Here's what a real leftist government would look like.
Naaah.
A leftist government would just make one tiny little change to corporate law: from now on, the boards of directors will be elected by the employees - one employee, one vote.
That means, each company will become a company of workers, instead of a company of shareholders. Human capital will replace money capital as the managing force in the economy.
It already works in Spain (look up "Mondragon"). It just needs to be made a national and international policy.
That is a leftist government worth having: Democracy overtaking the rule of wealth in business.
Should we replace bridge inspections with votes about whether or not they are going to fall down, as well?
Well yes. Those in favor of the bridge staying up, can vote by standing under it. Those who vote against the bridge staying up, do so by standing at a safe distance where they can see the people under the bridge.
And we wait.
If the bridge stays up, the viewers at a safe distance don't get to see their opponents squashed. And if the bridge doesn't stay up, we get rid of a bunch of hopeless would-be engineers.
TFA mentions "a small number of countries, including the USA and South-Korea", which sounds like there would be other countries too, but the summary says "only two countries". The Wikipedia article referenced in TFA is very murky and unclear about what things could be patentable in (say) Australia, as well as other nations.
All up, how reliable is the claim that WildFox is legal in all countries in the world apart from the US and South Korea?
In the real world of government and corporate SOEs (standard operating environments), Internet Explorer 6 still reigns in many places. They don't have the time or the incentive to test out newer SOEs and upgrade. They think it still works, and no amount of argument will move them.
Cannot even abandon the hacks to work around IE6 let alone adopt HTML5.
When John Wayne fired a gun, at least two Indians dropped instantly. *At least* two. You can keep those computers, I want to better understand the technology behind The Duke's bullets...
Mad magazine did a great spoof of this many years ago.
They were advertising surplus Hollywood "Western" props. Things like "shotgun - when fired by little old lady with eyes closed and pointing gun 45 degrees in the air, will hit an Indian riding fast on horseback 500 feet away". Another was "Indian horses, guaranteed to fall down on front legs every ten paces" and "Six shooter - fires eleven rounds without reloading".
You know, there's a point where you have to step back and realize that you're a minority (by a long shot) and when you are on your own little unique land its *typically* not everyone else that's wrong.
From a certain point of view, one person with a million dollars outnumbers five hundred people with a thousand dollars each. The "minority" all depends on what you are counting, dollars or people.
The greatest enemy the media industry faces today is their own greed. They have forgotten the main principle of the capitalist market economy: "KEEP THE CUSTOMER SATISFIED". They have replaced it with one they borrowed from the socialist world: "ACCORDING TO OUR PLANS, WE SHOULD GET THIS MUCH PROFIT"
They have replaced it with one they borrowed from the communist world: "WE HAVE YOU IN OUR GRASP AND WE WILL EXPROPRIATE ALL YOUR ASSETS."
There could be any number of reasons for this behavior, but what trained officers are supposed to do is expect the subject to do the worst possible thing - pull out a gun and start shooting.
In that case, they should be shooting everyone trying to come into the country, because who knows what those dang foreigners will do when they get onto our soil.
Now that is expecting every subject to do the worst possible thing. WHat you described is more like "poor exercise of judgment".
Personally, I expect that any space aliens (being more advanced than us) will be anarcho-syndicalists who will be offended by all our capitalist transational corporations and want to help us workers take them over.
So I am waiting to welcome our new Anarcho-Syndicalist non-overlords...
So, if you don't put up your real name, don't "friend" anyone, don't comment to anyone, don't join groups, and don't play games, you've removed all potentially private information. Oh yeah, you've also removed all usefulness at the same time.
I am yet to work out how the games on Facebook are useful. Or even the slightest bit interesting. Painful is more like it. Annoying too.
You have two choices: right or left? And most of the rest of the world doesn't consider your left-wing choice to even fall left of centre of their respective political spectra.
Or as a relative of mine puts it: "America has two parties: a right wing party and a righter-wing party."

No.

Seems perfect to me.

Also, the site just timed out three times when I tried to get their "overall progress" stats due to a sql timeout error. Stay classy bodylab.
They were using a Microsoft product.
Looks like they put a DMCA takedown notice on the entire country.
Don't know: Hitler.de couldn't be contacted for a comment.

"Just because it's clear and obvious to you, doesn't make it so in the real world." - Best quote I have seen here in quite a while. Perfect.
Just because it's perfect to you, doesn't make it so in the real world.
Guess whose opinion is actually law?
In this case, Parliament's.

Well, that's how I remembered it.
Unless the Australian Labor Party abandons the plan altogether, will the timing make any difference to voters?
Well, yes, the timing would make a difference. If they were to schedule it to begin in (say) 2100, I would be quite happy.

SCO is the zombie process you cannot kill.
SCO is the eternal train wreck in motion.
SCO is the severed hand that keeps crawling along the floor.
I'd like to see some photos of these customers at the precise moment they realise that their login password has been captured.
This could be a new genre of photographic art: "Oh Noes!"

When I say "free market", I mean "free for me", not "free for you".
I can go cold turkey fine.
Just give me a six-pack or two and I can drink my way through any Internet withdrawal.

However, practising anything improves you ability at that particular thing.
That's odd. The more I practise drinking, the worse my drinking gets!
