You got it wrong. I don't care about the livelihood of the people who try to restrict and monopolize the information I read everyday on the web. Big difference there.
Yeah, and ol' Ron Paul also missed voting on the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism" bill HR1955, too. What's up with that? I can't even find any comments from him about it. The only thing obvious is that he wasn't there both times. A little too convenient. Kucinich's vote is on record... both times. That's the criteria I use when grading politicians. Their speeches mean nothing. Their records speak volumes...quite loudly and forcefully. Ron Paul doesn't sound like the kind of guy who's going to be around when we need him. I don't trust him. And I can guarantee that Kucinich's health plan won't cost the country any more than what we have now with insurance and drug companies robbing us blind. And regardless of that, even if it was an either/or situation(which it's not, a "no fault" type of program will be much cheaper) I would rather have trillions go to health care instead of warfare. None of this matters. Neither will win the nomination. What the people will vote for is four more years of accelerating decline because they continue to believe the bullshit that spews out of the front runners. But to say there's no choice now is absurd.
The primaries haven't even started yet. And there is a certain candidate from Ohio that may try to roll it back. He is the ONLY candidate to have voted against the Patriot Act. In theory there's still hope. In practice? Well, that's different. Most people will vote to keep things the way they are out of fear, greed, or some other self interest. Here's hoping for an epiphany.
Not only that, but if the big search engines start restricting search results, we might see many more "home grown" search engines fill the net with spiders that won't respect robots.txt, and start clogging the tubes which are already getting clogged with advertisement. As it is, I don't care if the publishers rot.
Hmmmm Maybe I should quit posting until the freaks use up their mod points. Maybe somebody can point out where it's been said before? Under this article?
I agree. Deadlines are okay. I just don't think we need big, hairy public pronouncements with the trumpets blaring, lights flashing, etc. It sounds too much like a Microsoft campaign. These aren't the things we should emulate. I take Linus's attitude. It will be ready when it's ready. I don't want to see another repeat of Vista, like what's happening with Leopard.
First, it can put undue pressure on the developers causing a release of faulty code. And missing it looks embarrassing. Plus it just provides vital information to the enemy.
Well, we could launch it and build a new space station around it. Kinda like that old hillbilly joke, What does he do when the truck breaks down? Build an outhouse.
Take a look at the budget to get an idea of where the money is going instead of somewhere constructive.
It looks like a lot of it went to making that page as indecipherable as possible. I think someone inadvertently created a new crypto algorithm. Let's use something with a little more impact.
Then it doesn't seem to serve much purpose. This means the authoritarians can block it also. For the sake of accessibility, I hope they find a way around it. There are other ways of maintaining one's privacy.
...there's no such thing as "McDonald's nutritional information".
Oh yeah, it's right up there with "Adverjournalism", an absolutely impossible concept, even more so than faster than light travel. This is linguistic terrorism, and should be outlawed. I'm all for repealing the first amendment if it continues.
All of it. It didn't relate at all to what I was saying. I have no idea where to begin.
It not about SL in particular. It's the whole attempt to meld two totally unrelated things together. This is another rehash of, "Does virtual rape equate the real thing". Are you going to put people in a real prison for it? Are you going to tie up real public resources over what happened in a game? It's insanity. That aspect of it IS real. What happens in these games should stay there. When the computer is off the game doesn't exist except within the context of the itself. Oh Christ, now you got me into that outlandish concept. I quit! I'm going to get a real beer and get real drunk and throw up real vomit.
"There's 3000 dollars in un-collected "GO" money" I'm gathering you mean Lindens, which equates to around US$15, of course I could be wrong you entire scenario from this point onwards is bizarre.
I guess you never played Monopoly. And judging by your reaction to my post, you seem to be the sensitive type with a thin skin and an inability to comprehend the "editorial" you. As for the rest of your post, I don't understand a word you said. It made no sense. Have fun playing "The Game". Look it up:-)

Then again I don't know who the enemy in the GP's post is supposed to be.

It was a "setting a date to withdrawal from Iraq" joke. Jeeze, you guys. Do I have to explain everything?

Where's the damn reset button?
The emperor truly has no clothes and nobody dares to point it out.
That's why we want Ahhnold to be our next emperor. Nobody will care to point it out.
If you let all the smoke out, it will cease to function properly.
...how many days or is it hours of Iraq does it take to fund a solution to this?
Rough estimate, Every day in Iraq costs us two shuttle launches. I'll play it even more conservatively. We could easily 500 times(!) every year.

WOOOSH!
First, it can put undue pressure on the developers causing a release of faulty code. And missing it looks embarrassing. Plus it just provides vital information to the enemy.
...after adding the necessary bits...
Well, we could launch it and build a new space station around it. Kinda like that old hillbilly joke, What does he do when the truck breaks down? Build an outhouse.
... even when the people decide to 'vote the bastards out', 99% of the bastards keep their jobs.
And that's the government's fault??? I would advise "the people" to look in the mirror before throwing stones.

I see SL (as in Savings and Loans) and start thinking there's lots of virtual Charles Keatings and John McCains out there :-)
Simon ese. Somos pocos pero locos
There's plenty of binspam in the firehose. I would tag this as part of it.

But they're Linden dollars. They can buy you a nice juicy Linden T-bone. That'll put some meat on their bones.
