I used to think the same, but unless one can sell their backyard grown product to their neighbor (legally), then it's all just a rouse. Think about tobacco. I can grow it legally, at about the same difficulty level as pot. But I can't sell it to my neighbor. I don't even think I'm allowed to give it away. This has nothing to do with human rights or constitutional freedoms: it's because there's a lot of money to be made in taxing packs of cigarettes.
TL;DR: Selling or giving away your backyard pot will be made illegal through some perverse interpretation of "inter-state trade". Something about pollen (see: Monsanto) will be said. You heard it here first.
You forgot freicoin, which is IMHO the most interesting (and potentially VERY useful, very soon) cryptocurrency. Should be stable, encourages good investment and consumption. The point is, it's good to be able to create such ideas, and let smart people from all over the world get behind various ideas and develop them (code and architecture). I'll have to do more research on namecoin, thanks.
What functionality is WebODF (which ownCloud is using) is missing that Sharepoint has? I guess I don't really understand what Sharepoint feature you're referring to. (Sharepoint user at a job a while ago, but I wasn't a power user). Just an honest question, since I'm thinking about getting involved with the WebODF project
Yah, and also having choice sucks. I know and it's also bullshit that there was the option to compile from source or "apt-get install $package". I had to wait almost 30 seconds. When I went to use it, I had to set up a password!!!! Does Droppants ask you to set up an account too?? 'Cause if I can get around having this stupid password incovenience, then I'll drop ownCloud like a bad habit. However the linux bullshit is pretty convenient and I'll keep using that.
If you just forgot to use your sarc tags, that's cool bro. If you were being serious, then get a clue
Seriously though, is it possible (I can't be bothered to RTFA just now) that Canada is the only one in this group who actually thinks for itself? Or dares oppose the more outlandish US proposals? Profits trumping health sounds distinctly Uncanadian, for one thing.
Canada is certainly an outlier, FTFA. All the not-lawyers will have to read the actual negotiations for you. Who cares what sounds "Uncanadian", the point is there has to be countries holding sovereignty in the debate. Civilization will only benefit. Good or bad IP law will determine the next 100 years of innovation and development and social change.
Why hasn't anyone wondered out loud why the US doesn't have a bunch of bootlickers agreeing with every single one of their proposals? How have they lost their clout SOO quickly? Honestly wondering here.
What you said is all that ever needs to be said. He had better start talking about what he's going to different this time and all the negative lessons and feedback he received on SNMP or he can be sure to receive no interest from me. If there is a clear message of "we won't do (things,that,donot,work) because of the feedback on SNMP," then it might be interesting to watch.
Try accessing ar15.com or many other popular gun websites from sky, vodafone and other corporate shill companies.
Tell me, what economic motivation would a communications provider have for blocking gun sites? Answer: none. The economic motivation is provided by you, the tax-paying, defenceless UK slave. The image of the future is indeed a boot stamping on a human face forever. And many very stupid British have already learned to love it.
Mixing or laundry services aren't necessary. There is a cryptographic solution to this problem, zerocoins. Can someone please tell me how this doesn't solve the problem? It seems to me like the conundrum has already been resolved.
You don't need to put your coins into a laundry if you use zerocoins instead. End of problem. Whoever wrote this article (and everyone commenting) doesn't know how to do a little research. Total anonymity and pseudymity are possible.
Strongly disagree. I'm forced to use it on my workstation at work. Most of my company (devs and ops) know they would be better off if we could use linux on our workstations. But we're vendor locked-in as a company.
Get that fixed. We have 2 laptops, one with SSD and an acer with a 5400rpm disk. Cinnamon shouldn't be taking more that a couple seconds to have a fully loaded desktop from clicking "login", either way.
You have a very very short view of history and so I would liken your attention span to that of a teenage girl who's memory of history goes as far back as the last 5 minutes of tweets from famous people. I kid I kid, but I would ask, as a fellow European, that you do some more research
Off the top of my head, The English Civil war is a great example. I just went to Oliver Cromwell's house on the weekend and I learned more of how important weapons and especially guns in the hands of the middle class and upper middle class are for the creation of liberties and freedoms. It's sad that Europeans are more interested, generally speaking, in the preservation of thatched roofs and historical looking things, rather than the preservation of the ideas and principles and lessons of history. The freedoms and democracy of England, Scotland, Canada, France, the US and all other free countries sprouted only after the sprinkling of the blood of tyrants and martyrs, and much of it happened at the end of a gun. It is the source of Europe's democracy and freedom.
Please please when you make such poignant posts, can you next time mention, for historical reference: "The Education of David Stockman"... or just make a reference to how this happened once before. It's not about left or right or anything. The neocons got conned into this same lobby-spiral gimmick that the dems are going into now. The regular guys will always pay the bill.
I live in the UK. I don't have a TV and have never watched FOX news. Can you please tell me what our violent crime rate is per 100,000? And can you then please tell me what it is in the US? Thanks, I've made my point.
I don't care about the murder rate. I care about the violent crime rate. UK has over twice the rate of violent crime than the US. I live here. It's in the papers. It's horrible. Give me liberty or give me death but don't fucking take my defense tools away from me and leave me in a cesspool of violent crime.
Americans alone purchase 10-12 Billion rounds of ammo per year, not counting reloading (which is basically recycling a case) and most users I know re-use a case 3-6 times depending oh how it holds up. So a conservative estimate is 20 billion rounds are fired in the US per year. "More dangerous per use" my ass. You don't have an argument. You've been proven wrong so many times. Your arguments are typical illogical "oh guns are bad and all these liberty types want them" and then you throw yourself at the feet of your government and cling to its tyrannical feet begging to have the guns taken away from us. And before you say citation needed... prove my numbers wrong. I got them from good sources.
And while I'm on it, the point is that gun ownership is the tyrant's greatest living nightmare. The constitution never said Americans have the right to bear arms except if gang-bangers made guns statistically more "dangerous" than cars or alcohol. The 2nd amendment gives that right full stop and for good reason.
If that document says what you're telling me it says... it goes against all the latest information on temperatures. Either way, if NASA is able to observe current sunspot activity correctly (here's a hint... they have the technology) , then we will see pretty soon. I'm willing to wager that it will be proven that solar activity is what has actually driven all recent changes. Anthropomorphic causes are secondary, in fact completely minor and probably irrelevant.
Since you probably have access to that document or you wouldn't have been citing it... can you explain what "In the end, the greenhouse-gas-induced warming is largely overwhelming the other forcings, which are only of secondary importance on the 20-year timescale."... Are they actually saying that solar activity is of secondary importance???
Except according to you any skeptic of your agenda is automatically labelled a "denier". Ask *citation needed*. I dare you.
All we have learned is that science is misappropriated by people with presumptions and agendas. AGW proponents are the classic example. Mankind doesn't produce enough CO2 to make a difference. Sunspot activity actually matches what we observe. That is science.
Context. The armistice disarmed Germany including citizens. The 1928 legislation might have given more gun rights, but it's hard to go the other way when the law since the Great War had been "no guns allowed. Period." Obviously any new legislation was going to be more lenient than that!
I respect the fact that you seem to have done some research on the subject. However the 1928 legislation was still far too restrictive. Permits were required and that is exactly the Evil that tried to raise its head in Canada last decade. This paved the way for the 1938 legislation which was horrific. Religious minorities were explicitly denied gun ownership. Gun ownership was limited to "persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a permit" which sounds exactly like what our future tyrants want legislated today, in the UK, Canada, Australia. We have only started down this road in the past 10 years in the commonwealth.
I normally don't wade into these types of conversations but I've read the history (as you have) and come away with a very deep appreciation for gun rights. I hope you read it again. Perhaps you missed something. Perhaps I missed something? If you can explain how that Uganda, the Armenian slaughter and Ukrainian killings and pretty much every other tyrannical genocide was preceded by by a Disarmament of the People legislation, please let's hear it. Also, why does the UK have twice the rate of violent crime of the US? The UK has risen to #1 in that stat. The US has dropped over the past 2 decades. The gun buying frenzy since Obama came into power seems to push the rate even lower.
If anything I'm actually a little encouraged that only 3% or so of "victims" are falling for this. I would probably have guessed it would be at least 10%.
The summary didn't say 3% fall for the scam. It takes 3% to make it profitable. Your fears might be true: perhaps 10+% are duped.
Which is a little rediculous. If the costs for sending out email is negligible (even if you have to buy address lists) then hooking 1% or even less would be "profitable".
Could you continue your enlightening rant on spelling and grammer into the context of reading comprehension?:)

He landed in Newfoundland. I hope he finds The Only Road. Well it looks like he's not too far from Corner Brook. A couple days hike maybe.

there is discrimination, censorship and penalties in the scientific communities. lots of evidence of this out there, start with Ben Stein's "expelled"
