don't let your parents know what you love because that's what they'll take away from you.
Going from the idea that virtual money ceases to exist once you pull the plug of the computer what about those "real dollars" in your pocket, what happens to them when you pull the plug on the Federal Reserve? This has happened before and Federal Reserve Notes literally weren't worth the paper they are printed on. There simply was nowhere you could redeem them in the Great Depression.
Real money is something that can not be canceled or devalued by a third party and is always redeemable for goods. Precious metals you have in your posession (i.e. not rented out or put into safekeeping by a third party) fall into that category. Anything else can (and will) be tampered with even the legendary dollar on the gold standard many want to go back to (a dollar redeemable for a fixed amount of gold that is kept in a vault). They could easily either stop redeeming dollar bills for gold or they could also start the printing presses whenever they feel like it.
"Oh, they can't catch me.... , " Under the Christmas' day sun.....
Caetano Veloso is my personal savior
Guess what, anybody who even remotely has heard anything of astrotheology knows that the Christmas day sun is the sun on the 25th of December, exactly the day after the winter solstice. After "resting" for three days during the solstice the sun is considered "dead" and then reborn on the 25th when it exits the solstice. This is why astrotheologically the saviors (Jesus, Mithra, Krishna, Horus etc.etc.etc.) are (re)born on Dec 25th.

We've known about them doing that for a long time. The only thing that really bothers me is that
they're not going through the motions of dismantling the whole thing and rebuilding it bigger and
better under some mountain in Colorado. In fact they're dropping all pretenses and that doesn't
bode well.
Why don't we take the brown bear (Ursos arctos) instead? They're a tried and tested design and happen to occupy much of the same ecological niche that primates do.
In comparison to mere dogs,...
Bears are ommnivorous
Bears have full color vision
Bears have same acute smell and hearing like dogs
Bears can run up to 30 MPH (never run from a bear)
Bears have a powersaving hibernation mode
Bears have a voice similar in ability to primates. Btw bears don't
growl like wolves or dogs the way Hollycrap shows them but make all sorts of cool sounds instead
Bears are already built to temporarily rear themselves up on two feet
Relative to the comutations of felines and canines, bears are even more intelligent to start with
Bears are fighting machines (when you leave them no other choice)
Bears have great fur
Bears can draw balls into their abdomen to protect them
Bears have larger dicks
The only thing the bear doesn't have is brains and hands and that's
where we can borrow some from Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
How is business? Staying in the Mars analogy, I have a modest pressure tent now so I'm no longer sitting on the surface and taking a shallow breath every twenty seconds while being hypnotized by the black spots dancing through my vision and that buzzing sound in my ears:-). To tell you the truth, I only work as hard as I need to so your results - depending on your
talent, luck and above all connections - may vary:-)
After running away from my master's estate there have since been days in my life when I've had little more than dole, there were days in my life when I was on dole and the future is still not certain (nor can it ever be). I have however seen there is an entire world outside that plantation I never even had an inkling enough to even daydream about while I was picking cotton. The way I see it, another man or woman in my situation would have maybe "easily" coped with what upsets me and remained a lifetime in the comfort of the known and largely predictable abuse. I dropped the hoe and started walking.
not only if you're a peasant farmer from somewhere smack in the middle of China but also for people who live in "selected Chinese cities" such as Shenzhen etc. The average factory worker earns US$ 60 a month (450 CYN) for work which they would get at the very _least_ 20 times as much in the US (and still be in abject poverty).
Therefore the real cost of this special discount offer is: 20 x 1.50 = just if YOU had to pay $30 dollars for it.
At that cost they wont be selling much of these, but that is probably what they want in the first place so they can once more point at all those heathen pirates.
Until they start selling "Hollywood Premium Content (tm)" at $1.50 at Walmart in the US this is not news.
They show you the commercials and then in order to view the next segment you have to answer a quiz about the commercials that were on. If you fail the quiz you have to watch the commercials over you failed on. Questions could be as easy as "Why is XYZ so yummy!" Answer: Ad slogan to difficult question like "Please mark the commercials that showed a dog".
I just got this idea from a science fiction story I read as a kid where people lived in a society where they had to attentively watch the evening news - or be severely punished for missing them. The "News Police" would ring doorbells at random and give pop quizzes. I'd say a rather scary thought, especially with the implication that you have to be home after 8pm so they can check up on you.
or else it wont do you much good. This is why Illuminated Business Microsun Inc. aka "the industry" patents everything
from the mouseclick to "organizing data on a means of retaining state over long periods of time in organizational subunits of variable or invariable size"). To them a $10,000 is as much as a dime to you. However when they want to cash in on their
patents (or to squeeze you and everybody else out of business), if you don't fold like a good boy they take you to
court over these patents and sue for infringement and of course damage. You know what happens in court, I don't have to
tell you, now do I.
... and do something about quality. If you had read what I posted then you wouldn't have given me the spiel about
me still having warranty.
Who are you with, IBM or Lenovo? Can you get my notebook fixed (completely free of charge, of course), if so I'm
happy to provide you with an mail address to get in touch with me.
As an IBM Thinkpad customer of many years all the way from my first 486 notebook to nowadays being the unhappy owner of a T41 I can tell you this: Any notebook SUCKS the power jack of which comes loose over time!! It used to be that I would have to fiddle with the plug a little until the thinkpad went beep-bap acknowledging it had power, then later on it got worse and I had to put a book beneath the plug so it got proper contact now the jack has come completely lose and has no electrical contact whatsoever anymore. The problem with the power jack is known at IBM/Lenovo and I handle the notebook really carefully meaning I don't hang my Thinkpad by the power supply outside my window for it to dry. However IBM still stick to their crap warranty and wont fix something most obviously their fault. You fucked up IBM, I bought it from you so don't point me to Lenovo, get me a new one instead that doesn't have such a cheap and worthless power jack!
Back in the days I would go out of my way to tell people to get Thinkpads because you couldn't get a more rugged and durable notebook anywhere else. Nowadays the way I see it Thinkpads have become the same crap just like HP or Fujitsu-Siemens kaputbooks and the way I see it IBM didn't come up with the idea to sell the Thinkpad line to Lenovo over night. They had ample time to deliberately lower quality to what you can reasonably expect from chinese Lenovo.
I don't know what notebook I'm going to get next but I doubt it very much that it will be from Lenovo.
You're damm right. You see a psychiatrist actually is a neurologist and a psychologist rolled in one. He's the
guy who can put people on all sorts of weird medication and he can even prescribe LSD or even better stuff.
That means he's a licensed drug dealer on top of being a psychologist.
Don't get me wrong and also don't bore me with the Domino Doctrine which Wikipedia rightly calls a theory but I never got my ass kicked in Vietnam, Korea or anywhere else on the globe. I never authorized any force against anyone nor was I ever asked to authorize it, nor will I ever be likely to authorize it. Aside from the humanitarian aspect, take a look at the latest "Holy War".. so if all the oil wells are under their control, why is it that I still have to pay for gas at the pump? This is not my war and I don't profit even remotely from it, so even if I was a sick enough son of a bitch I'd still have no incentive to back this crap.
If someone blows people up half-way across the globe and says he did this in my name and with my consent then fuck him, he either doesn't know any better (guy in an uniform) or is lying through his teeth (suit with american flag pin label). Oh and spare us all the "War against Terror" angle. There wouldn't be any terror in the first place if the scum over here didn't threaten the mostly islamic clerical scum in charge over there.
We can fight something like this. First of all there might be a way to deplete the point defense system with machine gun fire. Second of all there are probably electronic countermeasures against it's radar which can also be used to deplete point defense projectiles. Third, the system does not protect against antitank mines or other means of physically disabling the tank (such as fast hardening foam etc.). And best of all the active radar component is actually a great way to detect and triangulate the hostiles. What's more, this just means that projectiles either have to have more mass to get past the defensive projectiles or have higher velocity. The race is on and it can't really be won.

Does anyone see the connection between me not being thrilled about how the value work is undercut and therefore a "nazi trash asshole pig", because I just don't get it.
About time you got personal with me, not that I wasn't expecting it though. Let me rephrase your question to how polite and reasonable people would pose it.
Why is it someone should pay me $120/h when they can get a H1-B worker for $10/hr from India who also gets the work done in half the time?
Simple really.
1. It should not be possible in the first place. There should be no such thing as an H1-B program. If you sell to a market you should also have to acquire services and goods from that market. People who employ people from India at a tenth of cost should have to sell in India at a tenth of the price.
2. More often than not that someone from India sold to you as an outstanding and fully certified Oracle specialist will find out about his role when he is already at an altitude of 10,000 ft and heading west at 600 MPH. A thoughtful H1-B recruiting agent will pass the surprised individual reading material such as "Oracle for Dummies" to while away the boredom of flight.
Oh and btw... $120/hr which I'm sure you consider an outrageous hourly rate.. is probably by all means fairly reasonable. It just depends on what kind of consulting is done.
Remember what I told you about your knee?... you need to work on getting that under control. I really hate to be picking on you, dear Ranjid, but prices haven't come exactly down now have they? While we're at it, most ordinary people don't buy IT services. They buy a computer preinstalled with Windows XP. It's companies who buy IT services.
It's the company that bakes the toast for my breakfast cable, the company that manufactured my toaster, the companies that manufactured the thousand parts of my car and the company who welded them into a car, the companies who go out and drill for crude oil and those companies that turn that into gasoline to run my car... none of these companies would ever CONSIDER (nor would they be wise) to pass a single red cent of their savings in IT manpower on to you and me, the consumers.
So Ranjid, do me a favor and stay home because even though with H1-B you might be earning what is a fortune to spend in India over here I have little use for you as you are costing me money. Unlike you, I don't have a third world country to return to where a mere thousand dollars are worth ten to a hundred thousand.
"I'm willing to bet that MS products grew a lot more than 27%. [My brother] says they're building the equivalent of New York City every year."
What makes you think the chinese build on sand?
When push comes to shove, like everybody else I worry about my wallet. This time it's not only about
my wallet but also yours and everybody else's here, so think this through and try to keep your kneejerk
reflex to a minimum:
There are a zillion business opportunities where people could earn a minimum of $80
and more an hour if companies did not have the option of outsourcing to India etc or pulling in
cheap, foreign workforces. The reason they have those H1B-visa's is of course to keep prices for IT
from skyrocketing. I sell IT services, and I suppose you do too. Anything that keeps prices down
is not welcome and if that means Ranjid from some village in India is helping to keep prices down
then he's not welcome either. Nothing personal, Ranjid.

People who employ people from India at a tenth of cost should have to sell in India at a tenth of the price.

It just depends on what kind of consulting is done.

Remember what I told you about your knee? ... you need to work on getting that under control. I really hate to be
picking on you, dear Ranjid, but prices haven't come exactly down now have they? While we're at it, most ordinary
people don't buy IT services. They buy a computer preinstalled with Windows XP. It's companies who buy IT services.
It's the company that bakes the toast for my breakfast cable, the company that manufactured my toaster, the companies
that manufactured the thousand parts of my car and the company who welded them into a car, the companies who go out and
drill for crude oil and those companies that turn that into gasoline to run my car... none of these companies would
ever CONSIDER (nor would they be wise) to pass a single red cent of their savings in IT manpower on to you and me,
the consumers.
So Ranjid, do me a favor and stay home because even though with H1-B you might be earning what is a fortune to spend
in India over here I have little use for you as you are costing me money. Unlike you, I don't have a third world country
to return to where a mere thousand dollars are worth ten to a hundred thousand.
The theory is sound and I'm solid proof of it. Your point is?
But until I hear from you this up front: Why build a country on microsoft sand when you can build it on solid granite which you already own?
"I'm willing to bet that MS products grew a lot more than 27%. [My brother] says they're building the equivalent of New York City every year." What makes you think the chinese build on sand?
When push comes to shove, like everybody else I worry about my wallet. This time it's not only about my wallet but also yours and everybody else's here, so think this through and try to keep your kneejerk reflex to a minimum: There are a zillion business opportunities where people could earn a minimum of $80 and more an hour if companies did not have the option of outsourcing to India etc or pulling in cheap, foreign workforces. The reason they have those H1B-visa's is of course to keep prices for IT from skyrocketing. I sell IT services, and I suppose you do too. Anything that keeps prices down is not welcome and if that means Ranjid from some village in India is helping to keep prices down then he's not welcome either. Nothing personal, Ranjid.
