But, you're lending your voice one of the exact arguments that was used to justify the invasion. That's supporting the conflict. You should really know better, given the amount of people dying every day there.
The lesser of two evils is a pretty lame reason to support invasion and mass murder. Especially when you haven't considered the third or fourth, or any other options.
You know, you've had a terrible day at work, fought with your wife, got pissed because of some other bad news, then you get into your car to drive home, and this robot goes "Hi! The sun is shining! Everybody is haaappyyy! Smmiiiile!"
Yes, there's that, and also the fact that psychologists etc. who study happiness will tell you it comes from LACK of distractions -- facing fears, anxieties, etc., and learning deal with them head-on.
If it helps people to be aware of their moods, that could be a good thing. Trying to play calming music or something would not help though, imho.
Precisely right. Most Iraqi nationals view U.S. troops as an occupying force, and can you imagine what kind of insurgency Texas would provide if we had an occupying force here in the USA?
Well said. This is exactly the problem with warmongers: thinking that their ability to endure hardship and fight to the death is any greater than those they would fight. Just as we would would a grudge for generations if our lands were occupied, so will Iraqis.
Yeah, who writes these headlines? It's like, let's throw together the most fucking sensationalist possible combination of words to evoke certain responses
Luckily none of the commenters around here act that way;)
NO. Facebook has a huge database of users, all over the world, and how they all relate to each other. You really think that's not worth any more than having the email address and peoples' random web pages?
Basically, yes. If you define wellness as including happiness*, then yes, pessimists are brain-damaged. This is basically what buddha showed, and cured, 2500 years ago, along with many other philosophers leaders, and general humans since. Too bad the pessimists never saw the point in figuring out what he had to say;)
* which makes a lot of sense, since the most obviously healthy people are capable of happiness even in extreme situations.
I don't know much about it so if I'm wrong could you please explain to me how this is bad?
I haven't been following this too closely, due to lack of interest in MS or companies that get in bed with them. Debian and Ubuntu will still be there, and they're the best distros anyway. But, I'd say:...because Microsoft are basically trying to set themselves up as a tax-taker on Linux. Because every time someone buys Linux from such organisations, MS will make a little in cash and/or profit. They're realising that Linux is their only viable competitor, and so they're trying to find a way to make some headway into that market, with different licenses, different attempts at patents, etc. Basically, they're trying to ensure that, even if Linux takes 50% of the market, it'll STILL be good for MS, as MS will make money/mindshare on Linux too.
Why's that bad? That would suck. That would be one of the biggest injustices I've ever seen.
Really. It sounds dangerous. It's not best to mess with Mother Nature.
Pfft. There's not a thing wrong with it. It's just a bugfix -- like finding out your database has a remote login vulnerability, and firewalling it. I mean, come on. Global warming causes all these freak storms, and you want to actually fix the global warming?
There's only one site worth mandating, and that's w3.org. Even then, they could simply download the standards, and refer to them locally. You don't have to be a sheep following some website to be a good designer or web developer.

Yes, you could certainly say that there are some bad vibs in Iraq.

Krita can do this stuff just fine.

Well? It serves god right for using Visual Basic.
Never let physics get in the way of a good story.

I hear they're also big on damning people...

There is ALWAYS a choice. It's just that some people think the choice is too big to face up to.

It's gathering pace quite nicely, I'd say, given the initial criticism. And I'm a developer. It's certainly not unpopular with me.
He seems to be confusing "responsible" with "threatened."

Any that have tech they want, but are at risk of moving to GPLv3, I'd say.
:D Those are very good points.
This was a reasonably representative survey of all web designers? Bull-shit.
Nope. I tend to avoid books by illiterates who need five words to say "height"
Which is a SUBSET of Linux.
Ahh, but what if your dog is called peppers? Where does that leave you? Eh? EH??
Well done. That's really standing up for the right choices.
