The US always has, and always will, be a big bully on the global economic scene.
I doubt anyone will dispute that it is right now, but who's to say they're not cutting themselves short in the long run? For all you know 10 years from now Mexico decides they really want that Canadian lumber and big boats, just outside US territorial waters to avoid random searches, will sail north and south all the time while waving to the people peering through the tiny holes in the big concrete wall on the shore. The world economy is constantly shifting and at some point the US will have to make some changes.
Our 286 had one of those locks in the front my dad used when I was left at home alone and for some reason wasn't supposed to use the pc. Oh well, there's a first time for everything, including opening up a pc and discovering just how easy it is just to rip out the connector to the motherboard.
iirc from the last time this subject was discussed in this particular case hate speech was defined as racist A using Orkut to notify racist B, C and D that nigger X was to get his head bashed in at location Y.
Oh, you have no idea how many pc's end up in my possession because they're "broken" and "maybe you could use the parts?". Or...I could just replace the flimsy power supply for 25 Euros and have a fully functional Celeron 1500 with 256MB Ram and a 40 Gig harddrive. Now all I need is one of them switchboards where you can run 4 pc's off of one monitor and keyboard...
But as for sorting it out, pretty soon a big war will kill off most of the poor, and just like it did in the Renaissance and after WWII that'll fix things.
Not unless you add the babyboom generation as a top priority to the target list. Pretty soon they're all gonna be retired and someone's gotta pay for that. Killing off the generation that'll still be productive for the next 40 years won't make things any better....hmmm, reinstate military service, only this time call on folks that are 65+? Now that might fix the economy;)
Congress also spends billions of dollars on the Interstate Highways, yet they don't monopolize over-the-road trucking; truckers use the infrastructure and theoretically pay taxes to do so (levied on diesel fuel). We all know that they don't come close to paying for the damage they do to the infrastructure...but that's a different discussion.
One could argue that the highways repay themselves in far more ways than just that of the levy on fuels used to cross them. Transport = business = tax.
Gentlemen, your internet tubes also connect to places like... Belarus and Sao Paulo. These places give less than a shit about horse porn - what makes you think they'd care about online gambling?
They don't have to. It's the transactions on your VISA card to and from those locations that will get you, and possible VISA itself as well, into trouble.
If you have a proportional representation system, it's much easier for extreme groups to develop and thrive -- remember, the National Front got nearly 20% of the vote in France and their leader made it into the second round of the election. And they're like freaken Nazis.
The voting for the NF was a clear sign by the french public that they had had it with the state of affairs. That is how voters represent themselves, remember? By voting. The fact that 20% of a country got up and basically gave the government the finger by saying "look mate, even this total freak is more competent than you are" is admirable in itself. Ofcourse Chirac easily won the second round and nothing effectively changed.
Now try to imagine 20% of the american public getting up, giving the government the finger and voting "fringe party x". Unlikely that would ever happen though, americans being as indoctrinated as they are.
It would still be a problem -- just like Windows XP requiring a username before completing the installation is a problem in other circumstances.
Annoying indeed...wtf do I need 2 administrator accounts for? Long story short, first time you boot after installing, do it in safe mode and you never get bothered by the "create a new user" screen. Afterwards you can add a normal user or super-user account.
That's upwards of $3k per computer, how in hell did it get to this ridiculous figure? Being an european myself and in-the-know about the ways of social-democracy I have some nice theories indeed, but being less than IT--related I'll spare the rest of you.
Ever consider the costs relating to the person sitting in front of the damn thing? Human beings are a lot more expensive than the workstations they work with.
Sorry, but I very much appreciate either a help or a readme to tell me what to look at if I can't get something working. Yes, I am perfectly capable of finding the readme.txt in the folder where the program was installed, but why hassle? If I really wanted to get rid of it I can always delete the shortcut, right? Same goes for links to websites that deal with troubleshooting. If the program doesn't work, you can't access the built-in help or links.
Then gas was dumped on the with GTA and all its little buddies coming out after it. And its a convenient thought that someone who plays those games commits violent crimes.
Good thing then that the first thing I saw on opening this article was a big ad for GTA Liberty City stories. So, am I supposed to play the game first or can I go outside and shoot someone now?:)
Not exactly an apt metaphor - a botnot can't kill you, and you would only be affected if you didn't have a virusscanner/firewall/security combo. (Even Windows has a firewall now!)
Oh indeed, and that's gonna be a lot of help when script kiddie x starts to dDos your personal machine/website/irc servers.

no idea. My bass guitar is 32 years old and still has its original strings...might explain why it's a bit on the wobbly side though ;-)
you mean the little option that's been in TweakUI for the past 11 years or so, "prevent application from stealing focus"?
and who's this kid you keep asking to come and get you?

It is both a "god-like being" and "A person who has no talent and little knowledge of the job that they perform."
Senior management!
no, that's a "pentagon-ho", otherwise generally referred to as "general". pentaho simply means 5 hookers.

Uh... yeah. Not too terrible. You made $15 an hour.

Indeed, and only a total idiot would base his decision on what to upgrade to a year from now based on what happens to be hot hardware right now...
