Friend - we haven't sold our independence and liberty down the river. We've squandered it away to rich Oil Companies and knownothing voters.
We've been too busy worrying about Linux vs. Windows to worry about old-fashioned buzzwords like Freedom, Liberty and Independence.
We are reaping what we are sowing. Most Americans care more about movies about comic book heroes, Latte coffee drinks, and purporting to be holy while cursing the latest football/spectator sport game. We don't have time for silliness like, OUR FREEDOMS and WHAT THEY WILL HAVE MEANT WHEN THEY ARE GONE.
You forget that Rich Pro-Corporation Republicans like Bill Gates are running the show these days. They "lobby" Congress to pass laws that suit the big corporations. America is damned as long as it votes Republicans (unless you are already rich). If you aspire to be rich and vote Republican, you're in for a rude awakening.
Agreed. Go to college. You'll make some great friends, you'll grow as a person (in a good and fun way), and you'll make some significant contacts that can help you get a great job.
Also, when you're in college, you get offered more professional "stepping-stone" jobs. You'll find many opportunities for work in your field when you're in college. When you're working at McDonalds, it's hard to network (in the social sense) with other geeks. Other local geek friends == other people that might be able to hook you up with a job.
In fact, most of the jobs you'll find will be from older people (professionals) that have a technology opening at their company, etc. Most jobs are obtained through social networking (knowing someone whom knows someone), than are obtained through sheer skill / blind interviewing.
I learned that in college (even though it wasn't a part of any of my curriculum).;)
I would just call my credit card company immediately after the order clears and tell them that I lost my credit card. They will send you a new one within a day or two usually, and it will have a new number. Poof instant invalid credit card on file at Amazon.
Linux is still not ready for your average Windows Power user. My Dad does Video Editing, etc. and he doesn't need to use apt-get to get a "Free" Video package.
OS X is a great compromise.
I love Linux (my preferred OS since 1996), but I've found OS X/BSD to be a good compromise for people whom aren't as savvy.
Agreed! I live here in Atlanta, GA, and I can't believe the pinheads that get elected here (Republicans)!
We can put a man on the moon, and soon Mars; but we can't take care of our own kids without legislation being introduced. Sheesh, the Republicans are acting more like Democrats these days, and the Dem's are acting more like Republicans! What's going on!?
It may take some getting used to, but it beats having to brew coffee, and wait.

Re:Replacing the electoral college

Who won?

The Electoral College is in place to insure that majority doesn't always win, if it's not in the best interest of the Country.
In the 1960's the majority of Americans didn't think black citizens should have equal rights.
Just because the majority think something, it doesn't mean it's right.
t's a waste of money. Our wireless speeds are far faster than any internet connection they will be hookedup to, unless you're at a University campus. Why bother spending for it? It won't yield any extra download or upload speed.
Uhm, so we can access our home fileservers faster?
Not everyone surfs the web with their MacBook Pro from the dorm lounge.
Some of us use WiFi so we don't have to run Ethernet throughout our homes to our fileserver.
Actually, the cars will charge when usage is low. Most people will charge their cars overnight while they sleep. It will consume more power, but there likely won't be any "surges" that cause blackouts.

Post schematics or it isn't possible to do this.
The only benefit of a DNS trail is to allow rich corporations to audit the queries and optimize them in their favor.
EVERYTHING the internet stands for (and created) will be vaporized by corporate control of it.
Bloggers - you'll become accountable for what you say
Hosters - you'll become responsible for your clients and what they upload
ad nausem...
No thanks. I like the internet as it is.

I bet some water goes down into the Earth. I find it hard to believe that all of it gets evaporated into clouds/rain in a condensation cycle.
I bet gravity pulls a significant amount of it down into the ground(s), and into some sort of underground reservoir.
This is interesting none-the-less.

Any sport can be a spectator sport, if it's announced, covered and presented correctly.
Tell them to try a Mac.
Odds are they just don't want to use Windows.

He will continue work as usual doing great things for the NSA, DSA, et al.

The choice is easy:
If you're a liberal, pick Howard Stern.
If you're a conservative, pick Oprah.
Wow, your post looks remarkably well prepared for being FP.
Perhaps you're either:
A) the AC that posted it
B) a shill
C) a spammer
Here's what I think about your post:
A) it sucks
B) have a nice day
C) fuck your mother and A and B.
D) all of teh above
Quite to the contrary. He's clearly saved energy, he just hasn't saved any money.

You may want to separate your sentences with periods (or possibly colons), so people don't mistake 200fps with -200fps.
Just some -lame advice? Cool-

I'd like to know who the GOP Senators are. I love how the submitter only mentioned the Democratic Senators, and not the Republican ones.
DRM is definitely more of a Republican (protect the poor rich corporations) motive, than a Democrat one.

I'll clusty before I'll google. Clusty needs some tuning, but it picks up the far-web that google doesn't even parse.
