My tablet has a keyboard and mouse and runs andoid on a tegra. I could even use a full size usb or bluetooth keyboard if 92 keys are not enough, or a large format flatscreen through hdmi if 10.1 inches isn't enough.
That would work just fine for nearly every office job out there short of heavy duty image/video processing or debugging enterprise software.
Faith is a disease, one that has caused more death and suffering than any other throughout human history. The world would be vastly better off without it.
But no. the solution is not to force them to agree with you. Conversion by force uses the same brain washing techniques that make religion so insidious.
The only real cure is education, exposure to rationality, debunking myths and lies, and calling out the horrors inflicted by the disease.
I've long believed in freedom of religious choice. But as time goes on it becomes more and more clear that freedom of thought is a vastly more important right, and one that can not flourish as long as people are infected with contagious memetic parasites that suppress their free will.
Not really. A lot of libertarian ideology is actually decent. Its just the economic aspects that are fucktarded. Unfortunately many libertarians only care about the economic aspects, liberties be damned.
yes, finally someone gets it. LABOR is the primary source of value in the economy. Stabilize the economy by increasing the value of labor, not just by increasing pay, buy by increasing pay as a percentage of corporate income.
As someone who worked at a gas station in college while I was getting my cs degree? Your "insightful" mod is not appropriate. Their computers have abysmal security.
The difference is that you expect to pay a mechanic or plumber $50 to $100 an hour... People on these sites expect to get code written for less than minimum wage.
I was on rent-a-coder for a while before they changed the name. And the expectations and offered pay were ridiculous.
That debt? guess why we have it? Anti progressives crippling our country with tax cuts.
Progressives are trying to balance the budget in the only way that is actually possible, through tax increases on those who have benefited the most from our society.
I am a progressive and I do not fucking support the vast majority of gun control. I already said that.
Come back when you are capable of making an actual argument against progressivism, instead of the shit that authoritarians and conservatives inflict on us and blame everyone else for.
You are setting up a strawmans argument, you fail.
Progressives DO NOT want more control and regulation of EVERY aspect of peoples lives.
They want more control and regulation over the parts of peoples lives that are explicitly used to infringe on the liberty, equality and justice of others, and they want less control and regulation over the parts of peoples lives that are not explicitly used to infringe on the liberty, equality and justice of others.
What use is your freedom of speech if they tear out your tongue?
A hypothetical right does not truly exist if you do not have the means of exercising it or if someone can infringe upon that right without reprimand and compensation by virtue of their wealth or class.
Absolute equality of wealth is not a requirement and is in any case an unsustainable state. However the vast inequity of wealth that exists does suppress the freedom and justice available to the poorest among us while providing the wealthiest the ability to trample over others without censure or recourse and further infringe on the liberties of the common man.
If you were to plot a diagram with economic equality on one axis, and freedom on the other, The function between the two points is not a straight line. It is a curve.
There is surely a point where increasing economic equality reduces liberty, but we are no where near that inflection point yet.
None of those things inherently limit freedom equality and justice (though certain implementations may).
And in many cases they promote freedom equality and justice (though certain implementations may not).
Why do progressives want higher taxes? To pay for the spending necessary to promote liberty, equality and justice because markets do not naturally tend to move in that direction.
Why do progressives want race-based policies? Because racism is a thing that still exists and robs people of their freedom, equality and justice.
Why do progressives want more regulations and laws? Because unregulated markets tend towards tyranny.
Why do progressives want more spending? To promote more liberty, equality and justice.
Why do progressives want more gun control? because the denial of life by murder is the ultimate infringement of your liberty, equality and justice.
Now, I for one don't blame guns for murder, and I disagree with the majority of gun control efforts. But its an irrational side effect that unfortunately some progressives incorrectly focus on.
Basically, all these things are about fulfilling the process that the founding fathers put in place to progress towards greater liberty, equality and justice. It is about fulfilling the American dream.
Progressivism grows from liberalism with the idea that we should continue to seek more liberty, equality and justice. To make continued progress towards those ideals.

Atheism isn't a disease.
And there have been very very few people killed in the name of atheism.
Near or over a billion have been slaughtered in the name of religion and faith based ideology throughout human history.

Its backed by the value of the sexual favors your wife/girlfriend/hooker will perform in exchange for jewelry.
Gold is also a fiat currency.
You want a currency with actual value? go back to using a currency you can eat.
That was the most worthless infomercial ever.
"Revolutionary" my ass.
I was developing that 5 years ago with the original inventor, some of the diagrams in the patent are even the same.
But our venture capitalists got flaky a couple months before going live and stopped signing the paychecks.
Most of them theoretically allow it. But I've never seen it behave reliably due to bandwidth issues.

Yes, and make sure to slather on a thick coat of red paint. The red ones go faster.

The people who set up the system with the goal of your failure are also responsible.
They could be unbelievable, simply because they are UNTRUE. Who the hell wants to ban homework?

Bloomberg is not a progressive.
And you are a complete idiot if you think progressives are implementing "racism in a different direction"
Everything you just said was a strawman, and quite frankly idiotic.
You are setting up a strawmans argument, you fail.

Wrong again.
Progressivism grows from liberalism with the idea that we should continue to seek more liberty, equality and justice. To make continued progress towards those ideals.
Freedom is one of the principal ideals of liberalism alongside equality and justice.
Or are you confused about the meaning of words?
Do you really think that anti-liberalism promotes freedom?
She is. She is a disgrace to the ideals of liberalism.
