As soon as they abolish taxes, or tax everything equally all over the world for use in a global fund, I'll stop concerning myself with what happens in my city/state/federal government.
1.national spirit or aspirations. 2.devotion and loyalty to one's own nation; patriotism.
Nationalism gets a bad rap, IMO. There's nothing wrong at all with being loyal and/or devoted to your own country. Heck, it permeates everything, just about.
Anyway, the point was exactly what I said, there's a double-standard on here where it's perfectly fine for someone from another country to look out for their country, but if someone from the US does it, it's troll-bait/flame-bait.
Aw man, what do I tell my family? Especially my wife? I've been using macs pretty consistently for the last three years...am I slowly turning gay right now as we "speak"? Or is it more of a "you'll first slowly stop allowing your wife to pick out your clothes for you" followed by trimming your eye brows? What's next? A man purse? Oops, sorry, I meant a "European Shoulder bag".
The advantage with FOSS is that Germany can hire German programmers to modify the software used by Munich's government (which is also German).
If they stuck with proprietary products, who would they be paying to improve it?
This is an insightful post. However, I firmly believe if a US poster made this comment (about the US government) their comment would be labeled a troll comment.
Newsflash there, AC. Not all mac users are gay. Sheesh, this is 2010, not 1995! Get over it. (I don't need to explain this is a joke, do I? Oops, I think I just did)
You were lucky to have your fancy background radiation and your "Oh look at us" free protons and electrons. In my day, we had nothingness. And we liked it. Til that "God" character came around, what with his "let there be light" new-fangled junk.
Actually, it's not Mother Nature that is wanting us to leave, it's Father Nature. He's been trying for several millenia to get some "alone time" with Ma Nature.
That's right, humans and animals are all essentially cock-blocking Father Nature from getting some. He's finally pissed off enough to do something about it (earthquakes, global warming, tsunamis, etc), especially since he started taking Viagra.
As you can see, when localman57 said he responded via his iPhone, he was indicating sarcasm, because, as you may not know, the iPhone is made in China. It's a brilliant move by localman57, as you can sense he was being subtle...and then BOOM! right there, he brings the punchline. BOOM! ~sent from my iPhone. Right there. That's the line. Cause up until that point, you would just think he was agreeing with the anonymous coward. An anonymous coward is someone who doesn't want you to know who they are, and they have an issue when it comes to fight or flight. See, the human response to a stressful situation is based on the idea that you'll either run or stand your ground, which is why they call it fight or flight. Brilliant satire by localman57 right there.
I have found, overall, that the majority of resistance to change comes from older people. The younger you are, the easier it is to adapt your thinking because you haven't been conditioned to "how things should be" yet. A perfect example is this onion I wear on my belt.
Now, get off my patch of yellowed, mostly dead vegetation, you damned kids...and take your stoner dog with you.
I don't remember, how much money does a band get per (legally) downloaded audio track?
If they want their art to be bundled and only sold that way, and EMI agreed to it, good for them. But at the same time, (assuming they care, they may not) they could also be limiting themselves on the amount of money they could be making.
As I said, I doubt they care, but it's interesting to me.
Excellent advice! You're the savior of my company! Thank you!
Actually, wait, no. No you're not. You're not even remotely helpful. Everybody completely understands every situation when they're on the internet, though, so I forgive you.

Aw hell, I'm almost gay, aren't I?

Google came to do two things, make money via search-based ads, and chew bubble gum. And they're out of bubble gum.

Now that's just mean. I mean, "Rick Rohring" an entire country like that is just...WRONG.
What you did there, I see it.

Dude, the parents have personal responsibility, not Facebook, not the government. Neither should (in almost every instance) mess with that.
Parents, pay attention to your damned kids.

You had barbed wire? Damned kids. In my day, we had to beg Grandpa for his wooden dentures, which we tied to the tips of our toes for traction.
