One 's', sue me. However, it is proper to say that something disappears something else. And contrary to the other responder, I intended present tense as well.
You think I'd leave because of a single sympton? No my friend, it's the DISEASE that makes people leave. Nina Simone was a talented expatriot. One of the most highly decorated member of the military left the country in despair over it's condition as well.
And referring to a 10000 to 1 ratio as a polarization is nonsensical as well. To be polar implies two equivalent sides. The "opposing" side is technically insignificant and not willing to debate using logical methods - it's irrational garbage.
The only polar argument the downward spiral of our country exposes is whether to stay and fight it or go and enjoy life. Now THAT's an equally-sided challenge.
Truth be told, the government doesn't belong in education, corporations do not belong in governments and religioun sure as hell doesn't belong in any of the three!
You may be joking, but you're correct in a way. In Florida, they cannot seize his house. So he should have put all the money into his property instead of frivolous toys. He could do his six, then return to the same home. Much better than a 30 year mortgage working a 9-5.
Will you guys please stop squabbling over which ethically questionable politician is better than the other? These guys say what you want to hear to get elected, then do something entirely different - always. If they don't, they get shot or attacked by the power infrastructure.
Presidents are either puppets for the powerful or fighting a losing battle their entire time in office.
Also, note that your most votes in history is a statistical banana - the country's population is increasing for crying out loud. Vote counts aren't likely to go down in a bipolar system with narrow wins, regardless of the candidate.
Here Here. I'm leaving the country as soon as my personal reasons for living here.... expire:(
If I can't sit in my home office and come up with ideas that could get me out of the working class w/o having to line someone elses pocket, how is that any better than Russia, Venuezuela or any other country the US leadership likes to criticize?
If you live outside of the US and are wondering, we've passed the mark - This country has moved to Fascism. Here's a hypothetical sympton: I'd argue the reason US politicians don't care about the deficit is because it acts as a community corporate credit line. US corps can pay a "membership" fee (i.e., buy a politician - Cheney & Haliburton, etc ) and then start taking money out of it. And when they hit the limit, the Treasury just bumps it up. So, Fascism - no difference between the government and the corporations. Doesn't matter if it's masked in deception, it's still the case.
Hardly an appropriate analogy - all of the things you described did not change the user interface - the steering wheel is still a wheel, the brake pedal didn't move to the glove box and there aren't only two tires now instead of four.
Microsoft changes things that don't help - all of the things your described help. If I'm a programmer, I still want power steering in my car. But word by default capitalizes words I don't want capitalized, uncapitalizes things I do, and dissappears menu items.
First, we're actually talking about dumbing the system down to use paper ballots. Second, India does not rank high on ethics - class systems, leaving babies in the dumpster, withholding food for hundreds of thousands of people. The only reason India has advanced is because they have a large fraction of the population that is English speaking!
And Deibold having the voting machines *is* an example of the government not suffering from NIH! First, the government didn't manufacture these machines. Second, you can bet your ass the hardware wasn't manufactured in the US.
Nice patriotic trumpeting - Any mindless US flag waver would be proud if they could abstract themselves from the fact that you are insulting (albeit poorly) their country.
Perhaps we should be considering Trapjaw Internet protocol as an alternative to RFC 1149? There have been next to no improvements in that protocol - I think it's time...
No he's saying roads have a natural speed limit - if you exceed that roads limit you lose the capacity to maneuver on it. Case in point - try doing 25mph in a cul-de-sac. Or 35 at a 90 turn. The speed limit is supposed to reflect the suitable speed for the road and therefore, yes, exceeding that limit implies exceeding the roads natural limit.
That's a common misconception about multiple boxes costing more - buying one big toaster capable of handling all of the services isn't less expensive that buying 4 smaller ones. Plus you get the bonus of multiple buses for various disks.
And linux is an option now that it has become more common - 1 week of training and an extra box for the admin to muck around on = $1k. Not a bad price to avoid crippling your company for three days when your backup/mail/ldap/intranet/calendar/wins/dns/web/ro uter/file server bites the dust.
Keep in mind these don't have to have monitors or graphical overhead. 4 boxes about $500 a piece could put you in working order. Add the test box & training and have the problem covered w/ $3k.
What you just described is a throwback to the pre-40's public relations mentality. Ever since Sigmond Freuds nephew Edward Bernays and a few other choice wackos came into the picture, pr and advertising has moved to propoganda instead. Go behind your audiences back and to their leaders and convince those people to endorse your product instead. That's the reasons for the sweaty athletes, or bacon entering our diet for breakfast or a myriad of things.
It's not repetition as you suggest, it's propoganda.
Thanks for the stereotype, but that isn't a national work ethic, it's a class one. I've never heard of a lazy American farmer, nor a slack Canadian oil worker. I have yet to mean a Mexican immagrant labour worker who quit there job and walked out. Don't believe everything you are told repeatedly. Usually that's a sign of a form of control or propoganda.
Oh, and of the Asian coworkers I have had, only 1 of them actually knew what the heck they were doing, and he was Asian American.
This is clearly a subversive campaign to disenfranchise the naming conventions of several major programming languages for the CONSTANT.
-1 on this one. This guy just didn't come up with any uses, that's all... Not a programmer, a military message sender, or a secretary for a lawyer I guess.
I'll answer your question. It's time. There's a correlation between the amount of personal time one has and their openness to other's opinions and ideas which contradict their own. When you are pressed for time, the last thing you want is more information which might slow you down.
Now, Americans work excessive hours relative to other countries - call it low unemployment, call it workaholicism, call it entreprenuership, whatever. Neutrally speaking, other western societies tend to take more formal breaks - long lunches, siestas, vacations, etc.
That's my hypothesis, but I'm open to other interpretations. Oh, and I've read Darwin's Origin of the Species (Utterly boring read!), find observations aligned with evolution to be agreeable, and was born in the US. And I invite any ex-patriots to return to the states and run for office instead - you aren't fixing anything by leaving.
Drop RMI? You realize that communication to EJB's is RMI right?
And for the love of gods, why bother trimming the libraries? If you don't use the classes, they don't get loaded into the VM. Everything else is inflating including the OSes and you want to trim the programmers libraries?
The more I look at your post, the more I realize you are straddling two fences. You say drop Swing and AWT implying that you are on the server in which case, your not downloading the JVM & libraries to the client anyway. Then you say Java needs to be like a Java Web Start install, meaning you are on the client side and therefore need the libraries you just said to toss! Oh and btw, Java Web Start is part of the jre download - if you have to download and install something to the client, why not download it all at once? Besides, the libraries *are* broken up - j2se and j2ee, correct?
I disagree. I believe he was saying that if you had the power to do anything the first action should be to kill the lawyers. Not because doing so would help tyranny, but because you could and they deserve it.

No grammar problem at all.
Oh, bad news for him. Not a lot of sympathy for child abuses in jail.
Need to start forking money over to political candidates too and sending spam on behalf of candidates.

I don't know, seeing a fat balding italian guy in a Lamborghini hurts my eyes...

Edward Bernays book came out before WWII as did the ideas surrounding the swaying of public opinion for less than ethical purposes.
It wasn't a staple of the US diet though until much later. Eggs, toast and jam...
Nothing a swift pound with a rubber mallet & a microwave sauna won't cure.

I had trouble understanding the part where the city is NOT BELOW sea level
The part that's ALSO SINKING you mean?
Can't mplayer already do this?

Finally, *everyone* has a tendency to consider themselves above average in any given skill. So now you have people, unwilling to learn more about an area because they lack the time to commit to it who are convinced they know better than they actually do.
