When the plebes suck down bullshit excuses for war, scream that they want their gods mixed in with science, and show themselves to be unable to even balance a check book...
It's always been that the intellectual has been only tollerated by the superstitious American public. Now the sky-worshippers are stepping up the hate and blaming it on the 'elites' who's hard gave these "don't need no science" slobs the lifestyles they so covet.
It worked because 200 years ago the only people who had say in gov't were wealthy white land owning men. A fairly homogeneous class that didn't have too many internal divisions. Now-a-days we have a huge spectrum of voters which makes it much harder to agree on anything.
I ignore any child that I do not personally already know. The 'sex offender' laws and the shrill cries of helicopter parents have caused this. I'm not getting accused of being sex offender (which will stick with me even if exonerated on court) because someone's un-minded child said hello to me. Likewise, I'm not helping any child I don't know if they appear to be in trouble. I will call 911 and watch, but I'm not getting involved. It's the only safe way to be an adult male in US society.
If you don't NEED 1080p then you don't NEED 720p either. 480i should be good enough for everyone:) And besides, I'm used to 1080i because that's the resolution of many of the HD channels that appear on my cable box.
The tech is not yet baked for high quality video on demand IMO.
Because the regulations over the last few decades very rarely favor the regular citizen and quite often favor the wealthy corporation.
It all comes down to the deplorable idea of corporate personhood which allows these organizations to buy laws. Of course when the PEOPLE get together in groups to take back their government...they're radicals:)
He puts up with ads in a print mag because his money pays for the ink and paper and the ads pay for the content. He means that if an electronic magazine had ads, he'd expect to get the magazine for free. The reason being that the ads pay for the content and the user pays for the delivery mechanism. He's already paid for delivery of his electronic book when he bought the reader and downloaded the content. He paid for the delivery of the paper mag content when he drove to the store and paid for the bound paper and ink.

Pants-shitting cowards afraid of gay marriage, pot, change and any boogeyman they learn about so long as it can be 'fought' by the military. The boogeyman of climate change is of course not real because tanks and guns cannot stop it in any way.
Liberals won't cut social spending for fear of Americans starving because they have no money for food conservatives won't cut military spending for fear of attacks by groups against which traditional military is fairly useless.
It's all fear. We need to harden the fuck up as a country.
Back in the bad old Bronze Age, maybe they had merit.
Today with refrigeration? I eat raw sushi all the time. Incest has also been identified as 'not that bad'. The more we learn, the less these simplistic rules apply.
Taboos are just the antiquated ideas that helped an ancient culture get by...they become increasingly irrelevant in our modern science-based society if you ask me.
The recovered money from polluters doesn't just vanish you know. It is spent to improve technology.
Oh and please...don't cry about carbon offsets off-shoring jobs...greedy corporations who don't care about the citizens that helped them grow to their current status and those who cry for more deregulation of industry are behind the off-shoring.
Remember...when you shop at Wal*Mart you're effectively telling CEOs: Outsource more jobs! I want cheap prices and damn the non-dollar costs! Oh wait, where's my job? Obama, please make me a new job! I hate socialism but you owe me a job!
People who are so narcissistic that they can't imagine a universe without themselves as the center, and those cowards who cannot face their own death, invent religions out of whole cloth to 'explain' why they are so great and to give themselves comfort. These concepts are divisive and yet there is no taboo against 'tards who think they'll live forever with their magical sky daddy.
I think the 'existence of taboos as evidence of wrongness' idea is wrong.
Except you can't try the whole thing, only a part. No thanks, I'll pass and let reviews and traditional demos help me choose which game (with an up-front full cost) I want to play.
I want to know so I can never do business which such a shoddy shop. My company has strict SOD and we enforce it through tooling. We have three groups: Development, Test, Operations. I'm on development side so I check builds and docs into the source code control system. Test pulls it out, applies it to the test environment, runs tests. Test then passes the code and documentation to operations who updates any configuration parameters that differ between test and production systems and installs it with the rest of us standing by on a chat in case anything goes wrong.
So you're the developer who doesn't think about logging, security or any other kind of operational issue when you develop? Sounds like your company has you in the right box.
I inherited a bunch of apps that had atrocious logging practices. They were inter-twined and when a problem arose, it was very difficult to PD. Management didn't care to spend money adding some log statements, it was good enough. SOX forced us to place logging statements at system boundries. This wasn't a complete logging overhaul but it really did help with future PD.
Well the baseboard heaters in my 60-year-old home haven't leaked yet...so I'm not so concerned about that issue. Maybe the modern under-floor systems are prone to leakage, but the tech I have seems bullet-proof. If you need AC then forced air is your only hope...but we are cool with a well-shaded lot and a window unit or two.
Ew, forced air? What a pain that is. I'm all about radiant hot water heat these days. You don't have to worry about mold and pathogens in your ductwork.

If the average blue-collar idiot is so smart, why do they so embrace religion which is circular logic and conflict of interest at its very core?
They take a poor analogy and run with it, and when the extrapolated analogy does not match the science, these retards start screaming.
Sounds like you've accepted 'micro evolution' but have not yet embraced 'macro evolution'.

When you cast a vote in a two party system, that's when you lose for sure.

You don't NEED a 720p movie either. Way to apologize for a shit technology.

It's the term favored by my organization, so I use it often and it has become habit.
And PD is shorter than Troubleshoot anyway. Who doesn't know PD means Problem Determination? Given the context of the post it seemed pretty obvious.

First the Catholics with child rape, now the Scientologists with slavery and human trafficking.
Any wagers on which one true religion will be busted next?
Yeah, I point the case fans at my feet in the winter time!
