With each passing day, I become increasingly alarmed by the sheer dearth of new tech which purports to increase productivity. With each article I read where companies seek to eak fractional incremental gains out of employees who are already working half again as much as their parents did just to get by, these additional Orwellian intrusions are pushing me to avoid work environments where privacy has lost any meaning. I wonder if managers will use this tool to monitor lunches, toilet breaks as well. It all feels like a return to a time when a company could essentially own an employee. These are the types of situations that lead to revolutions because you cannot quantify morale or spirit. Put a lid on a pot too tightly and it tends to end up poorly.
Seriously? I don't think the texter is the story here, it's the ticking time bomb of rage issues that carried a gun into a public place. There is a high probability he was going to go off eventually, it just happened to be a person texting that untwined his rope. It could have been a driver, someone walking to slowly, or a rude clerk in a store.
My uncle found cancer in his toe. It's my non-scientific silly wild ass guess aka my belief that it was caused by his shoes. Let's ban shoes...:/ yes this is sarcasm...
They are actually using the DNA to create a race of drunken, drug dependent, obedient sluggards for their army of sloth...All hail the merciful...wha...where did my beer bong go? It was here..zzzzz....
American penalizes other nations this way for human rights violations without a second thought. It is hypocritical for we Americans to believe that we should be immune to our own law. It is also an interesting side effect of the separation of state and federal power as not all 50 states have capital punishment laws, but stand to suffer because of the 32 that do.
Seriously? I can't recall a group of atheists slaughtering people en-masse to take back their non-holy places (Crusades), or performing religiously motivated acts of "ethnic cleansing" (Kosovo), or calling a fatwa seeking the death of someone who dares to write what is seen as damaging to a prophet (Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses"). I challenge you no name one truly secularly motivated conflict.
George Washington became a military man some 23 years before the revolutionary war, and was not just some citizen yokel with a gun. This belief that citizens with guns alone, and not paired with and not an organized military effort won us our freedom is an uniformed point of view that does great disservice to the truth of the matter.
2.4 Million U.S Soldiers have served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
As of February 2013, the Washington Post Reports that in regard to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom:
Service Members Killed in action: 6,648 (0.28%) of all soldiers
Fatalities due to Hostile Action: 2579
Fatalities due to IED: 2499
Fatalities (non-combat): 668
Fatalities due to Helicopter accident: 402
Fatalities due to Vehicle Accident: 361
Unknown: 63
Other-Unknown: 45
Airplane Crash: 31
This doesn't include injuries. It also doesn't include suicides, which I am ashamed to say, are quickly catching up to these totals.
Sweet! Mismatch of the millennium...disorganized, poorly trained civilians with small arms versus a well trained army with: tanks, bombs, jet fighters, artillery and drones, tactics and strategy. Makes me think of a western where one of the gunfighters walks into street and draws first and we hear a *POP* which is followed by a cork dangling from a string. The military-industrial complex is a self perpetuating machine, it was too late as soon as we decided to keep a standing army. The MIC and doesn't take kindly to challenges.
Article I, Section VIII
To raise and support Armies, butno Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United
States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
Now how long have we been in Afghanistan? In Iraq? How long were we in Vietnam? I kind of think we have been appropriating money for wayyyy longer than 2 years for these monetary quagmires. Also, from the text above, it also appears to me that Congress can suppress insurrections. Wouldn't taking over the government using guns be considered an insurrection? Just sayin...
I have a feeling NORAD knew about that meteoroid before the Russians saw it become a meteor and finally plunged into the lake and turned into a meteorite. I would also go so far as to say the Russian Military saw it coming in as well. The cold war may be "over", but both nations are nervous about North Korean and Iran and I would gather that they have been and will continue to closely monitor their own airspace for quite some time.
Love your children? Coding Abuse Resistance Education may offer you some help. Many young people who are experimenting with certain types of Code, that go by street names such as Sharp, Thon, Groovy, Alef, Ruby, HaXe or Dot among others can be stopped or rehabilitated to work productive, high paying jobs in such industries as rubber chicken farming, silly putty testing or hardwood log whittling. C.A.R.E helps parents keep kids healthy, keep them free from late night pizza and excessively high caffeine drinks, late night gaming and gives them a chance to meet members of the opposite sex. Come on, they deserve every opportunity!

Yes, it doesn't ever fall through, it just loops infinitely saying the same crap over and over. Secondary and Tertiary recursion is not necessary because the initial cause is the same, though from different sources.

I have two Chinese made non-fluke multimeters from different manufacturers and they are both yellow.

Brings to mind Johnny from the first "Airplane" as he plugs back in the runway approach lights..."juuust kidding!"
To Paraphrase: Just because you can own a gun, doesn't mean you should own a gun. Oppositional thinking creates opposition.
