That's some serious flame bait you're kicking out there. I'll bite...
I currently live in one of those extravagantly wonderful semi-socialist countries that you oh-so loved back in the day (and yes, I am an American). Nice place, been here for 6 years. Seen a lot. Final Analysis? It's good to be an American overseas.
Since I've been here I've gone through brownouts galore, stuck living on a breaker that provides enough power for two high amp devices (Coffee Pot and Toaster), and now have the foresight to keep a fully charged flashlight on hand along with an umbrella in case of a thunderstorm.
The price for all this service? Let's just say that a modest electricity useage that would probably come under "hey, he's alive and moving" by utility companies in the states costs me roughly 120 dollars a month.
Of course, maybe I'm excluded from the community wealth of power flow due to the fact that I don't pay roughly 75-80 percent of my annual income back to the government in tax of some sort or antoher, but I doubt it.
I try not to knock overseas countries, and in all honesty, I like it where I'm at. I usually let little things like this slide, so I can actually experience what it is like to live in that country instead of saying "Wow, this sucks".
(The DIY comment was hilarious. My house, which meets standards, is run in series, with the kitchen being the last, and highest amp consuming area. that first few feet of wire sure gets hot.)
If the inward pressure is sufficiently powerful the star will begin to fuse higher elements (e.g. H+H=He, He+He=Li, etc.) and the outward pressure will exceed the inward pressure and in this case will result in a supernova destroying the star.
Not always... (Layman's terms incoming) A star basically starts out as a fusion/fission reactor. Fuse hydrogen into Helium, split Helium into Hydrogen, lather, rinse, repeat. Problem is while it takes a LONG time to actually see, stars can't continue this process forever. Eventually Helium overruns Hydrongen, and starts getting fused into the next element.
All these higher chain fusions generate energy for the star, albeit at a slightly higher cost. (Starts going to the next element faster, and faster, etc...) Until it either BLOWS, or gets to fusing to IRON...
Fusing to IRON doesn't produce energy, it Requires it. So, the star immediately condenses as it's gravity defeats outward pressure. This condenses the iron into an intensely packed ball that spins extremely rapidly. (Basically something the same mass as our sun packed into something as small as our moon)
These strange, peculiar, fast rotating magnetic objects act as radio beacons for the universe, perking receivers at radio telescopes for mere instants as the beam flashes by the earth... More Commonly known as pulsars.
You obviously have no idea what extremes people will go through to get something for "free".
In your perfect world, movies will suck, and be done only by people with no commercial motivation. (Hint: The Matrix movie was done because the people making it felt there was money to be had in doing so.) I.E. Non-mainstream movies will become THE mainstream. Which, of course means that the only movies you'll see will have some kind of "message" in them.
Music will not follow any of the normal rules of what is, and is not a hit. Which means that the basic building blocks for what we call music today will erode into something that sounds like Nine Inch Nails mixed with Sarah Maclaughlan. Horrible. And that'll just be the start. Do you like "acid techno"? It'll sound like that. Artists will not have any commercial motivation to create a song that is audibly pleasing, and will make what they want, without the studio time and budget that they would normally have. Have you actually heard garage music? It ain't clean sounding, I'll tell you that.
And as far as donations are concerned, If people don't have to pay for it, they usually won't. Which means if a movie or a song finds a billion pairs of eyes or ears, maybe 1000 people will donate a couple bucks. So artists will not do it "for the people". They will do it for themselves. The human race is generally not charitable unless confroted physically. Do you intend to have starving artists prowling the countryside looking for money?
So certainly, you can keep your idyllic world to yourself, thank you. My eyes, and ears will thank you for it.
Gee, our Slashdot readers literally pine for a similar setup within the community to combat spam, using items such as "trusted" lists, etc...
The whims and ideas of a these slashdotters still doesn't account for the fact that most of the load from SPAM still has to be handled by the carrier. First to store it in the mail server, then to delete it. AT&T is simply negating the need for those two steps.
Of course, some mail might not make it through. And of course some SPAM might make it through. But, given that spammers routinely forge headers, a simple query can block them.
For instance, Joe Spammer, who has an account at www.taiwanopenspam.com (or a cracked server) starts kicking out mass emails. He can't keep it up for long without forging his headers. When he does, a simple DNS lookup for www.forgedheader.net will either return a negative value (in which case the mail is blocked) or an IP address that does not show up on the whitelist, and is therefore, blocked.
After your webserver is configured, create a page that has technical information that geeks are interested in, and have a friend submit a story to slashdot about it.
Step 8b...
Sit back, and watch the blinking lights turn solid with activity, as your 14 registered users get dogpiled with 6099 anonymous slashdotters. Admire the wonderful smell of melting IC chips while looking for your warranty paperwork.
I thought they weren't supposed to allow child predators in schools.
I can see it now... teachers trying to express some kind of values system to a class either teeming with people whos every tantrum was rewarded with the object of desire to shut him/her up, or trying to preach that "stealing is wrong" to a class of poor, lower classed, gang ridden classmates.
You'll probably get maybe 3 or 4 people in a class (the ones I picked on in school) sitting there nodding their heads in agreement. The rest will sit through it like a high school trig class. Physically there, and barely that.
(Those students will probably be taken by RIAA and branded for later collection to go to their "gifted" classes)
I can't possibly see why casinos would want to attempt to put the few "scorers" out of commission. After all, a "lucky" guy at blackjack (who counts cards) probably brings more people in to play the game. More people= more money.
On top of all that, most professional card counters use the greatest weapon of all to count cards. Their heads. So, all this will do is to put out the small time amateurs.
A friend of mine is a tech at a Casino in Detroit, and beleive me, any appropriately sized/layed out Casino is certainly not losing money, regardless of the people who play the game to earn a wage.
Praise be to our "step backwards" regime, for today, in 2008, a brand new technology has been revealed to us, the people of the world.
It has been discovered that by using a sheet, or other covering, disruptions can be made in the smoke that comes from burning uncured/wet materials. These distruptions, when agreed upon in a certain format, can be used to communicate messages great distances.
The Berkely campus was set ablaze today by techno geeks attempting to create the first "smokey net". MIT students held a joyful party claiming "It's the first method created that you HAVE to let the smoke out to use!"
Of course, being an emerging retro technologie, it is not without it's limitations. Currently there is no capability for P2P or Secure networks, shy of committing genocide on a grand scale.
SCO International Dominion Corporation, in response to this announcement, stated "That's actually OUR wireless communications system, and we want royalties. As our evidence will certainly show, we introduced the genetic make up of trees, and it was US, not prometheus, who gave fire to the masses. Of course, we will not disclose this evidence at the time. But it's mine... gimme!
Is there any way I can get a rental price of a uterus with a "utility room"? I'm willing to provide my own plumbing, and I'm more than willing to pay quite a bit of the rent in advance. I just need something that's nice and cozy, but gives me the option of expanding if I feel the need.
Wooo! Man, I'm so glad you got a chance to sample "real american" life at a university!
I lived in Europe (still do) for 6 years.
I lived in the states for 21 years.
The obvious flaw in your logic is that somehow by applying my "Violence" works law, that the population will continue to trend along an upwards scale. I can assure you, if my "kick their ass" approach actually sees the light of day, that trend will dip sharply in the opposite direction, thusly providing for far more resources for the remaining "herd". Therefore, Violence has yet another good use. This list of mine keeps growing. Thanks.
Keep arguing my point for me Mr. "I'm a cultured (another word for rotten) world citizen.
I am a self righteous prick. I am one of those American "Assholes". I can be. Cause I've got a bigger gun than you.
I am nationalistic. I support the extension of U.S. goals, and views throughout the world, through various means.
See, we tried it the "european way" with cruise missiles, and sanctions, and all that other "cultured" bullshit. (Sour Cream is cultured too, doesn't mean it's not just bad fucking milk)
This way is a lot better. Faster results, less U.N., More Poles.
There is plenty of logic. Your just too busy being sour cream to see that violence has it's place, and in most cases, there is nothing like a swift kick in the ass to get your point across.
If Darwin is right, and we are descendents from other animals, then Violence is the ONLY law we've followed since the dawn of time. Because it works a whole lot better than your alternatives.
Don't blame our strong businesses, will to succeed, and desire for the best on your countries inadequacies.
You would be far better off wasting your time petitioning your own countries government (if you can do such a thing without getting shot) to upgrade your military.
And let us just see how far this whole "liberation" thing goes...
We liberated Europe in the 1940's, gave it all back, AND introduced the Marshall plan to get them back on their feet and producing again.
We liberated countless islands and land from the Japanese, including the Japanese Mainland. And we sunk hard dollars into their country to help them out.
In fact, every single time the U.S. has planned, and implemented a "liberation" of a country, it has turned out for the betterment of those people.
The only other governing agency that can even try to claim the same is the U.N. and let's see what kind of blunders they pulled...
1. Bosnia. Still a shithole, I've been there. 2. Kosovo. Corruption city, thanks to the U.N. 3. Somalia. Still in a state of civil war. Gutting our rangers by not allowing U.S. heavy armor, or gunships is one of the main reasons for the atrocities there.
In fact, one could say that the U.S. has the Midas Touch when it comes to liberating countries. The U.N. is just too busy listening to everyone to actually make a difference.
That's because we train the hardest, equip the best, have people with real morals in charge of those troops, and have an actual desire to see things through to the end.
As far as the "there isn't a country strong enough" statement, that's fine. If you want to take that stance, then let your countries servicemen die. I'll vote to bring ours home sans the pine box, thank you very much.
I always found that my Vinyl always performed a little better after I used some New Finish 2001 or Armor All on it. Of course, sometimes those cigarrete burnholes can be a pain in the ass... I just take a little sandpaper, and a vinyl repair kit to those, and it fixes them right up.
The use of the "overrated" moderation is to indicate that you feel that the moderators who have come and gone have somehow given too high a rating to a post.
What it is not there to do, is to moderate down a post that sits at it's current score by it's own merit... (Score of 1, or 2 through higher Karma scores).
To effectively, correctly moderate the post down, it would have to be rated as offtopic (which it is) inflammatory (which it probably was as well), Inappropriate, etc... Those are all valid reasons for moderating an initial score down.
How can you possibly rate a comment as "overrated" when there hasn't been any rating done to that post yet? I could see "Offtopic" or something to that tune, but for fucks sakes, think about the what your trying to say...
Saying "I think the people who NEVER moderated this story Overrated it." is pretty stupid, isn't it? Hello? Is this thing on? (Tap Tap Tap)
