You know it would be nice to hear an American say something more grown up than a five year old once in a while.
The only good news is that everyone with the strongest reasons to hate each other are over 80 years old now and will soon be dead.
Which rather begs the question why young Americans keep spouting this shit about the Cuban kid in the playground who took something and wont give it back.
Disclaimer I used to work with Colin a decade or two ago but he is apparently well set up to do this kind of work these days and I suspect he will wring out the best that can be done in a transfer. http://www.video99.co.uk/l
Joking aside, there are evil nutjob politicians everywhere, in Europe it is mostly politicians using racism to further their cause, taking advantage of stupid thick people who want someone to hate and blame for their misfortunes.
However the US is the only first world place I know which is a declining civilization with religion actually trying to roll back the enlightenment.
I have noticed that google is becoming less and less useful as a search tool as any enquirey leads to pages upon pages of virtual companies selling things.
Since when did arguing about Wikipedia postings replace discussion about the behavior of an organization that appears to be knocking censorship evasion proxies offline?
The live broadcast has been fairly interesting so far, they actually allowed a scientist pointing at a water spectrum graph to be broadcast. This is almost like being back in the 70's when they treated the audience as if they had done high school and were actually interested.
It may be a fallacy in your mind. But it does beg the question why such a huge number of poor people are in prison camp USA.
Increases in wealth in America have largely gone to the 1% since the 1970's rather than the poor or middle class. Basically the USA has reinvented feudalism.
You mean you run your economy on illegal cheap foreign labour and because criminal money is just as good as real money to you Americans you think its would be a good idea to stop providing welfare to the human beings you threw down the toilet in your own country because you displaced them with foreign slaves..
And you wonder why Putin is able to get worldwide support for his immensely successful propaganda?
The information on the web is steadily disappearing behind shit UI designs. So many information sites of one kind or another have gone all flash, all icons, all pictures, all randomly spread over the page like vomit and repeated at random intervals in random blocks of "stuff you must see".
Fortunately slidy tiles will be out of fashion eventually and we can all laugh at the people who think they are cool as we should be doing now.
Actually it might have something to do with American culture which is actually heavily class ridden and treats those lower down like crap.
So give one of the underlings a uniform and the power and of course they enjoy torturing passengers, because those passengers are from the class that treats them badly in real life.
Facebook has done us all a favor by waking up the dumb consumer to the consequences of the idea that information wants to be free - and therefore its alright to waive all personal rights on the internet.
Does anyone else think that its getting too dangerous to keep some information in a digital form? Is some information destined to forever be kept in a printed form?
You dont count, its only crimes against the State that attract special attention. Nothing like as bad as China but with stuff like this we are equally capable of creating bad law.
Typical posturing crap from politicians. No doubt teenagers will be sent to prison for life for discovering security vulnerabilities. Having said that the morons known as the general population put up with this shit so lets concentrate on saving the children from terrorists and pedos by turning off the internet. When they have safely grown up we can pay them benefits cheques instead of a job or put them in prison for the rest of their lives sewing mail bags. Lets get our priorities right eh.
Civilisation is collapsing all around us and being replaced with a gulag.
There is a saying that one shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
We joined an economic community which has since morphed into an unaccountable political superstate. The political superstate has done nothing useful except start a war in Ukraine which proves that the size of the European Union provides no protection against blindly following American instructions.
Give us free trade and let us write our own law and the EU is just fine.
Winning an election is far more important than good policy. Democracy is at its most flawed at this point in the electoral cycle. Expect bad decisions and bad legislation for the next year.
Cant say I am enthused with either the "Nannying and high taxes of the socialist nightmare" or the "Law and Order, free market gravy train for the few" that will be the choice at the election either. Not a lot to choose from, a plague on both their houses.
UKIP are a nationalist party with no policies except xenophobia and whatever the civil servants tell them to do. They are likely to get a lot of votes, maybe even a very large number of votes because people are frustrated by the political establishment.
People will vote for whoever has the most attractive bribe.
We already have zero hour contracts and more part time workers than fully employed so yes, the EU probably prevents us from replacing them with slave prison labor.
I am one and I agree. We have Chav politics for Chav people.
The place is run by the tabloid press and whatever the latest Witch hunt happens to be. It suits the wealthy for the plebs to be at each others throats demanding jack boots on their own freedom. Bread and circuses.
You couldn't make it up - Foaming mob demanding the death of Pediatricians force Government to disconnect the internet and replace it with Disney, Netflix and Sesame Street.
Having said that, the enlightened Australian equivalent has already installed their own great firewall of China "The web filter will also block access to websites about politically sensitive issues which have changing criminality statuses e.g., euthanasia and abortion".
Just because its posh propaganda doesnt mean it isnt propaganda. The Torygraph so nicknamed because of its history of right wing editorial has always been the subject of derision for its political bias. In that respect it is the same as a tabloid in that it tells its readers what to think.
yeah, bring back the small black patches you attach to your equipment to make it sound better, and oxygen free cables that only work in one direction.
The Dre stuff is about a lifestyle, a lifestyle that does not include musical appreciation it seems from the shit reproduction quality of the headphones. They look quite nice though.
Reminds me of when ghetto blasters changed from portable boxes that could play music to funfair theme ride decorated light boxes, funny as heck.
Keeps the youth entertained though and boy have they got purchasing power these days. Bored suburban youths love aping the product that Dre and similar market to them. Disaffected poor people are just what rich suburban youth want to pretend they are. Its hilariously funny. I am sure Mr Dre works very hard providing his fans with the product they want and richly deserves his 3 billion payout from Apple.
Apple though are dorks and will never pull off keeping this brand surely. It would be like replacing the interface paradigm that has worked for the last thirty years with one that suits third world farmers on low resolution cheap phones. Oh a big tech company already did that.
Maybe your next Apple product will randomly invite the entire population of earth to your house for a party. All television channels from now on will be devoted to watching the resulting carnage. It will be great!

Surely 54 years of punishment ought to be enough?

I wondered why the thing is littered with ten year old bad tempered exhortations to replace everything on the site with something better.
I might start taking the advice of the educational establishment and stop using it
Posters do not have to pander to idiots just to be civil. There is nothing wrong with a bit of boisterous prose.
The associated subject of the impossibility of human interstellar travel is another one that people never admit
Mind you it is a bit dull realizing that the human race is stuck in this solar system forever, never mind just for now.

I do hope they put some of this up on Youtube
None of the content I watch on YouTube is paid for by advertising.
YouTube is just a file sharing site for a lot of users.
There are hundreds of university lectures on line, they haven't been paid for by advertising.

He seems no worse than the US.
