Absolute earnings are irrelevant at this point in history. It's the relative wealth holdings and the ability to translate that wealth into political power that really divides the classes. The whole system no longer has to enforce a gap between the rich and poor, it is now so well honed that it can perpetuate a gap between the empowered and the disempowered without requiring a wealth gap any more.

False flag operations are pretty easy against anonymous, because, well, anyone can do something and claim to be them. The media can claim they're in bed with Al-Qaeda and nobody would even be able to be interviewed to confirm or deny.

Holy crap dude, I've seen people interpret data according to their own pre-determined conclusion, but you sir take the cake.

That's an awful big assumption right there buddy. Not making any indication that you're wrong, but when appeals to authority by those who can't articulate the issue effectively themselves start coming out is usually when I withdraw from a discussion, because that's usually when it turns idiotic.

I was commenting on your *argument*, not the specific issue that caused it to occur.

Could it be that filing patent applications relating to printers by a company that used to make printers could be a hint, that maybe, just maybe, they intend to start making printers again?

Bullshit. The beauty (and the purpose) of language is its provision of a common syntax that everybody understands so that when you express something, everybody to whom you may be speaking can interpret your message. "Language evolves" and other related arguments are code for "I didn't pay attention in grade school, and am too dumb to learn spelling and grammar now." If language "evolved" the way most partly-literate kids these days claim, then within a decade nobody will be able to read anything written up until now.

Face it. Not being able to spell cannot be hand waved away by saying "language evolves".

Oh, and keep that reference to "litigatory" to yourself. I saw you spell "adhere" as "ad-hear" earlier.

How in the name of Obama's butthole do you manage to put a cloud service between your PC and the printer which is DIRECTLY ATTACHED to it via a USB cable which shouldn't even need to be connected to a network at all?

It's because everyone has been convinced that the nations that don't buy into the new system are "rogue states" and need to be put down, and that people who advocate or even fight for a different system are "terrorists" or at least terrorist sympathizers. If a government wants to control the power of the corporate sector it gets labeled socialist. If it does not want to have a McDs on or Starbucks on every corner siphoning off the wealth of the people by repatriating profits it is a dictatorship. If it does not want to trade in USD for its natural resources then it needs to be targeted for regime change. Just a few black ops can spark a some political instabilities and the nation will be labeled "rogue" or "failed" and economically isolated and destroyed, perhaps even militarily. In poor nations like this its quite easy for a few machine guns given to the right people can start a civil war. Look at what the CIA did in Chile in 1979 when Salvador Allende refused to allow the country to be raped by the US plutocracy. Anyone who thinks that does not happen any more is lying to themselves.

Your referrer solution: This solution would overload web servers quickly, as every object request would require a log file parsing. It would also suffer from the problem that the image may be loaded from a different server than the HTML file. Thus, your solution is fraught with difficulty in both efficiency of hardware use as well as implementation. Also, its stupid.

Your user-agent solution: So you're saying that my smart phone, which is on a slower network connection, with a lower usage quota should receive both the mobile page AND the multimedia heavy regular page, and then choose which to render? That's massively inefficient and will clog low-power, bandwidth restricted devices. Also, it's stupid.

Dude! Run for president!

Victor Basta: Who's on first?! Oh wait, wrong skit.

Dumb shit burg no less! OMG I can have hours of fun with this cocktard's name!

I read the summary. I read the article. I'm familiar with the issue. I'm not usually immature. I tried and tried to take this article seriously. I don't usually thread hijack to say something dumb. I tried and tried to come up with a sensible post.

However, all I can see here is that this guy has "shit burg" in his name.

That is all.

It has only entered the "Global Jihad Narrative" because that narrative is being written by and for the benefit of western governments and told by their buddies who run western media outlets. Al-Qaeda sends people to help out in Chechnya? Dude, seriously. Pretty soon you'll be claiming Al-Qaeda is sending guys to secretly sabotage the World Series when your team loses.
