The government has a duty of responsibility to ensure the public is informed of any actions the government takes that will have a substantive impact upon how the public will vote at the next election. This is especially true in party politics. So a law suit against the currently in power political party, that failed to inform the public of actions that political party took when in power that would impact the vote of the public is quite reasonable and would be targeted at the income of those politicians directly and indirectly derived from the elected position. You have to remember those politicians did purposefully conspire to keep information from the public when they knew the public would disagree with those actions and seek redress at the next election. This does infringe electoral laws, where a political party is banned from pilfering government funds for electioneering purposes, this really does include keeping secrets as part of that political party marketing exercise. So no matter the nature of the secret, if it will have a material impact upon the next election, the political party in power is required to release that information, rather than spending government funds to keep the public uninformed, so that the public will still vote for them in that next election. This would also tie into the government failing to prosecute criminal actions by the government, which can also be tied to political parties seeking to gain and keep power and be subject to similar class action redress.

Others of course dislike you immensely. Specifically those who profit by the marketing and sales of all those products associated with mutual non-reproductive masturbation using various parts of the body and of course based around the qualities of your clothing, your car, the jewellery you provide, the quality of the restaurant, the quality of the hotel ie how much you are basically willing to spend on mutual non reproductive masturbation, so that you can brag about your success rate.

If any government were actually serious about a safe internet for children they would create a parallel encrypted one which interconnects schools, from which unlicensed adults are excluded and that is supervised. Of course that is not what they want because of course very unhealthy commercial manipulative marketing targeted at children would have to be banned. What they really want to do is 'accidentally' ban political activist sites, news sites that tell the truth, labour sites and basically any site that challenges the power of major corporations.

What you are seeing is second set action directors taking over and the effort spent on story is the bare minimum required to attempt to tie the action scenes together and generally it fails pretty badly. Greatest comparison of before and now, they killed one Vulcan in the wrath of Kahn and the viewing public went nuts, they destroyed the whole planet Vulcan in 'Star Trek' and the viewing public did not give a crap. The most memorable thing was a suspended cadet becoming the captain of the fleet flagship of the federation of planets because from the gut thinking is better than an experienced lieutenant commander who is an instructor at the academy the cadet was kicked out of, something straight out of Saturday morning cartoons. You can tell how well the movie did not by the temporary initial release tied to marketing and what else is available to watch at that time but by how many TV series it launches, including animation. So no successful reboot that was all just B$ marketing, a complete failure and now each time another star trek movie is made people care less and less about it.

So what did they actually pull the plug on, releasing the movie or a marketing campaign that came off rather badly and they are too scared to admit.

Voice mail correction. Do not bother with the phone number, most voice mail services allow call back. A spoken phone number on voice mail is a real pain, requiring repeating of the message. So greeting and message only. I will eventually press keypad 6 once I remember to pick up my phone from the other end of the house.

More accurately those at the top whose power is tied to the US dollar continue to manipulate global capitalism in favour of their choice through global media and government propaganda. Capital is imaginary it's only real value it tied to countries primary resources and how it's currency equates with the value of those primary resources. The US with it currency is largely parasitical falsely tied to many other countries resources which the US forced through with economic and military warfare. The attack on the rouble is already failing which is exactly why corporate media is now hyping up potential collapse, it is simply not real.

You have a group of multi-national corporations who are orchestrating the attack via their puppet the US government. Problem is they are loyal to no one and most certainly not each other. Basically when the opportunity comes to profit by betting the other way, the rouble over the dollar they will break ranks because the know the Russian rouble is backed by primary resources and the US dollar is only backed by propaganda.

Circular reasoning, paying of debt generated by creating more imaginary US dollars where they debt was created by creating imaginary US dollars makes no sense at all outside the sleazy world of the US Federal Reserve. Pointing to the US being the last military superpower as defining the value of it's currency, is a really, really, bad thing. You might as well say, I have a gun and it is pointed at your head, this piece of printed paper can buy your resources because if you do not agree I will kill you and take those resources anyhow. That same gun pointed at your head also applies to paying off debt with more funny money, accept it or die. US exceptionalism always blind to it's own evil actions. A global anti-US coalition is growing and it is as a direct result of US exceptionlism being paraded across the internet and some of the truly awful things some idiotic US politicians say in public that the rest of the world can hear. That 'BRICs' association http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B... is going to generate an huge amount of money out of the failing attack on the Russian rouble, it is not like it wasn't expected.

So in the case of Uber, government subsidised electric taxis or mini buses make sense in order to get more private drivers off the road and to make that form of public transport more accessible at regular expected prices. So take taxis licence bought in bulk and limit them to one per customer, so as to block profiteering from bulk purchases at inflated price to keep the little person out and to force them to work for far reduced wages, an interesting idea and one I support whole heartedly.

That fire brigade idea is a historical fact, it occurred in Roman times. In fact that fire brigade was suspected of starting some of the fires. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H... Now don't you feel foolish ;D.

I hope one day you find yourself hanging from a cliff and just before the person reaches down to help you they say, agree to hand over all your assets or I will divert my resources to else where and assure you, that you can always wait for a more competitive offer. Perhaps a fire brigade that agrees to buy your house for 50% of it's value or they will not put out the fire. Price gouging practices inevitably leads to people creating disasters in order to exploit them. Creating monopolies are the same idea. So no, your ideas suck and they are grossly anti-social and have no place in a modern society.

Actually it is normally called price gouging or profiteering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... and is normally considered illegal in most modern democracies, which is the reason why it likely will not be patentable, although based upon past behaviour by the USPTO it will likely pass as long as the device it happens on, has rounded corners. This style of continuous price adjustment targeted against individuals is likely to result in some new regulations, especially with regard to disclosure or deceit with regard how the price is established. You can charge people less than the regular price however you will run into real problems with regard to prejudice, racism et al when you attempt to charge more than the regular price.

Except the people stuck on the surface are likely to take offence and bury those rich and greedy types as well as politicians and leave them there. Likely best action apart from trying to deflect the asteroid, give everyone a free supply of happy pills to last until the impact, lots and lots of happy pills. It wont help with the impact but most certainly will mitigate the harm caused by people acting out against other people. In fact inserting the happy drugs right into the food and water supply would make sense.

In a more serious vein, establishment of distributed localised support system that well seek and readily accept volunteers, so individuals can focus on supporting their local community rather than dwelling upon their own circumstance. Establishing that mutual support network well before hand, one that includes the whole community, would make sense.

The hypocritical delusional that all members of a libertarian society can be free to do what ever they want to do when ever they want to do it without impacting everyone else trying to do the same thing at the same time and that economic freedom (the right to exploit anyone and everyone) has anything to do with social freedom (the right not to be exploited) or that ownership of the majority of the environment by a minority somehow does not impinge upon personal freedom of the majority or how libertarians don't show any shame when they abuse the word liberty when they talk about wanting to use their capital to deny others their liberty or how libertarians always hate government services except when they use them, then they are great. Seriously, it really is a teenage political philosophy with all that it implies and has no basis in reality with regard to a social species, we must share pretty much everything it is our normal mature genetic nature and the means by which we prosper as a species.

You guys are just plain nuts. Here's how it it meant to work. Excuse sir/madam you are not allowed to carry that item onto the aircraft, allow me to check it in for you. Either arrest them for an illegal item or if it is not illegal check it in for them. Why the bloody hell do you just allow them to steal your legal stuff, the items that you are not allowed to carry on should just be checked in. The crap cowardly people are willing to put up with is just amazing.

They will never need an external attack to sink their fantasy floating island, they will inevitably do it to themselves. They all want the freedom to do, what ever they want to do, when ever they want to do it and of course no group of people ever can do that at the same time. So they want their forever teenage libertarian floating island as long as they are the ones in charge. We already have that it's called Freewind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... (never been a more doublespeak title for a ship ever) and the only people free are the fakers at the top ruthlessly taking all the freedoms away from the ones down the bottom. Should they ever be able to build that crazy vessel it will inevitably devolve to an organised crime haven.

Regardless the of the psychopathic nature of North Korea's government and the pathetic egoistic nature of it's leadership and the quisling nature of it's many middle persons who keep that leadership in power, the only acceptable response is cutting the cable. Unhappy with the contribution to the global internet, cut them off. Seriously, fuck off with the escalation, it will just make the whole situation worse.
