Considering the most sold beers in the USA include bud lite and miller lite, I can safely say he knows nothing about beer. He is a connoisseur of beer flavored waters though.
It's merely a question of willingness. I agree there's only so much you can possibly do for someone who won't lift a finger to help himself.
That is the position I was talking about. Joe Sixpack does not care, and will not care. The position of Joe Sixpack is that anything that requires reading or 5 minutes of his time is to hard for him.
As I have now two responses that seem to assume I think Joe Sixpack is some sort of invalid I will admit I should have been clearer.
Users are not even interested in this, they don't care about their privacy. For a good example of just that go take a look at facebook. No need for anyone to worry about protecting those who do not care to be protected.
Police protection is a joke. They investigate after, not protect you. The police are 30 minutes away, my own protection is much closer.
Windows Registry? I can't find one of those on any of my machines. Install browser in chroot, copy to another location. Then copy before version over after version.
Joe Sixpack is not in a position to be knowledgeable about anything, no need to worry about it.
1. Why would you pay with any other method? 2. Who uses coupons? Why would I waste an hour of my life to save 50 cents off something I don't want? 3. I buy alcohol in self checkout all the time. 4. You must suck at scanning items. I would set the limit at a couple bags full.
Apparently you don't know how to intercept traffic. Go look up arp spoofing. Not as good for many reasons as a switch that will do port spanning but it would be fine for just monitoring a desktop from another one for a few minutes.
Other than the fact that you can install out of market apps, get access to source, buy a phone not crippled in that way, so yeah exactly unlike an iphone.
I was surprised when NVIDIA picked one model to replace all of the laptops, and I was shocked to find that that model was the cheapest laptop that Best Buy sells.
You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you? Of course they are giving you the absolute cheapest thing they can get away with. Only if a judge says otherwise will they offer anything better.
Modern politics has been dangerously aligned to the idea that meritocracy is a moral ideal, suggesting something about the inherent worth of different human lives rather than merely noting one possible outcome of a market system.
Only because some fools think we live in a meritocracy, we do not. Much of this mess is the direct result of the laughable naive concepts the protestant work ethic puts forward. These beliefs are promoted because they are good for the ruling class.
No, you tried to make it that for some reason. The discussion was about moral implications in a meritocracy. Meritocracy is a system based on merits not necessarily earned ones.
Another might be to stop considering that society can reasonably be based on people getting what they've earnt.
My fiction does not cost millions, nor is it as boring as a wedding.
Who supports taking from most and giving to the already wealthy?
I have no problem with helping the poor, I have a problem with using money that could help the poor to keep some jerks in castles and caviar until the end of time.
No one made such a claim. You sure love propping up straw-men and knocking them down.
The only argument made was merits attained through non-earned means are still compatible with a meritocracy. All meritocracies that will ever exist will have to deal with that, if any ever exist. The issue is selection of merits not how there were attained.
Then the problem is what was considered a merit, not how they came to be. Considering how many had the various conditions that occur due to inbreeding they did not even have the merit of good breeding. If one was breeding dogs and got those results one would put them down or at least stop breeding that line.
If my parents selected a mate based on mental abilities and thus I have high mental abilities should I have to be drugged so that I cannot exceed the mental abilities of the average?
I never suggested such a thing. In the Feudal system the ruling class had no merits bred or otherwise making them fit to run the show. Unless hemophilia is a merit.

Some reason she took those social security checks and let Medicare pay her doctors bills.

The average joe is not going to even use the menu option. This is slashdot, stop worrying about the average idiot.
Hard links do not work across paritions/drives symlinks are what you want.

Flashblock. Why it is not the default I will never understand.
Seems like it is deletable, hard to find maybe but you can always delete your whole browser profile.

Buy a better switch or use arp spoofing.
Please tell me you do not work in this field.

How is it broken on Droid?
I am running 7.0.2 and it seems fine.
similar in kind OR value.
To a 3-4 year old laptop. Meaning they will give you what a laptop that old is worth, as we can see not very much.

What would they do if you just went to small claims court?
For $2500 that seems like a reasonable place to seek relief.
The system is working exactly as it should. You are mistaken in what way the system is designed to work.
The people profiting are the ones in control of the system and implementing it. If you think this was not their intention you are very naive.
No, you tried to make it that for some reason. The discussion was about moral implications in a meritocracy. Meritocracy is a system based on merits not necessarily earned ones.

Anyone who believes that is terribly naive.

Because people are idiots. I did not watch the worlds wealthiest welfare recipients get married. I find it odd anyone cares at all.
