We don't do that. That is part of the problem from the viewpoint of the gun rights supporters.
Good point. Any sane reading of the Second Amendment should make it obvious that citizen gun purchases should be financed by government, as part of the militia. Any citizen should be able to pop up to their local National Guard armory and pick up an AR-15 and a couple of thousand rounds of ammo, no questions asked. It's the only way to keep a free society.
forcing the dog to die to teach grieving is nothing less than cruel
Getting a dog that you know is going to die in ten years, give or take, is part of having a dog. What's really cruel is to force extraordinary medical procedures to extend life for a a sentient creature that is incapable of understanding an communicating consent. Dogs understand when it's time for them to die. People frequently don't. When my last dog died, he let me know that it was time by going outside in the middle of the night in five-degree Fahrenheit temperatures, going behind the shed, and refusing to come out. We coaxed him back in, but ended up putting him down a couple of days later, and he died peacefully with his family beside him. He had a good life.
I'm a profound atheist and one of the big consequence is the belief of eternal oblivion after death. I don't know for you, but for me it's the worst possible outcome and I'll do anything to avoid it as long as I can.
Funny point of view for an atheist. You had eternal oblivion before you were born, and somehow that doesn't seem to bother you at all.
I had to rub my eyes and read again to be sure I didn't read that wrong.
So your point is that pet should die so it can be a good "life lesson" for our kid. Really?
That's not why you buy a pet. But it is part of owning a pet, just as death is a natural part of life. Owning a pet teaches a child about compassion, responsibility, and the cycle of life, including death and grieving. All of these things are valuable lessons for a kid, including the last part. What's a terrible lesson for a kid is to teach them that they can buy their way out of anything unpleasant that might ever happen to them.
Put aside the enormous cost that will surely be involved in extending animal lifespans, but think of the animals themselves: no animal should outlive its owner.
LOL, like you send mails to anyone that can be bothered with accepting encrypted e-mails. anyway.
I do.
If you really care, just entrust it to you ISP, they are already the man in the middle anyway. You are using plenty of protocols that are vulnerable to man in the middle attacks already so any objections you have to it is just a facade.
You very clearly don't understand how PGP key signing works.(Hint: done properly, it makes MITM for all practical purposes impossible.)
Nope. For example, I run my own IMAP server, and access via Thunderbird (or K-9 on my Android device). I'm not sure why TFA calls the product "anachronistic". What should it do in 2015 that it doesn't?
there's no out-of-pocket payment for these classes, so one would think that it's just less painful to go to prison to get an education than go to college.
Riight. People pick Attica over Harvard because the tuition's better. And the chicks are cuter.
Why have them write a Twitter bot if there's no internet access? There are thousands of interesting problems to solve with a computer code. Why that one?
With a little luck though the terrible law that crushes peoples religious freedom and their freedom to do what they wish with there personal property will go down in the flames it deserves.
Because nothing says "religious freedom" like denying other people health care. If only we could keep our taxes from paying for school for girls!
I dunno... if the past is any indicator, people might go crazy with joy if Ford decided to make it white, remove all but one door, round off all the edges and triple the price.

I don't get what you mean. What does eternal oblivion before birth have to do with this? I was in oblivion before birth so I should embrace it?
Well, it wasn't so bad the last time around, was it?
You wimp. You shouldn't need guns to pick the kids up, because the kids ought to be armed themselves.
Only a good toddler with a gun can stop a bad toddler with a gun.
Heckler and Koch MP7A1 . . . then I feel safe.
How could anybody even consider going to pick the kids up at school without one of these babies ready to hand? You can never be too vigilant.
We don't do that. That is part of the problem from the viewpoint of the gun rights supporters.

Instead, the Euros should do like we do here in the U.S. and hand out AR-15's and Glocks to anybody who wants one. That'll keep them safe.

I think that those who still run 14.04 are running servers.
14.04 is the most recent LTS release, so I would imagine that many desktop users are still running that version. Hell, 12.04 is still under support.

This story will generate rational discussion on Slashdot.
Google "curve of binding energy", and you will become enlightened.
Fast reactors.
Shhhh! You're spoiling the demagogue-ing.

Wow. Didn't take long at all for the first "Thanks, Obama!" post.
Um. A slightly more precise attack might be the threat model you're defending against.
No, but Science IS the title of a magazine. The one linked to for the article in fact.
It's a pity the magazine wasn't Nature. GP's head would have exploded.
Should heavily pro-AGW academics be allowed to remove any references to critics of anthropogenic climate change?
Um ... yes?

You're welcome.

That would be the upcoming Apple ICar.
