wealth makes people unhappy? i'd argue the problem is that so many people don't know how good they've got it, and THINK they know what unhappiness is. capitalism is the best way there is to get the wealth out there for more people, after all everyone has the opportunity to create their own wealth under a captialist society. it's only when you add things like copyright,patents and an out of control court system that lets the big guys bankrupt the little guys who can't afford high priced lawyers that you get problems. none of these things are anything to do with capitalism, they are infact peoples attempts to subvert it.
what we need is less interference in the free market, less protection of large companies and less incentive for people to try litigate the competition away.
capitalism results in an improved standard of living, this has been repeated all over the world over the last 50 years. sure it's not a perfect system but it's the best we have for now.
And the argumenets against socialsm aren't about not sharing, they are about others not pulling thier own weight in society. after all why should i work hard only to have the benefits of that hardwork given to someone who works less?
let me tell you a little story about regulation. once there was a company that was looking at giving it's employee's an extra perk, it was worth quiet a bit to the employee's in return for an extra hours work per day. And then in comes the guberment, stamping it's feet and stating in no uncertain terms that is wasn't allowed, and no you can't run your own business or work on your own terms, because it's regulated.
i can't say too much more because i was actually involved, but i can assure you that getting the government to regulate every facet of business is NOT a good answer.
there was an article in the australian about all our fears being true - the dumber kiwi's are immigrating to australia. it might not be scientific but i think i work with most of them.
This is what happens when you have techies trying to implement a business plan. they fail to understand the key drivers and get lost in the technical considerations. producing a $100 laptop in itself it's actually a meaningful goal, attempting to educate the poor is the goal, thats what they lost sigh of.
what a load of bullcrap, the couple of lines google shows falls under fair use, and certainly doesn't stop anyone visiting the site. Does rupert plan on hiding the front page of his newspapers, because people might read the first paragraph on the first page and decide not to buy the newspaper?!
Your kind of right, Rupert does see the billions google makes and thinks it somehow should be his. The disconnect for these guys is they don't actually understand the concept of choice, because they run their business with an iron fist. customers however are not employee's, so the iron fisted approach isn't going to work.
really if paper publishers had any sense they would see google as a chance to reduce costs and increase readership and advertising sales.
if you had the keys in the ignition and you were drunk, then your a dumbass and deserve to be caught.
name one instance where a sobriety test was taken as evidence over a blood test. I think your going off in imaginary tangents which haven't actually happened.
I hate to break it to you, but if you blow into the bag multiple times, then get taken back to the machine in the station and STILL blow above the limit, then your guilty as fuck. any process beyond the machine testing is just paper work and your attempts to come up with futile excuses.
and yes people that drink drive ARE SCUM, and should be harshly dealt with. if you'd ever known someone who has lost family or friends to some piece of shit DUI'er you'd understand how senseless and heart breaking it is that moron's still drink drive.
Make your objections in writing, email it to the manager demanding the change you believe to place production at risk with the risks clearly outlined in bullet points. if he then insists you proceed, make him send you the request in writing/email and print out a duplicate, keep it in a safe place and then make his change. This way he owns the failure, not you. paper trails exist for a reason, to cover arses, and arse covering is often a worthwhile exercise.
it seems the first response on here is to attack python - no wonder you can't solve anything, you spend so much time trying to deflect attention away from what are obvious failings.
as long as i'm cuffed beside some victoria secret models, i'm all for it.
STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS!!!!!

if by expire you mean explode, then you've just come up with the coolest idea ever.

if your from NZ it's obvious why your pro immigration - 1/2 your bloody country has immigrated to aussie!
why suggest such an obviously stupid idea?
the only thing that you got right is that religion is a business like any other.

this isn't a conviction, it's a twitter feed.

I demand compensate for your post being the first one i had to read. DEMAND it damnit!

I agree, but more so. i think they should get the kind of caneing they deal out in singapore. and televise it every sunday night, i know i'd tune in.
err no, the commandline blows BECAUSE they want you to use the gui, not the other way around. does your dogs tail wag your dog ?
i think your the one lacking any kind of perspective son.
They just hate whingy bitches that complain about no body using linux.
yep, and the other fail here is that a lot of production environments are 24/7. there is NOT a slow point, ever.

cpan on the other hand has only probably worked 50% of the time for me, with it frequently hitting an unresovlable problem with dependency's.
