No, no, no!
He's just ridiculizing his argument. It doesn't have anything to do with what Hitler or the nazis did, nor does it appeal to people's strong rejection towards them!
(well, kinda)
If there's something worse than doing a Godwin it's wrongly calling something a Godwin.
Personally, I don't see the sense in expending even more money and effort to prolong the lives of a mass of people who are already a drain on the economy. I'm not suggesting mowing down the favelas with storm troopers, but there simply has to come a point where you take a good look at things and say "Does this make any sense at all?"
Well, the government works for the people, not for the economy. Controling the latter is suposed to be a way of improving people's life.
In other news, the United States has outlawed access to any TLD that does not correctly publish the true owner of the domain name. Russia and China are no longer accessable from the US on the Internet.
The.ar domain has no whois but it's because of the incompetence of the people managing it...
Yeap, most people don't install an OS, instead they use the OS that was preinstalled. As more OEMs provide Linux preinstalled PCs more people will use it. Of course at first it'll be those who are adventurous. But then when they see it can do just about as much as a Windows PC and won't crash other they know will be willing to give it a try too.
Here in Argentina (top of the piracy list, yay!) small stores offer computers preloaded with linux so their PCs are cheaper. Clients just pirate XP, but hopefully it'll be different over there.
To be precise, the Blackbird used an astro-inertial navigation system originally developed for the Skybolt missile. This used the position of the sun or other selected stars to refine the position estimates given by the inertial nav system. A related guidance system is used in the Trident II missile.
What I want to know is, given the wide use of USB flash drives and CDs/DVDs (all of which can be booted off), why motherboard manufacturers even bother with supporting ONE floppy drive. I haven't had a floppy drive in my machine for years now. Is the market for "people who want both the latest and greatest motherboard AND a floppy drive" that great? Are there operating systems in current use that will refuse to function without a floppy disk controller?
It probably doesn't save much money, and it's very useful, for example, for schools. You can buy a cheap floppy, don't worry if you give it to a friend or lose it. It is relatively fast and easy to use on any OS since windows (95?).
You realize, that they are doing exactly that. Except that they are often being blown up for the effort without the real ability to shoot back. Right? You knew that. RIGHT??
Oh, you didn't see it on CBSNBCABCCNNFOX so it must not be true.
Actually, I didn't see it on slashdot or the newspaper so it must not be true (I don't get any of those channels here). And what do you mean by "they can't shoot back"?
A rebuilding plan annouced to the people, updated monthly, with schedules and real, visual, attainable goals and accomplishments is the only way to achive victory in Iraq.
The . Only . Way .
This does not mean 'Handcuffing' the solders, it means giving them a fucking chance, cause right now they ain't got one.
How about putting them to do useful work? As in build houses, bridges, infrastructure, etc.?
Oh, that's rich coming from someone arguing against the evidence. Hope you enjoy your superstitions, you're welcome to them.
I'm not arguing against the evidence (I believe in evolution), I'm arguing against you saying evolution is the truth. I see evolution as a very elegant and reasonable theory (and the one which evidence points to), but I'm open to new stuff.
Why not pay a little more and build them in say Mexico, Brazil, or any number of countries that are not exactly at the bottom of the economic ladder but also not at the top. That way you would increase their technical level and economy as well?
Maybe "a little more" is "a LOT more". Are you seriously suggesting OLPC set up a chip factory in Brazil or Mexico?

Isn't private property an invention too? What is it that binds your objects with you?

Does this merit sepuku or should I just retire to the countryside?
Well, the blackbird used astral navigation.
HUH??
I don't know, the Kopete interface doesn't seem very kosher to me...
Wasn't there a commercial on American TV with this advice, a few decades ago?
