Most born into it will leave and return. ow many people? Well, there's sanctuaries all over the globe, from Thailand to Oceania to Canada to Africa. Event gatherings can see upwards of ten+ thousand people, and that is certainly not representative of the whole group as these events are held almost simultaneously across the globe, some sanctuaries go completely empty for a week or so while the festivities happen at other sanctuaries.
All in all, I'd estimate around a million people identify with the group and participate globally. There might be many more, they just haven't made themselves known, yet.
And more people join the ideal every day.

That is how I expect the average cyclist to do 45. Get a damned aerodynamic bike. Hell just putting a shell with good aerodynamics over the front tire alone would drastically improve the ease that one could pedal up to 35 MPH. A good gear cluster and proper workup through the gears would probably get you to 50 MPH.
"That said, what corporation has forced you to buy their shit?"
Car Insurance, ahobaka. Or do you not own a vehicle? It is now mandatory for you to have car insurance if you own and drive a vehicle on the public roads in pretty much every state, if not all of them. Why is it mandatory? In case you run into someone and hurt them, resulting in hospital bills.
We wouldn't need that if we had a universal health care system. We wouldn't be effectively forced by the Federal government to suck the cock of Car Insurance Companies, all out of the need to pay someone's medical bill.
Just FYI - I was hit by a drunk driver June 18, 2007. No insurance, not even his vehicle. Vehicle owner had insurance, my father had insurance that covered me. That still didn't pay all of my bills - I owe for the helicopter ride and two resuscitations. This wouldn't have happened if we had universal health care. I would not be in debt. I was 100% debt-free until that accident. Now I can barely find work besides the random computer repair and sign waving job. There's no way in hell I'm getting out of debt any time soon.
In fact, the car insurance lobbyists have effectively forced you to buy their car insurance, because it is MANDATORY now in pretty much every state. You just had that shoved down your throat like a big black dick. Enjoy choking on it.
"but we can't have personal freedom and socialized responsibility at the same time"
I know several LARGE groups of people who at this moment are doing EXACTLY what you say is not possible, and have been doing so for well over two decades. One is called the Radical Faeries, and they own HUGE swaths of land, have their own communes, and they operate much more smoothly than any other government system I have seen. Everyone knows their role and they perform it to sustain the community. The personal freedom is there as well, as I could go into any of those communes, strip naked, and walk around, and nobody would care or say anything. But then again, these people have much more sense than 90% of the world population. No race barriers, no ethnic or religious barriers, no gender identity barriers, none of that bullshit that stupid religious nutjobs worry about and use to cause chaos and overall drop down the efficiency of the governing body.
"Sony and Nintendo worry that consumers will be satisfied playing games on devices that aren't necessarily focused on gaming."
What, you mean like your own console systems which are now just over-glorified computers with internet, movie playing capability, and photo viewing/media streaming? Your devices sure as fuck aren't focused on gaming with all the directions you're going.
Give me a fucking break you pussy companies. It's called competition, man up and step up to the challenge or shut the fuck up and sit in the corner quietly while the real competitors play.
Sorry, I hate the 360 controller. My thumb slips off of the analog directional stick and hits the | button way too easily, always fucks me up in Trials HD.
also, buttons are too close together and cramped. Though I've got hands like steve vai so I'm probably the exception.
"One of the great advantages of the death of Commodore, Atari, Texas Instruments, and other proprietary standards was that we were no longer forced to buy their products."
Hate to break it to you but I'm looking at my motherboard and I see some TI branded stuff on it, specifically the ADC for my soundcard.
We're still being forced to buy it, just not directly by the manufacturer.
Well, for one, Youtube HD isn't even HD at all. It's a 640x272 resolution video that's been heavily upsampled. I've fullscreened a Youtube HD video and paused it, and I've counted the blocks that represent a 'pixel.' I've already tested this on Youtube and Vimeo with my DXG 720HD camcorder. Vimeo keeps the true HD, Youtube shrinks the resolution for file size then upsamples the entire thing. Pretty easy to spot when you're using a nice 32" LCD that is only 4 feet from your face.
"Either someone owns his property or he is simply borrowing it from the state."
Got news for you, you don't OWN your property. You fail to pay taxes ONCE and they'll take it away from you. you're in a constant state of borrowing, no matter what you think.
For one, 15kWh is about the average amount a three bedroom house uses in a day. That RV would move just fine off of that, and it could still have huge 'dragon wings' as you know, most RVs have those things called hinges that allow those huge shade spreaders on the sides of RVs to fold against the side of the RV while it is in motion. The only problem would be camping in a forest where a majority of sunlight gets blocked. More efficient solar cells made from this technology would pretty much allow truly solar-powered vehicles.

#6 would be counter-sue because there is no binding contract or EULA included with the calculator you bought, which means no contract to follow or terms of use to follow, and you have the right to make it work with your OS for the sake of compatibility.

"The image was therefore made as man sees it, with a regular digital camera."
Umm, yea. I'll let you think about that sentence for a while. I'm waiting for a 200MP optical upgrade ala Geordi LaForge with that kind of statement.
Umm, you still pay a yearly property tax. Your inheritance probably got taxed as well right before you received it, an "Inheritance income tax."
Umm, my TI 99/4A works with non-TI stuff, specifically my old tape drive.

MenuetOS can do all of that in less than 5 seconds.
There is a difference: At least the Democrats ask if you want any lube before they fuck you up the ass.
I was wondering what the hell was up when I saw this. Slashdot, more and more useless by the day.

That why I just renewed my Vimeo Plus Account.
I don't use backtrack, and in fact BackTrack STILL SUCKS.
Real people use MenuetOS and program their own shit in assembler.
Screw you.
Forgive me for missing one R you cowardly piece of shit.
