People who advocate giving money to "the poor" and "disadvantaged" do not give their own to the poor and disadvantged -- they just get other people to do it. Just like the people who are pushing the UACs all over the US. Are they inviting these children into THEIR gated communities? No. "It's the right thing [for other people] to do."
When will people just open their eyes? Radical socialist nations got that way under the leadership of and influence of famously rich and exploitative people who united people under the promise of equality and utopia and are somehow suprised when their government takes away their freedom and points guns at them all the time. How many nations ended up like this? And we want that here too? Really?
You know what makes people save energy? High energy bills. We don't have "high" energy bills in areas where the government supplements [corporate welfare] energy companies. All these "capitalists" are amazingly non-capitalist.
Look on either side. Nobody does or means what they say.
And I still can't believe that people still don't know what was really behind the Hobby Lobby issue. Maybe you heard it from me first, but it has been out there for quite some time. But it turns out that such exemptions already existed but previously just for non-profits. And in those cases, under Obamacare, those birth control benefits (keeping in mind that birth control means abortive measures, not prevention measures) are STILL covered but are required to be paid for by INSURANCE COMPANIES. This battle was never about whether or not for-profit conpanies can have moral objections to anything. It is about insurance companies not wanting to keep their end of the bargain they wrote for themselves. They are making windfall profits on this and they don't want to give any of it back.
Okay going a bit off-topic but I don't care. Things are getting increasingly stupid and the media is pushing out increasingly obvious and blatant lies. I just wonder at what point the common drones out there will begin to notice.
Why do they mention that and fail to mention devices which present even higher density displays? My Nexus 5 has 445ppi display density.
I find it annoying that despite the existence of common devices which are "better" that the "best" is still considered to be Apple's. Nothing like product endorsement which wasn't [likely] even paid for. At the very least, they should have included the trademark sign to indicate they were making a commercial reference in their endorsement. (They did, at least capitalize "retina" in retina display... that's not quite the same thing and kind of makes it worse.)
I am very interested in graduating beyond CentOS 6.x. The GNOME2 thing annoys me where compatibility with GIMP is concerned. A few other issues in its lacking up-to-date-edness as well. And I know that's the point of RHEL/CentOS so I have remained somewhat comfortable with it. But Damn that GNOME/GTK/GIMP issue. One or more of those people should work this out because the problem, while presently not applicable under CentOS7, it has the potential to return as their practices and philosophy haven't changed and that's what caused the problems in the first place.
I am reminded as to why I wanted to avoid GNOME3 in the first place. Way too much mouse movement involved there. (Touchpad users especially annoyed) and the GNOME Shell plugins thing? I haven't gotten into that, but early on, the way things worked plugins didn't work well with one another. Cobbling an ideal system for me required a lot of hackery. Plus, it required a lot more manual intervention. I see there is a plugin panel type thing so maybe they have worked that out now.... I hope.
Still, I want MATE. I added EPEL this morning, and got MATE installed. I will also want Compiz going but ran out of time this morning. The "Software" app (I liked Yumex... I want it back... another thing I want) but whatever is missing in the repo data, I see "Mate Desktop" as a category, but there is nothing in it. Going to the repo view, I can select packages. The app resolves dependencies but doesn't warn/advise me as to what it includes when resolving.
That's what I've got for now... I'm liking it basically.
Do you think gun injuries are massive? By that definition, people being struck by lightning and winning lotteries are absolutely out of control and in epidemic rates.
Lumping car related injuries and fatalities in with guns is a wonderful way to create your hyperbole argument, but I would invite you to visit a shooting range some time. I think so far, without fail, once people actually use guns, they get a better impression of them and simply gain a better perspective on things.
We live in a dangerous world. No doubt about it. And we cannot make it un-dangerous no matter how we try. If we rid ourselves of all technology and live as animals live, we would STILL have dangers. It's time we stop denying that technology serves us, but in much the same way that "time-saving kitchen gadgets" don't really save [much] time, other tech has its costs as well.
And seriously, the right to enjoy the fun of shooting as well as the fighting chance to defend one's self? It's written into law. Why do we have to keep having the discussion? My advice to you and all gun-fearing people out there? Get a gun. You're a good person. Learn to use it well and wisely. Your fears will decline and we'll all be safer for it.
I think you will find that the permission of the site location's management will likely be required as well to run this equipment as it becomes more common. I find the tech to be "cool" until you realize that it's all rather noisy. So it becomes not only a danger issue (and it's not like there isn't already danger associated with skiiing or any of the other activities likely to be focus of these drones) but one which is a nuissance to others.
This all speaks of the problems of enjoying and living in the moment and of that moment being missed due to "recording the moment." The moments are tainted by the added equipment. If it's not a person who lives the tainted moments behind a lens or LCD panel, then it's the moment being tainted by loud noises generated by the machinery to automate the process.
Adding a "leash" to the devices is interesting but I cannot imagine these devices responding fast enough that they won't get tugged like a child's helium balloon at every turn.
I suppose if they could get rid of the noise problem, I would find the tech more interesting.
I would be "inexpensive." I know we're a way from that at the moment. But while we note that progress is being made and at the same time, the slow (!) march in progress of more affordable, inexpensive, mass-produced solar and other at-hand, non-centralized power continues, I always feel we're on the cusp of a major paradigm shift. Still... we're beyond the year 2000, no flying cars and no serious advancement since the 80s really. I may be dead before real change is allowed to occur.
Worse than that. It's blind faith in circular belief in truth. You get just enough people saying it and it becomes "a number of people" and suddenly a critical mass of people are making or supporting the claim and it becomes "truth." This is a general understanding of how lies become truth all over. Such common lies are "god" and "global warming." Deny either of those (among others) and you will be attacked politically. Observe as I get modded down because I dared mention god or global warming as lies.
1. Government shouldn't use anything proprietary and the US should follow its own rules (AMD exists because gov't rules requirements, why not Microsoft compatible-competitors?) 2. Vendor lock-in always leads to over-pricing and government waste (also, see #1) 3. Microsoft did a deal with the devil (US Government) and now wants to regain trust. Sorry Microsoft. Not going to work.
And did anyone miss the work facebook has been doing with government? Holy crap. Not only is their censorship completely to the left, they are conducting psych experiments at the request of the US government. I personally avoid the social networking sites and [almost] always have.
(I have used LinkedIn due in no small part to my previous employer reducing its staff by over 90% Oh yeah, now I can talk about it too! Turns out the Fukushima incident and subsequent lies, deception, inaccuracies and omissions run pretty deep and even found its way to my former employer, a Mitsubishi company. Anyway, LinkedIn... i was checking that from my mobile device and it made mobile pages unusable through CSS and insisted I use an app. I loaded the app and agreed to whatever and the next thing I knew LinkedIn grabbed my whole addressbook and pulled it into their servers. I can't say whether they used the data to spam others, but I can say they used it to "suggest links" to my profile. That's pretty dirty and disgusting.)
Trust is a difficult thing these days... a fragile thing. And I hope companies everywhere, large and small, learn that lesson. They can learn the hard way or they can be good and decent people asking themselves "would I want someone doing this to me?!" (Just like government gun confiscation -- the answer is NO. The government wouldn't allow the citizens to take their guns, so why should the citizens allow government to take theirs?) Of course, too few people care about golden rules of morality because the world is run by psychopaths. Psychopaths think they can just buy trust. That may have been true, but the pendulum has reached its furthest point and is about to swing back the other way. Microsoft and others are only now figuring that out.
Yes we all know what is going on. It's not a secret and hasn't been for a long while. Many people prefer not to talk about it but it's been going on. "No more hesitation" targets depicting people in bathrobes in their homes as targets. This is something they asked for and some company sold. Now they say they stopped selling them. But word has it, they simply created a new entity that sells that stuff exclusively and does not deal with any public at all.
And as others point out, one person in his home, or even a handful of people in their homes cannot hope to hold off these people. I don't expect it to either. But look what happened to the BATF after Waco. Completely neutered for a while until recently.
The best answer for now is people to keep talking about it. Talking is working to some degree. Those people out there saying "wait and see before you take action" are forgetting what has happened already and what is happening now. We can all face them down together or let fear paralyze the nation. People who use fear to get their way are terrorists. If you're afraid of your government and their enforcers, and if you're afraid to even talk about it? Guess who the terrorists actually are.
It's that simple. If they are not properly commissioned law enforcement officers then they are impersonating police and it is perfectly okay to answer deadly force with deadly force especially when they break into your home.
To add clarity to the topic, I see the change in tactics and tactical advantage as extremely disturbing.
The shift is from combat and other conflict engagement to robotic herd management where machines are used to cull the herds of human resources out there.
I see the next evolution as such devices being issued to police and local military forces operating in the US. They can and likely will be used to issue orders and directives about targets further disabling human choice and decision making. You may have already heard about the "zero hesitaiton targets" being used in police and other government training. It is surprisingly hard to overcome humanity and morality in government employees, but they are working VERY hard to overcome it and rather successfully I might add. Keep in mind that's one of the core issues with the use of drones. They remove "humans" from the morality and humanity of a situation, turning deadly operations into a score-keeping video game with a great deal less accountability and conscience.
Or I could just call it "terminator vision" and hope people understand the depth of what I mean.
That, of course, would not happen. "Gold standards" have been destroyed by the central banks of the world. Global fraud as to the location and quantity of gold available is still a quiet and under-reported scandal. It is not in the interests of the banks to rely on something which they cannot easily manipulate. We have seen that a great deal in the past even to the point that they over-sold gold and silver certificates by a wide margin. They always seek to do this and will always seek to do this. These kinda of things are the reasons banking regulations have been put into place. And now they wish to deregulate. What could possibly go wrong?
The generalities and principles of what I speak are pretty universal. It is arrogant to believe that those general principles do not hold true for all time.
That's a good point. You're saying manipulating currency wouldn't be as "noticable." But it would be even more dangerous. Controlling the money means controlling the world. The US does not control the world and the world has been pushing back to prove it. This is not delusion. This is watching events from other global perspectives, not just the carefully selective feeds available in the US.
Well since you put it that way, I guess it's all okay because "everyone is [likely] doing it." But apparently that isn't really the case. In fact, the US is one of the greatest sources of spyware both commercial and "unsanctioned." We sell it to governments like Iran on a regular basis. And if other governments were really doing it, do you think they believed we weren't while they were? They kept using all US technologies the entire time? I find that to be highly unlikely. I think what fits observable reality better is that they aren't doing it (infecting exported products and services) and believe the US wouldn't be that bold or stupid as it would literally jeopardize the US's global marketplace if it were discovered.
If you test that theory against observable reality, I'd say that fits much better than what you're suggesting.
Regulation they are seeking to remove was not an arbitrary measure. In fact, the regulation of government which is the constitution was not an arbitrary measure. For many hundreds, if not thousands of years, people have known well and understood human nature and the nature of currencies. We keep having to re-learn many of these things as if they are new or our arrogance makes us believe old measures are no longer applicable.
A simple truth is this. The only way for man to be more than he is, is to live within a structure of laws which limit the harm we can do to one another while enabling the best of what we can do.
The nature of financial regulation is to limit the harm that can be done to the world's financial systems. It is generally agreed that the prior global financial crisis (which is still going on, I will remind you) was the result of similar collusion to relax regulations. The harm of 'the first wave' is still being felt and remedies of the causes have been limited. (Aren't you at all concerned that the markets are enjoying amazing vibrancy while the pedestrian [producing] economy is still pretty bad?) To allow a second wave to occur simply because it hsn't been finalized is to fail to appreciate the general nature of what is being attempted.
What you are advocating is dangerous and akin to "let's pass it so we can see what is in it." And in the US where there is a dark and ugly history of legislation being passed in the dead of night? You would trust to let things get that close? I think you trust government too much.
Multiple currencies means that currencies, and the nations backing them, compete and values will fluctuate against one another but, in theory, not terribly so. We can see the problems of the manipulations of the US dollar even now and the "QE" is still going on meaning they are continuing to devalue the dollar. Imagine that kind of scamsmanship on a 100% global scale?
A world currency means whoever controls the currency controls the world. There is no, and can be no, democracy there. There is none in the US where the privately owned and controlled Federal Reserve Bank system is concerned. And before you or anyone else says "but they are accountable to..." Yeah? Learn about the year-after-year-after-year continuing effort to do an audit on the Federal Reserve and see how far we have gotten. They AREN'T accountable to anyone as long as we cannot intervene, let alone review what they are doing.
What they are trying to do is pretty obvious. The final will not differ greatly from the drafts. We have seen all of this before. Your wait and see attitude is what enables the creep to go forward. It's time to be done with that. It just doesn't work.
This is the point of all this. As these things are happening, they need to be stopped not after they are enacted. Do you prefer to prevent disease or cure it after it happens?

Yes and this emergency law is there to legitimize what they are already doing in advance of legal battles.
