Really? That's why Nike's profits have gone down huh? No, sorry. Supply and demand dictates profit margins, which generally hovers around 5%. For a group of people that like to point at history, Marx is historically wrong. The labor theory of value has been discredited for decades.
True, I've never understood his assertions that only labour can create value and not automated or natural processes. In a way it is the opposite of the (equally wrong) feudal ideas that value can only come from things that are grown or mined, and that labour doesn't add to this. -- ~~~
The tendency of the rate of profit to fall is a theory put forward by Marx to the effect that the rate of profit enjoyed by capitalists will get smaller and smaller over time. This is because capitalists use more and more developed materials and machinery in their production as the labour process becomes more and more socialised over time, and use smaller and smaller amounts of wage-labour per unit output.
personally I think Marx's criticism of capitalism is pretty accurate. Its only where he assumes that uprising and revolution will lead to some utopian ideal that he goes wrong.
I sympathise with this view entirely. If people are leaving you alone and harming nobody while behaving differently, then just leave them alone.
Like Muslims, you racist bastard?
Leaving you alone and harming nobody doesn't sound like a muslims to me
Grammar aside this is a very insightful post. In fact Islam teaches Orson Scott's views taken to the extreme:
Allah Most High says: "Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the wives that Allah has created for you? But you are a people who transgress" Koran (26:165-66)
"The Prophet (saws) said: (1) "Kill the one who sodomizes and the one who lets if be done to him." (Tirmidhi, a sahih (authentic) hadith)
"May Allah curse him who does that Lot's people did." (Ibn Hibban, sahih (authentic))
"Lesbianism by women is adultery between them." (Tabarani, sahih)"
I can understand people not liking things that they feel are too "different", but I can't understand why he'd actively campaign against people who are different from him.

... as I've been telling you all along...
Your country is owned by Jews. You are a slave of the Jews. They print money out of thin air, and make YOU and your children do real work in order to pay it back. They run the entire media, they own the book and magazine publishers, they decide everything you get to see and hear about the world.
Except for on the internet - but they have their 'useful idiots' to 'mod people down' there, if we get too close to 'naming the Jew'.
If the Jews really do control all the banks and Western governments they are making a piss poor job of taking advantage of it. America gives millions to Muzzie savages in the hope that they will somehow agree to get on, ignore the teachings of Mohammed, and join with non-muslims to form an enlightened democracy. Millions spend defending the "rights" of muzzie murderers. Yes... really looks like they are in charge
I just wonder why they collaborated with Israel, given that I am sure that they are perfectly capable of writing it themselves. There must be some "political" motive, either the cooperation is in exchange for something else that NSA can't get themselves (info from agents), provides some form of damage control ("we didn't do it, it was the Israelis"), or it is just a firm demonstration of commitment to the Israeli government.
Why is it that it's precisely in times where upholding the constitution is at it's most important (in times of turmoil), that so many countries do away with the constitution entirely and suspend it?!
This was not a constitution any right-minded person would want - it enshrined Sharia law, inequality of the sexes, inferiority of non-Muslims and barbaric punishments.
The British GCHQ taps fibre connections, collects data on EU citizens and shares it with US intelligence services. In response the EU wants to stop sharing information on passenger records for people flying between the EU and the USA..... Well I suppose its easier than suggesting that EU governments should not spy on its citizens.
Given that most of these satellite navigation systems have 'guide munitions to target' as a major(often primary) goal, building a purely domestic one is a bit of a waste of time.
Actually the region covers most of the likely enemies.
Are these the same stem cells that the Christian Right was trying to ban for research?
Not that I approve of the Christian Right, but I don't think so. These are bone marrow transplants that give blood stem cells from an adult donor. I think that the Christian Right are only against embryonic stem cell research
The previous "cure" was following a bone marrow transplant from someone with a mutation that made them highly resistant to HIV. This article makes it sound as though it was the transplant itself that cured the HIV. Does anyone know if these transplants also involved a resistant donor?
Is India's space navigation system sufficiently similar(in terms of frequencies, antenna demands, etc.) that it will be relatively easy to shoehorn into navigation chipsets along with GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, or is it enough of an oddball in some way, either technologically or administratively(a more hardass version of the old GPS civilian precision reduction that the US used to use or occassionally threaten to use), that this is basically irrelevant for everybody who isn't Indian military?
Reading TFA it is substantially different, in that the satellites are in a geostationary orbit over India. I would imagine this makes the frequencies, positioning algorithms, etc. quite different. I can understand why we did it that way, you get a working system with much fewer satellites than the GPS system
I haven't used LISP since uni. I still have nightmares about trying to sort out "unmatched parentheses" errors, and that was before editors had the built in help!
Pioneer AppRadio looks ideal - basically mirrors your phone's screen on it's 7" display. You need to do a bit of hacking to unlock the full potential, but the basic idea is brilliant.
The only real down-side is that the FM radio side sucks. If you mainly listen to playlists on your phone though it isn't a big issue.
I really don't want to be using a touch-screen interface while driving at all. If I want to change radio station/volume/whatever I want nice tactile buttons that I can feel without taking my eyes off the road, touch screen systems in cars are a disaster.
I agree. My car has some simple radio controls duplicated on a stalk, up-down channel, volume and mute. I can use these without looking, which is great,

Employers want to make as much money as possible without having to pay people.
Its been said before:
The tendency of the rate of profit to fall is a theory put forward by Marx to the effect that the rate of profit enjoyed by capitalists will get smaller and smaller over time.

"Ballmer also wants to knock down the walls"
Nah, too easy.
I was going to say "Steve Ballmer Reorganizing Microsoft ... he's starting with the chairs"
I am not knowing what is it wrong with that?
Let me prepone our meeting so I can address your doubts
Like Muslims, you racist bastard?
And what race are Muslims again?
I sympathise with this view entirely. If people are leaving you alone and harming nobody while behaving differently, then just leave them alone.

This in practice means that homosexuals are often killed in Muslim countries

Its like a hybrid vehicle, when you only need to go slow it runs on a small motor, when you need power the big engine kicks in but needs more juice.
my friend's sister makes $77 hourly on the computer.
I hear she makes $50 an hour on the kitchen table and $90 an hour on the bed too.
I expect that there will be one huge blob .. covering the whole of Texas
Wouldn't it be ironic if someone had a hidden camera in the secret court

The current trend is towards fewer customized symbols, not more.
Said the guy with numbers for vowels in his username.
Well he's eliminated vowels - not inconsistent with what he said!
A keyboard for the Initial teaching alphabet. That has not not only "th" but "ng" and others

As long as they share the data about the muzzies then all will be fine
If you want the data, you'll have to come get them like the thieving false friends that you are.
I take it you don't work for GCHQ
