i vote every presidential election and try to get to the congress/senate elections too. i find it very important and it is a fine reminder that i am still an important citizen of a very important country.
because i have a frame of reference thanks to the internet that there are a lot of people with a lot of different perspectives. so basically i have made a challenge against what i was taught is right and wrong, and it seems like i was taught has a slant on it, and doesn't care about being right or wrong. the post elaborates a bit as to what i was taught about right and wrong and why i think it is so far from what passes as reality.
no the nation has not gone full retard. the military is not looking to get america's ip range blackholed.
this is just yet another story where they took wording from a bill and assuming it is a law. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-1540 has not yet been signed into law, it has just been passed by both houses and has had differences resolved.
what we 'think' is right. thats a far cry from what IS right. as for what is right, i still haven't figured that out yet.
if you think hot and cold water and electricity is what is right then there is a whole lot of wrong in the world, i know it's not that simple, so instead we say it's 'needed in an civilized world' and say that there are nations or regions that deserve certain things and places that don't. i'm reading wizards first rule, terry goodkind. and the storyline brings in a whole lot of good, bad, and ugly from the real world planted into a fantasy realm that doesn't simply make everything seem magic or whatever. the storyline has a slant to it, that the bad guy is immortal and can do whatever he wants and everyone else is 'good' even if they eat human flesh, bring magic into a no magic zone etc. and i'm halfway in the first of a series of 11 books.
my point is simple here some things are right and some are wrong, but as humans we will not always get it right. there is no way to get everything right. there is no human so pure as to be right all the time... and even if you live to the letter of the law you will still find that you made mistakes which is okay. they expect you to make mistakes, especially when you make them often. especially when they are the same mistakes you made before, because after all it is much harder to change yourself than to blame your problems on others. especially when you are aware that right and wrong are easily blurred lines.
i don't know which fantasy world you are living in, but in most sectors of the economy they have to force with legislation to get warranty on anything they sell. the reason drive makers had long warranty was because many people were being talked into service plans with their computer sales. and many would go to the bigbox vendor to claim the drive failures, not knowing what was wrong and not knowing there were warranty on parts, very few people who own pcs know how to use a screwdriver, much less how to deal with hard disc drive failure. but then they started selling usb hdds promising a 5 year warranty and those things drop and break easily so they finally had to deal with warranty replacements and thus they are going to 1 year warranty plans. they would drop them below 60 days in a heartbeat if bean counters were really in charge.
it's more like flying a camera over cleveland's house having stewie shoot it down where it lands in petoria, and then begging for it back. and stewie refusing.
i thought it up for myself. there are websites that do so, and i was figuring it's only a matter of time before cell carriers decide they own the content produced with their 'hardware'
this reminds me i was looking for ebook conversion tools and foolishly downloaded at download.com instead of sourceforge and the av software detected a virus when installing so i removed the tool, not realizing it was download.com's fault.
and what right do you have to electricity? its not in the rights of man or the declaration of independence or the constitution or bill of rights. just because 'let there be light' is in the bible doesn't make 'light' a right. i used to like gaming, i read all day long, and i have learned that the books i read program my mind much the way an optical disk programs a computer, introducing concepts to be accepted or rejected but unlike a computer reading 'bad thoughts' doesn't program my brain and body to do bad things, unlike in a computer where a disc bearing a virus can cause malicious or unintended actions by the computer. at least i think that is how things work.
how do you know for absolutely certain that the earth as you know it is 'the real condition of the real space-time continuum' how do you know that the specific gravity of every atom you know behaves and acts the way you were conditioned to believe. how do you know that the earth is really billions of years old, and not say 72 seconds from existence where the backwards traveling time machine was stuck waiting for the universe to be formed from a big bang and/or a creator (of said time machine) how do you know really? how do you know for sure? because i have seen things without taking meds or eating foods not obtained from where we are told food comes from that i cannot explain. how do you know that the sun still shines? was there ever a sun? is fusion a made up story and realy all rocks glow and fungus and lichen like creatures were the best the robots could do for assembling life? like in the matrix, they ask how do you know that tastes like what you think it tastes like? if computer life is just patterns in a machine then how do you know that you aren't a pattern in a larger machine, that all these 7 billion patterns are just highly multi-threaded patterns in a machine floating in space and causing havoc because they didn't know it was right?
because if you are a pattern in a machine living your life inside a program that is designed to tell you the earth is too big for most rockets to work, because of gravity which might not even exist in reality but you will never know because you believe in your pattern as part of the real you, the way you were designed to believe in patterns. disclaimer: i am now on mind altering drugs to deal with severe mental illness. or at least the pattern shown to me in part tends to believe as such, though i still remember a few things too amazing and weird to forget.
well, i use my computer constantly every day. when i snapped from gaming i was several months with no 'computers' at all. what i learned from this is that indeed a human who grew up gaming can still survive without the technology but it is very very hard, and getting pushed back into computing is very very easy.
"Why would you even need a virus?" Did you miss the movie 'hackers' the movie got it horribly wrong typical Hollywood. but if say you are iran and want to attack america by killing linux servers a virus or a 'rm -rf/' is likely. which is why a virus might exist something worse than a simple removal of files which are backed up. it's not an efficient way to attack an enemy, but simply deleting files isn't as harmful as putting in viruses to replace existing programs and i could go on about this all day, but i think that as long as there are different governments there will be a risk of virus propagation.
Slashdot Mirror
the US government requires 20% of the corn to be 'clean natural not GM'
in TFA they showed that growers were planting the same GM crop strain every season every year for 7 years in a row, due to subsidies for corn ethanol.
crop rotation is the first thing they teach in how to be a sustainable farmer, because these bugs can fly and their eggs need corn roots to survive.
mint linux has a google replacement search tool too, only novices don't notice it's not the normal google search but a custom frontend
firefox was the first appstore i encountered IIRC though they call em add-ons... and they are donation supported.

welcome to the 21st century we now have laminate solar panels that are hail and vibration resistant.

true they rely on plastics, for that flexible production, but technically this tech has existed for quite a while.

i am not worried.

unless its Petoria.
if you'd ever had a sprained ankle you'd know it's not easily extinguishable from a break in the bone. so x-rays and thus a hospital visit.
i thought it up for myself. there are websites that do so, and i was figuring it's only a matter of time before cell carriers decide they own the content produced with their 'hardware'
and i do suffer from mental illness, tyvm.
i switched to linux stopped booting windows... and cleaned off my parents computers... i keep winding up here...
did you read the ToS that came with the phone? those images may well belong to your phone provider.
www.cdrom.com is still there albeit not like back in 1993 when they claim to have started.
and they now seem to be sharing only payware, some with free trial, and almost no mention of foss
this reminds me i was looking for ebook conversion tools and foolishly downloaded at download.com instead of sourceforge and the av software detected a virus when installing so i removed the tool, not realizing it was download.com's fault.

just because 'let there be light' is in the bible doesn't make 'light' a right. i used to like gaming, i read all day long, and i have learned that
the books i read program my mind much the way an optical disk programs a computer, introducing concepts to be accepted or rejected
but unlike a computer reading 'bad thoughts' doesn't program my brain and body to do bad things, unlike in a computer where a disc bearing
a virus can cause malicious or unintended actions by the computer. at least i think that is how things work.
how do you know for absolutely certain that the earth as you know it is 'the real condition of the real space-time continuum'
how do you know that the specific gravity of every atom you know behaves and acts the way you were conditioned to believe.
how do you know that the earth is really billions of years old, and not say 72 seconds from existence where the backwards traveling time machine was stuck waiting for the universe to be formed from a big bang and/or a creator (of said time machine)
how do you know really? how do you know for sure? because i have seen things without taking meds or eating foods not obtained from where we are told food comes from that i cannot explain. how do you know that the sun still shines? was there ever a sun? is fusion a made up story and realy all rocks glow and fungus and lichen like creatures were the best the robots could do for assembling life?
like in the matrix, they ask how do you know that tastes like what you think it tastes like?

simple we bottle the air we need and sell it!

Profit!

i've dropped mine twice to hard surfaces at about 3 feet off the ground. they landed on their backs and the unit is fine.

Did you miss the movie 'hackers'
the movie got it horribly wrong typical Hollywood. but if say you are iran and want to attack america by killing linux servers a virus or a 'rm -rf
