Don't worry, I'm sure our lovely government spending plan will provide them plenty of your tax dollars. Tax dollars paying for a for profit initiatives (or for-loss initiatives like the postal service, amtrak, airline subsidies, etc), but that's another rant.
I just created Web 4.0, it's all magic. The cloud is gone in Web 4.0. It has become a fog. Go to the fog. It will really obscure your view of anything real.
Wonder if I'll get funding?
As for the article, what a load of BS. These social sites only have value because eyeballs are watching them and nothing more. Once the eyeballs go away, so does their value. Much like a highly watched TV show. When it's hot actors and the stations get $$$$. Once it jumps the shark, they get canceled. For if anything holds true, Facebook too will jump the shark one day.
Really? Across the board? Please do provide some more information on all these defense budget cuts. We do spend more than the rest of the world combined on that so it seems a pretty safe place to start cutting. Nuclear is not renewable, you are burning the matter of dead stars, there is a limited supply of such stuff. It is still an excellent choice for baseload power though, if reprocessing of spent fuel was legal.
I live in Western NY, wind power is huge here. We keep putting them up and selling power to the eastern seaboard.
Well, it looks as though Health and Human services spend more then the Defense Budget: http://www.federalbudget.com/
So I start cutting there. The Defense Budget has already started a movement to trim 10% of the their budget. Let's see H&H do that. Or how about Social Security (Which isn't part of the federal budget, but agencies can 'borrow' against the Social Security trust, it's a broken system of spending).
This is really a political/social issue of what to cut. One side says Social Services, while the other screams Defense cuts. And nothing gets cut. It's a stale mate and we the tax payers are all going to lose and have been on the losing end. And it doesn't help when States can't keep their own budgets in line and then ask the Fed for $$ to solve their issues. Or the amount of subsidies out there are way too much as well.
The real bitch of it is, when these cuts happen (they should one way or another), does anyone really think that our taxes are going to go down? And the Govt should never have a large surplus of cash on hand once the budget is taken care of. They are not a for profit business.
Mr Reeves is not a sequel whore; far from it. While he did Matrix 2 and 3 (as it was part of an intended trilogy). I actually can't think of a sequel he's done *except* for the Matrix series. He's notably turned down Constantine 2, Speed 2, a 3rd Bill & Ted movie... he's actually more brave with movie selections than many A list movie stars.
Keanu really can't act very well. As long as his only lines are "Whoa!" and "I am an FBI Agent!" Then he will be fine.
"No I'm not - but by choosing to join the military you are supporting 'preemptive murder'."
This statement is so flawed I don't know where to begin. You obviously have no real idea why folks chose to join the Armed Forces. There are numerous relief missions that take place every year. Believe it or not, the military does help people regardless of your narrow, and incorrect, view.
Secondly, based upon the above statement, if you pay your Federal Income Taxes, then you support it as well.
For the record, it's the policy that dictates mission. Period. Showing off the 'cool toys' that the military has at their disposal to keep themselves and other safe during a mission is not glorifying.
Unless the parent aimed that 4 year old at the old lady, there wasn't anyone responsible. A 4 year old simply doesn't have the brain complexity to form a criminal level of intent.
#1 This is not a criminal case.
#2 You underestimate the cognitive capabilities of children
Okay, a pair of four year olds on their bikes. Accidentally hit an old lady.
And they're going to sue the four year olds?
Okay guys. It really IS time to kill all the lawyers.
*Grabs a gun*
What if it wasn't accidental? That will be determined. I too hate the litigious nature of folks now days, but sometimes it may be the only way to have others take responsibility for themselves.
To quote the judge, and I agree with it.
"A parent's presence alone does not give a reasonable child carte blanche to engage in risky behavior such as running across a street," Wooten wrote. He added that "the term 'supervising' is too vague to hold meaning here."
And the fastest social and economic downturn is in America...coincidence?
Yeah, but this is just their firewall. Wait until you see the systems behind it.
As for the China's climb to the top, everyone hated U.S. policies were the big dog. Well, I hope those folks enjoy the ride down, cause it will not be pretty. I'd rather be on the top of the hill and hated, then be nice and shit all over.
The widespread use of loopholes by companies/"rich" people always really pissed me off. They constantly complain so much of their wealth is being taken, yet they pull crap like this.
I would bet you that if my wife and I tried to do something similar, we would almost certainly be "caught". I don't know if loopholes are due to the complexity of the system, or because the big guys can afford to pay folks who know how to exploit them...but regardless of the reason, it's fucked up.
I don't know. If I have a stock pile of cash, I would be pissed as well if _ANYONE_ forced me to give up 35% of my wealth earned every year.
Just to put another spin on it, if you base your purchases by the level of return you get, you too would be pissed if you had to give up millions of dollars when your Govt give you back nothing near what you put in. Alas, the Govt gives you many tax breaks with the promise to continue to build industry of some kind in the US to support US jobs. Tax breaks can be used to promote economic growth. (I'm sure we've heard this from someone before......)
but SEE SOMETHING ELSE. Don't punish the theater owners by withholding business, but show Lucas that he is done fisting our childhoods.
Yeah, because Hollywood is always releasing new and original material for the viewing audience. Hollywood has run out of ideas and to cut costs they just reboot movies over and over pulling flicks from the 30's on up.
I wonder if this means Oracle will ruin another decent product line by buying NetApp. This sounds more like pre-negotiation to me. Why waste money on a lawsuit when you can just buy the company.
It's not the United State of America, it's the United States of America--indicating that each one has a level of sovereignty, and people should be identified by that smaller area.
Obviously you've been away over the last 30+ years as the Federal Government has pushed it's influence into each State's laws and ruling parties, giving folks the illusion of having State sovereignty.
Same here,/. is as social as I get. I guess that could be considered by some as sad. Those attention whore social sites annoy the hell out of me. Hmmm, I guess I'm anit-social and therefore could be considered a threat. You just can't be left alone.

It's obviously ok for Greenpeace to use it to get their message out in PDF?
Why don't they write it on fallen leaves and let the wind carry their message around.

You may have chosen to close your account, but they still have your data.
Solar and wind already cost less per KW than nuclear. I'd call that ready.
It's not the cost per KW that's the problem. It's reliability and volume. And please cite your reference.
I had someone block the domain since they thought it was "expert sex change."

He said it was destroyed in a shed fire. He must have left it near a window in the shed. Now that's funny.

Besides which, I’d need a girlfriend first.

Does any Nation actually listen to the UN?
And of course, the American people collectively took it up the ass during the 8 years he was there.
Not that any of that has changed much... maybe now they're getting a reach-around?
That would be considered a benefit and have to be taxed to support the medical care for the amount of carpal tunnel as a result of said ass poundings.
at the first, and so far, only post on the site:
"Digitally remastered = digitally re-faked"

I guess Sauron should have thought of this.

But he understands the psychology behind selling vaporware.

That's a sucker's question. Cable TV is $100/month and you still see ads. There is no end to the greed.
You also go to movies and see ads before the movie and product placement throughout the movie.
Yeah no photos of me ... no Facebook account!
