I remember during the last BART contract negotiations, workers were passing out flyers to riders. one of the flyers said "shouldn't bart workers have the right to own a home in the bay area?" fuck that shit. do you think I can afford a home in the bay area? I'm an engineer, and I make things for a living. I don't have a union that can hold a city hostage until I get my way and secure my right for $million home ownership. ,br>also, what a sight this is, jcr and noh8rz agree.
no, the right to demand $$$ and 30 hour weeks and piles of benefits for pushing buttons and driving a bus, when all the workers ON the bus are just trying go get to work so they can do real jobs. then you throw a fit like a baby to get even more benefits. Honestly, bus drivers get 4+ weeks of "sick pay" each year.
Your knowledge of history is lacking. If you think the US would have been better off if Snowden had kept his mouth shut, you are sorely mistaken.
nice straw man. I never said that. all I'm saying is that he should be prepared to take the heat for his actions, as Bitztream said above, instead of running to hide and yelling at the US for trying to catch him.
I think it was OK to relase the prism stuff because it was unconstitutional, but there's no reason for teh europe or china stuff. it's not unconstitutional. i call that traitorous.
oh come on, be reasonable. he's on the lam from US where he's indicted for treason and espionage. the US is trying to catch him. is this some violation of human rights? what did he expect would happen. I say to snowden, "don't be a tool." also, this "defender of people's freedoms" seeking asylum in russia, china, or NK? come on, what a hypocrite. this guy's a joke and a half. Obama is thankful for him the way he's thankful for assange, making all the drama about him instead of his revalations. way to go man! winning!
I don't understand what' sso bad about touch for an iWatch. you just poke it and swipe it. seems to be very intuitive! I agree about multitouch, but tap and swipe I don't see a problem with.
here's the dealio, yo. you have failed to offer any evidence to your assertion that Wikileaks accomplished anything of consequence in exposing US govt misdeeds to the american public. instead, like a coward, you have resorted to cruel and derogatory statements. i denounce you and your twisted world view. it is no world view of mine, and I will not devote further mental resources to this conversation. my only hope is that assange will be apprehended and returned to US for justice.
ok... what' i'm looking for here is a bulleted list of specific damning revelations that came to light through wikileaks. Items that I should be legitimately outraged about. For example, I am outraged by PRISM. that is an outrageous thing. but was there anything from wikileaks like that? I await your reply.
i appreciate your sentiments... but for reals, what specific government misdeeds did wikileaks reveal that should shock me or make me lose faith in my govt? not a rhetorical question, which items of note were exposed? I cannot remember a single notable thing in this regard.
how did I, as an american, benefit from assange's actions against my country? srsly, what ill deeds did he expose that justified him releasing so much else classified and damaging?
How does the gun help if the staff has gone home overnight?
idk why dont u ask the thousands of gun owners who protected their families and property from unlawful intruders last year. I'm sure they could give you some insights into how the "gun helped".
literal much? the sale of books must support the publishing and writing industry. No bucks? No buck rogers (stories, that is). When you don't make any money selling books, you don't pay authors, so authors don't write. Enjoy reading blogs for the rest of your life, because I assume you don't put any value on anything more literary than xkcd. jerk.
this whole case is absurd. Yes, the iBooks deals raised prices on consumers. But that's only because Amazon was selling below cost to drive bookstores, and ultimately publishers, out of business. And this case was filed by a lawyer in Amazon's building. Way to go, DOJ! being a proxy pawn for a market manipulator.
Late 90s, apple licensed their OS and nearly disappeared. The first thing sj did was break those contracts. So check yourself before you wreck yourself, eh?
this is all about CP, and to a lesser extent, LOIC etc. I'm all for altruism for the benefit of my neighbors, but I'm not going to open myself to this risk.
how many patents are currently active? 2 million? more? you want 2 million reports describing how a patent has been developed each year, and if a patent is sitting in a drawer, so wat? use it or lose it? well, i prefer to live in the US of A where governemtn doesnt tell businesses and people what to do. maybe in europe you think its different.

I love all this Snowden stuff... it's like a real life John LeCarre novel! Let me go get the popcorn...

you have no idea what the fuck your talking about, why don't you crawl back in your hole and come out in a thousand generations.
maybe if you weren't such a fuckhead the world would be a better place.
oh good because congress isn't polarized enough

I want to know, why did he stop doing those commercials with jerry seinfeld? those were awe-sum.
and now that ebooks are a monoculture? and amazon going vertical into its own publishing? we are all better off? hmm?
