As I got older the thing that worries me the most is not the stupidity of people, that is with us forever, but how easily they are programmed to respond in a singular way to certain stimulus, Pavlovian nightmare.
The way you wrote that I can see you shrugging your shoulders as though it's as common as the Sun coming up, isn't that sort of complacency what got us into Iraq and Afghanistan, the war no one can "win".
It's start "According to the Historical Jewish Press, The Palestine Post was established "as part of a Zionist-Jewish initiative", and "Zionist institutions considered the newspaper one of the most effective means of exerting influence on the British authorities".[4]"
It has a tiny circulation therefore shill rhetoric is the key to increasing visibility.
I am dismayed at Israels constant call for war against Iran when it will be Americans fighting the war not the IDF, I wonder how much war rhetoric they would be spouting if the US didn't back them up.
"I suspect the reason we got Socialism in Europe and a New Deal in the USA is that the politician's handlers realized they were going to get communism if they didn't give ordinary people a bit of a break."
Yeah actually Black Parrot I agree with you there, something had to be done to placate the people during an extremely difficult time or there would have been another civil war.
Personally I don't advocate war as what we will wind with after that will almost surely be worse than what we have, but I'm all for yelling a little louder. I'm surprised OWS is still going, it gives me hope as I was sure that it would only go on for a couple of weeks, they are still yelling loud and you can see how difficult it is to get a coherent message out when the media cherry picks the most ridiculously dressed, inarticulate moron out of the crowd to interview, nothing like a fat guy in a cape with a misspelled sign to throw the whole thing off.
It's there for a reason, I can tell you're very young by your reaction, maybe you should consider the spirit in which that was added, and why it was added, you know prior to shitting your pants.
So we all see it, we all complain about it, but what exactly are we going to do about it?
They wrote the 2nd amendment into the constitution because they knew this sort of thing would happen, what they didn't count on was everyone being so weak, bloated and stupid to actually use it.
The "cloud" analogy always seemed like "newspeak" to me, designed to get the customer to NOT think about where their data is "Don't worry we will take care of it" while their data is sitting on some cheesy server with questionable security practices and the usual disgruntled suspects.
Seriously what next? A service to wipe your ass because you can't be bothered? (note to self research iPhone controlled bidet)
Since it still has to sit on a server somewhere it might as well be your own server then deploy software that makes it accessible to you on the road, in addition how many jobs does this destroy for IT personal, some of the few decent paying jobs left in the USA.
To me the "cloud" is as ridiculous as Facebook, if you're stupid enough to put your data on FB you deserve what you get.

So are the Palestinians but you don't hear much from them, think again.

Wow that already shows up in a Google search pointing to your post, scary stuff...
"It is better to have your people die for our cause, than to let our soldiers die for a lost cause"
Really? Why does Israel have the "loudest voice"?
What party? You brits don't play a significant role any more, the sun has set my friend.
So you want people to be nuked?
What problems are they causing?
jpost is propaganda (well aren't all news media now a days)

Well I did check out your homepage and I think I will go with my original assessment of you.

Voting doesn't work, or didn't you notice after G.W.Bush got "appointed".

Let us all pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that Facebook collapses, it honestly scares me what can be done with all the information.
Agreed, but be sure you understand who is doing the data mining and "psych profiles".

You can shift all your data all you want, the thing you don't get is everywhere you go there YOU are.
Sorry folks had to feed the troll =)
Why? Have you considered you are so accustomed to the way things are done you can't see what is actually wrong with them?
That last one was me on another browser not signed in obviously.
I just wanted to add a little more reading for Ash-can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

Seriously read it, it's a great read.
Multiple GTX card servers in a cluster? So 4 GTX GPU's to a box, and several boxes to the cluster.
So we all see it, we all complain about it, but what exactly are we going to do about it?
