And? They work for the government. They obey what ever wish/wash comes out of congress.
Tell me what college will not accept any federal funds nor will it accept any student with federal funds attached?
What was the ruling on them not obeying Federal mandates (cumdates?).
They have very few rights when accepting Fed monies. What exists is a patchwork of fed laws and court rulings but in the end preserving security is the governments right regardless of how inebriated, insane and chemically altered it is.
I want to cut corporate taxes as it cuts my personal costs. When they get to big though I want to have something to shatter them cleanly. It's a hard choice. Lasse fair capitalism has caused a lot of pain but I think we need it but modified in a way that keeps these megacorps still born.
The case with GM? Let it die and use the money for 25 startups. One company for every 2 states. The innovation would be staggering. But no we get the pUnionistas who want to kill or enslave me because I choose what I firmly believe is the best product to spend my money on.
Capitalist flight is good for the POOR! Capitalist flight from California means other poor states and some countries will have jobs while California rots. We've seen several either move to other states or other countries. Capitalist flight from the US means more poor foreigners will have jobs while the US rots. Driving out businesses with confiscatory taxes is a good thing as it will teach US not to do that or we get to smell the rotting poorer. I suppose we can warehouse them again but I hope that the architecture won't be so vile.
I moved wholly to a Linux based operating system. Granted that has not been all sweetness and light with the current de-feature- it meme but it's been stable and I can watch movies mostly. No games though. I'd have to buy Win7 for games or actually go out somewhere and play a board or card game.
Get rid of ARE YOU INSANE!!! I'm running my file server on a 586 Pentium system with the F00F bug. It...has connectors taken off for other repairs. I don't need no stinking keyboard even to load an OS. The AMD64 will be the media server as the 586 does not stream movies well. The P90 stink pad is now a picture frame. It randomly displays pictures from the file server or if I push the porn button (the P key) it surfs the web and displays...things. The other stink pad with the CD and the P133 is used by a friends kid for dos games using dosbox and a stripped down redhat distribution. Seven power supplies are being used for testing, lighting, replacement wall warts, etc. Don't talk to me about get rid of. Sheesh. When they are utter crap, saw out a useful chip with that section of board, solder wires to it and use that. Saw up the rest for jewelry or lamps;)
I'd mandate that any manufacturer be forced to allow a device to be re-purposed and that they have to store every datasheet for 100yrs or fund a datasheet library. If it took excluding them from liability I'd be inclined to grant it.
When people who are frustrated at the trend to create de-featured pablum by Ubuntu/KDE/Gnome/Xorg etal complain and get mocked what reason would I have to help them? Right now the Fedora team has at least added some functionality back. I'm not sure they can add it all back if the trend at creating pablum for the masses continues and the features are not just ripped out but actively prevented from being added back in easily.
Kidnapping his secretary and removing apendages till they talked is not worthy of paying for. Sneaking in and looking at his calendar while he's taking a dump is not worth paying for. Blackmale...No. Social engineering..No. They actually had to be intelligent and hack.
A long and sorry line of various protesters who the supreme court let rot agree with you. It's well written words on a piece of paper. Until the supCt strikes down a law you can die from it.
Soylent green is good and tasty We made it fresh today We made it from your dead grandpa While you went out to play
Now don't you get all huff and hasty Soylent green's the natural way to save the planet and your future this is what we say
Snuff the old to feed the young Snuff the old they're a drain Snuff the old to feed the poor Snuff the old they're a pain They use up all the health-care They use up all the food They horde all of the money and it puts us in a bad mood.
Agreed. Without making a seperate circuit to handle lamp power similar to how a laptop backlight works I won't be able to use them. I have a couple inverters from laptops but I've not tried to use the on/off or dimmer circuits on them as I've not found datasheets and haven't had the time to analyze the circuit.
Neon works well when switched but I needed to flood a room with a lot of white light and then cycle it on/off.
Incandescents will die but it takes them longer. I've found the longest life to be to use very high quality lights intended for stage use and not turn them fully off and if possible not turn them fully on. I like neon but it would not have worked for what I was doing and CCFLs that can be dimmed are too slow. I looked for and saw some mention of CCFLs that can be switched on/off rapidly but don't see them being sold.
All I want them to contribute back is code. They are businesses, they employ people. I'm happy with that. I personally do contribute money to developers as I can for what I use. I have done some hideous code and contributed it when there was no one else to do it (no don't ask to see it you'll go blind). Using the software gives no right to demand compensation. At least in the US do have the right to troll, whine and mewl about it but it is demeaning.
I hooked an arduino and solid state relay up to a lamp and stuck a CCFL in it. I set in to cycle it was abou 1S on 1S off 50/50 duty cycle. I walked away to do something and when I came back the bulb had shattered. I now know there are CCFLs meant to be switched on and off for signs but don't know the cost or how much of switching they can take.
Incandescents won't do that as badly but you should still use DC and a PWM driven circuit to ramp up and down while leaving the filament with some current to keep it warm but not producing light.
So they broke basic functionality again with a wonderful file system that depends on user programs to jump through it's hoops. Wonderful they've joined KDE, Gnome, Xorg so damn many others that to Get Shit Done I can't bring FOSS into my company as even a server OS and maintaining it as a Desktop would be hell.
Hack their PC, pwn it and suck the fuckers dry. Keep doing it till they pay attention or get the fuck off the net.
Nice thing about my parents? They've never had credit cards and just got debit cards this year 2009 and my step dad actually used one to get money. Listening to them discuss him using his debit card the first time was a very strange experience. They are in their 60s now. I don't consider them idiots or stupid just culturally not connected to higher technology. This is IMHO a good thing as they will not use a computer to do any financial transaction.

This was settled a long time ago. It's government business on government property. You have the right to go work somewhere else.
Which would mean we need this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Sabotage

I'd wondered why Virtualbox dragged ass. I didn't look to see if it would do direct access but now I will.
So quit your whining already.

The fines were not enough to do cause M$ enough pain. 30 billion would have been enough.

Shit Sucking Crap. With the letters ROT(spiffy equation). It's a buzzword that means "Fucked up the ass"
This means you epicor (epic whore to the unlovers).
Its good enough to get first place.
