Yeah, we're capitalists here--where we take your money away and then eloquently explain how you didn't deserve it in the first place because you're poor.
So much better than just taking your money just because (fascism) or taking your money while telling you it's for the greater good (communism). At least with the last, there's a philosophical argument involved rather than just "I want yours."
I was under the impression that if Byzantium couldn't stand up to an invader, probably nobody else who was around at the time would have been able to do much better...

When I hear you guys across the pond say stuff like this, I wonder whether your politicians are crazier or if you're just more eloquent in saying "I hate those other guys."
I guess we can just fire everybody at NASA and stop teaching astronomy in schools, then. Because itzly says there's nothing out there.

Apart from the 'cool' factor, there's no actual benefit from having people in a space base, or to send humans to the rest of the solar system

He doesn't need to be innocent for it to be a convenient situation for those who want to extradite him.
He can be both guilty of rape, and not deserving of what they'll do to him when they finally get him into the U.S.
The power of choice whether to accept systemd into our hearts, or to stop using Linux entirely.
Maybe it's not at that point yet, but it sounds like they're trying their darnedest to get there.
Firefox is actually getting good enough that I no longer care which browser I'm using
I think "us sycophants'" argument is that it has been this way for quite awhile now, and we're in fact passing the peak of the parabola.
Irreverent or irrelevant? Methinks the latter.
In a few more releases, it won't matter anymore because Firefox will *be* Chrome anyway.
Since basically their entire reason for existence is "we're like Google but not evil," yeah.
Or I suppose you could use some other search engine but that's just a rounding error.
Speaking of weird popups, I still don't understand why the hell that IE one exists.
I see you've got add-ons installed! Do you want to disable those?
_ Yes
_ No but keep annoying me about it every time I open the browser
_ Ha ha I bet you expected a "never ask me again" option here
So just move down the list. Jeez.
