that's funny. America on the other hand is about to officially change over to dictatorship.. screw this freedom business, everyone else is doing it now!
well said, well said - but asserting your rights in a system bent on breaking them adds you to the list of hard cases demanding harrassment... to stand up for freedom is one thing, to play dead to get the system to go away so you CAN be free is a whole nother story.
which america do you live in? The police here see the desire not to be searched as equal to guilt. I know from personal experience. Police are not law enforcement here, they are life collectors that recycle people for money like the homeless they arrest do with cans.

The internet is a spiritual network of the people connected to it. We interact earth's operations like interconnected players on everquest etc.... internet games are just becoming another avenue for people to ignore thier misery while they loose at the game that's beating THEM.

This is a great example of a falicy being used as a premise. Is software supposed to sustain jobs? Not any more! Programming is like the new digital landscaping. Everyone can do it, they just need to be willing to get a little dirty.
This is the same drum as the whole social security system. Quick! Everyone pay for needless crap so we can all have fake jobs! Come on! It'll be fun, we can raise kids in this false world and tell them they have to make it work!
Gotta agree here. I have friends that are in the military and I can definitely say the military wasn't bettered by thier presence.
All I can think of when I hear "army" is a line of borderline rapists waiting thier turn with the Thai twelve-year-olds.
Makes you wonder just how bad the world hates our military if we wouldn't trust many of them ourselves (like you said, especially the younger ones).
Whatever happened to "the service"... now its like "the serviced"
the fact is, computer use doesn't kill people - people kill people. It's not guns, its not computers, its irresponsibility. Sure, you are more likely to get in an accident if you use a computer in your front seat - but such is life. You could be shaving, talking on your phone, putting on makeup, etc - and be almost as likely to get in an accident.
When will the government realize that this country was not founded on micromanagement? Religious freedom was the flagship of the american charter so to speak - but why? Because it is a matter of opinion? No - religion is not relative; the reason is because religion is a matter of faith, which is relative to free will. Something can be obviously true, but people will CHOOSE not to believe it - so how could the government enforce something that is essentially unenforcable? People were burned at the stake for thier beliefs. How do you combat that? How do you regulate someone who would sooner die than be regulated? In light of said dilema, the government realized in a passing moment of clarity that it was futile to attempt to regulate free will in a way that was not easily justified across a public majority that could impose social ramifications for one's actions (think anti-smoking campaign).
The point of all of this, is that as with religion - at a certain point - people will snap and turn something that is not spiritual into a martyr situation. I know I'm close to snapping myself. IMHO -
The government is barking up the wrong tree with micromanagement laws. I shudder at the lack of laws this country has now that will be attempted in the future, because the trend seems to be to make a law for every thought and action, rather than to make an appeal to personal responsibility and making an allowance for free will.
Ever wonder why it took a village to raise a child?
Ever wonder when the government will realize it needs to be a village and not an ivory tower?
It is interesting how the basis of macro evolution rests on a big bang, and now a big hum... both are sounds... In conjunction with the "Theory of Everything" (aka the Strings Theory) it seems like evolution itself may be an attempt at filling what was never a missing link. Am I the only one who thinks that evolution is merely an explination for the unexplainable? The fact that the hum itself could have originated reality period... that there was no macro evolution needed, merely micro.
What everyone should really be thinking about is: Who hummed? everything else is documented history... people really need to remove thier blinders and acknoledge God for who he is and what role he played, and still plays. Science is the study of what God made, not the method needed to discredit him.
Interesting how all this research into the true meaning of the city's name always references historical ideals or intermittent weather.... im just left wondering....
Shouldn't Chicago be called something more currently relevant soon? I mean, the title is only as good as the understanding it sparks...
Actually... Chicago is called the windy city because of the politians, not the wind. It's a "hot air" sort of wind:)
But it is usually 'blustery' as well...
The whole problem with the economy is the inability of the human race to deal with the fact that they are being replaced with less able, yet specialized operators. If I can do a job with a "dumb script" vs. a "dumb ass," its a no brainer.
Some of us don't see loss prevention checking as a "job" its more like a "task"... and tasks are notorious for being made more efficient.
Oh and another thing - I could be wrong, but as far as I knew, most desktop managers are 3rd party. KDE, Gnome, etc etc are all seperate from the OS... AND the Xwindows package... Now I can understand the desire for alternatives and options - but to demote an X distro based on unrequired options not made effortlessly available to you... how shallow.
I'm gonna go return my car because it didn't have a DVD player installed when I got it, it just supports one.
i think the idea that quality is based on localized need vs. world wide acceptance is ultimately ignorant. root free X is definitely important, whether or not you choose to acknoledge it.

I wonder if there is truth to the reality that people can feel compelled to support thier corporate masters while employed... If you would normally use BSD/Linux - but are bound and gagged in the Win32 closet, why then stand up for it? I've worked for many companies. and the Unix staff has _always_ been at least a quarter the size of the Windows staff... even in companies using unix desktops across half the company! Why would the typical/. reader care if Win32 layoffs are due to.NET? Take that flag to the ZDNet/PCWorld pole.

one of the benefits of the corporate world is that actually his paper person the Microsoft Corporation is.
I don't like him either, but at least try for some accuracy.
