"Maturity" was invoked here because I called people Teabaggers. Those people are not worthy of more respect than that - they festooned themselves with teabags, choosing it as their symbol. Their failure to appreciate the more established meaning of the word was consistent with their other arrogant ignorance. Teabaggers' kindergarten playground version of history and power, and their own origins (Republican corporate sponsors' campaigns) fails hardest on the maturity angle.
That is how a product dies: laden with lockin, leveraging only the installed base instead of more interoperation. Meanwhile ARM and Android/Linux is installed on over 500 million mobile devices (plus a lot of servers and workstations), rapidly outgrowing the 900 million Windows installs (plus a pitiful few phones), to say nothing of the even worse loss by MS in embedded devices.
If MS could turn the lockin to lockout of upgrade with Android or Linux, it might keep another tentacle attached, but it all starts to look like the changing of the mainframe guard that MS rode to victory for so long.
Back that up with proof like I did. You're going to have to find over 50 other phrases to bring the count equal to the mentions of the plan. Then I will find another phrase for "romney plan" and you'll have to do it again. You'll run out first.
The "other person" is his own political party. If he took responsibility, he'd say that he's a member of that party, and he'll refuse that kind of politicking if elected, which is what matters more than saying something mean in a campaign. But he said nothing about the party, only a message that conveniently reaches the Republican voters he wants to put him into office even as he distances himself from the message to reach other voters who disliked it. That is standard operating procedure, especially with the Republican Party. You might not realize it, but he certainly does, and took no responsibility for it. He simply blamed someone else, though he's their firm partner.
Taking responsibility would involve forcing the party to take responsibility in a public message, or just publicly rejecting the party and its further support until it apologized. Big difference between any of that and merely blaming someone else while accepting the benefits.
You don't know how the Republican Party works, do you?
If he really were not coordinated with and dependent on the Republican Party of which he is a member, he'd be saying something stronger about it in response to the mudslinging. He distanced himself from the ad, not from the ad's sponsors.
The US people created a government to protect themselves from the gangs of marauding warlords, and have mostly kept it. To calibrate the degrees these statements are true, see all the other countries. We're relative to each other. Though in this scale, it's obvious the US has mostly slid towards Somalia, with notable exceptions.
No, I just told the truth about Republicans. I'm not a Democrat. Though I do live in NY. I don't care what Schumer thinks he owns. Except for the part where he owns a Democratic Senate majority, instead of the hysterical insanity that Republicans would give us with theirs. Democratic majorities aren't good, but they're not the living hell that are Republican majorities.
I'm aware that I'm informed. You, on the other hand, are so lazy that you wasted your comment on a mere insult, greased with a condescension you haven't earned. I bet it's based on your ignorance, and that you care only about bleating in horror when poked with a cluestick.
Romney's lies mostly fly through the mass media without challenge. Recently they have met some resistance, since the corporate owners know Obama's going to win, so are going along to get along with the power for 4 more years.
The mass media is populated by journalism majors, they don't have the capacity to truly do good fact checking.
1. There aren't many journalism majors in the mass media, since there aren't many journalism majors, and there are even fewer jobs in the shrinking industry. 2. Journalism majors are the ones with the fact checking capacity (skills), but there aren't many, and their corporate offices don't pay for fact checking. 3. It's the corporate disinterest in facts (to publish) that leaves facts unchecked. 4. Googling "romney lied" vs "romney plan" gives 4900 to 188,000 , 2.6% .
That sounds just like the Republican totalitarians who will strip your property and kill you without trial if you don't play by their rules, who created and run front "libertarian" groups like the Tea Party.
Calling those nincompoops "teabaggers" is polite. Pretending that someone running against the Maine Republican Party in 2012 should be "non-partisan" is immature.
Where did he take responsibility? He blamed his own party for mudslinging, not himself. As if he's not working closely with his own state Republican Party, that's funding and staffing the rest of his campaign.
He's lying. The only way the Republican Party (that's funding his campaign and staffing it) would do that is if they know he accepts it. Why shouldn't he lie? It worked on you.
Hahahaha. And Romney's "blind trust" just randomly gave $10M startup funds to Romney's son.
The reason these groups insist on secrecy of their members and donors is because it's obvious that they're coordinating based on who they are and their other relationships.
They work because they're good. While I want to hear from a candidate the constructive claims they make, I want to hear from someone the most intense criticism of the candidate. Who else but their competition to offer that criticism?
Of course lying is worse than no criticism. The mass media is supposed to tell us when they're lying, but it's all far too corporate to say "lie", even when it's in its corporate interest to do so.
Yes, Libertarianism is an excellent way to run an imaginary world. The real world requires compromise with reality. Like the people forming governments to protect themselves from each other. Especially from bands of marauding warlords.
Xillinux and other distros seem to work on the Zedboard (perhaps better than Xilinx's). I'd think they'd rather use the mainstream kernel, with the Xilinx patches for the FPGA HW. I'll ask Xillybus.
I was actually thinking of using the Xillinux (customized Ubuntu) distro on the Zedboard, since the one bundled with the Zedboard doesn't seem to support a VGA console out of the box, but Xillinux seems to. But I want to keep up with the mainstream kernel updates, not some Xillinux/Zedboard/Xilinx backwater. If one of these distros that include APIs to the FPGA included the mainstream 3.7 kernel, maybe only the userland would depend on upgrades from these third parties.
Sounds like the ARM platforms could use a HW API that the kernel could query on boot to know what's where. In fact that sounds like a much better architecture than x86 + "self describing HW" + BIOS - just the "self describing HW" that the kernel reads instead of using a BIOS.

The Maine Republican Party is the Tea Party. Attacking the Democrat merely for playing WoW in some bizarre fear campaign fails the maturity test.

OK, on Google News it's under 2.5%, which is about 5% less than Google-all:
"romney lied: 356
"romney lied: 14,300
Give up. If you're not going to even try your own argument before you post it, it's not worth reading.

No, those are your inferences, not their implications. The fallacies are entirely yours.

So does the mayor of Sim City. They each think their fantasy is reality.
The ad we're talking about is the Republican Party funding his campaign. So "indirectly" (to put it politely) is how.
It's the Maine state senate. You're stupid.

All the wireheads have been jonesing for multiple this kernel update.
