no we are not.
I think this was a response to my comment about being the next Greece.
And to respond to that what makes you so sure? That whole stop listening to people is a lame response! I am all for programs don't get me wrong what I am not for is increases in spending on war overseas. Bush picked it up and ran with it! Obama promised to end it but has only increased it. So the only side I take is that of a major shift in foreign policy.
Vote Libertarian and keep doing so until it does matter.
Funny, your story reminds me of the one my Dad tells about being in the Army Corps of Engineers in Vietnam. Guys in his unit created their own Banana clip to add ammo capability to their assault rifles. Upper levels freaked when they saw what they had done, eventually though, their design made it back and became the curved design now used.
BTW I agree with your BTW!
then deserted them leaving a power vacuum that was filled up by the Taliban. . . and provide as much aid as we can . .
You can't be serious . . .
You mean the power vacuum that we helped create by sticking our noses in where they don't belong.
Aid as in $$$ that we (US) don't have? Read about Greece on BBC yet today? The US is next! Keep upping the debt limit so that we can "help others" great idea!
Okay I understand where you are coming from but I also work in Higher Ed and the student body at my college is representative of adult learners (yes we're non-profit). These are working adults that have realized that to get ahead in their field they need a degree.
Broken system or not to get ahead you need a degree. The problem here is that too many geeks think that they are too good for the traditional system (Cnn article inspired by Thiel). Reals geeks have Phd's or are working toward one.
There is a real reason why the Master's degree is the new Bachelor's degree and the Bachelor's degree is now equivalent to the HS degrees of the past.
I agree, however, whenever I used to type notes in class with open office writer, I would never maximize it. Yes you had to scroll more, but you also have more real estate on the edges for other applications running in the background. I could never understand other students full screening their MS Word, especially those that were not ADD.
I agree, I also wonder how the general pebcak's will react to the theme of the movie. Will they understand that the book was ground breaking stuff? Or will they think it's a cheap knock off of the Matrix.
It's been so long since I read Gibson (and I was so young: early high school) that I just added several of his books to my amazon wishlist! I can't wait to re-read them all!
This is truly news for nerds! Happy Friday!
I second ThePhish's comment about Blumenthal. As a resident of CT I have seen the results of his actions and letters to businesses. I was sad to see him go when he won the senate seat.
I would be very surprised if Sony did not take him very seriously. He represents a very large voice (yes read it "the US government") that may soon rally behind his simple letter.
Right, for the simple fact that google must not be evil right?
Come On! I dropped Chrome shortly after noticing the only adware and spyware on my computer was coming in via chrome. coincidence? I think not.
Apple and Google are large corps. End of story. They will gather and sell the hell out of every bit of data they can get about their users, like every good company marketing dept does.
Wrong? Maybe. . . retreats into hole and puts on foil hat.
PLUG IT IN!!!
