I was wondering the same thing. I understand why some services might brand with different regional domains, but some services don't seem to make sense to use anything other than the.com.
I can't speak for the Greens, but do you have any idea how small the Libertarian organizations are? The party in the state I live in has an unpaid executive director and a volunteer state committee. None of us are able to make our living as political wonks. Even the national party has just a handful of paid staff. I think the national budget is something in the ballpark of a million dollars from some number of donors. Putting all that money behind Sarvis in Virginia would barely budge his numbers.
So many people are conditioned to vote R or D because that's what they've always done. Most people only vote for specific parties and rarely research the candidates before heading to the ballot box. As a prime example, Republican primary voters in my state voted a felon as their auditor candidate over the party backed candidate. Twice, an embarrassment was voted the Libertarian gubernatorial nominee over party backed candidates whose only crime were having surnames that didn't sound Murican enough. States should stop funding party primaries and let them either handle it at convention or require them to pay for them.
It's not clear to me since I'm not a doctor, but I recall he speculated on his blog a few months ago that Larry Page had a similar condition that he himself suffered from:
Maybe they are trying to free you up for a separate project, for instance? At my last job, we had a contractor who did the majority of our programming, as well as some networking/admin. Part of my tasks, as an employee of the company, was to learn some of the networking/admin tasks to free his time up up for additional programming and higher-level network design. It may not hurt to ask the client what their future intentions are, just in case.
While cleaning out some old letters from the attic of the family farm, I found a letter from my grandfather to the adjoining natural gas pipeline. Back in the '60s or maybe '70s, something had leaked into the pond near the property line, making some of the cattle sick. Amazingly, the government laws on pollution did not prevent this accident but his hiring of a lawyer with his private money made him whole without having to go to court.
I've attended three Libertarian conventions where the party's platform has been modified and kept myself abreast of the actions of a fourth that I was not able to attend. Do you have any evidence for the claim you made? Post a link, if so.
Where I live, party committees don't pick who is on the ballot unless a candidate withdraws from the race.
Missouri's Republican party had a massive aversion to the first wave of Ron Paul supporters in the 2008 election. Even thought they showed up as you say, and became members of the county committee, and were selected as delegates to district conventions and so on.
In 2012, the RP folks were better organized and educated and swept the county caucus where I live and also placed several people on the county committee. They came within one vote of having their candidate defeat the sitting chairman in the primary elections for committeeman. They have some of the power that you think the position wields, but I'm fairly certain the establishment still looks down at them.
Indeed, it was a good day when Gaston's future was so bright, shades couldn't help him.
As a former Datastorm employee, the takeaway I had from the acquisition by Quarterdeck is to never take payment for your company fully in the acquiring company's stock.
The family farmstead that my brother and I have has a small pump for a pond to provide water for livestock. The pumphouse is essentially a 2' x 2' x 2' "building" of wood, insulated, with a 60W lightbulb to keep the pump from freezing up in cold weather.
How can the government argue that the porn site and/or terms searched for in Google would not be blocked by an appropriate filtering package on a machine? Just because an adult (presumably) searched for and found the midget pr0n they were looking for does not mean a kid at the library or at their house with a blocker program of some sort would be able to access that same site.
My and my wife's licenses from Missouri have no barcodes, but do have magstrips. My magstrip doesn't work due to an unfortunate encounter with a rare-earth magnet.
Additionally, what "ID Number" will be required on the license? I don't have my SSN as Missouri and many other states let you opt out of this for privacy (and now ID theft) reasons. Will the federal government make it easier for crooks to get this information by requiring it to be present on all IDs?
Finally, the machine readable technology is set by DHS and can change at their whim. Just because you have a DL with magstrip and barcode doesn't mean they can't make your state issue a new DL with RFID. Still complacent?
FA says that Microsoft may charge in the future for a product that they just bought and have yet to roll out. Everyone posts typical Microsoft slam responses, without fully comprehending the article.
How can you say Michael Badnarik is not serious about running for president? The man spent 25K miles in a Kia while campaigning for the LP nomination. He's worked on four, five, six hours of sleep after receiving the nomination. I've heard him speak several times, and the man has passion and ideas. Shame on you for denigrating his contributions to the political "contest".
So you feel that being arrested trying to serve papers on the CPD far outweighs any platform issues that you might prefer over Bush's/Kerry's? So you're OK with the PATRIOT Act? The War on (Some) Drugs? The war in Iraq? Because if you aren't, why are you voting for Bush or Kerry?
People argue that third parties shouldn't run for president, but I say it gets them more exposure than running the "smaller" races, which they already have candidates slotted for. We're running a full slate of statewide candidates in Missouri, for instance. In Texas, Michael Badnarik's home state, the LP has candidates in all Congressional districts except for Ron Paul's, who ran as the LP presidential candidate back 92 or 96 I believe.
I don't know about missile bases per se, but I have seen conservative propaganda saying that Clinton handed over the Panama Canal to the "ChiComs" since there is a Chinese company in charge of the canal operations. Whether that's true, I don't know. I somehow got on a conservative whackjob mailing list and occasioanlly get some real doozies in the mail that make it to the recycling bin pretty quick.
So, why were you planning on voting for Badnarik previously? Just because he was different, or because he stood opposed to Bush's and Kerry's platforms? If the latter, is Badnarik's arrest really enough to sway your mind? If so, I guess you obviously can't vote for Bush because he called Kerry Senator Kennedy during the debate once. You obviously can't vote for Kerry because Bush thinks he's a flip-flopper. That's about the same amount of reasoning as not voting for Badnarik because he was arrested trying to serve an order on the CPD.

Of course, the Flames were from Atlanta before they were from Calgary. Not sure they burn much oil down there.

I'm not a big Rand fan although I am a Libertarian, but why is it hypocritical for her to use the services her tax dollars paid for?

You forget that Libertarians believe your body is your most important property and have inherent rights because of that.

Also, if you haven't noticed, the Slashdot poll shows once and for all where Slashdot readers fall on the election.
Not if you don't include the third-party candidates who have a mathematical chance of winning the electoral vote. How hard would that have been?
I'm not saying Badnarik is in their league, but would you not cast your vote for Ghandi? Martin Luther King, Jr.? The "founding fathers"?
Please, there is quite a bit of difference between a pedophile and a trespasser. Insert rolling eyes icon here.
