shows us how little 18-34 year old white males with no children (per Alexa) understand the politics of race in America.
That or the fact that the governmental definitions of race don't mimic the self identification of folks in the real world. Texan here, living in a city of majority Hispanics, and I've never met a one describe themselves as white, nor any delineate between culture and race as any significant boundary.
We should honor the position of Facebook in this arena, our stalwart champions of privacy and advocates of those personal information would exploited by a party in a position of power.
I don't know how else to define acting to maliciously interfering with the underpinnings of a functioning democracy. This is one crime that we could benefit being prosecuted more vigorously. Canada, you first.
I don't think it an incompatibility, it's a munging of definitions. You mention whether something wrong or ok, which has nothing to do with what you first asserted was the incompatibility, which is whether it is theft. There may be differences of opinion on whether copyright infringement is right morally, but whether or not it is theft really oughtn't be debated, it isn't theft.
Sad that this sort of ridiculous stereotyping is upmodded, I'm actually depressed. Do a thought experiment where you make similar extrapolations for gays or muslims based on a few encounters. Fucking hypocrite.
I tend to think of HTML as a pretty good language for this: relatively straightforward, very forgiving, and instant gratification in the way of visual output. Throw in some javascript to start scaling up, or add an in line scripting language like PHP to add some controller action and metaprogramming.
There are a whole spectrum of things up there IMHO. I guess my crackpottery is the paelo diet, can you explain why you think it is on par with young earth creationism or anti-vaccine groups?
Corporations are nothing like collective representations of individuals, they are liability shielding profit vehicles. As it stands, many of us are represented by organizations opposite our values via pensions and large investment collectives, and personally I would rather not have to worry about my money running around and misrepresenting me in my 401k or pension. Do you vet and accept the political speech on your behalf on each of the entities of which you have an investment? If you do, you're in a very small minority. and I'd rather just keep the politics out of the abstraction of investment. I support individuals speaking as a group, but corporations and businesses speaking on behalf of their investors politically seems like a bad idea.
fighting excesses created by fake government economics
Excesses created by private financial institutions you mean, if you're going to include the American recession in your definition. You can't blame government for the financial products (shakey morgage backed securities, derivatives, credit default swaps, etc) that catapulted the morgage market from bad into cataclysmic.
According to my back of the napkin calculation, with 4% inflation we're spending half of what we did per pupil on education than we did in 1961. Doesn't exactly bolster your case. My numbers show we ought to be paying $20923.78 per pupil to match up with previous spending.
Physical analogy should probably have more details, such as the Apple saw not only has the finger guard but also restricts you to apple certified wood with approved cut angles. Also,while the diamond tipped blade cuts most things quite well, it is welded to the machine.
I really can't think of an agency of the US government that brings me more shame on a regular basis. Given the option, I'd have a referendum and disband the whole goddamned monstrosity.
Unfortunately we replaced one set of human rights abuses with another. We did no good there, just killed an awful lot of people.
A newly voting citizen of a democratic iraq might disagree. A disenfranchised kurdish population might actually enjoy having a say in what goes on in their country as opposed to violent repression and being gassed. An oppressed majority of Shias might not prefer the impressively evil regime it endured before. Many errors have been made in the invasion and transition of power to iraq, and it may yet implode in a mess of sectiarian violence, but if it does not undoubtedly good has been done. Iraq may yet come out on the other side a better nation than it was before the US invasion.
Do you have to say that something has no redeeming characteristics to be a poison? I hear some poisons actually have some really great side effects before they kill you.
Did you read his book? Do know why he says religion is a poison?
The brunt of the argument Hitchens makes is this: Religion robs us of our most essential properties, reason and curiosity. He's as the furthest thing from a disgrace.
If the FBI or some other government organization is mucking through citizens phone records the constitution absolutely applies, and the carriers TOS have shit all to do with that, historically anyway. If all it took was a TOS and a third party doing the collection don't you think the government would have been using that loophole long ago?
I agree. My university had two degrees in computer science: Master of Science and MBA (master business agoraphobia?) The problem was that the MBA courses were just bullshit business management courses. If they somehow instead had courses on the practical application of CS in the workplace have taken that track in a heartbeat.
I agree their content is great. It's a shame you can't buy HBO without having already paid for a cable subscription. Hell, I would pay for online only for something slightly more modest than $15...well, maybe a lot more modest, as it doesn't seem like they should be worth more than my entire netflix subscription.

I stopped reading when I saw the word teabaggers. No reason to be juvenile.

I'm shocked you lump the paleo diet in there with those other items, could you expound on why?
I would say that's a separate issue, and I'm in agreement with you that the media has far too much influence in elections.

Ah, my mistake. That figure does give one pause.

Come to think of it, this would probably sell.

What model do you have that has performance issues? My performance has been fantastic on my G2, but my old MyTouch was pretty sluggish.
