1. It's interesting that you didn't specify your country so we could check your facts
2. 1/3 of all Mexicans live the in US. Do you have the 1/3 poorest of a third world nation living in your country? You can't have socialism and open borders and we have both
3. You say you pay 49.6% of your income in taxes. After paying income tax, state income tax, property tax and sales tax I pay more than that. If you factor in the tax that my employer pays on all income he pays me, and the loss of corporate income due to the highest corporate income tax in the world I pay a LOT more than that. To rub salt in the wounds, if I were to work in other countries I would have to my my country's taxes as well as the other, and if I attempt to leave this country behind I get taxes substantially on everything that I own - even though I already paid taxes on the money already. When you add the death tax in for all the money I leave my family I think you'd be strained to find other countries that pay more taxes
4. We have socialized medicine here, but only for one group - our vets. Every 4 years the media 'expose' how bad it is and the politician wave their hands and promise to fix it, but don't. Their medical system atrocious and I don't wish it upon anyone - especially my own family.
5. Socialism is the antithesis of freedom. Someone is going to make the important decisions in your life. Is it going to be you - who actually cares, or a politician thousands of miles away who doesn't know you and really doesn't care? Given the choice, I choose freedom! I just wish there were politicians I could vote for who represent that.
If this had been in place a few years ago, then when Microsoft changed the desktop metro, people buying computers would have been able to subscribe to the Win7 instead of 8 which would have forced Microsoft to abandon it's horrid change. Other than that, I see this as being bad for the consumers...... So I guess that means it will happen. I can't wait for my system to fail to boot because MS cannot confirm that I've paid my OS rent due to the fact that I don't has a network connection at my client's site.
"failed justice system" Let me guess, the cop should have let the MrBrown take his gun and kill him with it? The facts in this case were crystal clear- the police officer acted according to the law and was innocent of any crime.
Odd, I've never heard it be referred to as Partisan on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN or in the NY Times, LA Times,..... You must watch one of this extremist 'fringe' channels to have heard this
Just goes to show that you can spend a lot of money and get little in result. Seriously, can anyone tell me 1 innovative thing about the Surface? Something that a cheap Chinese manufacturer couldn't have thought of, but for less cost?
Don't get me wrong, Microsoft does some great research - C#,.net, and Singularity - all pretty cool. But they fail in turning this into great products.
Quote: But if they are a large enough business (even if not a "monopoly", take Wal Mart for instance) does it really matter
Yes. I occasionally shop at WalMart. I wish they paid their employees more, but they're not "evil" by my standards - if someone gave you the option of getting $10,000 or having that money given to a WalMart employee, what would you choose? If you would choose the employee then I would call you a hypocrite - you always have the option of walking into a WalMart and giving money to employees.
If WalMart did something offensive to me I would shop elsewhere. I have a choice as to whether or not I want to give them my business/money. Contrast that with the government which forces itself on me and takes my money without my consent. If I chose to deny them my wealth they would send people to collect it by any means necessary up to and including killing me to get it.
There are situations where your being held hostage - if you want xyz then you have to download and run this app. If you need xyz then your forced to comprimise the integrity of your system. This shouldn't be the case. Sandboxie has a system in which you can run those apps in a box, then choose what you want to bring over from that box (xyz) without bringing over everything (bad virus). I used this in order to get Minecraft mods for my son from evil websites like iLivid.
If sandboxie-like functionality was built into the core OS then it's a simple matter to fix issues on grandma's computer when she installs EVILVIRUS in order to get a recipe. If the gui is clean and clear then grandma can fix it herself. It also presents a clean system to the sandboxed app so the virus can't steal your private info.
If Microsoft had any sense "if(0)" then they would use this technology along with the containers idea from docker as their future installation mechanism. This also make differential backups much easier. It win win win all over the place.
Kickstarter begin 3 days be Occulus announced their Crescent Bay which has vastly improved resolution. I have a DK2 and as immersive as it is, the resolution is definitely an issue, and this is the same resolution as the Vrvana one. The cameras are nice though- the ability to switch between the 2 is useful. The only other thing that would be a god-send would be a 2d->3d button for when a 2d image is sent to the vr headset which you are required to see, but due to lens cannot.
This reminds me of an interview with the lead designer of Google Glass who was demonstrating that our current laws are problematic. If you were in a park streaming from your glasses and turned to look in the direction of a noise and saw a man raping a child, then you would be guilty of distributing and would face a worse punishment than the man who is committing the crime!
"there is about three times less lithium in stars than expected"
It's my pet peeve that people speak like this- it just shows that they don't understand basic math. If the researchers expect 1 trillion tons of lithium, then "Three times less" would be 3*(1 trillion tons). "Three times less" would be 1trillion - 3*(1trillion) = -2 trillion tons of lithium. OMG, this explains all that dark matter that we've heard about- there's anti-lithium everywhere!
The correct phrasing would be "A third as much as expected". I can't take articles like this seriously when it presented by someone who fails to understand basic math!
"Every country that has had a gun ban strongly enforced has had a reduction in homicides"
Correction, should read "a reduction in gun-related homicides". Overall homicides do not decrease. They just kill you with an axe
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, I do deny that there is a scientific consensus. It is also based on horrible "science". https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It's because if scientists make predictions that don't come to pass it makes us question their science: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/s...
I think that's from the Dictionary definition.
Government: "where arrogance replaces actual skill"
Yes, but the Silk Road has to win every fight. If the government employee wins 1 - just 1 then the game is over.
You mean DirectX 12. Should be a major update/change from 11, and only available on Windows10.
Yes, but the deal that they will vote on is kept secret from the public and the vote on it will be held in private as well. That's not acceptable

So people pay to play this game...... then they pay other people so they don't have to......... odd
I use Qubes. I don't have to worry about this stuff :P

We can all agree on one thing - there should be cameras in EVERY police car so we can see the truth for ourselves!
Is that you Pontius Pilate? You do NOT sacrifice justice to serve a mob!

Does this take into account that fewer people have healthcare now than before Obamacare took effect?

DLC - sharks $5, waterskis $5, jumping ramp $5. If you want the sharks to have lazers, then they'll cost $10

Yes, 'ad hominem fallacies' are a waste of breath
