This Libertarian speaks the truth. The courts have so far proved fully adequate at protecting private property and the health of individuals and their livestock when affected by pollution. There is no political derision directed at the concept of externalities, and the harm of externalities can be precisely measured, and the threat of litigation has been an excellent deterrent preventing pollution in the first place, far more effective than legislation and regulation. So there is really no reason why we shouldn't adopt this radical ideology, because it has never failed.
All these government scientists know they can keep getting grant money toeing the standard modelist line.
And besides, even if the Higgs Field does exist, it doesn't prove the theory is correct, so why should we be spending millions of dollars to change textbooks when there is nothing we can do with this knowledge anyway.
Though it's rather funny that you think there is this vast untapped reservoir of conservative rage that will rescue Card once they find out about him. They already know about him, and right-wing shitheads don't have a lot of play in the comics industry.
There are better ways to deal with CEO scarcity than to enact salary caps. They could have made special visas to allow foreign CEOs to work in the country, and the resulting competition would have had the same effect without going all socialist and stuff.
What is harmful to one species is beneficial to those who can exploit its absence. In fact, even if you were to follow your own advice (suspiciously similar to the radical green voluntary human extinction movement), your body would feed billions of microorganisms and add to the nutrient cycle of the lake. Therefore, there is no such thing as "harmful" in nature. I suggest you read up on your libertarian literature, you have clearly suffered from the mental rot of liberal influence.
the fault lies with the person who made the decision to cancel the talk, period the end
Yeah, too bad that's bullshit. By that line of logic, we can't blame fundamentalist groups for pressuring stores into not selling what they don't like with boycotts, or for getting people fined by harassing the FCC. Don't be such a quisling, Mr. Poo.
We blame Valerie Aurora for being a censoring anti-feminist hypocrite. We blame The Ada Initiative for not immediately firing Valerie Aurora and repudiating her actions. And we blame the Security BSides people for being spineless.
Yes, but then again, who do these people think they're going to convince to become programmers? There are already plenty of programmers who aren't competent enough to get past HR, so why are they assuming that by sexing up the career to kids, they're going to end up with a crop of graduates who will be more competent than these existing people who got into of their own initiative but can't get hired?
It's like they're pretending there is this legion of programming savants out there, who would be programmers if only someone showed them computers existed and could be programmed!
Nope, this is not about shortages. This is about driving down salaries.
You are picking a tiny, tiny subset and saying that every college is worth 100k in debt
Actually, no, you blithering moron, I'm pointing out the stupidity of your generalization. Why can't you stick to what is written instead of making shit up?
I am giving a general rule that applies to most colleges.
So now it is "most colleges", not the "modern degree". That's not quite as absurd, but you've still made an assertion that requires evidence. Otherwise you're just another wanna-be demagogue presenting hyperbole as fact.
The modern degree sends a message that you are a herd animal, to the point that you will stay with the herd even to the point of your own financial ruin.
Yes, that is exactly what a degree from MIT or Stanford says. All those dumb herd animals, wasting their money when all they need is Khan Academy and autodidactism.
I'm sure this has everything to do with DHS and nothing at all to do with the fact that every imaginable authority organization has had people who abuse their power since the dawn of time.
Well, that's one way to rationalize your feelings of powerlessness. "I'm not a pussy, I'm a cynic!"
But the NRA certainly spends a few million a year to lobby in Washington
So does Planned Parenthood. Amazing what people trying to take your rights away does to open up the checkbooks.
That you state the issue in those terms shows how effective the NRA has been.
They got inside his brains!
You may interested to know that Harp got an "F" on some NRA scorecard, and yet here she is, on the same "video games kill" bandwagon. They must be in her brains too!
You're a moron. Wayne LaPierre is a moron. Toni Harp is a moron. You're all blithering moral panicky morons.
The easiest way to shut up anyone claiming that H1-Bs are about "shortages" is to argue that they don't go far enough. It shouldn't be required that people have a sponsoring company. Anyone with a degree from a reputable institution and some proof of experience should get a work visa, and then have the same market freedoms as the rest of us, with the salary bargaining power that goes with it.
And if they can't find an adequate job, or aren't doing what they claimed they came here for, just kick them out, easy peasy.
With HTML5 we're closer to the point where a browser can do almost everything that a native app can do.
It will always be closer and always be almost, and it's easier and cheaper to write a native app, especially for something performance intensive like 3d. The only reason HTML took off for applications was because of it solved the distribution problem, not the write once, run anywhere problem. Code signing and app stores have provided a better solution to the distribution problem.
Oh, great, another string theorist waving around his Calabi-Yau shaped penis. Let us know when science is capable of measuring your Planck length prick.
Is the bar being lowered for university students, or am I just expecting too much?
You ask rhetorical questions like this, but you don't tell us the name of the school. Do you think US News and World Report publishes that ranking for shits and giggles?
Guess what, snowflake, you're going to a shit school. Nobody at a real school has to take a course on blogging, unless it is some silly humanities elective.
And since you've been in the real world, working in "IT", your surprise at discovering that there are lots of inarticulate people is completely disingenuous. Hell, I'm wondering if you made it all up, just to later rail against No Child Left Behind or teachers' unions or whatever your pet wharrgarbl boogieman is.

Idiots don't move the plot, the "hubris" of not considering absurd coincidences and bullshit science move the plot.
Crichton hated environmentalists, but he promoted more magic thinking and anti-science rhetoric than all the worst tree huggers combined.
Really? Because the first hit on "green sea salt better" is a Snopes-like article on something called "Mother Nature Network":
http://www.mnn.com/food/healthy-eating/blogs/is-sea-salt-better-for-you-than-table-salt
Looks like those "greenies" are better at calling out bullshit than you are.
No, not really, or we wouldn't have borders and the political theater of immigration.

That tells me nothing, and it is easier to bing the acronym.
Ah, a friend of the elderly! God bless you, son.
I doubt it. Gays generally aren't into musicals.

That's right! And there's no pollution either! We're part of the environment, so what we do to it is natural!
Look at all the people trying to rationalize this as Jobs lying rather than admit he was wrong.
When someone tells you to stop complaining about a product, but to simply not buy the thing you're complaining about, what he really means is:
Shut up! I can't make you buy my crap, but your complaining is getting other people not to buy it also! Now I won't make the money I'm entitled to!
