Mind you - I am Polish and here also people HATE to pay taxes - they know that their taxes are being spent in wrong ways usually, the taxes fuel a caste of mindless clerks etc. but nevertheless Polish people DO PAY taxes like VAT and icome.
So you're proud to be paying taxes spent in the wrong way? Congratulations on being part of the problem.
Why the fuck is a submission as nonsensical and dumb as this one even on Slashdot?
Why do your parents let you use the internets without supervision?
Never negotiate with Debt Terrorists!
Fully agreed! Bomb the IMF! Even their name sounds like a terrist organization. International Monetary Front
Should each state in the US have its own currency?
If you live in California, Texas, or Alaska, you probably would say yes. We lose money to the federal government every year, to pay for things in other states that we (at least in California) can't even afford. If you live in some other state, you would probably say no.
just to pick one category, a military without any hardware isn't much of a military. But the concept that Greece can't pay back its loans is a lie.)
Greece can't pay back its loans and basically remain Greece. You never give an order which you know will not be followed. And you should know ahead of time whether your orders will or will not be followed.
(Note: the Troika isn't faultless either. In exchange for loans, rather than focusing on trying to improve the raw numbers with austerity, they should have been focused 100% on trying to force you to fix your structural problems so you can be competitive enough to stay in Europe. They tried to tackle the root problem in a totally counterproductive way and ended up earning a lot of hate for that.
Notably, austerity tends to shut down the economy, which will only lead to further financial insolvency.
Well said. Greece owe about 300 billion euros to other european countries that put together the plan to help them,
Almost, if you just s/help/screw/
It gives me a genuine thrill of pride that you would think so... Really.
That's what I was trying to find out, more than whether you had been in. You confirmed my suspicions in every way. Thanks, I guess. Sorry about your life.
Just ask the Kardashians...
OK, but you'll have to give me directions to the Shire.
if apple doesn't care about macs anymore how come it just released a brand new macbook this year and a brand new mac pro just 2 years ago?
Think about what you're saying.
On one hand, mentioning that seems arrogant.
When he mentioned it the first time in this discussion, that was arrogant. When he mentioned it the second time is when it became a matter of honor to ridicule him.
On one hand, mentioning that seems arrogant. On the other hand, the most prestigious piece of software in which my name might appear is a drupal module.
I don't want to brag, but Emacs is named after me.
So where does your name appear - apart from the funny pages?
It's tattooed to your mom's ass.
Meanwhile, Snap-On, Mac and Matco break less often to begin with. When they do break, the local distributor shows up the same day in their truck with a replacement and you still get the customer out the door by close of business.
All of this, and maybe Apple support too, works really well when you live in the city, near one of their facilities. When you live anywhere else, it all goes to hell. The delivery trucks don't go to most of the shops, so you get stuff from whichever truck actually shows up. And when you need a machine serviced, they expect you to either bring it in, wait, or ship it and wait. It's not just Apple, I don't mean to pick on them alone; my fun stories involve HP... but only because I didn't buy Apple, or Sony, etc etc. (The Sony machines ordered alongside my HP which finally died of nVidia GPU die bonding failure plus HP tech with bad habits died long before my HP did.)
I think it would be wicked cool to build an electric rock crawler. It seems like a natural fit because you get an exquisite level of control over wheel slip, and you also get massive torque from 0. It would be a sort of ultimate stress test for the components, but that could only lead to building better speed controllers... or going broke
Yes, it's called a chastity belt. Old tech.
Maybe they should deploy some of those. It might help with suicide rates being higher than casualty rates.
