That sounds like an awful way of thinking.

"The bill was defeated once, what makes you think it wouldn't be defeated again?"

Because each time those in opposition much launch a larger more costly campaign and take time out of their normal productive jobs.

Proposing bullshit legislation does not cost the Congressmen/women anything extra, and at times can actually be profitable for them.

They can just bring it up next week and we all have to drop everything again and try to defeat it. Eventually people get fatigued or decide the continued fight is no longer worth it.

The state consists of two parts, the corporation and the government. The government are not some dumb fools who are just "get used" by some old shadowy men in some corporate office. Its a symbiotic relationship.

>A more innovative approach, I think, would be for the government to buy out leading textbooks at a premium and after holding an auction to determine the fair price.

Yep, subsidies never go wrong.

Its not quite that clear:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph#United_States

But, last I checked, polygraphs were required for certain government positions in the U.S, but am having a problem finding a citation for that right now.

Forever since the U.S. still uses fucking polygraphs in some cases.

I think I'd like to be a "TaskRabbit" just to pick up some extra cash occasionally, not just because of unemployment.

>lots of potential-employees-turned-founders

If there is trouble finding people to hire because they are all out starting their own companies that means one or two things:

1) There is an over supply of management. Developers/engineers are able to manage themselves effectively enough that they do not need to spend their time enriching someone else.

2) Engineers are turning to their own business plans because that is the only way to get adequately compensated.

I think #2 is more likely. I believe we are seeing the start of a shift towards engineers making as much or more than the management/CEO types. Engineering bargaining power is on the rise and will only continue to get stronger.

Neutrality and pacifism are not the same thing.

The only reason they weren't caught was because of the lack of back scatter vans, right?

Still seems sort of shitty.

No, not really. The establishment embraced Ghandi to take the wind out of the more radical violent movements.

The same way the NAACP was embraced over the Black Panther Party.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_movement_for_Ind...

Don't much like those either. They use arrests as a way to harass innocent people, hence the phrase, "You can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride."

78 dollar laptop running Windows 7?

Hmm...

The government should not be able to take things without a trial in a court of law.

Man, that pisses me off when they rip apart your car and then leave all your shit just sitting outside. They threw my laptop on the ground once, almost broke it, cracked the hinge.

I had nothing on me, I don't do anything. But they ripped the shit out of my car. Had the drug dog crawl all over my god damn seats with its muddy paws.

fuck those guys.

Maybe I am missing something but lots of these ideas seem pretty poor?

Like how they ignored everyone on bail outs, and the people against SOPA, etc etc etc. How they taunt us with those stupid online petitions. How the police are beating people.

Yeah. Doing something works.

That was his point. Read the rest of his comment.

I like Flash on Hulu and Youtube. I also am a fan of many flash games.

It has its uses.

Business has been quite controversial in many European countries.

It would stop a significant amount of the violence as explained by the fucking article.

It is impossible to police drugs. Drugs even get into US max security prisons. The most fucking locked down place on Earth. If you can't eradicate it there how do you plan on eradicating it outside?

No, those assets will be freed up to go to more productive ventures.

You should look into the history of the post office. It didn't revolutionize much. There have been competing businesses throughout history and a few of them were shut down by the government after out competing USPS.

"Because most undergrad education around databases is poor and antiquated. Plus, it is not SQL focused - much time is spent on talking about data modeling. Not wrong, but not often helpful in practice."

I am taking a database management class this semester. Its awful. We spent over half the semester drawing diagrams. Just last week we started working with actual SQL.

...On Distro Watch.

Yeah, but can you name a huge company that is better than them?

What nutritional guide lines are they following though? FDA recommended?

This will get ignored like the "Remove "under God" from the pledge" petition and the "tax Marijuana like alcohol and tobacco" petition.

Have you ever been to El Paso? Its miserable.
