That doesn't make any sense, because air simply exists without any production at all. When something requires capital investment with negligible labor investment, the owner of the capital machines will still want recompense for their investment and for the energy costs if nothing else.
But where will they get that recompense if nobody has wages to spend?
Since when could Albany be called prosperous? It's a cold, ugly, old metro area filled with cold, ugly, old people. The young such as myself run away because there's absolutely no reason to want to live in Albany.
So how do you propose we build a free-market system in which the redundant, workless human beings can afford to buy any of the plentiful goods produced by the machines?
No, I see a lot of fat people here in Israel. In fact, people here are much less ashamed and self-conscious about their waistline than in the United States or the UK.
Germany has long labored under Sceptical philosophy which is not comfortable with objectivity, or superiority, or for that matter any value judgments at all.
Yeah, whatever, I'm just glad they aren't doing what they did the last time they thought about "objectivity" or "superiority" or "value judgments".
If work expands to fill all available time, procrastinate now (or when you get around to it, anyway).
Just wanted to note that this is the primary lesson that primary and secondary schooling taught me, and I spent freshman year of university unlearning it. I'm still learning how to work on things immediately while maintaining a balance instead of just procrastinating.
And if you try to take that philosophy into the wrong place, you'll get your ass shot off. Countries are collective property of their people, and collective property comes as a simple extension from personal property.
And if I may respond to myself, their version of Ubuntu was some customized idiocy. Nice of them to add a special device driver or config that makes the multitouch trackpad with buttons under the bottom work nicely, but they only targeted it to their own software sources and wouldn't let me perform an upgrade to Jaunty Jackelope just via apt. I had to install over using a USB drive.
If conscious awareness is something that just happens in a sufficiently sophisticated system that has sensory inputs and can compare its own present state to its previous states in ways that are meaningful to itself, then there is no God, there are no souls, we are biomechanical constructs, we simply cease to be when we die, and you get "life" for free if you build one of these things.
So far the evidence points against your premise and your conclusions do not even follow logically from that premise. I suppose that's the kind of "logic" we should expect from an atheist anonymous coward.
That's Massachusetts. Their legislature will do anything to keep deadly weapons out of the hands of humans. Hell, they don't just stop people doing concealed carry, they've banned knives more than 10 inches long and concealed blades more than 3 inches long (ie: large pocketknives). They really just don't get that more weapon control isn't necessarily better.
There's far more people in the USA sympathetic to the ideas of communism than islam
Actually, most of the pro-communist left in the USA went over to the Islamist side after 9/11, on the basis that America's troop presence in Muslim countries and support for nations like India or Israel justifies the jihadis. Yeah, it's screwed up, but what do you expect from former communists?
No, I think the interweaving franchises (ensuring that you need to buy 3 or so comics per week to read 1 story), the never-ending stories (with archived histories and constant retcons), and continual insistence on being about superheroes without actually doing the appealing things about superheroes (looking at you, '90s Dark Age) are what killed comics. If there's one thing you can say for most manga, it's that the story starts and ends at a definitive place, and you only need to buy one book of the stuff to read the entire story therein.
Sonic the Hedgehog needs to be taken out of the diabolical hands of Sonic Team and handed to people who'll stop trying to tack crappy new ideas onto it. Likewise for Nights into Dreams, whose sequel was deeply tantalizing.
And Psychonauts desperately needs a sequel.
Oh, and someone should remake the Dune RTS series.
From what I've heard, the short sections of Sonic Unleashed that took place in "daytime" were pretty cool and Sonic-y. They just made up a minority of the game.
I can't believe nobody else has said Sonic. And while we're at it, let's have a Nights into Dreams sequel that doesn't make me go through crappy platforming levels just to fly.
third, you are in desperate need of coming to the realization that not every idea/info/speech that sounds hard&tough, down to earth, or harsh regarding some reality is some conservative lunatic's ranting. there are people with evil intent in life, there are countries that are run by fascists, and there are wars. get to grips with it.
No shit. Why do you think I didn't actually call you a Republican astroturfer?

In other words, you're a dirty commie ;-).

Sod that.
And my experience is that a Macbook Pro with a broken screen due to being packed into a tight backpack cost hundreds of dollars to fix.

The parent was technically correct.
Bureaucrat Smoke2Joints, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct.
When I bought a netbook for traveling this summer, Dell sold me one with Ubuntu 8.04 pre-loaded on it.
Which they were convicted of in a court of law.
Hills!
If it works, it's still damn better than oil, which is dirty energy we have to buy from dirty people.

People pull the same thing when Israel is questioned (not its right to exist even, just some of its policies)
No we don't. I've heard that charge made a thousand times and never once has it been true.

You can't do that in E-rated games.
Well starving doesn't exactly look pretty.

Which country neighboring Iran are you in?
Only when done on Eliza Dushku.
