Indeed, I do not prefer monarchy. I prefer a system that works, where people can take risks and make decisions backed up by data. There are both government agencies and areas of the private sector where this occurs but we should strive ever forward and our goal should be smarter decisions balancing risk and reward with as little standing in the way of good decision making as possible.
There are a lot of smart people in government and usually the fewer people involved in a decision the better the decision will be. None of us is as dumb as all of us and Congress is a committee of 528 people. I have a hard enough time getting five people to decide on anything at work much less a Byzantine committee of 538 preening attention whores who are legally allowed to take bribes to stay in power.
Right, because I'm sure people will waste space on their phone for an app for each of their elected representatives.
He wasted the fee to create the app and the fee to get it into the App Store.
You mean like when he originally released his birth certificate that serves as valid ID anywhere else? That actually happened. What then followed was two years of people saying he needed to go even further than anybody else and release a "long form" certificate that nobody else needs to submit.
Somehow this became a claim that a birth certificate wasn't released when it's simply not true. Thanks for being gullible enough to repeat it, though.
This rant is loaded with statements that aren't factual but serve the libertarian view of what is wrong with American businesses. Inflation is quite low because quantitative easing is doing less to inflate the money supply than deflationary pressures are doing to deflate it. When a house is foreclosed on that's money that's being destroyed. The same when houses or stock lose value. The poor economy and lack of jobs is also causing people to hold off on purchases and lower demand causes lower prices (oversimplified). Giving companies tax breaks when they offshore is counterproductive to creating or retaining jobs but the Chamber of Commerce that used money from unknown sources to run ads against Democrats this election wants those tax breaks because it's "business friendly" and businesses want to offshore.
China is still a communist nation and you deal with government corruption and lack of intellectual property laws (the enforcement of which, by the way, is paid for from our taxes and corporate taxes (if they're ever paid)).
Also, only people with a crap ton of money can set up a hedge fund. Who's going to trust a mom and pop hedge fund in the strip mall by a laundromat? Some things just have a high barrier of entry naturally and hedge funds are definitely one of them. That's kind of a no brainer.
I live in Texas and drive a motorcycle year round and it sounds like ass to me. Sweating your nuts off in the middle of summer is awful. Besides, isn't that just a selfish view of it all? Couldn't you maybe get away from yourself and look at how people everywhere would be affected by a warming climate?
I play another EA game that has free components (BattleForge) and I'm always worried that they're going to shut it down because it's not making enough money. There are a lot of Free 2 Play people on and I sometimes wish they were spending just a bit more money since I understand about costs of keeping up servers and releasing new cards (it's a trading card RTS). So I can't blame EA too much for trying to snag a little revenue out of one of their investments. In BF there's a market for trading gold, which is earnable in maps, for BattleForge points. I think there's a good balance there but it's not perfect yet.
C# in a Nutshell is great for this. It doesn't have the ADO.Net stuff but ADO.Net recipes is good for that. I've borrowed both from the library in Austin so I didn't shell out the combined $100 for them.

He had an hour to play and then Bethesda kicked him off the system. That's why.
Are you fucking serious or is this a semi clever troll? PageRank???

Ethnic people are usually a shade of brown.
Blaming the GPU for something the BIOS has the most to do with. #rootcausefailure
http://www.youtube.com/user/PomplamooseMusic Not really.
I just want to say thanks. I'm the web guy who owns GPUs at AMD and you just linked to one of my pages on Slashdot. That's frigging awesome.

Next year for me. I'm below average...
I guess they are supposed to been teenagers too.
Both of your replies were excellent. I wish I could have modded them both up.
Progressives have nothing to answer for this. She failed to use federal government power to block a merger. She didn't use power that she should have.
Seems that someone who spouts inane tripe like yours should be subject to questions about whether they're too ignorant for political discussions.

Getting the full source is hard. A misleading headline and a blurb that's out of context is all we need to get sand in our vaginas!
Social security isn't insolvent. You may be awake but it sure hasn't made you any less ignorant.
Same here. I felt bad for not having business cards but I got about five of them.

Nvidia just released a slower card at the same price point than a card that ATI has had out for months. This is huge and amazing and stuff.
Please allow me to complement you on your straw man argument. Well done.
