These aholes should just compromise. Raise taxes and cut spending. Do both.
Um, that WAS the democrats' position. They would not agree to cuts (cuts they agreed needed to be made) unless tax increases on the wealthy went with them.
When Apple, Amazon, and Google pry the distribution away from the labels, how much longer will those labels be able to control production?
If the report on Sideline is to be believed, the majors are also going to discontinue CD production at the end of 2012, leaving digital distribution as the only real way of selling music. If they haven't fostered some serious competition to iTunes by then, they'll be handing their ass to Apple.
I think their hatred of used CD sales has blinded them to that fact..
Hold contractors accountable for once and this crap will stop happening. As it is, the contractors have no incentive to self-police.
Indeed. I might go farther. Since this practice in fact endangers the lives of military personnel, and could be looked at as treason, make the penalty death for knowingly doing this in combat mission critical components.
In other words, more people will die from exposure to the scanners than would have died from the supposed terrorist attacks they 'protect' us from. And why? Money of course, that is what runs this country (into the ground).
Sure, but if we didn't have scanners and it was fairly trivial to get through security, they number would skyrocket.
So your contention is that current U.S. airport security is effectively stopping significant numbers of terrorist activities?

Plus their conclusion is so obviously wrong. This is plainly destined for the new macbook air mini.
It's like their strategies ar evolving!
The number of rich who don't immunize is probably a vanishingly small percentage of the total who don't. So the plan still has the desired effect.
Actually, it would be best if the things ICANN handles would be moved under a neutral party that was absolutely nothing like the U.N.
Jesus really?

Well said.

imagine a Beowulf cluster of these . . .
How is the degree to which the penalty discourages the behavior not relevant?
Your claim of its irrelevance is wrong.
Plus the pigs it kills.

Yup. Look at it fall:

Compare that to my iPod touch and the iPad where I just get a big lego piece.
Really? I am going to have to start surfing more flash sites on my wife's ipad and beef up my lego collection.
When Win8 comes out, if Asus sells one of these running that OS, it would be a pretty tempting machine. Assuming the Metro ecosystem takes off at all.
Is Rhode Island 5X bigger than DC?
Corruptible isn't the same as corrupt. Our government has been less corrupt in the past.
GP was asking for an example of a form of government less susceptible to this problem.
Magnets are also to blame. If anyone knew how they worked, we could regulate them.
Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division
Guilty of something close to response 5, although somewhat less definitive.
I still don't think they'll take that final step though.
Pointing out bias is not the same thing as calling someone a liar. If he works for a major oil company, it is a non-debatable fact that he has a bias.
Yep. He's being a hole alright.
It is. Fortunately for the TSA, the Constitution is no longer in effect.

It doesn't sound too crazy. The Alaska oil pipeline transports 4 cubic meters per second, and that's through a fairly thin and very long pipe.
Dump it on nearby surface ?

There will be hundreds of pounds of honey sitting in there and nobody wants it.
Honey badger wants it. He don't give a shit.
