Nah, all of these are subject to the Ministry of Culture and can be shut down at any time. There will be little lasting impact from the larva eaters. The Communists know they are harming the growth of their own culture by doing this, but it is a deliberate decision. Stability is more important than culture. Culture can lead a culture off the cliff, China has seen it before. One can only wish that more "enlightened" countries would put the brakes on some of our more crazy fundamentalists. But no, we have the stupid free speech thing which is only ever invoked to save people who belong in jail anyway.
So what? Shall we continue to get killed because it is easier to produce aircraft with a design from 1950s?
I have noticed more and more these days, people coming up with some absurd premise that sounds reasonable to some. Parachutes on airplanes? Why not? Turns out, a lot of reasons why not. Air France 447 wouldn't have helped any, and neither would Malaysian Airlines MH370. The problem is where the person gets angry with how stodgy and conservative the rest of us are, and wants to change things RIGHT NOW. Because the new way is smarter, and better, and in no way detracts from anything. I see this phenomenon again and again. It's not really the idiocy of the premise, because lots of people have stupid ideas that will never work. It's the hate of the rest of us for not going along that bothers me a great deal.
Usually with hubris, you need to have been successful for quite a long time and you begin to think that your shit doesn't stink. Think of Steve Jobs or Hillary Clinton. But with this kind of hubris, success is not a pre-qualification.
Crime is currently at historic lows in America. I bet everyone didn't know that, what with all the scaremongering. One of the big reasons why is all the criminals are locked up. The more you know!
Well the increasingly bizarre behavior out of Microsoft just keeps on coming. I am certain the cause is perverse incentives for a few high-ranking executives. They are told they need adoption numbers up, up, up and do what it takes to make it happen. Even if you need to make the Windows Update tool into malware. I used to look on the Update notifications as a necessary system freshener - now, I fearfully inspect the updates to make sure they won't screw up my working system. I have a laptop certified to work with Windows 8 and I'll be damned if I'm going to roll the dice with upgrade and see if everything works afterwards.
I get the idea that this is due to Microsoft's culture. They are just so used to having a huge, monopolist's market share. Anything else looks horrid to them. We geeks always wanted to see how Microsoft would work when they actually had to compete instead of just stepping on everyone's air supply. Turns out, they suck at it. A few years ago I made the mistake of buying a Windows Phone (6.5) and boy that's a mistake I'll never make again.
How many people has protectionism killed so far this year? Islamic terrorism has stacks of bodies and the year is barely half through. We The People will decide who we let into our countries, without anyone's help. This is our right, nobody can tell us what to do, the government is how we express our will. The fact that the government doesn't represent the people - well that's why the EU is falling apart, isn't it?
If Islamic countries won't let these people in because they'll cause terrorism, then why the hell are we doing it? As far as I can tell, the reason is "because we hate you and want to drown you in a sea of hostile immigrants." Scary a government thinking that way, isn't it? This aggressive "fuck you" attitude, towards the people it ostensibly represents!
The airframes can't take 8G either. You take a modern fighter jet fresh off the assembly line, put it through several 8G turns, and you've just drastically shortened the service life. High G turns create a huge amount of stress on the metal and if you keep making them, the wings will crack and fall off just like a WWI biplane.
So you can stuff that "pilot can't take it" line, it's partially true but not really why they don't allow fighter planes to go above 4-5G unless it's wartime.
If the transmission is in Park, the car ain't going anywhere. Pulling the emergency brake lever is totally useless. In a manual, sure, otherwise the car will roll away. But not necessary and simply redundant in an automatic transmission, which is pretty much all cars today.
Nowhere has that. How would it be "proper"? It's completely novel.
Moreover the buses would run empty much of the time, and the enviros would bitch and moan about the pollution. Thing is, a bus is great, pollution-wise - as long as it's loaded down with people. If it's carrying 3 people then it's a huge polluter.
No form of public transit I have ever used has had any kind of service after midnight, which is when all the drunks are out. Austin has a great bus system...until about 8pm. 11pm-midnight is pretty much the universal cutoff hour worldwide for public transit. When the bars close at 2am, none of it is going to help and I don't know why anyone is pretending otherwise, other perhaps to make a snotty, generic statement that feels good but is utterly meaningless.
A bunch of fifth graders voting that the supermarket should only be able to sell candy and ice cream? Real great referendum you have there. Voters are morons, Brexit proved it.
The "American Dream" doesn't have anything to do with copyright infringement. It has to do with owning your own home and building a nice life for yourself, free of all but the minimal government interference. I guess he's just bitter and wants to shit on America by saying some words he heard once.
Seriously, I don't know what people like this are thinking. If you're going to commit copyright infringement on this scale then you've got to realize the forces you're up against and evaluate your risk against this kind of thing. And if you do decide on this career, stay in your own country where they can't get you.
What bothers me the most, I think, is the incessant whining. Waah, waah, police got me waah waah. You're going to be a martyr, don't be a baby about it. That's what bothered me about Assaunge, what a crybaby he was. Be defiant, tell them they can jail you but never silence you, and wear your prison sentence like a badge of honor. But no, it's always whine, moan, complain. P.U., what a bunch of stinkers.
The best part of Brexit so far today is watching statist fuckfaces like yourself make shitty, spiteful comments and shake your tiny fists in rage. The people won, the elites lost. That doesn't happen very often and deserves celebrating.
In today's borderless world, countries matter less than ever. Elect Clinton and watch the world's population move freely to wherever it wants. You'll be seeing more Africans soon!
The top end of the ebike market in China is $750. Of course the ones for export are different. The Chinese domestic models look like scooters, but the export ones look like bicycles and are sleek and sharp-looking. The Chinese ebikes look like something you'd ride down to the market to pick up bread. Western bike riders wouldn't accept that kind of crappy-looking product, they want futuristic. An ebike is a status symbol you show off to show how eco-aware you are, and if it costs more, that means you are more dedicated. So there's no market for the Chinese style ebike in the West.
Merkel wants alliance with Putin and is only being stopped by NATO. A German-Russian axis could dominate the continent. German know-how and technology combined with Russian manpower and natural resources are an unstoppable juggernaut. Why do you think the rest of the world was so dead-set against this union when the Germans tried it by force? Now, it can happen peacefully, no more Stalingrads. Give the Germans credit for learning something. Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
Was there any point to this post other than showing off you speak Japanese and attend stockholders' conventions? Cause it doesn't have anything to do with linux on PS3.
WTF, Trump is the most dovish President...ever. The neocons - you know, the ones who started all the wars - dumped him like a hot potato and endorsed Crooked Hillary. Alienating allies...like Obama has done such a good job of? You people really are delusional, aren't you?
So are we just ignoring the fact that Greenpeace has been consistently blocking nuclear plants for decades? We're just going to ignore this inconvenient truth?
"increasing the amount of entropy in our environment and that entropy finding its way into our bodies." Dude, what does that even MEAN? Are you sure you know what "entropy" means, or did you just read that in Wired magazine and you started repeating it?
People die of cancers far more often these days because we already eliminated all the other ways to die. Now, we live longer and don't die at 45 from cholera, so we have to die SOMEhow. Cancer does a good job backstopping the goal. Blaming it on pollution is stupid, America is one of the cleanest countries in the world. But don't let facts get in the way of your emotional reaction. Entropy, LOL.
Have you ever actually met any of these people? A lot of them *are* lazy slobs waiting for government handouts.
Do you really believe that poor people doesn't want better education and jobs?
Again, I question if you've ever actually met any of these people. Higher education is viewed negatively and if followed, will make you "not one of them any more."
It's because of Mickey Mouse. Copyright will never retract to expose Mickey Mouse to the public domain, no matter how destructive it is to the rest of society. Disney is too big and has enough legislators. You can rail on and on about injustice, but it's all about Mickey Mouse. He was created in 1928 and copyright is never going past that year until Disney goes out of business.
So, when are you leaving? I hear France is lovely this time of the year. Canada is always popular. You could try a left-wing government, like Bolivia, Venezuela, or Cuba, that would be excellent for civil liberties. Let us know where you end up! Otherwise grab your gun and start direct action, that's obviously what you need to do right now according to your post. Get to it!

You've obviously never met a shipowner. They are beyond cheap. If they can save $5 by making the crew miserable, they'll do it.
