    you're an idiot.

  2. Re:but antibiotics haven't on Soil Bacteria Show High Resistance to Antibiotics · · Score: 1

    Antibiotics can be "natural", semi-synthetic or synthetic...it all depends. Like other drugs, some antiobiotics are metabolized into other substances before leaving the body and some are excreted intact. When penicillin was scarce they would collect urine from the patients and extract the penicillin and use it again.

    True, but that subject is not controversial. Fascists may say it's controversial, but I have a hard time believing that even they really think the constitution grants presidents unlimited power.

    Once again Cringely is repeating common knowledge and pretending that it's insightful.

    I had this realization years ago working at a startup and when I asked my co-workers about it they pretty much said I was naive and "not getting it." However, when I asked the CEO about it he acknowledged that it was a "pyramid scheme"...not that there was anything wrong with that to him.

  9. c. rice is a token on Spam is Dead · · Score: 1

    Except her policies aren't carried out very well. National Security advisor? How 'bout advising the president that Iraq wasn't a threat? She blew that one... or maybe she was in on the whole lie, in that case her "political science" acumen should have tipped her off to what a BAD IDEA invading Iraq was. So she whored her way into the big time...big deal. We'll see how well the state department does reconstructing Iraq now that they've been given the job since defense botched it. This(the iraq occupation) is the real deal: ass kissing doesn't matter, being a right wing black woman doesn't matter. She's playing with the big boys now...they're going to bomb the hell out of her little school painting and power plant projects and her PhD won't mean shit.

    You don't get spam...that's great, but it has nothing to do with your own actions besides that you didn't do anything particularly stupid.

    "Interest in any amount acts in transferring wealth from the assetless section of the population" (Choudhury and Malik, 1992: 51)

      "Interest, by making capital a quasi-monopoly, effectually prevents the establishment of a true competitive system" (Birnie 1958: 1)

    "Usury is what marks the distinction between money being simply a socially contracted abstract mechanism to lubricate between supply and demand, and money as an end in itself. As an end in itself, as a social commodity legitimised through usury to tax other economic activity, the honest process of living by the sweat of one's brow is short-circuited. The true dignity and full reward of ordinary labour is compromised. Money thus becomes self-perpetuating power in itself rather than just a mediating agent of power. And it is the relentlessness of compound interest in the face of adversity that sets the potential cruelty of usury apart from equity-based return on investment." (Visser and Mcintosh, 1998: 1)

  14. Re:I thought... on Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million · · Score: 1

    Call it skills, call it self-realization, you're working for a business so you ARE here for "the capitalism." Which is fine, that's why most of us are here, but in the interest of your "self-realization" you should probably not lie to yourself about the importance of money. Playing golf requires money, and whatever other activities you do require money as well. Without American capitalism your self-realization would be impossible.

    If you think that the authorities needed a new or good reason to invade the net the you need to brush up on your american history. Specifically Harry Truman's creation of the NSA and the related creation events of the national security state.

    Yes but 'blog means "web log" which refers to logging things that happen. If things happen then they would be easy to write about. This guy was abusing the concept of a blog in that he was trying to write when there was nothing to write about.
