TANSTAAFL. Stuff that the government gives away is stuff that is stolen from somebody else. In the case of "health insurance" or "health services" the theft is distributed (unevenly) among the general populace through taxes, and specifically taken from the freedom and income of doctors, hospitals, and other workers in the health professions, and from the ill in the form of poorer and slower service.
First of all, having 5% of the world's population, they incarcerate 25% of the world's prisoners.
One aspect of freedom is not being attacked. We put these people in prison; that helps keep us free. On the other hand, there are a lot of people in prison for violating bad laws, and that is unjustifiable.
If I lived in the United States, I would have a 1 in 14 chance of spending time behind bars in my lifetime.
By and large, ending up behind bars depends upon behaving badly, even if it's only public drunkenness or disorderly conduct. If you're not a fool or a villain, you chances of staying out of jail are very good.
From what I've read, the internment during WWII occurred only on the west coast, so that was another criterium. It smells like more of the political weirdness that came from the FDR administration.
There is way to many mangers at this company, too many chief and not enough indians.
Well that just says it all, doesn't it? Inability to distinguish singular from plural. Working for a company with too many feeding troughs for horses and cattle. Perhaps you meant "manager", not "manger"?
There is a lot more competition for qualified IT workers in the US than elsewhere - Hundreds upon hundreds of companies want sharp programmers. Small companies do not have the resources to recruit effectively in India or China, Microsoft does, and it's in Microsoft's competitive advantage to do so.
TFA says the median is $71,000. Given the nature of salary distributions, the arithmetic mean is likely to be higher. How about full disclosure? Give us a graph.
Also, TFA cites green card applications, not green card grants.
A brief search for UL limits came up with a variety of limits, depending upon application. I'm not at all certain of these figures, but I saw values of 1 mA, 500 uA, and 100 uA.
Pure laetril is relatively nontoxic, and until it became a political whipping boy, it was on the GRAS list. Impure forms, particularly unrefined or poorly refined kernels, contain or easily generate cyanide.
Treatments with laetril generally included lots of other stuff. Since careful modern tests have shown laetril not to be effective, if these treatments were effective, it must have been the other stuff that made a difference.
The sad fact is that some things in Windows are permanently broken and will never be fixed. They can never be fixed because Windows is closed source. Most people have learned not to try to do the things in Windows that lead to damage, and this behavior is so deeply ingrained that they've forgotten it was ever a problem.
There are also some things in Linux that are permanently broken and will never be fixed, but at least there is the possibility that they can be fixed.
This is why I have to dual boot. I spend most of my time in Linux, because it's less likely to break.
Loss of CLI dominance would make Linux worthless to me. I'd go back to using Win98 as my main OS. Daily heavy use of sort and sed and grep are essential to my work; a clicky-mouse interface just doesn't cut it.
A desktop implies work, and work is what Linux does better than other OSes. If you want games, then Windows is currently where you want to be. If all you want is internet, email, some photo work and a word processor, then any OS works.
Beyond a certain point, what constitutes a good UI is subjective. What a person finds useful and intuitive varies too much from one person to the next for there to be guidelines that work. I struggle continually in Photoshop and Open Office to find something I've used before in a dropdown menu, only to find after many minutes of searching that it has a weird name and isn't in the first menu I was looking in. Or the second. Or the third. Someone must have thought that action was in the right menu, so his brain must be working in a manner very different from mine.
There are already compelling economic reasons to be in space. Weather satellites, communications satellites, TV satellites, spy satellites are the most obvious.
In contrast to the Bible, most people who have Harry Potter books read them cover-to-cover. In addition, the Harry Potter books aren't being pushed by a semi-organized international cartel.
This is one of the best pieces of advice I've ever read. A corollary is "don't listen to whiners" unless you have to. They can make your working unpleasant, hurt your company, and make you less effective.
"There just aren't as many bonds. Thus it's not going to produce the same amount of energy in your engine."
Wrong. It makes less energy because, in effect, it's already patially burned (oxygenated). Ethane has about the same energy per pound as gasoline (i.e. more than ethanol.) Ethane is similar to ethanol but has fewer bonds, but produces more energy.

You are accepting the word of the ex-head of the KGB. This is beyond the range of what can be considered an innocent mistake.

The GP used calm language, you used the phrase "idiotic rant". Look in a mirror.
Sarcasm implies scorn. There is no scorn in the joke, it's just a funny look at how the subject can be misinterpreted.

Many American Indian tribes were nomadic because they so thoroughly polluted their local environment with human wastes that they had to move or die.
Wrong.

I know! Put it on sale on November 5 in Britain.

Never give your reason for leaving unless you are fishing for a counter-offer. It usually generates ill will, and can be used as evidence against you.
To be a smear campaign, it must be libel. In the U.S., if it's true, it's not libel.
