Your mama's ugly. I hope you have to look at her for the next several decades.
The activism is because the Republicans couldn't scuttle the law in Congress after an entire year of trying, so now they have to go use the hated courts and get a judge to legislate.
I'm not a fan of the healthcare law as it eventually got shat out, but don't think that I won't revel in Yet Another Example of conservative hypocrisy.
It's the hypocrisy of our so-called conservatives howling about judicial activism, then turning around and demanding that a judge be activist and stop something.
The same people who are all for personal freedom (for people just like themselves), except for whom you can fuck.
Consider that when Obama wanted to do a televised speech to schoolkids nationwide, the conservatards all PANICKED because the scary cryptoliberal black man was going to brainwash their kids.
The way I heard it, the early M-16s were supplied with ammo that used powder left over from the US Navy's WWII stockpile, which was formulated to work well in battleship and cruiser guns, but didn't burn cleanly enough to work in small arms.
That depends. The biggest legitimate need for mainframes is when you've got gobs of I/O happening, which could easily be the case for the Main Corporate Database.
Because the powers that be don't want armed civilian ships in their ports, that's why. Besides, escorts can deal with pirates before they get within boarding range of your merchies.
A gunboat would be too short-ranged for convoy escort duty, and not great at dealing with storms. Corvettes are little hells when in a storm as well (as the RN learned during the Battle of the Atlantic), but they've got range and armament, if not speed. A full-on gun destroyer adds the ability to bombard shore installations & maybe land a party of Marines.
In re the pirates, I don't understand why the powers that be aren't mandating a convoy system in that part of the world, escorted by warships.
For that matter, it seems to me (an enthusiastic layman) that an ideal anti-piracy vessel these days would look a lot like a Gearing-class destroyer, circa late World War II. Quick-firing 5"/38 main armament, some 40mm and/or 20mm guns for close-in work, modern surface-search radar, ditch the torpedoes and anti-submarine armament. They've got a ton of range and they're fast.
Failing that, something like a Butler-class destroyer escort or Castle-class corvette would do. Smaller armament, not as fast, but cheaper.
You've been able to get ~$30 junk cards from Creative for/years/. Used to be stuff like the SB16 PCI, now it's that old Audigy.
You'd get better results from the cheaper Asus card mentioned in TFA, and the price is the same. Drivers are, as usual, provided by Asus and are occasionally updated - I'm running a Xonar DX and have been mostly pleased with it; the only thing I can honestly complain about is that Fallout 3 crashes more often when I've got the EAX 5.0 emulation enabled.

I was deliberately ignoring the rest and intent on educating you as to why "people continue to trot out this old trope."
Learn.

No? Oh, right. JA is defined as a judge doing what I don't like, i.e. being liberal.
Ironbottom Sound would be problematic because those ships were sunk in battle, hence may be considered war graves and thus untouchable.
The German fleet at Scapa Flow were scuttled by their crews after the First World War ended, and Scapa is shallower besides.

I noticed the same slowness problems with the previous netbook interface.
How is that /not/ a violation of the separation of church and state?
...it's a duck?
Isn't that what you do every Friday?
Because of course it makes more sense to forbid that than it does to stop minting the damned things already.
Then they turned around and spent money /redesigning/ the penny. Where do they find these people?

Don't know how true that story was.
The red ring of death is a 360-degree circle.
The idea being that it thereby gets the bacteria off your skin along with the other gunk that's there.
This is why you're required to wash your hands with soap rather than just using hand sanitizer when you visit a hospital's intensive care unit.

"They" could require ships fly the flag of the country where the owning corp's home office is based.
The current system of flags-of-convenience is inane.
PROTIP: Be sure you're getting it right when you're being pedantic.
You're thinking of "discreet".

That's be Jupiter. Except the Sun is a satellite of the galaxy's core, and there are whole dwarf galaxies orbiting ours...
Don't be pedantic, lest someone else out-pedant you.
If only they'd learned from the negative examples provided by Europe and the USA's journeys through the Industrial Revolution.
Money talks and bullshit walks.
Please. McCain wouldn't have gotten it. It's for not being a cowboy Republican.
Objection, m'lud! What use has a little girl for a Fleshlight? The OP didn't specify gender, after all.
If you spontaneously wanted to get on a plane and go to California that afternoon, then your lack of planning is not someone else's emergency.
I don't like the TSA at all, but that is a weak argument.
