Where did he blame the FCC for anything? He's saying people are entitled whiners who want to run to Uncle Sam to fix any slight inconvenience that annoys them.
It's not misleading at all, in fact I completely fail to see your point. Do you think there would be such an article posted if "Joe Schmegal, hobbyist programmer" had made a similar statement?
That's like saying sarcastically that someone's main complaint about a dump truck is that it isn't a Ferrari.
C++ sucks, it's as simple as that, but it's a necessary evil because sometimes you need the performance, or simple cross-platform mostly-compatibility, and it's still vastly better (in terms of developer efficiency) that C.
But if you're writing e.g. a commodity GUI or backend server app then Java (or even vastly superior to Java - C#/.NET) are incredibly much better in just about every way other than the above.
What a strange country we're becoming where someone needs to "allow" a group of people to provide education for children.
I would ask what right (either legal or rational) you have to prevent charter schools, but I'd just get an ear full of the usual bullshit about the rights of arbitrary groupings of people outweighing individual rights.
But isn't that just an underhanded way of saying "You racist!", which adds absolutely nothing to the conversation and which no serious person cares about?
You fucking liar. Those are statutory rates, not effective rates. It has nothing to do with reality. Most Americans (> 50%) pay in the low to mid single digits in Federal income taxes.
Bullshit.. Bullshit, bullshit and more bullshit. Go look at the numbers from the IRS. You are just spouting off the usual rabble-rouser's nonsense.
If you look at the net paid taxes as a percent of income, the rich still pay way more than everyone else in all cases but a few aberrations, and they _especially_ pay more than the "most Americans" (> 50%).
Should be great ammunition for advocating *Nix over Windows 8.
Yes, because windows doesn't have the concept of User Privileges.
They aren't as fine grained or powerful, I'll grant you, but they could easily be made to be so if Microsoft (or customers) cared enough. The problem is _they don't_ because the real-world security improvements you'll see from something like capsicum are minimal.
These much hated plutocrats must not be very effective considering they pay by far the highest effective _rate_ (as a percentage of income) in the country. Even Romney's "15%" is higher than most Americans, and he's an aberration.
Seems they have such insanely sensitive seismometers these days they could just put a few out there and "hear" them digging them.
Or just use some of the intervening land (assuming it's unpopulated and in the middle of nowhere) as a random place to test new GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs.
Again, you're missing the point. Most Americans do not pay 25% of even their smaller income. Most don't even pay 15% in Federal income taxes. So to mock Romney's 15% is a bit silly when most Americans don't even pay that _percentage_.
Yes, the founding fathers didn't want to be a laughing stock so they made sure to put in an amendment making sure that government militias (e.g. the National Guard) could be armed. Oh, and they made it the second amendment. I mean, otherwise we might disarm our own military forces...
Risible. The "militia" clause is parenthetical, it means nothing and furthermore "militia" doesn't mean what you think it means nor does "regulated".
Rabble rousing garbage. Odd how those mean rich people pay a higher percentage of Federal taxes both as a percentage of their income and as a percentage of the whole than the vast majority of the rest of the country.
Even the flim-flam your lot blathered about Romney's mythical 15% tax burden is hilarious considering most Americans don't pay anywhere near 15%.
I fucking hate people like you. It's a type, and I frankly don't get it. Some sort of weird contrarianism.
Do you know "people"? Sure, some people are pretty fucking scummy but by and large most people aren't evil. If you took 100 people, maybe you'd find 5 evil people, and 10 people who are douchebags but not evil., 75 decent people, and 10 saints, along with one asshole who can't do math.
So you've got all these people working in the medical field trying to save lives and you are convinced there's some evil cabal plotting how to milk cancer patients for money? A good percentage of the people doing the research and even the funding have probably lost loved ones to cancer or other diseases they research.
And what does your conspiracy minded, dopey ass get out of this? That they're sitting around imagining how to milk patients for more money.
I'm not saying the system is perfect and there is indeed a profit motive, and those 15 douchebags sure can mess things up sometimes but overall the reason there's no cure for cancer is because it's extremely difficult.

Yes yes, all very well but doesn't using the term "precious fetus" sarcastically make you a fucking cunt?
A theater. The room is quiet.
Suddenly.
"Yeah, did you hear what Jack said about Arlene? I mean what the fuck, can't that dump shit keep his mouth shut?"
Oh noes! Quick, get the government to pass a bunch of laws banning cell phones in theaters!?
Synopsis: Who fucking cares, that's what social pressures are for, and if that doesn't work the airlines can deal with it when people complain.
Where did he blame the FCC for anything? He's saying people are entitled whiners who want to run to Uncle Sam to fix any slight inconvenience that annoys them.
Really, wtf is wrong with people? The FCC's job is not to determine if cell phones annoy you. It is to determine their safety.
If you don't want people talking on cell phones then talk to the airlines or in the worse case, still lame and stupid, Congress to pass a law.
The low level of basic civics knowledge in this country is astounding.

a processor about on par with the first Core 2 Duo
Lol. No, they don't.
Says the partisan neckbeard... Nobody cares what you think, neckbeard.
Yes, because Microsoft is an unsuccessful company at making money compared to most companies. Wait, whuh?

You are an idiot. Your linked source means nothing, nobody pays the statutory rate for their income.

You are completely full of shit and the IRS's own numbers put the lie to your nonsense.

Sure, kook. Sure. You're all clued in, you know the secrets of the inner cabal you fucking paranoiac nut.
