Not in all cases, for the Samsung Galaxy S3 once you take the Android 4.3 update your are stuck, it locks the bootloader and will brick it you try to roll back. Sure you can use safestrap, but you are still stuck on touchwiz based 4.3 roms. If you didn't take the update, you can root, install recovery, and go straight to 4.4.2 roms without the touchwiz nonsense. This kind of behavior from Samsung and Verizon is criminal in my opinion.
While some do pay into the system, I have seen many W4's that indicate they have 20 dependents. Since this isn't verified until tax season, they effectively escape all income taxes. Who gets screwed is the legitimate low income works who pay payroll taxes. What would be interesting to see is the breakdown of which states this money is going to, the last one I saw the southeast of the country was receiving the most government aide.
They weren't always FDIC insured. Not too long ago they were not insured at all, so you would only put money in banks that you trusted. These banks still sometimes would fail. FDIC insurance came about to eliminate the fear of a bank collapsing. One day a bit coin exchange/bank may be FDIC (or similar) insured, but probably the whole thin will collapse first.
The problem is the FISA courts are not oversight. Since they have been around they have rejected only ~5 requests, compared to the thousands they have approved. That is a rubber stamp, not oversight.
Since we do not know what the original words of the bible were, I believe that anyone who believes the Bible is the literal word of God and should be read literally is a fool and should be treated as such.
By the sounds of it the police aren't doing it; maybe the specific 'airport police' that the airport is paying for. They do specify that they're doing 'citizen's arrests' so they're certainly not official, though I don't understand how they can get court dates without formal police presences.
Of course, it also sucks because traditionally you can't get charged with trespassing without being formally told to leave. Once you're told to leave you have to do so in an expedient manner, but you're allowed to collect your goods and leave in a safe manner.
I also wonder if this is the airports getting upset by the loss of revenue, as most airports charge the taxi's $2-5 per pickup, a fee that gets passed directly to the traveller.
But again, you are thinking like a homeowner that plans to stay in the home for some time. Politicians think very short term, so instead of "If we fix that bridge it will bring more people to the town, and eventually lead to more tax revenue", its "I dont think we we should fix the bridge since it will be expensive now, it will last a few more years". Short term politicians have no incentives to do what is best for the country/state/city in the long term.
Your quoting airbags reminded me - the first generation of airbags were dictated by the government to be set up to do a lick of good for an unbuckled passanger. As a result they detonated with such force they killed lighter people (children and small females).
Is the street lighting, road markings, and junctions a result of regulations or industry 'best practices'?
While airbags were a bit off the mark to start, the goal and intent were correct and eventually got us where we are today. Airbags have saved many many more lives than they have taken, so I'm willing to take the growing pains as a society to get to where we are today.
As for best practices, how many cities are willingly putting up more street lights? Or repainting roads to make the markings clear? Most of these things the cities/states are required to do. If we got rid of all regulations, we would be fucked. What incentive would a city or state have to fix anything? Why wouldn't a business just dump waste into streams and lakes that feed your drinking water? Its faster/cheaper/easier so it would happen over night.
I hate red tape just as much as the next guy, and I spend a good chunk of my time at work filling out "TPS" reports, but these systems are in place to keep douchebags (people/corporations) from doing what comes naturally to them, screwing us all over. As far as the story goes, I like the idea of rideshare, and can see how taxis are getting pissed, but is that the best thing our police departments can be doing, investigating and ticketing normal people over stepping on a taxi drivers toes?
The problem with Argon is that is it is a direct replacement for Oxygen in the brain. Your brain thinks it is Oxygen, but it is not. You feel fine, and never realize you are having problems. It will eventually move out of your brain, but it takes time. As for the printer, ours is from a different company, SLM. EOS is the biggest, but we prefered the powder handling of the SLM. Concept Laser also makes a nice product.
The metal DMLS printers are designed to constantly "leak" some Argon, as they are always purging a bit, and adding in new argon to the system. And yes Argon is dangerous, but as long as your room is ventilated you are fine. My office is in the same room as a DMLS printer that I run daily. Keep the doors open, and be cautious, and you are fine. Be warned about the metal ones, they fail as often or more often than the plastic ones. I have been running mine for 6+ months, and I still struggle with printing "thick" (1/2" or so) pieces. The distortion in the metal printers is generally worse than ABS, have to strongly fixture the part to the base plate with supports.
What kind of metal printer are you getting? We have an SLM-280.
As for the Stratasys ones, another department here purchased one and just now realized you have to buy their ABS, it will not work otherwise, which is exactly like 2d printers.
Half of the fun of 3D printers is getting angry at them. If you want one to "Just Work" you are out of luck. Some are better than others, but they all are basically hot glue guns with some servo motors, there is no feedback, no control. You can however, print some really cool stuff. Sure I would not let my parents buy one, but I have loved mine personally.
Are you actually terrified of them? Have you ever skipped a trip, or stayed home out of fear? We were outraged as a country after 9/11, not scared. We were sad and angry, but went back to work the next day anyway.
It was never about them hating our freedom, Osama himself said it was because of our support of the House of Saud, keeping them in power in Saudi Arabia, and our support of the state of Israel. To those goals, Osama failed, we still have the same power structures in place in those two countries. Now Egypt and other places are changing, so it was a success in other places.
I second this notion. I pay $60/m for 40mb/2mb, and it is really shitty during peak hours. I can barely get 1-2mb down during the evening Netflix rush. And God help my latency if the wife decides to watch Netflix while I'm trying to game, goes to absolute shit. 500+ ms ping, seriously? We need more competition, it is completely ridiculous what we put up with as internet here in the states.
Of course electric cars are not suitable to drive across the country at a drop of a hat, neither were regular gasoline cars when they came out 100 years ago. AAA used to have maps indicating how much extra fuel you would need to carry to get from one city to another, as there were often not enough refueling stations in between. Most households have more than one car, so keep a regular gasoline car around if you are worried random unplanned trips. For planned trips, rent a car/van for the week if you have to.
Electric cars solve the needs of 99% of the trips taken everyday, don't spend your time fretting about the 1%.
We are arguing the same point. I meant if Americans hate one side enough to vote for the other side, the propaganda is working. Both candidates are painting the other as pure evil incarnate, so you have to vote for our side to keep them from power. In reality, Americans would be much better served without either of these candidates.
Both candidates are just populists. They say what they think we want to hear, and that is about it. They have no principles, as principles would keep some portion of the population from voting for you. The fact that anyone in America hates either candidate shows that the election propaganda is working. They want you to vote against someone, instead of for someone.
They don't even need to knock. No-Knock warrents are the default when the criminal could easily destroy the evidence. Normally used to drug cases, because hey, we have this SWAT team that is bored.
Thanks. I moved to SC for a job (they exist here) and will need to look into this. Its crazy you have to individually call all three credit bureaus though, seems like a good way to waste a few hours.
I think AC's statement was addressing how long winded your response was. While I do not disagree with your thesis, your argument was quite thorough for a simple comparison. This leads AC and myself to believe you've spent a LOT of time thinking about this. Carry on.

Not always true. I've seen many incompetent people continue to get promoted in industry. The government ones just get more press.

But then when he wanted to show you a different game, say battlefield 3, he would have to bring over his entire xbox instead of simply the game.
