it replicates itself through advertising and marketing and stupid hosts. once it installs on some computer, it doesnt go away unless wipe the thing clean with a format.
i installed it once in 1996 or something. the shock was so great that i have never, ever used anything that was remotely affiliated with norton. what's more appalling is that, they have not changed their behavior since the passing 14 years.
The East India Tea company didn't say "Raise taxes on tea". It was big government (King George), who wanted to pay for British programs on the backs of the American colonies... something the Americans had no say in due to the turn around time in sending representatives.
i am sure that i am not getting my history at the place you are getting. for its full of shit.
'king george' is big government. east india company is not. who is east india company ? and who is that big government ? BRITISH ARISTOCRACY. and their ultimate figurehead AND representative, is king george.
and why did king george raise taxes ?
to recover debts which were incurred while warring against france for the benefit of those said companies, including east india company. EXACTLY what is happening with the countless wars in both military and economic fronts.

a minority MUCH smaller than the british aristocracy and gentry is owning the american economy now.
top 7% owns 72% of everything. this statistic does not include offshore accounts, swiss bank stored wealth, or complicated proxy share holderships. if you count them in, the percentage will go to 1% owning more than 90%.
so basically, the entire american people are working for a minority which is actually SMALLER than %1 of their population. and that minority wants to keep it that way.
the difference in between 1774 and 2011 is people like you justifying/rationalizing by loading the blame onto peripheral water vapor enemies, like 'big government'.
in fact, when i saw the 'big government' keyword, i recognized that you were a right wing dronelet.and instead i should have ceased discussing. discussing with your kind is no different than telling a radical islamist or christian that the world is not flat. see ? you even have totally exonerated the entire british aristocracy that was running both east india company and entire britain, by loading the blame into the persona of one person. you could as well blame the french for all the things that went wrong back then and refrain from revolution ?
one wonders why the hell did the forefathers even fight that revolution. people who would rationalize aristocracy if they lived in that age, are still rationalizing aristocracy in its different incarnations. pointless effort to liberate such people.
pointless. the corporations will just guarantee lucrative employment after their term for candidates through backdoor dealings, and get their way. thats what they already do with bureaucrats - the people who you cant directly donate money. what happened with the ex fcc commissioner you think ? google it.
huh ? if 0.1% of the society controls everything, buys laws, protects their interests while keeping the rest down for their own profit, it means there IS a class warfare and the majority is losing it.
the same kind of thing was being done with british monarchy back in 1774. why did you revolt against them. why didnt you say 'its class warfare ! we should stay united !' ?
the monarch and its immediate lower hierarchy was just enforcing their rightful share out of your economy through taxes.
the top 5% of america takes 70% out of your economy, even before taxes.
so if the crown did not take 70% of your economy through taxes, but instead did it through corporate and shareholder/fund ownership schemes, you were not going to revolt ?
once you start introducing exceptions to free speech, you end up with free speech zones. just like what happened. once the equation that allows introduction of exceptions is allowed, the government uses it to introduce exceptions to make free speech impractical.
you dont need to go dark to do that. a huge headline with a catchline about net freedom being in danger and a page that tells about sopa in simple terms and calls to action with a link in that headline, would be a total kill on those senators/circuscritters.
Theyll try to buy a new law when the dust settles. the only way to fix this, is to go on constant offensive, and buy lawmakers and laws FOR the internet, and to prevent content industry from buying laws AGAINST it.
You're missing the point. Free speech can be used as an aggressive tool to infringe on the rights of others, which was never the intent of the First Amendment
and when you say that 'free speech' becomes totally pointless and impractical. the moment you say 'what constitutes free speech' and start defining it, free speech goes out of the window.
are you aware that the founding fathers you spoke of were not that stupid as to not be able to realize that 'free speech' could cause some schmucks to set up a stool in front of their garden door and start shouting their ideas there endlessly ? not that they themselves did not do it either. free speech was put in without a condition for a reason...
I believe in freedom of speech. If some individual wants to stand up in public and say that he supports depriving every citizen of free speech and due process of law to help save the profitability of a 90 year old mouse cartoon - then I will defend his right to do that.
and then that individual will find/brainwash others like him, increase in numbers, become an economical/political power, and then really shut you up. democratically. all that will end up happening will be the irony of letting democracy be destroyed 'through democracy'.
that is what most of the islamist groups that are dubbed as 'mild islamist' by the west are doing by the way.
why dont we start beating up such people in back alleys ? the astroturfers i mean ? these people are being paid to deceive us. and they are getting away with it. if someone from our neighborhood did that, there would be a whole lot of mess.
This is what you end up with proprietary solutions. The proprietary vendor has to make money. They know that you will eventually need stuff, and they want to make you pay them.
Go for the open source one. Find a way to be free of vendors as much as possible. go find a proprietary solution that sits in front of a mysql db. so that in future, you may just ditch the proprietary solution and jump to another one, with the same db behind it. or, you can use that setup, while in the meantime developing your custom front/application slowly, and at one point be vendor-free.
in THIS. there seems to be 4-5 accounts that that guy has identified, which go about having always the first post in all google/microsoft related stories. this is what i said.
Did a Google Streetview car run over your dog or something?
or more likely, he is one of them 4-5 shill accounts which always end up having a first post against google/pro microsoft in all relevant subjects. someone was tracking them. i guess s/he will post in this thread too.
virgin galactic may or may not fit into my world view - but i can assure you it definitely does not fit into the world view of the wealthy investors, who are making much more money in high frequency trading automatically, than investing in virgin galactic et al and waiting them to turn a profit.
yes it does. google 'high frequency trading'. and see how money makes money without going through the 'lend, invest, profit' cycle you thought it was going to.
The reality is that weathy people invest their money to remain wealthy. What the hell do you think a hedge fund is? Like most investments, it puts the money to work
yes. in la la land. whereas in real world, they sit in hedge funds, or invested in operations that employ slave labor in china and import the stuff produced for dimes, to sell for dozens of dollars, making huge profits.
you are the one who has no understanding of how real world works. you think life is as they depict in econ 101/102 books.
if you go into 'democracy of some form', you can say that house of lords was a democracy in britain long before anything else. if you go into democracy of some form, you can call only the landed wealthy being able to vote, a 'democracy'. and if that kind of redefinition flies, anything can be redefined into a democracy.
colonies have past the 30,000 scale circa 1640, and these are only british related populations. not counting anything else - pirates, smugglers and so on.
Check it out - we narrowly averted sopa, there is still pipa. those who command the wealth at the top are not hesitant in preventing anything that would harm their own self-interest. they even went as far to create a law that would break the biggest invention of the recent decades - the internet - for that end.
can you say that you can go to space, elevators and private space industry, space colonies etc, in such an environment ? and dont get me started on the whole patent thing.
30 years ago all sorts of stuff was being predicted. space colonies this that. all we ended up has been a widening income/wealth inequality with those amassing wealth doing nothing with that wealth but letting it amass more wealth sitting in the banks. there is no way in hell we will have space elevators, this that, as long as the rich can make more money without making anything. why invest in a space elevator, why you can just let the money sit in hedge funds and let it become more money overnight, without considerable risk... the only ones who will do these would be new internet-era entrepreneurs and rich boys like the ones who are investing in space x thingies etc now. and no way in hell their numbers and wealth can make these stuff come true in a way that would matter for the public.
