Why would you think this would happen? After the 200+ people killed in Mexico because of him and he doesn't even have to answer questions about it, why would he even have to be bothered admitting this happened?
The TSA is now allowing the actual types of things used on 9/11, but still banning shampoo and bottled water?
If there is ONE THING the TSA should ban is small knives (not that I agree with that), since they are now allowing those shouldn't they just admit they shouldn't need to exist?
I've never used a Mac, and I actually use Kubuntu, the KDE version, so I've also never seen the Unity stuff.
I bet I've just happened to use the right set of distros at the right times to avoid any big problems. I did used to use normal Gnome Ubuntu and when they added pulseaudio it sucked. I tried to program with GTK and it sucked big time and switched to QT then and been fine.
I use Windows at work and Linux at home, Ubuntu even. Its always taken more time to get stuff working correctly on Windows, since the 3.1 version and since. New version of windows? That will take months to figure out all the stuff they changed, like where the account that runs the app pools for IIS are set up now. New update of Ubuntu, it probably "just works".
I like the fact that I can plug in an HP printer at home on Linux and not have to install a 200 Meg print driver because for some reason HP decides I need 15 of thier crappy photo sharing/editing programs that I will never use. Same printer, plug into Linux and print, no driver install. Upgrade to Win7 64 bit? Oops, HP never wrote a 64 bit windows driver for that and time to buy a new printer. Upgrade to newest Ubuntu, still works.
Hmm...
I seem to have the opposite experience from everyone else, but then again I've been using Unix versions for decades and used to really like my SGI with IRIX the best (worst licensing ever for a compiler though).
Lets see, I'm usually the one who likes to look up outrageous claims myself, but his didn't seem outrageous.
Phone fraud runs about 41% of people getting subsidized phones shouldn't qualify. Lets look at food stamps. You are correct, he did get that one wrong. Its 15% not the 11% he claimed.
So it appears he is well read and out-spoken. What does that make you?
We don't have universal access to cell phones. Did that change in the last couple of months? Or universal access to grocies. Again that would be news to me.
What we don't have is universal access to Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
You should know by now, every move by the "free market" is evil and destructive to the middle class. Don't go confusing the issue with facts, those aren't welcome in a discussion that may turn political.
This kind of thing shows how worthless gun control is. The REALITY is just about anyone with desire can get the equipment and training to make an AR-15 lower, this just makes it easier. Now the idea behind gun control is to take the guns away from law abiding citizens so those guns can't get into the hands of criminials. However, criminals could always make their own guns and it is just getting easier. Therefore gun control will do nothing to prevent criminials from getting guns, or criminials making illegal guns for other criminials.
Gun control is about disarming citizens and nothing else. It has nothing to do with crime/criminals and never has.
They do. Some of us have known this has been going on for years.
Also a few years ago a few N Korean nuclear scientists were killed in Syria at an enrichment plant that Syria claims didn't exist and the people who bombed it claimed it didn't exist.
The state runs the insurance company that most people in Florida have to use now, called Citizens. It wasn't a "problem" until the state had to start paying out, before when it was just private insurance companies this wasn't as big of an issue.
Hopefully at some point our country peacefully separates into two (or more) new countries so that the sensible and logical people can have single payer health care and the others can yell at each other about pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps.
You can always move to Canada or England if you think they are so much better. It always amazes me that liberals complain that conservatives want to run their life when it is the liberals who are demanding that everyone follows their rules. And when you don't agree with the liberal it goes right to name calling.
Yes, the rate is at 54%, but what they classify as pilot error you may or may not. I'm pretty sure a local crash got put down as pilot error because the engine blew shortly after takeoff and oil covered the windshield and the two guys went down in the water, mostly unharmed. They had slight engine weirdness on run up that they chose to ignore so it was pilot error. I would have gone back, not much flight experience for me, because I don't feel comfortable if anything is slightly off, but those two guys had decades of exepricne each and thought they could handle anything.
So whatever they can put on as pilot error they do, even if they have to strech it. So take those numbers with a grain of salt.
I want to address a specific example of why this is the case, this example is not widespread but everyone who invests in the US now thinks about this...
The US Federal Government SEIZED GM from the bondholders giving them 28 cents on the dollar, not selling the assets, skipping a bankruptcy judge. In addition the same government GAVE billions to the unions in that company while they screwed the bond holders. Bonds are supposed to be your safe investment, least chance to lose 72% of what you put in, especially in a large company. In today's world you have to think twice before committing to a bond purchase for a manufacturing company in the US. If it becomes a political issue you can lose your investment with the stroke of a single person's pen.
There are rules and laws to prevent exactly what happened, those laws were ignored. This is the kind of thing that got the Cuba boycott going back in the 60s, but now we just pretend it didn't happen here. Well, those who are likely to invest in large scale manufacturing still remember what happened. When investing money you don't care about talking points or what Fox News or MSNBC spin is, you care about reality. The reality now is if it is manufacturing and "too big to fail" the government will not hesitate to take it from you illegally.
You will either own a robot, maintain a robot, program a robot, ask "would you like fries with that" or be unemployed.
Industrial robots are becoming much cheaper and easier to use. Within a decade I suspect everyone will know someone on their block with one, either a small CNC router or 3D printer. Pick and place robots to make complicated circuit boards are replacing old school line workers who could solder like they had a master's degree in it.
I often feel stupid when I hear about the dumb things people sell and my initial reaction is "that has got to be so stupid no one would buy it". Yet over and over again I am proven wrong. Pet rocks are nearly the ultimate of this, along with the green painted ones that were Kryptonite. That was until carbon offset cards were first sold and I was trying to figure out what you were buying with them. As bad of an idea as this is, I already know it will work like gangbusters even when I don't participate.
One day I too will come up with something so stupid and easy to make that everyone will rush out to buy. The only problem is I will think its so dumb I won't bother doing it.
The same president that says he has the right to kill US citizens without trial? The same one that won't answer if he can kill US citizens within US borders without trial?
What I find amusing, as accurate as your rant is, is how much money has been printed/borrowed and stolen in the last 4 years. It is mind boggling what has been going on and every time its mentioned the person mentioning it is labeled a racist.
Everyone SHOULD know about the stimilus being a union hand out to fund the DNC elections. However the EPA has a "sue and settle" scam going on and they have recently gotten into trouble for using private emails to conduct EPA business to set these up.
Your rant about the Patriot act is exactly what they want. They could care less about that, but as long as you rant about the Patriot act you are missing the millions and billions they are outright stealing from the US taxpayer.
Close. Its the SOX rules, amongst others, that are killing a lot of public companies. Where I work we had public bonds before SOX became law and after that the quickest we could we got rid of them so we don't have to follow those rules.
Of course after the story of MF Global and Corzine, I'm not sure why they bothered to pass SOX if they won't enforce the law in a textbook example of someone breaking it.
Maybe they did fix the issue, but its difficult to take away the compromised list once someone else has it. Or were you expecting them to track down the virus senders and delete the lists from those servers?

Didn't Johnson and Johnson no tears baby shampoo just get banned for causing cancer? I guess shampoo to the eye either makes you cry or get cancer.

I don't think I've heard a policy reason why anyone should vote Democrat over Republican. Its usually personal attacks like this that are the reason.

You are lying. Budgets in the Senate require a simple majority, or 51 votes.
You need a disclaimer.

Yea, with a username of CncRobot its probably a good guess I would have no idea what a CNC Router could do.
You will either own a robot, maintain a robot, program a robot, ask "would you like fries with that" or be unemployed.
