The parent is right. Technology and how it's implemented are mutually exclusive. Just because you dislike the manor in which the technology was implemented does not mean that this technology isn't impressive.
And that, Mr Closed Source, means that only a pedant like you would find this stuff impressive.
Why the personal attack? What does this story have to do with him?
No, you have it 100% backwards. It's the Democrats who run things into the ground. They are the ones who create dependents. Why? Because it's a power grab. They are also the ones who are racists, not Republicans. They are the ones who are also socialist fascists. Yet, they want to compare Republicans to Nazi's? If that's not a clear case of psychological projection, I don't know what is.
How's that hope and change working out for ya? It took a Carter to get a Reagan. Now it's going to take an Obama to get...a Conservative.
Yes! When the federal Gov forcibly redistributes wealth, we are ALL slaves to said Government. Technically, it's a form of soft tyranny. It's still tyranny none the less.
I know many "progressives" who are actually fine with this concept. Happiness in slavery indeed. But from where I stand, it's all an illusion that ends with misery and broken promises.
Obviously, your not a Conservative as you don't know what the hell your talking about. You spout a bunch of bilge/BS and people flock to lick up this vomit. Incredible!
We (Conservatives) teach based on the old manta of "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime". However, there are those who do not wish to be helped to help themselves. These type of people would rather suck of the titty of our tax dollars.
Why is it we constantly hear about poor people living in the city, but rarely if ever hear about the "trailer trash" living on the outskirts? Hmmm?
You're confusing individual liberty with social justice.
Well. If you put in that context, allow me to post a famous quote by Abraham Lincoln. I hope you find it as enlightening as I do.
"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny."
We've all learned about Ancient Egypt and how the pyramids were built for religious reasons. But what would have happened if they were never built? Would Egypt have been, and remained and economic power in those times without them? I'm an thoroughly convinced that the act of build these monuments provided drive and purpose. The whole project trickled down an entire local economy from farming, science, engineering, arts and culture. Granted, these things existed before hand, but there were vastly improved in the age of Old Kingdom.
Unlike the pork and frivolously random spending going now, the government would gotten much better results if they spent with defined purpose and goals laid out. But they haven't. JFK already proved that space exploration was the USA's version of building the pyramids. It too provided drive, purpose, and a trickle down economy.
I agree with what you said 100%. What QuoteMstr says doesn't bother me. What *does* bother me is that there are many people who share his misguided viewpoint. IE, his positive moderation. He is but a tiny representation of a much larger social issue at hand.
I've always envisioned NASA being the space version of the FAA. Except that's not what's happening here. NASA not only oversees the USA getting into space, but they're also in charge of making the vehicles, piloting, and booking flights/cargo into space. In its current form, how can NASA not be bureaucratic? The role of NASA needs to be changed to a more basic level to that of the FAA.
1) A person who holds to conservative principles or beliefs.
Correct.
2) A person who agrees with other people who call themselves Conservatives, without regard to their actions, statements, beliefs, or principles.
Wrong! Conservatives of all types constantly debate and fight among inner circles. You see it happening every day in politics, you just fail to be aware of it. Case in point, remember to Republican party "crack up" that's been going on lately? The party has no direction or leadership anymore.
3) A person who opposes anything that a non-Conservative (as defined by the first two definitions) says, does, or believes in.
Some things, not everything. It depends on who Conservatives compare their ideals too. This is to be expected with any ideology and not just conservatism.
No worse than a vehicle with a gyroscopic tendency? I seriously doubt that. I know the flywheel at the crank and all four wheels also exhibit this effect. But the idea of something storing enough energy to provide an extra 160HP on tap??!! I'd imagine it causing some serious gyroscopic forces.
OTHO, this is Porsche putting their own reputation on the line. We'll see...
I'm not sure about a horizontal top scheme, but one spinning on edge will definitely have an effect on handling as a driver turns around a chicane. I can see how this would end very badly on a wet track.
And why is this bad? It's a simple matter of "path of least resistance". Monaco offers 0% income tax. However, some nations stipulate proof of living there. So, Monaco pulls in revenue from their citizens taxes whom in turn charges their clients (foreigners) a fee of residency. It's a bloody brilliant ruse! In the end, both Monaco and their "clients" win.
As the ol saying goes...."Don't hate the player. Hate the game."
6 years at most. From 2006 - 2008 The Democrats had control of the House and tied for Senate. Though GWB did have veto bill rights. He had the option of using it then.
And yes, I'm pissed and GWB for the fact he was *not* a fiscal conservative in the slightest. But Democrat party really fucked things up this time. They OWN the responsibility of debt they bestowed upon us from 2008 - today.
And for all you morons out there, you CANNOT SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT!!! You're supposed to let shit crash-and-burn if needed. That's called a MARKET CORRECTION. But noooooooo, we can't have that happen now can we??!! Fucking morons. All of them.
It's worse than that. According to British intel (via news), female suicide bombers already have (reportedly by Al Qaeda) explosives in breast implants. No joke. It wont be long before men implant explosives too via surgical methods. And who cares if they will come down with infection. They will die for their "cause" anyways, so it's a moot point.
Until this religious shit is sorted out, I recommend we start profiling - within reason. That, or we just let planes explode in the air if and when that happens. I'm not saying it's right, but that might be the only option as there is nothing we can do about it aside from surrender to their theocratic fascists ways. And between you an I, that's never going to happen to me without a fight. I'm sure I'm not alone with this POV.
As a "Conservative", for once I wish our entire government (all three branches) was populated by Vulcans. I'm tired of the BS from both the religious fundamentalists and sudo communists.
Ya ya, I know. Never going to happen. We are sooo fucked!
Why would you think an update be be that large? We are only talking about an additional protocol and maybe some post processing of the video. Nothing fancy at all. In fact, the Sony BDP-S370 will also be getting an update and already has a similar XMB GUI that the PS3 uses. I'm not sure how much internal flash storage the BDP-S370 has, but the BDP-S570 has 1GB internal. Not much at all.
Shouldn't be an issue I think. The CPU and GPU specs have the same level of processing power. Only items removed after launch were the PS2 hardware emulation and a few I/O ports on newer units.

Only the ones that don't have a pair of balls. See what happens when you do steroids?
We are all in a global recession. As such, there are no "Glory Days" for anyone anywhere. I wouldn't count Silicon Valley out just yet.
My advice? Keep your current job if you can, and suck wind like the rest of us do.

Ya ya, I know. But there's often an element of truth and vision in jest.

Our banking system and the auto industry have proven that to be the case.

I think that's the point. Religious zealots would love nothing better than to return humanity back to the "old ways".
