Oops. I should have re-read the summary. I thought the GP was referring to the CEA pressrelease and not the RIAA op-ed. Ignore parent post (or mod it into oblivion.) And, yes, above quote definitely applies to me. I am an idiot.
but I do not think calling the President of the RIAA a "Spinner"
Please RTFA. He's calling the head of the CEA a 'spinner'. Who said "better to keep your mouth shut and have others think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"? Mark Twain?
Isn't it enough that something works right out of the box? Sure, I could buy an Apple/Mac and it would work, but I'd have to live without right-click.
I don't have much against Linux. Maybe I'm not sufficiently informed, maybe my entire life could be made simpler by a switch to Linux. But for now, Windows works.
You sir, should sit in the/. timeout corner. I'm not down with all the Microsoft bashing on this thread - the topic should be modded -1 Flamebait, but you are woefully ignorant. ** Windows almost never works 'right out of the box'. If you're using it that way, then your system is already compromised. ** You can use a mouse with right button in OS X. Or you just hold your click for 2 seconds to get the contextual menu. ** You're not sufficiently informed vis-a-vis Linux. Try a friendly distro like MEPIS or Ubuntu.
I was having problems with my video camera on my Windows machine. Worked like a charm on my Mac mini. Worked like a charm with my MEPIS box. Never could get my wife's iPod to even be seen by the Windows box. Obviously the Mac saw it. MEPIS does too. But boy, could I play games on the Windows box.
Hence, this name, microcephalin, implies that the action of this gene, is to make heads and, consequently, brains, smaller, not larger.
Actually, the gene got the name because it is one of six leading indicators of Microcephaly - ergo it doesn't make the brain smaller, but when it is recessive can lead to the disorder. It's name is associative and not indicative.
Shouldn't they, I don't know, invest in roads or infrastructure instead of wasting money sending someone to the moon? It's not like there are any convenience stores to run up there...oh, wait. NOW it makes sense.
at least the prevailing wage for the area in which the company is located, and national laws also must apply.
Er, right. Where did you study economics? Hint: if India wants the same laws as the US, they'll enact them. On a micro level, this is why Philadelphia is losing jobs to Wilmington, DE. Folks can deal with Philly's red tape and high taxes, or they can go someplace less constricting. That's why it's called a free market.
Wrong. Wealth is wealth. 100K is 100K. That's like saying a ton of bricks weighs more than a ton of feathers. Buying power is different from wealth. Wealth is a measure of accumulated resources. Buying power is a measure of how you can use it. This should be obvious.
Exactly. These guys can't agree on anything so I don't know how they would build it. They put Sudan on the Human Rights commission and took billions in bribes from Saddam Hussein. You might think the US is bad, but look at the alternative. Cripes, the EU can't even agree on a Constitution.
I call bullshit. Poverty is not "generally measured, not by how little you have, but by how much less you have than average." Poverty is the inability to sustain a way of life. What my neighbor makes has no bearing on how free I am. We use the same tax schedule but there are boatloads of folks in the U.S. who make more than me but who manage it poorly. Thus, they pay more to the common weal, may have more in the bank, but are constrained about what they can do in terms of family trips/home improvements. You sound like a socialist in terms of everyone being on a level playing field and no one being '"poorer" for their lack of resources. But they're happy...' Christ, you sound like a Communist. People are happy when they have political and economic self determination - regardless of how much they earn or who their President is. I hated Clinton and I'm not enamored of Bush, but I'm not going anywhere because I get a say. My ancestors did not have that luxury. True story: My great-grandfather went back to Italy that he left when he was 16. He was in his 80's. He was supposed to be their two weeks. They were so excited to show him their new toilet. First one the family ever had. He left after two days. All his kids, including my grandmom, glamorized Italy (and I know it's got some great stuff and having studied Latin, I know the deep heritage) but not everyone has it great and no place is all it's cracked up to be. Finally, as for keeping guns in drawers - the primary reason for this right in the US is to kill government types who overstep their bounds. It's less about neighbors and hunting and more about preventing idiocy in the ruling class. The risk, of course, is that unsupervised children are going to harm themselves or others which is on the adults who facilitated their gun acquisition.
I am *so* not a kernel developer, but aren't there chip extensions on 64-bit systems, flags or something, that can be addressed to prevent 'mucking' which was not the case, or at least, not such that Microsoft utilized it. I'm sure someone much smarter than me can say this better than what I think I'm saying.
*sips Scotch*
(And don't look at me, I'm just waiting for 64-bit MEPIS.)
Spot on. Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury, made the Coast Guard the cornerstone of his plan for collecting revenues. There's even an urban legend that the Coast Guard 'Cutters' (first boats commissioned by the U.S.) were to fight 'revenue cutters'. Because this was part of international commerce, it was outside the protection of domestic rights. Another example of this is how enemy combatants are typically not covered under domestic rights such as right to a lawyer, speedy trial, habeas corpus, etc. Somehow, this has been forgotten or ignored recently.

I do a bit of work with folks from the Netherlands. Great folks. Great country. One guy turned to me and said "I wish we could be as confident as you Americans are." Struck me dumb. This is a bright guy who I highly respect and yet his focus, despite his strengths, was on confidence.

Not to mention they are run by party volunteers who are, well at least in Philadelphia, less then, uh, reputable.
People have been fired from Harvard for saying less than this.

We know by now that Saddam Hussein never ever had any WMD.

And the Kurds just gassed themselves...
BTW, it was never about whether Saddam had WMD, but whether he allowed inspections. He didn't. He lost.
