"As soon as you decided to trade with someone else, you potentially infringed on someone else" - I don't understand, please elaborate about how two parties trading infringe on a third party.
I did not mean the pirated movie, I meant the concept of buying something that was forbidden by the laws at the time. I watched DBC in blu-ray from Redbox for $1.50 plus tax.
As I said, Devil's advocate here - There are way too many people, organizations, and governments that want to tell me what to do and how to live my life and I would like a way to "just say no", and do what I want to do with my body, my mind, my money, and as long as it does not infringe on anyone else, its my business and should be free from view.
I mostly agree with you but given the explosion of laws and regulations in the last few years, and the spying, data aggregation, and just general surveillance, many things that were assumed to be private are not. http://www.threefeloniesaday.c... http://thehill.com/regulation/...
We are moving toward and not away from totalitarian states. Freedom is decreasing in the world, both personally and economically.
T.H. White’s totalitarian principle: “Everything not forbidden is compulsory.”
That is why stuff like this is good, even if it may be used for bad things (just like a gun, knife, rope, car, brick, rock, club, axe, or a sharp pointy stick...).
Was it alarmist in the 1970's when we had an ice age coming? Whether global warming actually exists or not, the progressives have seized on global warming as an issue for one and only one reason -power over the people. (And, BTW, it was clinton rubbing his partisan dick all over the place instead of doing his job...)
Give a time frame for "just end" that would not put the whole world back into the stone age? The #1 cause of pollution (or carbon de-sequestration for you pointy types) is poverty. http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/...
Just think about how it will be if you are drinking your starbucks that was heated by burning cow dung...
had not be so busy getting a knobber, we might not have this problem:
Then again AlGore would not have a job being a global alarmist alarmist either...
"BAS: Are you surprised that so many environmental groups remain vehemently opposed to nuclear power?
Wigley: “Saddened” would be a better word. Often the main concern of those groups is proliferation—the use or theft of nuclear material to make weapons. I think that that is a misrepresented issue as well. One of the saddest things was when the Clinton administration shut down the program on fast reactors.1 Clinton, [Al] Gore, and John Kerry are to blame there. If that program had not been shut down, and fast reactors had continued to develop, within maybe three years we could have started building Integral Fast Reactor systems with the whole nuclear cycle on one site—reprocessing waste materials onsite and having very little residual waste to deal with. If that had happened, I don’t think we would have a global warming problem now at all. We could have started on a pathway of rapid introduction of fourth-generation nuclear technology, and we would have gained 20 years in solving the climate problem

Corley,
You are an idiot. You fail to grasp the difference between knowledge, skills, and experience. Training and education provide knowledge. The ability to apply that knowledge effectively is a skill. Repeatedly applying knowledge and skills creates a virtuous cycle called experience which increases productivity. Productivity is what increases the bottom line. Sometimes that might even take longer than a quarter...
You're a douche with no understanding of the real world.
Ok, these would be a good start, And yours other than "Blame Bush"?
1) Impeach Obama - http://www.impeachobamacampaig...
2) Balanced budget amendment
3) Flat tax
4) Term limits for the Senate, Congress, and Supreme court (See Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments)
5) Stop funding the United Nations and IMF
6) Repeal the 17th Amendment
7) Eliminate federal government involvement in Health Care, Education, and the mortgage industry
Is anything critical of this administration right wing or are they so wonderful in their totality that they are like pony, butterfly farts? Anytime something is posted that is published you proglocrats look like a bunch shambling, drooling zombies. Wake up, you got snookered, get over it and open your eyes. This guy is the worst president every and you fucks need to own it and fix it...
The US uses about 1/7 of the world's production of coal. http://www.worldcoal.org/resou... What about the 6/7th of the world production with China burning more than 3 times the US?
Thanks but I'll pass on destroying the US economy so environmentalist wackos can get over their self-loathing and white guilt...
I'm only a few hours into the game but the artwork and graphics are stupendous! My system is mid-range with a Intel Core 930 clocked to 3.3Ghz, 12 Gig DDR3, and a GTX 660 and the game is beautiful!. I got it for $7 at GMG and it is a bargain. Just buy it and no whining...
Games on a per $/hr basis are the best value in entertainment the world has ever seen. I sincerely thank the people who produce them!
See the Tivo Roamio (basic model). 4 tuners and a 500GB drive. Best Buy has been selling them for $199 with a $50 gift card and then you can price match to Amazon's $149 price. You can put a a 3TB drive in there for $130 more giving about 470 hours of HD. I just cut the cord from Comcast and went DSL, saving us about $125/month.
Most of the games they are aimed at have crouch and prone as integral movements. The lack of this in the Omni seems like a deal killer for me. Am I missing something?
From the FAQ:
"What movements can you perform on the Omni?
Besides walking, the Omni allows for running, jumping, and strafing (sideways stepping) in 360 degrees. The Omni software provides gesture recognition that translates movements to mouse and key strokes that steer the avatar in the virtual environment."

Oh wait, he appointed Leon... Now I don't know who to hate, maybe it will just have to be the whole government!
Maybe if the so-called press had done their job in the the first place over the last 20 years we would be in this mess.
Does this include Washington DC legislators and lobbyists?
