He aims for real campaign finance reform, real healthcare reform, and prosecuting corporate and governmental law-breakers.
Which is why you haven't seen him on any major news outlet in the past few months other than Al Jazeera. It's not just politicians who like the status quo. Reduce the amount corporations can spend on politicians and you reduce the amount politicians can spend on advertising.
That he has bosses too does not make him not the boss. That he could not accomplish what he now claims he wanted to does, however, make him a bad boss.
Rocky Anderson. If you're wondering why you haven't heard about him, watch the interview with him, Amy Goodman and Eleanor Clift on Al Jazeera English.
I'd like less features, not because I hate features, but because they usually add more crap which needs to be loaded.
I'd love it if you got rid of the whole hiding comments thing, for example. It plays hell with searching and scrolling. Just show 'em all. That'll help you with flagging inappropriate, anyhow. You'll get a lot more feedback if you put everything in front of everyone's eyeballs.
No, the obvious, cheap, easy way to store hydrogen is to mix it with oxygen. It makes a really stable compound which we could truck around, or send places in pipes.
Farsi is French for Persian. It's the language of Iran. Arabic is the Esperanto of the Islamic world. Lots of dialects, but generally mutually intelligible all over. Start with that, and move to Pashto, and then one of the many other other languages spoken in Afghanistan. Persian would not be the language of first choice, since Iran prefers to sneak around rather than make things obvious.
No, it's still very good advice. If the poster wants to work in IT, he's better off using interpersonal skills to get the job than two years of more school. If he fails in one, he'd fail in the other. Not sayig he'll have success, but the above press-the-flesh advice is always good, no matter what the environment. It's additive/multiplicative. Won't get you a job if there's no base, but always helps.
Yes, maybe he should avoid the field. But if he's decided to try, he should do the flesh-pressing.
Spot on. Also the poster needs to work on his circle of friends in the business. Expand contacts in the OSS work he's doing and get in via a side door, rather than a front door.
(For this reason, it's best to work on OSS projects which are having big corporate uptake.)
No, it's not true. If he's good he'll move up. If he's not, he won't. If you're judging from the people around you and who moves up, I think you may be making a corellation vs causation error. Most CS people suck. Most computer people suck. The best are the ones drawn to it early, and they're more likely to get a CS degree. Therefore the best move up, and they predominantly have CS degrees. Doesn't mean that CS degrees = upward mobility.
If you're at a company where you're valued by your paper and not your performance, change companies.
And you'd be wrong on the going for a degree thing. Not in that potential employers are willing to take risks, but rather your assumption that employers are currently interested in college grads with no experience any more than they're interested in novices with no degree. He'll have a hard time getting a job now. If he goes to college and comes out, he'll have a hard time getting a job, and he'll be two years older and a lot poorer.
Agreed on all of paragraph two. If he's going to self-educate, he should look at the jobs offered and learn whatever's in demand. He just needs a first job. Once he has that he'll be able to go out and get a second job quickly.
But right now, he's better of hustling and getting a first job, no matter how crappy, then getting a CS degree.
This is crap. Go apply for programming jobs. Work through your circle of friends. Expand that circle through your contacts in the OSS projects you're in. Find a job. It might be a little harder for you, but it'll be way less than two years harder.
Real, solid healthcare reform was also blocked by the Democrats, which is why we got the joke we did. Helps some people, which is good, benefits insurance companies, which is a big waste of money. Leaves a bunch STILL out in the cold.
Your box is costing you money in its power requirements. Buy a used atom box on ebay. You'll save money in the first year, if it's always on (in my state, you can get a good estimate of cost by dividing the watts by 2 -- a 200 watt computer costs you $100 to run for a year always on).
It will boot faster, if it's not always on, saving you time.
The "reuse" part of "reduce, reuse, recycle" only makes sense if you also factor in your ongoing costs.
OK, you understand the gag of Kang and Kodos is that America is so frightened of voting for a third party that one of the two has to win. "What? And throw your vote away? HAHAHAHAHA!"
When faced with the choice of two evils, YOU MUST NOT VOTE FOR EITHER ONE.
I would love an electric car. If I total the car I currently have, I will definitely buy an electric to replace it. But the Volt really turns me off. It has bucket seats my aged parents couldn't in and out of without pain. It has less glass than I would want. It's made by GM, who have showed us time and time again that they couldn't find their ass with both hands. And it has an internal combustion engine I'd have to haul around but never use.
I have a Scion Xb. If I could find something like it -- upright, not made for speed but for utility, small, light, tight turning radius (my Xb has a tighter turn radius than either the volt or the leaf), I'd buy it. But I can't afford to do so unless my Xb gets totaled, or shows some expensive wear, or the EVs get cheaper.
Give me a converted Scion Xb or a 1961 BMW 2002, and I'd be ecstatic. Seems like everyone's trying to sell cars with chassis made to hold internal combustion engines and go 90 mph for cars we're just going to drive around the city in. We need to go 80 MAX in them, and then only in the worst pre-rush hour speeding on highways. Mostly we need to go 60 or less, and we need to be able to see. We need room for passengers and groceries. We need to be able to park them easily. We don't need trucks or sports cars. We need a smaller version of a mini-van built to be safe and support and electric drive.
The Volt is the wrong design by the wrong company at the wrong price.
I suspect that the next car I buy will be European (not just a VW, for example, but one sold in France/designed for Paris driving) or Chinese.
No, I think you're wrong on that. The lawmakers were REALLY cheap. A drop in the bucket. Maybe he'd be upset about how much they spent on lobbyists, but the politicians themselves were a bargin.
I'm sure you and Obama agree on all of that. It makes him a coward who sold out the rights of American citizens without a fight. I'll be voting for someone else.

Maybe no right to detain, but they exercise the ABILITY all the time.

Start with Rocky Anderson.
Five would be easier. You don't even need GM -- just tweasers.

Look at Rocky Anderson's positions.
Good analysis.
Take a look at Rocky Anderson as, if not our next president, a wedge to force the parties to actually represent people.
I'd like it to load fast and use a LOT less AJAX.

This is silly. Your degree title is irrelevant. Peddle the work you've done.
College is not the same as a vocational school.

Both parties are massively corrupt.
