The illegals can not control the addiction enough for a part time job and enough to pay the slightly greater cost of the legal market for them.
You mean cokeheads? I knew lots of cokeheads who sold time share in Mexico. I've met lots of cokeheads who make LOTS of money. Big market.
Potheads can't hold jobs? Maybe you're just not picking up on the incredibly high percentage of people who smoke or have smoked weed and think there's nothing wrong with it because they figure you're a bad person to mention it to.
Yeah, they need to make drugs legal, then there wouldn't be any illegal drugs.
In other words, if you think the ILLEGALITY of a drug is what defines it as bad, make it legal; otherwise, identify the drugs by the common thread that makes them bad.
I think Crystal Meth is bad. Weed, therapeutic and useful. Coke, not so bad. Heroin, pretty bad (invented and introduced by Bayer!), but not as bad as meth. Acid and Mushrooms? Educational.
Pharmaceuticals? Unifyingly bad for you, but hey, sometimes you gotta kill a virus. The pain pills and antipsychotics are a mostly horseshit, though.
Give me a similar run-down, and I might take you seriously.
Yeah, journalists are sort of exempt, and it allows them to provide the free flow of information without getting a cap in their ass for trying to talk to gangsters. yeah.
the RIAA looks after the copyrights and whatnot (yeah, I know, they look after their own wallet, blabla) of -their- members. If you are an indie artist, they don't much care about you (other than your diluting the market and such) or rather your copyrights.. as you are not a member.
Yes, but they already tried (succeeded?) in collecting tax on indie tracks played by internet radio stations, and the indie artists have to write them and ask them for the money, or they never get it.
You can say pretty much anything you want--and i done skeet-shot your granmamma as proof--and it makes more sense than anything the RIAA does.
You're kidding me. You seriously think there's nothing wrong with Linux sound? I'm not even going to debate that point, I'm just going to let you sound like an idiot on your own.
I see you've picked up the "I'm not even going to debate you" tactic put to such good use by Young Earth Creationists. Way to be a fucking tool.
I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with Linux audio. What I'm saying is that his argument is horseshit. On Windows, you have an inadequate audio subsystem, and to compensate, a commercial company wrote ASIO so that they could sell software. Linux audio is not half as bad as that. For 90% of all major audio apps available under Linux, you install ALSA, and you install JACK. JACK is only complicated if you don't understand signal flow, in which case, you shouldn't be doing audio engineering.
I got far better performance and fewer anomalies with professional hardware under Linux than I ever did under Windows. And I personally prefer the way the Linux stuff works, though I recognize that when I had all my recording gear, I was not producing music professionally for other people.
This guy's argument on this point amounts to, "Look at all these names! Wow! That's hard!" Which I basely reject, considering that you install UbuntuStudio, and press go, and your shit is skating along at top speed, save in cases where manufacturers put an essential part of the hardware firmware in a binary or something utterly ridiculous.
So, your 2 year old laptop model works fine with the *brand new* version of your distro, which you run at *home*. Obviously, that means that Linux works perfect for everyone, since no one will ever have to use a distro older than 6 months or a computer newer than 2 years old.
I said, "Linux is progressing fairly well in general. My laptop works out of the box." If you think that wireless support isn't worlds better under Linux (despite the lack of cooperation from hardware vendors), you haven't been paying any attention at all.
I said that Linux has problems if you think its only goal is supporting the business desktop. And it's making progress. Again, a year ago, I knew nobody who ran Linux except for geeks. Now, I know several people who picked it up on their own, and several people who have asked me for advice on it. I know a couple people who run Linux for business.
I am not an irrational Linux fanboy, and I've never recommended Linux to anyone before trying to prove that it wouldn't work for them, eg, do they need apps that won't work? Do they use ActiveX sites as a matter of necessity? Are they actually suffering from being in Windows?
>(minus the camera, which requires firmware that you can't download anywhere). So, it's really not a problem that your operating system can't use your computer's hardware? Maybe it would be simpler for you if you just left your computer turned off.
We're talking out of the box. My point is, where firmware is readily available, things generally work out of the box. I had to install the drivers for my camera manually. You're telling me that Windows supports all laptop webcams out of the box? Or downloads the readily-available firmware off the Internet for you?
Linux needs commercially-hosted backup and restore? Where oh where might I find an rsync server?
And the audio stuff? In Windows, you use the Windows sound system for normal apps, and ASIO for low latency. In Linux, you use ALSA (or one of wrappers/libraries designed to make your life easier) or JACK for low-latency.
This article is a bunch of non-problems. I understand that Linux has problems IF its goal is to nail down commercial usage. But, damn, it seems to be making respectable progress in that regard, as well as progressing by leaps and bounds in other areas. My laptop wouldn't have worked very well at all a year or two ago. On Intrepid, everything works out of the box (minus the camera, which requires firmware that you can't download anywhere).
Um, restricting your diet is the one thing that makes life difficult.
If we were hard up, the vegetarians would adjust and start eating whatever was available, or they'd die. Which would suit me just fine. More rat for me.:)
Funny, maybe. First, they broke the freaking law. Now, they've put the people who need to handle their data in a difficult situation by not being cooperative.
Well, I'm projecting. But also, this guy hangs out in my gym, and I've heard him talk a bunch of shit before and after the election. He pretty much called Obama a Marxist Arab and called people who were supporting him un-American.
I realize that based on my original comment alone, my comment seemed baseless. And I'm not trying to excuse the pro-Obama idiots, either. But I'm pretty damn sure based on inference that that's what he meant.
Outside the USA, you'll only see it in dictatorships that tries to whip up unity/loyalty for to state, but obvously it's not quite the same thing here (since americans spam their surroundings with US flags by their own free will, not by a state decree).
Oh yes it is the same thing. They've equated patriotism with flag-bearing and equated being upatriotic with terrorism. So stupid people smother themselves in flags.
A quote: "I'm the only person in my neighborhood with a McCain sign and an American flag"
by which this guy meant that Obama supporters are terrorists. See?

yeah.
Sorry, I should have said, "accurate" instead of "factual."
Well, 74 out of 79 statistics I read are accurate, but I'm a statistical outliar.
Get it? outLIAR!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
However, the amplification components of the radio act as detectors to the GSM signal. It's not an interference issue.
The amplification component of my testicles is precisely the bit I'm worried about, though.
Google "refurb sansa e200" and install rockbox. I'll buy your earbuds off you, since I closed mine in my car door. :(
Come to think of it, when is the last time you got a stat that you knew for sure was factual?
Actually, 9 out of every 10 stats I read are factual. But then, I'm a statistical outlier...
Yes, but you think Obama gives a fuck about ogg? LOL.
I think if you copy stuff and sell it, you're a fucking bastard, though. I think that's what GP was saying.
And why isn't there a pen/pencil tax? I can sit in a library and write down, verbatim, the text from a book.
Yeah, well I got back at you by downloading the original text you uploaded to slashdot.
bwahahahahahahahahaa.

Plus, I'm not sure how reading a typed message from someone is any different from reading it out of a textbook.
Except that you can ask the person to clarify. I mean, yes this is funny. But it's not that goddamn funny. Or alarming at all.
Here's a headline:
"Person learns engineering by reading messages downloaded from the Internet."

If we were hard up, the vegetarians would adjust and start eating whatever was available, or they'd die. Which would suit me just fine. More rat for me. :)
It's called 'division of labor' and it's the foundation of society and civilization. Get used to it.

If every meat eater has to kill his own animals there would be a whole lot more vegetarians.
And if every vegetarian had to grow his own vegetables, there would be a lot more dead people.
Sod off. Meat eaters who live in rural areas generally kill at least some of their own meat, or know someone who does. /thread
It's common in literary circles.
Funny, maybe.
