LOL I'm not even an American and I do know the history, and if it continues over the last 30 years, please point out where in the Reagan administration and later, Republicans have fought racism while Democrats have supported it. I'm all ears, eager to learn about what I've been unable to find so far.
Because US politics can effect the politics of most of the world's other countries. Some idiotic governments even pointlessly copy whatever the US government does, like some kind of cargo cult mentality...
Yep fins are bad for speed and agility if anything. They can also help to stabilize cars and make them handle better, but that's not an issue on anything you'd drive on the street...
If the first thing you hear as a modern car approaches is its engine, then there's something wrong with that car.
True. It's still a safety issue but one that also exists with ICE cars. I often have to beep to let pedestrians know I'm there while driving a sports compact with noisy high-performance tires and metallic brake pads. It's an older car and it might seem noisy at high revs while you're driving it, but from track-side videos I've seen you can't hear the engine at all unless the exhaust is pointed at the camera. In one video I was screaming towards the camera at high revs, and all you could hear was a quiet whine like an idling turbine in the distance (and it's not boosted).
I'm happy with keeping it quiet, keeps the police attention low on the street...
EVs charging on coal power are still cleaner than gasoline cars. And at that point the car is power-source-agnostic, which means the US could potentially get their heads out of their asses and run on a combination of nuclear, solar and wind with no changes required to cars.
Yeah if the Republicans can get a half-decent, relatively sane candidate, Obama's chances will be slim. His only chance is if Perry continues to make himself look like a politician straight out of Escape from LA or the Starship Troopers movie, or Bachmann/Palin/Romney become the front-runner somehow. Liberals aren't going to be fooled by Obama's sweet, sweet meaningless words a second time and would be likely to abstain, and any centrist Democrats who are happy with him would have no problem voting for a Republican just the same.
Average Joes won't know or care about this, or even understand the implications if they did. Facebook won't harm themselves by stirring up our impotent nerd rage.

Careful. Many of the more hardcore wackjob denialists think that anyone who wants to reduce carbon emissions is a crypto-communist-revolutionary (they call them "watermelons" - "green on the outside, red on the inside") who wants to commit genocide against the denialists as part of their plan to create a socialist one-world-government. Don't give them any ammo.
Yes, lighter, '70s cars were heavy but look at mid '80s-early '90s cars, that actually had to deal with tighter safety and emissions regulations. We could build them that light again.
The net is easy to censor. Just be a government or powerful megacorporation, call up an ISP and tell them to do what you want or you'll make life miserable - that's assuming the ISP itself isn't willingly doing the censoring.
Now, darknets maintained by uber-geeks running on top of the net, are hard (or impossible) to censor.
Furthermore anyone who thinks that passengers have much say in surviving an airplane crash deserves to be scammed by this. If the plane hits the ground at a steep angle or at a speed significantly higher than the recommended landing speed, you're dead, end of story.
In the unlikely event that the plane comes to a stop in one piece then there are things you can do to improve your chances of survival, which you can read about for free. About half the tips that could help you are in that little safety booklet you're supposed to read.

That's what I thought as well...I know at least some of them use RFID.

Maybe they can start growing rice or some kind of seaweed, or put up a chicken-wire fence and call it a fish farm!

You got on the plane without being groped or nudie-scanned?
Yes but that was then and this is now. For the last 30 years or so the history has been different.

Insightful. Politics being a racket is the norm throughout history, with a few short-lived, localized instances of not being so much of a racket.

More importantly, the parties switched positions on the issue. Funny how this list ends before getting to all the racist shit Reagan did.
I don't think you get what the parent was talking about:

The second to last case is what happens when the DHS/ICE takes a site down IIRC.
Here's some stuff I turned up real quick with Google:

Don't the root servers get their records changed when the DHS/ICE takes a site down, like rojadirecta or whatever it was?
