Here's a parallel... Is ""that man" (Jesus) is being boiled in hell in hiis own feces" satire, or a real belief? If pressed to defend the indefensible, an orthodox Jew would insist it's "plainly just satire".. but the rest of us who read it from the most holy book in judaism after the Torah, would say they're dead serious...
She's a scientist too? I know she's a diplomat in international affairs.. because she can (almost) see Russia from her rooftop.. Wow.. a scientist too.. must have a couple of test tubes in her cupboard....
I think Robert Gordon's conclusions are so clearly self evident5 that it astonishes me anyone would even disagree at all... I mean.. just *what* is going to pick up the slack for the introduction of electrical devices, lights, refrigeration, transportation, the assembly line, and so on.. These things can only ever be invented *once*. It's not too different from the rock and roll boom of the 50s to 70s. That's not about to happen again, ever, either... Never again. If you want those heady days to return I suggest you take a little trip with John Titor...
YEs, well, the whole board of directors were probably counting the minutes until Steve died in order to finally turn Apple into a "real company". That is , one with profits over and above everything else. This unhealthy obsession he had with respecting the apple users community and other "ethical" programming was lousy for the bottom line. Had it not been for him they could have made triillions instead of billions every year. Or so they, in their overwhelming arrogance, seem to believe... *See Jane run*...
oops.. it's... *Watch Apple swim!* *Watch Apple gasp for air!* *watch Apple thrash around*
and.. *Watch Apple sink*
Terrorism thrives on fear. It counts on the fact that people will create more constrictive and oppresive legislation.. essentially, ultimately enabling a police state. It's hoping for the eventuality that America will destroy itself from within by becoming the verykind of society it's been opposed to since it's inception.
If this is it's goal, and it's pretty clear to me that it is, then I would have to say that the terrists have won, or at least are very close to having done so... And they've done pretty much nothingto us since 2001. We've done it to ourselves...
Actually, ALL gov't documents are classified. I's WHAT they're classified *as*, that is the heart of the matter. Such a careless slip up of the english language is most properly attributable to a grade school education, not Yale or Harvard...
[...] so long as folks understand the money is being spent now and has to be repaid later.
A point most politicians don't mention and most voters don't want to acknowledge.
Not too different from when I needed to buy something nd the folks had a $20 for one item and a $20 for another. I pointed out I woulkd use my two tens as I needed a $20 for anoother purpose "No way" "this 20 is for the druggist's"
"But hey Pop.. I'm using my two $10 for the druggists"
"No, son, I want you to use THIS $20"
"Isn't $20 just $20, no matter how it's paid out?" "No.. I want you tio use THIS $20"
"Yoiu mean you want me to pay with your $20, and then ask the cashier to change my two $10s into a $20?" "Don't change the subject , son. I want you to pay with THIS $20"
"What if he gives me back your $20 in change? "Come over here, Dear, , *your* son is being difficult again"
"2$$^*(&"
ehhhh.. well.. therres a who' bunch o them pesky wabbits for wabbit stew on the university grounds. Wets see.. Ah shoot 10 a day that's $100 towards mah edoocation every day, wight?.. An ah pays of mah wifle in a few days...

Well it's true that sites like You Tube are "profiting" from others work, im the same way that these file sharig companies made money off sharing copyrighted work.. Problem is, it's *already* illegal. What they are askung is for companies to pay millons because of profits made from conducting illegal business, and that's not legal in and of itself. Try to see it this way.. if a thief is stealing from everybody in the neighborhood, the government can't simply tax him out of all his profits and distribute it to0 0the citizens.That's making money off an illegal act. And anyways You tube does do takedowns alll the timeanyways. The artists just need to be on the ball about their own product. I do think they should stop going after the little people here and JUST focus on those larger companies..
This, might be a good idea to use multiple steam accounts to try and limit the damage.
And before people get on my ass, yeah, he fucked up by either cheating or breaking the rules, sure. No sense in banning him from singleplayer though, that's just insulting.
Probably won't happen anytime soon, but the shitfest that's going to happen when steam shuts down will be crazy.
Hmmm.. that's certainly true for multiplayer.. but with single player, if it ever happened, and you knew ahead of time that they're going to fold,, surely you could set it to "off line".. As I understand it.. it's not time limited. And maybe an enterprising hacker could make it permanent. They'gve already hacked Steam games to do that.,. I see them offered all the time on warez sites.. Which.. ahem... I don't frequent.. I see them psychically;-)
If they had the ability to do this all along, then what the hell was the whole case about? Something other, I would think... Or they're lying entirely...
Because he did not violate any laws.. with a good legal team. he will be able to prove his innocence. If, however, he cannot afford a good legal team he will surely get sent down the river for life. And pleez no cracks about "innocent until proven guilty"! Does *anyone* even still believe that's how the real world works? Justice in this case is absolutely "up for sale".:hint: Where the F#$k is the EFF in this case? Shouldn't they be all over it with support?
It was actually targeted at us MAc users still using Snow Leopard and Lion. One thing about Steve Jobs.. while he may have seemed elitist and even arrogant at times.. he NEVER would have directed such a low blow in a public forum. The "friendly" apple of the "icon garden" years and early OSX resurgence is well and truly DEAD. And now it's just an overly wealthy company with absolute power. And absolute power corrupts? Absofrikkinlutely!
Well that would probably be true Mr and Mrs average turned to torenting if they were blocked.. but they won't. They'll just pony up or suffer if a real black out. Only the geeks will torrent or try alternate VPNs. And I hate to put it this way.. but they don't care about us. We're an insignifiicant minority. A non-sequiter. As irrelevant as the Ford model A to a New car dealership. We just don't bloody count!. Netflix can and will get along just fne without us...:sigh:
Is that like the typical American service center with the bare poorly painted echoey walls, the cold atmosphere , the long lineups and dirty coffee machines with stale donuts and a "cafe" around the corner that sells "fish and chips" withf fried department store type frozen fish sticks and a *bag* of salt and vinegar chips! ?

This cloud is an amazing thing that allows us to add another level of work....
The "paperless society" .. Hyuk! Remember that? Added another entirely redundant level of work.
Screw people like you that turn whatever they read into unneeded arguments.....
Actually, I'd rather not, thank you. They're probably the kind to fake their orgasms..

Besides, the rich are going to get subsidies.
A classic example is a Harvard law student liquidating his savings to buy a BMW to qualify for financial aid....
You can do that? Wheeee! Ahm gettin me a Tesla! An a edumacation...!

Do you believe everything the government tells you?
In this case.. definitely not. "Poisoning the well", I would think, because they couldn't get what they wanted.
If they had the ability to do this all along, then what the hell was the whole case about? Something other, I would think... Or they're lying entirely...
But do I have to worry today? No? OK then.. back to what I was doing... :-)

Then why do only Black Lives Matter, while stating All Lives Matter makes you a racist?
If women are equal to men, force them to join the draft, and have them make up 50% of the military, including positions in active war zones.
Equality is a big concept, and I doubt 3rd wave feminist are willing to Check THEIR Privilege to obtain it.
nooo.. actually as I understand it.. saying "all life matters" makes you a terrist...
Or "All Lives Matter" .. same diff...
