I do not dispute that marriage bestows rights above an beyond unmarried individuals...
Oh, you dont intend to do that. You intend to just declare that its about equal rights in spite of being forced to admit that it isn't. Equal rights is not a slippery concept. It is an absolute. Either rights are equal for all people are they are not equal rights.
Denying individuals the ability to participate in this institution simply because of sexual preference...
Sexual preference is not and never has been a requirement or limitation of marriage in this country. You seem to be equating sex with marriage, a quite arbitrary definition.
Can I marry my mother? I don't intend to have sex with her. I just wish for her and I to join the special rights club that gays want to so badly be in. Whats that? There is no push to legalize marriage between mother and child? Yeah... because its not about equal rights.
Just how many industries will we allow the content industry to ruin in its death throes before we finally get wiser?
It is not the content industry that is attacking Aereo.. its not even the cable companies.
It is the broadcasters that are attacking Aereo because if Aereo is allowed to do what they are doing, then cable companies (who want to see Aereo win) can go ahead and do exactly what Aereo is doing, so they can avoid paying any redistribution fees to the broadcasters.
Gay marriage is about gaining the SAME right as the rest of the population. Affirmative action is about granting certain racial groups EXTRA rights over the rest of the population.
You clearly dont understand what marriage is. Marriage is not a holy bond, nor do homosexuals want to get married out of a great respect for the institution of marriage. They want to be able to get married because marriage gives them extra rights that unmarried people (the rest of the population) do not have. Note how I used your own terminology and it fits exactly.
The push for gay marriage was never about equality. A push for equality would remove all special rights from the married class or give all the special rights the married class has to the unmarried class. Since gay marriage does neither, it cannot be about equality at all. Its about adding themselves to the special rights group that enjoys 1,138 statutory provisions that use marriage as the determining factor for EXTRA benefits and privileges.
Unless the router firmware is open source, you have no way of knowing what it is doing, DOCSIS or not.
..and when it is open source, we get our hearts bled anyways.
Instead of jabber-jawing about your religious crusade to promote open source, why dont you instead focus on reviewing some open source codebases. Maybe if you are really diligent for a long enough period of time, your religion will earn our trust.
hat the hell are you talking about. Any engineer will tell you that generating power at peak demand is much more expensive on the plant than at other times.
What the hell are YOU talking about? The people with panels arent generating much power at peak usage times -- they are drawing power at peak because the sun isnt above their house. At peak the sub is approaching or already below the horizon.
Given this, nothing you said makes any sense at all. its like you dont even have the first clue about what you are talking about. Seems fishy to me that you would be so gung-ho to post on a topic you for certain know that you dont understand. Almost as if you are just repeating some shit someone else said, because you share some sort of bond, such as a god damned bleeding heart.
Its more elemental. If those that produce are convinced they won't keep or benefit from what they produce they won't produce and everyone suffers.
Its worse than that. They do not understand that everyone that trades benefits when trades are a choice. The "Free" in "Free Trade" means Liberty. You are also Free to not trade. These are not ironically the same people that complain about things that they are willing consumers of....
I don't think that its the "socialist" philosophy that has turned them into "fuckwits" as you say -- I think its simply that they are Statists. See their calls to confiscate Google properties. "Nationalize them" indeed.
It's like the Democrats are already trying to rationalize why they've lost the 2014 mid-terms.
They want the Koch brothers silenced just like they want Rush Limbaugh silenced. It is unimaginable to them that others might disagree with them without the root of that disagreement being pure greed.
They just cannot believe that half the country disagrees with them, even though clearly half the country isnt "the 2%" They truly believe that "the 2%" are greedy and the other 48% that also disagree with them are "too stupid to vote in their own self interest." This is of course a catch-22.. their logic is that the 2% are guilty because they are greedy, and the rest of the people that arent liberals are guilty because they arent greedy.
I'm not a Republican. I just cant fucking stand the dripping hypocrisy, nor the unimaginable logical fallacies of the fucking American Democrats any longer. I used to think the Democrats were liberal. They fucking aren't. They are just pure petty intolerant fucks with a giant splash of jealousy coupled with unashamed levels of outlandish hypocrisy.
Wealth is not a dollar amount in a bank account, nor is it a deed to a property, nor the size of your paycheck.
Wealth is the goods and services that you can enjoy. Money is a means to that end, but when comparing percentages of money between different pools (such as between different countries) you cannot possibly be comparing wealth in any way at all, because money percentages are even more removed from wealth than money itself is.
Americans are doing quite fine in the wealth department. The vast majority of Americans enjoy levels of goods and services that are the envy of most of the world. 5% this, 11% that, 20% whatever, 44% blah blah... meaningless crap that does not relate to wealth at all.
With the looming trillion dollar student loan bubble, it is quite clear that Americans are not going without access to the higher education services, that quite the contrary there is evidence that too many are partaking in the service to the detriment of us all.
If NTIS were funded through appropriations then the behavior of other government departments would significantly effect the funding that NTIS needs. If NTIS charges the requesting department per document then NTIS's budget scales with demand and the burden for the activity of the requesting department rests on the requesting department.
As far as charging for free documents - the NTIS is offering a one-stop-shop service, which requires money to implement and maintain. That some of the documents are free elsewhere is irrelevant.
Really? "His parents, Zarina (an elementary school principal) and Mubarak Ahmad (a mechanic for AC Transit), raised all six of their children with good values."
Stop being a dishonest fuck.
Nowhere in the wikipedia article you "cite" does it say that
..except for where it gives the 13.8 figure right away in the second sentence of the article, and references it as a number estimated by the United Nations.
"The city-state had the second highest per-capita execution rate in the world between 1994 and 1999, estimated by the United Nations to be 13.83 executions annually per hundred thousand of population during that period."
You are completely worthless if you cant even find shit right at the top when looking at a reference. Seriously. Fucking. Worthless.
One of the insidious liberal fallacies right here.
They (like the parent) claim that its OK to oppress and discriminate so long as the person you are oppressing or discriminating against has support/is represented.
At least you didnt pull out the he was a CEO so anything goes fallacy mindset that is also prevalent here on slashdot.
You are better off ending the debate by calling him a homophobe (throw in racist too) because at least that fallacy ends the debate. Otherwise people like me can point out how intolerant you are.
I design cooling systems for high-heat semiconductors.
So we can expect you to be pretty knowledgeable about stuff, not overlooking important details, and understanding the various limitations imposed by each method...
Guess what? Liquid cooling SUCKS as you're still limited by how fast you can transfer the heat to the air ultimately.
...except what we find out is that actually you only have just enough knowledge to look stupid because you overlooked important details such as the obvious limitations imposed by having your radiator mounted directly on the device being cooled.
And those OSs will run all the software I need? Mission-critical software that the existence of my company hinges on?
So its not windows that is the monopoly.... its this other software you insist is too important to part with. You claim that you locked yourself into OS dependencies... no.. quite clearly you just admitted that you locked yourself into being dependent on other non-os software.
It's estimated to be $200,000 per plane for live tracking. "Billons" would be a huge exaggeration.
If that estimation is correct, then so is "billions."
U.S, Air alone (a single airline) flies 3700 planes with 90 seats or more.
The world stats:
312,000 Active General Aviation Aircraft (private jets, single prop, etc..)

89,129 Military Aircraft
26,500 Civil Helicopters
29,700 Military Helicopters.
I have noticed an issue on slashdot is that most of the folks here do not seem to understand what defines wealth. Wealth is not money. Wealth is the goods and services that money buys.
Americans are wealthy because they enjoy more goods and services than most of the rest of the world. Europeans are wealthy because they too enjoy more goods and services than most of the rest of the world. It isnt about the quantity of dollars or euros.. its about the quantity of goods and services.
Printing up and giving out $1 million to everybody would destroy the economy because the first effect will be a lack of incentive for people to produce goods and services. So the very thing that defines how wealthy we are will immediately become short in supply, so the first effect to handing out that cool $1 million is to make us in general less wealthy.
Either it's incredibly rare or the SEC just isn't monitoring for it. I'd bet on the later.
False dichotomy.
It could also be that its impossible to see an order and then get in front of it, or it might be possible that the SEC looks for it so closely that nobody tried.
Bit I like how of the 4 options, you chose the two worst to false-dichotomize on.
Except, I really don't. For one thing, I'm selfish and want to buy things for the lowest price and sell them for the highest.
Then you should support HFT's because since their introduction the spread betweens BIDs and ASK's has been lower than they ever were prior to the introduction of HFT's.
Quite simply the rise of HFT's signaled the beginning of the race to the bottom for market makers. At one time a seat on the exchange was expensive and there was a hard limit to the volume any member could handle, because it involved humans shouting "selling 5000 shared of MSFT at $19" and some other guy shouting "buy buy buy" and then that first human shouts "buying 5000 MSFT at $18.75" and some other guy shouting "sell sell sell."
In this simple example, the spread between BID and ASK was $0.25.
The profit you anti-HFT people complain about that the HFT people get used to be much larger when the market makers had humans on the floor screaming orders.. Now its literally $0.01 or $0.02 in most cases. That means you pay less when you buy, and get paid more when you sell. If you don't understand this then you don't know how trading actually works and are looking for a villain within the shadows of your own ignorance.

You realize they could just set up a local state dealer and sell through them?
No car manufacturer owns or sets up any dealerships in these states because it is illegal for them to do so.

The whole purpose of the patent system is to get inventors to publicize their inventions so they can be copied (after the patent term expires).
