There are three professions where being untruthful is the key to success: Lawyers, salespeople, and marketing. All three are hired to portray their client in the most favorable light possible, and the very best ones lie through their teeth. The worst of these three are the marketers because they have legions of psychologists and scientists trying to figure out the best way to lie to people.

There is a perception among open source advocates that if open source software saves you money, you now owe some of that money to them. If you don't pay, you get called a freeloader. This agrees with the "from each according to his abilities" part of Marx's famous saying.

Oh, gimme a freakin' break. Appendectomy, really? Polio victims are crippled and won't pass the qualifying rounds. Or did you just come up with ridiculous examples for some unclear end?

When there's money in it, people will cheat. That's what causes all the drug problems.

Just like car racing, we need different divisions for athletics. One for stock, unmodified humans like us. No drugs, etc. And the "top fuel" division for prosthetics, hormones, steroids, etc. My interest in several sports (bicycling, weightlifting) has already died because of rampant drug abuse. Heck, if you don't do drugs then you won't even qualify for televised events. It's sort of like F1 racing, it's not really a competition between humans, it's a competition between scientists.

Ever since the Olympics went professional, it's been boring. Of course, once these two divisions have been established, the athletes will still cheat in the stock division. Because there's money involved. Even the Korean Starcraft players cheat for the same reason.

People who run adblock aren't going to click on the ads anyway. I'm sure it makes them better to get all self-righteous about it, though.

Run defrag. Done. Even idiots knew to do this back in the XP days. Still doesn't answer the question.

The article says, "phones feel slower over time as they hold more software". How does this follow? How does the phone get "slower" just because more software is installed? This sounds an awful lot like the cargo cult thinking of "well the hard drive is full so we have to buy a new computer because this one is slow."

I know some software will start agents on boot, but they just sit in the background and do little. top reveals very little CPU time and memory consumed by these.

Funny how this only applies to far-left organizations and not to mainstream conservatives. Hypocrisy.

Poetry isn't for left-brained types. It is the province of free-thinkers, of artists, it's not really intended for anyone else. The low number of comments on this article is evidence enough nobody cares.

"Poetry is nobody's business except the poet's," wrote Philip Larkin, "and everybody else can fuck off."

It's outdated. Newer is better, with the surgery you don't need glasses any more. You wouldn't understand, old fogey. The only reason to wear glasses is uncorrectable vision or fashion, in which case the glasses are worn without lenses. Only oldies don't update to the newest styles.

Seeing as the Communist Party was dedicated to the overthrow of the U.S. Government...what would you do?

It's not a witch-hunt if there really were Communists in the State Department. Hint: there were.

PLEASE NOW ADMIT THAT AMERICA IS A FASCIST POLICE STATE

You racist fucktards will do anything to shit on Obama, won't you? He can't do anything right, and you'll find any excuse to oppose him. Fascist police state, yeah right. You just have these fantasies of revolution and restoring the white race to its rightful place at the top of society. FUCK YOU. Fuck the horse you rode in on. Fuck your ridiculous "fascist police state" bullshit. Racist asshole. Why hasn't your post been deleted by moderators?

Yes, but what CAUSED this to happen? East Germany was a model socialist state, "scarcity threatening day to day living" is a capitalist problem. Let's dig a bit deeper, shall we? We might not like what we find, though.

Really? Let's consult Hamas' founding document and see what it says. Remember, this is where Hamas writes out why it exists in the first place. I encourage you to read the whole thing, but it's kind of a slog so I've taken a few good parts out:

Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.

Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims.

Leaving the circle of conflict with Israel is a major act of treason and it will bring curse on its perpetrators.

The Slogan of the Hamas
Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Qur'an its Constitution, Jihad its path and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief.

So, we can see that Hamas is just following what it was organized to do. It's not difficult to understand.
