The only difference between the US and North Korea, is that the world still believes in the US.
Every time I see a conservative say/write something more stupid than I ever thought possible, within a week I invariably see a left-wing fool like you write something so completely fucking moronic that I keep voting conservative.
People change their behavior when tax rates rise (by spending less, therefore driving the economy into a recession meaning less total tax revenue and more gov't spending on unemployment insurance, welfare, etc which then ratchets up the debt) and fall (by spending more, therefore boosting the economy therefore increasing total tax revenue and reducing unemployment insurance, welfare, etc which then shrinks the debt).
The big intellectual failure of "progressivism" is not realizing this truth of human nature.
What is needed is
a mathematic model which recognizes this dynamicism and determines the minimum tax rate which maximizes total tax revenue, and for
leftists to stop thinking that wealth is a bad thing.
it's like a bunch of plastic particulates floating about 1/8th of an inch thick.
If Greenpeace wanted to increase their image with more than just the far-Left wingnuts, they'd get an old (large) (suitably modified) fishing trawler and start skimming the away the plastic. "See, we're actually *doing* something constructive instead of just whining and complaining."
Very low emissions, sustainable, baseload power. No messy radioactivity to deal. Just expensive to find.
You forgot to mention that pumping water into hot rock causes the water to acidify -- thus corroding the equipment -- and the rock to fracture and thus causing frequent earthquakes.

Cox has a cap? Since when? (I recently d/l'ed much more than 200GB in a month and they didn't slow me down or charge me extra.)

Don't they store anonymous other users' data in encrypted format on your hard drive?
Big Business (usually owned by some PLA General or another) is deeply in bed with the PRC. Much deeper even than, for example, ATT when it willingly acquiesced to the NSA's request to tap into overseas fiber.
most of the supposed "crisis" incidents recently were deliberately engineered so that one political group or another could scream
Or just about every famine or disaster in Africa and the Middle East in the past 50 years, where food is carted off by either the government or the rebels to feed their armies and starve the civilians they are opposed to.

As long as we're not shooting them, anything we can do diplomatically to soften them up is a good thing.
Do you really, *actually* believe that 20 years of diplomacy has softened them up at *all*?
Not having them in the UN means they have no choice but to continue to treat the entire world as their enemy.
Haven't you been paying attention for the past 2 decades?
They don't want talks w/ the UN. They want bi-lateral talks w/ the US.
Letting them have participation in democratic institutions will maybe open their eyes to their own hypocrisy, a little bit every day.
Bwah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
But they only destroyed two Japanese cities with them! I think they still deserve to be in the UN.
Gotta love that moral equivalence...
Because the economy is dynamic, not static.

Pumping water into hot rock does not acidify it.
Why wouldn't hot water dissolve minerals from the rocks?

EGS techniques such as ... acidization
not a bug because the increased frequency of tremors means less magnitude.
Basel sits on top of a large (200-km long) "locked" fault that had previously ruptured and leveled the city in the 14th century.
Except when one of them cracks your roof tiles.

It's not normal to pay expensive services and that in more than a decade no upgrade has been done to their infrastructures
Are there really non-dialup ISPs that are as slow in 2011 as they were in 2001? Cox cable sure is faster than it was 10 years ago...

How will they?
If you build all the components, assemble the computers and build the data centers, it's easy enough to build in side-channels and back doors.
I'm guessing this is more about the use of cryptography
Great in theory, but not so useful in the real world of non-geeks, where pass phrases are pathetically weak.
... unless you have secrets we really, really want.
Because, Mr. Gerrie, believe it or not, you don't need to regulate every last detail of the domain arguably under your control.
Sure he does. It's a biological need to meddle in other people's lives that's just as great as that of the conservative who makes buggery illegal.
It's in a lot of companies' interest that LibreOffice continue to succeed.
Which ones? (This is an honest question from a 10-year Linux desktop user.)

Then we fart our way towards a methane-based disaster...
Mismanagement and desire for control is the problem..
And what economic model will miraculously change deeply-ingrained human attitudes?

Having been to College and seen it in the the course book, it was sarcasm.

Ummm, check your history a bit better.

Eh????
Maybe you should buy a copy of The Code Book for someone in IT?
As if that would work in a large, geographically distributed company when I'm nowhere near corporate HQ.
Why not just stick 20 'F's in front of all of your passwords?
The password system for the company-wide intranet where I work doesn't allow more than 2 repeating characters.
The list of rules is absurd and basically guarantees Post It notes.
