Although there are MANY thing wrong with what he is proposing there is already a system in place for people who are members of the National Guard to maintain their jobs when they get called in.
Nope, all you do is turn elections into lottery's for people who are backed by corporations while also making sure that those whom get elected this way don't know enough about how the government works to be effective on their own so they end up being reliant on the lobbyists.
What percentage of spam do you think is Joe Job spam? A percent? Less than one percent?
Also as I said in my reply to the parent you want to do this as anonymously as possible. One reason is so that the spammer can't report you for spamming, the other reason is so it is harder to filter out the anti-spam spam. I didn't know about Joe Job'ing but that just adds one more reason to make sure you do this anonymously.
Although that does sound like an effective way to fight spammers you'll have to do it anonymously since they could charge you with spamming.
That does actually sounds like it would be very effective. Just be sure not to trip any anti-spam filters with your randomized text, perhaps instead of random you'll want to do some combination of words that they would not want to filter such as "Where do you want me to send my credit card information?" or "I will gladly help you smuggle your money out of your country.", stuff that if they filtered it, it would also filter out any one stupid enough to legitimately respond.
Funny, I would imagine it being the other way around, IE: Giant Engine ( mainframe ) powering something that would make no sense such as a Vespa Scooter.
Would make the Vespa harder to use and more likely to crash spectacularly.
It's not that people don't think that pollution is happening, they just don't care if it doesn't directly effect them.
I would much rather buy something that polluted a land far far away from me rather than one that is polluting my neck of the woods. In fact I would actively boycott any local industry that polluted as much as they do in China. It would be in my best interest to.
When China becomes a larger consumer market they might have a say in whom gets polluted.
There is a large difference between the iPhone eco-system and the Android eco-system.
The iPhone is entirely designed and built by a single company and therefor it is easy to lay blanket blame or praise.
While with Android devices you can talk shit about individual providers and manufacturers, but it is hard to talk shit about Android devices as a whole since it is really a case by case basis with Android.
The iPhone line [theunderstatement.com] on the other hand has all the products on the latest version of the OS even if every phone doesn't support the latest and greatest features
The person who has problems reading charts is the person who presented that chart as proof that ALL iPhones could update to the LATEST IOS. He was wrong, I was pointing that out.
The point of theunderstatement.com is that all iPhones were able to run the latest OS at least three years after introduction and are supported with updates for at least two years.
Yes, but the argument being made was that ALL iPhones can upgrade to the LATEST IOS, and that web page was presented as proof.
My comment was that that web page is misleading, I didn't say it was wrong, but that it was misleading.
And as I mentioned to someone else, my phone came out over a year ago and it was recently pushed an OS upgrade. HTC G2 on T-Mobile, we'll see if it gets anymore updates, but not as bad as some are making it out to be.
You know what is really missing from the Slashdot of old?
The Slashdot of old had real good trolls, not this lame half-baked attempt. I mean, when was the last time you ran across a troll comment half as funny as the Yoda Figurine troll. Why even the GNAA is only a shadow of it's former self.
We need some good solid trolls again, SharkLaser is trying, but failing pathetically. Dr.Bob was doing pretty good, but apparently lost interest. The best we have now are link farmers like the useless ForaFreeInternet.
C'mon trolls, step up to the plate and give it a swing.

Everything I need to do today should be technically possible via a browser, but also allow me to use the application when my internet connection is down.
After you click on a link and then return to the results page you will then have a link that allows you to no longer have that domain in your search results, but that only works if you are logged into google.

Now how much of that is the structure of the government vs the culture of the country?

Isn't corruption already illegal?
Also, can you please point out an example of a government that is less corruptible than our own?

In related news rootkits and virus's both pre-date Windows.

His chart said one thing, he said another, yet you are incapable of noticing that even after it was pointed out to you and you say I'm an idiot?

So would Brazil nuts work?

Kinda like the difference between Macs and PCs.
What he said was.
The iPhone line [theunderstatement.com] on the other hand has all the products on the latest version of the OS even if every phone doesn't support the latest and greatest features
That was incorrect. Was it not?
No, my chart reading rocks.
The person who has problems reading charts is the person who presented that chart as proof that ALL iPhones could update to the LATEST IOS. He was wrong, I was pointing that out.
Thank you.
True, but it is more than the 6 months people are claiming. Only time will tell if it gets more updates.
The point of theunderstatement.com is that all iPhones were able to run the latest OS at least three years after introduction and are supported with updates for at least two years.

My phone, an HTC G2 came out in September 2010, got an OS update as recently as two weeks ago.
Care to elaborate?
No it is not. The deal with Motorola has not gone been voted on yet by Motorola's stock holders. That won't happen till November 17th.

Google makes the operating system shithead, not the hardware.
You want to talk shit about the hardware used in android devices then talks shit about the manufacturers since they would be the ones to blame.

That link is a little bit misleading.
