there are already tonnes of restrictions on what's aired on TV and cable. it's freedom to speak not freedom to force millions to listen to your ad. and yes we do ban lots of stuff because a minority can't handle them.
it's like you've got no grip on what happens in the real world.
that's a very good point. before i visited the states i'd never seen an ad on tv for prescription drugs. i can't see how it helps anyone other then the drug company, and their well being doesn't trump the publics.
spend some time on the mailing list, you'll see why it's a marginalised project.
the funny thing is i really really wanted to like openbsd, i tried it on some production systems. lack of hardware support, problems with upgrading combined with the 6 month release cycle forcing you into the upgrade senario just made the whole thing too hard.
the reasons are very simple - chop off the snakes head, it grows a new one. the way american's seem to blinding side with one party or the other never fails to astonish me. republican or democrate, they are just different flavoured assholes but both taste like shit.
haha suck it up big guy you know i'm right. there's nothing preventing the Obama administration from simply dropping the action, they don't need to carry on jack shit.
and in the first line you refer to it as the bush administrations suit, but i'm not allowed to call it the Obama administrations suit now because Obama doesn't personally know about it?! what makes you think Bush was anymore involved?!
it's probably going to take a few generations before they are ready to stand on their own feet. it's also more complex then just iraq, because a lot of the destabilisation comes from their neighbours. but "enough" is definately not when it's convenient for you, i'd say the acid test will be once they have another election and can go 12 months without a bombing.
will it hurt their business though? the chinese can still access google.com at the end of the day, and they aren't even closing their offices. this all seems like some pointless politcal dick measuring contest.
the first step to that is cheap earth orbit, and the ability to move HEAVY objects into space. at present i think the cheapest price for getting something into orbit is $20,000/kg the the max payload is only a few tonnes
to successfully mine the moon, you will need to move many 1000's of tonnes of equipment. I know some people on here think mining is just matter of digging a hole in the ground, but extracting minerals is actually a highly involved process.
once you have the cost and pay issues solved, you'll need to have people live up there safely. remote control only will never cut it, at the very least you will require maintenance crews to live up there to maintain the robots. the biggest issue with this is protection from high energy space radiation.
Lets say do as people like you want, and just pull out of iraq tomorrow.
how long do you think it will be before the minority groups that saddam and his buddies tortured and murdered will be in the same situation. it's called a power vaccum, google that shit.
athens taxi drivers have them all beat. i got taken for a 60 euro ride when i was young and a little naive. admittedly i was sitting back taking in the sights not thinking, and suddenly i saw the meter flick over to 40 euro when i knew from the map i looked at it should have been 30 MAX.
when we arrived I had to pay, he had my bag with most of my money and my passport in the trunk, and would have simply driven off on me if i didn't fork out.
on the way the back it only cost 18 euro's because i told him no more then 20 up front, and made sure i had my bag this time.
no, it's called effiency. just because drivers don't get to sit around for 20 mins extra per day it doesn't equate to a pay rise. if we didn't constantly get more efficent in this manner inflation would spiral out of control as everything got more expensive everytime you got people to work smarter.
incorporate the company, float it on the stock exchange with a market cap of $1. sell i to some bum on the street for $1.5 and have him name you CIO,CFO and CEO. then when it all goes wrong your just an employee doing as you were told.
not only that but the government is looking at opening an enquiry into scientology's tax free status.
combine that with peter garrett getting sacked from the environmental portfolio for his pink batts failure, and if we can get Rudd to reign in his spending, we might have a 1/2 sane government and legal system in the works.
I don't know about you, but i'd certainly like to know my employer has looked into the mental health of the people i work with at a JET PROPULSION LAB.
sexual preferences shouldn't come into it though, unless they are concerned one of them is the goat.cx man, and they might smuggle out a rocket in their anus.
go live in a mud hut then if it'll make you happy (i suspect it wont).
society isn't miserable, it's the media telling us we are miserable that has people thinking it. just look at how every single event has to be a crisis or the worst ever of something. and then, a word from our sponsors who sell product X that is the cure for what ales you.
if you want to destress and be happy, go on a total media black out. it's amazing how much less pressure you feel and happier you are if you refuse to read the news or watch the news on TV.
omg so you run into a problem and instantly give up! omgz all we can do is walk and cry about how the nasty republicans out voted us!!!
holy fuck, talk about just throwing in the towel. get more liberals on the board, work on individuals that might turn into a swing vote if talked with away from the group.
inspite of what you seem to think here on slashcrap, groups of people are NEVER 100% polarised on any topic. every person will have a different view and who can be bargined with to get a mutually benefical outcome.

there's probably a few others i'm missing

gates vs jobs. gates would surely win by strangling jobs with his stupid turtle neck.
i hope your not a CEO of any company...

not to mention in terms of market share MS completely dominates with greater then 90%.
on what fucking way is apple bigger then MS???
I hate to break it to you, but this court action is by the democrates and your much loved Obama administration. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6273VW20100308
i'm not sure they have hard evidence of that. i'm pretty sure the gubberment looked long and hard into their life as a whole though.
