And then the bastards sold out to other cities!!!! They actually thought everyone was going to leave NYC and California would be the new heaven.
How can the Giants no longer be in the Empire State? The CITY of Giants??? It is an abomination. Now SF and LA are the biggest jokes in the world. hahahaha. Fuck baseball.
Holy fuck, Spinrite. I haven't thought of that program in YEARS. I used to use it all the time when I worked at a CompUSA in high school. Sadly, the version I had was bound by the ancient 1024 cylinder boundry and I never found a new version.
That damn program was able to fix so many hard drive errors, it was amazing. Sometimes it would take DAYS to get the job done, but its results were always impressive. Made Norton Disk Doctor look like a joke.
Of course, you have to realize the proof you have here is based on a faulty assumption.
There is one thing of which you can be certain in any form of argument: It is absolutely impossible to disprove the existence of anything.
Quantum mechanics alone indicates there is a possibility, however unlikely, that you are going to spontaneously appear in my room right now right after I type this.
You have to learn that what you believe is not the same as what actually is. Someone may very well have gone back and time and you just did not realize it yet.
this is a common logical fallacy. Remember, the key to wisdom is knowing what you do not know. It will serve you well in the future if you remember that simple truth.
I have to say, I have never fully studied educational theory to the extent I would like. Much I have learned is from talking to folks pursuing their doctor of philosophy degree in education, simply because there is nothing else for them to do in this world.
These links have given me some new perspective. So often, criticisms of my owns posts are never thought provoking. Thanks for the links.
That is what we call "poetic license". In any story, such devices are used to further the story. Would you prefer they use magical powers like in the Bible?
Really, such criticisms are always a tribute to an investigative intellect... Yet, I think such would be better spent trying to punch wholes in the ridiculous stories of the world's religions.
There is a big difference between enjoying a story, and finding value in it and actually believing and obviously false story to be true.
So, go grab a bible and start sparring with those damn street corner preachers, especially the negro ones with the megaphones.
I doubt the veracity of this testament to your success... But the issue here is not whether or not people today are intelligent. The point is with all the degrees, all the education, and all the opportunity, people are not living as they should. New York City is a different story, that is why I live there myself. You don't see the millions of fat, TV watching fast food munching pornography addicted fools walking the streets. You are also living in a city that is basically a shell of what it once was. When you marvel at the beautiful parks, the architecture, even the efficient and fast subway, remember all of it was created before these educational ideas took hold.
You will understand once you are in school. I went to NYU myself, and I can tell you that you are in for a big surprise. You are one of the token few who got a scholarship like that if you did at all. Most NYU students are misanthropic rich kids who are more interested in piercing their nipple than any ideal of human existence.
If you live on campus you will be surrounded by people far more wealthy than you, and they will be just as closed minded as you are now. The moment you present a dissenting view you will be tagged as a lunatic, a fascist, a madman. Instead of rational debate to further humanity, it will be insults and lies.
I can also say, without a doubt, that you did not go to a public high school in New York.
Part of the problem of education today is apparent in the incessant dishonesty of the day. Would a person, very much aware of the connection between truth and virtue fabricate such a story such as this purely for fun?
At any rate kid, I will be a Flannery's multiple times a week on 14th street and 7th avenue. See you there. Since you are so poor, I will even buy you a drink.
This is exactly the sort of thinking that John Dewey advocated. He was a socialist, like most of the elite were in his days. This guiding principle of education is about as democratic as any socialist regime.
This is merely a different kind of learning by rote, that is differentiated through equivocation, not by true fact. What Dewey advocates is learning not JUST the facts, by their relative value to others. It is classic relativism, the essence of 20th century humanist thought.
This is the same system of thinking that gave birth to the insane multiculturalism and ebonics of the late 20th century.
I do not believe Dewey was a complete fool in his writings, nor are they as blatant as I describe. The real problem is that Dewey's ideas were taught in the halls of academia for the next fifty tears, and were contorted into perhaps the extremes of what Dewey wanted. Whatever the case, the system we have today is the essence of the very quote you have given. Children are taught that no piece of fact has any intrisic value. This IS nihilism, the nothingness of value. This is what makes a human go from the "renaissance man" to the beast, of which I speak. When we teach children that nothing has intrinsic value, we remove a valuable skill that is not easily learned again. That is what creates the Cattle Culture.
I don't have the time at the moment to get you actual quotes, but I suggest you read all of Democracy and Education as we as How We Think in particular to gain insight into what I am saying.
One can take a short quote of any work, and gain the opposite impression. Its not like any published philosophy actually preaches to turn man into a mindless slave. If it were, we would not be having this debate.
For this spectacular collapse of education, we have the renowned professor John Dewey of Columbia to thank. Yes, the same amazing mind behind the Dewey Decimal system also flagrantly defied centuries of knowledge about the way humans learned and decided that in fact, humans do not learn by experience, but learn by rote.
Men used to learn as apprenctices, learning while doing for years at a time. The educated labored over Socratic dialogues written over two thousand years before, learning that wisdom and knowledge comes only in knowing to ask the right question. Many students used to take great pleasure in practicing Socrates' dark art by befuddling others into realizing their own ignorance.
But then, the powers that be at the great school of Columbia looked at the masses of the great unwashed in the masses of tenaments of the South Bronx and decided that man was in fact a machine, ready to be programmed at any time. One must merely sit, listen, and learn from those more knowledgeable than he.
And that is when the transformation took place. Instead of teaching children to ask the right questions, it was the teacher who asked the questions and the student who answered them. Critical thinking was no longer a necessary aspect of learning. One could merely develop the inhuman ability to memorize on end without any care as to its purpose. And then succeed. Some can do this, no doubt. Most likely, the abundance of Cocaine in numerous remedies for uncooperative children in the 1890's probably led some to believe humans could practice such tasks better than they otherwise could. Those complaining of stimulant use by children today are sadly ignorant of a tradition going back 120 years.
But there is a limit, all the stimulant drugs in the world can't teach a child to think critically.
The human being is different than other creatures in that we solve problems creatively, by using our heads, not our bodies. The dog when attacked, knows it will fight back. It cannnot imagine any other way to do this than by using its teeth. When it is hungry, it cannot imagine any other way to get food unless that food is right in front of it.
Humans possess the spark of imagination that is wonderous in its abilities to do and create like never before. It is unfortunate when I see anyone creating the false dichotomy of beauty, art, and science, for they are all the same. We must teach children from the beginning to solve problems, to create what has never existed before, and help them along the way. Algreba should not be a subject in and of itself, it is the most basic form of deductive logic that should be a part of a simple logic class. Math in general should not be a stand alone subject, but taught as a tool in the course of study.
We have followed John Dewey's advice for nearly one hundred years, that a child's brain should be poured full of knowledge. It is false, and destructive. We now have a nation of zombies, unable to question anything or solve any problems. They are hardly human, other than form. is it any wonder they merely stuff their faces with food and vicariously live out there sexual fantasies on television? They know nothing of humanity, they feel only the urges of animals. Eat and fuck, eat and fuck. Is this all life is? Of course, they cannot even ask THAT question...
S-Type Corporations are a specific type of corporation which have many tax benefits as you say in point four. However, the first three benefits could apply to any business type.
S-type corporations are not always the best choice over partnerships. Unless you will be in a business like blasting or demolition, the need to be personally exempt from legal liability for the company's failings is not always necessary. You will get the same tax benefits with a partnership because there is no PARTNERSHIP income tax, only CORPORATE income tax.
Not only are S-type corporations time limited by statute to 27 years, ownership cannot always be transferred. This means public ownership is not possible, and it means if you want to sell the company you can't.
Personally, I think S-type corporations are bullshit. They were created only to appease the little guy who was sick of getting double taxed by corporate income tax AND personal income tax. If this was a free country, they wouldn't even exist.
Is it possible that the software was GPL'd by the author, working as a private agent, and then transfers his title to the work to the government? This would seem reasonable.
I think you were educated in the 70's by a bunch of anti-american communist sympathizers.
The US has certainly made mistakes, but to suggest that the US is supremely inhumane is to be blind to the immense good that has come to this world because of the US armed forces.
Also, as far as the blankets, I have no doubt that happened, but do you think that was really something advocated by the president and congress at the time?? Sheesh, think for a second!
The US is not ignoring the anti-ballistic missle treaty by building anti-ballistic missle technology. The US government informed Russia before doing so that we were no longer going to abide by the treaty. Ignoring the treaty implies that deceit operates as the rule, but we gave Russia fair warning.
Treaty's are not forever binding, any country can pull out if it so chooses. The proper thing to do is always follow the exit clause of a treaty, which is usually to give some sort of fair notice of your intention to disavow the treaty. The US did that.
Better yet, the US should have followed George Washington's suggestion in his fairwell speech: DO NOT SIGN TREATIES WITH FOREIGN, ESPECIALLY EUROPEAN, NATIONS EVER!!!!
Personally, I try to avoid mind altering substances except maybe once a month. I could understand some folks enjoying a few stimulants here and there. Caffeine, cocaine, and amphetamine are all great additions to a productive day of slaving over some code. God created such substances for one reason and one reason alone, to make boring and tedious work more interesting.
But, why in gods name would anyone drink alcohol and try to do anything productive is beyond me. I am sure there will be quite a few folks proclaiming the virtues of drinking while coding, but fuck... You know this party is going to be a bunch of geeks getting hammered, slurring away about how great linux is and a few laptops will probably get toasted by the errant pint of Guiness.
They should have had some fine brit DJ come over to make the party really crazy. Hell, it could have been the site of the next tranceport release.
I just fuck bitches, I don't date them. The simple reality is the pysche of women is incredibly easy to predict and manipulate to your advantage. Women are motivated by two things, emotional hunger and the desire for material wealth. If you provide both, for just a brief period of time, sex is your reward. Women do not have any creative drive, passion for life, or happiness in the infinite possibilities of existence. They do not want to write software, desire buildings, paint pictures, or write beautiful music. They desire only for a man to provide for their insatiable materistic desire, and for said man to stick his cock in her long enough that her fear of existence is momentarily extinguished.
By emotional hunger, I mean women are unable to feel emotion on their own accord, they are parasitic in this fashion. This is why women enjoy causing chaos around them, it is a way to feed off the intense emotions of those around them. If you are a man of strong character and theatrical guile, you can impose strong emotions upon the female, especially those of archetypel origin. Of course, since most of these qualities are barbaric in nature, it can be somewhat repulsive to civilized men. Further, a strong body is necessary.
Note, as simple evidence of this fact, the reason women do nothing but shop and watch TV is to satisfy these desires. Shopping satisfies the desire for material gain. Telvision provides the vicarious living necessary women to feel something other than the anguish of solitude. Take her shopping, buy her shit, and provide some real life drama as an escape from the tedium of TV, and her pussy is yours.
Remember, only when your dick is inside of a female is her anxiety of life truly relieved. Of course, narcotics and benzodiazpine drugs can provide the same neurochemical effect as sexual arousal. So, be careful of women who are medicated with such drugs. Otherwise, feed on her anxiety, and bang the shit out of her.
this post is for all men who have waste their life in service of bitches. fuck bitches.
While I think there is merit to the suggestion that the New York Times has a vested interest in criticizing search engines and internet archives in general, that conclusion cannot be drawn from the article at hand. The article makes a very valid point, that many people unwittingly put a lot of personal information on the net and it ends up being forever available on the internet.
For those who read this site, I am sure no one is going to leave anything important in a directory accessible via http, but it can easily happen. How many ridiculous personal websites are there out there, how many inexperienced folks with frontpage put something stupid on geocities before they figure out what is going on? It can happen so very easily.
Note, I don't think there is a way around this problem. The article almost seems to suggest Google should allow people the opportunity to remove listings from the index. I don't know if that is feasible, but it is a thought. In the end, I think this is something people are going to have to be more aware of... only the ignorant or careless are going to get burned by this.
On a personal level, I have searched for my name in the past, and found some interesting personal files and info... I won't be too specific, but this info was temporarily placed on other machines to access via http as that was the only way I could download anything to certain school machines. The shit was only on those servers for a few days, and it is still in the google cache. Nothing to important, but it has been there for YEARS now.
Men are greedy? Where are you from? Its common knowledge women are the root of all greed. Men rarely are extravogent with their spending unless they are trying to impress women.
Greed and and materialism is a maternal trait, thus the word materialism instead of paterialism.
FYI, mater means mother. It has been known for millenia that women are materialistic sheesh. Read The Odyssey. Its a whole damn book about men trying to escape evil women! Of course, a trip to any suburban shopping mall will also suffice.
As far as the other shit, men are dishonest? I know of no evidence on that matter, but it is also something traditionally ascribed to women. Women tend to misrepresent the truth in legal issues, such as the mass accusation of men of sexual misconduct, frequently completely unsubstantiated. The simple fact that 75% of divorces are initiated by women, and 90% of child custody matters are resolved in favor of women tends to discount the veracity of women today.
As far as sexual harassment, no other issue symbolizes the dishonesty of women today. Anyone who has worked in an office knows it is women who most discuss sex, who dress provactively, and who tend to use sex to their advantage. Most men are stuck trying to ignore the sexually charged gossip or trying to lie about their sexual orientation or marital status (of course, women love to screw married guys so that doesnt always work). You can't to forward telling a brazen hussy to fuck off otherwise she will accuse YOU of sexual harassment.
Personally, I think the only solution is men and women should be allowed to work, but only with each respective gender. There should be male corporations and female corporations. Not only will this prevent any bullshit, we will get to see which gender truly can function independently. I put my money on the male corporations. Especially when all the founders of the female corporations turn 35 and start craving a baby.
You are not correctly understand the word "right". You have a right to exist, and to say and think what you wish. It is an assault against the concept of rights as such to claim that your rights can infringe upon anothers (the cable companies right to do with its equipment as it wishes).
The first amendment was written to protect citizens against sedition laws, such as those imposed upon dissenters of England prior to the signing of the declaration of indepedence.
A company cannot infringe upon your first amendment rights, because it is not the United States Government, to which the constitution applies.
This ridiculous use of terminology is going to be the death of you all. Soon, I am going to sue Slashdot for infringing upon my free speech by moderating this post down and preventing the community at large from reading it.
Of course, that would be ridiculous, but no more so than saying you free speech is being infringed upon simply because you cannot upload porn to folks on kazaa at 1mbps.
The internet is not a right, it is benefit of this free society. The internet could be destroyed tomorrow, and your ability to express yourself will be no different in terms of the end result, ie sharing information with others.
The only absolute way to prevent you from communicating with others is to imprison you, or kill you... The society you advocate will have to use both far more than today in order to impose their will upon the people. The companies you want to nationalize are owned and run by your fellow citizens, who have families to feed, and dreams to live just like yourself. They are not going to lose their jobs willingly. The only way to get them to give their service away free to you is to threaten with imprisonment or death. Be careful what you wish for.
I dunno if I would have marked this post a troll... but its definitely spam. For anyone who is considering linking to that site, it sucks and its overpriced.
Edmunds Scientific has better "spy gear" than that.
How is this moderated a three. The question is clearly about a CO-OP as in co-operation.
obviously not someone from New York City where coop apartments got around many of the nasty housing regulations like rent control. Each tenant is not really a tenant, they purchase, for a large sum like a condo, a share in the company which owns the building. As shareholders, they can do whatever the hell they want. Kick out other members, turn away certain members, whatever.
that is what is being proposed here. You and your neighbors go your bank and open a commercial checking account. Have the board of directors (you and your neighbors) pass a resolution naming company officers and have one of them order a commercial high speed line, and sign for it. The company will be in the contract, and won't be reselling it, it will only go to owners of the company.
Yes, while I whole heartedly believe in the right to a trial by jury for any criminal offense, I don't believe the average American citizen can intelligently deliver justice in a civil matter. A judge should be able to quash any action that seems frivolous. Before people tell me judges can do that in the states, the rule is a case can be dismissed only when it involves no genuine issue of fact. Many supreme court cases in all the big states (IL, CA, NY) have consistently made the jury the trier of fact in even the most mundane situations.
Of course, many judges are uncivilized in this country... but what else is new. For some reason, I imagine judges in Canada are much more respectable. hahahaha....
Slashdot Mirror
And then the bastards sold out to other cities!!!! They actually thought everyone was going to leave NYC and California would be the new heaven.
How can the Giants no longer be in the Empire State? The CITY of Giants??? It is an abomination.

I hope I don't get moderated down for simply stating that the problem here is not google.
The problem here is you are dating a stupid fucking bitch.
A simple word of advice. Don't date dumb bitches. Pay for a dumb whore, but don't date one.
I just fuck bitches, I don't date them. The simple reality is the pysche of women is incredibly easy to predict and manipulate to your advantage. Women are motivated by two things, emotional hunger and the desire for material wealth. If you provide both, for just a brief period of time, sex is your reward. Women do not have any creative drive, passion for life, or happiness in the infinite possibilities of existence. They do not want to write software, desire buildings, paint pictures, or write beautiful music. They desire only for a man to provide for their insatiable materistic desire, and for said man to stick his cock in her long enough that her fear of existence is momentarily extinguished.

this post is for all men who have waste their life in service of bitches. fuck bitches.
Peace.
While I think there is merit to the suggestion that the New York Times has a vested interest in criticizing search engines and internet archives in general, that conclusion cannot be drawn from the article at hand. The article makes a very valid point, that many people unwittingly put a lot of personal information on the net and it ends up being forever available on the internet.
For those who read this site, I am sure no one is going to leave anything important in a directory accessible via http, but it can easily happen. How many ridiculous personal websites are there out there, how many inexperienced folks with frontpage put something stupid on geocities before they figure out what is going on? It can happen so very easily.
Note, I don't think there is a way around this problem. The article almost seems to suggest Google should allow people the opportunity to remove listings from the index. I don't know if that is feasible, but it is a thought. In the end, I think this is something people are going to have to be more aware of... only the ignorant or careless are going to get burned by this.
On a personal level, I have searched for my name in the past, and found some interesting personal files and info... I won't be too specific, but this info was temporarily placed on other machines to access via http as that was the only way I could download anything to certain school machines. The shit was only on those servers for a few days, and it is still in the google cache. Nothing to important, but it has been there for YEARS now.
Men are greedy? Where are you from? Its common knowledge women are the root of all greed. Men rarely are extravogent with their spending unless they are trying to impress women.
Greed and and materialism is a maternal trait, thus the word materialism instead of paterialism.
FYI, mater means mother. It has been known for millenia that women are materialistic sheesh. Read The Odyssey. Its a whole damn book about men trying to escape evil women! Of course, a trip to any suburban shopping mall will also suffice.
As far as the other shit, men are dishonest? I know of no evidence on that matter, but it is also something traditionally ascribed to women. Women tend to misrepresent the truth in legal issues, such as the mass accusation of men of sexual misconduct, frequently completely unsubstantiated. The simple fact that 75% of divorces are initiated by women, and 90% of child custody matters are resolved in favor of women tends to discount the veracity of women today.
As far as sexual harassment, no other issue symbolizes the dishonesty of women today. Anyone who has worked in an office knows it is women who most discuss sex, who dress provactively, and who tend to use sex to their advantage. Most men are stuck trying to ignore the sexually charged gossip or trying to lie about their sexual orientation or marital status (of course, women love to screw married guys so that doesnt always work). You can't to forward telling a brazen hussy to fuck off otherwise she will accuse YOU of sexual harassment.
Personally, I think the only solution is men and women should be allowed to work, but only with each respective gender. There should be male corporations and female corporations. Not only will this prevent any bullshit, we will get to see which gender truly can function independently. I put my money on the male corporations. Especially when all the founders of the female corporations turn 35 and start craving a baby.
You are not correctly understand the word "right". You have a right to exist, and to say and think what you wish. It is an assault against the concept of rights as such to claim that your rights can infringe upon anothers (the cable companies right to do with its equipment as it wishes).
The first amendment was written to protect citizens against sedition laws, such as those imposed upon dissenters of England prior to the signing of the declaration of indepedence.
A company cannot infringe upon your first amendment rights, because it is not the United States Government, to which the constitution applies.
This ridiculous use of terminology is going to be the death of you all. Soon, I am going to sue Slashdot for infringing upon my free speech by moderating this post down and preventing the community at large from reading it.
Of course, that would be ridiculous, but no more so than saying you free speech is being infringed upon simply because you cannot upload porn to folks on kazaa at 1mbps.
The internet is not a right, it is benefit of this free society. The internet could be destroyed tomorrow, and your ability to express yourself will be no different in terms of the end result, ie sharing information with others.
The only absolute way to prevent you from communicating with others is to imprison you, or kill you... The society you advocate will have to use both far more than today in order to impose their will upon the people. The companies you want to nationalize are owned and run by your fellow citizens, who have families to feed, and dreams to live just like yourself. They are not going to lose their jobs willingly. The only way to get them to give their service away free to you is to threaten with imprisonment or death. Be careful what you wish for.
I dunno if I would have marked this post a troll... but its definitely spam. For anyone who is considering linking to that site, it sucks and its overpriced.
Edmunds Scientific has better "spy gear" than that.
Don't waste your time.
How is this moderated a three. The question is clearly about a CO-OP as in co-operation.
obviously not someone from New York City where coop apartments got around many of the nasty housing regulations like rent control. Each tenant is not really a tenant, they purchase, for a large sum like a condo, a share in the company which owns the building. As shareholders, they can do whatever the hell they want. Kick out other members, turn away certain members, whatever.
that is what is being proposed here. You and your neighbors go your bank and open a commercial checking account. Have the board of directors (you and your neighbors) pass a resolution naming company officers and have one of them order a commercial high speed line, and sign for it. The company will be in the contract, and won't be reselling it, it will only go to owners of the company.
Yes, while I whole heartedly believe in the right to a trial by jury for any criminal offense, I don't believe the average American citizen can intelligently deliver justice in a civil matter. A judge should be able to quash any action that seems frivolous. Before people tell me judges can do that in the states, the rule is a case can be dismissed only when it involves no genuine issue of fact. Many supreme court cases in all the big states (IL, CA, NY) have consistently made the jury the trier of fact in even the most mundane situations.
Of course, many judges are uncivilized in this country... but what else is new. For some reason, I imagine judges in Canada are much more respectable. hahahaha....
I am sure it will be in some type of protected cartridge, such as with a jaz disk, or syquest disk.
