The LVRJ has just de facto said that:
It opposes abortions even in the case of rape or incest
The Department of Education is unconstitutional
The United States should withdraw from the United Nations
A flat tax should replace the income tax
A free-market alternative should be established to cut social security
Not to politicize this discussion but she is a right wing freak.
We are a NS customer. We had an offsite machine with one of our email addresses get infected and started to send out spam. Within a few minutes, they shut down our entire email service. It crippled our business, then it happened again a few times before we found out what the problem was. We were hopping mad at NS until we found out it was our error.
True, the whole island sits on a column of molten lava that leads right down to the magma chamber. Every other year or so the place just erupts somewhere, like it did in April.
Just got back from Iceland, the whole country is powered by geothermal wells. In fact, the main power plant has a pipe feed of hot water to supply Rejykavik, and when you take a shower there you smell like rotten eggs.
The government is paying farmers to make a product that is killing the populace. And they are borrowing the money from China to do it. What's wrong with THIS picture?
We spent over a million dollars defending ourselves against a patent whose claims were so ridiculous we didn't even take it seriously. The problem was the patent troll got the patents through, then signed up 15 companies who were only peripherally involved with our space. With the 15 contracts in hand the troll came after us and another major player in our space. Total spent on prosecution and defense was over $7M, and all the claims were ultimately found to be obvious or prior art at a jury trial.
The problem is there is no interim step between a troll's stupid patent and a multi-million dollar lawsuit. There should be some way that an independent technical panel can evaluate the validity of a patent before huge sums are spent on legal fees. Wait, I just answered my own question.

—Usage note Since the early 20th century, literally has been widely used as an intensifier meaning “in effect, virtually,” a sense that contradicts the earlier meaning “actually, without exaggeration”: The senator was literally buried alive in the Iowa primaries. The parties were literally trading horses in an effort to reach a compromise. The use is often criticized; nevertheless, it appears in all but the most carefully edited writing. Although this use of literally irritates some, it probably neither distorts nor enhances the intended meaning of the sentences in which it occurs. The same might often be said of the use of literally in its earlier sense “actually”: The garrison was literally wiped out: no one survived.

...welcome our new diminutive overlords.
While we're at it, why don't we let Doctors intern on WebMD?
Of course many inventions do after they're invented...
"...quite offensive"? Dude, man up. Seriously.
Or is an Apple fanboy. God forbid we say anything negative against the mighty Jobs or any of His followers.
Also, they modded down parent. It was at 4 before. They probably tried to tag "troll" on parent but there were already too many "insightfuls."
New scientific term
Mod parent up. They're just trying to peddle warranties. Surprised nobody followed the money on this submission.
That's why general deployment will not happen in the U.S. Europe, Asia, even South America are much less tort-happy than here.
He just wants to be able to set this status and not get arrested.
