You are completely ignorant of history. Immigration has NEVER occurred in small steady flows - It has always occurred in large chunks from this country or that country. Just like a good fondue, the chunks melt down and get absorbed by the time the next one comes.
Clearly lying is a morally un-praiseworthy activity since lying is most likely to harm you in the long run while also harming the general good. Lying benefits no one except the person telling the lie (making it a selfish act) and always harms at least one other person. It is, at best, a more or less neutral act, and more often then not, an un-praiseworthy moral activity.
The "cord" refers to a cable cord, which is bound by a minimum term contract, cancellation fees, is horribly overpriced, and is often controlled via monopoly.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about... at all...
A Linux Disto is a flavor - it's a set of pre-installed tools, features, etc. It's not a separate OS. Unless you're doing something *really* weird, you should be able to compile the same for the most part. In addition, AMD already stated they were going to open source the drivers, with FULL support - this isn't us just whining because we can, this is us asking AMD to live up to it's own promise.
Well, yes. If you modify the product, then it's on you. However, having the code be open source means:
It can be inspected
It can be verified
Patches can be written (and then submitted to the manufacturer)
The idea is not that the little IT captain at your local hospital is going to rewrite the MRI. It's that he's going to run into an issue, pull up the source code, write up a patch, submit it to the manufacturer, then the manufacturer is going to throw it out, force their engineers to write it again, run it through QA testing, and then issue a patch.
The manufacturer can't claim the problem isn't solvable (patches can be provided) and they can't claim it doesn't exist (source code can be used as proof). At the same time, assuming they use code signing, only they can modify the machine without voiding the warranty.
Now, here's where it gets better. Say the manufacturer dies off/stops caring/whatever. Source code is already out there - an independent (certified/insured/over-payed) firm can come in, release their own patches, and still modify the machine (albeit voiding the original warranty while still keeping the hospital from being exposed to damages via contract). Suddenly, you aren't depending on the OEM to provide EOL patches for the entire life of the machine, yet at the same time, the OEM isn't responsible for some dickweed tweaking an MRI machine to kill people. Win/Win for everyone.
In addition, all the research and technology for that MRI machine is now accessible to others, which then lowers the cost of MRI machines, makes them more available around the Globe, and lowers the cost of ownership. At the same time, the OEM is still making money hand over fist from insuring and babysitting the machine (they now have to compete with independent firms, but they have a major advantage as the OEM). Again, Win/Win for everyone.
The justification for the TSA is that it works - they (supposedly) catch people who carry "dangerous" items on to planes.
The fact is, and as this video shows reasonably well, they don't catch dangerous items. You can, rather trivially, walk through TSA security checkpoints with a gun (and it has in fact happened, accidently, before).
A DUI/DWI checkpoint exists to catch drunk drivers, and they tend to be fairly effective at it. The cops also don't harass you, they check to make sure you don't smell like you took a bath in a martini, and let you go. They don't force you to get out, grope your genitals and then take naked photos of you. They don't give a crap if you bring a bag of candy with you - they just don't want you to drive drunk (which we can all agree is reasonable).
Right, and I don't see anyone screaming "You're violating my first amendment rights!"
What we are asking is that since Google typically does try to promote as much freedom as possible within the confines of their rules (as it makes them look good and certainly helps their popularity and thus profit), this does seem odd unless the videos contained hate speech or something else which have already been against their TOS - at which point, there shouldn't be a need for a request.
It may be that Google is complying purely for political reasons, and, if that's the case, then we should be talking to our government(s) about why they are trying to take down these videos, since that IS a constitutional issue (at least in America, your mileage may vary) - even if it's not a "command" but a request, all US governmental entities (federal or state or whatever) ARE required to uphold the constitution in good faith.
Actually, I've had a triumph since they came out (ordered within a day of release) and I've had no major problems aside from one minor bug with the phone resetting if it negotiates a wireless connection with TLS.
In addition, Virgin mobile is constantly getting new phones, including the Evo 4 V (actually it's a rebranded Evo 3D), the Optimus Elite, and even the iPhone 4S. Yes, sure, they had cheap phones. They also have amazing prices. Get over it.
To be fair though, OS X is a very heavily modded Unix based system that is a pretty far ways away from any *nix, aside from a handful of terminal commands.
It's a very meaningful statement, you're just an idiot. What is being said here is that
1. The intelligence community IS collecting data on Americans
2. The intelligence community IS storing said data
3. The intelligence community hasn't done much to stop said collection
I realize anything beyond strict sentential logic is beyond you, but please try to keep up with the rest of us and learn to read between the lines.
Sinking to the level of your enemies makes you just as bad as them. We are supposed to hold ourselves up as an example, as a nation which fights honorably. Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck in the "Well they do it so we can do it too" mentality.
Also realize we're fighting multiple groups. It is not just "The enemy". It's the actual terrorists (who are pretty few and far inbetween), the freedom fighters who are upset we've invaded their country, the militia and rabble who have seen their mothers, sisters, brothers, and so on be killed and taken up arms to avenge them, and so on. Yes, at least one of these groups (the terrorists) are going to play dirty, hide in homes, dress as civilians, and so on. The other groups are not.
So, to say "Well, someone somewhere did something that wasn't kosher so we should just bomb the f$ck out of all of them and go home" is disingenuous, ignores the complexity of the issue, and is immoral and unethical.
Actually, the price of corn would drop to nothing. We subsidize people to NOT grow corn. Also, most of the corn which is grown is feed corn, not human corn. We need to start limiting HFCS at the manufacturer, not at the cash register.
That sort of system can't be scaled or applied on a consistent basis. People who engage in sex are more likely to get STDs, have babies (which are hideously expensive) and even have sprains then people who don't engage in sex - should we start taxing sex as well? What about boxing? Soccer? Football?
People who chew on pens can rack up impressively high dental bills - we should put a $0.10 charge on all pens and issue 15$ citations for everyone who is caught chewing on a pen. Oh, and don't forget about nail biters - that's a 15$ citation there as well.
"Further back" when applied to "The big bang" may not even make sense. Time may not have had meaning or existed prior to the Big Bang. Though, this is all theory.
That's just not true. A lot of people use Linux on the desktop - yes, currently, a majority of these people are programmers, but in the past year alone, I've installed Linux as the main OS for 12 non-techie people, all of whom still use it today.
In addition, Linux isn't just a "Server OS" (though, it is a great one!). It's also a mobile OS (android), a router firmware, it powers things like the Boxee box, and so on. It certainly is NOT just a "Server OS".

Welcome to Capitalism.
This is a capitalist society. Either compete (and win) or die. You want a high standard of living? Earn it.
Oh and also the baby breastfeeding scene..... no wait that was Rome. (Another show I need to rewatch.)
No, that was GOT too. It was also a LOT creepier in GOT
It's not so much the bootloader, but rather it's tied into the graphics SoC, and the parts needed to get that playing nicely.
Someones breaking out Hume rather early.

Citizenship? No. Legal Residency? Yes (which is all that is required).
There are plenty of people in the US who aren't citizens and are still perfectly legal residents.

Look up "Code Signing". Then bash your head against your desk three or four times as punishment for the stupidity you typed out above.

Wrong. South Korea, England, Ireland - err, should I go on? Unless, of course, you're suggesting everywhere that's not America is "backwards".
You don't get to demand proof in the form you want it in. There is plenty of other proof for Evolution - the LepTree project is a great example.
So, where's my latinum?

If individual shows had to depend on paying subscribers paying by the episode. most shows would never get off the ground.
Given the nature of most of those shows, is that a bad thing?
