... as my ISP. There service is great (I can't remember ever having any downtime or slowdowns with them), and they actually respect their customers. Whenever I see promotions from Comcast or ATT in my mail, I toss them without even looking at their price. Those jerks can't offer a price low enough for me to switch.
Retail clerks are suppose to know what can/cannot be exported and make a determination as to whether or not someone might export it to a country that the said clerk must know is on the 'do not export to' list? Not saying whether or not you are correct, but I'd like to see some kind of source to back that up before I believe something like that.
If they are prefabbing a big chunk of this offsite, are they really building it in '90 days'? By the same logic, I could have a car mostly built offsite, and then bring it all to my garage. Slap on the doors and the trunk, and LOOK, I built a car in 30 minutes! I'm awesome!
...they might be as bad or worse than we've already proved ourselves to be!"
MIGHT be as bad? Have you ever heard of these other countries? Shit, Saudi Arabia is just now, in the year 2012, thinking about maybe letting their women drive cars.
If she knew her boyfriend was driving, there's a case there that she was a party to an act of gross negligence.
And that line of thinking is why our legal system is so fucked up. She didn't text while driving, and she didn't hit the couple. Why the hell is she responsible for making sure someone else isn't doing something stupid and irresponsible?
explain to me the harm they have caused to anyone aside from the inconvenience to walk to court?
Walking to court costs nothing.
Walking to court with a lawyer will cost you $600/hr, for who knows how many hours to prepare for the completely baseless case. Luckily she had a judge that was smart enough to throw the case out quickly. God help her if this was dragged to trial, as the 'inconvenience' could have run into the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
They are assholes for dragging a woman into court that they know is completely innocent. Period.
Should you be surprised when you come back and your wallet is gone? No.
But when I find the guy that took it, I can't take back my wallet because I left it on my dashboard? Or call the cops on the guy that took my wallet? I'm constantly amazed at the shit posts that get modded insightful some days...
If I discovered all 14 of my sites were taken down, while I'm trying to raise money for Special needs, I'd probably respond in a similar angry fashion.
Except this guy didn't ask for ANY sites to be taken down. That was GoDaddy that took them all down. She should be pissed at them for taking such a drastic action.
I'd never do business with a company that would wipe out all my websites over something as trivial as a DMCA notice over one single picture. They could have just blocked the offending photo and left the websites in place while they worked out a deal on the photo.
The next time I see a bunch of Oakland police union leaders screaming about not cutting anymore cops, I'm going to laugh in their face and show them this article.
The fact that ten cops have time to dick around on such a trivial thing indicates they have too many cops already.
It's not whether it's a good deal for the city that is the major issue. The issue is: Why should the businesses already there have to pay their full share, while the 'new guy' gets to slide on his share?
What's the difference between skipping the commercials via DVR or...
...changing the channel, or...
...getting up to get a snack, or...
...getting up to go to the bathroom, or...
...watching the ads that you guys put together nowadays that are funny and entertaining, but forgetting what the ad is actually for because modern advertisers seem to forget to mention the product until the last half second of the ad, or...
1. Voter uses first touchscreen machine to 'fill in' their ballot.
2. Pre-printed paper ballot is fed into first machine, and the correct selections are printed onto ballot.
3. Filled ballot is fed into second, separate scanning machine that has a data link to the first machiine.
4. Machine one and two communicate and verify that everything matches. Paper ballot is dropped into box for later traceability, random checks, etc. If there is a discrepancy, the ballot (and corresponding data) are discarded, and the voter takes a new ballot and tries again.
You have instant confirmation between two separate machines, with paper trail. No more need to blindly trust a single machine.

...helping someone to export goods from the USA to the Iran carries a penalty of up to 20 years in jail.
Selling an item is not the same as exporting it. If I buy an item from Target, and then ship it overseas, did Target really help me export it?
Not in New York City they're not, and that is what the New York Times is talking about.
Are you sure about that?
...Jordan Golson sold about $750,000 worth of computers and gadgets at the Apple Store in Salem, N.H.
Well, I guess I can't blame you, since they hid this way down the article in the first sentence...
Not in New York City they're not, and that is what the New York Times is talking about.
And we all know that New York City is the only place in America that matters. New York is expensive to live in. Why is this news?
...housing of course went through the roof thanks to the subprime mortgage securities...
So, you haven't noticed that the problem of sky-high housing costs have corrected itself?
All Chinamen talk funny therefore all Chinamen dumb?
Here we go. If you dare badmouth any single aspect of another race/country, you MUST be racist!
Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
There is no maybe about it. You are reading too much into it.

...as it can be inflated indefinitely to a point.
Indefinitely... to a point? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
...controlling for John Kerry's vote share
That's not much of a control, considering that John Kerry and Barack Obama ran against two completely different candidates.
...looking outside my apartment I can see the guy taking a shower next door.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest some high tech things like drapes and blinds to solve this problem.
...they might be as bad or worse than we've already proved ourselves to be!"
MIGHT be as bad? Have you ever heard of these other countries? Shit, Saudi Arabia is just now, in the year 2012, thinking about maybe letting their women drive cars.
...proposals from China, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia ...
Yeah, I totally want those guys making suggestions about the internet.....

...demonstrates the "clear goal of violating copyrights..."
Wait, so now not watching something is a violation of copyrights? Before they bitched and moaned when people watched things without permission.
I so confused...
Then they're shitty cops if they are worried about their job more than protecting the public.
