What's sick is that we simply put up with this crap
There's a logical problem here. If we're rich and corporate then we're obviously profitting so the "putting up with" isn't so tough. If we're neither rich nor corporate then we have no clout to change the laws. My litmus test is: can I withhold any portion of my tax paycheck? Go ahead and take the part needed for roads, electricity, running water, and a defensive local military. Anything after that should be voluntary.
We used to have sayings like "taxation without representation" and whatnot
Then the trolls come in to tell us how we are represented, and how if we really cared we should get up and do something about it...
I like googling for "Enron Executive" and then add any number at the end. For example, "enron executive 5" will turn up the reports that only 5 Enron executives were ever found guilty. Enron executive 186 makes allusions to the number of Representatives who were allegedly bribed. There's an "enron exutive" with 190-something which reports the total number of Enron executives who were served with court summons.
Martha is definitely the decoy. To think that, with five Enron execs convicted, there are still 180-some rich guys with high-priced lawyers who are probably running a slightly modified (and legal) scam on our investment dollars. And they're just the tip of the iceberg.
Let's say you've got 10 70 year olds and 1 20 year old in the jungle. The 70 year olds are too old to do things for themselves, and the 20 year old can't provide for all the 70 year olds by himself.
1) Darwinism 2) Social security sure is a pyramid doomed to fail, isn't it?
It's entirely not my fault that the pyramid scheme of government has to give out free money in order to appear benevolent so as to hoodwink fools like yourself.
You don't know what a "Suzuki coupling" is, and neither does 95% of the population.
But google for "Suzuki coupling" and you'll find it's the first link. Yet you still don't have a fricking clue what it means. If I were to beat you across the head with "Suzuki Coupling", I'd have you aced six ways to Sunday.
For example. Can you perform a Suzuki Coupling on a pinacol ester, and, if so, what is the leaving group?
Trivia does not lend credibility. The "cohort component method", and the cited report from the Japanese gov't is a troll.
Here's a trivia question: What's the difference between castration and meatal stenosis?
HINT: Meatal stenosis was an abhorrent insurance scam brought on by profit-driven market pseudo-science which mutilated many American men (including me).
Yeah. Everyone wants something for nothing. Your average citizen wants a free meal. Your average CEO wants a free lifetime. I guess it's all about perspective. We'll just keep paying ridiculous tax rates amd counter prices to support corporate welfare (Toyota has divisions which contribute to American SIGs and political campaigns just like anyone else) while they whine about "labor shortage".
For your information, you can read about the cohort component method here
And yet... no one else in the world would know about it. You must work particularly in that field, using terminology which one would not even THINK to find in the general public... which means you're trolling.
The fact is, it is a reality that is looming for many nations, including the United States
You forget the sanity check. The reality is that there's a shortage of people willing to do a song and dance in order to get a meal.
In nature there is never a "labor shortage". As long as you have people, you have people who are willing to work for their next meal. That's called self-preservation. You and user #173 can stuff it.
Now, once the fat rich queers, who've never had to work a day in their life, wish to continue to withhold their almighty currency until they're properly entertained, then they call it a "labor shortage". Perhaps, if they were half as intelligent as they fancy themselves to be, they'd figure out a way to keep the song-and-dance a little closer to the dinner plate.
If there's ever a "labor shortage", it's most certainly a sign of severe mismanagement. It cannot be a fact of nature.
BTW... funny how you cite a report and get mod points, and I cite a paragraph from the report to ask "what is the cohort component method" and get a troll.
How about you take you, and all of your other/. accounts with mod points, and shove them collectively so far up your sphincter that you end up with dysentary? How's that?
Well gosh darn. Who'd-a-thunk-it. I mention something about the worldwide fact that the population is rising, and someone I don't even know comes out of nowhere with a little known fact to show that, in Japan, there's a report which makes a projection that by 2050, the population will decrease.
If you read the report, they project that the population will continue to increase to 2006 and then decrease back to current size by 2013. That gives 1-8 years for factors to change.
Who the heck are you that you even know of this report? Are you a Japanese consulate? Perhaps you're some statistician someplace playing insurance numbers?
I don't care. You and your network of trolls (yes, even at user number 173) can get bent.
Take this for example: 2. Method of Projection The cohort component method is used for this projection, as with the previous report. This method takes into consideration international migration while calculating the ages of the existing population using the future life table. It also uses the future fertility rate to calculate future births and obtain the number of survivors for the population that is expected to accrue. Five items, (1) base population, (2) future survival rate, (3) future fertility rate, (4) future sex ratio at birth, and (5) future international migration numbers (rates), are required to project the population using the cohort component method.
I'd have hope if I could agree. However, the strength of corporations led by the American stock market figures strongly against the chances of another nation gaining worldwide financial dominance.
Besides, if they become strong enough where they can tell the American stock market interests to bugger off, we'll simply invade them. I'm still waiting for marshall law to be imposed on Redmond. That'll happen the moment that political contributions begin to significantly cut into quarterly profits. Currently our politicians are way too cheap. I'm not an advocate of them being more expensive. Personally, I think the moral thing for them to do is release all the legal victories and powers they've given the industry and retire.
I don't think an alcohol subsidy which was brought from SIGs counts the same as moving a good portion of infrastructure to vehicles capable of running on 85% ethanol blends. I could be wrong.
Do economists actually use this term? I like it but it sounds like it'd be making the pyramid scheme of the whole government system a little too obvious for their (usual) tastes.
That's the first Wikipedia entry I've ever read that I actually enjoyed--ie. it wasn't loaded with subjective opinions. Thanks.
For all the grief the US people give Canada, they're really kicking our butts on the reality checks. The lobbyists and SIGs would have the US tied in knots trying to move any significant bulk of vehicle fleet to something like this.
At least I think so. I'm sure someone will find some obscure example of some community in CA that does it...
After being labelled a "troll" I took the time out to read the remainder of the.pdf. I guess that makes you a troll because you used an insult to initiate an action.
They discuss CBL and ancillary products and services. The paper is a collection of ideas to preserve a lucrative revenue stream. I see no reason why that lucrative revenue stream should be preserved. Remove the stops, remove the controls, remove the supports, and let the industry sink-or-swim the way the rest of us do.
you would know that even the slightest distraction or problem in the cockpit
Like _that's_ never happened before. No more sex while flying, or drinking while flying, or listening to the radio while flying, or waving to the people on the ground. No more aerial barrel rolls, since flying itself is obviously much too demanding to think about the distraction of flying upside-down.
He endangered everyone in the air and on the ground
No, he didn't. According to this link, a similar laser has an approximate range of 9000 feet. The article said the pilots were at 3000 feet in altitude when they were supposedly blinded. Assuming that the plane is nosediving at 45 deg for a landing, that puts the pilots 4200 feet away which is about half the effective range. Factor in the power dispersion and all else...
No one was endangered. This article, the prosecutor, the FBI, the pilots, and the local police are 100% pure hype.
I hope they drive this guy to the end of his wits and he ends up rampaging with a bulldozer throughout their entire city. This whole thing is really that stupid.

to /.?
Is there some pun for sake embedded in there?
a looming labor shortage
The population is always decreasing. I want some of this stuff the execs are smoking.
Whenever I hear the words "well-known phenomenon" in reference to anything other than things taught in grade school, I'm instantly suspicious.
I'd have hope if I could agree. However, the strength of corporations led by the American stock market figures strongly against the chances of another nation gaining worldwide financial dominance.

I'm a Linux zealot, I admit it.
But, well, no MS exploit is strictly a "remote root exploit" unless it's a local process running with admin privs.
So... take this exploit along with any known exploit (say, libXpm or libtiff) on a user's web browser and you have a remote root exploit.
