Actually not, considering the alternative "plan" presented by the opposition is to "restore" 760 billion of waste and overpayment to the system, one might buy such stock if Romney wins, because then those companies will be looking for somewhere to put all that waste and overpayment, being on the receiving end of it, which could mean dividends.

USB serial dongles make horrible debug ports when trying to debug, for example, udev problems, or capture early messages from the kernel (the USB system takes a very long time to come up, and though you can cache debug message these days, there's no guarantee the kernel will make it all the way to the point of spitting them out before it abends.) The whole reason serial debug ports are effective is because you turn them on at kernel boot and they just sit there running at the kernel level. If you have to plug it in and hope that it gets properly initialized after the fact, you are only going to succeed with that part of the time. If you further need materials from userspace to initialize your console, the odds decrease substantially.
With rs232 ports disappearing from laptops, that basically leaves good old vgacon/fbcon as the most reliable way to deal with early boot problems. Which means it will pretty much always have to be compiled into the kernel when you have video hardware, unless you are an end user who wouldn't know what oriface to put a debug log into in the first place.
However, a long term transient in the cause of the phenomena would indeed effect carbon dating -- and given the sun is the suspected source of this cause, a long term transient is very probable. Then the question is, by any significant amount? I'd assume this is a pretty tiny variation or it would have been rather evident to those first examining decay rates, so likely the effect would be pretty insignificant.
The Laffer curve does not apply equally across all tax brackets. Cuts to middle-class tax rates provide more economic stimulus than cuts to the tax rates of those who already have more money than they can spend and just shove them into paper fortresses.
Being that Ryan proposed Social Security privatization before, I think we all know where he's coming from: just another person who shouldn't be in government because he thinks government sucks on principle, and is just fine with turning our retirement insurance program into another line of casino credit for Wall Street.
It will lead to utopia, just not for people like you or me.
It won't even do that, since it would never be successful. It would collapse under its own weight, being as it is, reliant entirely on discounting the value of whatever is considered "grunt work" by the supposed "atlases". If you throw all your inexperienced and/or undervalued labor out, then all you are left with is a bunch of professionals arguing with each other about who really has more important things to do than clean that toilet.
Really, I would think a person's history of traffic incidents would take a back seat to, oh I dunno, expecting to be elected president while giving voters about as much information as the guy who announces layoffs gives the employees: next to nothing. Or things like a history of dishonesty, chicanery, and a seemingly complete absence of empathy or sense of public responsibility beyond the letter of the law.
These days, that is less pertinant: before a bill actually comes up for a majority vote, it usually needs to get past the 60 vote closure/filibuster process, on which there is no such thing as a "tie" for the VP to break. With the minority party dragging its feet so consistently, there are none of the "straight up or down votes" anymore.
Simpler solution: do not utilize security questions. They serve no real useful purpose. If someone forgets their password and you need to ID them, ID them in a way that does not use the same squishy grey matter that forgot the password in the first place.
I see three things that can drive new languages into the forefront, and none of them are Universities, which are always behind the curve or off center entirely (I still remember my courses taught in ADA. Ugh.)
These three things are:
1) A robust implementation that offers ease of use for features that have historically been tricky to use, e.g. real-time, concurrency. 2) A language home-grown in a particular ethnic region, such that the user base primarily speaks the local non-english language and educational materials are honed to local learning styles, which then spreads outside that region in enough products to become popular, e.g. Lua. 3) Being lucky enough to be the language that a long-standing "killer app" is written in, deriving popularity from the popularity of hacking on the app.
Political party membership as well as political donations are public record in the U.S. Mostly because we are supposed to be free to speak as we see fit, without fear. The "drudge lists" are not so much sold as the clerks tend to limit their distribution to legitimate political concerns. For example, anyone running a petition drive can get them, usually in digital format, so they can self-validate signatures -- there is a nominal fee, but it is pocket change, not a revenue generator for the clerks offices. It's part of the social contract of living in a free country -- you are free to speak and organize, just not necessarily anonymously, and in fact it is considered a civic duty to do so, as part of the self government process. The laws that protect you from harassment and retaliation for your political views are intended to offset the drawbacks of these disclosure rules.
It is from the perspective of persons other than yourself, and from the perspective of that portion of your psyche that cares about legacy. The grant is funding research into many aspects and definitions of the term, both from the subjective and from the objective perspectives.
Quite wrong. Study of revival from neural tropic signals after reoxygenation after oxygen deprivation is a leading vector in the quest for suspended animation, and progress in this area is already used in some heart surgery procedures.
Yes, we all know that studying such things as sociology and insanity is a complete waste of money. After all, who needs culturally informed public/foreign policy, anger management counseling, and antipsychotic medications, for examples.
Eventually we will get to the point where, instead of neural implants for fixing sensory or motor systems, we'll hook up some artificial neural nets, possibly even with a qbit or several in there. We will likely find that thinking through such a device is a different experience entirely, and will give us an insight into how to wire up such devices to support conscious thought. At that point, the subject of consciousness and AI do indeed intersect.
I share your views on the hard science approach, but not your disdain for these professions. While our scientists are laboring for decades or more in labs trying to get a handle on such fundamentals, we cannot, obviously, just allow the current ideological mess to devolve as it seems want to. As TFA points out, there is ample evidence that people have a need to ponder these questions, and "wait 30 years for the guy in the labcoat to emerge from his cave" isn't going to satisfy them. Studying the impact of theologies and philosphies on the behaviors that people engage in while attempting to scratch this intellectual itch is a worthy endeavor, and doubly so is predicting the societal impact of the encroaching availability of greatly extended lifespans, and that of the availability of lifelike interactive facsimiles of deceased individuals.

Also Coldfire, and a bunch of those MIPS spinoffs, IIRC.
It's Obamacare that specified 700B of cuts to Medicare in the baseline budget.
And, it's Ryan who proposed the exact same cuts.
FTFY
The Laffer curve does not apply equally across all tax brackets. Cuts to middle-class tax rates provide more economic stimulus than cuts to the tax rates of those who already have more money than they can spend and just shove them into paper fortresses.
government revenues are not a linear function of tax rates (sometimes they are inversely related!)
This is completely irrelevant when that "sometimes" is definitely "not now". We are quite some distance away from that point on the Laffer curve.

#0: local elections.
But seriously, if the vote were as meaningless as you dropouts like to make it out, why is so much energy being spent to deprive people of it?

That's not white paint, it's reams of 8.5x14 paper layed end-to end.

On the other hand, if the "immortal" people were fully functional, we'd have the benefit of 300 year old scientists to throw at the resource problems.
