Amen. As long as capitol gains remain relatively untaxed in comparison to middle class america's tax rate then we should be able to at least increase base tax rate on the people most capable of paying it. And don't start in with that "punishing the 'job creators'" bullshit. More american jobs are lost in the interest of increasing revenue than because of any kind of taxes.
yeah voter turnout is real great when you get the votes for everyone, not just the people that voted for you as well as disallowing people to vote against you to vote at all.
Not because they are better, but because their staff is smarter and more risk averse. They already have the best ratings, why risk it.
That is a good point, why should they risk it? If you're winning by a long shot, why cheat especially if no one cares whether or not you are reporting actual facts or just "entertainment" not meant to be taken as facts or news.
The driver of a car is not necessarily always the one with the suspended license. Would you have police pull over someone just because they might have a suspended license? What if you are having your friend, spouse, or significant other drive you around in your car due to a suspended license. Pulling that car over for a possible violation is a punative action against the vehicle and a person that is acting perfectly responsible. Also, I don't know where you live, but the police in my state don't keep a record of who does or does not have insurance on a car. Just because an individual has at one point was driving without insurance does not mean they are eternally doing so and should not be persecuted as such. I don't understand how you are making the correlation between harrassing people as if they are guilty until proven innocent and the safeness of a given stretch of road.
a self-regulatory network. Just like the wall street bankers want to be self-regulatory or allow the market to be self-regulatory. It's all the same bullshit.
Not so much that they don't have anything better to do, more that they are getting more money to chase copyright bullshit than to deal with real crime because there just isn't as much money in it for their congress critters.
Next thing you're gonna suggest is some kind of "Mutant Registration Act" then perhaps funding for a "Sentinal" program to oversee that none of these "mutants" get out of hand.
This is not exclusively a federal problem either. I work for a state government agency and a certain company (lets just call them Smell) offers computers on a state contract that are so woefully overpriced and underpowered that it's amazing we can even run a lot of the modern GIS applications at all. We recently procured a number of PC's on this contract and apparently the Dept of Admin chump that negotiated the contract was really please because he got them to shave $200 off the cost of the systems so they were only charging us $700 for a $300 unit instead of $900. Yeah the state is to blame for putting no IT people in purchasing and procurement roles and rewarding them for bad decisions, but these companies taking advantage of the government is unethical at best and criminal at worst.
Remember what Ben Franklin said about security. If you're willing to give up your freedom for security, you don't deserve either. By Franklin's logic, Apple users deserve nada.
I have always felt this way. "It just works" is a good way to describe the way the Burmese regime works. Of course it just works, there is not allowed to be any dissention among the ranks. If the large population of iDiots that purport to have superior products, security, etc ad nauseum actually looked at everything they were giving up just to have their comfy blanket of apple security, they'd be a little disappointed.
The key word being "myth" which is what the creationists are loathe to admit about their own way of thinking. That was my the FSM mythos was created, to point out the absurdities. Teaching creationism as a myth is totally acceptable, but a lot of these a-holes want it taught as a plausible alternative to hard science.
That is a good point, but if you don't need those things then it is a very good substitute for standard cable tv. I get all of my news on-line and am not a fan of watching sports on tv.
Excellently stated sir. You can clearly see a large amount of bile on both sides of this issue, but the greatest out pouring seems to be when you challenge the key point to the "MacLife" concept that they are indeed savvy consumers.
It's not required, but it is certainly encouraged. Anytime you introduce and element of good vs evil you will have judgement. Usually the good judging the evil since that is what they do best. Us vs Them is a time honored tactic to control and manipulate the masses.
More than expensive is that actual security is inconvenient to most users which makes it much less attactive to managers only concerned with keeping people happy over keeping your data safe. You can have a safe network environment, or you can have an easy to use network environment but you can't have both. In a safe environment you may have to provide excessive logins and not be able to use your fancy Iphone on the companies network, but you don't have to worry about your data or your customers data compromised, or you can surf where ever you want and connect whatever handheld device you own to the network and have your company network down for weeks at a time because 1 manager thinks it may be nice or "politically advantageous" to open up facebook use while at work.
Copyright SWATs are only working in the interest of the corporations, not the general public, therefore copyright SWATs aren't working to deter an actual problem, just a noisome behaviour.
I'm not sure how that differs form our current POTUS, or the one before him, or the one before him, or the one before him, or any other POTUS I can think of ever.[Citation needed]
I'd like to see a specific example of this that wasn't a throwback to the neo-con abortion we just emerged from.

The leading repliblican presidential candidate Governor Mitt Romney. Oh the Irony.
Pfft, I laugh at your pathetic iPad. The only Apple product worth taking out in public is an iPad2. Thus says our lord Steve Jobs *Peace be upon Him*
Yeah except that Humans and T-Rexs never co-existed so there's that.

Yes, exactly like the 6 week investigation that the police did in my town on whether the local titty bars were violating the nudity ordinance.
On top of that the grammar and spelling errors could cause a total systems meltdown, let alone the logistical fallacies.
