Thirty years ago we railed on the soviet union for attacking other sovereign governments and forcing their way of government on them, for imprisoning people without rights or due process, and for a long ugly war in Afghanistan where many civilians were killed in a fairly pointless war. [..] Today [..]
The Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan is often called their own "Vietnam War". The US has a long history of invading countries and forcing governments on them. You want "imprisoning people without rights or due process"? The US did that to a whole population of people in World War II (internment). That's just scratching the surface. Learn some history. It isn't pretty.
I'm not condoning, excusing, or trying to single out the US here. I'm just pointing out that we shouldn't forget mistakes of the past or assume that today's situation is genuinely unique.
And yet, equally populous communities of scientifically enlightened Americans approve of this governmental regulation of truth, while simultaneously disapproving of the Chinese government doing the same thing.
That's a nice apology for Chinese-style censorship that tries to make all censorship equal. In the US you can still teach your kids the ancient Hebrew mythology, spread it online, or whatever. You just can't do it as part of public school because public funds are being used and there's the First Amendment which both forbids the latter while protecting the former: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".
It's absolutely true that there's always a tension between individual freedom and societal good, but China has clearly staked out a position to extreme regulation for the "good" of society.
Somebody who isn't familiar with keyboard commands and gets confronted with a UI that depends on stuff like Ctl-S to save is going to find it cryptic. What you wrote are simple mnemonics that also apply to VI: w = write, q = quit, x = eXit, d = delete, etc.
If you want really cryptic commands, try learning the Emacs equivalents (and I say this as someone who prefer Emacs over vi).
The answer, then, is no, it won't be open source. There's nothing "educational" about keeping the premium parts closed source, as it's been done by many projects. This "firm believer" nonsense is self-serving bullshit.
Googlers are smart guys sounds a bit to much like Jews are really good with money, White people got all the jobs and Blacks sure got rhythm. Quick personality test, which of these made your blood boil?
None, because they are mostly true. Stereotypes exist for a reason.
in many parts of asia gold can be used in lieu of currency.
Which doesn't contradict what I said, "Money is whatever people accept as money, whether it is gold or paper notes." But those people in Asia aren't trading physical gold when they want to buy something online.
Land is real wealth, but in the USA you really don't own your land, quit paying taxes on it and see.
Silly argument. Pretty much any place in the world will have you paying some kind of tax for your land. People expect the government to provide services like fire, police, and roads, but then think they are being stolen from when they have to pay a tax. You want land that you really own? Get a gun and fight off anybody that wants to lay a claim, including the government.
This "real money" argument is bogus. Money is whatever people accept as money, whether it is gold or paper notes. If you want "real" wealth, buy some land, means of manufacture, and a security force to defend them.
I'd also love to see the gold bugs actually trading physical gold to buy their stuff online. Of course nobody would do that. They'd use "electronic notes" that stated they could be exchanged for gold, and you'd have fractional reserve banking all over again, complete with another Nixon Shock event when the jig was up.
Mod this guy up. It is ridiculous that the most sanguine point I have seen yet is being modded as flamebait.
It's kind of pathetic that somebody railing about the intelligence of others can't even form complete sentences that end in periods. I also don't think "sanguine" applies to what he said. You probably meant "salient".
You've been mislead by the summary. As my anonymous sibling said, "Bed rest is how they induced bone loss in order to test the test. The test itself does not require bed rest."
The test is just analyzing urine. From the article: "With the new technique, bone loss is detected by carefully analyzing the isotopes of the chemical element calcium that are naturally present in urine. Isotopes are atoms of an element that differ in their masses. Patients do not need to ingest any artificial tracers and are not exposed to any radiation, so there is virtually no risk, the authors noted."
Creationism is about acknowledging the existence of design in all things (molecular, atomic, sub-atomic), and believing it to have been purposed, instead of having come to be by pure chance. That's the bottom line.
God of the Gaps. Creationism came about as a negative answer to the evolution of species. In modern times, anybody who isn't willfully ignorant can see the evolution of species in the fossil record, and so now they retreat into areas like fine tuning of physical constants.
It always breaks my heart... To hear about a young man on a path to providing joy and happiness to millions, only to lose his way and become a business executive.
German law thinks nothing about that. Obviously a web site is not a person standing on the streets shouting: "germans did not kill jews! Its a jewish conspiracy!"
You think the laws only consider somebody ranting on the street versus published material framed in an academic setting? That's just not true.
If you had read the web site, you linked, you had noticed it does in fact supports the german stand point ^-^
In what way? The website I linked to was Wikipedia. It is an encyclopedia which describes the major claims of the deniers, the history of denialism, and the reactions and criticism to it, including laws against it as well as attempted legislation against it that was struck down.
While the irony/hypocrisy is duly noted, there's a lot of ways in which the US does not or has not lived up to its ideals, but that doesn't make the argument wrong.
Well, in germany we try to differentiate beetween prooven historic facts and freedom of speech.
I understand the reasoning behind it, but it's a dangerous precedent when the government decides "official" history that can't be questioned. In the US, the neo-Nazis are marginalized and anybody denying the Holocaust is considered a hateful, fringe lunatic. They are not, however, put in prison for their views. The same goes for 9/11 "truthers" or cranks that think the US didn't go to the moon.
Even that assumes 10% growth for the next 10 years, which is rather good.
10% is rather shitty, actually, given their dominant position and growth rates for similarly placed companies in recent tech history. If Facebook continues it's dominance and manages to get more advertising dollars, then the price is reasonable. It's still a gamble, of course, all investing is.
Taking the work and calling it your own would be plagiarism, in addition to copyright infringement. Copyright is just what the name implies, the right to copy.
The other thing is, those copies that magically end up on your hard drive also end up on other people's hard drives. That's why I don't use peer-to-peer when I want to copy something. I'm not going to be liable for lots of money if all I do is watch a video on YouTube.
Facebook already pockets 14% of all advertising money spent in the US
I guessed the mistake you made even before I clicked the link, as I knew that number was way too high. That's online advertising, not all US advertising. From your link: "Facebook earns about 1.1% of all ad dollars spent in the US".
I know some people think life begins and ends with the Internet, but the non-virtual world still exists.
Not to mention, in JPM's case, they actually bailed out the taxpayers to some degree, by agreeing to buy Bear Stearns.
Bullshit. The government assumed a risk of about $30 billion in loans to cover the toxic assets, while letting JPMorgan buy the profitable part (initially for $2/share, then for $10/share when the shareholders raised a stink about how badly they were getting screwed). The whole thing was a gift to Bear's creditors and to JPMorgan from the Fed, with a little bit of salve to the shareholders.
Some people want a family life and to have kids. Procreation is the long-term game. If he's just banging chicks and not using protection, then he's going to be paying out the money in child support anyways.

No.
I never understood Wave. And I think that was typical of the problem Google had with it - no one really knew what the main idea was.

I wonder, by the way, what German law thinks about a site like Wikipedia that discusses the issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial
Even that assumes 10% growth for the next 10 years, which is rather good.
