The reason for the "well-regulated militia" is to have the ability to stand up to an oppressive government. Put yourself in the position of the people who wrote that document... Do you think hunting was the reason they made the second amendment? What did they just finish doing? Fighting an oppressive government. The people should have the right to stand up to their government.
I can't believe this would be considered news? Facebook figures out how to do a redirect to a HTTPS page. No wonder their IPO was a flop... It will be amazing if they are here in a year.
I definitely think they have a responsibility to help others, but I would not go so far as to say that It should be done to prevent being looked down on. Why doesn't the football star go play catch with the geek who spent all day reading about geometry? I agree with you, but I think it needs to be done in all aspects of life that is what will advance us all.
I believe in equality as well. Everyone should work equally as hard, and get their due. I was not implying that it was any scheme to bring down the top, I was referring to the fact that any type of success is met with bullying. Now I understand you can get beyond it and become so filthy rich that you don't care, or so smart that people have no choice but listen(we could hope). I posted a provocative comment that was definitely on topic, but also to illicit conversation from the masses.
We are all in this together, and we need to start acting like it. Should the rich pay more taxes? Damn right...Should the smart kid lead the class? Do I have to ask?
Actually, I think my comment and the one from 14erCleaner are 100% on topic. Children are taught very young that to be different is to be wrong. Good grades are different from the norm unfortunately, and the kid gets pummeled for it.
People who argue about the topics we just pointed out suffer the same fate (in a way). The point is that it is a learned behavior , and starts very young.
If it is running Pick, the process is super simple! Copy the data directory over to a machine running openQM, or ScarletDME and import it. There will be some small issues, but it should function.
It is definitely interesting... Scary even! What kind of government functions could be brought online if it is assumed that everyone has high speed internet access? I understand the argument for persistent access to the internet being an economic boost. I use my smartphone every day. I am not sure that I agree that it should just be everywhere and "FREE".
I can't think of a single social innovation that is worth the cost. It is definitely worth discussing. It just shouldn't be mandated from some office somewhere, by someone completely unqualified, and towards a goal that they probably wouldn't agree with anyway.
No legs at all. Since when should everybody else pay for it? Why should any government provided Internet access? It should be a source of income for those telecom companies.
I see a lot of admins in very large companies throw labor at a problem as their first course of action. It is typically a face palm moment for me as I often see the problems as fixable in minutes. I believe that all sysadmins should be able to program, but think that making a programmer a sysadmin is generally a bad idea.
2Cents, you are absolutely right. Even in windows systems, a basic understanding of what can be done with code can stop 5 people from running around to a couple hundred machines each.
Should the sysadmin be a programmer? Not in the conventional sense, but they should be able to programmatically attack the problems placed before them before they just brute force their way through them.
I was going to say that deficits cause global warming... it is the same hockey stick. If we solve global warming, we will fix the US deficit, AND!!! Stop piracy.
Back on topic... All causation as we have defined it is correlation, but the converse is not necessarily true, i.e. where we find correlation we cannot always predict causation.
This is pretty cool overall. I would like to see the resulting arguments regarding global warming, the economy, cancer, mercury poisoning, and whatever else comes out.
Out of curiosity, which copier brand? I have seen it done on newer generation Ricoh, Canon, and Sharp. Xerox probably locks the machine out, because they are crazy like that.

What assault rifle????
You want guns to be the problem.

Tell that to the people who were victims of bombings. This should be an interesting read, even though it is from 1997.

2217 bombing incidents in one year.

So if the NY Post says it is an assault rifle, that makes it true?

Yep, I agree 100%, but I also know that it does not end there. Everyone who succeeds at something will be attacked by those who did not.
Even better... How do you turn it around. I wanna win that bet on the world series.

And the assault on people that do well financially.
That people feel they need to hide their abilities because they would do better than others.
A private seller should be able to put any price they want on something. $100000 for a bubble gum wrapper if they want.

Could not resist... Sorry!
The methane in the atmosphere is causing swassal warming!

Isn't hindsight always 20/20?

I was not saying that it was a good idea, just that it could be done.
We are a copier company, and in many years I have not seen or heard of a machine that would lockout in this situation.
Actually, you can easily copy the currency on any machine. Just place a paperclip on glass with the bill.
Not quite ;)
