I've been building open-source classes for Forms, Datasheets, and Reports for many years now. Check out my stuff on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~dkasak... I primarily use Gtk+ and Perl. The libraries on CPAN use Gtk2, but I've got Gtk3 ports ready to release now. The amazing advantage to moving to Gtk3 for me is the 'broadway' HTML5 backend. Email me @ d.j.kasak.dk@gmail.com and I'd be happy to work with you on this.

They need to quit launching things into space and concentrate on cleaning up their nuclear waste which is leaking into my ocean.

- We live in a 4-dimensional universe, NOT a 3-dimensional one. Perhaps someone is forgetting time??? - A hypersphere is a 4-dimensional sphere, not a 3-dimensional one. Also the idea that 'space is expanding' is absurd ( and this study perpetuates this idea by claiming they've discovered an explanation for it ). Space is not absolute; it's relative. To say that space is 'expanding' in this context means nothing. The RELATIVE distances of objects to each other may be changing. This is not the same thing as space expanding. Is there something *beyond* the furthest reach of space, that space is now approaching? It's a ridiculous thing to say.

Why the hell would anyone buy organic produce from China? People who choose organic are also usually choosing local produce, for similar reasons ( environmental impact ). Certainly I only buy local ( when I can't source the food from my own organic garden ).

What a stupid statement! Do you know what 'organic' is supposed to mean? If you have found ( God knows how you verified it ) some organic produce that had pesticide residue, you should report it and have the organic certification stripped.

The OP was asking about 'confiscating' *excess* wealth. No-one wants to take your Hummer ( well OK ... I think these these should be banned too ... but that's another dicsussion ).

It's a good question, and unfortunately for you, the answer that is in the US, there is a very strong culture of competition, accompanied with a disdain for helping others. Think 'reds under the bed'. Also note the stupid wank who posted 'fucking communist'. People like that are EVERYWHERE in the US - the whole social structure is decaying. Many people still buy the whole 'if we just remove all restrains on corporations and taxes, everything will be roses and lollypops'. It will take some very severe shocks to shake people out of this mentality ... and frankly ... very severe shocks is precisely what the US deserves. Let's see round 2 of the internetional financial market collapse ...

I agree with a lot of what you're saying ... however ... his service wasn't *necessarily* for illegal copying. Sure, that's what it was mostly used for. But it's a pretty slippery slope when you expect service providers to actively prevent copyright infringement.

Usually trolls are funny, witty, and somewhat related to reality. Usually.

Irrational fears? Are you an idiot, or a paid social media spammer?

Exactly. What astute capitalist would waste their money on a proper cleanup when there is no more profiting to be had? Better to hire accountants to hide the money, preferably transferring the assets and risk and clean-up responsibility to some shelf company with $1 in the bank. If the US government has a problem with the radioactive waste sitting around, they can always make radiation-laden ammunitions and dump it on the next civilian population standing in the way of the empire.

Actually the Japanese were trying desperately to negotiate a surrender even before the FIRST use of WMD against them. The idea that WMD somehow prevented deaths or suffering is total bullshit. It was a matter of the US asserting itself as the dominant military power, and Japan was a soft enough target to cop 2 WMD attacks. Interesting how the victors frame their attrocities.

Understanding what's killing us early is quite a different thing from DOING something about it. I can tell you what's killing us early right now. Diet. Toxic chemicals - in particular inorganic ones. Lack of exercise. Quick Summary: Western society. Now that we know what's killing us early, what do we do to fix it?

What are you progressing towards then? Absolute depletion of your resources and destruction of the environment? You may call that progress, but only because you're not capable of critical analysis of what Fox News and friends tell you.

Maybe you should be thinking creatively? Maybe you should REDUCE your energy 'needs'? Maybe you should replace your energy generation with safe technology? I've seen how you Yanks build cars. Jesus Christ! Now you're going to start building nuclear ( sorry ... new-clear ) reactors again? And, using a Westinghouse design. OMFG! By the way ... where's your million-year 100% safe waste dump this time? Not still that active volcano Dubya was pushing for?
