My first reaction was the same as you: get em all to the moon with no suits, we later send in the lawyers.... BUT, on second thought, somebody has to do the excruciatingly fuucking boring job they do. And I dont want to be that guy, even if they make more money than me.
I would say its a problem on not using the right software for the right task. As I understand it, the BBM servers and their email technologies, where built by them or bought and integrated. Had they used a self cooked opensource mash with their own engineering on top of it, perhaps theyd be in a better place right now.
Big outfits should not cook the software they run their services on. They should grab good FOSS, make it better, and implement their added value on top of that. It seems plain obvious to me that the services that dont do what RIM did like facebook, google, yahoo or even microsoft's hotmail and "live" thingies, can compare with others and show their code to the world and share it and be a better service for that...
Im talking about the base infrastructure: why cook your own messaging, if you have many FOSS implementations of messaging protocols? Why transport SAF messages with your own shit when you have three or four great smtp/lmtp implementations out there for which you dont need to pay any kind of licensing?
Genital herpes is a non issue for the most part.... its a bad example, but you are still right though. Sifilis, although curable, if it goes undetected can even cause dementia given enough time. Papiloma Virus can cause cancer and kill you even if you are a man... and a host others.
Its great they if they could cure HIV because its expensive to treat, terribly painful and even its most advanced treatment as it is, guarantees nothing much (treatment itself is toxic and you have to take it for life) plus you remain infectious (although it can be reduced). And thats the biggest problem: its impossible to detect without proactive testing and can remain so for years. And all that time, the sick is infectious.
So yeah, no thoughtless condomless sex for anyone, but yeah, lets cure this thing. Its a danger to everyone.
Obama has had to pay Bush's debts. This debt takes the form of destroying the banks, going to war whithout having money to pay for that and on top of it, outsourcing most of the war effort to private third parties including the former employer of the vicepresident.
I mean, come on.... but hey, what can I expect. The USA voted for bush TWICE. I mean....
Its amazing to me how this short-term arguments can be made and people will still believe them. I would like to invite you to not look at just the debt chart, but to try and see why was that money needed.
You will find that it was necessary to get some loans to pay for wars, broken banks and other failing financial industries like inssurance companies because Mr. Bush deemed necessary to not investigate nor have them report anything: you name it. War contracts, shady trading and stupid ass lending for houses, that all happened in Bush's era and it is WHY YOU CAN SEE THAT SPIKE IN THE DEBT CHART.
Just because Mr. Bush and the republican party (today led by the most stupid people ever in american politics since the prohibitionist party) didnt pay for what they spent in their time, it doesnt mean that the huge debt spike should be attributed to the current administration. It shouldnt.
All I can say is that stupid mexican neoludiites, idiot nordic neocrusaders, neolynchin mob tea partyers, all mixed with standard and poor's idiot non-predictions-murdoch-pwned.markets and wannabe ganja-gov-prozac Punks in london is not a good mix.
We stand at the brink of the revolution of the utterly stupid.
God Help Us.
In this time, as an operating manual, it is good to read "Mother and I would Like to Know", by none other than William S. Burroughs.
Thanks. Im certainly not defending him (or this shit, I think this shouldn't be called riots: its an apish idiots convention). I honestly wanted some light shed on the origin.
Now, I'm sure that what we are seeing today has little to nothing to do with the killing of this guy. Maybe it was the spark, but there was all this dead leaves around, ya know what I mean?
Citation needed please: where does it say he was a violent drug dealer?
Y mean, if Assange is a rapist for fucking a woman that wanted to be fucked then hell, I'm a drug dealer for having a whiff in high school 20 years ago
Why? That is set by the markets and the markets are run by ugly mean people that do whatever they want to make more money. You might not like the interest rates and cry foul at them all you want, but that doesn't keep your government from borrowing money anyway.
Everyone in the know will tell yo: in IT its easyer because nobody can properly audit IT purchases. Purchase decisions in our field tend to be subjective.
As subjective as a brand new Mercedes 510 at the doorstep of the procurement decision maker.
The fact that people have to go to law school to understand what the law says a lot about how things (dont) work with any government, and have never actually worked (civilization invented writing and, instantly, there were the lawyers).
Im from a country fucked by the US in a regular basis and well, I do prefer to be subsidiary to country that at least says its democratic or, even if some of its citizens dont like it, has people that *can* say they WANT to be democratic as opposed to what they have...
At least its press will eventually get around to showing shit at abu garib and gitmo... What if it was China instead? You would never know anything. You would either conform or spend years at reeducation camps if not with a bullet in your head.
Okay, ive grokked through it quickly and I hate this Arizona law as any single mexican (which is a lot). But the info contained in the package is now public and it shouldnt be. It will help criminals get off the hook (if they have brains enough to use a torrent client). This is wrong. This jerks shouldve given this to wikileaks.
That's another problem, one that I will not deny. But I think you really are not thinking this through. There is an international drug policy set by and enforced by the United States of America. This policy is wrong.
Are Mexican politicians the sort of beast that needs a good spanking? Sure they are, although I don't think any country at all can say they have saints as rulers. But that doesnt make the policy right, on the contrary: you are now asking us to fix a problem your policy clearly contributes to create.
Think about it: if the mafia didn't have that fuckload of money coming in from your pockets due to your a consumption of drugs you yourself have deemed illegal and immoral, they couldn't bribe people at the level they have been able to. They would have a harder time buying top grade weaponry, and a long etcetera.
Yes, you cant be blamed for the part of the Mexican character that has made us an impoverished nation, but you sure as hell can be blamed for imposing a stupidly puritan view of the world that, you refuse to acknowledge, actually gets raped at least every month day by about one fifth of americans at least.

You still pay for BBM though...

Well, ill give you this: I am a fucking moron....
So are most tea partiers.
So I guess I'm a tea bagger as well.... now off to gaytube...

Tea partyers are terrorists because they like Rick Perry or Michelle Bachman or Sarah Palin.
Terrorists are typically ignorant
Tea Partyers are typically ignorant
Its a bad tautology, but you can see where the two match.
Ah but if he's in your ignore list, how did you see his post?

Honey, if you can't detect it, you cant detect it.
It has nothing to do with its existance.
No... bombardeo means "to bomb" or "a bombing".
You Big Bomby Boomy Baboon!

Because the USA pays interest on it. What, lending != giving away
They sure as hell should have the capability to strike back. They don't. That is lame.
Thats a good point
It says a lot about how lawyers will never let go of their bone.

Its hypocritical and plain idiotic.
