There is now a Linux Mint Debian Edition that is not based on Ubuntu at all, but the rolling release of Debian Testing. My Ubuntu just went EOL and I'm seriously considering LMDE as an alternative, though I still need to research about installing Opera and if Money Manager ex (mmex) will run without issue. I was able to run it as a Live DVD too.
Judges should be forced to say in any trial that will present DNA evidence: "Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, please keep in mind a DNA match means only the DNA matched and does not prove *how* the DNA came to be there. It is far easier to collect and synthesize a suspects DNA after the fact and plant it on the evidence at the police departments' leasure than it is to fake fingerprints. A DNA match cannot and should not mean 100% absolute proof of guilt."
Keep in mind, police departments are now starting to take DNA samples during the most minor of offenses, just to have it on file to plant on the evidence of the next stone-cold whodunnit.
We USians mostly are still decent people, but we willingly take bribes in the forms of mortgage writeoffs, artificially low gasoline prices, and indefensible tax cuts for the wealthy (believing we unwealthy will magically become rich if the already rich are coddled), along with being okay for all the killing in the name of this unsustainable consumerism. This is why moronic corporate-owned entertainment is so important to Joe Consumer: to help drown out the inner voice shouting that this is all wrong.
The Iraq war goal was filled. We're still in Afghanistan. Why?
Afghanistan is the ultimate test bed for military weapons systems and (much more importantly) surveillance systems - which are already being rolled out in the US under the Orwellian justification of Security. We're not there for justice nor even revenge; just R&D.
I assume Canada doesn't want to even try refining tar into gasoline (the list of by products must be long and toxic), so they send it across the entirety of the continental US to Houston for refining. Why Houston? So the final product can be more easily exported to the global market. My fellow idiot USians think this pipline will result in lower gasoline prices*, but it will only result in the inevitible massive oil spills and ground water contamination.
* - It is beyond high time to take down all the two-foot tall numbers screaming out the current price of gasoline (but no other commodity?), given that even a 15-year old sedan gets about 25 mpg. Shouting the price of gasoline (artificially low w.r.t. the rest of the world) literally from the rooftops keeps it as a political football for moronic voters to help them vote against their own interests. 'Oh! The price of gas went up ten cents! I can't afford another $2.50 to completely fill up my 25 gallon tank!!'
Progressive Insurance - and no doubt others - already offer a plug-in spy box in exchange for lower insurance rates. But mainly the data will be used as justification to deny damn near every claim.
China is waiting for the collapse of the US, Roman Empire style without an (international) shot fired. Once they pick up the final paroxyism signified by the Cheetos and Chrystal Meth mushroom cloud, they can crack open the seal on the World Domination plans. The (lumm)ox is slow, but the earth is patient.
Following Louie's lead, Kumail Nanjiani and Jim Gaffigan are selling specials direct to their customers instead of scumbag middlemen. Here's hoping folks like Springsteen, Prince, et al get on board too.
Big Hollywood could teach organized crime a graduate level course on money laundering and shell games. According to one set of books, Star Wars didn't make any money. But, since BH essentially owns both US political parties, this is all perfectly legal.
The thing every Chicken Little running around shouting 'Nukes' ignores is that the conventional weapons (missles) all have return addresses which would be visited a hundred-fold over. Even smaller, non-conventional ones can(?) be traced back based on their isotope signatures. A case could be made if everyone had nukes, MADD would make them rather irrelevant. The biggest concern is their theft or unauthorized launch by psychos.
I was considering replacing my ancient round thermostat with a programmable one. I swear their used to be programmable stats that had the classic round form factor, but all those for sale now are rectangular, which would look ridiculous in the middle of the round escutcheon the current one is mounted upon (which I have no interest in removing and dealing with what lies beneath it, paint-wise).
His choice ('Free will, mutha-fscker, ever heard of it?). Color me dubious that a handful of anons writing 'doo-it, doo-it' could convince anyone to take that last step. Unless he had a long, well-documented history of self-harm for attention-getting, file his choice right next to (what should be) our inherent right to control our own bodies. Yes, even men. We all have the right to sign up for the Hemingway Retirement Plan as our personal circumstances warrant.
you forgot to add in the massively increased chances of getting the disease when herd immunity is removed. The increase would not be insignificant.
This is why - when the inevitable child death happens due to some other parents' anti-science bullshit - those 'attack vector' parents should be arrested and tried for the crime of manslaughter at very least. Though a case could be made for straight murder, given the willful intent of the decision.

to the beginning. Everyone stole from Xerox PARC, but revisionist fanboism has airbrushed Steve Jobs out from being the first in that line.
Hotmail's review of Our American Cousin was spot-on. Odd intermission, though.

"In related news, police have announced finding the body of a hooker in the trunk of a car owned by David Ernst."

Just don't run a Gieger counter over it.

"His name was John E. Brennon"
"His name was John E. Brennon"
"His name was John E. Brennon..."
And nothing else, ever. Especially the unbreakable, distopian police state they will inherit.

As does Jenny McCarthy for being more deadly than any prick yelling 'FIRE' in a crowded theater.
