There was widespread disagreement over the war, but for the most part people couldn't muster up any dander against their government. I'm sure that without the war and the draft the boomers would never have gotten a rep as anti-establishmentarians.
I hate to break the news to you, but the "republitards" are out of office, and the democraps are doing the same thing but twice as hard. Giving trillions of dollars to the politically connected is wrong no matter who does it.
You're implying economists are stupid. They are not. They have learned the fine art of political sycophancy. You won't see any mathematicians claiming 2+2=5 in exchange for a government sinecure, but your average economist will gladly endorse whatever harebrained schemes politicians will propose.
All those config files are in just two (easily linked to just one). They are $HOME/.kde, and $HOME/.config. All that litter you see in your home directory does not come from KDE apps. If you find exceptions, log a bug.
p.s. Yeah, I know GNOME does a lot more littering than this, but that's why you're a KDE fanboi.
The original problem was about all of those tiny configuration files that GNOME and KDE use. At the worst of times (when I get into a reconfiguration frenzy) I will not be modifying more than one or two configuration files per sixty second period. If ext4 can't handle that rate, then ext4 is broken.
Except for installation time, I will NEVER have the need "a way to write those files in a batch".
There are many knives whose purpose is to dismember, mutilate or eviscerate once living beings. In fact, the knife nuts are so bad there is even one instance of a knife whose sole purpose is to remove foreskins from infants! Think of the children!
The clause that says that they can't resell unused portions of licenses, nor return unused portions to Microsoft. They are left paying for something they are not allowed to use.
I'm not sure that counts as unconscionable. They never received title to the licenses, and thus they have no right to resell it as it is not theirs to resell. Deals like this are quite common in business. I'm in a similar position with my ISP. I have bought six months of service. If I move away and can no longer use the service, I cannot resell the unused portion. Why would I agree to this? For the discount!
Here's the feature I want: bug fixes! Everytime I turn around there's a new Firefox packed full of new features I don't need. I wondering how rock solid it could be if they spent half that energy on fixing bugs. No new features until the bug queue is empty!
Just like with guns, the law-abiders need to bear the full brunt of the legislation. Register all knives! If you're an honest cook, you have nothing to hide. So register knives today! And wait ten days for the appoveal. For the Children!
Remember, you're not a politician, and don't know how to run your own life.
More, how much will they get when it becomes known that Microsoft's demands for payment played a major role in putting those companies into bankruptcy?
Your financial ignorance is shocking. Bankruptcy means that you cannot repay your debts. Your financial obligation to Microsoft, which you voluntarily assumed, is one such debt. While it is not your fault you cannot pay, neither is it Microsoft's.
Bankruptcy is your legal backdoor. It's a way to legally renege on your promises. If you don't want to renege on your promises, then pay Micrsoft what you promised to pay them.
Please name one clause that is unconscionable. Please.
There is a way out for the contractees, however. It's called "bankruptcy". When you are unable to meet your financial obligations, which these people are unable to do, then you file bankruptcy.
Honoring contracts is one of the pillars of a healthy economy. Dump that and dump all expectations of ever recovering. This isn't about Microsoft, it's about all other foreign companies deciding that they no longer want to do business with people in a nation where contracts are meaningless.
Well... yeah! I know it's a bizarre concept in today's world trillion dollar bailouts seem the norm, but prior to six months ago, if you signed up for a three year contract you were required to pay for three years. Why should they be treated any different from other failed businesses? No one was holding a gun to their head making them buy those contracts.
I would rather have quality Open Source drivers. Yeah, you through the specs "over the wall", but it would be nice if you were a bit more active. Like giving us an actual Open Source driver. Or patches. Or something. We shouldn't be doing your work for you.
E.g. consume less, which could undoubtedly be achieved through higher energy taxes:)
That just leads to more bureaucracy, filling up D.C. buildings with corpulent bureaucrats stuffing their faces with vending machine hot dogs and farting dangerous greenhouse gases. This will hasten the demise of the planet much faster than an extra UPS trip over other odd week.
Seriously, his is why shipping methodologies need to be left to the market. Shipping companies want to make a profit, and fewer trips at using less fuel adds to their profits. Taxes may also perform the same function, but bureaucrats are incapable of making the economic calculations necessary to target taxes with sufficient precision, because markets are constantly shifting and changing. Go read up on Hayek and economic calculation.
I haven't read the books, but the movie definitely made it seem like the superheroes had superpowers. Not the modern style of superpowers, where it has to be theme based around your costume or name, and able to mesh into a tight ensemble cast, but a the classic superpowers where you didn't have to be a mutant or alien or gamma freak to be a hero.
Look at just the opening sequence. Stone is being crushed by bare fists. Comedian took a punishing that should have killed him in the first five seconds. He should have been dead long before he was thrown out the window. And his attacker should have had mangled hands. That was not ordinary human strength, that was superstrength. Not Superman strength, but still far beyond the capabilities of normal human beings.
I thought the sex scenes were a bit too long too. Actually, just the one sex scene. Too much lingering. I don't want porn in my mainstream movies, it's very distracting. Don't derail my movie experience through titillation. If I wanted that I would watch some real porn. In short, I don't want my mainstream movies to have explicit sex, and I don't want my porn to have a plot.
But I'm an equal opportunity critic. I thought the gore was overdone as well. This is not a movie for squeamish people. What works with pen and ink in a nine panel comic book can be excessive in a movie.
This movie could have been toned down so it still had the raw sex and grisly violence, but without distracting from the story at hand.
Need funds to fix up the school buildings? Fire the bureaucracy. If you want a standard uniform education (no-child-left-unsheepled policy) then create one. But beyond that the only thing bureaucrats can manage to do is shovel your dollars into a furnace.
Back in high school a student's mom worked at the IRS, and would bring us five gallon buckets full of "chads". There's no greater confetti for football games!

In other words, Tso wants to move the problem from the file system to a database, because then he doesn't have to fix the database.
And just like hip hop, it's not even artistic.
England is the Poster Boy for the nanny state. It's like a huge object lesson in political absurdity.

Typical reply I get when I complain about a buggy page: "I don't know what the problem is, I tested on both Internet Explorer and Firefox!"
Two Internet Explorer. Two FireFox. Two Safari. Two Opera. But zero Konqueror.
"What version of HTML did you write that page in dude?"
"It's version six AND seven man!"
"Whoa! Anybrowser!"
