And look how even such a simple, inoffensive, not to mention completely correct comment here on a silly blog, gets immediately down modded.
I think where he lost everybody is right around the part where the giant fucking [citation needed] tag at the end of the sentence should be. Who exactly is "The Left" that is targeting him? Oh yeah, it's a corporate patent troll. Who, I wouldn't be going too far out on a limb to assume, likely falls on "The Right" side of your magical line.
Should I get off your lawn now, or can I wait till later?
Hell, I'd infinitely rather have 3G everywhere at the max capable speed (which is surprisingly high!) than even a single base station with 5G.
Replace 3G in this sentence with 4G and I'd be happy to agree with you. In my experience 3G wasn't fast enough. It wasn't fast enough when they first turned it on, it wasn't fast enough when they started replacing it with LTE.
To bad the article doesn't actually mention how Hydraulic Fracturing could have had anything to do with the explosion.
We could change the title to "Oil well, that happened to be hydro fracked, exploded." I'd still have a problem with it because, according to the lack of info in the article, the fact that it was fracked before it exploded had nothing to do with it exploding.
But what will the hipsters complain about when their art (or History, or Linguistics, or Sociology) degree didn't actually cost them anything, but still can't find a job? Someone has to be to blame for keeping them down.
I'm all for the idea of socialized education (let's call it what it is) as long as that education system actually produces useful graduates.
Insurance is just that, insurance. As Chris Rock put it, it should be called "in case shit".
Here is how I envision a solution to your dilemma. People can choose to exempt themselves and their family from purchasing health insurance. If you require treatment you pay for it before you receive it. Don't have the money? Well, sorry bud, come back after you secure financing.
You've had a cheap existence, health-care wise. Others haven't been so lucky. Maybe you will continue to be lucky, maybe you won't. Are you willing to sign that paper requiring prepayment for medical services?
I imagine RIGHT NOW there is a guy at the NSA running down the hall with a piece of paper in his hand. Any second now he's going to burst through his boss's door, out of breath, and slap that piece of paper on his desk. "Sir, it appears that this guy, Anonymous Coward, has the countries problem solved. Here is his contact info, get this to the President immediately."
You think you can do better? What's the fucking hold up then? Go fucking fix it instead of spewing more useless bullshit and clogging up the internet.
Don't forget how it incentivizes the private sector, to shift all full time jobs, to part time jobs, to avoid having to pay for health insurance, which is 3 times higher than was promised.
Is the GOP paying for your astroturfing by the comma?
...people will be all like "ooh, that's so lame, it can't do 1080p, 2012 wants its 1280x800 displays back, blah blah blah".
I just talked to 2012, they said they don't really want their 1280x800 displays back, in fact they asked if I could send something 1920x1080 back instead.
To anyone saying that the workers just want to fraudulently sign in for someone else and abuse the system needs to try again and come up with a real argument. The assumption that workers just want to screw over employers is elitist...
Hahahahhaaaahhahaha! Really? You obviously have not worked with a union workforce before, and have NO IDEA how often this kind of crap happens. Yes, as a group, union workers are a good group of men and women dedicated to doing their jobs in a professional manner. 95% of them will give you 8 hours work for 8 hours pay. But, there are the 5% out there that will expend more effort looking for ways to avoid work than they will actually doing work. It's unfair to me as an employer. It's unfair to the person paying the bills, my customer. And it's unfair to the 95% of the people that don't abuse the system.
Using computers and touch screens because they are new and fancy is stupid when a pen and paper will do.
How about using technology to improve a process? Yeah, pen and paper will most certainly get the job done. That doesn't mean it's the best way to do it. Five years ago my company would have told you there is absolutely nothing wrong with their paper time sheets. Now that they have a touch-screen based time-keeping system, they understand how old and broken their paper time-sheet system was.

Very good company with some extremely talented engineers. They are fairly expensive, but you certainly get what you pay for.
AAAH, gotta love liberals. "If we take their guns away they won't kill anybody", and "The government will protect the people once we take all the guns away from the law-abiding ones"
Having a gun, or any other weapon, does not make any society more or less peaceful. It is how they choose to use, or not use, that weapon that determines their peacefulness. As I recall, people were killing other people long before guns were involved.
Making a weapon illegal will never stop someone who wants to kill someone from killing.
How does this horse shit get modded +5?
Ok, Is anyone else here a little miffed at the OP calling this guy a "hacker"? He didn't hack a frickin' thing! He typed in a couple of responses to security questions and got her password reset.
I wouldn't even call this guy a script-kiddie. I'd call him a dumbass that knows how to do a google search.
I could only have hoped for such a thing this morning. I really didn't want to get up for work this morning. Getting rid of my whole state would have solved that problem quite sufficiently.
It does kind of remind me of Austin Powers though:

To put it like Zero Punctuation's Yahtzee might: The video game industry is a sea of vomit and that's the qualitative standard against which new games are measured. The better ones are usually very nice and pretty examples of vomit but they're still vomit. The few gems people like Blizzard release can't change the fact that we're waist-deep in gastric acid.
I don't like to point out the obvious... but you added punctuation to "zero punctuation's" quote. =)
I have found that as long as your jeans don't say abercrombie, american-eagle, jnco, or hollister, and they cover your entire ass, they are perfectly ok. It's those other "irregular" jeans that people should be checking for, and doing our best to weed out of the population. I find it is very easy to lure them into a big hole. All you have to do is drag some obscenely big sunglasses along on a string. Kind of like fishing, for stupid people.
How do you "know what you're looking for" without searching the web exactly?
It's worth noting that Microsoft would love nothing more than to bundle as many free utilities as they could, but their hands are tied thanks to those who whined to the DOJ.
I couldn't agree with you more MeRLiN. I remember buying my PC with windows 98(?) and it came with a copy of Office, FOR FREE. But the whiney little bastards from Corel(IIRC) bitched too much about creating a monopoly, and now we have to pay 300$ a copy for it. THANKS GUYS! BTW, how's Word Perfect these days?

No real advantage over 3G at the moment.

If I was the kind of person that got paid to fix other peoples dumb shit I would LOVE to have the army of idiots out there bolster their numbers!

No one wants them? I'd happily take those 1-2 billion coins off their hands, with an agreement that I slowly put them in to circulation.

This article honestly pissed me off. I thought I had wandered on to The Onion, but nope, its Forbes. And yup, that was a %100 percent serious article.

Article says nothing about a shoe.. Sorry Bush, looks like you are going to have to rely on your cat-like reflexes.

No, but they sure managed to get ahead by exploiting underpaid workers and creating big-ass tariff free zones. That seemed to do the trick...

Apologize for the confusion.
Aren't they trying to pass a law preventing someone from offing themselves because of something they saw on MySpace?
