They want to know how to follow through. You've certainly missed the point.
Ban robo-calls. Sure, that's easy to say in principle, but in practice it's just unenforceable. How do you detect whether a human has dialed the phone or a computer? What's wrong with me having a redial button on my phone? What's wrong with having a computer dial the number for a legit call center to avoid human error?
It's only as ludicrous as it is for email. Email is exactly the same way and people are satisfied with this setup, as there's no better alternative. SPF records in DNS are not a requirement of email, but they haven't solved the problem either.
No. "Valid" CID is any phone number I own on any account. I want my VoIP service set up to use my Google Voice number for outgoing calls. That should be allowed under the rules, and currently is. Google Voice spoofs the caller ID when someone calls your GV number and forwards the call, and that's how the caller's number shows up on your phone.
They can't hide their identity from the carrier connecting the call. The carrier has to open a connection both ways. I realize that this doesn't mean you've traced a call to its origin, but you would at least have the ANI information at the carrier side. You can't block that like you can block caller ID because it's used for actually billing the call.
What we need is to have a way to block calls to sequential numbers, and have carriers share information about callers. If the caller is spoofing different phone numbers with every call, it's likely they're robodialing. Especially if they're spoofing other numbers that are on their call list.
Based on what I've seen, they are. My experience was being stopped in 4-lane traffic, and an ambulance speeding by at 40 miles per hour BETWEEN the lanes!!
Modern air bags deploy so fast its already halfway inflated by the time the locking mechanism in your seat belt kicks in. All the seat belt does is give your head time to snap forward and nail the airbag while its near the end of its inflation and travelling at some ridiculous speeds that are the peak of its inflation speed. Hello whiplash and neck problems for the rest of your life as a best case, hello lifetime paralysis or death as worst cases. The seat belt didn't save you, the air bag did.
As someone who's been punched in the face by an airbag, I'll say that the best case is friction burns on the face and neck as that's all I suffered. I tend not to tense up my muscles suddenly so I'm not very prone to whiplash, and my neck suffered nothing at all other than a little stiffness for a few weeks. I'll admit I was the only one with injuries when hitting a large deer head-on. Everyone else's injuries were prevented by seatbelts.
Which is actually above the poverty threshold, if that gives any idea how out of balance things are. For those who make enough to not qualify for any special programs and is on such a plan, you're losing an entire "living income" out of your paycheck.
Right, on the smartphones, the cursor when selecting is often just a vertical bar (Identical to I in Arial) and not even the I-beam shape which is slightly distinguished from the I, especially a non-serif I. When selecting on a smartphone you can't tell whether the cursor is before or after that initial I without a careful look.
My sentences were strung together poorly. But the fact that there is such a thing as an atheist conference describes more or less the idea that I'm getting at.
Believing that either candidate is outright dumb really just shows how effective attack ads and slanted news reporting are. If you believe the news, then fumbling your words in a high-pressure speech or situation where anyone would be nervous makes you stupid...unless you're Obama.
It's the same in effect, but it's not the same idea. I wish they'd switch back to using the word "Follow." I'm tired of companies making me "Like" them for a free sample of a product I've never tried before. Hmm...how can I LIKE it and be requesting a sample at the same time?
The worst fucking thing ever to happen to PCs - and I really mean this, the worst thing to ever happen has been the netbook and now the garbage ultrabook cretinous stupidity. These are all either horribly hobbled, or massively over priced piles of steaming garbage.
Not quite true. Microsoft trying to support them is one of the reasons for Windows 7 and Windows 8 being so much faster. There's only one way to increase performance on such low-spec machines, and that's to optimize.
You're right, we should just hardcode every program and file into a specific spot of RAM, so you can ditch pointers and just use hardcoded memory addresses. Want to buy a new program? You need it custom-programmed to use the next available addresses on YOUR computer. Need to add a page to your Word document? Sorry, you only allocated 500K of address space for document contents. And if you want to install more than a few large programs, you'll need many dozens of gigabytes of RAM.
How on earth are you going to get by without pointers?
Regardless of what you believe (or don't), it seems to be human nature - evolutionary or by design - to have a religion. And for those that don't believe in a Creator, the lack thereof often becomes a religion. Dawkins has become some sort of atheist pope. Lots of ritual and tradition for nothing in the religion of atheism. It's actually worse than believing in a God that may or may not exist, because then at least your rules and rituals might actually mean something.
I'm not an atheist, but I've always found this interesting.
So pagers only get one shot to receive a page? And they broadcast over all transmitters in the country at once? Doesn't sound very reliable without an acknowledgement. I admit I don't know how they operate.
makes it illegal for children under the age of 13 to have logins on internet services...
without a parent's written permission. Which, because it's such a headache makes it effectively illegal only because the cost of the paperwork outweighs the potential profit per eyeball.
Depends on if it's worded as to disallow Internet over wifi or just wifi altogether. Just presenting the login screen to a minor would be illegal under the latter wording.

He has the abuse of something called an Executive Order.

Using PHP syntax:
Like == Follow
Like !== Follow

Sure, if you like replacing your headlights 1-2 times a year. That makes them even more expensive by comparison.

Even a pager can be tracked via tower triangulation (not 911 GPS). But most of them aren't 3G, so this won't apply.
Which would be why they gave it a name of 1794 (anagram of 1947).
You don't need manual transmission for that. Push the pedal to the floor in an automatic and it will drop to a low gear to accelerate.
If generations showed more variation than one lifetime, then it was because of genetics.
Seconded.
