Yeah, look at all the those fascist European states. Why, they're goose-stepping through Hyde Park as we speak. Imagine, wanting to keep the working poor from dying due to a lack of health coverage. Positively immoral.
The intensive form of direct democracy introduced via working groups is about the furthest thing from a "lack of focus" I have seen amongst strangers communicating in a public forum, ever.
You'd sound a lot more convincing if you were wearing a turtleneck sweater, smoking a joint and following that statement with "And only through free love can we hope to obtain the government we deserve."
I think the protests have got a little too big to be simply dismissed as merely a bunch of professional protesters.
My problem is that I still have absolutely no idea what they want. Even the Tea Party, as malign and foul a movement as it is, at least has a basic common set of demands. I gather the protesters are against income disparity, but other than that it's all mishmash and mumbo jumbo.
I think the lot of them are ignorant self-defeating halfwits, myself. Populist movements are usually populated by people too fucking stupid to know they're demanding the branch they sit on be cut down.
Actually the Tea Party is populated by worse than that. Look at all those Baby Boomers all but demanding Medicare and Social Security be gutted for the next generation as they happily enjoy the benefits of it. At best, they're selfish morons, at worst they're evil sociopaths. But then again, Lilbertarianism in all its forms has always attracted nasty, selfish people.
Newt would be in favor of kicking old ladies in the head if he thought he could ingratiate himself with Republicans again. The guy is a malicious hypocrite.
Or, you need the opposing party to pick a lunatic. With the Tea Party and the religious conservatives in the GOP trying to smash Romney to bits at every opportunity, the possibility that the Republicans may in fact deliver Obama is victory cannot be discounted.
Stallman could have, if he had sense of decency, kept his mouth shut for a few weeks. To start attacking the man days after he died doesn't further any cause, and makes Stallman, and the FSF by extension, look like immature mean-spirited twats.
But those of us who have followed Stallman's career know very well that he is an astounding asshole whose best days were two decades ago.. There's no doubt that Jobs' walled-garden concept is at odds with the FSF, and I'm no fan of it, but I do believe people have the right to spend their money where they want, and if they want to spend it on iPhones and iPads, then so be it. It isn't any of Stallman's business.
Well yes. There are always people with such low self-esteem that marketing that plays at their pathetic need to perpetually hip or cool will succeed with spades. Witness the success of Starbucks, which makes some of the worst coffee I've ever tasted, and yet all the hipster doofuses line up to get their dog vomit crapachinos because "I look kewl..."
I'm never sure what to make of a statement like this. Are there people outside of insane asylums who think that Apple has some sort of a lock on any market?
I don't see that at all. If it had been purely Thatcherite, Hacker would have been this brilliant fellow. Instead the series both Hacker and Sir Humphrey were vain and often very foolish men. I don't think anything pro-Thatcher would have shown a Minister or Prime Minister as a bit of a bumbling fool.
No kidding. Has this vile assclown never heard of RFCs? I built an SMTP proxy years ago to shore up an aging and insecure Windows-based SMTP server based solely on RFC 2821. The standard Internet protocols are probably among the best documented protocols I've ever seen.
It's been present on pretty much all browsers of any note since the late 1990s. Love it or hate it, Javascript stopped being a fad a decade ago, and has so much momentum now that unless you want to give up web development, you'd better just man up about it.
Oh give me a break. When Vista first came out all sorts of people were noticing battery life decreased substantially. Linux is hardly alone in the "WTF is causing that" department.
We're talking about basic physics here. There's no way those steel beams could put off a sufficiently large magnetic field to do what is being claimed. The homeowners are either fucking retards or liars. Period.
Well, to be fair, it was Napster, Kazaa, Limewire and Bittorrent that scared the living crap out of the music industry and Apple was there at the gate to go "Now there there, Mr. Music Industry, yes you've been horribly ass-raped by the pirates. Just give us a big discount on your material, and we'll sell it legit."

Hey, what the hell. It's Microsoft. They've spent the last quarter century lying about other companies' products.

No! We need more money for foreign wars, keeping Wall Street afloat and Congressional pork!

Except that's not actually a definition of treason.
You won't find a bigger critic of the Tea Party than me, but calling them traitors is absurd.

I'm not sure what alternate reality you live in, but in the one we live in, Reagan ballooned the debt.
We hurt the ones we like the most.
I thought Murdoch was a US citizen?
Not to mention that apparently, according to some Republican supporters, he's got God on his side.

Oh my goodness, you mean blacklists don't work? My oh my, I don't think anybody ever thought of that before...

And sadly has never been present for most judges and juries. This has got to be the most idiotic and trivially falsifiable claim I've ever seen.
