Just because a couple of idiots in some school district did something dumb doesn't make it an epidemic. And just because the tv shows you watch hype the crap out of these stories all day long doesn't make it an epidemic either.
Stephen Colbert said it best: "Reality has a well known liberal bias."
You're implying that being educated makes one a liberal.
I'm sad that you got modded down, not because I agree with you, but because people need to see this. There is a segment of our population that hate educated people. I get skeptical comments when I point this out.
Maybe you're being sarcastic and it went over my head. Joke is on me?
PostgreSQL Database Modeler, or simply, pgModeler is an open source tool for modeling databases that merges the classical concepts of entity-relationship diagrams with specific features that only PostgreSQL implements. The pgModeler translates the models created by the user to SQL code and apply them onto database clusters from version 8.0 to 9.1. **
I wish yum handled this better. I've been getting by with the yum-plugin-show-leaves, it at least tells which packages are new leaves when you uninstall something. Have you tried yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves ? Quote:
This extension removes unused dependencies which have been incorporated by an installation package that would otherwise not be removed. Helps maintain a system clean of libraries and unused packages.
I don't think you understand how it works down here. Down here people live their lives knowing that corporations have more rights than everyone else the same way that the aristocracy had rights that commoners and peasants did not have in olden times. Your Canadian values are not welcome down here.:-)
Let's see gays - that's one I'll have to give you. The gay marriage thing is debatable, but too many Republicans would even outlaw gay relationships if it weren't for the recent, and baseless, supreme court decision.
And this makes them far more dangerous than you're willing to acknowledge. What do you think the Santorum/Robertsen types would do if they managed to make abortion and same-sex marriage illegal? They would ban the music you listen to, the video games you play, and then they would go after the way you dress, which church you go to, the group you congregate with etc. Once thugs have gained power, they seek more power. Doesn't this totally remind you of the taliban?...
abortion - right to life trumps other rights. You can't kill someone just because they're inconvenient.
Wrong. Nice right-wing inflammatory rhetoric. This is about the right to make your own medical choices without government interference.
hiring - the Democrats tell you who you have to work with.
Wrong. Prohibiting hiring discrimination is not the same thing as discrimination.
hiring - the Democrate tell you how much you have to pay and in general what you and another person can agree to.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
running a restaurant - the Democrats tell you whether you can smoke and Bloomberg (Democrat who switched parties but not stripes so he could run) even wants to tell you how big your drinks can be.
Bloomberg can't do that thankfully, but no one should have the right to force me to inhale their smoke. Plus, there ought to be enforcement for kitchen sanitation practices. Nice try though.
racism - the Democrats forbid people from rejecting racism. Either hire based on race (and do school admissions based on race) or face the wrath of Democrats
Yeah, this is the same thing as yelling the N-word to a staffer on his way to work. (that's sarcasm, btw)
heath care - the Democrats tell you what kinds of health care you need to pay for
Wrong. This about making health care companies provide you what you paid for. This is about prohibiting local monopolies.
money - the Democrats take your money so they choose how it is spent
You mean like how I'm paying for wars that I didn't support? Oh, you mean paying for Haliburton for services they didn't deliver? You mean giving money to oil companies?
money - the Democrats take your children's money (though Republicans at times have joined them in doing so) so they can decide how your children's future earnings will be spent today.
The only freedom Democrats seem to respect is sexual freedom. To them all other freedom's are subject to government whim. And on sexual freedom they are so extreme that they work to remove the responsibility that should come with all freedoms and instead have everyone pay for it whether or not they participate, or even approve of it.
What about warrant-less wire-tapping? Indefinite detention? You cannot support either party if you care at all about personal liberties.
If you think you're informed or balanced, you're not. You're just wrong. Lay off that fox news crack pipe.
I don't know a lot of people who are happy with the Democrats but you made me think about how they're different than this group of Republicans and that makes me support the Democrats more than I did before. Thanks, I guess?
I love this rant because it shows exactly what unhinged rage looks like. I imagine that you can be easily manipulated to hate.
Jobs was a genius and did great things for computing. He recognized the great work at PARC and bought it way before other people saw the value. The app store, for all its flaws and problems is a great execution of a great idea. You can tell how brilliant it was because it looked so obvious once it was up and by how eagerly the competition copied it almost pixel for pixel.
Apple’s overactive approach to defending its patents may sometimes make it look like one of the industry’s biggest bullies, but you may be surprised to hear that the Cupertino used to patent hardly anything. In fact, it only began patenting its inventions after years of patent suit losses, one of which saw the company fined $100 million for creating the iPod. In 2006, Apple was sued by Creative Technology when its iPod infringed a patent for a “portable music playback device.” After that, co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs vowed to patent everything Apple invented, according to a New York Times report, and when it came to the iPhone, he declared “we’re going to patent it all.”
90% of what you know as a "computer" was invented by apple in the 80s and 90s. If anyone deserves to hold these patents, it's apple.
To me it looks like projects licensed under the GPL are more free, than those under other licenses, especially the MIT and Apache licenses. It might be fair to say that there is one restriction on vendors of GPL-licensed projects. So, when you have to choose between the GPL and other licenses, maybe prioritising the long term freedom of the project over those of vendors or developers might sway you to go with the GPL.
NB: I've never read the MIT or Apache licenses. I've (tried to) read the GPL.
Do you realise that? These are the people that _like_ KDE and are going out of their way to report their findings. These are valuable members of the community and excellent ambassadors.
You're dismissing their feedback. This is what the MacOS8 guys were doing before Steve returned. Srsly.
I did a fresh install of my favourite distribution and I'm very disappointed with how buggy KDE is. And I'm a KDE fanbois, no joke. But explaining away short-comings isn't going to improve KDE, never has, never will.
Even if KDE's default is usable, that doesn't explain kmail's failure to receive some messages where mutt and apple's mail have no issues. When konsole is full-screen on one monitor of a dual monitor set up, apps under konsole don't come to the fore when I ALT+TAB to them. And more.
FWIW, I'm still using KDE daily and have learned to work with it. But please, for the love of GUI, please no new features until the most egregious bugs have been fixed.
You believed in global warming but now you believe something else. Still a believer. You're not informed. You're not a skeptic, you're a believer.
There are people in the GW camp who are alarmists and conspiracy nuts, but you're not different from them.
I got bored with you 'citing' the 'experts' without showing any example. You watch too much fox news. You're post nicely models the fox news style of alarmism, blaming the 'experts' or whatever bogeyman you need at the time.
Speaking of fox news, the people who are vilifying 'socialism' are the echo chamber for the fox news and tea party crowd. Whatever skepticism I had with socialism has not been affirmed or contradicted by the crowd that calls Obama a muslim and a socialist. I lost more respect for your post when you started using 'socialist' as a label.
I feel the same way. Further, as a mac fanboy, I'm conflicted. I accepted the terms on the the iphone because in addition to the other things the iphone had going for it, it was the most open platform I knew of. Other phone's terms for downloading MY data from MY phone were so infuriatingly insulting that the iphone felt very liberating. But I'm bristling at the thought of not controlling what should be a laptop alternative.
This thread is not complete with mentioning the Elphel. Some instructions. If this roadmap entry is up to date, you'll have to choose a specific elphel model.

Libertarianism itself is hypocritical...

Seriously though, are you saying it is internally inconsistent as a philosophy? If so, I would find it hard to distinguish from Anarchism.

Hey! No one cares!
We're here to hate on apple. Keep your history and information to yourself. Unless you can use it to make us hate on apple some more.

Steve Jobs Vowed To Patent Everything Apple Invented After Being Stung By $100m iPod Fine
90% of what you know as a "computer" was invented by apple in the 80s and 90s. If anyone deserves to hold these patents, it's apple.
They haven't done anything with the Mac Pro line for so long, there's nothing for the generic manufacturers to imitate.

Is a blog post enough to know that they really changed their mind? Is their private support of SOPA the same as their public support?
