...of how incredible ideas, while adding enormous value, can also be bogged down and lessened when attached to extremist views or politics.
Uh, the original idea _was_ political, as he says right here. Excerpt: "This operating system was launched to be about politics, starting with its announcement 20 years ago this month"
Most Americans can't even begin to imagine why _anybody_ wouldn't want to be an American, too, even though most Americans have never travelled anywhere outside the US. It's a form of collective brainwashed hubris.
What, you mean the 'free press', the 'watchdog of the government'?
Those are just euphemisms for "PR Arm of the WhiteHousePentagon" or "Slavish bootlicking lapdog yesmen lackey brownnosing sycophant toadies for the State."
Because it undermines the whole notion of voting for a candidate because of the things they promise to do once in power.
Which is basically to send money your way...why do you think Social Security is called the "third rail" of politics? Too many people's votes _have_ been bought.
Seriously! Mortal Kombat played a big part in my early college years. One of my fondest memories was the day when I beat twenty-one people in a row, securing my initials in the #1 position of the rankings. It was in a Del Taco during lunchtime and even middle-aged office workers were crowding around, watching me beat all comers.
Dude, I remember that! It was absolutely freakin' unbelievable! Just kidding, no one but you and God remember, and probably only you care.
I think your attitude towards 'workers' gives Republicans a bad name. Would you have the rights of workers in this country moved back 100 years? We've seen what a lack of any government protection brings. Turn the clock back to the early 20th century and tell me that the laws we have now to prevent the exploitation of the 'worker' haven't helped. I guess your conscience (or lack thereof) allows you to believe that giving an 8-year who works 12 and 13 hour days, 7 days a week, a cardboard box to sleep in and $2 a week is fair compensation for your new pair of nikes.
Straw man logical fallacy. Thus, your point is useless.
He warned us about the military-industrial complex. Sheesh, we Americans sure do love war, don't we? As long as we're kicking some piddly country's butt, we're so happy.
I thought that in the US, it was the citizens that gave the government rights.
Technically, rights are _natural_ and God-given. However, the state can take them away. Hence, the bill of rights which explicity limits the state. And a gun-totin' population that would defend its rights (yeah, sure!). So yes, you are naive, the Old Republic is long dead. There are no real limits to the state. And the people are collectively a sta-puft marshmallow man.

That's worth a lot of Karma around here.

When you consider that Congress is all about pork barrel spending, yeah, it's bad for Congress.
Easy address to remember: 10 Downing Street. Try using Anthony Blair, he's the John Doe of the UK.
The judge determined that Philips' trying to read a non-CD with a CD unit was a violation of the DMCA.
It just works. But how, exactly?

I'm sure, that says, "except whenever."
Great, how bloated can Office get? Now, 1 TB it seems. It's like Congress raising the deficit limit.

You have to _not_ want it. If you want it, they'll just increase the flood to your personal account.

And what are you brave noble knights doing about Mugabe? Right now? Right, absolutely nothing. Pansies.
First thing I thought of: "Pow, zoom!"

I like to go there, because it makes me feel thin again.
They do, only they're telling the identity thief, thinking they're telling the right person.

Don't give them ideas. It _is_ the State we're dealing with here.
