It's a great advantage to know the keyboard shortcuts, but it seems that every new version of every browser keeps removing more and more useful parts of the UI. Like in IE... why would you remove the entire menu bar by default-- ostensibly to increase available real estate-- then have a "favorites" toolbar with only one useful button on it as the only means to access your bookmarks?
As opposed to the Linux security model, which is "it's open-source, so if there were any exploits they'd be fixed already"?
I don't like IE 9, but it has great improvements in security, as did IE 8 before it.
While I'm not claiming that the math skills of American students in public schools are up to par, everyone has their own pet curriculum and yours is math. In California, for example, apparently they find it important to focus specifically on the contributions of homosexuals in their base curriculum instead of simply teaching about all the great contributors to the world without regard to their sexual orientation. I mean, I'm sure that they won't be including any homosexual dictators or other malefactors in their course, so the result will be inherently biased. Time that could have been spent teaching about truly great scientists, mathematicians, and engineers will be spent teaching about marginal contributors because of their romantic persuasions.
The straw man you're creating is the economic version of anarchy. Just as we can't expect to murder people without being punished, we can't get away with committing fraud in a free market.
No, we haven't. From my sources at the Institute of Freaked-out Rumor and Hyperbolic Pseudoscience, not only does McDonald's use kangaroo meat, but they also clear cut 1,000 acres of rain forest every day to raise the cattle they don't use for their food.
But I'd pay more willingly so long as I perceived that the ones above me who have had the money to avoid taxes were no longer quite so able to do so and were taxed more too.
Does it bother you that many, many people who are making less than you pay no taxes? And some of them don't even work, and are being PAID in the form of tax credits?
I bought further out and within my means, I then used equity to improve my home instead of buying another (a home not an investment to roll over in a year).
The average Slashdotter would call you an evil carbon-emitter for living outside the city instead of in a 300 sq ft apartment with rent as high as your mortgage.
Scholars, as in those performing an analysis of the text with respect to its social, rather than historical value. Not all scientists reading ancient texts are rabid atheist anthropologists looking for any evidence to tear down the world's belief systems.
There's a mammal that has a duck bill and lays eggs. There's also a single-celled animal that uses photosynthesis. And the United States, which if you believe the media is the most racist and intolerant nation in the world, has a black President. Anything's possible.
Nazi Germany was socialist. Among the NSDAP programs were a right to employment, abolishing of unearned income, nationalization of trusts, corporate profit-sharing, abolishing of land speculation, nationalized higher education, outlawing militias (and de facto the right to bear arms) and old-age welfare.
Well, unless your interest rate is very high, it doesn't affect this equation much. If you sell your house, the mortgage will be paid off with the proceeds and thus incur no further interest. The upside-down part is mainly the market value of the house compared to the PRINCIPAL you owe on the loan. Owe $150,000 on the loan for a house that's worth more than $150,000, and it is possible for you to sell without taking a loss.
This is what happens when you cripple your OWN markets by onerous and unfair regulations and subsidies to political allies-- not to mention letting China do what it pleased while most of the rest of the world reduced its pollution output under the Kyoto protocol and other regulations.
Please stop parroting Krugman. "Almost all economists" do NOT agree, because they would be ignoring the scientific data. "Poor" people don't have much money, so if they spend most of what they have it just keeps them poor. A small percentage of a rich person's wealth can buy many things. Rich people do save a lot of money-- and we all should be saving something!

I thought it was the THEATER that installed infrared LEDs in order to confuse CCDs and make video recordings useless.

You have a strangely binary view of society.

An appeal to popularity is not a logical argument.

You can have my Windows NT 3.51 when you pry it out of my cold, dead 486!
Why not move to Linux now? Expecting the gaming possibilities of the platform to improve when XP is EOL?
Everything? And to what other countries are you comparing? I'll let you into a secret: you only went to crappy chain restaurants.

McDonald's fries have been trans-fat free for three years.
I love when people say these things. It gives you an excuse for not forgiving anyone.

Trolled.
You forgot to write your own encryption algorithm. FAIL

Those were cuts for everyone, not just the rich. You wouldn't want to raise taxes on just the rich, would you? They would be paying an "unfair share".
Oil is a competitor (let's not say "enemy", OK?) due to the presence of electric cars.

Leftists often give to charities the Tides Foundation, which distributes those funds to MoveON.org and other political lobbyists. Eye, meet beam.
