Besides the point that the sibling AC makes about running out of land fill space the local dump does a pretty good business selling soil made from the compost, green waste and chicken manure that the chicken farmers have a hard time disposing. CO2 is also much more harmless then methane.
Perhaps if they took into account the problems with finding new land fill sites. The problems with containing the leachites from the sites and the problems with the people drinking the heavy metal laced water from down stream of the land fill site the conclusion would be different.
It's amazing how many people believe the Conservative mantra of "We're fiscally responsible" while they promise tax cuts, spending increases and one of these years they'll rebalance the budget which was balanced when they came to power. The other promise is that they're business friendly, which is also true if you're a foreign oil company.
Why do some Americans have such a weird definition of republic? There is nothing in the meaning of republic that includes having to have states, Australia is a Monarchy, the opposite of republic and has states and there are lots of small republics that don't have states. The USA is a Federated Representational Republic where the Representatives are democratically elected by common vote. Also why do you mention the Federal government? The parent clearly meant Mayor or other member of the city council or possibly a county government office. You are right though about only having to move to another city/county.
It takes very little time and evidence to get an order from a judge to close down an alleged child porn site. Then the alleged criminal has the opportunity to argue his side of the story and if it is not actually a child porn site they can get the judge to overturn the order shutting the site down.
The government should not be able to take down alleged child porn sites or stop alleged terrorists from communicating. If they want to stop this stuff then they should use due process, as in the courts. This allows the alleged bad guys a chance to present their side.
The first amendment includes freedom of the press, which obviously includes peoples access to the press. I've never heard of it meaning you get free newspapers, just that the government can't stop you from acquiring a newspaper of your choice. This would just be the same for the internet.
The AC exaggerates somewhat but the English at least did have a history of having certain rights. This was first codified in the Magna Carta, eg the right of Habeas Corpus which was reaffirmed in the The Habeas Corpus Act 1679. Some were only in common law such as the right to a trial by jury and the right to unreasonable search. Being common law the legislature could easily override them. The Bill of Rights of 1689 codified a few more rights. The right for protestants to bear arms for self-defence, the right of free speech around parliament, the right of the people to have a say in the government and so on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_Rights_1689. The problem with the Bill of Rights was it was just a regular law that could be overridden by another law. This was one of the drivers of the American Revolution, the fact that their rights as English men were being infringed.
The reason to limit copying was to give the artist a better chance at making money with his creation, and thus encourage the artist to create more.
No it wasn't. Here's the title of the first copyright law, "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or purchasers of such Copies, during the Times therein mentioned". It did invest the authors with rights that previously were owned by the publishers so helping their chances of making money but originally, as first introduced to Parliament, it was about the publishers making money and even today it is about the publishers who conveniently pretend it is for the "poor starving artist" The early history of copyright is also interesting as right from the beginning the elected part of government was willing to give the publishers all rights indefinitely and it was the unelected House of Lords that fought for reasonableness.
The abortion is murder message isn't so bad but it needs to be accompanied by "here's how to prevent it" by someone with condoms in one hand, iud's in the other hand and in the gripping hand, the pill. Lets stop abortion by stopping unwanted pregnancy.
3 MP3 players in this household, none of which play AAC. Average cost of the players, about $50. I don't know if you call that cheap. They are all a couple of years old but work fine so not interested in purchasing newer ones. 3 computers as well, need to use a video player to play AAC on all of them. They are all somewhat old with the newest being 2.5 years old and a netbookthat came with XP (actually booting into Linux might improve things, haven't checked)
It's been awhile but WP8 only depended on xlib5 and libc5 so was easy to run. That was the full version available as a tarball. The deb also had another dependency, xlib5g or some such, it would probably also be fine if the dependency on xlib5g was removed.
The people selling drugs don't bother checking ID or worry about selling to minors unlike the legal regulated sellers. It's much easier for kids to get drugs then alcohol or even tobacco (here in BC where it is regulated with an enforced age limit).
Good point, when technology decreases the cost of a product by 99%, a monopoly can lower the price drastically and still make a larger profit by keeping the price artificially high and at the same time convince people that their monopoly is the reason the price has dropped. Much like how Microsoft claims to have made computers affordable even though technology advances have brought the price of hardware down by 90% and the price of Microsoft's operating system has increased by 400%.
Interestingly, Canada's current Prime Minister campaigned with a single speech which he repeated verbatim (down to the times at which he took a sip of water during the speak) every time he gave it. He gave the exact same speech twice a day every day for over a month (and won).
Don't forget the effort they put in to discrediting the leader of the opposition for months in commercials. Also how good party #3 did, now party #2. The majority of Canadians did not want our current PM, but with the first past the post system...
This might not be a Federal crime but I honestly believe it should be. It's quite clear the States have no desire to prevent this kind of behaviour.
TENTH AMENDMENT of the U.S. Constition
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
All that the tenth amendment says is that the constitution would need amending to protect children from beating. It was done before to give black people rights so amending the constitution to give children the right not to be beaten doesn't seem that much of a stretch.
All crime is federal in Canada, the criminal code is federal. Provinces have laws about things like the motor vehicle act and of course property related stuff. Provinces also run most courts and prisons which is why our wonderful right wing government can get tough on crime without worrying about paying for it. (crime rates are at a 45 year low yet our government wants to force the provinces to spend billions on prisons to combat crime). Still this arsehole would lose his judgeship really quick here and with any luck go to jail. The government is bringing in minimum sentences for child abuse, IIRC about a third as the minimums they're bringing in for growing 6 marijuana plants, even if they're sickly male plants. Right wing priorities, pot is much worse then child abuse.

Lunokhod 1 was operational for 11 lunar days, 8 more then planned. Lunokhod 2 had worse luck and still ran for 4 lunar days, covering 37 km.

Probably portability. MP3 works in most any player whereas AAC doesn't.

You're thinking of the totalitarians who took over the Bolsheviks, generally by murder, and continued the Russian tradition of totalitarian rule.
Usually you get a better response with a small bribe, especially when wearing a machete.
