It's not o.k. to do the same wrong onto people which those people have done onto you.
Why not? Have you any justification for that statement?
Just because they annoy you, you can't harass them.
Certainly I, or anyone, can. Perhaps you mean we shouldn't harass them, butyou're wrong in that, also.
As for illegality, that's the whole point. It's not illegal to call people; that's why there's a telemarketing industry! And, finally, shooting people who break into your house is often considered quite all right. Now go back to your telemarketing job.
Considering the well-established links between malignant mesothelioma and asbestos exposure, I'd say you're either a tin-foil helmeted nutjob, or your family owns asbestos mines.
Or both.

Well, the book basically *is* a polemic on the responsibilities of citizens. It's a tribute to Heinlein that he made it enjoyable at all.

I'd submit Heinlein's "Blowups Happen" and the similarly-themed "Nerves" by Del Rey. They both contain science that was unlikely when the stories were written, but timelessly great writing.
Massive agreement. Every time I hear Mariah Carey, I think: "Wow! She can do things with her voice no one else can! I really wish she wouldn't, though...."
I'm a monster Quake fan, and I think the Invasion of Iraq was an idiotic idea from the start. Now find my nine antagonists, and I'll grant you a point.
You're falling into that old trap, beloved of nutcases, which says games drive behavior. To paraphrase Chris Rock, how come nobody ever worries about the games Hitler played?
I'd like to get my teeth in the throat of the gene-damaged asslover who decided that, when searching for files in Windows, the default place to start should be the Start Menu.
I mean, what the fuck, Microsoft, why shouldn't the default be THE ONE PLACE YOU CAN SEARCH EASILY WITH YOUR GODDAMNED EYES?
Sorry. I feel better, almost.

It's a matter of incentive --- if people are going to be taken care of no matter whether or not they do any useful work, they simply aren't likely to do any useful work.
Ah, that would explain why conservatives aren't very worried about communism; obviously, in the Workers' Paradises, no one will do anything, and thus communism will pose no threat to the rest of the world.
I'm not as educated as I could be. Does 'tour de force' mean 'so completely wack that one must re-evaluate ever using mind-altering substances again in one's life' ?
Hold on a minute there, Driver Nazi. Would it be so god-awful if users had a choice of using the perfect, immaculate, "thinking out o' the box" closed source NVidia drivers, or using the rogue card-exploding, Commie-sympathizing, sodomy-inducing open source drivers? Sure, ATI would love to see the programming tricks in NVidia's drivers, and I know their sense of fair play keeps them from buying an NVidia board and running hardware debuggers to see what the drivers are doing. Whatever.
All good questions. I'm not knowledgeable about the internal workings of Qt/Embedded, but I know my Sharp Zaurus runs a version of Qt without running X at all.
The case is called Bush v Gore. Bush was the plantiff; he took it to the Supreme Court, and the Court, unconstitutionally, interfered in a valid electoral process reserved to the states. You read the Constitution.
Everything is a cheap piece of crap compared to Back In The Day. Of course, everything costs about 10% of what it used to, maybe about 5% if you consider inflation.
Hard drives, scanners, printers, keyboards, all crap. Strangely enough, now that I think of it, there seems to be an exception: monitors. Back in the days when you could use a HP scanner to pound a LaserJet under a house (without damaging either one) to support a sagging foundation, monitors were really expensive, and it seemed like I had to replace them often. It's been a long time since I had to replace a monitor for any reason other than "I want to."

Uh, the "resistant to change" part refers to you, still using the same sound card and video card you had when RH4 came out.
Swedish, not Finnish. I had that set, too! :)

Okay, maybe it's not *quite* as tiny as his. But, still.
Hey, all due respect to snopes.com, but why not try it for yourself?
Forget the airplane: noisy, dangerous, inefficient, polluting.
Let's go to nice, whisper-quiet airships, gently wafting from point A to point B. Far quieter and safer, and frankly, just more civilized.
Worth a try, I say!
That's a hardware issue, not a Windows issue.
Well, if you needed proof that this clown works for Microsoft, I guess he just supplied it.
153 mentions in the bible are enough to consider *anything* mythical.

That's what I like in a karma whore, honesty.

So, do you kill strangers in another part of town just in case they might eventually break into your house someday?
