If someone's been teaching you history, they ought to be fired.
The Republican Party was the big government centralize-everything pro-corporate party since day-fucking-one. The days of Robert Taft were the sole exception in their otherwise flawless fawning over state control in every aspect of our lives. Whigs, free-soilers, and eventually the nutty evangelical pietists (who were the original progressives).
TR ran 3rd party to purposely split the vote and deny William Howard Taft the election. To suggest he was trying to win completely ignores TR's history with business interests and who was funding both campaigns (TR's and Wilson's) and instead takes a politician's word at face value (HA!)
Also, how can you be scolded for throwing something away if it's completely worthless?
Clinton did no such thing. He raised spending like every before and after him. The surplus was mainly due to accounting trickery like raiding the supposed SS surplus, now lent to the government by the government for past spending.
Al Gore's 'locked box' would be full of nothing but government IOUs....to itself.
Yea, right. As witness to countless abuses by cops who only get suspended, I'll have to call complete bullshit to your theory (and that's what it is, just a theory).
If we all lived in la-la land where government was impartial and politics wasn't ruled by special interests and rivers flowed with milk and honey....
Government employees have waaaay more clout within the government system than employees do within a private firm (unless they're related to the owner, in which case he'll go broke employing his bum relatives).
No conservative would detect a hint of sarcasm in your post.
McCain's voting record is extremely neo-liberal, and his record as a pilot wasn't exactly Top Gun material

This is an empire. We're an empire because we're special and need to export that special-ness to the uncivilized world. So says us, and every empire before us. If we don't, why, chaos will reign! It would be like allowing people to do what they want with the fruits of their labor!
> This whole nationalist, jingoist, fascist thing that the neo-Cons call Patriotism makes me throw up a little.
What about when they were called neo-liberals or Trotskyites? Is it still fascism now that Pelosi and Obama are in charge?
I think you'll find that most neo-cons aren't against domestic spending, or any kind of spending. Deficits don't matter, reality-based community, etc. It's all for the health of the welfare-warfare state.
The problem is how the industry defines AIDS. It is defined as having immune deficiency and HIV (except in Africa, where a whole host of diseases are called "AIDS" due to lack of HIV testing). It begs the question, and invalidates postultes 1 and 4. #3 is mostly based on, as you put it, non-experimental evidence, which isn't bad in itself except there aren't any statistical controls, either, making it unscientific as well.
User-level apps in OS X don't have access to another app's memory, either. It's the OS which has access and copies data to the pasteboard, and not at the behest of another user app. Sandboxing doesn't change this one iota. I can copy/paste between Mac OS and various emulators or VMs which are sandboxed.
It is always the application which informs the OS that data is being copied. The worst that could happen is surreptitious reading or overwriting of pasteboard data. If Apple wanted to prevent this, they could have a pasteboard for every app and have the user choose which to paste from, or they could use drag+drop which removes the pasteboard altogether.
Next you'll shock me that civil servants aren't prompt and courteous.
The reason Wall St. is a casino is because you have no better place to put your worthless pieces of paper we're all forced to use that isn't taxed to kingdom come. It's a racket!

Considering what Brazilians say about Portuguese on a regular basis, I guess it doesn't apply to foreigners.
Sorry, but this is a *great* idea.
It's fucking expensive. That means military contractors get more and you get less. Politics caters to special interests, NOT YOU!
>never to be used
Except we did
If you don't think people who start wars aren't bad, prey tell, who is?
That's quite the Machiavellian perspective you have there

Hopefully, whatever Apple develops next will. It would really suck if the only persistent way to refer to a file was its path.
You forgot incorruptible, infallible, and benevolent.
I'm shocked, shocked I say, that an official supports a policy which makes his officialdom more important, nay, necessary?
What's next? Will the UN support a global tax on carbon? Will small town cops support speed limits? Will the Chief of the armed forces wage war?
Stay tuned for more shocking developments!

For some people, in the immediate sense, but not for the greater good*
*assuming Obama or any politician would actually cut spending...HO HO HO

You seem to think spending on Defense is to make us safe.
No, on the contrary, it's to make us FEEL safe. /Yes Minister...
I have news for you: China is funding our wars.
They don't need to fight us. What, are they going to fund our war against China, too?
Dead, Jim.
Anyway, who says they can't make a server with these chips, or even release OS X for IBM hardware?
Yes, he does. It's called the pink slip.
Neither. They are allowed because the people are sheep and dare not disobey legal tender laws.
So, how do we disprove this ludicrous theory again?
Average temp gets hotter, colder, drier etc. with or without this theory. It's called climate change, and the climate never stops changing!
