When they talk about an ecological footprint they calculate how much space each person takes up. Not just by standing in a spot, but by the resources they use. So most people end up taking up a couple square miles of space. But there are discrepencies, where the people of the US might take up 4-8 square miles, someone in a developing country might take up less than 1 square mile.
What happens when you put 20,000 Libertarians together? Dueling bangos, or just dueling.
I'm sorry, Libertarians would probably be okay if
A) They weren't such gun freaks.
B) They didn't think that they all deserved to be inherently wealthy over and above the cost of basic services.
They should definately locate themselves in Mass. so that I don't have to relocate. Since I live in Mass. and would love to be a part of anything that improves this lame-ass country. Not that I'm too lazy to move out of Mass. I guess.... I should probably read the article to makes sure it's not a lame-ass plan though.
But wait, if the government denies it, then it can't exist, right? But it exists so then the government couldn't have denied it, no wait that's not right. They're supposed to be the good guys who tell the truth and abide by ethical standards. Oh, what a perplexing world: well there goes my confidence in the government.
The majority of the press in the US are the same way though: tell 'em to shut up and they do. That's why it takes an effort to find out things that the gov't doesn't explicitly want you to know. E.g. info about the 'war' in Afgan. To find any info you have to go to the UK or more likely mid-east news sites. They don't seem to care if the news comes out 5 years later as long as it was under wraps at the time since most americans don't care about anything that happened a month ago let alone a few years...
I actually have this book. It does read fairly well with some good examples: although I should note that I haven't finished it yet. One thing it is especially usefull for is defining a math library that's accurate. Crenshaw talks about how a lot of compiler's built in function/methods don't hold up to rigorous math and he's right. But instead of just complaining about it he walks through solid alternatives. Overall it's pretty good and would provide some quality code for open projects. IMHO anyway.
The above comment is obviouse flamebait but enticing nonetheless. The watchmaker analogy is dead in the water especially when you consider evolution, or the fact that "God" would have been making pretty crappy "watches". So much for not planning ahead. What's most interesting though is that you pick a particular "God" when there are plenty of others out there that precede aforementiond deity with rule sets and all. In a nut shell it's just a matter of people creating something, giving it whatever attributes they like, and then turning around and saying that that something gave all those attributes to the people. It's a sad sort of neurological disorder really.
How about Professional Geek, or Professional Development Geek: Pro.D.G. Any way you say it: "engineer" "programmer" "debian", Once you're in it for the technology itself and what can be done with said technology you are a Geek. Stop twitching.
Either pay cash for books or avoid the library or just read the books at the library without checking them out. This country is getting pathetically silly. I just read an article at the boston globe talking about how the old nut job G. Kill 'em All Bush stated that the US considers preemptive strikes perfectly reasonable and assures the US that it will be dominant in al military aspects at whatever cost. What a gimp.
It would be better if Marvel worked with other comic companies like DC and Dark Horse. The more characters and diversity the better. Batman versus Lobo, that would be interesting...Lobo would win though...
There has to be some sort of balance though or all of the "weaker" heros will just get wiped out My question is: how can they be super"heros" if they go around destroying each other? You know that it's just going to end up being one big slug fest to see who the strongest superheros are and some have obvious advantages over others. All the while there will be cats stuck up trees...
Exactly, the more information you give out the more information "they" (e.g. BayTSP, FBI, RIAA) will eventually use against you. With the lawmakers being so lax about privacy rights, in many cases removing rights altogether, it's more a matter of: "Anything you put on the net, networked however you like it, is up for grabs by whosoever has the money or the power." So it doesn't matter which type of network you choose, it's just a matter of choosing to give the information to anyone and everyone.
Oh no, the flag is missing a stripe.
Big deal the country is missing its freedom.
ASFAIC the flag of be bleached and altered to fit the real ideals of the USA. Murder, Money, Greed, and a blatant disregard for logic as shown clearly by George "kill'em all" Bush.
There aren't many countries left that care more about freedom thatn opression and the all-mighty buck so I suggest: A) we pick a state, one that's comfy and not to small B) Take it over c) Start over with compotent people and D) Watch the rest of the world imprison itself in stupidity ---Darn, sounds a bit too much like Atlas Shrugged.

Their free state seems to have been slashdotted. Shortest regime ever.

Hopefully they would, but sometimes even the smallest details are passed over. That's why criticism is a good thing.
Thank you...
