No, they don't. Ron and Rand have a distorted view of a modern economy. They believe that a totally free market will remain totally free. It won't. Exhibit number #1: Microsoft. Their monopoly isn't going anywhere because government won't stop their abuses. Exhibit number #2: the oil cartel before anti-monopoly legislation broke them up. Exhibit #1: Bernie Madoff, with a toothless SEC under Bush, he ruined hundreds of people. The list goes on.
A free market doesn't just happen mystically. It requires the rule of law to be maintained. People are ingenious, they will do anything to game a system including a free market. The Mafia is testament to that.
Okay, they were going to attack the U.S. How were they to do this? What specifically was the U.S. to protect against? You might have noticed that the U.S. is a large country with a lot of infrastructure. Right now your evidence is more along the lines of the aliens are visiting earth.
So did Prograph, now morphed into semi-comatose Marten. It is an object-oriented data -flow language. I quite liked it. I don't know if it makes programming easier or programs easier to understand, but had a very credible view of how to build apps.
It won't be fraud that sinks the budget, it will be demographics. The Tea Party, and their fellow travelers, the Libertarians, want the Democrats to be responsible for reining in entitlements so that the Democrats get de-elected. Mind you they have the right idea that entitlements do need to be scaled back, but they are ball-less freaks about taking any responsibility for it. The other thing they want is less government because government does things they don't like such as environmental rules, etc... Put quickly, the fact that one single person defrauds the fed. gov. is enough to cut everyone off gov. assistance. And in their eyes, we do not have to worry about the environment because Jesus is just around the corner and will save them (not us) just before we completely bone ourselves.
However, most especially, Tea Party and the Libertarians, want to defund Science. The Tea Party wants to defund Science because it prevents the Tea Party from just making shit up without anything to compare to. And that hits the core of what it means to be a Tea Party member, the ability to think that if you believe something hard enough, then it becomes true...a bit like Dorothy is told in the Wizard of Oz, except they aren't in Kansas and they really do believe that. The Libertarians want to defund Science cause they believe that Science is done by geeky little people working in their garage and that it will magically spring forth unbidden to bestow untold riches upon the huddled masses. They also would like to sell you some swamp land in Florida if you have the cash.
The U.S. government couldn't reasonably ask U.S. business to leave China. First, they don't give a rat's ass whether its China or India, and second, U.S. companies don't give a rat's ass about what country the U.S. government thinks deserves their investment. And if the U.S. government tried to do such a thing, they could expect to spend the next 5 years in court litigating the proposal.
Well, cut Republicans some slack. They cannot simply support science because it stops them from just making shit up...well, it doesn't stop them but it does hold up a competing standard.
And the Jews were carted off by by the Babylonians and forced out by the Romans, they weren't given a choice. And when Islam took over, that peaceful religion, all other religions were persecuted to varying degrees that changed over time. Go ask Saudi Arabia to set up a Christian church and see how far you get. So yeah, the Palestinians are the ones who were left standing after helping to chase out the others.
All the states in the mid-east are illegitimate, their boundaries were drawn by the colonial powers. They aren't really countries so much, except for Israel, as they are containers for tribes and sects. Oh, and by the way, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem became a gruppen-fuhrer in Hilter's Nazi Germany. He had his own squad of SS in Balkans rounding up Jews for extermination and hoped to export that little policy gem to the Mid-East.
You left out that the result of American military aid is that their armed forces are now dependent on the U.S. This gives the U.S. leverage to tell them to knock it the fuck off when they start getting in each other's business. In short, they have to keep the peace or they won't have much to fight with.
Yes, but one doesn't start a new technology and expect it to be immediately commercially sensible, that's why the government funded it. The Point was to start somewhere and learn enough so that the next generation will be better, and so on. Let's guess, you built your first program, someone told you it was crap, and you stopped there.
Noooooo....if they mated, they'd produce Satan's offspring more terrible than either of them alone. No, I think it best if we send them to private islands on different planets.
Nah, it caught on because you could do simple stuff simply without whacking away in C or C++ and that it was cross platform at a time when attempting to do cross platform development usually meant you had to shell out for proprietary pile of stuff which locked you in. Java was good for backends as well where you had a lot of horse power to apply to its programs. Java was also good for universities to use in teaching programming, not that it made for good teaching.
Sun had a marketing dept? What were they marketing?
Oracle has too many of its tools built around Java in the browser to let it go. Redoing them would be expensive, their customers would scream bloody murder if Oracle attempted to shake them down for development using...what...Javascript?
What's really abhorrent was a Muslim preacher in Saudi Arabia (there being not one of another kind allowed) got 5 years and 600 lashes for beating his 5 year old daughter to death because he claimed she was "defiling" herself with sex.
"Al-Ghamdi's daughter, Lama, was admitted to King Saud Hospital in Riyadh in March 2012 after suffering extensive injuries, including broken ribs, a crushed skull, bruising and burns. Family, activists and officials say she died of her wounds in late October last year.
Several activists and numerous local media had reported that Lama was also raped, but her mother denied that happened. Ali said that Lama's father was concerned about the virginity of his 5-year-old daughter.
"The father confessed to the abuse, the beating and torturing Lama in the most obnoxious manners," she said last February. One thing she said he did was to burn Lama's rectum.
"These are not some unfounded accusations, but everything is based on the medical examination by the hospital and the team of physicians who treated Lama when she was first admitted," she said." (http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/07/world/meast/saudi-arabia-girl-death/index.html)
8 years...600 lashes for beating a young girl to death because Allah made him do it. This Allah guy, WTF? Sharia Law is Bullshit.
No, just read the reports about MS in Fords. Ford may have been stupid enough to drink the Kool-Aid once, I gotta think they know very well right now just about how useless MS Malware can be.
You don't understand the cost of the Federal Gov. Last I checked, wages and such cost approximately $88 Billion/year (http://blogs.marketwatch.com/capitolreport/2013/10/01/send-furloughed-federal-workers-home-for-good-wont-save-much-money/) and that's from the discretionary side. Grandma, disability, medicaid, medicare, etc. is 2/3 of the approx. $3.8 trillion budget. So while much of the government (I would argue the effective part) is on furlough, Grandma is not, and boy will she be pissed if the pols put her on furlough. There'll be an army of blue haired retired people tar and feathering members of Congress, I'm stockpiling buckets of tar and old feather pillows for the event.
Yes, but in A-L's case, they made the mistake of Carly Fiorina. She did what a lot of companies did, she lent money to her customers to buy Lucent stuff. Alcatel was incredibly blind to buy Lucent. After 3 years at L, Carly gave H-P the kiss of death, her being a serial failure.
NIH, NSF, EPA...care to tell us why these organizations are great? Or does greatness need some sort of external threat to define itself so that your logic can be completely circular?

Hey, maybe MS could get Rick Perry to run it. They have similar philosophies of believing of chimeras.
Ever listen to Ron Paul and Ted Cruz defend their religious beliefs? They are raging evangelicals.
No, they don't. Ron and Rand have a distorted view of a modern economy. They believe that a totally free market will remain totally free. It won't. Exhibit number #1: Microsoft.

Unless interest rates spike, then the U.S. will have a hard time covering that debt and that will cause the deficit to spike.
