serious question. he's holding a fundraiser for Chris Christie. the GOP is lacking direction and needs to redefine itself away from its crazy core. Zuckerberg is, like, the first ever young tech billionaire to show interest in any GOP politician ever.

it's a pity, though: i like some aspects of chris christie, but, generally, i dislike him quite a bit. when it comes to GOP types, i'm more of a schwarzenegger/bloomberg type. but i'm much more interested in seeing bankers hang from lampposts than jailing people standing in front of banks asking why bankers aren't hanging from lampposts, so that gets rid of a lot of the GOP (and Dem) agenda.

serious question: why the hell doesn't my printer work in lunix? the lunix recognized it, installed the driver, and now, uh, nothing. THANKS OBAMACARE.

yeah, republican moderates... by the mariner (2.00 / 0) #1 Thu Jan 24, 2013 at 09:28:17 PM EST
i'm going to make a crazy guess and say zuckerberg's angle on christie is he thinks moderate politicians are the road to support for big internet companies getting favorable legislative treatment. christie's not much of a presidential candidate, but he'd make a good senator. 

lp0 on fire? sounds like you've been playing to much nethack on the company's roll!

Is it ironic that, given the genesis of the free software movement can be traced back to wanting to fix a printer driver, printers tend to be the most impossible part of the GNU userland?

I recommend always assuming 7th normal form where items in a text column are not allowed to rhyme.

with lots of Jersey friends...before Sandy, Christie wasn't as...well liked. Teachers unions, his tax plan, etc. Even I was more than annoyed with his original plans to realign the best state university in the nation with some lesser schools.

After Sandy, even my NJ teacher friends who Christie was willing to pressure, are willing to stand by the guy. I honestly don't think he could have done a better job, he's been doing the right things to get the state and all the people back on track.

I mean, rutgers is probably top 5 in terms of state schools, but i'd rank berk, michigan, and texas over it (depending on what you're interested in). there would be arguments about illinois, minnesota, and wisconsin, too. oh, right, and there's UCLA, too, but i think that depends a lot more on what you're into. virginia is also pretty good. oh, and washington. uh, actually, yeah, i don't know about top 5 for rutgers unless you have a specific interest where it beats out berkeley, michigan, UCLA, washington, texas, wisconsin...

Fuck by Gedvondur (4.00 / 2) #9 Fri Jan 25, 2013 at 02:46:54 PM EST
Fuck Christy.

Fuck the GOP.

Fuck Zukerburg. Oh, and fuck Facebook.


None of these things are good for America, kindness, decency or morality.  So fuck them all.

Oh, and all this "but the Democrats are the same" spineless apologetic bullshit, fuck that too.  I don't see Democrats trying to fuck the poor and middle class at every turn.  Anybody who just throws up their hands and says "but they are ALL bad" is acting like an idiot child  who doesn't want to make anyone angry by picking sides.


To conclude FUCK FUCK FUCK anything Republican or even vaguely related to them.

He's probably an internet libertarian by theboz (4.00 / 2) #12 Fri Jan 25, 2013 at 04:54:38 PM EST
The tech world is full of these, "who needs society I do everything myself and only care about money" types.  They fit in well with the anti-civilization GOP.

What about ... by lm (4.00 / 1) #19 Sat Jan 26, 2013 at 06:24:27 PM EST
... if you're going to live here, you have to play by these rules and one of those rules is that you get locked up if you do not do X?

If you don't like this agreement, feel free to go somewhere where you do not have to live by these rules.

Kindness is an act of rebellion.
[ Parent ]
That agreement lets you do exactly that by lm (4.00 / 1) #21 Sat Jan 26, 2013 at 08:14:59 PM EST
If you want to be left alone, go find some space where there is no such agreement.

But if you're going to live in an area that is already settled which already has a social contract in place, then you need to play by the rules.

No one is bullying you. Either you agree to play by the rules or you don't.

Kindness is an act of rebellion.

You don't have to move by lm (4.00 / 1) #23 Sun Jan 27, 2013 at 04:34:49 PM EST
... but if you stay you have to abide by the rules.

The rules were there before you arrived on the scene. It's not like they sprang them on you all of a sudden.

Kindness is an act of rebellion.

They lack legitimacy on what grounds? by lm (2.00 / 0) #25 Sun Jan 27, 2013 at 08:56:45 PM EST
Okay, say Mr. X walked into Ms. Y's home. Ms. Y says to Mr. X, you can stay for as long you agree to my rules including the rules about breaking the rules which include various sorts of physical punishments as retribution for breaking the rules. However, you are free at any time to leave prior to breaking any rules and if you leave the rules will no longer apply to you. But if you stay and break the rules, you cannot then leave until such time as you have been punished for breaking the rules. After receiving such punishments, you will be free to leave until such time as you break the rules again.

Under what conditions would Ms. Y's rules not be legitimate?

Kindness is an act of rebellion.

Close, but not quite by lm (4.00 / 1) #31 Mon Jan 28, 2013 at 08:44:13 AM EST
``When I was born a gang of people I don't know came up and said 'you're in our club whether you like it or not''

No, you were born into an area that had been under someone else's control for millennia.

Conceptually speaking there is no difference in kind between you being born in some state and you walking into Ms. Y's house. In both cases, you've randomly entered a place where there are operative rules.

I don't know what the rules are in the UK but if they're anywhere close to the rules in the US, you can leave anytime you want. So it isn't like you're being forced to abide by the rules.

Kindness is an act of rebellion.

dmg's property is different from everyone else's, it's his natural right. It came into existence entirely through his effort, and independently of the coercive state which seeks to violate it.
