This shows how deep is the retardedness that is valuing form over substance in our society is. Few buttons to push and shiny metallic corners on an object is more important than any stuff that make those stuff actually run.
200,000 + people in page, 120 k+ are currently talking about it. its bigger than most politicians' pages. Support is really global, and there are people from all walks of life. Albeit, of course, people who have their dinners in monaco.

Observe the below complaint and solution about glossy screens on macs making visual work hard in office environments due to glares:
The only viable solution to the problem is to buy a screen from a third-party manufacturer. “I want to see only the images and applications I’m using, not reflections of the room around me, and I often look at the screen for up to 16 hours a day,” says photographer Bill Wisser. “Recently, I bought $7,000 of computer equipment, including a new eight-core Mac Pro and a new 30in monitor – a Dell.
he could have just bought much better pc equipment and an even bigger monitor with a whopass budget like 7000. he chose to buy macs. and he suffers for it.
Well, such a long post deserves a careful response.
Look at this oath people made when becoming serfs, does it sound like freedom?
oooof course it doesnt. but compare it to the citizenship oath that is taken in countries of today. and then compare the consequences AFTER. the serf enjoys a share of the economy of his time not only double the contemporary citizen, but also his ass is secured, his livelihood is guaranteed. and he has various rights against his lord, that the citizens of today do not have against corporations or the rich.
I don't know where you are getting this. I got my information from a Scottish castle I visited, with different jails for upper-class and lower-class. The upper class jails were only for crimes committed against other upper class people. Also consider stories such as Fuenteovejuna, where the Comendador certainly abused his serfs, and no one cared (except the serfs themselves, of course).
class discrimination was always there. nobles and serfs were treated differently. actually at times nobles were treated much more harshly due to rivalries and political circumstances, however yes, class discrimination existed.
fast forward to today. how many rich stockholders have you seen to get into jail ? how many wall street banksters got into jail ? even nobles of middle ages faced heavy prosecution from their lords if they screwed a major battle or a political situation or depleted coffers. what happens now ? nothing.
as far as abuse goes, corporate clauses and environments carry much abuse today. even if its not gallows and torture right ahead. im not going to get into government torture.
Yeah I can, lol, it's not too hard. Although there isn't much demand for blacksmith products now, which is fine, it's kind of a labor-intensive way to make things.
no you cant. even if you dont have a family, kids, anyone to take care of, you will probably not be able to spend your accumulated wealth (if there is any) while you are trying to start blacksmithing career. and due to the capitalist environment created hardships, if there is any money to be made there, you can bet that many people attempted it. not because they like it. but because they need it. so, you will probably have to fight for your survival while trying to be what you want to be. that is, if you can make out a living. and even then the standard of your living will be questionable, and you will be hard pressed to consider starting a family with your situation.
Yeah, they were democratically elected, but there was only one candidate and that person was appointed by the party in power!
that is not correct. there were multiple candidates. it is possible that the factions in the party agreed on one candidate, or put 2-3 candidates from their side beforehand. this is not too different in usa at all.
What? Voter turnout in the Soviet Union was at 99.99% Everyone participated except the bourgeois swine.
see, thats another problem. capitalist environment debased democracy so much that, when i say 'participation' you understand 'voter turnout'. i didnt at all mean that. i meant participation in the political SYSTEM as party members, representatives, agents. it was possible for everyone back then, even if you would naturally come against the obstacles that people who were there before you create to latecomers.
Was it? They had 41 hour work weeks. You could easily have more free time than that in America if you were willing to live by Soviet living standards.
there are many wrong approaches above. first, in america you dont have 41 hour work week. that is if you are in upper middle class. many people not only do overtime, but majority also have to juggle jobs or do overtime if they dont want to get in the red. legal workhour limit and actual always differs. it didnt in soviet union.
bullshit. apple's tablet looks like many other tablets before it from the front. apple is only riding on the shiny rounded metallic corner shit from the back.
only if when you invade with 18 countries right at the start of a revolution to suppress the people and reinstall aristocracy. this was what britain did in 1917.
at least capitalism did not get immediate armed retaliation like communism did back in 1917. 'leader of the free world' great britain landed with other 18 'free nations' in order to suppress the revolution and reinstall aristocracy. when failed, they funded civil war. when failed, they started to blockade and build up arms. the revolution did not have any chance to breathe, and due to these, it was usurped by sociopath and schizophrenic factions right at the start. natural, considering what happened.
man. i work with a computer, and being bored of gaming recently after the 20 years i gamed, i am at a loss to find any kind of activities that may entertain me in front of a computer. so, i am in need of some activity that will cater to me, before i cater to world peace at this point.
so ? whats the difference ? the name and charter of the organization ? riaa is not a monopoly by the way - it represents 4 or more music interests. it is an organization.
in capitalism, every capital holder is a major interest out for itself. it doesnt matter whether the holder is an individual or a corporation. and all holders seek to protect their interests through any means. this is a corollary of wealth equating to power to affect things. you can never maintain any kind of 'free' market in an environment where it is possible to accumulate unbound or huge economic power.
im actually at a loss to find stuff to do on my new powerful rig. i asked in a few forums, and they told me a few things, including video encoding. but, none of these count as a daily activity for me that would give me any benefit, leave aside fun. so, cpu in my rig remains underutilized.
its not a left issue. its a right issue - its capitalism : in this case the corporation is lecturers' union. in the case of music, it is the music corporations. in case of movies, its hollywood corporations.
its capitalism - if something may prevent your easy profits, prevent it even if it costs a major innovation for civilization.
heh, ok, so lets look at this in terms of freedom. Do you really think serfs were more free than you?
yes. they had the wealth to do things. they were limited on what they could do by law. now, we are not limited on what we could do by law, but we are limited by wealth. it is a freedom only in appearance. richer you are, freer you be.
In those days, if a 'noble'man want to kill a serf, or rape her, he could, with no problems. . It was completely legal.
wrong. please dont talk without knowing shit. there was no such thing. read what "common law" of medieval england is.
In those days, you belonged to your master.
wrong. feudal contract loaded more obligations to lords than the capitalist social contract loads onto the rich now. nobles were expected to go and die in the wars. they were considered tenants in king's lands, and they were in turn landlords to their tenants, from their underlords, small nobles to serfs. everyone had their obligations. any lord was obliged with making sure of livelihood of serfs in his land. leaving these contracts unfulfilled invalidated oaths of fealty to the lord. whatever level that may be.
If you wanted to become a blacksmith, it was not always easy to follow your will.
that was due to guild structure. and it was not something that is the product of feudalism, but late roman emperors. ironically, the nation and culture america has always been modeled after, from its political systems to its architecture.
now, you are free to become a blacksmith. but can you ? you are limited in practice.
What about the Soviet Union? Do you feel they were more free, since they were much more equal?
actually they were much more free than us. they were politically limited, and their movement was limited. but, the amount of time they had in their hands for leisure was phenomenal. writing, arts, literature were common activities among the populace back in those days. all the while americans were rotting their lives away in front of tv screens of 1950s.
they were limited in those things, but actually when the other respects of the system are considered, the limitations become hazy - the state would appoint you to jobs, but you would decide what you would become. you could go and enter exams of a certain university/branch, and if you win, you would just study there, graduate and do that job. you had no worries of livelihood, survival, tuition and so forth. in america, currently, you have to not only qualify for the college/university you are applying, but also come up with the cash to pay it, AND then whether you will actually find a job in your field is questionable.
political freedom was limited. but, the soviet system was ironically one with more federalization and democratic participation than current usa, or even switzerland. there were assemblies in every level ranging from municipal to state, from state level to federal level, and each of them were democratically elected, in turn electing their executives. so if you wanted, you could just participate in democratic system and implement what you wanted.
but, the deal is, participation in the system was as low as america. so, those participated had the control. and, if the situations and times were tense, like 1917 and on (leader of the free world britain landed with 18 other countries in order to suppress the populace and reinstall the czar back in 1917-1918) and immediately after world war ii, psychopaths and sociopaths always got ahold of the country due to the environment of fear.
actually, at 1917 revolution, the motto was peace at home, peace abroad. they immediately declared peace with everyone and denounced any kind of wars. but then, british happened. and 18 other countries as her allies, came to reinstate tzar and aristocracy. when failed, they funded civil war with gold and arms. made white russians kill
