As far as I can see both you and he have valid points. The government does serve in a protective capacity for the poor, and the government does abuse its powers, sometimes leading to wars in the case of the US. The correct answer of course is a middle ground, controlling the government and restraining the abuses while encouraging the equalising and protective ability for the poor. Note that means the poor, not the unionised public sector, which has proven itself very capable of holding entire countries to ransom over a paycheque.
This is quite a compicated feat and needs to be done from within the system, which is why it's popular with neither adrenaline-addicted extreme, but it remains the right course of action.
And nevermind that Singapore is a huge port into Asia and often a stopover or destination.
Surely you mean Hong Kong? Or Manila? The Lion City treads a very fine line at the best of times lah, if they insist on acting like a tinpot dictatorship they will most assuredly be treated as such.
The world needs Singapore a lot less than Singapore needs the world.
On the other hand the way that you interact with your email and how you categorize and prioritize it (did you find that "mark as important" feature useful?) tells so much more about you.
Your weak link here is I don't want to tell some megacorp more about me.
You don't need a full piece of DNA, just lots of small pieces you can combine into a full one. While I appreciate that posting on/. gives you the ability to second guess any amount of considered research and scientific understanding, from time to time reality does kick in.
Yeah vampires need to be afraid of religious icons. I'll always remember that scene in Salem's Lot where the vampire challenges the priest to get into a faith-off, then crushes the crucifix. Powerful stuff.
Amstrad CPC6128. I have vague memories of some character in a magazine calling himself "the hairy hacker" too, you don't get columns like that anymore.
There may be some sort of 'ability to enter into legally binding contracts' thing going on. But seriously just hold the payment till he turns 18. Happy birthday kid!
People make things so hard for themselves sometimes.
I never got why people put barbells in their nipples. Boobs are perfectly nice without needing to decorate them, unless it's detachable frippery like tassels.
I bet the Goog would love that. All dissenters silenced because complaining about their privacy policies in public is what, public? Yes, you have made the entire internet marginally stupider.
Revenue is far less important than profits in these purchases, Tumblr as you said had $13 million in revenue but actually made a loss of ~ $12 million, making it an even worse purchase. What are Hulu's profit margins?
It was the same thing with the property bubble. Those invested in the pyramid scheme were always the most vocal, trying to keep prices propped up. Watch this post get modded down now as they try to protect their 'investment'.
You could supply the total electricity that humanity uses by covering a single digit percentage of the Sahara desert with solar panels. For the hard of thinking, I'm not saying that this is the plan, just that we have a huge abundance of energy. We also have a huge abundance of food. We have in fact a huge abundance of everything except fossil fuels which were never a good idea and which are all easily replaceable, so no, the sky is not falling and anyone sincerely wishing death upon large numbers of people for ANY reason needs to be removed from circulation for their own good.
See this is one of those nonsensical posters I was babbling about yesterday. I'm not sure if it's a gonzo thing, a Joycean stream of consciousness or some liberal arts class trying to fuck up the internet, but there's a lot of it.

That's something they will never do. Why? There's no money in it.

What happens if you get an evil bit by accident?
Greece is pretty heavily armed as a nation, surprisingly enough.

Seconded, I've used that to turn a crippled netbook with windows basic into a more or less fully functional machine.
Sounds half Filipino, half Chinese. I know a few Bongs, a Cherry Pie, a Zip and a Bing.
I'm not really a trekkie, but you know what, I am really enjoying the latest movies.

Gmail was a shit idea at the time, and it's a shit idea now.
The smart people know how to improve upon inbox-sent mail-deleted.

Would you not be worried you might rip a nip while getting a grip with your lip?
Because that would be on my mind.

Glassholes. This will be remembered.

It's not the justice system (alone) that's broken, it's the general public.
Have you checked yourself into the nearest psychiatric facility to help deal with these genocidal tendencies and impulses?
Because you need to.
Now.
