I didn't leave anything out. I thought the obvious was- well, obvious. Do I need to repeat everything you should already know?

You should also note that the warrant-less wiretapping was only used on international calls, and to that end, with people with suspected terrorist connections. No one familiar with the program, including the democrats involved has ever claimed otherwise. The only people who have were the ones attempting to cause a problem out of it. As for it being an expansion of the government, that too is questionable at best. We were already able to listen to state actors and their agents without a warrant. FISA had a problem because there was no technical definition of a terrorist that fell within the state actors exemptions and a FISA warrant was needed. That has been corrected by law because people knew the need for the action was real. Bush actually got a bump in the polls when this was released because it showed the country they were doing something about the issues of terrorism on domestic soil.

Now, if you really want to get into Bush's expansion of government and deficit spending, outside of two wars, the next biggest thing was No Child Left Behind which despite it's resistance and overall criticisms, was somewhat of a noble goal that most people were willing to accept.

As for Obama expanding gun rights, no he didn't. Congress did because a rider was attached and it was the only way they could get their credit card bill passed. Guns weren't even banned on federal land anyways. Concealed carry was banned at certain parks in certain states and most states have laws about guns on public lands unless hunting and all this bill said was that it's allowed as long as it violated no other law. I frequent Wayne National forest and take my .357, 44mag, or 9 mil with me all the time. I go hunting there all the time too. All state forest in my area is public hunting and all national forests are public hunting. Further more, we are allowed camping just off the trails and the rangers actually suggest having a side arm for the overnight stays. All this law does is say the states can make their own rules for government lands in their areas.

Obama is clear on his gun rights stand. All you have to do is listen to his own words and statements. Smoke and mirrors might have you fooled. However, that does not make your position true. Obama's past is clear, his present is clear, all you need to do is a Google Search for Obama is anti gun and you will be presented with tons of links presenting his position and most of them use his own words. Don't complain about biased sites either, there are plenty on both sides reporting the same damn shit.

Why yes, it's available online right here. Have fun reading it!

Really? Let me Google that for you.

Yes, they are still selling Ubuntu boxes.

If you'd bothered to Google it, you'd know that Gif can do true color, too.

All-in-all, this is probably just fine. It will keep anyone from creating dead knock-offs, but not much more.

So what about parodies? I'm not sure I understand what a design patent on a web page is protecting, other than the trademarked content of the page. It seems a little redundant and otherwise burdensome on the patent system, to me.

Whoosh.

They may hold a small handful of valid patents - like, keyboard and mouse, maybe?

WTF are you talking about? Engelbart gave Xerox PARC their start.

Stop passing judgment about the patents companies may or may not validly hold, and focus your rage productively on the USPTO. A 200 year old organization that still includes the rule: "If the inventor is insane, the application for patent may be made by a guardian."

But... oh, yeah... "the science is settled". That means that any evidence to the contrary is automatically not credible, right? (Especially since (gasp!) Fox has been involved! Taints the whole thing, really.) Sorry to trouble you.

And "just fucking google it" has started replacing RTFM. :-) See also "Let Me Google That For You."

A guy on a list I used to be on used to ask REALLY dumb, easily-googlable questions. I mean, you could literally take the message subject, plug it into google, and get the answer. I wrote (but never deployed) a script that would take the subject of his message, google it, and reply to the list with the first page of search results in the body. (Something like "links --dump http://www.google.com/search?q=$1+$2+$3+$4+$5 | mail blah@example.org")

By We, I meant Americans, and more specifically Floridians... which didn't change that law until 2007. So for the majority of my life that was the law. I'm glad to see it has since changed.

They still loose the right to bear arms. I googled it this time to be sure.

Most CO2 emissions aren't created by humans...it's by volcanic activity

I know these things can be tricky to research, but as I once worked at a research centre, I've used my considerable professional skills to find you this link. Hope this helps you, not just with this question, but with posts in the future!

New York Sun, July 2007:

China loses between 100 and 200 million tons of coal a year -- a significant fraction of its production of 2.26 billion tons -- to mine fires, according to Holland's International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation. This results in carbon dioxide emissions in a range of between 560 and 1,120 million metric tons, equaling 50% to 100% of all U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from gasoline.

Googling for "coal seam fires" seems to yield enough corroborating evidence to indicate that this isn't just a crackpot talkin'.

Someone who's accessing a DRAC or an iLO should be able to disable it.

But 99.9% of the people who would be getting this warning are not getting it because they're connecting to some hardware that uses a self-signed certificate, they're getting it because someone was too cheap to pay the $20/year it costs to get a certificate, or because they're actually experiencing a MITM attack.

They need someone to put the ribbon on the presents.

Unfortunately, the presents no longer open the way that they always have.

They do if you know the right tricks:

Well I guess you've been lucky then. First I tried Lights of America bulbs, all of which died in my upside-down kitchen lights due to heat. Then I went back to incandescents. Then I found Philips bulbs in Walmart that I decided to try because they are a known-good brand. Well they did last longer, but it didn't take long for them to start flickering when lit and then die completely. I opened them up, and all the caps were leaking fluid - a sure sign of overheating from being placed upside-down. So I'm back to the incandescents.

It seems the ONLY fixture where CFLs will work for me is a well-ventilated lampshade-type lamp. They won't work in upside-down fixtures, high-humidity areas like my bathroom, or outside in the cold porch light (they don't die; they just refuse to ignite).

If you think I'm lying (or that my problems are unique), then take a look at google: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=problems+with+CFLs ----- As for the "mythical half-power incandescents" you could have looked that up on wikipedia instead of calling bullshit. Or you could google it. Or you could read this article: http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/ge/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20070223005120

Here's another technique that reduces incandescent power to 70% (i.e. a 42 watt Edison bulb can produce the same light as a 60) - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/06/business/energy-environment/06bulbs.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

You've really never heard of strict liability in relation to the underage consumption of alcohol? Have you heard of google?
        http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%22strict+liability%22+sale+alcohol

Here's one example, from California, in the first page of Google hits:
        http://law.onecle.com/california/business/25658.html
Which was enacted in 1998 and upheld in court by 2002.

And that's far from the only example. Many jurisdictions have even enacted strict liability laws against private-residence underage consumption -- where simply "failing to prevent" underage consumption is a crime, even if you didn't provide the alcohol, or did not have reason to believe that it would be consumed by underage individuals.

Googlesays there is more trial and error in bridge building than you might like to admit.

LMGTFY. Speaks for itself. When you don't have to be a genius and just do a google search to find the answer, it's not in the "difficult decisions" category.

Your whole thing there, doesn't involve physical effort or stress. Thus, it will not turn people on or off from any activity. It doesn't even have to do with people making the decision to do an activity, as above.
