Look at it this way. During the time you spend filling the tank in your H2, you will have made ten or twenty times the the money you will spend on the gas. You don't need to care about the money. It ended up being a pittance anyway. They effectively lost nothing. And consumers still flock to buy their stuff as fast as they can put it out. How much longer till someone discovers XCP v2.0? Rinse, repeat. v3...4...5 This won't stop until we vote their shills out of office and quit buying their "crappy" products, from them and from any other company in their portfolio.
No, "Bushnomics" is based on contraband. Reagan (and the people that support him) sold the country's soul to the company store. Anyway, it appears Ohio has quite an eclectic population. They so readily sell themselves out like this, and yet they give us Kucinich, the only decent character on the campaign trail. There must be an oasis in that desert.
Number one rule about the King of Thailand...You don't insult the King of Thailand. This was actually a surprise to me also. I never expected so much love for the man here on Slashdot. Here I was, thinking that most in these parts actually knew better. That's life, I guess. All I can do is write them off as freaks, 'cause that's what they are. Selfish, little freaks. Mosquitoes that never travel more than a few yards from the swamp.
Well, it looks like somebody raised ol' boy from the dead to give you some props. Eh, figures. Perfect explanation for the decline. and why lying sociopaths continue to occupy the highest office of the land. Carry on. I'm off to the mountains for some shrooms. You all put on quite a good show. Maybe some day you'll get your facts right, but I'm not counting on it. If you need a history teacher to tell you about life under Reagan, then obviously you weren't there. I've seen it. I've lived it. And my mother is rotting in an old farts home because of it. And you know where you can put your mod points. Thank your lucky stars that in this life there is no justice.
Yeah, unfortunately I and many others suffered under his rule. Well, not exactly his rule since he was already senile when he entered office. I watched my parents investments and dividends and retirement bennies go up in a puff of smoke because of the business atmosphere that administration created. And I can tell you this. The IRS took 70% of my father's income, and my mom didn't have to find work to make up for it. Your Ronnie Reagan made it necessary to have three incomes to raise a family. Yeah that trickle down was a real winner that was. You don't know what you're talking about if think he was some kind of hero. Sounds like you never saw past the headlines.
Some of you left-wing kooks...
Easy to see what you're all about. And I don't get my politics from the TeeVee. Watch Showtime? Please! Something tells me you know nothing of life before Reagan.
Yippie! Another battle between "left-wing kooks" and "right wing religious whackos" Have a nice day:-)
The problem is that we aren't presented with the right choices to make it stop. emph. mine
Now see? This is precisely the problem I'm talking about. We only accept what's being presented. This is where we go wrong. Don't wait for the presentation. We have a fairly robust system of worldwide communication now. Let's use it. Seek them out! The party has no obligation to present anything. It will only present what's in its best interests, certainly not yours. Draft people who want to be lawyers, for instance, into office. I'm all for political conscription. The whole thing lies squarely on our shoulders, nobody else's. We have to make it work. Don't depend on the authoritarians to do it for you. They're only looking for slaves to clean their toilets and wipe their butts. Don't look to a "third party". If we need political parties, we should create a second one first. We need to be the party, not be ruled by one. In America WE are supposed to be the rulers. We have completely abdicated our authority...to a bunch of lying carpetbaggers no less. And all this is due to personal desire (of the flesh). Dive deeper...beyond Clinton-Bush-republican-democrat-congress-procedure-bla bla bla. They are not worth a moment's thought, other than getting them out of the way. It's up to us to make them and their ilk totally irrelevant. We need to control our own lives while at the same time insure that all human interaction is cooperative and consensual, not coercive and demanding. Only we can do anything to make it happen. And we need you, and you, and you...all of you....please. It is a major undertaking, but one that can be accomplished instantaneously, with every individual making the switch. There is no Superman, I'm sorry to say.
Eh, freaks with points. Not much that can be done about it. I have assaulted his/hers preconceived beliefs. A mortal sin amongst the authoritarian jet set.
In the context of my post, the question was more or less rhetorical but I wanted to leave room for an actual reply if someone wished.
In that context, asked, and answered. But to repeat, between those "two", clearly the answer is no. What you have there is tag team wrestling, with the party in one corner and us in the other. And while you* have been fished in by all these distractions, one of their goons just swiped your wallet off the table and spiked your drink. I've seen it plenty of times where someone will start a "fight" in a bar and while everybody is watching, the team goes to work. Many of the patrons go home without their money, credit cards, keys, and ID. Make no mistake these people will and have committed murder to keep their power. Republican and democrat alike. And they are alike. They work as one. They are one. There can only be one. And since the party is basically a tool of power, not the user, I tend to ignore it altogether. I believe we are the users, all trying to manipulate it to our own personal advantage, but our methods have made it simple for someone to come in and use it for their own personal power. All the world's a stage...
Do like the man says. It will help clear up the fog a little. These distractions are the potholes we need to avoid in order to have a safe journey. And for goodness sake, don't tailgate:-)
Didn't we have a different administration for most of the 1990's?
For all effective purposes, no. We haven't had a "different" administration since 1968. Some might say since 1963, and I tend to agree with that assessment.
Because, due to abuse of authority widely practiced by the government, far too many "criminal investigations" are actually witch hunts designed to root out "subversives". Maybe your government doesn't do that, but the vast majority of them do. And we need to protect ourselves from tyrants. Not that we are doing very well in that department. I hope that helps to clear things up a bit.
All that stuff only applies if you're not an "unlawful combatant", and according to the government, you need to be an American citizen. In other words, "void where prohibited by law".
Anything that the guy with the gun says it means. I hope you don't have a problem with that because that's just the way things are. Nobody here can agree on the meaning what with all the arguments I see amongst you all. So the one with the biggest gun wins. Very simple. Might makes right. Any questions?
We shouldn't forget that the Concorde cruises at Mach 2. To this day no other aircraft can do this for over three hours without needing to refuel. It also is a forty year old design. The scramjet will be the next...if it hits the market before something else comes along. We're still looking at 10 more years at least. Just so you all know, the concept has been around for a very long time. So even it is not really "new". The idea of the jet engine was conceived many years before production was possible. I will grant that there has been much progress in material sciences, but for basic locomotion (crazy movement?), we're using pretty ancient stuff.
Now, there hasn't been a lot of effort to get them to run on magic pixie dust;which is what you seem to be wanting.
That's precisely the attitude towards the mere idea of flying at all that most people had before 1900. I guess we'll being using that kerosene for some time to come as long as we think that anything else will be considered "pixie dust".
What the hell do you fly in?
Aeronca Champ. Okay, Citabria. Made from materials I know won't fail if I operate the machine within spec. I did get to fly a Stearman once. They are very reliable if your keep the cylinders torqued down properly. So what do you fly in? One of those fancy Stratocruisers? No thanks. I feel much safer in the Champ.
It's up to us to break free of the corporate backbone that holds us captive. If all this "make your own hardware on your printer" ever comes to fruition, then we can simply build around whatever walls they try to put up. That also leads me to believe that this kind of tech will be highly restricted. Let's try to make that impossible, too, eh? We'll make "Darknet" just as mysterious as dark matter. And don't blame the government for your own failures to vote these kinds of people out of office. The field is wide open. If all you vote for is the person who dazzles you the most, there's not much left to say about you that can be said in front of women and children.

If that happens, I'd suggest investing heavily in porcine aviation stocks, however.
On the Wall Street Wolf scale, Sony is not the worst investment you could make.
They don't even care about money.

Very rude of me to reply twice, but here's a much more concise answer to your question
Yes Reaganomics. That which places big commercial or business interests above all else. A true leader of the mercantile class.
You're welcome
Do you even know who Ronald Reagan was?
:-)
Yeah, unfortunately I and many others suffered under his rule. Well, not exactly his rule since he was already senile when he entered office. I watched my parents investments and dividends and retirement bennies go up in a puff of smoke because of the business atmosphere that administration created. And I can tell you this.

This is how the "free market" works, eh? You scratch my back I scratch yours? Is this a spillover from Reaganomics?
Eh, freaks with points. Not much that can be done about it. I have assaulted his/hers preconceived beliefs. A mortal sin amongst the authoritarian jet set.

Who in the two party system is actually the lessor of two evils?
I, for one, will assume that is a rhetorical question. And I will turn it around to ask, is there such a thing as a "lessor" evil? I think not.
Didn't we have a different administration for most of the 1990's?
For all effective purposes, no. We haven't had a "different" administration since 1968. Some might say since 1963, and I tend to agree with that assessment.

Please! Then let's arrest everybody for honking their horns or even talking within earshot.
Yeah, like that truck that's about to smash you flat as a pancake.
What does "stolen" mean?
