...the creation of child porn victimizes actual children

Even fiction and drawings?

You choose to put us on the corporate nipple (actually something much worse!), maybe because of personal aspirations, but that is irrelevant. All the gripes you post here are simple mimicry of propaganda you choose to believe. It is peer pressure? Who knows? But, like d_r, you choose to believe lies. YOUR tax dollars aren't needed. We only have to put our money back in circulation, instead of engorging corporate wiener. You got the wrong guy. You are being so used. Doesn't matter as long as you're all comfy, right? And in truly classic form you deny it all. You are such a perfect piece of the machine.

The man is sane.

The only alternative then is evil! I shall choose to believe he's just under a bad influence, similar to what is happening to you, so I shall not judge.

His voting record, which contains all the substance I need, confirms everything I have said about him. Another simple fact you choose to deny over and over. Your appeal to authority (cozying up with the alpha) is the attempt to use his glorious past to justify what he does in the present. Deny all you wish, but there it is, in plain sight, so obviously you don't see it! He is a puppet, and you seem to be his. I'll just mark it up as another one of your latent Reagan worship things. Cling tight! *Don't let go!*

Imagine the armies the Fortune 500 will put into the field, and the mischief they could create.

Well, if we can get them to shoot at each other, I don't see a problem.

Perhaps millions of compromised systems will be recovered.

And update servers will be compromised...

Almost a quarter of California smog is imported from China. I wouldn't mind seeing some lawsuits in the world court over it. But then when Canada sues the US over acid rain, it's all, "world court? pffft!"

What you picked up in economic class is for wannabe aristocrats.

Caustic? No, just trying to cut to the chase, for the lot of good it does. I'm not interested in running your little endless circles for the millionth time.

You know those old stock market ads, don't use past performance as an indication of the future. I don't care about his academics. They are no indication of the person, except he can get good grades, and once again it is just another one of your fantasies with some whack thing about them being fake? You are just so goofy! Is it supposed to divert attention from what he is doing now? Seems to be your intention. Sorry, babe, go play that somewhere else. Look It's all very simple. His voting record is garbage sellout throughout (I'm sure you disagree) and it shows he wants war* (He even repeated the "quick and easy" meme, like with Iraq). You obviously do too. Your panties are just in a twist because we aren't bombing. That is what this is all about. This perceived impotence that you picked up from the TV has you in a total rage, which is all pent up in this denial you assert. You soooo want to blow up something!

*Man! I just got done looking at his voting record (Unlike you, I find that much more important whatever his long past academic record might be). Very very bad... Damn right he is most definitely a damn clown! One of the worst tea party wackos out there! Prohibitionist, war monger, big oil puppet (there's part of the money angle right there), the works.. Or best, if you're seeking entertainment. It would figure you stand behind him, like with Bush, Reagan and the rest of your corrupt little Iran/Contra dealers (yeah, your Ollie North is a real hero too, right?), further confirming your 'evolution' is as phony as a three dollar bill, nothing but a troll.

I know you need someone to put on your pedestal there because Hillary is taken, but this guy? Oof! Please, don't tell me you really can't do better! Use your brain. boy! And shed the antipathy!

Program crashing at startup? Okay, let's add debugging statements.

Can't get the debugging statements to execute? Okay, let's try removing code.

Doesn't fix the problem? Okay, let's keep removing more... and more...

A couple hours later, so much code was removed that the entire program had become nothing more than an empty main function that still crashed. This led to the following rule which I try to follow to this day: Make sure that you're actually compiling and executing the same copy of the code that you're modifying. ;)

Or how to correctly answer your wife/girlfriend when she asks, "Do these jeans make me look fat?"

But if, and only if they can contain their effluence inside their own borders, I say, Let them choke themselves! But since smog doesn't respect state borders neither should the feds. Squabbling little fiefdoms (the states) cannot handle national issues and should butt out, and clean up, or the feds will do it for them!

They must obey the constitution... In theory, of course!

In California, we're never going to pay off the debt...

Say whaaa?..

And furthermore, a 'debt' is not something you pay off. It is a valuable commodity to trade on the open market and reap great profits in brokers commisions.

So if the AGW people are right (and they might be, I wouldn't discount smart people so easily), then we need to start adapting to the change that is coming regardless of what we do.

Eh, no biggie. In New York, Miami, and L.A., heh, and New Orleans, everybody can just move up one floor, get some gondolas, learn to sing in Italian... Jet Skis should become real popular

It is so secure that a machine that hasn't been invented cannot break the code! However, with an abacus, all bets are off.
