Libertarians forget that freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.
ABSOLUTELY WRONG. Libertarians believe that every action has a consequence, and everybody is responsible for his or her own actions through the consequences of those actions. Libertarians also believe that society is responsible for somebody, that person is no longer completely responsible for themselves. So, libertarians advocate that these people be solely responsible for themselves.
To expound on the above:
Libertarians oppose any government interfering in their personal, family and business decisions. Libertarians believe all Americans should be free to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit as long as they do no harm to another.
Less government, lower taxes and more freedom. This is something Democrats, and to a much lesser degree Republicans, do not comprehend.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
7. Go over your bosses's head and tell the owners what he's up to.
Do it in writing, USPS, certified return receipt to two different persons if possible (forces accountability) and make notes and copies of everything for yourself.
The power of Web 2.0 is in full effect over at Digg, where users are revolting over Digg's decision to pull a story (that netted over 15,000 diggs) and reportedly boot a user for posting the HD-DVD AACS Processing Key number, which would allow someone to crack the copy protection on an HD-DVD. The front page (along with two and three) of Digg consists entirely of stories flaunting the number or criticizing Digg for its actions. Update: Fresh screencap, gallery of first four pages and thoughts after the jump.
People are zombie like drones that are unable to make up there own minds?
Could be that the buying public is to stupid to know the benefits of choice or must have there hand held.
How about that the basics of freedom are lost on the populace even though is it one of the basics of our culture?
Could be that people like the infringing their personal freedoms.
Could it be that the the clash of competition really isn't is the sound of freedom?
Communism worked, right?
Mark Twain said: It is by the fortune of God that, in this country, we have three benefits -- freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either.
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom. -- Robert Frost
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that, too. -- W. Somerset Maugham
Freedom begins when you tell M$ to go take a leap.
Freedom is nothing else but the chance to do better. -- Camus
The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom. -- Justice Douglas
So did I miss any trite one liners? It is all this subject is worth, anyone who doesn't believe in choice should have there head examined. Even a choice between two bad options is better than no choice at all.
The De Facto credo of Slackware is KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid.
ALL configuration file are plain text files that can be eddited manualy.
Slackware always uses a plain vanilla Kernel, never pached.
Slackware has a policy of incorporating only stable releases of applications, standing mainly for design stability and aims to be the most UNIX-like Linux distribution. Doug McIlroy summarized the UNIX philosophy in three simple rules:
Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
Write programs to work together.
Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.
Slackware Linux does not have a complex package manager like RPM or dpkg. Packages are normal tgz (tar/gzip) files, often with an additional installation script and a package description file. For novice users tgz is much more powerful than RPM, and avoids dependency problems.
Slackware uses BSD style init scripts, while most other Linux distros use System V style init scripts. Basically, with System V style each runlevel is given a subdirectory for init scripts, whereas BSD style gives a single init script to each runlevel. BSD style advocates say that it is better because with this system it is much easier to find, read, edit, and maintain the scripts. System V advocates say that the System V structure for the scripts makes them more powerful and flexible.
It is worth noting that System V init compatibility has been incorporated into Slackware, starting with version 7.0.
Thea way I put it is that Slackare is is lean, mean ant to built to stay that way.
Let the insurance company handle it. That is what you pay them for, they don't want to pay the claim themselves and the insurance company has the deep pockets to cover legal fees.
The author supports his point of view well and I think very well thought out but I still disagree
I agree that Vista isn't the last Windows OS. Case in point is OS/2, thought to be DOA in 1995 is still around and Windows will probably be too in 10 years.
Linux? Yes, the argument is very good but he doesn't take into account the raw power, quality, robustness and flexibility of Linux especially the Kernel. He expounds on the lack of drivers which indicates that the author isn't quite up to date on Kernel development.
As far as the OS being outdated I think not, maybe for the casual consumer a transparent OS will come true but there will always be a OS it is in the nature of computing machines. Running all your applications on the Internet will probably come true however accessing the Internet will still requite an OS AND an application to connect to it.
Paper ballots marked with a felt tip pen then scanned into a machine is the system used here in Maricopa county, Arizona. System seems to work well with great conference among voters with 60% turnout for the 2006 General Election.
If 1p was changed per email with the 1st 30 free per day it would stop spam dead.
I can go one better.
1-Charge the $0.01 (or $0.005 or whatever) per piece of email, prepaid.
2-When the email reaches the other end monies are returned to the sender. However, at the recipients discretion the postage return can be stopped.
The end result would hopefully be that spammers pay, optimally through the nose, and compliant users still get to use the system for free or next to free.
You'd think with their constant complaints about the liberal media, Republicans would be all in favor of a law requiring CNN et all to present their side fairly.
Liberals need the Fairness Doctrine much more than the Conservatives.
