I would like you to cite sources to your fun fact of, "There have been much more white and Asian slaves in America than have blacks," and also the empirical data you have regarding, "No, they are not the smartest or most advanced race." I don't suspect an anoncow to come up with sources, but, "Fun Facts," unlike, "Foaming Factoids," should, indeed, be confirmable; yet, people love to use the former when they mean the latter, and it doesn't help when media sources are unaware that, "Factoid," means resembling a fact without possessing any of the evidence required to be one.
In fact, contributing members of the media seem to think, "Factoid," means, "Small and inoffensive fact barely of any interest except as a side note to this one piece." This may come from the use of planetoid, which, due to mass and relativity, is usually smaller than what constitutes a planet. That's just my geeky theory, I don't have any evidence regarding the evolution of the term, "Factoid," and I believe only a pop etymologist would have the background and resources to check for it; therefore, confirming the cause of the confusion is well outside of my field of meta-expertise.
If Mexican drug cartels can hunt them down, doing something that would constitute terrorism would probably end unity among Anonymous. Your supporting logic is solid, but the initiating cause of the claim ignores the way businesses actually look at such practices and long term economic effects. If such things had an effect, Anonymous would be able to force a removal of non-public funding for campaigns just by supporting Occupy Wallstreet more aggressively.
Because black people aren't more likely to go to jail when accused of a crime, which guarantees they can hold two-parent families just fine! Excellent knowledge. Luckily, people closer to poverty aren't likely to have unprotected sex at an earlier age, having children at an earlier age, which is known to be a common element to single parenting. Thankfully, though, young single parents aren't less likely to unsuccessful to have long lasting relationships that may lead to marriage and restoration of a two-parent household. Good thing the United States hasn't experienced veritable stagflation since the 60s, ensuring that two people working different shifts can make enough to manage the needs of their household without accumulating debt that could eventually deprive them of the security they otherwise had.
Of course, if any of that is wrong, your logic would be vastly flawed. So, if anyone challenges the legitimacy of your claim, here's some studies to hunt down:

And idea is something that can be tested, abstracted, projected, compared and conditionally analyzed. regardless of whether an institutionalized 13 year old with down syndrome said it, or a 31 year old prodigal savant with tenure wrote a thesis around it. As far as the basis of a philosophy, that's what philosophy is! You start with a scalable logically constructed concept on which to construct an overall basic logic, and then expound upon into all relatable fields. Stallman believes that anyone capable of making an informed an intelligent decision that does nothing to harm or limit the rights of others should be allowed to do so. This philosophy is the core of the point in the/. introduction of the article.
Wallstreet, for example, has been able to expand its investment opportunities based solely on the short-term expansion of opportunities for others while obfuscating the information for an informed decision, all of which has been made legal due to the commercial nature of the US election process. Much of Occupy Wallstreet is about removing the obfuscation and overall ability to hide or control information, and getting rid of the ability to use the profits from those practices to maintain the legitimacy of that process.
The reason ideas are important, ignoring the love of empiricity that found the Enlightenment that found the United States, is because Ideas Stand Alone. They can be objectively and critically reviewed. If you do that with a human being, having all information available, human beings almost always can be made to look like ignorant and twisted individuals. Everyone has a level of undesirable traits at some point in their lives, and if condensed together, almost anyone could be made to look less than the ideal human being.
However, an idea can be shared by anyone, even entirely abstract computer models, and be tested for validity in someway, or otherwise scaled or planned for when the ability comes about. Take the Other Worlds Hypothesis popular in the Enlightenment, we now possess the Drake equation to allow us to theorize the probability of contact long before we might actually visit one.
Racism shouldn't be wearing thin unless you failed history class. All groups coming out of a state of unclassed citizenry had a long time of second-class citizenry that followed.
If you want to see a parallel with Jews, that would be a quick and easy comparison we could otherwise review at length. Under the rule of Islam nearly a millenium and on half ago, most Jews were actually banned from Jerusalem. Side note, during this time, the city, being the site of Mohammed's ascension, was the location that the Islamic Caliphate instructed to which all worship/prayer should be directed, and not Mecca. After they were allowed back into their city in general, they had brief relief under the peaceful and open terms of the Constitution of Medina, which was neither funky or cold.
However, the preceding 200 years of Christian abuses under Byzantium, like, the popularized sermon of "St." John Chrysostom's 'Against the Jews' and 'On the Statues, Homily 17', resulted in groups, like the Sunni, to adopt a very anti-Jewish stance (which may have been the source of the two very anti-Semitic statements in the Quran)*. They would be forced out of the region altogether, along with any non-Muslim groups. This wave would reverse and the pro-Constitution of Medina crowd would win out, heralding a Renaissance-like atmosphere of Jewish advancement...until about the start of the second millennium.
Anti-Semitism finally became a permanently integrated into Islamic practices and social culture. The Granada Pogrom would follow re-instituted segregation, kicking off a solidly anti-Semitic millennium. Being Jewish meant restrictions to food in droughts, water sources at all times, ownership of land, the ability to live or work an populous areas and an extra tax on all aspects of your life. Jewish access to education was limited to their own internal provisions, and during some periods, altogether.
As they were always a minority in just about every city and land, they could do nothing about it forcibly, and they were easily prevented from holding any office of value, and in some places, they would not be allowed to go by titles that may have been suggestive of an important position, which ended a brief period of using lingua franca for their titles, thus today, Rabbi is still more generally used than Teacher*. The extremes even included not being able to defend themselves if children up to the age of 15 and even 19 were to start throwing stones.
* * * * *
And now, the condensed time frame of Aftrican Americans, because there is more than some merit for the comparison you chose*.
As we all know, approximately three minutes after the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, the slaves rose up, defeated the Confederacy, were given land, post-Confederate pension and free education.
This would later be mirrored by other decisions, like not outlawing cannabis when the only witness the Senate could produce clearly testified non-medical use was relatively harmless from an objective perspective. After all, it's not like the Senate would ignore the closest thing to an empirical study they could obtain, declare a cause of, "It's for the chilldren," all for the purpose of creating an excuse to put quotas on Mexican immigration.
WHOA! Sorry, neither of these happened that way. Crap, now I'll have to burn all of my, what did those stinking Mexicans call it? "Marijuana?" That DOES sound more dangerous than the cannabis Queen Victoria used to help with her menstrual cramps and headaches.
Believe it or not, the intent was to do nearly that, the Emancipation thing, not the weed thing. However, the Confederate soldiers kept their pensions, land was made available as part of the usual expansionist grants, and education was whatever poorer areas that the majority of the pseudo-post enslavement sub-culture could afford to live in*.
The Freemen were originally to have all the rights of citizen available to them; however, much of the post-Confederate former-Confederate citizens didn't fully a
This doesn't work, someone does this already and have been doing it for over 5772 years. Most people with this mind set never consider this...the Moon doesn't actually have 28 days to its cycle. If you doubt that, look at a calendar that shows the moon phases. If the Moon had a 28 day cycle with four distinct phases, the new Moon would be on the same week day (28/4=7) every time. It's rare if it hits the same day consecutively.
While people alive today might be willing to believe the United States is all about claiming some religious basis, it was founded under progressive, pro-science Enlightenment Era philosophies. Many of the framers were known Deists who epistemologically demonstrated they felt mentioning God was a means of managing a moral base as the ideas of Rights v Powers had yet to make it clear that what many would claim as moral is often nothing more than a protection and clear definition of Rights.
Had Communism never been founded on pushing away the position or right to religion, the United States would not have undergone the near bizarre shift from which it will likely not recover. While people may insist it was our claim to religion that won the Cold War, it was really openness to cultures and development of the Sciences. For the fictional golden age of Jesus everywhere (as the personal interpretations would solidify, especially ex post facto), the reality is easily as obtainable from the media of the time: Nuclear development, computing advancements, rocketry and astrophysics, industrialized mass transit, affordable access to Universities, intensive educational programs from Middle School on, focusing on Science and Math.
When people seeking the fictional golden age just want to see a near Theocratic America, they forgot the advancements made by the Technocratic Americans. Proto-scientists founded the United States. Modern scientists won its political, economic and social contests. If you were an absolute ruler of a new nation, theocracy only wins you some supporters...nuclear weapons give you a seat at the big boy table.
What you call, "The Race to the Bottom," is in fact an essential link to making the Scale of Economy as rapidly effective as possible. Were you under some delusion that the original Apple computer was cutting edge from the then modern mini-computer perspective? Did you think the Motorola flip phones of the mid-nineties were the best cellular communications device available? There is a significant advantage, even without government subsidies to make things affordable to the poorer portions of the spectrum, to creating a basic experience as cheaply as possible.
Today's pre-data-plan-required phones are five times more powerful than my first computer and a quarter the cost without adjusting for inflation, and that is available thanks to what you have titled, "Race to the bottom [sic]." Whatever moderator thought you were insightful must have the understanding of Economics and technology development cycles as 1/3rd of the US Congress.
"Vote on everything," does not describe the US Congress. If you review the Congressional Record of the past year, either in Roll Call or the Thomas Jefferson Project, you will quickly see Congress, by way of the House of Representatives, doesn't vote on a lot. A quarter of what gets to the floor for an actual vote is non-binding, but more essential than that, very little actually gets to the floor.
Not getting to the floor isn't the result of Speaker Boehner's inability to wrangle votes, as pundits like to frame things, but this is also the result of the committee's themselves being unable to reach a resolution on things that, only a year or an administration ago, used to pass with little significant challenge. The committees themselves are voting on the same things over and over again believing they finally hit the version they can forward to the Speaker, only find someone's personal preference often results in some, "I can never compromise on X because X reflects how I feel about Y, and nothing good ever comes from compromising on Y."
James Madison thought we shouldn't have parties if they can't find a fair compromise. Clearly, James Madison would be back to his original view, that we shouldn't have parties. Note to UWMadison students: that's Political Parties, not keggers where the current counter-culture discuss politics.
This is slashdot. You are expected to know that the opening inclusion symbol (left curly-brace) or, "{", is the symbol for fountains. The number 6-9 are not used, while 1-5 are warnings given by the Ring of Warning.
Stop acting like a child. So you don't get the respect the wearers of big-boy pants do; why do you think that is? Have you considered that Person B had always been a whiney li'l twit what had it coming?
No, you just walk in on an abstraction and assume you know what's going on, but I've know Persons A, B, C and E for three years and D and G for two. I just met Persons F and H last week and won't comment on them, but lemme tell you, A has always been a 'hole and B whines about crap like this all of the time. Person E used to go out with Person A, but didn't appreciate being talked down to and Person B seems unaware that sex is a thing that happens.
I don't want to tell you about the frakked up deal between Persons D and G, but Person C told me that D and G used to think they were related, and now that they know they're not...well, it's still weird. I don't normally listen to Person C, but ever since I got a bleedin' ear-full from Person B about Person A, I'd rather keep all Person socializing to a minimum, but Person C just barges in from time to time when escaping this line of BS.
I opted out of a free, "Don't knock my Karma," option to definitively identify the problem with people like you, and I'm pretty sure that problem has something to do with your misplaced love for Amiga or OS/2. Since you swore, maybe it's Windows related? Either way, fuck you, Dude.
The truth comes out! Another hippie gets his door busted down due to Another Moment of Slashdot Honesty! And according to his browser, he'd been looking mighty hard at some of the Sagmartha indica collection at The Attitude Seedbank all summer long! Hide your bong, Hippie! It's not paranoia if the really ARE coming for you!
I haven't met many in the field who believe the lay-identified brown recluse bites as necrotic. In fact, going by expertly identified spiders, there are almost no signs of necrosis.
This story and your post are very clear about the assumed knowledge regarding the brown recluse.
I wouldn't do so much as move a mouse to defend the single-mindedness of this article, and I don't go to OSNews much as a general rule; however, it should be noted that if you compared news in the tech industry in general and lumped the relating bits together, you would find that the signal to noise ratio would often be the same for whatever you want to see specifically, including backgrounds of the individuals writing the news.
In 1998, an article on Linux was bound to be written by a Unix administrator or a representative of an "E Company." By 2001, more and more journalists, granted, tech journalists, were finally doing their Linux rounds with actual valid experience. Now, whomever was in college between 1998 to present is bound to have at least heard of Linux if not seen or even tried it (usually on campus or on a friend's system). People writing complaints and praises for Linux will come from more and more varied places. Linux is in that place today that computers in general were a decade ago.
Of four people I've met recently that use Linux systems, two are far outside the course of compu-geek, and are, ironically enough, women. One is a war vet and the other is a mother going back to college. The first picked Linux out of paranoia...that might tell us something about military goings on; the second picked Linux out of merely practical means: She bought a computer for cheap and the two operating systems she could choose from at the store were: Microsoft Windows 98 - $120, and Mandrake Linux - $68: and that's how she made her decision in 1999.
So, what kind of pr0n do you have on your system? We should share. I have 10 gigs of solid BDSM.
Actually, I was thinking about that story Slashdot had a couple years ago about placing the Home directory under CVS; I think with an inbetween kind of user (not root to avoid su task) a number of distros could benefit from this idea.
Naturally, you'll find my optical (see through) computer suspended in a case (while a real one hiding inside the case - or ceiling - is doing the actual work). And my delicious CRT-based 3D projector, which does work...except it only shows non-moving images. I have no knowledge how that'll be fictioned up.
As this will eventually ticker off, I've created a journal entry to keep track of the idea. (It's the only one, so, you can safely click the journal link to get to it.)

So, what kind of pr0n do you have on your system? We should share. I have 10 gigs of solid BDSM.
Actually, I was thinking about that story Slashdot had a couple years ago about placing the Home directory under CVS; I think with an inbetween kind of user (not root to avoid su task) a number of distros could benefit from this idea.

Naturally, you'll find my optical (see through) computer suspended in a case (while a real one hiding inside the case - or ceiling - is doing the actual work).

As this will eventually ticker off, I've created a journal entry to keep track of the idea. (It's the only one, so, you can safely click the journal link to get to it.)
Thank you. I did mean GNU/Linux in general, as many an AbiWord user might know. I'll keep these in mind for the future.
This is not a card, but software to function with typical-PC hardware that is geared primarily towards being a TiVo; a FreeVo, if you will.
I never said you can trust a Canadian; it could be, however, that osdn, in that case, may mean something else.
I'll make a note to go looking for one where something other than "just Windows" was being kept in mind.
I like this idea.
