Linux is about finding your own path through life and thinking long and hard about what you're going to do instead of listening to what other people tell you to do.
Of course, if you ask, everyone will just tell you to RTFM, noob.
Not to mention the fact that his comment assumes that there are only a half dozen unique people and everyone else is an identical clone, programmed to be unable to comprend the concept of being for everything democrats stand for except, say, gun control.
Now find someone who is anti-patriot act and anti-all-other-bad-ideas and pro-all-other-good-ideas.
This is why representative democracy is doomed to eventual failure. It is impossible to find someone who is against all bad views and for all good views. In theory we do our best, but the bad laws build up like cruft and give us our current tax code, rent-seeking regulations, cavity searches at the airports, staggering debt, warrantless wiretaps, a three-front war, and so on.
I didn't realize that our society now viewed being employed as an obligation. As a FAVOR that you are doing for SOMEONE ELSE. That the potential for finding work and making money isn't reward enough for trying to find a job and that they need some sort of grade-school type reward from the government to make use of public services to help them hunt for (scarce and therefore even more valuable) jobs. To pay their bills and take care of themselves.
Your comment came across strongly as "get a job you lazy bum" not "motivate yourself you lazy bum". A lot of people react strongly to the first version, especially in an economic downturn when the protestant punishment ethic ("bad things happen only to bad people") starts to break down as an explanation for the situation.
That people actually fear that the government is sufficiently flexible to run something this complicated and sophisticated.
The government doesn't need to run something this complicated, they just need to be able to convince a jury that they can.

As long as the prosecutor can convince 12 angry men that the government really can make a gui in visual basic to track back the government ID just like on TV, they'll do it.
Only if you define freedom in the strictest, purest, most idealistic sense, used by nearly nobody in the real world.
As an American, I don't have the freedom to become someone else's slave, yet I would consider myself to be "free". In the real world, freedom is not an absolute, and there is no government agency declaring what it means to be free or have freedom.
Yeah. Scanning it for vulnerabilities doesn't answer the question of whether your server is intentionally malicious.
If the calendar is externally available (just not in an iPhone friendly format) then perhaps you can get a compromise with IT to jack your server in a port outside the firewall.
Yet if the Republicans took control, they wouldn't do a damn thing to stop gerrymandering, they'd just gerrymander in their favor. Take a look at Texas's redistricting between census periods just because the Republicans can.
it can certainly cause a business that is near the edge of profitability to switch to the other side.
There are no companies in that situation. Their shareholders would have killed them off long before minimum wage changes did.
That said, there are companies where minimum wage changes could make the shareholders decide that the company isn't worth keeping alive because they can get a better profit somewhere else.
would seem to be to eliminate cheap labor by raising the standard of living everywhere
A noble goal, not so much stymied by "the people really in charge there" but perhaps more by the fact that dividing the wealth of the US working class evenly between the two billion Indian and Chinese people living in abject poverty will probably buy them an extra scoop of rice.
The problem with javascript on the web is that a ton of it has been written that may or may not deal with specific browsers' broken DOM implementations. Since javascript spreads by copying and pasting random snippets from random websites and thus passing on these flawed lumps of cruft from generation to generation, it has developed into what is essentially a cargo cult: "Well, I saw Site X do this 10 years ago to bring the rain, so we must do this too!"
Can you imagine my surprise when I first learned (entirely by accident) that I could use selecttag.value? For years I had been doing selecttag.options[selecttag.selectedIndex].value; When I discovered that the rain dance was no longer necessary to bring me the rain, I felt like a fool for having written all that cruft, and wanted to know when the DOM had changed. I couldn't find the answer, only other people who were amazed to have discovered this new invention as well, and people working out which versions of which browsers this shortcut was compatible with.
Except that truecrypt heavily advertises this feature, so if you decrypt your volume and it has pictures of fuzzy kittens, they'll say "ha ha very funny, I said kiddie porn, not kitty porn. Now decrypt the secret volume."
Universities are still teaching computer science, much to the chagrin of people like this AC who apparently thinks that the degree should be a hopped up vocational program.
Personally, if employers want votech students they should say so and stop demanding a degree. If they want a degree, they should stop whining about how the degree isn't votech.

Robots die from radiation faster than humans do.
But please go ahead and get your jokes and references in. I'll start: Ghost in the Shell, The Six Million Dollar Man, Fullmetal Alchemist
Angelic Layer would be an excellent one to add.

It was obviously Lando Calrissian.
At least it wasn't Darth Vader.
HR improved my quarterly bonus by 15% by laying off half the employees. What has your department done for me this week?</boss>
This is clearly not true.

For every traditional (lame) job lost like Borders sales agent, a new, higher paying job is created
Do you honestly believe Amazon needs as many web developers as Borders needed clerks?

Public servants retain the right to freely association and decide not to show up for work on the same day as their colleagues.
Then the principal should retain the right to fire them for not working.
It's not a hatred of America as much as an ignorance of capitalism
Why does America hate capitalism?

she didn't find it shameful at all to go on unemployment just for a two month gap?
Not nearly as shameful as your assumption that everyone has psychic powers and knows how long it will take to find a job.
it's OK to let things go extinct ... but the determination ought to be whether it's our fault or natural, not whether or not its cost effective.
By that logic, it's OK to let bananas go extinct, yet companies are pumping quite a lot of cash into saving them.
What if the universe is not repeatable all the time?
Then science is fucked.
