A DMCA takedown requires making a declaration under penalty of perjury, which you cannot legally do unless you understand the meaning of the declaration. This seems to suggest that monkeys cannot file DMCA takedowns, however easy they are to generate. They'd need to employ a lawyer to do it for them. And working for monkeys should be no problem to the kind of lawyer that will work for, say, the RIAA.
That's it! I really must protest you and GP's libelous remarks about monkeys! Monkeys form communities. They look out for each other and care about the social groups they form. They lament the loss of their loved ones. Do lawyers or the RIAA do any of this???
So again, why would DPRK quitting the UN be a bad thing?
Well, as I understand it, Kim il Jong is not long for this world (thankfully). Maybe his son will be more reasonable? Or, at least we can start on him early and try to do better with the next generation of North Koreans. Plus, the North Korean citizens growing up now are part of what is called "the stunted generation" due to the food shortages in the 90's. Despite desperate flag waving, some of them probably realize it is not America's fault that they grew up so severely malnourished.
It is a slave state, where the population is callously used up as so many food powered robot slaves.
And don't forget the concentration camps in North Korea. If you don't show the utmost fealty to the Great Leader, or if you defect, your whole family will be sent to one to work as slaves until they die. That's one of the reasons defections are so rare. That, and to get through the electric fences separating North and South, you need two people willing to defect. One of the two will almost invariably be electrocuted trying to get through the electrified wires.
Booming middle class? How exactly does the middle class boom when everything they buy costs 20, 30, 40% more (or worse) because of all the taxes being passed down to them by the corporations?
Any time you want to figure out answers on corporate taxes, ask yourself a very simple question: who pays for any and all costs incurred by any given company?
(hint: its customers)
So, what you are saying then, is that the whole Capitalist notion of price competition is a lie???
The only people who dont seem to understand this are the tea-baggers, but I don't find that particularly surprising, since their total understanding of economics is, "Taxes Bad."
WTF have tea-baggers got to do with economics or politics? Is it really true the USA now has a political movement devoted to tea-bagging?
It's not the goal of Tea Party Republicans to get re-elected. The majority of them are operatives for the Tea Party, which is controlled by militia operatives. They want to overthrow the US government itself even if it means launching a civil war.
They are deliberately trying to create an economic crisis because that is the best way to trigger a civil war. They already have the guns, they have the organization(militias) built up, they are ready. The sad thing is most American citizens aren't ready for it or don't want it. But when enough American citizens lose their careers, their jobs, and have no government benefits whatsoever to count on, no unemployment, no welfare, no food stamps, no anything, then the militias can give them one last job.
It's a recruitment tactic. The US government uses the same tactic of sanctions when it wants to overthrow a dictator. It's also because the Tea Party militias are tired of funding the government which is trying to investigate and crush them despite the fact that they've infiltrated the US government and control many politicians, there are still FBI agents who want to crush the Tea Part movement or any extremist movement that seeks to violently overthrow the government or cause a civil war.
Well, I have an idea. The Tea Party supporters who don't already live in the Southeastern United States (aka The Confederacy) can all move there and let the people who don't want to be a part of it emigrate to another part of the country. Then, the Southeast can secede from the Union again. I swear, we won't stop you this time!
Yeah! The US should start sending aid to Pakistan and Afghanistan, and help get them on back their feet so they can take care of themselves! Why has no-one thought of this before?!
Try talking to people who have actually been to Afghanistan to:rebuild". What we are doing there is a joke and only for show. Afghanistan is the same shit hole we and the Soviet Union left it. (In Soviet Russia, Osama bin Laden fights YOU!)
I can't believe you and I are the only 2 people in this entire thread who can see this for what it is -- legal pictures of people in public used for art. This guy should get a pro bono constitutional lawyer and sue his way into enough money for his next exhibition.
So, if I follow you around, take pictures of your every move, and upload it to the internet, that would be okay??? Just because you are in public doesn't mean it's okay to have your every move tracked. Perhaps at this point in time it is technically legal, but that is not how it should be in a civilized society.
I wonder if their is any "expectation of privacy" when you walk in to a shop and use device laid out for the public?
The problem is that "reasonable expectation of privacy" goes back to the old film camera days where it is hard to perform mass surveillance. Shouldn't there be a reasonable expectation to not have my every movement logged and uploaded for the whole world to see? For those of us who have had to deal with psychos in our lifetime, it would be nice not to have to worry about it made easy for them to hunt me down. And that doesn't even get into idea of overzealous police officers who disapprove of "those" people and want to find some excuse to have them arrested.
No, they should be disbanded and we should go back to the old security methods. They are clearly just security theater.
Yes, just like the East German government thought "You know, this whole STASI thing is getting out of hand. Maybe we should replace it with an organization that is at least mildly sane, instead of one that frigging suspects *everyone* and even takes smell samples in case the hounds need them!" I wonder how that worked out...
You mean there's a single source of news without a political agenda ? Which one ?
Too bad for them they didn't just hack a republican's email address, that would have brought them heaps of praise.
There is a world of difference between having a political agenda and deliberately lying and distorting the news. In the first, you describe things from your own biased point of view. In the latter, you actually make shit up. It's like the difference between a witness in court that tells a story from his/her own particular viewpoint and a witness that actually commits perjury. Most news sources are like the witnesses telling their accounts from their own viewpoints. Fox "News", on the other hand, is the perjurer.
I agree. Don't fuck around with situations like this. Losing a loved one can be very painful for some people and to have shit like this going on only makes it worse. Unfortunately, the way the justice system works, nothing will probably happen besides a couple of news articles.
Yeah, it would be a real shame if the parents were so distraught this happened that they took a chainsaw to the reporters responsible. I'm just saying...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greenland_Gisp2_Temperature.svg
1000AD, Greenland was 1.5 K (2.7 degrees F) warmer than today, which is 0.5K (0.9 degrees F) warmer than 1900.
Perhaps it was propaganda, or maybe they were able to make things grow there. They managed in Norway and Sweden, after all.
It was propaganda, dumbass. 1.5 degrees difference in climate in a frozen wasteland is not going to make it a farmer's paradise. Plus, I notice the graph you cite shows temperatures were actually 1.5 degrees colder (learn to read a graph), but that was 10.5k years before 1950. It only shows about 1 degree warmer in around 950 AD (1000 years before 1950). In any event, the temperatures shown on the graph range from -33 degrees to -28 degrees (gee, crank up the AC!).
All I can conclude from this is you are either (a) a piece of shit shill, (b) a willfully ignorant dumbass, or (c) both. I'm betting on (c) since even a moderately intelligent shill would have enough sense not to lie so transparently.
Every time there is a heat wave, the AGW people come crawling out of the woodwork to claim victory.
Then, why don't you try to read actual scientific research on the subject, instead of listening to idiotic politics? You claim to have a degree in physical chemistry, though your posts certainly throw that into doubt. As an aside, if you really do have that degree, please let us all know the university you attended so we can *not* go there or send our children^W^W^W^W(sorry, this is slashdot). If you really are a physical chemist, why are you wasting your time following the bullshit politics about this subject? Find out what's going on the real research world.
You will be the first to burn. People who state that the last decade was the warmest, check out Greenland; was called that for a reason some time ago.
Yes, it was for propaganda purposes. You call the worst shit hole something nice so people will want to go there, or at least think it is not so bad. Like Hohenschönhausen, or Happy Valley, Pennsylvania.
What I want to know is—and I'm just asking questions here—what I want to know is, why hasn't Rupert Murdoch come forward to disprove that he's a foreigner out to destroy America? I mean, why hasn't Murdoch released his long-form birth certificate to show us that he's not a foreigner out to destroy America? Doesn't it concern you that Rupert Murdoch, who owns so much American media, might be a foreigner out to destroy America? I'm just asking, you do the homework: judge for yourself whether Rupert Murdoch is a foreigner out to destroy America.
I also heard that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1991. Or, was that Glenn Beck? Well, it's just a rumor I heard anyway...
Riiiiiiiiiggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhtt,the Chinese are way ahead. After all, they have rovers on Mars, orbiters at Mercury & Saturn, a probe heading to Pluto. and two probes entering interstellar space.
Oh wait, whups,sorry about that
Well, there are a lot of Chinese men in orbit around your mom.

But a DMCA takedown is a lot easier, clearly.

But on the other hand, there does eventually come a point where failure has dragged on long enough that one must consider changing their approach.
Sounds like my first wife!

It's related to the "Invisible Hand".
If you tax the hell out of the biggest corporations and wealthiest individuals, what do you think happens?
We wind up with the kind of booming middle class and first-world infrastructure we had during the 50's to 70's?

And we're also *this close* to winning the war on drugs...
Unless you want to try and make a case for terrorist groups having strength from drug sales, that's an irrelevant conclusion.

Hate the game, not the player. More specifically, hate the system, and those who created it, and made the rules. This means Republicans and Democrats.
No, hate the players because they are the ones making the rules to the game by bribing our (well, supposedly our) politicians.
