money to greedy corporations. Want us to buy a house? Spend more on crap? Buy new cars? HOW CAN WE DO THAT WHEN YOU KEEP TAKING OUR $?
OH wait. You'll just take it and give it to corps for free.
Now, I am not a tax hater. I am fine with taxes for things like emergency services, libraries, roads, schools. The difference is those services provide for the public good. Forcing me to hand money over to your buddies at the "too big to fails" is bullshit. You crooked fucks.
I don't buy the argument that it is because kids aren't spoon fed a particular dogma.
More and more of my friends have kids now and they simply put them in front of the TV to keep them quiet. They don't explain the world to them and help them learn how to truly think and figure things out. They let TV do it for them which hammers them with "BUY STUFF!". They grow up just latching onto whatever new thing is put in front of them because that is what they were told.
Teaching someone a culture is brainwashing. Teaching someone how to reason for themselves is freeing someone to be whoever they want. If they then CHOOSE a particular culture or belief system, fine. But we are nowhere close to people being free to do that.
Valve is greedy? How much free content have they released for games in the last year or so? And they continue to work on future free content releases. And they continuously discount the shit out of their games. And Portal was given away for free when Steam on Mac launched.
As far as uninspired, yeah their games are typically of the shooter category only, but shooters with flair that have tried new things (L4D1/2, Portal to name a couple). On the pure business end they have done more to promote a diverse market than most other companies. They've helped promote indie developers thanks to Steam.
I get the fidgety attitude towards Steam and not really "owning" your games, but that is about the only imaginable complaint I can think of when it comes to Valve.
I've had a dual-boot issue since Karmic that isn't fixed in Lucid (upgraded when beta2 dropped).
My raid0 drives, configured on the motherboard, that house Windows 7 aren't properly configured by grub2. Worked fine with grub1, but I guess pushing *new* features is more important to Ubuntu than working features.
I'll be switching my machines to Debian. I've tried to support Ubuntu over the last few years, touting it to employers that don't need Windows for what they do, same with friends and family. But anymore I am inclined to tell them to stay away.
When they go about wasting dev time to integrate social networking features rather than fix important bugs and ramming broken or half baked code into the mix (xorg mem leak one, the grub2 ish another), it's hard for me fly the flag anymore.
Shouldn't you be in the Apple thread? Seriously, the dude is expressing his opinion. After putting time/effort into $THING it no longer is the thing for him and he listed reasons why.
For some reason expressing an opinion results in ad hominem attacks anywhere I go anymore. "Oh well, that's user fixable, so you're retarded. Thus your are wrong."
Why you are modded insightful and not flamebait is beyond me.
It seems Arizona does have a "stop and identify" law which requires you to state your true full name.
However it doesn't seem to require a legit citizen to also show ID. Could be a bit of a nuisance if a citizen, not driving, running over to get a coffee then head back to their home, has cops harassing them because he isn't white. You know it will happen.

I suspect that the problem here is that the bean counters didn't care about security.
That's usually been my experience.

Maybe announced in 2012, but Apple is on record in court filings related to a 2007 case over AT&T lock-in that AT&T has exclusivity to the iPhone until 2012
I'm sure they could buy their way out, but why do that when they could just wait one more year and still sell a shit load of devices?
I'd pay 20/mo if I could have this service w/o ads.
Thanks,

That and the fact he is a colossal d-bag

ORly?
IANAL, but couldn't recording police fall under protection from Right to Petition?
By banning this activity, it reduces the publics ability to say "Hey Government, you fucked me!" and be able to back it up?
Huh, what?
Yes I'm sure corporations would be better off if they had to pay for all the roads and infrastructure needed to distribute their goods on their own.
Dear Washington,
You're doing it wrong.
Thanks,

T-Mobile and AT&T run their premium data services on different frequencies. A T-Mo N1 can do voice and EDGE on AT&T, but not "3G" and vice versa.
Mayor: What do you mean biblical?
Hrm?
I was hoping they'd pop one PowerPoint slide that simply said: "WE LOVE MONEY".
People spent 4.8 million hours enjoying life rather than slaving away for the man :P
