US jobs rooted in defense contracting? I thought we were better off slashing the defense budget and putting the money directly into foodstamp programs!

A reflection of military strategy, not contribution. To the Soviets a single soldier was expendable. The US has a different approach. You also discount the billions of dollars that the US gave the Soviets to finance military production.
Last election we had for governor had 4 recounts. Three went to the challenger by a 1000-1500 vote margin. The fourth went to the incumbent with a 2000 vote margin after some ballot boxes were "found" in a closet. Recounts were immediatly suspended and the election went to the incumbent. Voter fraud happens.
Whats a high-salary person to do with their money other than set it on fire or spend it? Even if they do spend it on a cruise, guess what... That pays for the crew to go to the grocery store.
There are very few places money can truly be "wasted" other than government programs.

This is so wrong. The majority of those providing care to the terminally ill know it is pointless and don't want to do it, even for the money. Their hand is forced by legal requirements and family members.There are plenty of other things to be done that will make a difference, but they get pushed to the back because they aren't considered "life-saving". Often the effort to extend the terminally ills life another day/week/month is written off and not paid back in full. The profit margin at that point of life is very slim. Even procedures that aren't lifesaving and are becoming more routine have slim margins. For example, there is no (ie, zip, zero, nadda) profit on total knee or hip replacements at the hospital where I work. We have to do them because of legal requirements, but insurance won't pay more than a certain amount. Profit could be maximized much better if the vast quantities of manpower and resources dedicated to saving those already dead were instead allocated to those who will live to pay. As a healthcare worker, it pisses me off to see people ranting about the costs/quality of the US healthcare system without knowing anything about it other than their own pocketbook.
But is that conscious recollection or subconscious understanding? I am also a very fast reader, but often when reading new material I skim through it quickly and later will go back and reference if needed. Those times I do need to reference for more details, I know exactly where it is on the page, but I can't remember exactly what it said. Similarly, I couldn't tell you what I just read, but if you ask a question that was answered in it, I will just *know* the answer without being able to tell you exactly where I read it. Example. Long email that says Sallys birthday party will be at 5pm on Saturday. A while after reading if you asked what it was about all i would be able to tell you was that it was about Sally's bithday, and it would take a moment to remember the exact date/time. However, if you asked when Sally's birthday was without mentioning the email, I could tell you without hesitation. It makes intellectual debates a pain because I remember everything, but can't remember where from so I can't cite a source.
Sorry about the formating. I think the mobile app I'm viewing this through stripped the tags.
First, they would have to find them. If Anonymous is as good as they think they are, then it will be difficult for the cartels to trace them, or to hire someone else good enough to do it for them.

No, no, no. It's more like $5000 for me, and my unemployed neighbor gets a $500 check.

Citation needed. So far many of his "preposterous" claims have come true. Arab Spring ring a bell?

I'm hardly a Romney fan, but the I would still answer unequivocally yes.

Or just by file size first, then do a hash. No need to compute a hash to compare a 1mb file and a 1kb file.
Hence the $50 surcharge if you aren't worthy to have skipped in line.
Unless they are too big to fail.
No kidding. I've gotten 3 emails in the last week telling me to export my data or lose it.

If you upload something to Internet, assume anyone can see it...
Ah, you misspelled Internet.
I've taken the liberty of making the correction on your behalf.
I think that was the correction he was talking about.
Yup. And anyone who runs android can get a rom with CiQ stripped from it.

Peaceful? If you ignore the rapes, riots, and murders are various Occupy settlements around the country.
90 mph is not much higher than highway speeds?
No kidding. I didn't get any email about this. Posting it on the forums is half-assed at best. Still better than Sony's no-ass attempt though.
