Fuck illegal immigrants! It's not like they're real people with very understandable motives for their "lawbreaking."

Well, then who is to decide what laws to break? I sure could use that new Porsche you bought, but I can't afford it, but it would understandably help me in so many ways..so, therefore I should disregard the law and take it.

Yeah, I do kind of say "fuck illegal immigrants"...but I also am quite WELCOMING of legal immigrants.

Here's a great idea: Die in a fire.

You have a problem with people following the laws and rules of the country (US in this example)?

I mean, seriously, they are there for a reason and should be followed until changed legislatively...I was just trying to put it into a slightly more humorous light.

Hey, here's a great idea!!

Let's also structure the lawsuit settlement, to where if you are in the US illegally from Mexico, that you have to go home and file your claim.

And then, if you want to come back, you follow the laws and rules and apply for citizenship. And, you'll have your new working phone to call those left in the US and talk with them and keep in touch.

Perfect solution!!

I saw this quote "

If that doesn't happen, then the Internet may descend into anarchy,

" and thought to myself, where has this guy been?

The internet started out as and has always been anarchy, and that is what made it good. It has been the last bastion of personal freedom and expression since inception. The lack of regulation and rules has made it what it is today.

The internet, was NOT created and constructed for the purpose of business and monetary transactions, that is something that came later and while welcome, was not and SHOULD not be the total focus of the network of networks.

Not to mention...Lenovo fucking up the quality of the product after they get ahold of it.

The old IBM THinkbooks used to be built like a tank, but a Lenovo one today, is so much plastic, I had loose USB ports, etc.

I'm guessing the servers will get the same "cheapening" over process.

A former poster is right...might as well look to get a Dell, and at least not worry about Chinese spyware in addition to the cheaper construction quality.

1) Every agent give the name "John Smith." Duh.

2) You take the supervisor to the basement and put one in his ear. Also duh. God damn are we running an intelligence agency or a kindergarden?

Having access to bug tracking databases has resulted in me deciding not to use a product a couple of times, while it has encouraged me to use a product zero times. Having access to them gives you excellent insight into development priorities and developer attitudes toward customers. You can have a pretty high expectation that developer priorities are not your priorities as a customer. You can also have a pretty high expectation that your developers generally think customers are retarded. Neither of those things is particularly good to display on the Internet.

No one's speaking up about their collection of high-tech sex toys? Bummer. You know, there's a convention for that in Vegas every year. Look it up.

I wonder if my skydiving gear and wingsuit would count. I guess the sky is now my playground and they're the toys I always bring when I play in it.

On the other hand, nothing tastes quite as good as the tears of an engineering group that put several million dollars into R&D for a DRM scheme, just to have it broken by a Swedish teenager three days after their product goes live.

Some people still seem to feel strongly about it and as a pandering politician I shall leave no platform unpandered!

I'm going over the headlines today working on my pandering campaign platform. So far as president I promise to fire the entire forest service, prosecute the phoebus cartel to the fullest extent of the law and demand that my banking regulators not only do their jobs properly but to antagonize the bankers as much as possible (Up to and including stabbing them in the face if they feel it's required.) I predict this will be fairly popular on the internet but end up receiving no campaign contributions. How's that working so far?

I don't mind paying $20 for a light bulb I'll probably never have to replace again. I have some high hanging lights that require a step ladder and some OSHA violations to replace. I'll be happy to slap a LED in there next time they burn out, and probably never have to deal with it again.

The extreme reaction some people have to ANY debt is just as bad as irresponsibly maxing out all available credit in the first place. Running a 10K+ balance on a credit card with a 30% API obviously isn't a great idea, but keeping a credit card around for emergencies and keeping it paid off isn't a bad thing. Neither is taking out a mortgage on a home you can actually afford. A mortgage on a house is one of the few investments that most Americans (the bottom 90%) can actually make work for them. Most of the other ones require you to have a few million dollars sitting around that you can use as leverage.

Learn when and where your money can be used to work for you and live within your means. This is simple advice that is apparently pretty hard to follow. It's also the only one-size-fits-all statement on that subject that I'd be comfortable making.

f you want to say you think the US is going in the wrong direction, fine. But follow that up with REAL solutions. How do you suggest we reduce greenhouse gasses? -Gee-wiz, Mr. Keqiang, can you please stop using those coal-powered factories that we paid you to build? Ya, thats going to go real well.

Honestly, right now I don't give much a fuck about greenhouse gases. I'll worry about that when we're rolling the economy along again.

I think I'd start by dropping corporate taxes to about zero. That would attract businesses back to the US. Of if not to zero, if they were here in the US and for every US citizen (documented) they hired, they'd be able to drive their tax debt to zero, that might be a good start.

...of obama?

Geez, this guy is not going to be happy till the US and its economy is run 101% into the ground and we're on a 2nd or 3rd world level.

WTF would we cut our emissions at the cost of our manufacturing and economy unless China or other offenders do it first? China is running roughshod over us and he's wanting to voluntarily cripple the US more at this critical time?

Obama is not a friend or champion of the US, more and more I'm starting to believe the extremists that said his goal was to dismantle the US as we knew it, and I am starting to fear they are right when I see his actions or lack thereof on important issues.

I can't figure out if it is ignorance, or if it is actual actions due to malicious forethought.
