I am not saying there's no advantage to space exploration, but I simply wonder why we continue to do these things yet we have a very big [budget] deficit. Why?
Apart from knowledge of how space works, what has the ordinary American gained from the billions spent on the space program? Can anyone point me to any tangible or intangible goods resulting from space exploration?
My own PNRs include not just every mailing address, e-mail, and phone number I've ever used; some of them also contain: The IP address that I used to buy the ticket, my credit card number (in full), the language I used, and notes on my phone calls to airlines, even for something as minor as a seat change.
Someone tell me there's a difference on this issue...Just this issue please.
Let's not forget that activities like these are happening in the West. If on the other hand, they were happening elsewhere, you'd hear hypocritical governments including Australia's, "standing up" for this very "basic right."
I am waiting for The USA's official response...Oh wait...they've done exactly that in the past.
...Anyone agree? Have a look...
Here...
If the USA is the bastion of freedom, capitalism and independence, why are cab licenses limited by city bureaucrats? Why not let everyone who qualifies swim in the taxicab business leaving those who cannot stand the waters perish? I just don't get it!
The Obama administration and that of George W. Bush both resisted such entreaties, in part because many U.S. intelligence officials believe that there are too many areas where German and U.S. security interests diverge."
How about getting rid of that United States base in Germany? A move like this would be in the right direction.
Did I mention that Slashdot should at least try getting world leaders' name spellings correct? Anyone also sees this unfortunate Merkl spelling in the introductory piece>?
One User-agent switcher worked on one site! Thanks a lot but on another one, the message I get is this:
To access this site your Internet Explorer parser must be MSXML 3.0 or greater. Please use Internet Explorer version 6.0 (and higher) or download the correct parser version in order to properly view the web pages located within. Current parser is not MSXML 3.0 or greater.
Thanks!
Look, that OS might be that old but this doesn't solve my problem. I need something to help me "fool" systems that throw messages like this: -
You must be using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or better in order to use Iatric Pay View.
To make matters worse, my computing platform of choice is now Google's Chromebook. I am sure there's a geeky slashdotter who can help, right?
I mean, Wikipedia is editable by anyone.
This makes its content prone to manipulation as some folks may choose to intentionally mask the truth...
Or conflate ideas...
Or confuse facts...
Or obnubilate issues...
Or bedevil matters...
Or stupify knowledge...
Or mix-up the obvious...
Should I go on?
...they'll say something to the effect:
"I don't care, Retina Display is better."
First reactions are generally positive. Theo de Raadt comments, "Choice is good!!."
The name "BoringSSL."
I am finding extreme difficulty in liking this name choice. What was Google thinking? Am I alone?
I understand the sentiment but at the same time, won't be surprised if the judges, like most Americans I've met, believe the USA has the best of everything mankind can think of.
I used to like Samsung and its Android phone products. In fact, I owned the galaxy series S, S2 and S3. I skipped the S4 and really didn't see the point of the S5. These phones in my opinion, were just overpriced! I am now looking at getting the One Plus One.
You must be joking right? Powerful armies can and have been defeated many times. Remember the USA and Vietnam?
On the other hand, I believe Russia has the [military] hardware to deliver serious havoc on the US should America take the unwise route.
What would the USA's most powerful president have done in the circumstances anyway?
I must say I am impressed with how Russia is standing up to the bullies and all those governments who are percieved as the, "we know it all" people.
Always look over your shoulder because everyone is watching and plotting against you.
