don't need for my Ubuntu but it is fine for pdf on windows. Adobe has perpetrated a lot of dysfunctional and restrictive software, perhaps just say no to adobe. Sumatra pdf viewer has given me no grief at all. Also MS Office 2013 will enable Word to read/edit pdf files...
Obviously congress could do it. 220 years of history say so. Whether they ought to have done it is a different matter. I doubt it. The extension of coverage will gratify those (like me) who have none but cost everyone else, so logic suggests that what is right will as usual be unpopular. But not unconstitutional. The health issue is two part in my mind: what do we chose to do that seriously affects health one way or the other, and who gets to pay for illness. I am happy with everyone paying for my illness, and I am not happy with anyone telling me what to eat smoke or drink. But I do not think coverage extension alone is a worthwhile thing, not considering the bigger picture. States limit insurance to their own companies; it should be national. hospitals doctors nurses and other unions of medical folks get laws passed that pretty much gives them the right to decide who you can go to for medical care; wrong! The Law does nothing about monopolies, very little to provide more competition, and just bolts another set of folks to a system that does not work very well.
When I've been elected to represent x thousand people I've never been terribly concerned about my constituents' opinions - after all it was my job to determine what their opinions were to be for I was the leader...as in, the one who had to bring home the bacon, to show visible progress in addressing perceived material and emotional needs. Which I did. Without asking for advice thank you. A government can barely function as a synthetic mob, turn it into an actual mob, and nothing but the fad of the moment will ever find support. Heaven help such a country.
Wish I had the chance to be your champion: take the lead in totally disabling that lady in every possible way and dare her to do whatever. Perhaps we could duel with pistols. I hate people like that and have always run straight at them and their threats barehanded, whether they had chains and knives, guns and tanks, or lawyers and politicians. So far they have run from me lol.
(It’s a street thing. Act absolutely certain you are about to kill your enemy if they so much as think a thought you don’t approve of, and they will generally consider that there may just be some chance that you really can and really would).
Hating consumer groups and organic food freaks equally and intensely, I shall send my few nickels to assist big agriculture in defeating these witches.
Just good enough is what it claims to be. Windows motif is sufficiently familiar that such can be rolled out without much in the way of training, deal with the problems as they become costly enough to deserve attention...I remember when our city decided to upgrade from Vaxen...I led 6000 users into windows land because of the training cost issues, it just was easier and cheaper...AND Balmer came down and paid for a few mil of our costs, which did not hurt the case for windows at all lol.
AFAIK the complex but useful behaviors I am used to with s86 aps will not exist in metro as by definition touch just will not support that level of detail in any convenient way. And I find portable computing hazardous rather than useful, the devices disappear, for starters, and so far using something as a remote terminal (as the server does not get lost or stolen) just hasn't appealed to me. But obviously MS is better off if they can merchandize to both x86 type machine owners and the larger number of portable devices, with essentially the same product. So I would assume they want that new interface on your new ap. BUT here's my ignorance: can it become reasonable to build a new x86 ap behind a metro interface, working as desired in metro and more fully with a keyboard interface? Or to attach a metro interface in a meaningful way to an x86 ap? I doubt it; and if not, full feature ap development will be in trouble...at least until some sort of brain-level interface starts to overthrow touch...imho
video world+dog 24x7x365, allow suit for MONETARY damages to give Judge authority to unseal; otherwise let it happen as it happens. Why do you care who I am- you think that would deter ME? Think again. And I don't care who you are nor what you do to my "reputation" since I care not what the entire human race feels thinks says or does - what can you all do? kill me? Torture me? Been done, so wucking fut. I am better able to fight anything imaginable, than anyone else in my opinion able to protect me. I HATE security and privacy and I am convinced that both were invented as an excuse for not serving customers
No Government has a Right to Tax. Admittedly they could and probably have a right to deny service to those on their 'do not patronize' list, for non-payment or for other reasons, but I have the same right. Exactly what service is a traveler abusing merely by visiting a territory some Government claims as "theirs"?
How about abolish the whole idea of intellectual property? Got an idea and can commercialize it first, good for you. If not to either, you lose. Most law is to avoid private violence; I don't see that as a problem here.
Its not fraud to call a dumbie and convince them not to vote. I suppose if one claims to be the Elections Office that's another matter. But dumbies shouldn't vote anyway - especially considering that they mostly vote fore their ecofreak leff loonie peers in intelligence. Hoorah for Canada's Conservatives!
one supposes that 'accountability' might work so long as one is dealing just with people trying to earn a living. try that in rl, away from software: no way. and anyway, accountability is not worth the cost it imposes, regardless of what the benbefits might be. death to apple and unending torture to accountability!
There is no such thing as Intellectual Property. First commercial use ought to belong to the innovator; after at most seven years, that's it. If one can not find a way to stay first, wtf. I support any and all methods including revolutionary dismemberment of all nation-states, to vindicate my position on this.
We are in for it now. Li-O reaching gasoline energy density will lead some to think that electric vehicles should not only be tolerated but encouraged, now that they are "practical". What a disaster. No one will think of generation and transmission inefficacies to provide recharge energy nor of the great fun of manufacturing the darn things. Another yuppie fanatic disaster about to be foisted on the public. Used to be one could rely upon the rich and the powerful to squash the idiot mob but now, witness IBM, they have decided to join in and simply grab most of the profit. Are the rest of you just too damn stupid to understand your own natures or those of your fellow beings?
I could not care less about child pornography or terrorism. I am opposed to both, but so what I bet it's hard to find people publicly claiming to suppoprt either. Both are sufficiently rare that NO significant incinvenience, LET ALONE INFRINGEMENT OF LIBERTY, is justified in either case.
Environmentalism and the precautionary so-called principle are both big lies, functionally equivalent to "I've got mine - F^&%% YOU!" OR "Destroy progress the modern age and liberty all in one whack". Perhaps the yuppie-techie side of the Obama coalition will begin to see the truth: these envronmental whackos are the Enemies of Humanity, at least as thoroughly as ever a Hitler, a Stalin, or a Mao was.

That which can be readily made isolated safe and retrievable is not a problem it is a resource. Darn the yuppie environmental terrorists!

The EXXON dude is 100% correct. Telling Truth to Yuppie Idiots (redundant) is my specialty.

helpful and informative, and gratifying that at the moment the USG is on the side of freedom.
I think we ought to abolish security except in its military manifestation. the rest does no good and much harm.
