For many of us Americans, The debate over health care is not about quality or availability, but rather it is about who has the power to control quality and availablility of our health care. Socialized health care gives the government the power (through cash flow) to prescribe what our health care should be like. Given our current negative cash flow in the federal budgets I am not very optimistic about what health care will be like if we were to socialize that part of our society.

Our roads and schools receive most of their funding from state and local taxes. To sugest that this is an example of what Federal socialized health care would be like is very misleading.

I do not know if the grandparent post was refering to insecurity from the clients point of view or the servers. However, if the website depends on js for input validation then the website is fundamentaly insecure. If we are looking at security from the users perspective then I am mindfull of cross site scripting, an attack method that is #2 on the OWASP top 10 list. JS can be done correctly but the user has to trust not only the site they are visiting, but also every advertizement or other object that the page has requested from some outside source. As a web developer I know, as I think you do, that js can be made safe. You are technicaly correct that js is just a language. But, I suspect that even you realize that simply trusting all js that is loaded into your browser is inherently insecure.

Mod parent up. This is one of the most insightful post I have seen. There is no way that shooting blanks over our own cities (or real bullets in foreign cities) is going to make anyone love our government or the millitary. Our millitary has testing grounds to fire real bullets at. The only reason to perform this exercise over civilians is to get some form of reaction from the civilian. It has worked. There are now many of us who believe that those who previously were considered crazy, are infact right. I am now convenced that our government is actively against us. Who could have imagined that the day would come when I would be affraid of my own government?

Now I am jealous. I have always wanted an ESP printer :)

Season 1 Ep 4 - "The Naked Time" of the original Star Trek has all these qualifications and more. As a long time Trek fan, I honestly thought that this episode, more than any other, was the inspiration for the 2009 reboot. It was even the first Trek show to have time travel into the past.

I use gnome3 every day on my HP tc4400 tablet (it works great). I use xfce4 on my dualscreen desktop where it works better than gnome3 ever will. The developers of gnome3 are fixated on controling my experiance, and the forced 3d accelleration is simply not an option on my desktop machine. One example of the way the gnome3 devs have changed things for the worse is that "alt + tab" will not cycle through your windows any more. Instead (for some god awful retarded reason) they group windows of similar type. so when you want to copy something between two lowriter windows you can't use "alt + tab". It is (sadley) faster to move the mouse into the top left corner of the screen and then hunt for the other lowriter window among all the other shrunken windows. This is not "bitching because it doesn't work like the old software". This is a very real demonstration of how stupid some of the "features" of gnome3 are.

I noticed this too. I had always assumed that there were simply multiple ways of travel being sugested based on the fact that there were so many worlds who brought their technology to the galactic party. Some cultures on far away worlds developed "lightspeed" travel, while others found "hyperspace". The really mixed and divers galactic culture would have adopted both means of travel.

I have tried shopping at several second-hand stores and have found that their prices are way to high. I have priced garments that are priced around 75% the cost of a new garment. And what they sell is often well worn clothing that was donated after the death of a loved one to clean out the closets. These clothes should be sold at pennies on the dollar to help the local poor, but instead they are treated like gold. Economically, it is better to buy the new clothes and get a lot longer use out of them, than to save a buck or two on mostly worn out, over priced, second hand garments.
