Do what I do.. move the mouse and say "oh this damn thing locked up again!" and then hit reset!;) Works every time. AND it got me a new work computer because they were convinced mine was too "old" and locked up too much because of it.
If I wrote an A paper and then some one copied it and also go an A, what difference does it make to me? Although there are many valid arguements to copying music, this isn't one of them.
I would have written that paper any way!
It isn't costing me money that some one has copied it.
I'm 19 and trust me, most teenagers are idiots who cannot make informed decisions. With that said, I don't care about the decisions of others as long as they don't affect me. Have sex, shoot heroin, pierce your body parts. Go for it. Just deal with the consiquences. Oh you're pregnant? Oh you've been kicked out of your house? Oh your new piercing is infected? Boohoo. This is what we call, the school of hard knocks.
17 year olds might not know any better but ya know.. this is why they say "You live and you learn". right?
Well the article didn't say that you cannot reboot, it just says that you wont have to reboot every time you start up. There will be a point where you will HAVE to boot up right? I mean there is always the first install.
This is great though. Computers need to be instant on like TV. Think about it; you are at the office and it's 5pm, you've shut every thing off and your boss comes in and says "oh before you go, don't forget to write an e-mail to bob in the morning about x,y,z." Now what do you do? Get a piece of paper and write it down and stick it in your monitor right? Well if the computer was instant on, you'd just turn it on and write a note on your computer, then shut it back off.
Although I agree that America shouldn't be the world's big brother.. and shouldn't try to set the rules for others..
I must say that you have NO IDEA what America is like.
Not every one goes to work from 8-6 for "some dumb company" and then goes and spends their money at the mall and McDonalds! I just love the broad strokes you paint with.
Riiight. we are all stupid.
Fat.
Eat McDonalds every day and live in malls.:p
Less fortunate?
fortunate
adj.
Bringing something good and unforeseen; auspicious.
So let me get this straight.. I work hard, and I learn skills that earn me money. This is fortunate? This is unforeseen??? How is a poor person who dropped out of school to have 2 kids "less fortunate"?
It wasn't good fortune that has me where I am today. And no i'm not wealthy. I make little money... I am 19 and am still working to better my self.
Can you tell me how Reagan was evil? That i'd like to know.
What isn't fair and free in the USA as far as pay is concerned? What is stopping YOU from learning programming and going to work making software making major dollars? What is stopping ANY ONE from writing the next great OS or computer program? Nothing!!!! Nothing is stopping you but YOU.
If tomorrow I invented something that every one had to have I could sell it and make millions. Nothing is stopping me.
Now look at china!
You see here is what worries me.
Every time some one doesn't have something that some others do, some one comes along and says "that's not fair! We need a gov't program". Every one in the US has an equil shot.
We must look at the the trends and realize where they are taking us. Right now the top 10% of income erners pay over 90% of all taxes. It's very easy to make new gov't programs... but once they are in place they are impossible to get rid of. For every new program that comes along, some one has to pay for it. Who pays? Not the poor. They benefit. Not the midddle class. The rich pay. (ok and some times the middle class). The gov't is constantly redefining what "rich" is. They are trying to get the top 10% of income erners to pay 100% of the load... this 80% of the people benefit and that means that 80% of the people will vote for the party that will plunder further the top 10%. This is a forrunner to socialism and communism.
Look at history. Hitler came to power when Germany was in a deep depression. He plundered from the rich and gave to the poor. He was a socialist. Look at Stalin and Lennon and Mao. All communists and socialists.
Socialism leads to evil.
What is even worse is that the gov't now wants to reduce payroll "taxes". Payroll taxes aren't taxes at all, they are premiums for social benefits. So now the people at the bottom would get a free ride while the people at the middle and top (mostly top) carry the load. This is just wrong.
The gov't needs to get out of our retirements! When did I tell the gov't it was ok to plan my retirement for me? It's my life! I can do a better job than the gov't can! Let me do it!
For there to ever be a revolt, we need to change the tax system where every one gets 100% of their earnings but at the end of each month they must cut a check to the gov't.
Watch how quickly things would change!
=)
What it sounds like you're saying is
"From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" Karl Marx.
Yeah that was tried before, it didn't work.
My skills are mine alone. I learned them through hard work. I owe nothing to any one else. No one was there helping me stay up until 3am read books.
Ever got a job from a poor person?
I am very active in my commuinty and help people every chance I get... the point is that it's not the gov'ts role to do it. Charity starts at home.
It's called LIBERTARIANISM... look into it!
So let me get this straight, because I have money you are entitled to it? Sounds like theft to me! I am not a *winner*. I was abused as a child and I moved out a year ago and rode a bike to work every day... I learned a skill that is now making me money!
So let's say that I come up to you and you have 500 dollars and i'm broke. So I should be allowed to take your money from you so that I can eat? So when I pull a gun and put it to your head that is ok?
The gov't does it to you and me every week when we get our paychecks.
And look into why most people are poor while you're looking up libertarianism.
People have kids at 16 years old. Whos fault is that?
People abuse drugs. Whos fault is that?
People abuse alcohol... whos fault is that? not mine!
And how am I saying "let's kill these people". I never said that! I said that they don't deserve the money that I WORKED FOR! It's MINE! They don't deserve the spare bedroom in my house do they? It's my PROPERTY! PRIVATE PROPERTY!
I do care about these people... let them go get some charity's help! Don't force citizens to help them. Ever heard of equil protection under the law?
What ever happened to the concept that no citizen owes more than any other.
Try reading the constitution and the bill of rights!
Yeah what ever, mod me down for telling it like it is. Mod me down for disagreeing with me.. what ever..;)
Let me get this straight...
You want the government to put a gun to my head and take money from ME that I worked hard to earn, and give it to a poor person so that they can ride mass transit? Huh?
Sorry, the poor are poor because of the choices they make. They drop out of school, they abuse drugs, they abuse alcohol, they have kids when they can't afford it. Sorry, it's not my problem! It's their fault not mine. I work hard for my money and don't think that we should use the police power of the government to force me to pay for these people. If they wanna eat.. get a job, and don't have kids! Don't plunder my wallett for your food stamps so that you can buy frozen pizza and soda!
If you want transportation, ride a bike! I rode a bike for a year until I could afford a car.
Isn't this really a mute point? Echelon is real. They are already listening in on every phone call any ways (legal or not) and they already snoop on our internet uses. What exactly will change? If *they* want you, they will get you.
vote Libertarian, it's our only hope! www.lp.org
From that guy who shot a wireless lan off of trees and around the mountains "nothing but net"... not sure where that story is.. maybe i'll look it up. it was posted a few weeks ago;)
Really? You didn't learn about George Washington Carver? MLK jr.? Jesse Jackson? Colon Powell?
Weird. I did.
How about a WHITE college fund? Oh wait THAT would be racist wouldn't it? ermm.. right..
let's just keep breaking every thing down to the group identity of black and white and male and female.. and let's just ignore the individual.
But I OWN my keyboard and my window and MY AIBO! It's not like they are breaking into SONY and screwing with ALL the AIBOs! Just THEIR AIBO that THEY BOUGHT and THEY own. It's THEIRS! Right? My window is mine so you cannot break into it but feel FREE to break into your OWN window.

Kinda wondering what "Extreme programming" is. Is it where you bungie jump while coding? I dunno.
If I wrote an A paper and then some one copied it and also go an A, what difference does it make to me? Although there are many valid arguements to copying music, this isn't one of them. I would have written that paper any way! It isn't costing me money that some one has copied it.
Wow so this could bring a new kinda mile high club.. Cyber Sex at 40,000 feet ;)
See, flash is good for something ;)
Yeah it's great. I can die in a war fighting for this country, but I cannot have a beer. (Not that I want one.. but still)
I'm 19 and trust me, most teenagers are idiots who cannot make informed decisions. With that said, I don't care about the decisions of others as long as they don't affect me.

Ok morally I may owe people but read the constitution, I don't owe any one my property!
