scheme. The government will front the money, and we'll have privatization of risk, but when the money starts to get made, we'll hear about how we need to keep government out. Kind of like today, where companies rail against government interference on the Internet and the utilities, which wouldn't exist without government action.
Seriously, without government action, the south would have no electric power, the Internet would not be here, and people in the boondocks would never have mail service, because the Free Market wouldnt support it.
On that note, remember, Free Market economics is like Marxist economics, a few designed system with strengths and weaknesses, not some divine proscription.
thanks to strict constitutionalism, the constitution doesn't apply to corporations, which is all good for conservatives until Wal-Mart tells its employees to say "Happy Holidays".
Someone has found a technological solution to bad manners. Seriously, now I might actually get to watch a movie or attend class without listening to some idiot described the movie to someone else or explain to their 8 year old home alone how to light a fireplace(Happen in an art history class)
For real people, despite how many of us feel, very few us are so important that we cannot do without a cell phone for a few hours.
However, I don't understand why he hasnt gotten a new email address, or why Verizon hasnt fixed this problem, because messages should be returned or deleted, not forwarded to some random person.
authors, the events described in the book are factual. Since facts cannot be copywritten, (last time I checked), that should mean they are out of luck. Given the amount of historical fiction on the market, I seriously hope this gets shot down. Unless Dan Brown plagarized or something.
no good deed goes unpunished. Now remember kiddies, this is why you should never whistle blow. Your life will be destroyed, while the guilty will get a slap on the wrist and 50,000 on the lecturing circuit
Proportionally, I receive harsher fines for speeding and being a day late having my emissions tested.
Stiffer penalties are needed. Seriously, given the amount of money Microsoft has right now, 33.5 million is not a serious deterrence to bad behavior. While I have not completely thought out the math, that's the equivalent of fining me a couple of dollars for wrong doing.
Just FOIA for it through NARA. Then the archivists there will process it rather than the original agency, and NARA people are generally cool about declassifying previously declassified stuff. Problem is, they may reclassify again, so you'll have to repeat the cycle if you lose your stuff.
as to call it the history of the world, but in all fairness to NARA, it has a great deal of captured documentation from the Second World War and some other sources. So, it's more than a mere history of America.
NARA is actually letting someone digitize important stuff. Now if they'd only digitize something useful like their CREST database, then I could avoid driving down there twice a week for thesis work.
CREST is a searchable database of CIA documents released under some executive order by Clinton. It's pretty cool. More importantly, it's free.
, but I can't wait until they sue a "button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho" whos snaps and travels to the RIAA's headquarters and stalks "from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into" these motherfuckers.
Because, if it happens often enough, a deterrent effect will be created.
Now before you lecture me on my "fight Club fantasies", how effective has peaceful methods like lawsuits, writing letters to politicians, who elections the RIAA helps finance, and boycotting been?
hydrocarbon fuels are getting too expensive, even for them. Additionally, why would a country filled with Uranium, dependent on oil exports, use oil for power production? They wouldn't, because it's dumb.
Yeah, they probably want nukes too, but given we contained Mao and Stalin, who had a lot more of them and hated us as much for our "bourgeois capitalism", as the Iranians do for being the "Great Satan", it's not a big deal.
But the answer to all this corporate corruption, idiocy, and malfeasance isn't to run the pawns of our corporate feudal lords, but violence.
Seriously, the business elite has simply lost the fear of God, and someone needs to instill it back in them. If the token jail sentences, loony leftist activism, and fear of reputation lost has failed to keep them in check, than stronger measures are needed.
I am not talking about randomly going postal, ala many a mail carrier, but a campaign of precise, systematic, lethal punishment of the most blatant offenders. Outsource American jobs to India to boost your stock a 1/4 point, well then lookout. Does anyone think Ken Lay would have tanked Enron had he a reasonable fear of death? Of course, nor will any other CE jack around like that, if swift severe punishment was certain.
For those opposed to violence, can you think of a better solution?
Most MD police are yocals and bullies, who will try to bully or dick you around if you let. I've found that handing them my ACLU card deters them. Even better was I knew some of these commanders, and there was nothing funnier than watching an officer explain to division/area commander, why he trying to get the county sued.
Ohh, you mean legalization and decriminalization of these behaviors, so that this does not become an issue again. Anything less than a total ban, backed up by some serious time in a federal pound you in the ass facility, means that someone has been bought out.
For all the talk of influencing China for the better, posting notices when results are censored, and following local law,
Google is simply interested in making money. Anything else is spin. Most slashdotters would rail against MS or SCO for such a stunt, so the reaction should be the same here. Not bullshit rationalization.
notice how they're not rushing into Burma or North Korea offering similar terms, why? because there's no profit to be made.

the poverty and the stress are related, because being poor is a lot more stressful than being rich. Real stress, like survival type stress.
1,000,000 relatively high quality articles. They would be indepth articles that have no spelling, grammar, or factual errors.,
So what do you expect regarding blogs?

Seriously, the worse screwups are those caused by outsmarting one's self.
when they can make more money from it, than they currently make from Ebay's ads.

We'll get pets.com, shovelyourdrivemaam, and other nonsense companies all over again, as this time, they're selling on Web 2.0

I should have been clear. I was referring to massive outbreak type virus.
Let's wait for some real cell phone viruses before we all freak out.

Yeah, exactly.
Apologies for the bad paraphrase, but it's late.
So ageist. I was thinking more of the lines of Red Army Faction, than Fight Club.
