What gives you the idea that Spanish is a gutter language? Spain is a country as dignified and noble as France or England with a similarly interesting history as the other two countries.
Listen here Pollyanna, global trade IMPROVES economies. We have a very low rate of unemployment and it has continued to decrease as we have made more and more trade agreements with other countries. Protectionist policies lead to STAGNATION and HIGHER rates of unemployment.
Then again that would be obvious to anyone who's taken Economics 101....
To be fair humanity doesn't really benefit from having a bunch of pampered wives sitting down on their fat asses watching Oprah all day under the guise of "raising" the family.
The US is a nation of over 280 million individuals. 5 million of those individuals make more than $1 million a year. And thats just the $1 million cut off point. If lowered to $500,000 a year there's way more than 5 million.
Um every brand of car marker produces lemons but on the whole Japanese cars are the most reliable. The worst thing you could do is to purchase an American car made in the last 25 years. Ugh.
Yes I am alright with teachers getting paid what they're currently paid. If a professional athlete sucks, he gets fired or let go. If a teacher sucks, she gets a damn raise.
And no, teachers aren't the most important profession. I would argue parenting is. But they don't get paid squat for that now do they other than some piddling tax credits. Considering how kids who are HOME SCHOOLED consistently rack up higher scores on standardized tests and university entrance exams I really don't think the teaching profession is worth much of a damn.
Maybe the US just isn't the country for you. Perhaps you should move to a country where the government to disasterous effect controls the wages of all professionals and makes sure teachers are paid more than atheletes.
Do you ever get dizzy from up there on your high horse?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I know you "mean well" and all with your utopian plans of providing for the homeless and eduction but unfortunately due to the fact that we're HUMANS that means we need to arrainge our economies in a capitalist fashion.
We could try socialism but obvious examples have already demonstrated the sheer humanitarian horror that that produced.
And where do you get off telling someone that going outside and pretending to be as good at sports as a pro is would be enjoyable? Why put your body at risk of injury when you can watch others play a game better than you'd ever be able to? Don't you think thats a bit condescending?
I used to think like you do about sports. But then I realized that sports are really a great way to get to know other people by establishing a common ground. You can mock them and the people who like them all you want but I would bet my compiler that sports nuts have deeper and more meaningful friendships and social contacts than any slashdot geek does.
Ok not new because we've all heard this kind of gripe before but here goes again anyway,
Look when you write and release open source software you lose control over who can do what with it. Especially when you write the software under a corporate ass rapeable BSD license you pretty much say to the world "Here take the fruits of my hard labor and profit from it without sending me a dime. Thats right I hereby give you the right to take my work and leave my penniless while you profit so greedily from it you are able to afford 5 whores at each house you own. And not cheap whores either, but those high class escort $600 an hour fine ass type bitches. Ok thank you and have a nice day."
So who's really to blame here for this situation? Apple for being smart and capitalizing on an opportunity or the touchy feely, if we just think good thoughts the world will turn out all all right open source idealists?
The Federal Trade Commission has far more important cases to worry about than mere annoying popup ads. Try to gain some non-Slashdot/non-geek perspective here.
Hey as they used to say in those old McDonalds commercials, It could happen!
One plausable explanation is perhaps they've never encountered a species as technologically advanced as humanity and never had the cuthroat hacker environments on their own homeworlds that would raise their defenses against external hacks.
Just because they've achieved space travel doesn't mean they have to be as advanced or better than us in EVERYTHING ELSE.
Biological lifeforms, both bacterial and viral are smart enough to eventually overcome most drugs we throw their way. That should keep the drug companies in business for a very long time.
Small companies are the backbone of this country. There are more small companies then large companies and more people employed BY small companies then by large companies.
No one should give a crap about what I think about RMS. But this website, Slashdot is full of people who are affected by Stallman's opinions either negatively or positively. His silence on this matter is disturbing. The free software community could use RMS's moral support right about now and it is not getting it.
Whether you wish to concede it or not the GPL was rammed down your throat if you use GPL software. Were it not for RMS's inhuman persistence in defending his license and the software that covers it the software you use would be issued under another license. Furthermore we would all have been spared such rambling literature such as "The Cathedral and The Bazaar".
Basically what I am saying is that folks like Eben Moglen represent the cold analytical side of Free Software while RMS represents the Lion Heart. This battle so far has no heart. Not a good thing in my personal opinion.
A prenup is always wise. That being said most of what you said is true. But let me ask you, you are sure she won't go haywire or start using drugs or beating kids but how do you know she isn't sleeping with the mailman or a co-worker or whatever? I keep my AOL account because of the easy casual sex hookups it provides but one thing I have noticed when looking thru member profiles is how many people both men and women are using the internet to find extra-marital lovers. And the spouses are usually oblivious.
That being said adultery isn't the biggest cause of divorce. Money problems are. One spouse spends too much, doesn't understand how money works....etc. Its insidious and horrible but it happens. This is why there's usually a power imbalance in most relationships. One partner usually has more common sense then the other. Its hard to put up with that kind of a lopsided relationship forever though and thats why we have such a high rate of divorce.
You got lucky, most people don't find someone who is a non-moron.
Unacceptable. Richard Stallman is the point man for the GPL. I know RMS also founded the FSF and therefore Eben Moglen could be thought of as his spokesman.
However this is RMS we're talking about here. He didn't just market the GPL, he rammed it down our throats. So I think its more than appropriate to expect him to be more forth-coming in his defense of his PRECIOUS! license.
Despite the most well intentioned efforts it is quite simply impossible to predict the future. There is no way for example, Mrs. Patric Naughton could have predicted that her future husband would turn out to be a pedophile.
There are many many things that one cannot forsee. Only when you are living with them on an everyday basis do they come to light.
He tried to convince the world that his precious invention, the General Public License could stand up to crap like this. Well looky here, it isn't standing up too well!
So I ask you, all of you, where is RMS!? Why is he so silent on the SCO issue? Why can he rant and rave for endless hours about most subjects but on this most precious subject of them all is he silent?

What are you some sort of immature child?
The reason why advertising exists is because people AND companies like to make money.
Money you moron, MONEY.

You didn't like Independance Day?
Seriously what the fuck?
I know that everyone can't like all or any movie but it was a damn good movie. What exactly was your problem with it?
Biological lifeforms, both bacterial and viral are smart enough to eventually overcome most drugs we throw their way. That should keep the drug companies in business for a very long time.
Are you jealous of the Yuppie's money or good looks?
You aren't fooling anyone. Everyone knows that those who critique the Young Urban Professional People secretly desire to be just like them.
Considering the abrupt and seemingly unfinished ending of the first movie, I'm no so sure I want to get too worked up over a sequel.
Not even Windows 95 would crash that often while performing such simple tasks as PRINTING.
Either your wife is especially stupid with computers or you've had an extraordinary string of bad luck.
Small companies are the backbone of this country. There are more small companies then large companies and more people employed BY small companies then by large companies.
If you don't like the way this site is moderated, you can always take your eyeballs elsewhere.
Thats actually the best answer I've gotten so far to my query.
