I like how there is a subtle implication of Chinas involvement because they may have made them.
What... people really yearn for the good ole days of the Cold war or something?
That and our doublestandard that we have come to enjoy... China sucks, they take all our jobs, all our money, and are growing at a crazy pace, so they are evil.
But lets buy from them anyways... what?
The AC post is a half hearted attempt at humor mixed with reality.
Of course the USA does not Annex any land, that would start wars. Instead we develop an agreement or pay for the land from the host Country.
As for avoiding isolationism, yes. You see, in the history of the USA, we tried isolationism back in the 1920s and half of the 1930s, and while the world was fighting around us, we stayed silent, except for businesses making money off of the wars.
There is a logical reason for why we decided to be pro-active, instead of re-active in the worlds dealings. High School should reveal this, or College if your HS was terrible at teaching.
Of course Ron Paul would rather the USA be full of ignorant people so they can be better abused by the political and economic systems.
Yeah, added on top of that casual that they tried to limit the runs to 24 hours+, it made it terrible.
Hell, MC was fun even though I was geared out because of the 40 people I hung out with. Now its 5, 10, 15... little groups of friends. What is the point of big guilds now?
Yup... that is why they are developing a new MMO as well.
It will be interesting to see what they come up with, but anything grinding endlessly without a point will not do well.
DAoC did well until Mythic screwed it up, because the end game was a constant challenge
Same with Planetside and soon, Planetside 2.
Now I will admit, it is fun to gain new armor, and weapons, and such... but when it is the same thing over and over again like Blizzard made WoW, then it gets old.
Zzzz..... WoW bores me to no end these days. A new expansion will not help.
PvP is gear based, which requires grinding, Dungeons are gear based which requires grinding, crafting requires grinding....
True, but when you know history, and it starts to repeat itself, you tend to see a trend. Does it exist or not? We can answer that after it repeats itself or not at all by preventing it.
Might as well, the USA is already brain draining like the Titanic.
If you think private industry will pick up where these institutions left off, you are dead wrong.
Private industry typically come from public institutions, and there are plenty of examples to support this.
You remind me of an old guy trying to be a smartass about something, thinking they are proving a point at the same time.
All I can do is shake my head slowly, roll my eyes, and walk away dramatically.

90s? It is still happening....
If Norton software gets corrupted, your computer gets possessed. It is like a Norton Ghost of some sort.

I was actually talking about the second AC, not the first.
I have no idea if Ron Paul is isolationist, but it should be widely known and educated that isolationism is a bad thing for many reasons.

The answer lay within our history. Learn it, know it, live it, love it.
If it is heavier than air, it aint floatin no-where.

They screwed up big IMO...

Same crap, different day.
That is as interesting as the 32 mile battery life and the 20mpg gas engine for 95K/per car
based on hybrid car standards, this is pretty darn terrible.
I think, perhaps, you are using the wrong metrics to measure success.
True, but when you know history, and it starts to repeat itself, you tend to see a trend. Does it exist or not? We can answer that after it repeats itself or not at all by preventing it.
One step closer to police state IMO.
I hope our freedom was worth it.

I like the irony that he says its cheap and then requires a PHD to operate.
I knew it... she is hot!!!
As long as she isnt a terrible actress, I call shenanigans on not hiring her. But then again many actresses are over 40.
Although the logistical problems ran through my mind on how one can implement this real world, it is still freakin cool!
From other sources, (last nights local news I believe), she is of Asian heritage and lives in Texas.... so maybe.
Do grammatical errors count?
If anything this will be a case study for them to artificially create shortages, much like what the drug manufacturers are doing now.
I was actually envisioning the Sci-Fi stuff where soldiers have camera type devices on their shoulders, on top of their armor.
You know what is the potential cooler part of this? Successful implementation for the blind.
It is a PoC, Proof of Concept.
It seems MS stumbled on the next gen tech with their Kinect device and freelance modding to show what it is capable of.
It also shows that innovation is still out there, but who has benefited from this? Corporations or the modders?
It is, the Blackberry outage is a proof of concept as it were.
Much like guns... Blackberries dont kill people, idiots who text while driving do.
Plus it seems like a cheap, easy way for them to say "Hey, look.... we pay attention to stuff".
Im not buying what they are selling.
