"Actually almost no one dances sober, unless he has gone crazy"
The last sentence I find amusing: "Itâ(TM)s hard to know that you sat in her class for an hour and a half a day and for her to feel that way it is like, it is an awful feeling." Welcome to the real world. My managers think the same of me and all us engineers (and try to squeeze as many unpaid hours as possible from us).
I have 500 gigabytes of torrented songs & approximately 700 movies on my USB drive, and not one file uses those codecs.
So I could care less if IE supports them.
- Hitler drug people out of their homes & jailed them based upon race. - FDR drug people out of their homes & jailed them based upon race. Not an exact fit, but close enough to make the "fuhrer" comparison for both men. Actually a closer comparison would probably be FDR and Mussolini, or FDR and Julius Caesar, but whatever. This is just a web forum, not a thesis paper. .

Interesting. Where would you put someone like Thomas Jefferson who thought government should be the size of a thimble? (i.e. small and weak) It doesn't seem to fit into your scale because you have Big government on both ends of your left/right scale.
You're mistaken. I've taken history courses about the war. Hitler had full control of industry and ordered the factories to full mobilization several times. Then when he achieved an objective, like conquering Poland, he ordered them back to normal hours.
Private industry but under the control of a large, over-arching central government, is what the national socialists were all about. It is just one step short of Leftist communism (no private ownership). Communists and Nazis are both left on the political scale. Both support massive, massive governments.
Leftist philosophy: - Large centralized government. Check - Social programs for the citizens like free healthcare, retirement benefits. Check. - Suppression of the individual in favor of the greater good of society. i.e. Collectivism. Check. - Government ownership, or control of, the means of production. Check. - Yep the German National Socialists, and the Italian National Socialists, and the Spanish Nazi Socialists were ALL leftists. They were side-by-side with the communists, but less extreme (they didn't outlaw private land ownership).
In contrast an American "right" philosophy suppresses the government, makes it as small as possible, and limits the actions it can do (either via a constitution or tradition). Examples include the Democrat-Republicans formed by Jefferson/Madison, and the Libertarian party more recently. Also the anarchist party (there's nothing smaller than no government).
Left = Supersize government. Right = Supertiny government Present = half way between the two extremes
I think it's a good idea in general, to provide the option to not be tracked. Q: "Why are we doing this?" A: "We recognize that some users are uncomfortable with the personalization of ads that they see on the web."
I don't mind personalized ads. Just yesterday I was looking at Banquet Homestyle Meals, and about an hour later, slashdot sent me a personalized ad to the same thing, on sale, at Meijers. It was one of those rare cases where I was glad to see the advertisement, since it was showing me what I was looking for.
Japan has countryside? I figured it would be all urban... or close to it... due to the high population density. For example: Most of the I95 corridor from Boston to Richmond is considered "urban" and I suspect most of Japan is too.
As for the size of the US it makes a lot more sense to compare it to other continent-spanning federations, rather than a tiny island. When you do that, the US is in second place after Russia. It is ahead of the European Union, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and China.
If anything this will have a NEGATIVE net impact on the US anime industry as a whole.
Doubtful. People will still be able to watch the fansubbed anime --- they just won't be doing it from the Nagano Shashoto(sp?) Export company which the Japan Supreme Court banned. Instead they'll use torrent or Usenet groups.
I have 3 separate accounts. (1) Hotmail that dates back to my college days (mid-90s) when I accessed my Penn State account from home, and drug the emails into hotmail for review. (2) Yahoo which I use constantly for almost everything. (3) Googlemail which I've tried several times but never really liked (the overlapping folders/letters feel cluttered), but still keep open in case I need it.
Anyway: I don't think there's anything wrong with my ancient Hotmail account. If I had not needed a yahoo account circa 2000, I'd probably still be using the hotmail. I follow the policy "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" as do most people and that's probably why they still have accounts there. (And also because Microsoft recommends it - many people just use he defaults their computer came with... like IE and WMP.)
Still haven't played it. Instead of wasting $50 a pop buying the latest Nintendo, Sony, or Xbox shit, I should be going back and playing all the 8 and 16 bit classics.
EU Enforced Human Rights (part of lisbon Treaty) that supercede the Hungarian government's suppression of the press:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. this right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers."
The wikileaks documents showed Hillary was stealing credit card numbers from foreign diplomats Is that not corruption? WikiLeaks also shows the American and European governments used money, threats, secrecy, and even espionage to advance their 'climate' agenda at the COP15 global-warming summit in Copenhagen last year.
About a month ago the White House called TRUtv and told them to stop airing Governor Ventura's show about FEMA internment camps* on TV or their website. TRUtv complied since they were also told if they don't cooperate they'd be audited by the IRS. It makes me wonder if Amazon is under similar pressure: "Pull wikileaks or else we'll quit using your cloud services and audit you."
That's right. The People have no business knowing what the unelected civil servants are doing in conquered Poland, or why there are trains of mental patients & criminals being taken there for "resettlement".
Only because many people die before they reach the Age to accept medicaid (or social security). So basically they've paid-in tens-of-thousands of dollars, and got nothing in return. If they were accounted for, the Medicaid's efficiency would be just 60%.
>>>Christ was supportive of the host government, and encourages us to pay our taxes accordingly.
By that logic the Nazi soldiers that attempted to overthrow Hitler were sinners, because they ignored Jesus' word. Jesus said pay taxes, but never said you should bow to a tyrant that is suppressing people, or steal money from your neighbors' wallets to go buy yourself a new car (cash for clunkers).
Yeah it's bad to generalize. Like the KKK - sure 99% of them are haters, but there's still that 1% that ain't bad so to say "KKK member suck" is just uncalled for. Same applies to members of the Church of "burn gays burn!". 1% of them are a-okay.
POINT: You are judged by the assholes you associate with; don't cry foul if you associate with a Church that has a history of hate, inquisition, imprisonment of scientists like Galileo, and so on.
Why not? What crime has been committed by looking at 4chan.com from the privacy of your home? The concept is as ridiculous as saying I should not be allowed to smoke marijuana or walk around naked*. My actions harm no one but myself.
* *Only control freaks (or religious nuts) would disagree. Which is why in Virginia a man was arrested for being naked in his own home. Dumbass anti-freedom politicians

i.e. I think your scale is flawed.

Agreed. Just as corn/sugar can be converted into ethanol, or soybeans into biodiesel, this too can be considered a renewable fuel.

Precisely.
The fat laptop works even if the hotel has no connection, or has a slow 50k connection. The thin client will not.
