Should we skip this crap and just jump to the part of the argument where we creatively insult each other for sport?

Friedmanism. Blame the Chicago school of economics for this.

Also, see my journal entry http://slashdot.org/~Profane+MuthaFucka/journal/219175

"In other words, you found that your view of the world, your ideology, was not right; it was not working." "Absolutely, precisely," Greenspan said.

The world view that Greenspan was talking about was Friedmanism. Milton Friedman. He's fucked up more things than any single human in the past 30 years.

Thus you prove that you are an idiot. Obama is one person. Democrats is millions of people. One cannot equal the other.

I love the invisible fist, especially when it's furiously jerking me off.

Monopolies are not bad all the time, and to say so is really missing an important point - context.

Monopolies in government are a good thing, for example. When you have two governments competing, it's called a civil war. For much the same reason, I'd really like just one integrated chain of command in my armed forces thank you very much.

Now in markets, when the GOAL of the market is to provide economic growth and opportunity, then monopolies are bad because they work directly against maximizing the inclusion of people into the markets.

If your goal in your market is to just allow a few people to get rich, then monopolies are what you want.

But don't just pretend that anybody said that monopolies are always bad and try to make a point based on a strawman argument.

So, you're saying that Bush and the people working for him are not Republican? Is that really what you are saying?

You Ron Paul freaks ARE fucking nuts. And I don't mean having sex with a pecan.

He's the sock puppet that Pudge keeps next to his porn computer for "cleanup" purposes.

Is that an illustration for a Kurt Cobain furry slash fan story?

Well, Pudge is a moron then.

No need to think too hard about it. You can tell I'm demented by the way I stand outside windows at apartment complexes masturbating.

I never mentioned Clinton. That was brought up by others, including you, in an effort to dilute what I said.

Clinton is not bothering the subject of the article, the whistleblower. Republicans are doing that.

Yes, and my cock is 3 inches long too. But that, like you, and your comment, are irrelevant to what I posted.

Oh, and another fact is that you've outed yourself as an illiterate. If you read what I wrote, and stop reading what you wish I wrote, you'll see that my comment is nowhere as broad as you think.

Or, are you going to argue that GW Bush is not in fact a member of the Republican party?

If you're using a file that requires more than 64 bits for the file pointer, you may be happier using a database.

I'm just sayin'

Important note: the "Feds" you mention are the Republicans who were tapping phone lines. Somebody has to say it.

Use more devices. One hard drive can't saturate a USB bus, but a bunch of them can. USB 3.0 will not give us faster disks or faster throughput to an individual disk, but it WILL make hanging a bunch of USB drives off a machine and using ZFS or something like that much more usable.
