Really. actually even pre 19th century - times in which where knowledge was more theory than practice.
Now, it should be practice. tests should be abolished. people should be given continuous assignments, projects and workshops, and instead learn things while doing them, as it should be - instead of memorizing stuff from a textbook and courses and to write them down when prompted.
there is a certain level of public participation and opinion at which police/military side with protesters. this has been the case in all previous occurrences in different countries. in usa, its not yet there.
fascism is a certain wealthy segment, which manifests as various corporate holders, holding the administration through a dictator they support. there has been no exceptions. nazis, mussolini, peron, they all had a certain corporate elite backing them into power, which continued to dictate policies through them after they got dictators placed. for example, not even at the highest peak of world war ii, when germany needed full mobilization very badly, nazi government did not take control of companies and factories, and instead kept performing 'bid-contract' method of capitalist government acquisitions for both resources and military design and manufacturing.
fascism is basically corporatism. just, in the u.s. you are in the early stages of it. if it goes a bit further, you will see the fascist traits you know by default. actually a number of them, like ndaa, the attempts to censor are already here.
To be honest, i never thought that i would see such thoughts and philosophies, and such awareness about the depravity of the current system in mainstream in my lifetime.
im quite pleased in the direction the awareness is going. i think, even if i dont see the full materialization of these ideals immediately in my lifetime, i can still die a happy camper. however, at this rate things are going, i may actually see the realization of those ideas before i bite the dust.
its exciting. i thank everyone who is participating in these awareness movements to change the world for the better.
CLIMATE change means, climates will change locally, and in micro-climate level.
global warming means, the AVERAGE world temperature will rise. 2 degrees celsius rise in a temperature, wouldnt be felt in your locale if happened. you wouldnt notice it.
but, if AVERAGE world temperature rises by 2 degrees celsius, this means that to effect that AVERAGE rise, innumerable local and micro-climates around the world will change, in WHATEVER fashion.
hence, the CLIMATE CHANGE term. a more correct term that describes the EFFECT that the CAUSE, global warming, has.
some locales may not see ANY change. some locales may get freaking hot. some locales may get cold. some locales may become rainforests. some locales can go humid, some go dry. some become exceedingly windy. ANYthing goes.
so, some ice melting around the world, some staying, is perfectly normal.
climate change is more destructive, because it is impossible to predict what will change and how.
whereas many countries, including germans with their impeccable engineering and psychopath security standards (on top of what eu requires) shutting down all reactors and going off of nuclear in around a decade, america knows it better.
"Oh no, THEY are mistaken. but, we are not !!".................
then again, we have to be a fan of nuclear thing in slahsdot, right ? because it is 'geek' ?
this discussion has ran its course. you are basically saying that i am lazy because im unwilling to accept working like a dog all my life and being content with it, whereas someone else works for 5 years and sits on his ass for all his life. self centered assholery revolving on personal biases and nothing else.
ill leave you to your egocentric world, in which everyone else than you are lazy fucks.
At elance.com and similar places. you will have a difficult time winning bids from 15/hr rate against indian houses at first, but as your reputation increases, you will easily win bids, and after a time your hourly rate will increase and people will seek you out. eventually, you will start working with a party in permanent basis and go off the market.
No, you're not. You've got a weekly/monthly paycheck.
ok then, let the author take weekly/monthly paycheck for the book he is working on RIGHT at that time. not what he did a decade ago.
The author does not have such a thing. They spend time of their life creating something,
i spent my life on my skills, and i risk going unemployed if noone wants my skills. i cant get continual paychecks for the great cluster-save move i pulled off at some late hours of the night, saving a megacorp's online assets from disaster 3 years ago in that datacenter either. the author, does. he has no right to that. he should go unemployed and penniless, just like what happens to all of us when noone wants what we have, or what we have done before. if it is a gamble, everyone should be entitled to live their lives on a gamble.
either we all have that privilege or neither do they.
Causes the disparage between poor and rich to be to the extent of 15% wealth to 85% of population, 72% of wealth to 5% of population, and then STILL those who get 72% of everything can get away with not paying tax whereas the majority 85% which are doing only with 15% wealth keep paying it. An unique system of inequality.
Actually not so unique. That was exactly the case in late roman republic and early roman empire. it ended very badly, with all small farm owners and free citizens losing their livelihoods and having to indenture themselves to bigger farm holders (latifundia) - and thats how feudalism had started.
that seems more workable than the ridiculous format we have now.
and actually, the majority of artists who didnt make it to the small percentage at top earns their living like that anyway. the comedians, vaudeville artists, small time troupes.
There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no saber, wtf dude !?!?!
Im also checking out japanese for some time now. the way sentences are structured always places the emphasis/main point at the end of the sentences. therefore, you have to wait for the sentence to end, to get the full meaning. only in situations that are quite evident, you can grasp what the person is saying from start-mid of the sentence. in general, you have to wait. coincidentally 'reading the sitaution/atmosphere' seems to be a common metaphor that is used/practiced in the japanese culture. as for the main point, japanese culture is quite shaped with a practice of being patient/persevering things through the end. it even reflects on their pop culture.
if i work for 2 years, and then stop working for the rest of the decade, noone gives me money.
if an author works for 2 years, and stop working for the rest of the decade, he still gets millions.
comparing the time author spends working, and i spend working, i am already WORKING FOR FREE.................
so the author can just go screw himself over the remaining (!) 1-2 million $ profit he has not made over the ones he have made.
i dont give a zit.
when the author starts working EVERY DAY like me, he can claim something. if he hatches a book and then lives on it for a decade, he can go fuck himself.
guy.
i dont have the slightest respect for such a style of living. therefore, cut the guilt trip.
I don't give a shit. None of that gives you the right to essentially take their work for free.
it does. you are not entitled to laziness.
Only an entitled little snot like you would actually think this is what happens. Most artists are CONSTANTLY touring, performing, and basically working their asses off. Whether or not you want to admit this is irrelevant: You are not entitled to their work without compensation.
this entitled snot works EVERY DAY, whereas the people you are defending to be working (constantly touring my ASS), are indulging themselves with 1 album a year.
working their asses off ? so, youre saying that someone who tours with a groupie bus/plane, works their ass of ?
tell that 'musicians work their ass off' to some server admin in some dark datacenter corner, keeping the infrastructure that runs the internet you post on, up, and see how fast you would be beaten to pulp.
just shut the fuck up. you are representing everything that is wrong with that culture of laziness.
i repeat :
when artists work EVERY DAY for REAL, and instead do not reap the benefits of something they did 10 years ago over and over and over and over, motherfucker, they can get my money.
im not gonna give any lazy ass perpetual money for something they did a decade ago. if you object, start giving me money because of this post i have written over and over for the next decade. after a decade, i will buy out a law that renewshttp://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2660813&cid=38972327# my right, and you will keep giving me money for another decade.
Google, amazon, rackspace et al, should NOT stay idle in this calm phase. The only way to end this censorship threat is to kill dinosaur industries of movie, music and news media. OR, the least, buy out entire houses and government and keep the bought out representatives in eternal vigilance against those industries, and legislate against their evil. im using the word buy/bought, since the mpaa chairman finally dropped the pretense about bribery in politics.
On the non government organizations side, eff, savetheinternet.org et al should continually campaign not only against such potential laws, but also campaign against the incumbent dinosaur industries and teach people what they are trying to do, and what their evil intentions are. it should be so that no such bastard-on-a-leash should be able to dare issue any statement in favor of the media axis of evil. Also these ngos should push for pro-internet legislation.
lets boil it down to what it came to be in the end :
this is a war in between rich media vs internet.
internet, is us. it is 'we, the people'. and obviously, the media is 'they'. and they do not have any hesitation of classifying this as 'us vs them' themselves - long ago they classified us as the enemy.
so lets not be politically correct about this, and call the turd by its name. incumbent media is our enemy.

congrats dude. you just confirmed my proposition. there are a lot of people who are ignorant about what political terms are, but keep on using them.
bullshit. mask was an icon right after the movie was released, especially in internet underground.
like "lul", "lulz" or "lullaz" ? or "lolzors", for that matter ?

just fuck off. really.
you know, from fred ford and paul reiche. the people who made star control 2. (known as ur quan masters now).
a sequal to it would be great. ...........
a sequal to star control 2 i mean. NOT to star control 3. i consider it 'another game'.

So the circus had finally started for REAL at last ...
so, governments spending 100+ bn/year to railguns and whatnot, is something better ?

yes it does make him a better person than the rest of us. including me.

It takes an author years of their life to arrange the words in such a way as to bring entertainment value to you in the form of a book
it takes an author YEARS of their life ?
ok. i will totally avoid entering into subjects like ghost writers, copycating and whatnot, and will just ask you instead :
so, the author can spend years of his/her life to create a something, and then s/he can just sit on that for the rest of his/her life ?
please tell them to fuck off. if a server admin is working every day to earn his/her living, they will do that too.
either nobody has to work every day of their lives, or everybody has to.
