Whoa whoa whoa...stop with the VT bashing.
The truth is, Vermont really is paradise, but we only project things such as high welfare rates, little job growth, unreported crime, etc. to keep those damn flatlanders out of our state.
Since I've been a VT resident my whole life, I've seen the state before it became the welfare-ridden, high-crime (relatively speaking), place that it is today, but until all the flatlanders move out of Burlington, we'll keep up this white trash facade!!!
I'm pretty sure he was referring to the parent post...
This is the worst interview to ever be on slashdot, and I'm even counting the Shatner one.
He doesn't even begin to do a little bit of basic research before replying with "I dont know what that means" to several questions and moving on. He provides no insight into his own personality or character and sounds rather uninteresting.
"Price" doesn't always mean $$$. The price could be your life, your livelihood, the life of a loved one, an award, fame, fortune, power, etc. Perhaps I was being too general when I said everybody had their price. But the sad truth is that most people do have a price, given the circumstances.
Here's a couple links below about the mid-90s Fantastic Four series. I recall watching them on FOX, back to back with Iron Man. IMHO, the early/mid-90s Marvel animated series (X-Men, Spiderman, Iron Man, Fantastic Four) were the best that Marvel has pushed out so far, at least in my lifetime.
The USG has determined that US law concerning the "export" of space technologies applies to all US citizens even if it takes place in another country
The United States government would never meddle in the affairs of other countries...
...oh, wait
But seriously, are you saying the US government has the power to concern itself with the exportation of any space technology, even if the technology originated in Japan, for instance? Or are you saying that it can only concern itself with the exportation of space technology by a US citizen, even if they are in a foreign country?
Who will defend the LiftPort Group's rights to their platform?
Maybe it's the Libertarian in me coming out, but couldn't they defend themselves? I mean, no one government has any jurisdiction on the high seas. But seeing that LiftPort is based out of Washington, and this isn't a "perfect" world, I'd assume that the US government could possibly step in and defend LiftPort if it was ever attacked. Or they could simply tell LiftPort "Hey, you built your project in international waters, and you did not want us involved, so you're screwed!"
But the platform would be built on international waters, and the elevator will reach into space, which no government owns. I don't see why any government should have to get get involved, if the LiftPort Group can get this off the ground without any government help, all the more power to them!
It's the Libertarian Party's desire for a less powerful federal government (or none at all), in addition to the imperialistic and authoritarian actions of the Bush administration that have driven my friends and I toward the Libertarian Party.
Most Americans are too busy or too involved with their own lives (not always a bad thing) to get involved or concern themselves with the goings-on of their government. By indifference and inaction, we're only cutting our own throats!

Freedom is slavery!

"Just because some old lady died they're not going to sue her anymore?
This needs legislation!
Just because you die doesn't mean that you shouldn't be sued!"
I hope you're kidding...
Does Slashdot count as work?
I wish more companies would implement something like this, those fascists SOBs.

Everybody has their price; some are just higher than others.

Mr. Bandarik, assuming the United States government continues its trend, how long do you think it will take before America becomes a police state?
I, for one, welcome our new Libertarian overlords...
...to Compuser, Bandarik, and the LP!
