Thanks for proving my point. The "counterfeit coin" is the false premise that the individual exists to serve the collective. The "parties" only differ in how they want to waste the wealth they steal by force. You support the Democrat party and oppose the Republican party, but in the long run it doesn't matter which party prevails because both of them are pursuing the same immoral agenda and America will continue to decline because of it.
The Democrat and Republican parties are the two sides of a counterfeit coin. Heads? they win, tails? we lose. Their core agenda is unified, and they have perfected the art of keeping half the country fighting the other half to support it.
I'm waiting for an ex-Professional wrestler to show up with magic sunglasses (I won't fight it, I'll put them on right away).
Please define the term "fact" without using the words "fact" or "opinion" in your definition.

Seriously. The toolset sucks. None of the major FOSS projects even know or care if their projects will build on AIX anymore, including (most importantly for me) the CPAN (CPAN testers haven't tested CPAN builds on AIX for years as far as I can tell). The command line utilities have feature sets from like 1976, so you have to install a bunch of GNU packages if you want to get anything done. The best part, IBM will happily sell you a pile of AIX hardware and promise you that the millions of bucks you're getting ready to spend for software to run on it will be well-spent, then you'll find out that half the stuff has never been tested in the real world.
Fact is, in the time I spent working on (struggling with?) AIX recently I saw little evidence that IBM is putting any resources into AIX.
Double-digit inflation would qualify as "change," as would Global Thermonuclear War. Change is the one thing we can count on, and promising it is like promising tomorrow's sunrise. Try promising improvement and you'll get my attention.
No, this was probably a decision made by someone who manages what they don't understand and can't be bothered to learn.
I think you just described most of the people in management in American corporations. I hope the number is better elsewhere, but I doubt it. Until we stop chug-a-lugging the "stupid people can manage anything without knowing anything about it" Kool-Aid we're going to keep suffering the same failures. How long can America survive when the smart people stay on the sidelines building wealth and leave the idiots to run everything?

Please, for the love of God, if you're going to name a piece of software, use some made-up, bullshit name that doesn't produce over 3-fucking-million hits on google.
That usage may have appeared circa 1675 describing the activities of unscrupulous publishers, but it was no less hyperbole then than it is now. Fell didn't call these printers "thieves, rapists and murderers" but he deliberately used a term that evoked images of thievery, rape and murder to describe people who were only accused of making copies of others' written words against their wishes. I suspect he did this for the same reason that people do it today, to convey outrage through exaggeration.
The battle against the usage may be tilting at windmills, but there's certainly no harm in pointing out that copyright is a totally arbitrary law and that making a copy of information against the wishes of the original author or his representatives deprives no one of the use of his property and does not result in death, loss of virtue or destruction.
I am SICK of the poverty pimps of America describing the "plight" of the American poor. With very little effort, and one can get a job, find a place to stay, and have a life, as evidenced by the MILLIONS of Latinos streaming across the boarder to take jobs that no American wants.
And I am SICK of the "jobs that no Americans want" mantra. There is some truth to the mantra (lies usually have to be plausible to be believed) but the fact is that the market for low-end jobs is being shaped by a large population of people who are in the states in violation of the law. It may be true that there is a large population of lazy, welfare-addicted losers who won't mow a lawn or work in a kitchen, but the notion that there are jobs that no American wants is pure political bullshit. All those "jobs that no Americans want" were filled by Americans just a few years ago.
What a society deems acceptable, or what it considers an individual's fundamental right, is based on it's culture and historic experience.
You fail. Our rights are determined by our nature, and it is our nature to defend our lives, liberty and property. Put simply (paraphrasing someone) "Your right to swing your arms ends where my nose begins." As soon as you accept the redefinition of this concept you become a slave to the mob and open yourself up to the same horrors that befell Germany in the 30s and 40s.
Not only do census takers ask questions to which they are not entitled answer--by any stretch of the Constitution--they store the information on laptops that any recently-fired hamburger flipper fucktard can walk around with and lose or trade for a couple rocks of crack.
We recently discovered a burning pile of personal effects next to the dumpster at the office. The items included a purse, wallet with some ID, personal mail, make-up and work clothing and name badge (from a local restaurant). Naturally, we called the police. The officer arrived, poked around a little bit with his foot, then turned around to get back into his car and leave. Incredulous, we asked what he was doing and why he wasn't collecting what was obviously evidence of some kind of criminal activity and he told us that "the detectives wouldn't like it he brought the material back to the station because it would get the other evidence dirty."

They COULD, but we'd never know about it.
Meet the new authoritarian sociopath...
...Same as the old authoritarian sociopath.
Nerd high five.
Awesome mixing of metaphors. You should write for SNL.
Thanks again.

There is no such thing as a bogus fact.

I'm sure the Daleks are behind this.
They're not stocking the G1 in retail stores in areas where there is no 3G coverage, but you can order them online.

Do I actually believe what, exactly? What I wrote, or your mischaracterization of it?
