No, I'm with pnutjam on this one. Relying solely on guns to handle the situation is a complete backslide when we have some pretty marvelous processes in place that make that unnecessary if we simply participate in them. The second amendment stuff is an argument for entering into an endless morass of violence instead of doing the dull, dreary work of keeping a close eye on what our government is doing at all times.
"'All people have a right to their life, liberty, and property.'
All people have a right to monkeys, hookers, and blow. It's true because I typed it."
Not to get all technical on you, but "life" and "liberty" appear in a rather famous sentence in the US Declaration of Independence, and the US has this amendment to the Constitution about unreasonable search and seizure. That's not true because I typed it. That's true because it is in our official documents as a nation.
I don't know. Pretty much everything in life is negotiable. While I would personally rather work a little harder than that I can appreciate that there are people who push back. Is it laziness and greed or is it just bargaining for the best possible position you can get? After all, isn't that what business is all about?
"Back to the video, the REAL point that was being made was that billions of YOUR tax dollars have been flushed down failed companies who have far more talent in kicking back their government investments rather than actually producing energy."
I might believe that Fox cared about that if they had been as vigorously opposed to the multi-billion dollar fiasco that was the Iraq war, which included just as much corruption via-a-vis Hallibuton, et. al.
Yeah, that sentence turned me off a bit. It's a very cool project to be sure, but the "this has never been done before in history"--besides being redundant--is just a little too much.
The minute you start to hook stuff up to that dev board you'll find there's a possibility of getting into electronics proper. Need a sensor? You'll learn about op amps, gain, noise, ADCs, etc. it's not ALL about the dev board.
Apple stops using a supplier that employs underage workers: Apple is guilty of putting kids back on the mean streets and depriving families of much needed income.

"Unfortunately most Slashdotters seem to support this government and want to make it even larger and more involved in everyone's daily lives."
You must be reading a different Slashdot that I am. For instance, you should check out any post that has to do with gun control, s/w piracy or net neutrality.
Also, Swartz's death is a sad story, but I'm a little irritated that so many people are using his suicide to further their own agendas, no matter how just they may be. He left no suicide note. The claims that he killed himself because of his legal woes will always remain conjecture. The guy suffered from depression, after all, and depression is a documented killer. Ten percent of people that suffer from it end up committing suicide.

That was not my point.
What does any of that have to do with my post?

Clearly it would be a big foot coming down from the sky to flatten him.
"So you're saying that the timing is just a coincidence?"
It that's not a joke then I will add that nothing, NOTHING happens in NASA that fast.
And Jello. No burglar wants to get near smoke and fire and Jello.
Are you telling me that the Romans and the Chinese are responsible for big-endian ordering?
I guess at least that's an improvement over MS, where it was always don't install ANYTHING until the 3.x version is out.
I see your rigor only extends to the mythological side of the equation.
..." insight into what is lacking in Atheism."
Actually, the only thing lacking in atheism is a god.
"I find complete harmony in both evolution and creation..."
So, how do you do that? And what does it have to do with studying original Hebrew and Aramaic? And what is this skeptics bible you mention?

That makes it doubly appropriate.

OK, let me spell out exactly what I meant since everyone missed the point.
No matter what Apple does they are going to be criticized here.
Was it really that difficult?
Apple stops using a supplier that employs underage workers: Apple is guilty of putting kids back on the mean streets and depriving families of much needed income.

Take your pick.
That's because the desert had turned to sea and there were plenty of fish to eat.
Obviously you've never been through the desert on a horse with no name.

Charming. I'm sure you'll end up with a very quality woman. Or at least a very desperate one.
Really. Have you ever been to that town?
That is the very essence of a free market and supply/demand. Price gouging is when you charge an earthquake victim $5 for a small bottle of water.
