You keep argueing your point even when a normal person would have realized by now he had none.
The socket was made available to VISITORS of the school to charge LAPTOPS. NOT for outsiders to charge their car.
THE VERY fact that you need a switch inside the house shows you how vile your world view is. If people just kept their paws of other peoples property you wouldn't need the switch. AND then, if someone's car ran down, saw your socket, they could charge their car, put a tenner in your mailbox with a thank you note and drive home.
Which is the better world to live in? Yours or mine? Yours were everything needs a lock or mine were you can trust people not to abuse everything?
Post your bank account details here, I and everyone else will promise not to with draw more then 5 cents a day, each and every day, everyone one of us.
The guy in the story was an asshole repeatedly trying to charge his car for free. He didn't do it just once because his car ran down, he did it as a matter of routine. His mentality is the reason everything has to be locked up and nailed down. Because if not everything is behind lock and key some asswipe will abuse it.
Thanks to this guy, if your electric car happens to run down, you won't find any socket available you can ask permission to use because now everyone will put a lock on the socket and have "regulations" to deal with this. All because this asshole was to cheap to charge his car at home.
There is only one asshole here. No wait, there is the asshole from the story and you for thinking his repeated actions are okay. Or did you not read the story?
No normal person calls in a bomb threat to get out of a final that will at most just end being delayed.
That YOU were (and are) an idiot doesn't mean everyone is. If your moronic logic was true, then the phone at your average school would never stop ringing. This guy (and since you clearly identify with him, you) is an asshole who thought nothing of creating a major nuisance for teachers and students because he wanted to get out of an exam. Ten to one you and him are the type who then later grow up... grow older and at the slightest provocation threaten to sue anyone and everyone for any delay or inconvenience.
It is the eternal excuse of the asshole: Everyone does it.
The child rapist and murderer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Dutroux has also been sentenced to pay restitution. He hasn't payed a dime while getting rich in prison working the stock market but through accounts in his sons name.
But that guy just murdered and tortured some girls. He is not as serious a criminal as someone who uploads a movie of course.
I once knew a person like you, a most entitled little piece of shit who never did anything for anyone ever. And he couldn't figure why he couldn't hang on to a good job. Because NOBODY liked him, so at the first opportunity he got fired not because of cost cutting but simply because nobody wanted his odious ass around.
If it was a hit song, then why is there no income in July? And August? Oh wait, there is, he might still be collecting money for work done years for DECADES to come.
Who else gets payed for work they did once? Let him add the total, over his lifetime AND his childrens lifetime, and divide it by the number of hours he spend on it. Wanna bet it comes to far more then minimum wage? And this is ONE source of payment? You ever did work and get payed by multiple people for decades to come? No, me neither.
This artist purposely uses misleading data. That means he is a lying piece of scum.
The summary states how much artists are payed and the claim that the artists think that because the payout is not a billion dollars, they are payed to little and spotify is in the wrong.
I am sure many a person cleaning toilets is ALSO not happy with the payout. But the market value of cleaning toilets is low and so apparently is the market value of music by most artists.
Is spotify paying to little or is "indie" (read non-popular) music simply not a viable product in todays entertainment market.
THINK OF THIS: I see NOTHING in the article that could not lead to the conclusion: For barely any plays at all, unknown artists earn more per month then the majority of Americans. 3300 bucks? Isn't that in fact several times minimum wage in the US?
So what are they bitching about? Can I bitch that I am not payed enough for having sex with women? I only make 3300 dollars a month for shagging 400.000 women and I just don't think that is enough...
How much do these artists they should be payed FOR A SINGLE song that, statistically speaking, nobody wants to hear?
Life is hard, many people have to do back breaking work and still don't earn 3300 a month. And they certainly don't get payed for work they did last month, last year or even a decade ago.
How much do these "artists" expect to be payed anyway for a SINGLE listen to a SINGLE song by a SINGLE person?
You are talking of a single transaction shifting the market 5% and you call that small?
Real economic markets panic of fractions of a percent shift with billions in transactions.
If a real currency could suffer a 5% inflation with the selling of a single million, everyone would conclude that currency is totally non-viable.
Basically you are saying that if you own bitcoins, you could lose 5% anytime someone sells a single million of a currency supposedly worth billions. That is NOT a stable reliable currency.
In IT, development, there are often a lot of different ways to achieve a thing. Version control is one of them, for most basic needs most version control systems offer the same features. Subsversion, mercurial and git? I can use any of them and have all common needs met. So why demand specific knowledge of a specific solution?
Because of shit for brains developers. They are ALWAYS on the lookout for the magic tool that means they don't have to do their job anymore and insist solution X is the only solution until a new flavor of the day comes along.
Here is a warning sign, if your a web developer and the job/project uses more then two programming languages, RUN! It means the developers are hammering in their flavors of the day creating a mass of code in different languages, 9 times out of 10 completely depended on a specific config and version that nobody wants to bother with anymore because their experiment failed and now they want to experiment some more.
I recently did an interview where more and more requirements kept cropping up and more and more languages with the backend being written in javascript, php and python. Ooh yes, I would LOVE to become responsible for fixing that mess. NOT!
Interviewing is like dating, its main goal is NOT to find true love but to ditch the crazies before they found out where you life (but I will get you my pretty oh, yes and then we will be happy FOREVER) anyway, if a job seems to suck during the recruitment process consider yourself warned and move on (but I will never let you escape!)
Because there is a severe shortage of good developers. I don't get the outright bile and hatred so many idiots here display about women in the workplace. Afraid they will take you jobs? I could double my income by getting people placed, and getting the bounty for finding them, in companies were they are desperate for GOOD developers, not the anti-social misogynists who want to see the world burn lousy coders who react with such angst to the idea a woman might be able to do their job.
But I don't know any good developers who aren't already making top dollars for their field who want to move. I know a shit load of really bad developers. Oh most of them can code, they just can't for the life of them deliver a project per requirements on time and on budget. Then your code quality don't matter, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
We need MORE people in the field because right now projects are on hold because there is nobody to do them. And that sucks! And to anyone who feels threatened by competition from either immigrants or women in this field must be really bad at their job.
I would not ever consider hiring phoenix03, he is clearly poisonous in the work place. Why is he so afraid of women?
Ask the artists who openly break drug laws because they claim unpopular laws not supported by the majority of people (so they claim) are immoral.
Ask the artists who support copyright laws because they claim laws that hurt a small minority but have no popular support are moral and those who break said laws are immoral.
The reality of course is that pretty everyone is FOR laws that benefit themselves and against laws that don't.
Companies want to produce in cheap labor markets but preclude consumers from consuming from cheap labor markets (see import restrictions), you CD is made in Vietnam but you can't buy it from Vietnam.
Workers want companies to keep factories local so they can get a salary which they then wish to spend on cheap goods made abroad.
We are all selfish pieces of shit out to screw everyone and ending up screwing ourselves.
This is the country that locks up file sharers. This is the country that is the toadie of the US where Assange is wanted on a bogus "rape" charge that wouldn't be a charge in any other civilized country.
There isn't a lack of criminals. The Dutch government is doing the same thing, closing jails. It is however NOT because crime has dropped, just that fewer and fewer jail sentences are given for even serious crime. It is easy to decrease the prison population, just abolish jail sentences.
Does that make for a better society? Ask this when you are violated and the criminal gets a slap on the wrist.
This has nothing to do with Sweden having found the answer to the problems of crimes and is just a cost cutting measure. Crime in Sweden has NOT gone down.
Classic MMORPG's got ONE fixed fee max out of you and that was it. And you knew it and they knew it. You payed 14.95 max per month, no more, no less and they had to lure you to keep playing with more content.
The thing I find really most amazing about "F2P" is just how fucking expensive it is. 14.95 once a month will buy you NOTHING. A legendary item in GW2 could easily be half a thousand to a thousand euro's with no discount for buying more gold. Who is that desperate?
As for playing just the story... the story is a grind too. "Hello, we are baking cupcakesto day, oh wait all the eggs spawned monsters, kill 5 waves of mobs!" "Hai there an entire army has marched on the enemies strong hold for a gloryrious do or die battle... oh you go in all alone and kill 5 waves of mobs please".
To make matters worse, there is one mission where you accompany some sniper plant people who kill everything with one shot. WTF? Where were they before OR after?
GW2 is a Michael Bay summer block buster movie. Enjoyable but when the next movie comes alone you will have totally forgotten about it.
Lets see, legendary items, how long would you say it takes to aquire one? Down to the nearest month.
New crafted ascended weapons bould down to one item, you can only get from endlessly grinding either puzzles or dungeons. You need lots and lots of them. Crafting at first is easy but the last levels explode with weapons going from requiring ONE item to FIVE.
Items you buy with Laurels cost 50 or so, you can get 1 laurel per day and another 10 per month. So 1 item requires at least a month. There are 5 sloths. Forget about it if you got multiple alts.
Oh sure, you can fight with lesser items, you just die a lot.
Levelling up in GW2 is easy, getting gear so you can compete with other players, that is the grind.
It ain't all that bad a game and if you just play it for fun without aiming to be really effective, well you can have a blast.
But pretending it isn't a grind heavy game is just plain silly.

Belial6 never visited a museum when attending school and his/her mind has not fully developed as a result.
Basically the study seems to claim that teaching kids makes them smarter. Who knew! Is going to a museum that unusual in the US?
Jefferson is a hypocrite who talked about opposing the slave trade while keeping slaves. Compared to him ANY modern legislator is an icon of virtue.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson_and_slavery
He also opposed the practice of slave masters freeing their own slaves as he believed this made slave uprisings more likely.
This is your example of liberty?
