I'm willing to bet, based on the logical inconsistencies of your post, that you are infringing on copyright by downloading movies, music, and other entertainment from various internet sources.
I would like to thank you. I'm a huge fan of people who happily, loudly display their ignorance so I know to discount them immediately. You did a great job, friend.
I had a reasoned response typed up, but you'll be better served by this one:
Don't be such a pussy, and please don't teach any children you may have to be such pussies. It makes them into sheltered shitheads who can't handle the real world. People aren't always what you want them to be, and you can't legislate them into it, not matter how logical that feels to you. The best thing to do is create a system where everyone learns how to handle themselves and protect each other. You're answer is to run away to someone in charge, and that just exacerbates the problem.
You may disdain childhood violence, but children aren't capable of being reasonable, and violence in kind earns respect. Your solution would work in an ideal world. Mine works in the real one.

Believing in a rigid class structure is simply an incorrect mindset that feeds itself the poison you've spewed in your comment. It would certainly help to achieve your aims, because a leftist society requires a rigid class structure to keep the workers in line, but what you're talking about is wishful thinking, not a valid observation.
These elite shape our culture over decades to make it suit them. They are capital. We are labor. Our interests are for the most part, directly opposed.
This is only in a society where there is enforced stratification, which isn't the case at all. Anyone, with proper application of willpower, can bring themselves into the level of the so-called elite. No one has a magic barrier preventing this. Only people who refuse to raise themselves up are stuck.
And anyway, if you thinks American culture is driven by a so-called elite you obviously haven't noticed any popular entertainment over the last fifteen years.
I'll agree with that, so long as the employees can be held to a much higher standard than is common. Not to get all spiderman on you, but if you want to invest great power, that comes along only with great responsibility.
No, they fought for the right to form unions so they wouldn't have to working physically backbreaking jobs 14 hours a day seven days a week for a pittance. Nobody died to get the right to slack off in front of the bossman, in lieu of performing their cushy duties.
Lean and mean went the way of software doing more and looking better (or at least being more colorful and visually active).
You are certainly free to only run old software if that's what pleases you - just don't bitch about it sucking. You'll certainly be tempted to bitch, because things are much better now, whether you see that now or not.
Perhaps someone who isn't still drunk from last night can better explain where I'm coming from?:)
See, it's your brand of wannabe cool that is so endearing about this site. You should have inserted an extraneous reference to your girlfriend, too - that would have ensured the love and admiration of your fellow palm fuckers.
Yeah, why would they be upset that you break their copyright? I just can't figure it out. They should be greatful that you watch the shows without the commercials. You're a customer!
I wanted to make fun of you for being thirteen, but then I realized that the night your mother and father clasped in a drunken embrace wasn't really under your control. But buck up, soon your voice will stop cracking, the goofy hair will all come in, and you'll have the penis of a man!
I stopped listening to him sometime around the GNU/Linux debacle. He doesn't really provide much value to anyone who doesn't want to be hard left.
Don't get me wrong, the man did some great things in bringing forth the Free Software movement, but now it seems like his goal is to destroy everything that doesn't fit his ideals, and that's just as dangerous as what he opposes.
Seeing as how you hold such a strong position, I would hope you don't use any electricity. It would be disappointing to find out you don't have the courage of your convictions.
His point that fast vehicles on loose courses make for boring races is pretty much on the money (although that's subjective), as is the correlation of popularity to economic viability. I know you don't like either one of those, but I humbly submit you aren't looking at it objectively.
Personally, I don't care either way. I watch American football, and little else, and the popularity and viability aren't in question there. The excitement may be, but that's personal taste, again.
The only software with a finalized design is software no one uses..NET is a platform, and there are a tremendous number of languages that target it.
If you think your career is being killed by your projects, then you had better damn well get better at what you do so you can start dictating how some of those projects go. Someone who just swims with the stream never makes it anywhere they aren't carried.

I wonder where Mac people get the idea that normal computer users care?
Don't misunderstand - I use a Mac myself, but most people don't care at all.

It's not about the IDE. It's more like "We gave you libc, what more do you want?"
I'm sorry, are you seriously trying to say that Stallman isn't a leftist? Have you ever read or heard a word from the man?
I see it more like a commons, which everyone must support, and from which no one may profit.
Good luck forcing me to be a socialist.

I don't know anyone who uses a mouse for hours steady without moving their hand somewhere else.
Aside from that, yeah, I agree with the AC who also replied - if you're in any kind of decent shape, constant resting positions aren't necessary.

Pssst. Your ignorance is hanging out. Tuck that back in, man.

His points are fairly valid - and the fact that you have unusual taste doesn't make you the entertainment master.
A few points:
.NET is a platform, and there are a tremendous number of languages that target it.
The only software with a finalized design is software no one uses.
If you think your career is being killed by your projects, then you had better damn well get better at what you do so you can start dictating how some of those projects go. Someone who just swims with the stream never makes it anywhere they aren't carried.
It's actually based on hat size, to facilitate understanding how people get their head up there.
