Targeted assassination is the kindest way to wage war. The only ones killed are the targets and everyone else is spared. Think of that the next time you rage against Obama's murder drones.
Yeah, it turns out there's a lot more oil than we ever thought. Moreover with solar finally getting competitive, it will simply displace the gasoline engine. Peak Oil was just the scaremongering tactic of the day, one that didn't work to scare anyone but the weak-minded and easily persuaded, and that turned out to be false.
Wow, are people still beating the "peak oil" dead horse? There was this little thing called the shale revolution. It turned the USA from an energy importer into an energy exporter. Try updating your out of date scare tactics from 2005.
Think USA vs. the Axis powers in WWII. We burnt down their cities with fleets of thousands of heavy bombers. We don't fight like that any more. Yes, pinprick strikes with drone-fired missiles is quite possibly the kindest way to make war. It's astonishingly ignorant that people don't know that.
Wow. Eight long years in office, and people are *still* making excuses for his failures. Yeah good job cleaning up Iraq and Afghanistan. By which I mean he didn't clean up anything. And starting wars in Syria, Libya, Yemen, how many others?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov signed a protocol amending the 2000 Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement on April 13, 2010. It enables new co-operation between the Department of Energy and Rosatom.
This document is from the United Nations Institute For Disarmament Research.
It explicitly states that Rosatom, after 2013, would be interested in having 20-25% of the US SWU market and wanted assurances that US trade laws would not block the sales.
Whoa, did you just make a veiled call for violence? That is totally against Slashdot TOS. And against every civilized convention we have. Way to go...I mean we all know the Second Amendment is just compensation for something. We've heard it enough times. Anyone who likes guns is substituting for a small penis. Don't put yourself in that basket of deplorables.
So, just curious, does Putin order drone strikes on his own citizens? You might want to clean your own house before you start criticizing others. Jails Russian citizens? America tries to jail Russian citizens with their bullshit international arrest warrants. Why aren't you protesting about that?
CNN has a long history of lying their asses off about Trump. They're not called the Clinton News Network for nothing. Hell, Hillary has more connections to the Russians from the fake dossier than anything else. She paid foreign agents to go to Russia to gather dirt on Trump, and then used that to justify surveillance. Not to mention signing off on Uranium One, a plot to take control of America's energy resources. There's collusion all right - by the Democrats.
What rule of law would that be? The one that incarcerates more people than anyone on the planet? What democracy would that be? The one that produced the worst President ever in history? I don't see Russia using drones to kill their own citizens. I don't see Russia issuing international arrest warrants over trivial issues. I think you need to take a step back, stop waving the flag like a patriotic MORAN, and take a long, hard look at yourselves. America is a horrible country compared to the rest of the world. Russia isn't even close.
Relentlessly portraying Putin as the demonic mastermind behind all that's going wrong in the West is wearing a bit thin for me. I have no connection with Russia, but I find much of the Kremlin's critique of Western (particularly US) foreign policy all too reasonable and plausible. Whether it comes from insincere actors or independent commentators, I couldn't care less; it's the content that counts.
As for Putin himself, he's not the Antichrist. He's just a hard-headed pragmatist trying to keep Russia afloat, using whatever tools he has, which is a pretty unenviable task. The biggest threat to world peace is American imperialism, not Russia.
I think you fundamentally misunderstand my position. I'm asking for performance numbers under realistic usage scenarios, not the browser with nothing installed. Go back and read the original comment.
Media deliberately lying in order to serve a political point of view is indeed a threat to democracy. Our entire system depends on the media to report, not take sides. It is devastating that the media is on the Democrat side and against the side of the people. It's far more of a threat than blaming the dirty foreigners for all our troubles.
Seriously? You browse without extensions? The whole idea of Firefox is an extensible browser that requires extensions to be full-featured. Did we not know this...or...?
Let's see, Google Translate, something to generate QR codes to read pages on your phone, a download manager, something to download internet videos, privacy badger, ad blocker, no-script, art & creativity extensions because the default theme is bland and flavorless, you can keep going from there. Just go browse the depository and start installing. All the useful functions are in there.
I feel it's fundamentally dishonest to brag about browser speed using the barebones edition of a browser that is specifically designed to require extensions for needed functionality.
So, you're saying that the cars will be better, and that will make people buy them? Wow. I thought we had to ram electric cars down people's throats by ruining their livelihoods with punitive taxes on regular cars. You mean there was another way all along? Weird.
Billionaires wanting to destroy critics? Look no further than Media Matters. In a 49-page document marked PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL, the entire anti-Trump plan is laid out. Called "DEMOCRACY MATTERS, Strategic Plan For Action", it lists four leftist partner organizations: Media Matters, American Bridge 21st Century, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and Shareblue. These are some of the most well-funded, well-entrenched, and well known leftist organizations in America. Billionaire George Soros is a key backer. Despicable, you say?
So, all this "it's blazing fast" hype is a barebones Firefox with no extensions. The *whole idea* of Firefox is that you add extensions to it to make it usable. Without them, Firefox is weak and useless. So, once you've installed the necessary 10-15 extensions that make the browser worth using, how's that performance then?
You don't know the arguments, do you? You call yourself educated? The Enlightenment legacy can be seen all around us: individualism, international commerce and trade, moral cosmopolitanism, freedom of the press and a culture of publicity, technological modernity, the valorization of expertise, and on and on. All of these are bogeymen to the Left and they wish to free our society from their oppression.
The concept of "race" was birthed by the Enlightenment. Before that, there wasn't any racism, just Christians and heathens. But the white man came up with the idea there is "objective truth" and used it to oppress peoples of color. The Enlightenment's ontology, rooted in the new science of the 17th century, created a vision of human beings in nature which provided weapons to a new race-based ideology which would have been impossible without the Enlightenment.
The entire idea behind today's Left-wing thought is that there is no objective truth, only differing points of view, all equally valid. For example, there is no valid genetic basis for human intelligence, there are merely different kinds of intelligence. Native Americans do poorly at intelligence tests designed for whites, but excel at tests designed to measure storytelling intelligence.
White supremacy as enabled by the Enlightenment is most commonly conceptualized as a way for lower-class whites to feel socially superior to people from other ethnic backgrounds. More important, though, white supremacy is a tried-and-tested means for upper class whites to grow their wealth and power. This thought is all over the place on the Left and I am astonished that you are not familiar with it.
Hunting and fishing are regarded as cruelty to animals and anyone who would do that is a psychopath. You wouldn't want to talk to such a person and definitely never work alongside one. Let's look at the attitude at Google:
"Do you understand that at this point, I could not in good conscience assign anyone to work with you? I certainly couldn't assign any women to deal with this, a good number of the people you might have to work with may simply punch you in the face, and even if there were a group of like-minded individuals I could put you with, nobody would be able to collaborate with them."
Look at all the other countries laughing their asses off at us. Quote:
This, as a Spaniard it always amuses me how can people vote without an official ID and how try to enforce that is considered racist.
Sorry guys if it sounds rude, but it makes your Election look as the election from some African cheap dictatorship.
In here (Spain) you have to bring a national Country-provided ID, national driver's license or passport. All of them have a picture on them to easily figure out if you're that person or not.
You wanna vote? Proof that you are a citizen with right to vote.
Any other way sounds like bullshit to me.
When you have millions of illegals who know they can go vote without repercussion, who know they are at increased risk of deportation under one candidate over another, and who know their access to government provided services are liable to be limited under one candidate, of course some number will vote.
They broke the law to cross the border. They will not scruple at voting illegally.
If there were only some place you could fit in, somewhere that would accept you! Some place where your looking down your nose at the easily impressed morons would be tolerated and even encouraged! Must suck to be you, with the whole world against you.:'(
Donna Brazile is claiming that after the murder of Seth Rich she was so afraid of assassins that she kept her blinds closed. That seems like a strange reaction to a random mugging gone wrong. Hmmm...So you're one of those weirdo coincidence theorists, huh?ï

Having zero extensions installed is not the common usage scenario. And yet it is what is being tested here!
