No it's not, although lots of people mistakenly think it is. The ramifications/implications of those things are pretty deep, even deeper than in the broken window fallacy, but in the case of a welfare mom with 4 kids, the main difference is that by giving her more money she'll give better food, a better health but more importantly a better education to her 4 children, the difference being ultimately that these children will grow up to be more qualified and thus produce more value/wealth, but also move up in social classes.
But to answer your original question, there's probably not much of a difference, although you might assume that the welfare mom being poorer than the original average taxpayers, she might spend that same money more fully and more quickly, thus stimulating faster. Although if you look at it closer, there may be a reason or two why the opposite would happen, but regardless I think the difference in "stimulus" would be quite marginal.
Both actually, the single fat coloured mammy sitting at home and so forth is spending part of her welfare check to be one of your clients/customers, and that thanks to her money she's spending at your business that you can thrive and pay your 14 employees.
Now of course you probably stimulate more than she does, because if you're as successful as you make yourself sound, you have more money to spend, and therefore stimulate more. But the welfare check is stimulus money in that that's what allow people on welfare to keep on stimulating. It's the basics of economy really, it astounds me that the boss of such a flourish business such as you are would ignore that.
So, where's their backup? Nowhere? Don't tell me they just ditched 15 years of early Internet history, when the whole archive could probably hold on a single hard drive?
So, you have left handed gloves and right handed gloves, and you can't transform one into the other without doing something like flipping it through a fourth spatial dimension
Little known fact : that's actually how right hand gloves are made. Turns out that using a fourth spatial dimension is cheaper than machinery to build both types of gloves.
Oh well, if you're gonna respect the original constitution to the letter you might want to ask women their vote back, and give black people their chains back.
Yes, there's a few reasons why it's not in the country's interest to do away with copyright and give anything away for free. The "IP super-industry" (the film, book, music, magazine, newspaper, TV, video game, software industries combined, and more..) makes billions a year (can anyone come up with a figure? I have no idea how huge it must be but it's bound to be enormous), it's a huge business, employing lots of people in America. Letting them and copyright enforcement down would mean a devaluation of anything all these cultural products, music, movies, books, games, because if you let anyone get a $50,000,000 movie for free that means no return on investment in the movie, that means it'll be the last movie you'll see with such a budget. That means shrinking down the entire industry, laying off people, until the point Hollywood can barely rival with Swedish movies anymore.
Sure, we on Slashdot all want our video games and music albums for free, but the large scale consequence of such approaches means a downscaling of the industry in question, and it would have its toll on the economy.
That's why the evil Obama administration is defending these guys, it's because, believe it or not, defending copyright is in the global interest of all. Too bad most Slashdotters can't see much further than "whaaa whaaa I don't wanna pay my taxes cause it's money I earnt".
the ever-extending copyright lengths violate the spirit, if not the letter, of the constitution.
Err okay, how does that work though? How would a century-long copyright violate the constitution?
At last a game that primarily revolves around shooting a bunch of NPCs and exploring a bunch of rooms! Oh and wait for it, this time you play as one of the NPCs from the game this is a sequel to! That's as if you could play Duke Nukem 3D as an Octobrain (actually that would be kind of cool..)! I think I need a chair, all that excitement and innovation...

Well you seem tog et what I was trying to say, but ultimately the fact remains that it's not exactly very straightforward for anyone motivated to go from watching such a commercial to actually getting Linux running on their PC.
You realise that when you spend years writing a book based on an entire lifetime's work, after all the struggles of publishing and promoting a book, 5 years seem like a blink of an eye to reap the fruits of your hard work.
You're aware that most book writers are little guys who hardly can even make a living out of it and wouldn't do what they do if it wasn't for the hope that their work could benefit them and their family durably? You realise that few book writers are Stephen King or J.K. Rowling, right? I don't even think you consider that side of things, I think you only consider your interests. (Disclaimer : my parents were book writers and struggled.)
Are you fucking kidding? Did you miss the very point I made? Automobile, milk, same thing, I already addressed that question, anywhere knows where to get those, no one know what is Linux or where to get it. In other words : people have no fucking clue what you're telling them to get.
Yes, you see, that's just how neural nets work, you have a problem, throw a "neural net" at it and BAM it learns how to solve it and solves it!
I once took two neural nets, gave one a huge folder of MP3s rated by how good their music is to me, so that the neural net can learn both how to decode MP3s (yeah, why bother decoding MP3s if the neural net can figure it out on its own) and learn how to make good music and churn out lots of original songs.
I gave the second neural net the same folder of rated MP3s for it to learn musical taste, now I feed it the output of the first neural net for it to judge and only keep the best songs.
Right now the best song it has produced isn't very memorable, but things are steadily improving, and according to my projections my neural nets should produce the best song in the world by 2012-2013! In the meantime I'm busy teaching a neural net how to write books, which I'll use for my next best-seller, titled "Neural nets - What can't they do?".

Haha, so true.
It's funny when Oprah says it

Occam's Razor is that the simplest answer is true,
Occam's Razor says that the explanation of a phenomena should make as few assumptions as possible.
Yadda yadda, Occam's Toothbrush says that the simplest definition is true.

How disposable is the device if you are in the field relying on it to bring back realtime intelligence from a drone?
Have a spare? Besides, we're talking about a country's army forces whose troopers had to buy their own extra body armor.

It's great that regular folk can do these things One thing though - I wonder just how bi
Something about your comment se
Oh come on, who has never watched YouTube while waiting to be told or not to push the red button?
But.. but.. he isn't one of us!
I mean, did Obama even consider the CowboyNeal option?
