Interestingly, under the much more authoritarian Thatcher, it remained a thorn in the government's side. Insightful? Really? How many cc tvs were operating under Thatcher? How many ASBO's were issued during Thatcher's time as PM? Oh, wait, only right wing authoritarianism is bad, left wing is ok.

Nobody expects you to enjoy it. But it would be very helpful if you could stand around leering and whistling so the subject of our experiment could learn what it's like to treated like a piece of meat. The purpose of the exercise is not punishment, it's education. Could we also get a bunch of guys to purchase the punished drinks, and pretend to care about what he has to say or listen to his stories about what cute things his cats do? You know to provide a full education.
Why is that a problem? It's up to China how to handle immigration for their own country.
Ah, the old it's only racist if white people do it. Didn't you get the memo? Everybody has a god given right to move and occupy whatever land/country they want to move to.
Apple is a company well known for having a stable routine of producing new gadgets that will practically print money for them.
No, Apple is now a fashion house and their great leader has died, so there is great uncertainty that the fashion house can still make the great shiny that everyone wants to buy.
The comments on YouTube videos are a plague of idiocy, racism, hate-mongering, astro-turfing...
Something has to be done, no?
Do you have a modest proposal for a final solution?
Umm... Would the name calling gentleman be so kind as to explain, why incidents like this are very rare in countries which do not provide ready access to guns to the general public?
Ah, my good ol' friend correlation does not imply causality. Now, rather than explain anything I'll simply point out that number 4 on the list of gun ownership/capita is Switzerland where incidents like this are rare. So perhaps you would be so kind as to explain why you jump to such glib conclusions as to the cause of this incident.
Metacritic needs to die for the simple fact that the giant steaming pile of monkey shit that is The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion should get a 94. Stories like the above quote just add more reasons for it to disappear. While I never played Oblivion, I recall the buggy mess that was its predecessor Daggerfall, so I understand the feeling. However, metacritic did help illustrate in stark contrast what a racket those gaming publications ratings were vs what the gen. public thought(I'm looking at you steamy pile of shit that was Dragon Age II). As for Chris Avellone, life lesson don't tie your bonus to shit you can't control, as a person who has worked in R&D, you can get burned if your bonus is based on other people's efforts. Btw, loved Fallout New Vegas and the DLCs(but that damn gamebryo engine is a buggy mess), but I am surprised FO:NV only got 84. Oh, shit DA:II has an 82 wtf? Yeah, FO:NV is much better than 84.
Wow, the ladies in the pic look a little young, [Chris Hansen voice]Why don't you take a seat right over there[/Chris Hansen voice]. Also the dude in the picture has the douche tag moustache, so I'll pass thanks. Instead I'd recommend espionage charges for Pvt. Manning, and a long stay at Ft. Leavenworth upon successful conviction.
GM is not a software company. Sure they need to create some system software, but the majority will be bought and then maintained in house.
Prior to the pseudo bankruptcy and bailout by the US govt. GM wasn't a car company, they were a pension management firm that happened to build cars. They also got stuck making money on financing cars not building them. So we'll see how this new focus on bringing everything in-house will improve the quality and appeal of the cars they sell, b/c at the end of the day that's all that really matters.
Define recently? Post WWII? What do you think our fighting in Vietnam was except an interference in a civil war? Or post WWI, the Russian Civil War. Now, more often then not, the world decides to wring its hands b/c interventions into civil conflicts tend to escalate into proxy wars and full blown regional conflicts. Too recent? Look into the history of the CSS Alabama.
if there is anything uglier than vengeance, it is impunity...
No, because eventually all persons die, whereas the cycle of vengeance can continue unabated, ergo impunity is not uglier than vengeance.
You're a company. The fact that any constitutional rights apply to you is because of dirty lawmaking. Kindly screw off. I *hope* you can only piss off the people so much before they realize "Hey, that's pretty dumb." Rights? Verizon should check out the results of Korematsu v. US, Ex parte Quirin, and Kelo v New London, before they start bitching about any rights they may or may not enjoy. And if they piss Congress off, they'll just call it a tax.
It's actually been A/B tested, and continues to be used mainly because it converts the best. There were some experiments this year in rotating in more faces of other Wikipedians, to emphasize the breadth of contributors, but Wales's face still statistically converted best, so it was kept in heavy rotation. What about the young girl w/ the purple scarf? I haven't seen that one in a while. I would imagine she tested quite positively as well.
I know this is a politics article, but can't we go more than five comments before someone starts on libertarians? You'd think it was the new socialism or something!
No, we can't b/c both parts of the statist duopoly(D, R) are most threatened by the libertarians. To the collectivist technocrats, libertarians are evil, greedy, selfish pricks that want to deny the technocrat his confiscatory powers to improve the world. To the puritanical fascists, libertarians are degenerate libertines who want to undo all of civilization. So if there is one thing both Ds and Rs can agree on it's the hate for libertarians. Meanwhile to Joe Sixpack libertarian's are the guys who want to be able to buy liquor on a Sunday, and what's wrong with that?
There is a largely-held perception that Apple's success is due to slick advertising. Where Apple has excelled is in product management as a function of marketing. They have powerfully identified the feature set and price points people will pay for their products. They have accurately forecast demand so that they can leverage volume purchasing of components to keep the price at those acceptable points while building in a healthy profit margin. They are firing on all cylinders, and even a few cylinders nobody thought existed.
Yes, there is a name for when people buy products that in 6 months they will be unhappy with and need to buy the latest trend, fashion. Apple has moved from being a computer company to a fashion house, we shall see how well they(Apple) weather the death of their idea man.
And besides, the President can argue that until he's blue in the face -- without congressional support, it's dead on arrival. Google Korematsu v. United States and then tell me what a president can and can't do through executive orders. Not to mention not all Syrian activists are saints, and not all members of Assad regime are monsters, life is never that simple.
They were sometimes arrogant, often egomaniac, but they were in it for their vision of the future, not for the paycheck and the nice kickbacks from the lobbyists.
Sort of a today Germany, tomorrow the world mentality?Yeah, we will all miss those guys.
Not his insistence that Congress add 2 lines to the NDAA to let him imprison americans without a trial? Not his assassination of 3 american citizens (including a 16 year old child) w/o giving them a constitutional a right to trial? Son, your outrage is 68 years too late. See Ex parte Quirin and Korematsu v. United States for when you should have felt outrage.
