I used to think that also applied to Slashdot. But no, I've learned a lot both directly and indirectly over the many years (ten years, wow). Even if most of it is crap, the debates and discussions are still quality entries worth keeping.
Let's say I invest in solar or wind energy. Which will provide the greatest ROI? Selling the energy directly, or have it run servers to sell off extra CPU cycles?
They remember to breath on faith. All joking aside, when one party disenfranchises a group of potential voters, the other party will snatch them up for the votes. They are, above and beyond all else, a resource come election time. I'm not saying that viewing it through that lens is moral/ethical, but rather that's just how politics work.
The Republican party lost it's spine a long time ago and have splintered into many factions. Effectively, the party was dead even before the 2000 elections and since then has been without leadership.
The Democratic party however, has been very unified but has been rotting from the core since the days of JFK. Now, it too is crumbling apart with rampant thuggery and corruption.
I think we all know how the November elections will turn out. However, there is no way in hell we can foresee who the next president will be. Our political system as we know it, is fucked. I reckon this is a good thing. Perhaps now we can get people more involved with how politics happen in DC and start voting based on someones voting record, and not based purely on party. At least, I hope so.
It would seem to me that the argument is based on whether or not the wheel should have to be re-invented for each programming project. If the code is good, why not reuse it as a module?
Then teachers are doing it wrong. It's their *job* to provide students the passion to learn. It's also the role of the parents as well. No amount of money can solve this because it's a social problem, not a financial one.
Logitech makes the Bluetooth Mouse M555b model. After breaking my Mac Might Mouse into three pieces out of frustration, I purchased the M555b. So far, I haven't experienced any cursor lag our connectivity dropout. I'm very pleased with Logitech.
Let me point out that in order to "adapt" you have to change, not keep doing the same damn thing and hoping it'll all get better, somehow.
Of course. However, we "adapt" because our environment makes us. Again, it always has, and will always do so. We've evolved to deal with global change. It's not an easy thing, and people die in the process. But by and large, our species is very good at adapting to whatever change comes our way.
I think the reason AGW is so popular is because people want to feel like they're in control. The idea being that if we cause GW, we can stop it. But what if GW is natural in whole or in part? That's a very scary concept because it means....we can't do diddly-squat to stop it.
And your take from all this is that Obama will somehow parlay a healthcare change to CONSOLIDATE power over the USA?
Because only a total moron would expect that a bad health care bill would increase the Democrats power.
DUH!, the Democrat party thrives on a nation of dependents. Why? Because historically those that depend so much on the Federal Gov will vote for Democrats. It's a positive feedback loop.
And I'll add "By bureaucrats who don't know what the hell their doing, or plan on getting kick-backs in return for passing it"
Obama expects - no - plans to fall on the sword for this bill. He will sacrifice democracy and his party just to solidify power for the Federal Gov. Once they control health care, they also control all aspects of our lives that would cost the tax payer extra.
National Health Care = forfeiting of personal freedoms such as what you can eat, drink, smoke, and other physical or mental activities you enjoy doing.
The world changed, has always changed, and will continue to change. Be it by our hand, or natures. One would argue it's one in the same. So would argue that extra CO2 and heat will *increase* vegetation and improve bio diversity that goes along with it. Meanwhile, Humans continue to become the most adaptable mammal on the planet. This did not happen over night.
Sit back, take a chill-pill, and relax. Oh, and burn some oil. Life thrives on carbon and CO2, for you are the LIFE GIVER!
with the US government being the largest shareholder in GM, I would bet that life for Toyota is going to get really bad.
Toyota screwed up big time, for sure. But make no mistake about it. These hearings on Toyota were aimed at one thing and one thing only. To make them look bad so our Federal Gov can continue to capture the UAW votes by bolstering GM sales.
The people of N. Korea are so fucked. I feel sorry for them. One day reality will come crashing down on them like Thor's hammer and either cause mass suicide, violence, or both.

Hey asshole, maybe you want to look at the top most charitable countries around the world. Care to guess which country ranks #1?

And yet, one of the *worst* US presidents of all time. Even today he won't STFU with regards to international affairs.
I don't see many idiots holding degrees in engineering.
There's always a rule to the exception. Always.
Or you could just flush it. Think of all the turns and strange directions it will be reporting back. Just like the marketing dept...
Because they're a techno-masochist.

There is something seriously wrong in America if we have to regress from the toilet to using shit bags. WTF is wrong with you people!

I have a question, and this applies to everyone in Congress regardless of party. What principles do you speak up that aren't self-serving?
Not surprised.

I forsee mass murder in your future... under the right circumstances

Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!! Ahhhhhhhh, SAVE US! Ahhhhh, Humans are so EVIL. AHHHHHHhhhhh.....
Happy now?

On that same token, I can also thank them for the increased cost of a vehicle to cover for those expenditures.
