Public Education is way more expensive than Private, and less effective. Public education is an epic fail.
Public University is a money pit and wasteful. The socialist tuition handouts just increase the cost of education with nothing tangible in return.
So, without public roads, people would just stand around and stare at the walmart across town? You do know there are private roads in America and have been private railroads? All work fine.
Fire can be done via private co-ops or mandated coverage for insurance policies covering mortgages. Easy. Most places traditionally had just a sheriff and used posses to enforce law. See no reason we couldn't go back to that.
Marx called them the lumpen proletariat. Sweden, etc., sterilized and lobotomized them. China, etc., killed them. In the USA, we usually just drug them as kids and put them in prison as adults. We are just more kind like that.
I like your tag line, though... It's ironic.
It's an OS. If they want to quit selling it because people are suing them and they can't make enough money in that arena to warrant fighting the lawsuits, then they should be able to quit selling it. You act as if an OS is some civil right or something.
America spends more per student than most countries in the world, yet the results aren't there. Money, obviously, isn't the problem and throwing money at it won't fix it. I'd much rather my tax money be spent where it could make a difference.
The problems with public education are more symptoms of the problem with American society, not problems with the schools themselves. No amount of money, time, effort, etc. thrown at the schools will change it.
Yes, everyone really loves it when the government creates ineffective bureaucracies that waste tax payers money and don't solve the problem in the least.
I don't really know which I loathe more, the twits that spam or the twits that call any marketing message spam.
What's so weird about tha DMA trying to clean up email marketing? The DMA's probably the most unsung hero of the whole spam mess. I know it's probably too conservative of an idea for the typical slashdotter, but it's corprate responsibility.
The DMA is for anti-spam laws, educates marketers who might just have set up their mailers on ethics of email marketing, etc. The LAST thing they want you to do is feel inconveinenced by a marketing message.
It's the spammers that are threatening legitimate email marketing to the extent that laws are being passed and Joe Public's view of the matter is being crafted by jack asses.
They want the spammers gone so that email marketing can lose the stigma it has aquired and actually be useful to consumer and distributor.
There's nothing weird about it unless you of course are one of those said twits.
and maybe the middle man could be cut out and artists (not record companies that can afford to deal with piracy) could publish their music and recoup the costs to create it? Maybe even motivate them to make more great music and give the "industry" the boot? Honestly, the ONLY reason the "industry" exists is because of the overhead to publishing. DRM solves that and allows for the internet, etc, to be used to distribute content.
I'd gladly give up a bit of "fair use" of backing up my Avirl collection, etc, to actually get some music worth listening to.
So, this guy just "wins" a case against someone for price gouging... then turns around and price gouges, but that's ok, becuse it's MS he's doing it to... Toss this one in the blindly biased bucket.

All of those can and have been.

They aren't trying for a patent on translucent windows, Mr. MacQuicktotype.
