Of course they definitely still need a attention. I read to them every day, play trains, take them to the zoo, the park, and my wife does crafts with them while I am at work. We also go to the little gym. TV is not that bad as long as they aren't in front of it 24/7.
Go ahead and be sad if you want. I have no problem letting my children watch tv while I get stuff done around the house. You have no idea how rowdy a 1.5 year old can get around dinner time.
I think it's important to ask ourselves how much of the money is actually getting to the workers. And how much the owners of these companies are taking from the pot for themselves. There is also the question of where this money would have ended up if the government hadn't decided to spend it. Perhaps there are other more efficient areas that it could have gone to, which would have helped more people.
How much government money has been spent creating these jobs? And what is the percentage of salary for solar workers compared to this government money?
If a couple really wants kids but cannot afford to have them, then why not? It's not saying they are goods to be owned. It's saying that someone will pay for the privilege of raising them in a real family instead of people who are addicted to online gaming. Turning it into a black market makes it much more difficult to ensure they would go to a good home. And much easier for less scrupulous dealers to get in. Perhaps if it was legal and regulated, it would be a much easier alternative to adoption for families who really want children.
Anyway, it was illegal and people still sold them anyway. So I guess it really didn't save those kids, did it?
The idea that if the US military became completely ineffective except at defending the US that everything would be hunky-dory is fucking delusional.
If you seriously think that worldwide occupation by US military is the only thing standing between the continental USA being taken over by marauding invaders, I'm sorry but you are the delusional one. These conflicts you somehow claim would flare up are simply the result of your overactive imagination.
Totally agree that software patents are an abomination. I would extend it to include ALL patents and so-called intellectual property in general. It is frightening to think of how backward we would be as a society if intellectual property was always enforced as it is today. All of our best inventions and advancement are ultimately built on ideas. It is preposterous for someone to claim that they can own an idea. And even more so to block people from improving on the ideas of others.
Right on, great book. These people essentially have unlimited funds, thanks to the taxpayers. Why bother getting it right when you can just take more and more money anyway?
Why is doing nothing never an option for federal bureaucRATS? If the service was really that bad, wouldn't the last few customers just stop using it completely? I guess then the cronies wouldn't be able to stick their greasy paws into every aspect of our lives. I am convinced that these FCC jobs are nothing but expensive busywork for the buddies of our elected officials. Nothing they do makes any logical sense.
Yep, it perfectly describes a couple digital agencies that I have worked for in the past. I finally quit the consulting path and got a decent job in a large corporate environment with steady 7.5 hour days. Life is much better.
If you're a popular commerce site like Amazon or Ebay, you will need to be connected to the web either way, even if you write a native application. The only reason I see a real need to write a native app is for games, audio editing, or photo editing. If you're a blog, content, or shopping site, I would focus on polishing your web app and leave it at that.
Why did most of the world switch from monarchy to democracy? This was a major shift in the history of government. Weren't the old monarchs and strongmen all opposed to democracy? The majority demanded it. This time where public opinion turns against democracy. People withdrew their consent to the rulers of Egypt and Tunisia and their strength crumbled instantly. There is absolutely no reason to assume that a similar major shift could never happen again.
Did you read that link I posted from Daivd Friedman? Here is another one for you.
Even the strongest warlord rests on the consent of the people. Once people withdraw that, government essentially becomes powerless. Recent events in the middle east seem to bear that out. Strong central governments are inherently unstable and prone to faction. There is a physical limit to the number of resources that one person can control. The romans collapsed into many smaller states that eventually became stable. Why couldn't that just keep happening? There is already a long history of it. People just need to stop accepting warlords as a given.
If you can choose who you pay for security, there will be more competition in providers, better service, and lower costs. That is how economics works in every other industry, and there is absolutely no reason it would be any different here. It makes no sense to say that anarcho-capitalism would evolve back to feudalism. European feudalism evolved directly from the old Roman government.

You have obviously never had kids. You have NO idea how rowdy they start getting around dinner time.
For my rental house, I signed the agreement in MS paint and e-mailed it back. The landlord insisted that I send a physical copy signed by a pen. :(
shouldn't be too hard.

The reason they aren't upset is that the telecom monopolies are and were always caused by explicit government policy.
Read The Myth of Natural Monopoly by Thomas J. DiLorenzo http://mises.org/journals/rae/pdf/RAE9_2_3.pdf
The record of Congress in the telecom industry is so poor. Why would anyone even give two thoughts about what these politicians say?
Oh really? Have you ever heard of MySpace?
Otherwise known as the broken window fallacy. What is seen and not seen. This is the most insightful post in this whole thread.
Yes indeed. "We wont tell you" is no different than a big fat "yes". I am sure that lots of people are dumb enough to be fooled by this though. :(
This is slashdot, and apparently people still not know how to use Google around here? If you don't know something, LOOK IT UP.
blah blah blah, fuck you and your nationalism.
Not only did Manning do nothing wrong, he did democracy a HUGE favor. Maybe even bought it an extended life.
I have absolutely no respect for Wired, fuck them.

People in the USA also get arrested and shot for demonstrating.
