While i don't doubt there are people in the world that would deal with the devil to make a buck, this blanket attack on anyone who ever sold anything to the nazi's is just nonsense. and for fucks sake it was 60 years ago, they aren't the same people calling the shots, so it's bloody unfair to go tagging them with the mistakes of past generations. As with the GP's example of IBM, i'm sure if the IBM board could go back and not deal with the nazi's they would.
Are you suggesting one party should be responsible for another parties actions?
because that's what you are dangerously close to proposing. under your logic if you handed me a stick and i poked someones eye out with it, YOU would be responsible as well.
If you want to know what's wrong with the world it's people like you that see a problem then proceed to try ram through solutions that are more dangerous then the problem to begin with.
lastly i suggest you burn your collection of Al Gore and Micheal Moore video's and go out there in such of real facts.
he loses for it being just a little too long, i couldn't be fucked reading it all. a good troll needs only a paragraph or so to fuel the flames, this one was amature hour
you do realise everyone did business with the nazi's at some point right? the nazi's WERE a legitimate government afterall and just because they turned out to be evil bastards it doesn't mean anyone who sold them anything was helping them do that shit, so why don't you try applying logic to your arguments instead of this kind of worthless rubbish?
Unfortunately you have to have some actual talent to make it on your own, where with labels all you need to do is suck the right cock and you'll get plastered all over the tv and have a song written for you and have your voice digitally smoothed out.
no wonder peopel still sign with labels, your soul for some easy money.
why the fuck is this tagged suprising? apple released a shitty locked down phone and people hacked it. did you all think apple secretly liked you doing it or something? news flash - apple doesn't love you, won't give you hugs and kisses and will treat you exactly like MS would or any other large tech corp would.
the only suprise here is that apple didn't BRICK your iphones with the update.
WTF does chicken nuggets and your kid being a spoilt brat have to do with anything I said?
can you be more abstract? I think maybe there's a japanese conceptual artist out there that thinks your analogy is good, everyone else thinks it's dumb.
"Yeah, it's a shame the copies of RHEL5 I deployed earlier this year "
all you did was prove my point dumby. READ AGAIN - i said the only situation where OSS will work is when you pay developers to maintain it for you, which is what a RHEL support agreement is.
essentially DoD need to do a cost/benefit and make up their minds if paying dev's vs purchasing a product makes sense.
The fact is that most OSS projects are ill suited to the corperate and government environment.
OSS focuses on the latest and greatest features, government doesn't, they want tested and proven versions. OSS EOL's stuff long before it would be considered "tested" in something like a DoD environment.
I know the linux fanboys here will go batshit crazy over this, and i guess the truth stings.
the ONLY situation i can see OSS being any advantage to the DoD is if they hired the developers of an OSS project they are interested in to maintain a fork of the software for them.
why would there be social stigma with being left handed? it's been several 100 years since we gave up wiping our assholes with our left hand, so it's not a hygene factor.
i grew up with a few lefties as friends and they never received any flack for it, if anything it made them feel a bit special.
my bet is that they go insane before anything else. supressing the urge to sleep is very different to replacing sleep, in the same fashion that being constipated is not a replacment for taking a shit.
Good i hope they all go fucking broke and are forced onto the street giving headjobs for crack.
shameless, misleading and annoying ads have ruined the internet. Because make no mistake, it's those assholes that insist on popping shit all over my screen who are ruining it for themselfs. unobtrusive ads such as adsense show no sign of having these ad blocking problems, google pumps money into mozilla/firefox so they can't be too upset.
my only regret is not being able to give all the people responsible for beeping flashing flash ads a punch in the eye. oh well maybe i can do it when they serv me my drive through in the near future.
theft is when you take something that doesn't belong to you, not when you use something that's offered for free and refuse to donate (which is effectively what clicking on an ad is), and they certainly don't have the right to display anything on my computer. so they can whine all they want about adblock, myself and others like me will continue to block their trash, hell let's spread the word on how to spoof user-agent so they don't even get to block us.
honestly is all the bad press doing them any good? yes i agree people ripping and selling songs is wrong, no i don't think kids swaping songs is wrong. when i was younger i'd listen to a few songs off my mates collection and if i liked it i'd go hunting for that artists full collection for purchase.
i guess this really frightens no talent hacks, if people get to hear their trash before buying it, they'll fade away pretty quick.
Bullcrap, the resualt is NOT NIL, the findings show the particle beam is only marginally better then current xray treatment.
dickheads like you demanding the latest and greatest even though the gains are tiny is the reason for health care in the USA being the most expensive in the world.

Do you REALLY want to start a penis size contest when it comes to international crimes when compared to the USA???
The terrorist threat is very real in the context of oylmpic games, it's highly likely various organisations would love to attack it.

The chinese do that because they aren't stupid and know that's where terrorists will go/try use as a shield.

I was refering to the navy itself which does the purchasing. it's up to them to spend wisely (which they don't do, no debate from me there)

They have a budge like anyone else, and their purpose is very clear, to protect america's waters and interests abroad.
I suppose you probably think the government can't go broke because they can print more money to?

was the 50's in america THAT fucked up?
I think we all need to start sending jack flowers again, it will feed his paranoia and make him even more entertaining

I have a 70", 178cm JVC hdtv and it's far better then any projector i've seen.

People dieing of cancer don't tend to give a shit about long term affects since their immediate concern is you know... dieing of cancer.
do you have some point or are you just running your mouth?
