I'm part of the 99% too. However last I checked this is a free country. While the 1% can tell you how to live your life (just like the 99% can mind you) they cannot force you. Only the government can do that. The 1%'ers do not make laws (seems you failed civics, if you ever had that class) There's nothing stopping you from becoming one of those 1%'ers 'cept... Oh yeah - you're an idiot!
For twelve years you've been asking "Who is John Galt?" This is John Galt speaking. I'm the man who's taken away your victims and thus destroyed your world. You've heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis and that Man's sins are destroying the world. But your chief virtue has been sacrifice, and you've demanded more sacrifices at every disaster. You've sacrificed justice to mercy and happiness to duty. So why should you be afraid of the world around you?
Oh I don't know, perhaps because defending the country is explicitly mentioned in the Constitution as a illegitimate power and reason for having a government and Energy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Institute of Standards and Technology and USGS are not?
Corporations have already provided you with 1000 times more stuff than government has ever had. Do us all a favor and stop right now from every purchasing another thing that a dirty corporation produced. You'll die within the month!
Have you no faith in the goodness of the American people? Do you serious think that without these cabinet level positions such things are impossible?!? Or have you diluted yourself into thinking that the reason we have say public education is because of the Dept. of Ed? You do know we didn't have that one til relatively recently and yet public education managed just fine without it. And why do you believe that energy is a commodity that only gov can research? We research all kinds of other things without a cabinet level office to "guide" us.
Right Steve, that's why Android's doing so badly - cause you need a PhD in CS to use it....
Meantime I always here Paul Thorrott clamoring about how fragmented the Android market and market place are. I've had an Evo pretty much since they came out. I rooted it because I didn't feel like paying Sprint an extra $30/month for hotspot that I only use in a pinch anyway. And then I wanted gingerbread so I installed a ROM. Didn't need to do that. It's been over a year, closer to two and I don't feel fragmented or that behind and I definitely don't feel like I need to update anything. This Android based phone rarely has problems nor needs to be rebooted like my old Windows Mobile piece of crap used to. With that piece of shit I could get a frozen phone just trying to answer the phone sometimes...
Ah excuse me. But regardless if he was a false prophet or not, come back from the dead and turning water into wine you'd think'd get at least and honorable mention.
All that's obvious is that this stupid story is a load of crap!
Man, the UK is more fucked up than I had originally imagined. At first I thought it was just bad teeth, bad food and bad weather. Now I hear of the shitty liable laws and rampant pseudo science. But now stupid cyber bullying laws. Geeze, note to self - never consider move there - they are barbarians fer sure...
Incorrect. In the US, your testimony counts as evidence for the prosecution, hearsay for the defence. Anything you say can be used against you in America, never for you.
Nonsense! Your testimony most certainly can be beneficial for you. It depends largely on the facts of the case and what you said. To say it is never for you is just plain wrong. You certainly can say things that the jury will see as favorable to your defense. Chances might be low, but it's not impossible!
Meanwhile, if you look at someone who makes $30 million a year, spends $2 million on taxable goods, and invests or saves the other $28 million, they end up paying an effective 2% tax rate.
A person who invests $28 million creates jobs, which we desperately need. Ya know jobs that them thar poor folks work on. Otherwise them poor folks would be making nothing!!!
It's obviously not "fair" to tax each person the same dollar amount. Why do people think it's "fair" to tax each person the same percentage?
Oh I don't know - maybe because we took math and understand percentages? You seem to understand it a bit as you put both mentions of the word fair in quotes. Because mathematically at least, and that means rationally or for real, taxing everybody the same percentage is fair (no quotes).
I'd call it most fair to impose the same financial burden on each person through taxes, which means that we're able to take a much, much larger percentage of a very rich person's income before they're seriously inconvenienced by it.
At least your realize and call it what it is - theft!!! (take a percentage). Look if you make more you should be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you don't make much then by not having much it's supposed to be an incentive to do better. I'm sick and tired of people trying to level the playing field by stealing from one set of people (the producers) and giving it to another set of losers (the moochers)!
Silly me. I thought we should only prosecute people who actually commit the crime - not people who say they will do something illegal. I mean after all, saying it does not equal doing it. But I guess such speech would be too free...
I don't think you appreciate just how much laws regulating speech do for you on a daily basis.
Have you ever read the label on a food item? It's accurate because of laws regulating speech.
Have you ever read/seen/listened to an advertisement? They can't lie to you because of laws regulating speech.
Have you ever made an oral contract? It's enforceable because of laws regulating speech.
Have you ever been stampeded after someone shouted fire in a crowded theater? Probably not... because of laws regulating speech.
Lying to the police is a crime. Perjury is a crime. Our legal system works because of laws regulating speech.
Bullshit! There are lies in food labels and advertisements all the time. Could we, for example, prosecute Obama (or any politician for that matter) for advertising what he/she will do when in office and then failing to so do? After all, that is false advertising of the worse form. But that doesn't happen now does it...
Also, we're talking about laws regarding free speech or the expression of ideas, not the intended to be factual description of a product to get you to part with your money.
Finally that "shouting in fire in a crowded theater" bullshit is over played. I highly doubt that if you yelled fire in a crowded theater that it would do anything at all. People would look around, see no fire nor smoke, thus no immediate threat, and quietly walk out of the theater. That's the most bullshit excuse I've ever heard!
I really, really don't understand this. Is everybody so weak they can't fight for themselves?!? I know if I was asked to strip or shit in a bucket I'd be saying "Not for $15/day I won't". You know it's not a real prison. They would have to physically harm me to get me to do anything I didn't want to do and I'm sorry but I would never submit to such humiliation or say solitary confinement for no lousy $15/day. And if they did harm me I would fucking sue them. This story makes no sense!
You can also throw Cygwin on a thumb drive. With Cygwin you get not only ssh but ftp, bash, perl, X, etc. and all of them are designed to work together just like Linux.

Maybe they'll change the name... ;-)
AFAICT sharing doesn't work - at least not for songs you didn't purchase. Even if you performed and recorded them yourself! Pfft!

My first thought - a bestiality site with a tag line of "Animals need love too". ;-)
It's a ghost town to you perhaps but way not for me. I spend more time on Google+ than I have done on FacePlant... I mean FaceBook.

Not really. Languages have been known to have the ability to call libraries written in other languages. Have you not heard of this?!?

I don't believe it. If there were that much IT in LV then there would be IT jobs. I haven't seen a single IT job in LV in years - have you?

No install Cygwin and also mintty. Much better terminal emulator.
That's FF 1.1.3 to you buddy!
