"I would rather we spent the money on useful construction jobs, like repairing our failing bridges (http://blogs.wsj.com/experts/2015/06/04/how-a-decaying-infrastructure-hurts-u-s-manufacturing/)."
What money? The government was not going to spend any money on the pipeline. Only the private sector was. Are you thinking that now the private sector is going to use that money to rebuild bridges?
Good to know! I was under the impression that a catalytic converter removed SOx, but the high temp in it created NOx. I see now that sulfur does get removed, but it destroys the converter in very short order. Thanks for learnin' me a thing or two!
I think you are underestimating the damage NOx does when it reacts away in the air or ocean though. Or your lungs. It becomes extremely acidic in contact with H2O. Anyway, thanks again for the catalytic converter info.
Who cares about how much CO2 a car is emitting? I'm more worried about pollutants, like CO and NOx. And SOx too, but I think the catalytic converter has that puppy whipped.
"The claim is made that anything the least bit "socialist" must fail since everything socialist always fails"
I never saw that claim made. Are you sure you're not making it up? The claim is that the more socialist or communist your country is, the worse off it is. If your country is doing worse, year after year, then it is failing. Look at the bottom of the barrels - Venezuela and NoKorea. The Scandi countries aren't true socialists (e.g. the government doesn't control very much of the economy), but it controls some. I posit that this is the reason they have lower per capita income than Americans and Canadians. And I think Australians.
"Socialism always fails on a country-wide scale? Good thing nobody told that to any Scandinavian countries"
Many European countries are only partly socialist, so they are only partly failing. Luckily, someone DID in fact tell the Scandinavian countries, so they started curtailing their socialism in the mid 90s. It has worked to their financial benefit.
Haven't countries tried this all over the globe ever since Marx put out his manifesto? If you pay the most productive workers the same as the least productive, you always seem to increase the number of 'least productive' workers.
I'm pretty sure that's the reason communism and socialism always fail on a country-wide scale. Maybe it will work here where the group is smaller and can be shamed into working harder - kind of like a commune. We'll know for sure in 5 years, because I'm assuming this is a 5 year plan (heh).
Yes, it exactly is. He is saying, "If you don't give me what I want, I will veto everything and shut down the government." When they say no, he shuts down the government and then shuts down things he doesn't even have to, like parks, just to make Americans suffer.
Windows is up to like 9.x
OSX is in the 10's
Firefox is in the 40s!
Chrome is probably in the hundreds by now. I dunno, I don't use them.
Now, I'm no computer scientist, but I can tell if one number is bigger than another. C'mon you linux slackers - Make more editions. You've got a lot of catching up to do.
In fairness, you should mention that the sea level rises about 3mm a year, and has done so since at least 1650, which I think is when they first started measuring it. It hasn't been a major problem for the last 350 years, so I don't expect it will be a problem for the next 350. After all, we are much more advanced now.
You know what else blocks justice? Whispering to someone. If the cops are trying to listen to your conversation and you whisper it, they can't record it easily. Whispering should be illegal.
A warrant in Chicago is valid anywhere in the US. Why didn't the cops arrest the rapper where he was performing on the East Coast? That would have been an appropriate move. Shutting down a concert because he's in it is not.
Are they still going to be all anti-gg and pro SJW? I'm not going back if they are. I find those people too depressing to be around. Always so so angry about the newest thing to be angry about.
Testing...
Did it work?
Nope. The ENTER key doesn't work, and pasting from notepad doesn't work. Must be something weird with my config. Thanks for the help though.

Good for the players who got booted, I mean. It's easy to waste large portions of your life playing that type of game. Think of the productivity gain they will experience now that they are not playing a grinding game.

So, no need unless there is need?
:).
Heh. You made perfect sense. I just thought the wording was humorous
NASA did it up until ~1969. No other government entity has since though, including current NASA :).

I only own ~3TB of data across all of my devices. I want to meet the guy who has 70TB on OneDrive and shake his hand.

*gasp*
*whisper* You said 'fuck'. Don't worry. I won't tell on you.
Sounds like something the government will mandate soon, and the data will also be sent to your local police department. :(

Actually, they lose their livelihood because one person blocks 535 people from passing laws. He lives in the White House.

I don't think flying peeping Tom's counts as an 'industry'. Still, they say porn made the internet what it is today, so, who knows.

Haha duh. That never even occurred to me.
Thanks so much!

Shouldn't it say "NSA _Plans_ To Hijack Google App Store To Hack Smartphones"? I haven't read anywhere that they cancelled the plan.
If that were true, then we should raise the minimum wage to $1,000/hr. Your concept is not hard to grasp, it's just faulty.
