Write your Congress and Senate and if they can't effect a legislative change then FIRE THEIR ASSES!
Its time we were represented by our electorate and not the K street corporate lobby. Remember, voters must be US citizens but shareholders are from anywhere. Isn't it time we take our government back from Wall Street pimps of the bottom line? VOTE!!
All my member data carried over to D2. But that is where it ended, the content was like a day on the wayback machine and the site was otherwise useless. Nevertheless, it will be great if Demonoid is truly back in its original, and/or 2nd and/or 3rd iterations. The D2 site sucks.
Unless you were at Waco, you don't know what happened at Waco.
You mean what happens in Waco stays in Waco?
He'll virtually be sentenced to bit-jail.
Well stated. Thanks for the well written insight.
When one's business practices consist of poor user experience, poor customer support, and poor product delivery one's business deserves to die. This isn't a result of a shit market, it's the result of shit products.
Amen.
Especially when, they devote all of their talent and technology to enslaving the product and the customer.
We are confined to rigid asinine monitization or usage schemes, proprietary incompatibilities, non portability, drm, and data mining.
Another perfectly good aspect of human culture captured by a desperate greedy corporate pigfest.
I just use folders and store everything by
Yep. Me too. Just like my data files, docs, photos, film, and legacy analog collection: WYSIWYG
No wonder facebook sucks.
...however Ronald McDonald has shown that a happy meal with a TOY works best.
Unless the toy its stupid and boring CODE.
...it must be their nuclear program.
I guess you can't always save by eliminating humans and their expensive unions. Although, I'm sure the software was intended to pick up the financial slack for all of those expensive peeps. Don't worry, Wall Street is highly motivated to eliminate the humans with the software, eventually...
Not a bad idea really. A radical approach that definitely eliminates the perverse incentives, and gives a miniscule amount of carrot juice to everybody. Talk about taking a bite out of crime... The thing is, with the computer power we have, its not technically impossible to pull it off anymore. Too bad our social and political reality is heading more towards The Lord of the Flies.
Good question. One thing for sure, they are totally full of shit and they will not be straight forward about their intentions. At the very least, nobody trusts what they say as being any more than politically astute spin. Its business as usual for those who keep their jobs in demand while on the government tit. I remember when those were the shit jobs. Not any more.
After all that's all they are really after. They take your saliva and blood because you're driving a care which means that you have something of value that they can take from you, and that's all they really want. Why catch criminals that only possess stolen property? You can't pay for law enforcement with contraband. But you can pay for all of this stuff by impounding cars and busting people who can afford to drive one. The efforts of law enforcement are skewed towards the crime that gives THEM the most reward, not what gives the citizens the most value. Last night my buddies car got broken into by a pro - no broken glass. It was in his driveway, and all of his tools were stolen. The police couldn't care less and have no intention of doing ANYTHING about it. They just resent you wasting their time on something that gets them ZERO. At least drug dealers have cash to confiscate, but a thief costs the system even more than it costs the victims. And the police cost everyone a whole hell of a lot more than that. But don't expect them to do anything particularly helpful. That serve and protect crap went away when municipal coffers ran dry...
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
