if a stealth jet can be brought down with mobile phone technology, it will be interesting to see what kind of countermeasures get used against this...such as a mirror maybe?
don't be silly... we ALWAYS reserve some of our hate for microsoft, and while i personally have nothing much against apple as a company (except they suck) i love poking sticks at the apple fanbois; they're a funny crowd.
The GOP majority will do whatever it can to kill Rand Paul's chance at the 2016 election (just like they did Ron's).
The only way he will have a chance is if an overwhelming majority of GOP supporters vote for him in the primaries so that no amount of corruption (that can be successfully hidden from the public eye) will be able to stop him.
I think Ron had a pretty good chance at the presidential nomination in 2012, and without GOP corruption he may have actually won the primaries, but in any case Rand will have the support of most of Ron Paul's fanatics as well as new support garnered between 2012 and 2016.
One problem is that many voters treat the election like a horse race; they think the aim is to pick the winner, rather than picking the guy that you think will run the country properly.
The GOP is lost, but so is the Democrats. Peter Schiff did a hilarious stunt at a Dems convention that is on Youtube.
i think son of ron paul will have a chance in 2016 because he will have the support of his father's followers, and the gop will try to censor him too but there is a point where the level of corruption required can't be hidden so they may not be able to stop him
you can be sure that president rand paul will be different but similar agenda to his old man. listening to him speak reveals aspects of ron.
not only that, you can be sure that ron will continue to advocate change for the better and he will no doubt be supporting rand and helping to drum up even more support for his nomination in 2016. maybe rand won't win in 2016, but 2020, 2024... the gop simply can't hold back libertarians forever. eventually the country will wake up and smell the shit on the bottom of the government boot doing everything it can to squash them into the dirt.
if they don't, they will be looking at a future as a developing nation, which for the rest of the world might not be so bad
also, if you look on youtube you can get a lot more info than what is (even remotely) possible from CNN and Fox
youtube and social media is how ron paul became so popular despite media ignorance (even youtube tried to censor videos about him, albeit unsuccessfully because of many duplications made under different accounts by various supporters)... and rand will be able to take advantage of that stage also
ron paul only lost the republican primaries because of corruption
rand will have a much better chance, because gop cronies won't be able to hide corruption on the scale required to hold back son of ron paul in 2016... rand is gaining popularity off the back of his old man, and that represents a large and passionate base of voters that will continue to increase in numbers, and as Keynesian idiocy continues to flop, sound Austrian economics will prevail... even if only to clean up the mess left by years of stimulus overdose
as president, ron paul would have the authority to repeal all national and homeland security presidential executive orders made in the past that are unconstitutional
he would also be in a much better position to lobby legislative branch members to pass bills and increase public awareness of the unconstitutionality of certain legislation so that voters can pressure their representatives to act
ron paul is a libertarian, which is more aligned with old school republican philosophy
any competitor has tool up and debug prototypes, at what turns out to be nearly similar costs
haha.... you're funny
try shopping at Aldi... a store that's chock full of ripoffs. even the packaging and "brand names" appear similar (but never identical) to legit equivalents.
his best case was to sit on his idea, and refuse to innovate, because there would be no possible way for him to recover any profit for the time he spent innovating
that's actually the scenario we find ourselves in at the moment
copyright and patent law are tools for big corporations, and that's about all
there isn't much incentive for the little guy to fork out his life savings to implement an idea that will be ripped off by some faceless multinational
if i manufactured a microchip that was hardwired to perform the same function as a piece of software (assume the next killer app for sake of argument), would that machine be unpatentable?
assuming it were patentable, could i then prevent others from implementing its functionality in software?
the problem is that when you talk about performing an algorithm mentally or on paper, you're clearly not talking about the majority of software because most people can't communicate with a computer monitor or across ethernet. most software patents aren't as simple as adding numbers together.
i personally think copyright and patents all suck... if they were all abolished, big companies would stop paying for ideas, but all the little people would rise up and create them instead. i don't care much for that smelly bearded guy, but what the gpl did for copyright was revolutionary.
Slashdot Mirror
he deserves a reward: blue crayons and a nice window to lick
it's also Uzbekistanian for "i want a free version of Windows"
we should all burn in hell for not referring to linux as gnu/linux... cos we all should know that it's the 'gnu' part that will get us laid
i think maybe he was talking about the microsoft standard
it's disturbing that you know such things
are you the recipient, or just some creepy weirdo watching through the curtain from a telescope in you're momma's house over the other side of the road?
yeah i can see how that would work... install package 'foo' (which depends on package 'bar'), open shell...
error: you only wanted to install foo, you didn't imply you wanted to actually run it
uh uh uh, you didn't say the magic word, uh uh uh
in all fairness, synaptic is included in ubuntu's parent, debian
the rest is fair enough :)
using ubuntu for a server is LAME

Well, I brought my dinosaur who eats laser sharks!
navy isn't interested in those... they don't work on the borg
more like google wanting the monopoly over user data
on the other hand, if the FBI offered to pay money for that data the flood gates would be thrown wide open

when they ban teaching of religion in schools is when they should ban evolution
regardless, they're probably teaching the kids that humans evolved from rattlesnakes so i can understand the concern
oh ok mr fun police... you must be from the tsa... total slashdot assholes
You tell 'em Judge Dredd!
