    You do if you want to keep your grand children out of the coal mine. The plutocrats who abuse their employees are still in power and work day and night to undo the protections that the unions have put in place for American workers. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

  2. The unions built the middle class. Without the unions, this country would still be an assbackwards 3rd world hellhole.

    Why am I focusing on "stuff" instead of the command? Hello! because that is what you are acting on. entering data into a command line is pointless without a command to run.

    The thing is, you already have full access to a perfectly useful search tool in the search box (on firefox).

    There is absolutely no need to dilute the purpose of the url bar with it.

    This is a thing that has NO positive benefits, only negative.

    It breaks web standards and conflicts with local DNS and often times the manual entry of IP addresses.

    It has no benefits compared to a separate search field, only flaws.

    except your command line isn't "stuff" its "ls stuff" or "cat stuff". Entering the specific command changes the intent of the data that comes after it. Effectively making the "stuff" a different part of the UI based on the context of the "ls"|"cat" command that preceded it. But when you enter text in a combo url/search bar, you just enter "stuff" and then hit enter or the "Go to the address in the location bar" arrow. There is nothing you can do to distinctly tell it to search or navigate.

    Its completely broken with perfectly legitimate local DNS URLs. And can also error on IP addresses entered manually.

    Like it or not, it breaks standards. That may be cool with you, but its worth shit to anyone who is more than a trivial user.

    ls and cat are not entered from the same ui element, not really. once you enter the ls or cat command the following data is distinct for its intended purpose. Your command line doesn't have to figure out what if you wanted to ls or car "stuff", because you used the appropriate command.

    With a combo search/url bar, "stuff" can be a valid domain under your local DNS, but your shit-tastic box will search for it instead of navigating there.

    Exactly. not every valid URL has a top level domain, and this can consistently confuse browsers who have the UI error of using an address bar for searches.

    Yes. And that makes it a horrible horrible UI mistake. Search and URL are two very different things and should never ever be entered from the same UI element.

    The address bar is for addresses. It is a horrible horrible UI mistake to have turned it into a search feature. The url is correct or it isn't. Don't bullshit around with it.

    Almost every libertarian I know is rabidly pro patent because it is a law that protects "property", the only thing they care about. Completely ignoring that intellectual property is an artificial construct and a restriction of natural rights.

    I think we should up the ante. Any officer found guilty of infringing the rights of the people he is sworn to protect should be executed for treason.

    Absolute freedom can not exist.

    The law must prohibit murder in order to preserve the liberty to live.

    Likewise the law must prohibit exploitation of the market in order to preserve the right to participate in equitable exchange.

    A lawless land does not free you from tyranny, it allows anyone and everyone with more power than you to inflict upon you as many tyrannies as they care to.

    My ideas are not at all contradictory. Your understanding of socialism and libertarianism is merely limited.

    Your practical expression of liberty can be limited by your means, or by the infringement of a non-government entity, just as much as it can be limited by rule of law. Libertarian socialism seeks to enhance your practical liberty, not just your theoretical liberty, by using good laws to protect the people and their means of expressing liberty from exploitation and by removing the bad laws that can be exploited by both government and plutocrats to harm you and your means of expressing your liberty. Unregulated markets lead to slavery just as much as pure command economies, because in the end you will inevitably come to a position where one entity holds a monopoly on power and can force compliance on the populace.
