That's true, but if a spokesperson says "We do x, and i keep getting annoyed cos people say we don't", even though he's toeing the company line, then it's a valid slam if they don't actually do x.
I agree, except that Manna seems to ignore how economics works - if the majority of people can't afford to buy stuff, the economy tanks bigtime, and you eventually get rioting and large scale anarchy.
Coming from someone who (probably) lives in a Republic (based on the poster's apparent feelings about the subject), where the president isn't decided by the vote of the people but instead an Electrol College, that rant is pretty damn hilarious. Added to that the fact that you're advocating Free Speech as long as it agrees with what you think, and you have my vote for "Rant of the Day". Well Done Sir (or Madam).
What you're missing is the fact that while the stress is certainly there, you're much less likely to starve (and thus suffer the side effects, such as a lowered immune system, issues when the body is developing), the diet can be more easily balanced (as opposed to what's on the patch of ground you'd be foraging on), people with diseases and/or afflictions (like asthma, diabetes, poor eyesight) can have them treated to the point where they aren't anywhere a hindrance, and the amount of injuries that a hunter-gatherer tribe would incur (such as broken bones, rashes, puncture marks, etc) are almost nonexistant today (and survivable, too, including the infection that normally comes afterwards such injuries).
I like how you started out discussing EVE and then take a violent turn into what must be one of your pet hates, plus you managed to get +3 Insightful. kudos. I look forward to future rants of yours.
The first thing i'd do is TAKE IT HOME and use it. Granted, before reading this article my personal data would be out there, but i'd never put something like that into a work computer.
You're right, america has separation of Church and State. That's why it says "In God we Trust" on your money and your president/senators/congresspeople swear on a bible before taking office. Uhuh.
One reason is that if it's "Store Policy", then it cuts out the bitching and moaning of those underage trying to buy smokes without id. A simple "You need id or you're not going to be allowed to buy any" fixes all the problems.
It's suddenly become an issue again, and people are wondering how the fuck they're supposed to fix the problem with aborigines if there's nothing for them to do where they are. There are no jobs to be had where they are and no source of income other than welfare (in the small, out-of-the-way townships that i think you're talking about).
Yes, the same CIA that was caught by surprise by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall, can't find osama, and found Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.

Uh, everyone has a vested interest in the outcome, Bram included. His voice is more relevant than most, cos he actually understands wtf goes on. He might not be right, but to dismiss him because he doesn't agree with you is a load of crock.
Actually, while they're making a fair bit of money, shareholders are not happy, as the level of money they're making isn't justifying the high price of the shares.
There's also the problem that while search is going gangbusters, it's the only part of their business that is going well, and that their addon services (google video etc) aren't getting the large takeup that their search has, leaving them vulnerable if something happens to the profitability of their search business.

See, I like comparisons which compare products that are actually out, because comparing product a with (hypothetical) product b inevitably ends up with "product b rocks! shame it isn't out yet. can't be bought. benchmarks will be x. probably. if everything works out"
It's totally fair. You could say that the upcoming amd chips *might* be better than what intel is rolling out now, but to say it isn't 'fair' smacks of fanboiism.
they could also use passive triggers, only become active if certain conditions were met, which would allow spies inside to control the outflow of information that would otherwise be blocked by hardware and software. even if they used active messages, you're talking about governement departments like Homeland Security, which fail computer security tests by the GAO every time they are audited.

I owe you an unreserved apology then, although i now have no idea where you live.

I would imagine they'd want to capture people and equipment alive and in one piece, what with the need to turn back on functionality they've lost.
awww, didums.
