while true in the usa we have vice presidents for managers for managers for managers. All to watch a mere 100 followers work.
People like to make fun of the unions and OSHA for the sometimes bizarre requirements, but in reality neither one has anything as complicated as middle management that corporations use.
Julian Assange can't be charged by swedish law until he is brought into the court room. Swedish law isn't english common law. you don't charge someone with a crime until after they are in front of the judge in sweden.
I suggest you learn a fact or two instead of repeating bullshit.
Also he is hiding at the Ecuadorian Embassy. he is staying there at his choice. this whole thing could have ended 390 days ago.
at least in football, when local sports are blacked out it is because they didn't sell out the stadium and want you to drive there to watch the game. Of course they blackout everything in a 80 mile circle of the stadium.
other than that I agree completely. current TV coverage sucks, is generally useless and is far harder to find good bits.
though I won't be greedy and can start small. let me have ala carte cable channels. then you will quickly see just how fast things change.
There is no "plan" only greed. once you have the power to do something letting go of that power is the hardest thing to do ever.
That is why George Washington is truly the only great president. After 8 years in office he stepped aside so someone else could take over. No term limit, no force other than his own will to do so.
Now a days we have to force such good behavior on politicians. Look at Spitzer and Wiener. They are the lowest scum of people to their wives, kids, friends. yet they are trying again to run for office. They are only the ones who got caught. There isn't a good politician working for the citizens of their districts to be found in the USA.
We have massive debt because we keep cutting taxes while increasing spending. The majority of the debt Obama put on the books is the iraq war, and a couple of tax cuts used to stimulate the ecomomy.
The problem is we cut taxes, and the economy still wasn't stimulated to grow, so we did it again and again.
Also GDP has no bearing on government spending. the GDP is to government spending as the dow jones index is to your personal wealth. The two only line up very very rarely.
I spent 5 days at sea recently. I was up from sunrise to sunset (almost 18 hours a day)everyday.
I felt more rested (5hours apart)while doing that than when I get 8 hours every night. Of course the first thing I did when I got back to shore was sleep for 10 hours, eat talk with people for an hour or so and then sleep for another 4 hours.
So maybe circadian rhythm isn't what it is cracked up to be.
Oh I am a normal early to rise early to bed type normally
What we need to do is remove the secret service from protecting the president. the position isn't worth it, he doesn't have any real influence. and if he is assassinated then nothing of value is lost to anyone but his family.

Windows 8 may have the same interface on all devices the problem windows RT is simpler
Windows RT is windows that can not run Windows Programs.
It was doomed to fail for that reason. Apple might be swapping parts of the UI back and forth across devices for consistency. But apple never said IOS was OS XI
That is the point. I have 15 years worth of books and movies for them to go by. And they only show me things by artists, studios I have already watched, listened or read. Okay maybe a new book comes out by a regular author that I don't know about. but the other 15 ads are the previous 15 books that I have already read and amazon knows that. I can't even give them the benefit of doubt and say it was a reprint, or new cover art but the exact same fucking books. That is what all this targeted advertising gets is even worse advertising. As it only shows what you have already seen.
The thing is all that data doesn't go to the people who need to know, and who can UNDERSTAND what it means. Advertisers are marketing people which means they are to stupid to understand what the information being collected means.
No but it is correct according to MSFT marketing dept. Hell pretty much any advertiser uses the same kind of math to show how effective their campaigns are.
We had a 15% increase in sales(but can't prove it was related to the marketing). Or sales of advertised goods went up 200%(from 5 to 15 units) . Pretty much anyone who ever failed statistics gets into marketing as a back up.
You are quite correct that all stores are collecting analytics on your movements
The problem is they have no clue as to what to do with them. Take amazon. They have a record of everything I have purchased from them for the last 15 years yet they still can't send me advertising that is relevant to my interests. Why?
if I buy something I generally don't need it again, exceptions are food and clothes. Clothes change styles so buying the same clothes 10 years later is worthless.
Styles, life, everything changes. Maybe I buy a something special for a significant other. we breakup 2 years later. why would i want that something special for the next significant other?
The worst thing is all this targeted advertising does is show me what I have already purchased, not what is new. Because advertisers don't know how to use analytics and are generally morons.
How can the people of the USA stand idly by while the NSA snoops through their personal files by the minute?
How can the people of the USA stand idly by while the TSA has the authority to search your car while your not there.(see Rochester NY about a month ago)
How can the people of the USA stand idly by while the Border Patrol are allowed to randomly inspect and any within 150 miles of the border at any time without a warrant?(again in NY)
All those things have been done in the USA in the last two years.
While I agree with most of your rant about the Lord of Rings, the part where Gollum frames Same for eating food happens. Sam and frodo split at that point. Sam finds the food a couple hundred feet below on that twisty stair passage and then chases after knowing that Gollum is up to no good.
Also for the Hobbit I think he was directed an pushed into stretching it into three films. I definitely would need two for proper special effects, but the third movie is supposed to more history as found in the Sillimarliion.
Because of chair force fighter jocks, our air services are divided into 4 separate competing groups for no other reason than they can't think any other combat theater is more important.
The air force has tried to retire the A-10 warthog for 35 years now. instead of having a proper ground support craft that can take all sorts of punishment(the A-10 can fly missing significant chunks of vital parts) they keep trying to put more and more advanced craft there, but none of them can take or dish out the punishment the A-10 can. The F-35 is supposed to replace it now it too will fail in that roll.
The air force only cares about speed, and flash. Sometimes slow and ugly is far more useful.
White middle aged male. I love a good indie flick that I have to watch in subtitles.
Take something simple and recent. the girl with a dragon tattoo. The original swedish movies are awesome. The james bond remake are a joke in comparison. Changing who is even the star.
I call it hollywoodifcation. when they take a good story and make it fit into hollywood story board.
As an american I watched in disgust as the brits did nothing for 25 minutes as one man hacked up another in the middle of the street while being recorded. In the end special police units with guns had to be called and they still used the same amount of overkill american police use.
Same company but disney does a lot with robotics, and other technolgies combining them in wayss you wouldn't think about. Their theme parks are a example of some really cool really practical advanced tech being used to it's limits.
the thing is most of it is hidden behind smoke, mirrors, and costumes so you never see it or hear it. They call it disney magic.

um no emergency alerts (including amber alert) override all DND setttings.
when mine went off my phones DND settings were on.

So what you are saying is that if you stop and pay more for higher quality you get higher quality regardless of brand name?
you forgot
Killer Whalenado. the dumb busty blond gets eaten first.
that will be one very large flip book, Think of the size of it's spine.

Um no you can't.
Having had ground meat from, many different animals there is a major taste difference between them.
A venison burger tastes different from a steak burger, which tastes different from regular ground chuck.
Have you ever had veal?
I love a good steak, or burger but I stopped eating veal when I saw how those calves were raised.

It takes a lot of skill to keep windows running for 20 years.
a 24 year old could have run slackware for the last 20 years.

Come on just set out some fake pot plants. Or maniquins looking like they are doing a drug deal.
