The only way for the weak not to be the bitches of the strong is for the weak to not have anything the strong want (or hide it very very well), and thereby become ignored.
Doesn't necessarily follow. There's a chance that the strong might also be nice. Ok, it's an outside chance, but it's there.

The Beatles themselves as a group have 4 good names to cash in on.
Would those names be John, Paul, George and whoever the first drummer was?
I'm jealous. That's so much better than the service I got from Dabs. I bought an Archos from them four years ago and the damn thing hasn't even gone wrong yet!
In any case, they are State IDs....not National government IDs. When the National government starts screaming, "Papers! Your papers citizens! Where are your papers?! You have no papers? You must be one of THEM!" You are in serious trouble.
Since some of the States are comparable in population, size and economic power to countries anyway (Ohio probably has more people than, say, Belgium), I fail to see how it makes any practical difference at all exactly what level of government the opression originates from.
I always write it as CO807 or something similar. I fear that uttering its true name could cause me to have to do it again, for a living.
P.S.I think it's short for Complete Bollocks. It ought to be. Really, if I could travel back in time and eliminate one person, Hitler & Stalin would have a lot less to fear than that Hopper bitch.
Every Manufacturer should be forced to pay a landfill fee for each product they sell,
in proportion to the size, mass, and toxicity of their products. Perhaps when companies
are forced to pay for the clean up, they will reduce product size and eliminate wasteful packaging.
Can you really see that flying in the US? OMG, stealth taxes, black helicopters, NWO, the gubmint, it's unconstitutional/communist/not christian...
In the unlikely event that such a thing was enacted, they'd only pass the cost onto the consumers anyway - exactly what happens with the Belgian recupel.
There are ways, for example you can ask how many people it makes happy, or how few it makes suffer (these both have philosophical names that I've forgotten).
I think you mean utilitarianism, proposed by Jeremy Bentham & John Stuart Mill.
Or Star Trek, where Spock dies fixing the radiation leak. Oops, spoiler!
It's no different from saying that a monopoly on wheat held by one farmer doesn't take away my ability to compete with him, so long as I sell rye instead.
Well actually it's totally different. Cereals are tangible, physical products and there is a substantial cost to producing another unit of them. This is plainly not the case with data which can be duplicated at next to no cost, but has high fixed costs of initial creation.
Where there isn't a choice it's hardly a valid comparison, since the opportunity cost is zero; anything is better than nothing.
While what you said is true (albeit obvious) it in no way invalidates the fact that if you can do it direct or in fewer steps (e.g. eat the corn, not the pigs that ate the corn or the dogs that ate the pigs that ate the corn), it's more efficient to do so - though if you've found a way round the first law of thermodynamics, send me a postcard from Stockholm.
Do you think it's a coincidence that cattle (or other animals) are frequently raised where it isn't possible to raise crops? Wales or the Yorkshire moors spring to mind, though somehow I doubt you know where either of those are.
It's even cheaper if you don't do it. My speciality is SAP and if there's one common theme to the books on it, it's that that they've been written in German but the publishers haven't even bothered to run the translated version past a native speaker.
Screen/softcopy is better for reference as you can search it. Some systems even have context sensitive links that take you right to the appropriate section of the help. But for learning something new, or for things that are more open ended, I still prefer a book. You can read a chapter on a train or before falling asleep then let it sink in before going off and trying it. Plus you can have the book open while you work and make notes on it.
I still have to pay the people who operate the idled machines (Check your union contract before you start laying people off), heat the building, have air conditioning
No matter what plants they can eat, the primary energy source is sunlight, and the more steps you pass through between there and your plate, the more you lose.
If eating animals was more efficient, then why have people who practice a pastoral lifestyle generally been displaced from the best land by farmers?
And don't presume to tell me what I do and don't get, AC.
Like the poster before you was saying, it was felt that aircraft carriers could not withstand the onslaught of a battleship with huge guns.
Rightly so, it would seem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Glorious. I'm not an expert on naval strategy but it appears to me that the trick might be to not allow the battleship to get closer than x, where x is the range of its guns.
Should the idea somehow survive this pummeling, the middle manager will write his name onto it and ship it upwards. Where it's found to be great and the manager gets a huge bonus.
Don't know how this got modded troll. Exactly that happened to my other half.
They had to find the descrepancies between two excel sheets of transactions and they were doing it by sorting the lists, printing them, and manually going down the two lists side by side. Ticking them off with a pencil, or most likely a crayon. She's not a techie or she'd have figured it out herself, but once she explained it to me it took about 5 minutes to work out the solution and write the monkey card. Makes you wonder what kind of an IT department they have there, but I applied there once and was turned down...

I thought he was talking about the summary. The last sentence sure doesn't make sense to me.

In fact, looking at the weather right now, that seems like a bloody good idea.

Here's lego's legal page. Count how many times the word "legos" appears on it.
Are you still in the last century or something? Get with the program - it's "Airstrip 2.0" now, if you don't mind.

There is no such word as "legos". The system as a whole is "lego". The pieces are "lego bricks".
