"For example, "Free Market" is, for all intents and purposes, the god of capitalism, gets treated that way by everyone, has sacrifices performed to it, has temples and priests trying to predict its capricious whims, is the object of fundamentalist faith - I've had people define a human's very right to live in terms of body ownership - and doctrinal conflicts, etc. Someone who wasn't indoctrinated to the system from birth could hardly avoid classifying this all as a typical religion."

Sounds awfully like feminism or progressivism to me. Ideologies are generally counterproductive my friend, except Buddhism, and that only because its first and last instructions are to reject ideologies, including this one.

The problem with your viewpoint is that most people correctly identify communism with other mass murdering ideologies like nazism, so you are to right thinking folk no different to a nazi. It's not 1960 anymore and you won't be gulling idiots into yet another round of slaughter.

Nope, that was Stalinism and Maoism, which were more true to the communist manifesto and Marx than any smoked salmon socialist.

Just out of interest, which first year course disgorged you? I would like to know for Reasons.

I'm finding the expression of support for an ideological system that racked up the murders of nine figures worth of innocent people in the twentieth century both risible and worrying, but on the subject of broken people, Marx was a chronic lifelong alcoholic who fathered a child on the housemaid that he had kept since she was a child, refused to acknowledge paternity, squandered his own fortune and that of his wife, frequently defaulted on his many debts, was an adulterer, an anti semite and by all accounts a fairly nasty self centred piece of work, as his interactions with Engles reveal.

Perhaps that might cast a fresh light on the value of his ruminations.

He's right though, that thing will drop like a rock. ...aaand apparently it actually is an official release: http://www.esa.int/Our_Activit...

Soon the market for US based programmers will be flooded by a new wave of corporate-sponsored graduates fresh and ready to be burned out, thus driving programmer wages down to "competitive" levels.

Thanks Google!

Yes, the shut-in is high in this story. Epic, mega, fabulous. Everyone else can stick their mountain dew/Dworkin monologues up their arses and die.

Does the ruling apply only to Google or to search engines in general? If as I suspect it's the former, we should really be asking further questions like how one commercial entity came to represent the entire value of the internet...

I'll admit I'm a bit confused by your comment, the link you provided directly contradicts the sentence above it. Also the Mediterranean is already half covered and they're laying the groundwork to go the rest of the way to Africa, so er yeah..

You mean HVDC cables? They're installed all over Europe and are working fine, thanks. It would be pretty straightforward to have several of them piping solar power from the Sahara and wind power from the North Atlantic into the same grid with very minimal transmission losses.

And yet the Irish were persecuted, savaged, slaughtered, enslaved, and treated as badly or worse than almost any other ethnic group in the US, and even today there is still quite a lot of racism against them, despite which they and their descendants appear to be prospering just fine as a community and as individuals without any affirmative action.

Perhaps the secret is to allow people their own agency and stop infantilising them by telling them they start out handicapped, which might be why Michigan banned affirmative action in Universities.

Which is ironic given that almost 60% of HR staff are women, apparently. Maybe HR companies should start hiring more men to bring a male perspective and lived experience to these roles?
