Yes, individuals that were members of a mixed-race marriage performed in another state were jailed. The state did this because it could. Do you really think that if the state thought it could jail LGBT members married in another state it wouldn't? Many states never formally repelled sodomy laws what makes you think this would be any different.
My point is the arguments presented buy opponents of LGBT marriages and mixed-race marriages are basically religious or I just don't like it.
Positive and negative rights are again are an attempt to say if you prevent me from discriminating against someone I don't like you are taking away one of my rights, Guess what, in your private life have at it BUT when dealing with other members of society, either as a businessman, government, or citizen trying to deny someone else the capability to do something based on how they were born, you have no right to do that in the Unites States of America. Denying marriage because you feel it is wrong for a specific individual to marry negatively impacts them much more than it does you. Many, many laws and judicial decisions in this country grant rights based on marriage status. Eliminate those and we can talk about the rest.
if you think the government should stay out of marriage completely and that expanding the definition is going in the wrong direction you're 'homophobic',.
Would you prefer the more generic term of "BIGOT"? Because many of the individuals arguing against extending marriage equality to the LGBT community are using the same arguments that "BIGOTs" used to argue against mixed race marriages.
Go ahead choose your descriptor of choice and I will gladly use it.
You would only be in prison if you had signed a document that says you agree to these requirements to receive a security clearance.
It is not illegal for a general citizen of the US to possess or read a document the US Government has deemed top secret. If it was it would be illegal for the majority of US citizens to read the information on parts of Wikileaks. See the Pentagon Papers case if you don't believe me.
Granted Hillary signed the document and you might find yourself a victim of illegal rendition BUT the point stands if you have never signed the documents required to get a security clearance it is not illegal for you to possess or read a TS marked document.
I certainly wasn't trying to actually spec out any kind of an HT. Those are numbers for some common pieces that illustrate contrary to al0ha's opinion HT is within reach of anyone.
65" OLED screen is fine for a 2-4 person room but for a 10 person HT it won't cut it.
Audio could run you 50K or more if you want to go with the "good" stuff.
$500 bucks for one of the 2 or 3 available UHD BlueRay players is about right.
DYI costs vary immensely and yeah 50K for the room and prep after buying electronics isn't uncommon.
I personally do not have an HT room as my tastes run to fast cars but a couple of buddies are always dropping cash on this or that upgrade for theirs.
I was using low to mid-range budget numbers just for parts, not including installation and calibration costs. Dedicating space in a home is another thing people don't think about.
Most people have no idea how much it costs to actually build a true HT. If I had said 50K-100K slashdotters would think is was nuts.
That 65" screen with a soundbar is plenty adequate for most people to watch on. It is for me, especially sports but don't go thinking you have a Home Theater.
I think not, a decent Home Theater Room will still set you back 20-40K and require you dedicate space in your home to said HT. Even at $12 a pop 20K will pay for a hell of a lot of movie tickets,
4K Projector 10K Good 120" screen 1K HT receiver ATMOS Capable 2K Speaker System 3K Subwoofer 1K Installation costs 5-10K
Those are mid-range HT parts. It goes up from there. And damn the 2yr old HT receiver doesn't support HDR pass-through, now you need a new receiver.
A 65" screen with a soundbar does not equal a Home Theater.
You have the concept but the timing is off. ESPN was not owned by Disney/ABC when it originally was added to basic service.
What happened is despite what Slashdot readers thing sports is very, very popular in the US. When cable first started growing in the early 80's a lot of households were getting because they wanted to watch ESPN. ESPN leveraged this by insisting that ESPN be included in every basic package and that ESPN got revenue for every subscriber. Joe Six-Pack didn't care he wanted his ESPN. Later ESPN leveraged their popularity be creating ESPN2 and saying if you don't add ESPN2 to the basic package and give us a bigger slice then NO ESPN for you. Joe Six-Pack would have none of that so ESPN got bigger. Now comes along Disney/ABC and they just grow the leverage by saying if you want ESPN then Disney Channel has to part of the Basic package. Etc. Etc. Etc.
What part is business co-opting the power of government?
I live in a rural environment that only a single corporation has chosen to provide these services to us, if anything it is the small government ceding governmental functions to corporation. Water and Sewer is provided by a public corporation that charges what it wants because the price of entry for a competitor would be astronomical, think of the cost of building a new sewage treatment plant and laying the piping to connect to a different corporate owned sewer infrastructure.
There is no legal barrier to a competitor, just financial. Same goes for the power company no legal barriers to a competitor BUT legal barriers do exist for producing my own power and yes that is somewhat co-opting the power of government.
Rural El Paso County Colorado has some of the staunchest small government advocates in the country. Research TABOR (Tax Payer Bill or Rights), first enacted here in El Paso County.
Sure nice offer, we are the corporation that provides water and sewer to your subdivision, pay us the money or you don't get water and sewer and oh by the way we own all the water rights around here so you can't have your own well.
You can buy your electricity from us or nobody, and we will work with the local government to make it impossible for you to have your own solar or wind installation to provide your own power.
Rumors maybe, but anyone that paid attention to history knew that the capabilities being developed would be used this way.
See FBI monitoring of MLK in the sixties See CIA monitoring of domestic anti-War groups in the seventies See the Church Committee and read some of their findings.
True, a relationship with any specific corporation is usually voluntary BUT unless I can do without electricity, food, water, etc I must deal with some corporations.
The fact that I have to breathe the air and drink the water that said corporations believes they have a license to pollute I am dealing with said corporation.
Please explain your issues with the supposed "Uranium Deal"
I have yet to see anyone that raises the "Uranium Deal" understand that the Uranium in question is in the ground, in a mine, in Canada. Even with Russian ownership of said mine any processed ore will need additional approvals before the ore can be shipped out of Canada. Canadian and US approvals.
The US State Department, under the leadership of Hillary Clinton, was tasked to review whether the proposed purchase of a CANADIAN mine that produces raw uranium violated any laws or rules against foreign ownership. The Canadian State Department equivalent had already approved the deal, were they bought off too?
Again, to ship any processed Uranium ore from the mine additional approvals would be needed from both the Canadian and US Governments. FYI Russia has plenty of Uranium mines capable of producing enough Uranium to satisfy their requirements.
Yeah, I know explaining anything to an Anonymous Coward Troll is a waste of time.
The Parcel portion of the USPS business historically subsidized the first-class letter part of the business. By law the USPS has to provide first-class letter service (important point). When the law was changed to allow companies to compete with the USPS the competitors (UPS) skimmed off the profitable Parcel portion of the business and left the money-losing first-class letter delivery to the USPS.
That is the chief reason, among many, that the USPS is not a profitable business.
So today the US refused to accept Syrian refugees but want to think that all those countries so recently devastated by the Great Depression would just throw open the doors to millions of refuge Jews? Damn boy that is some logic you got going there.
Yep, the current Israeli regime has committed its own atrocities that they try to cover up. You won't see me denying or defending it. BUT that in NO way, shape, or form means the extermination of ~6M European Jews did not happen.
Wrong . 3M+ well documented executions at the listed sites.
Add millions more that were less well documented ~100,000 killed in the Warsaw Ghetto that did not make it to Treblinka ~200,000 Lithuanian Jews ETC. ETC. ETC.
Hence I said probably, the older finds are in dispute among anthropologists. They may be validated at some point but the point that the original migrants didn't displace groups already on the land stands. The Americas were at one point, less than 100,000 years ago, human-free with plenty of space to occupy without pushing out an already established population. The Europeans tended to take what they wanted because "might makes right" and since the local inhabitants already had prior claim to the best spots well "you do what you gotta do"/sarcasm.
The sign now says ~1M were exterminated AT Auschwitz. Another 800K at Treblinka Another 600K at Belzek Another 300K at Chelmno Another 250K at Sobibor
That is 3M just at the locations built specifically to exterminate as many Jews as possible. Now add in those that were killed at places like Warsaw and concentrations camps not specifically built to exterminate Jews and the numbers add up pretty damn quick. Don't forget to add in camps like Jadovno that were run by the Croatian government that exterminated from 100,000-300,000, the Croatians didn't keep as good a records as the Germans.
Time to stop hanging your had on the single "fact" that a sign was changed from 6M total to 1M at this site. But then you don't care because denial is your way of life.
Those original immigrants, probably the Clovis people, didn't displace people already on the land and force them to move or die. The Europeans that showed up after 1500 pretty much made it a way of life to exterminate or displace those that were there before them.
NOPE and NOPE. This dodge is what the company that makes the "Stingray" tries. Put it into the contract that a police department cannot reveal that they use the "Stingray". Then when the judge/defending attorneys ask about methods the Police state they are contractually bound not to reveal them.
The general method can be discussed without revealing details. AKA we purchased hacking tool "X" to perform the mission, details are contractually limited. Then the judge can make a ruling as to the validity of said contract limiting discussion.

Not much science but using a video game to screen for hidden talents was pretty good. Plus Robert Preston was great as the alien.

3K isn't going to give you much at all and 5-10K is modifying an existing room with speakers in the ceiling, adding sound deadening and lighting.

Hey at least they give the score of baseball games, hockey fans don't even get that. But we do get Barry fricking Melrose every year at playoff time.
MLB.TV $150 per year streaming
NHL.TV $130 per year streaming
NFL.TV Not a thing, they would rather have a deal with DirecTV
The issue is both MLB and NHL have local blackouts because of Regional Sports Networks and they blackout National games.
MLB.TV seems to be making some serious cash for MLB. They didn't sell the rights, just created a new on-line product. NHL.TV is also a thing.
