This latter group of communists and anarchists constituted a very narrow minority of the radical movement-absurdly narrow when we consider all the to-do that was made about them. Late in 1919 Professor Gordon S. Watkins of the University of Illinois, writing in the Atlantic Monthly, set the membership of the Socialist party at 39,000, of the Communist Labor party at from 10,000 to 30,000 and of the Communist party at from 30,000 to 60,000 In other words, according to this estimate, the Communists could muster at the most hardly more than one-tenth of one per cent of the adult population of the country; and the three parties together-the majority of whose members were probably content to work for their ends by lawful means-brought the proportion to hardly more than two-tenths of one per cent, a rather slender nucleus, it would seem, for a revolutionary mass movement.
But the American business man was in no mood to consider whether it was a slender nucleus or not. He, too, had come out of the war with his fighting blood up, ready to lick the next thing that stood in his way. He wanted to get back to business and enjoy his profits. Labor stood in his way and threatened his profits. He had come out of the war with a militant patriotism; and mingling his idealistic with his selfish motives, after the manner of all men at all times, he developed a fervent belief that 100-per-cent Americanism and the Welfare of God's Own Country and Loyalty to the Teachings of the Founding Fathers implied the right of the business man to kick the union organizer out of his workshop. He had come to distrust anything and everything that was foreign, and this radicalism he saw as the spawn of long-haired slavs and unwashed East-Side Jews. And, finally, he had been nourished during the war years upon stories of spies and plotters and international intrigue. He had been convinced that German sympathizers signaled to one another with lights from mountain-tops and put ground glass into surgical dressings, and he had formed the habit of expecting tennis courts to conceal gun-emplacements. His credulity had thus been stretched until he was quite ready believe that a struggle of American laboring-men for wages was the beginning of an armed rebellion directed Lenin and Trotsky, and that behind every innocent professor who taught that there were arguments for as well as against socialism there was a bearded rascal from Europe with a money bag in one hand and a smoking bomb in the other.
How do you pay for serious investigative journalism, something I think that we are seriously lacking and suffering from, if you can't pay for your journalists?
Traditionally, your newsstand price paid for the ink, paper, and other printing costs while the advertising paid for the content. If I'm paying good money for something I do NOT want to see an ad in it. Double dipping is theft.
The Illinois Times manages to do investigative reporting, pay writers and cartoonists, pay for syndicated columnists, turn a profit, and still manage to give the paper away for free -- and not just the online edition, the dead tree version is free, too. You can pick up a copy almost anywhere in Springfield. It's wildly popular because 1) it's good an 2) it's free. Meanwhile, the almost useless State Journal-Register is laying off all its workers (their cartoonist now works for the Illinois Times and they have no in-house cartoonist) and they're on the verge of bankruptcy.
Their problem is the same as every other newspaper's problem -- GREED. They're asking far more for a copy than what one is worth.
They do not deserve your pity, their wounds were self-inflicted.
Mac OS X, Android and Windows are consumer operating systems, for which eye-candy UIs are considered more important than network transparency.
Windows was for the office from the get-go, and I think you'll find fewer and fewer PCs in homes now that there are tablets. It suffers from the fact that it was originally written as a standalone OS and not designed for networks. OSX was completely rewritten using the BSD kernel, which was Unix-based. Unix was originally written to be networked. People screamed bloody murder when they made the change, but it was necessary.
Eye Candy has nothing to do with network transparency. There's so much eye candy in all the non-server OSes because they can -- PCs are thousands of times faster than when Macs and Windows first came out. Networks are a hell of a lot faster, too.
I saw your comment while metamoderating, whoever modded you "troll" got marked down. They should have left it at the default (at worst overrated maybe) but no way is it a troll. Moderators, please read the slashdot FAQ!
I agree it's funny but it's actually backwards -- the older you get, the faster time goes. When I had six months left in the military it was forever. Now that I'm six months away from retirement, meh, six months ain't shit.
I'm 61 and was talking about that with my Mom over the weekend. "Wait until you're my age!" she said. Hell, that's only 23 years, not long at all. Unless you are 23, in which case it's a lifetime.
Even my 26 year old daughter has started noticing it.
I've had people accidentally install Windows 7 over Windows 7 and lose all their documents due to re-partitioning. So yeah, saying random citizens are qualified to make a full switch over to Linux themselves is ridiculous. Plus, then they end up with a printer that has no drivers or an unsupported or glitchy graphics card driver.
So, slashmydots, how much is Microsoft paying you for your lies? Yes, installing Windows 7 over Windows 7 will delete your files. Installing Linux will not, unless you're smoking crack. The default is to install dual-boot, if you choose to repartition you are warned sternly that "ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE UNRECOVERABLE!"
As to driver and video issues, those were gone ten years ago. So just STFU, Ballmer, and go play with your toy OS some more. BTW, Steve, since I have you here, when will a Windows box be able to log a default user on with a password without intervention? When will Windows boot without all the apps and documents reopened? When will Windows be able to use movies as wallpaper? When will Windows get all the other functionality Linux has had for years?
And will you quit deliberately slowing down machines with an older version of Windows when a newer one comes out? Do you really think you're selling new OSes that way? My notebook was fast and snappy 3 years ago, I'll be putting Linux on it this weekend (the HP tower is running Linux now).
Ballmer, your OS has absolutely no functionality that Linux lacks, but it lacks a lot of functionality Linux has had for years and I, for one, and sick of all the lying FUD from you damned shills. So put a sock in it, you're not fooling anyone.
A vote for one of them is a vote for "none of the above". If you stay home because all of the candidates suck you're counted as being OK with the status quo.
The the only one subject to the Constitution is the government. The Constitution enumerates powers and limitations of government. I'm pretty sure you have to be a citizen for it to be treason; if not you're an enemy combatant. After all, when a war is over, prisoners of war are released.
But that's not all the article said; it isn't just more surface area, but with plasmonics tuned so that electrical resistance is lower and the maximum number of electrons can get knocked loose by a photon.
Don't expect a physics class in a magazine article, but for someone not in the field wikipedia will do. I looked up plasmonics before reading the article and it made the article a lot more informative.
Somebody doesn't like to learn. If you read just a little of the wikipedia article about plasmons you can figure out what a plasmonic nanostructure is.
Considering that most things cost ten times as much as they did fifty years ago (a new VW bug was $900 in 1964, a McBurger, fries, and small coke was thirty two cents, a gallon of gas was a quarter, a candy bar was a nickle) a dime is now equivalent to what a penny was then.
The government doesn't issue checks down here, either. I still pay my bills with checks, almost everything else is cash.
Googling certain items results in a visit from the FBI.
The one time I read of that happening it was on a work computer, the IT staff saw it and called the FBI. He googled for a backpack for hiking, his wife googled for a pressure cooker for cooking, and as it was right after the Boston bombing. It wasn't the NSA, it was his employer spying on him.
That makes no sense, you can't trace cash. When I hand you a twenty that twenty has no information about me whatever, nor does it have information on who handed it to me.
I've said for a long time that if you're liberal you should vote Green, if you're conservative vote Libertarian. Both are on enough ballots to get elected (but the Ds and Rs are financed by corporations, who own the mass media).
What I got is that there's only two kinds of people in a shipwreck, those who can make decisions for themselves, and those who are at substantial risk of dying while they wait for someone else to make decisions for them. I watched a documentary on the incident and many people were just sitting around waiting for someone to save them.
Actually four kinds of people: those too dumb to leave when they're in actual danger, those smart enough to get out of danger, those smart enough to know they're not in danger and wait for rescue, and those stupid enough to have the mindset "do something, anything, even if it's wrong." HHGTG is right: Don't panic. Nothing is more dangerous than panic.

And has been happening for at least a century. From chapter 3 of Frederick Lewis Allen's Only yesterday, An Informal History of the 1920s:

It's not to "fix" poverty, it's to alleviate suffering.
It's a vote for "none of the above." You don't vote for them expecting them to actually win. It's a protest.

Did you mean "don't indirectly suggest or call attention to yourself" or did your spell checker incorrectly "repair" a misspelling of "delude"?
There's a coded inscription outside CIA HQ that they haven't been able to crack, that may be the inscription. You can't crack this, either:

It's uncrackable because it's gibberish. Here's an easy one:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 30 (3)20-31
That actually says "IF TIME WERE SUDDENLY TO TURN back to 1919, you would hardly know that you are not in the nineteen-thirties"
All you need to know to crack it is the title and chapter of a book.
