But let me guess, the diamond river is running beneath the holy-land of a civilization of blue creatures, who will need to be eliminated using Blackwater mercenaries?
He is not insulting these janitor jobs. He is making the important point that neither STEM workers nor janitors have job security -- but there is a difference here. Janitors dont have to go to school for four years, constantly train in the latest technology, etc etc.
Q: Do you know what an EULA is?
A: Meow
Q: You know, those end user license agreements you have to accept when you buy or download certain software?
A: Meow
Q: If you built a device that would allow a cat to accept an EULA, would you be legally bound by the EULA?
A: Meow
Q: What if you got a small child to accept the agreement, would they not be bound because of their age?
A: Meow
Q: Do EULA's violate any sort of doctrine of first sale since they require you to agree to the license after you've bought the product and limit what you've gotten if you don't agree to it?
A: Meow
Low capital gains taxes create jobs and wealth. OK, why then, after eight years of capitalist policies and low taxes, do we have record unemployment and why is my 401k half of what it was before? Why hasn't the S&P moved an inch since Bill Clinton left office?
Seems like low-tax theories show up everywhere except in investment returns.
Hmm...this is news to me. So do some printers' prints last longer than other printers' prints? I'm curious what service you would suggest. I make hard-photo copies of everything, but I never gave thought to the life of these photos!
If people cared enough, they would reach out to their lawmakers and have such a law passed. California's laws were a start, but we have a ways to go. I have reached out to my representatives, but clearly it isnt a priority for most, or we'd already have laws.
There's a very important difference between pre-flight safety searches (applies to any flight, domestic or international) and customs searches (applies to any means of entering the country). You are mistaken -- this has nothing to do with safety. These customs searches have three goals:
1 - to find drugs/guns, things that arent harmful to flights but are harmful to our nation
2 - to show people their place -- to make a statement that we can and will do what we want and you must bow your head, grin, and bear it
3 - to make travel so excessively humiliating and expensive to minorities and disliked groups (e.g. ACLU) that they stop traveling, and suffer economically/socially for their background or political beliefs
I guess you didnt see my other response. Magic Johnson has publicly had AIDS for almost 17 years now (likely longer, but he/we didnt had not diagnosed it yet.) With treatment, AIDS easily lasts for well over 15yrs. Secondly, why are you dwelling on the 10 year figure. How about we reduce it to 3 years and make the example suit your fancy?
The overall message you are trying to convey is one that should be taken very seriously, but these two examples are pretty poor.
Example 1a: Buy the book with cash. Don't buy anything on credit/debit that you don't want traced back to you.
Example 2a: Who as AIDS (not just HIV, full AIDS) for over 10 years? I was always under the assumption that AIDS victims didn't last longer than 5 years.
Having to unnecessarily change all their online habits is exactly what people shouldn't have to do (if they even know better.)
I think people clearly see the danger of this beacon feature abstractly. But like me provide two examples that may show the problems in more context:
Example 1: Man buys book "How to Quit Your Job and get a Better Job for Dummies". His employer sees it on his profile and passes on the man for a job promotion, why promote someone who is looking to quit.
Example 1a: Same as above but man was buying the book for a friend unhappy with job. Man wanted his friend to find a job as enjoyable as his own.
Example 2: Man buys a book "Surviving AIDS" for a college project. His neighbors now think he has AIDS.
Example 2a: Man gets AIDS 10 years later. Denied for treatment by health insurance company as a pre-existing condition, based on his purchasing the book 10 years ago.
I don't mind tax cut, but as fiscal conservative I do mind spending money we do not have. McCain budget, recently unveiled, cuts taxes but also involves a deficit of 200 billion per year. Unfortunately he also proposes to continue many of Bush's programmes. This means that even if income/sales taxes are low, there is a HIGH tax via inflation (c/o printing money, borrowing from abroad) a VERY HIGH tax on future generations (c/o the ever-growing national debt) and finally a very high tax on society (c/o pollution, structural breakdowns, overtaxed armed forces, deterioration of educational system, etc.)
OK, lets continue. $50k/year after taxes would be ~ 38k (if you live in a high tax state and/or city, even less.) Health insurance for a family is about $1000/mo if you aren't going through a group plan, so now you are down to $26k/year. (And this is all assuming you can actually get 5% yield consistently on your money.)
Now, you can easily live on $26k in Charlotte NC or low-cost but still nice areas. There are even cute women if you are single. But forget NYC or SF ($70k is poverty level for living in NYC.)
Reminds me of Maddox. I check his page almost everyday for updates and get angry every time he hasn't posted new content. I only abstain from complaining due to fear of having my email posted!
Speaking as another American quite alarmed at the pace our good soceity is sinking into 3rd world nation status (financially, intellectually, rights-wise), I beg to differ. Many people in the US may be against what is happening here, but dont feel too strongly about it. Just because you dont support something doesnt means you wouldnt support it for something of more value. So people in the south, who have traditionally been all for civil rights, have suddenly torn the Bill of Rights to shreads in exchange for GOP positions against gay marriage. Do thy want rights? Yes, but they want gay marriage banned even more. If the number of people who protest abortions and gay marriage were ever matched by the number of people who protest civil rights, we'd have Habeus Corpus (http://www.aclu.org/safefree/detention/habeastimeline.html) back very quickly.
Sure, lets not think outside the box. But here is a better alternative to both T2-like tanks and carpet bombing -- not creating militants in the first place. I'd wager 95% of the militants in Iraq for example were *created* when the US went in, destroyed the infrastructure, and all starved the population via food and medicine sanctions (http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2000/mar/04/weekend7.weekend9)
I highly doubt we are speaking about mass internet outages. Likely, the blockages will affect vocal civil rights organizations (ACLU-types), hated minorities (Arabs, Muslims, etc.) and others disliked by the current ruling party. Doubt me? My management consulting career essentially ended as 1hr flights started taking upwards of 3hours just to print boarding passes. You cant fly from city to city if you are spend 3hours trying to print your boarding pass (in the worst case, it was 5hours + 12hours waiting for the next flight.) Laptops are confiscated never to be returned. The careers of dozens of law abiding minorities suddenly ended in 2003 and 2004 as these policies were instated. But being a white, you wouldn't know anything has changed. I'm sure it will be the same thing with websites.
Since you argued that not a single Muslim protested 9-11, then yes, i would have to counter with a wildly hyperbolic statement that I made. Cut-n-paste your neo-Nazi literature somewhere else. Do some web searches and you'd find plenty of Muslims condemned 9-11. We also condemn neo-Nazi's like yourself.

And Obama thinks it will take 10 whole years!

Wow...that would get messy. Could they force a divorce?
According to those science shows back in the 1980s like Beyond Tomorrow, your personal jetpack should be available...by...2005!
While we are on the topic -- how is lobbying different from Bribery?
Finally a rational explanation for the 2004 presidential elections!

Try using that as a defence. It will go way over the typical jury's head.

Magic Johnson went public with his HIV+ status in 1991.
