  1. ... No person on the planet has ever died from that. ...

    I'll take a stab at it. Here is a list of those who have died from it:

    From the sun the affects shouldn't affect weather much beyond normal seasons and slightly elliptical orbit variations that are already known. What could be interesting is the reverse, how weather on Earth affects the ionisphere and thermosphere as it will be looking at that too. Ionisphere varies on night and day cycles due to the radiation, but that really just affects RF communications. It would be cool if it showed something unexpected, however.

    This administration criticized the previous administration on these things. Granted, they didn't leak SAP level classified material like Clinton, but if you have an unsecured area, you can guarantee that information is being accessed through at least several of the devices in there have been penetrated by foreign operations of various levels. Some allies, some enemies, and probably just a bunch of random hackers as well.

    I understand the concept, and hope it works. I just don't give the do-nothings in congress a break for stuff like that, or letting bridges and levies degrade to the point of failure. Stuff like that isn't acceptable, but I hope the gamble pays off in this case.

    Not exactly what he has been saying. I would be fine with the regulation staying in place until a law replaced it.

    It's because they weren't creative enough. They implemented it in only the most gimicky ways, and it was aftermarket use (that made Microsoft no additional money) that really made it shine on the PC. Someone will create a product almost as good or better as this source has gone away from a corporation that could not use it effectively.

    Most products for or by gays tend to be pretty damn cool, so there's that.

    I agree we need it not to be a hack regulation, but most of what you are saying is legitimately nonsense. We need a law that actually follows the rules of real net neutrality, not a regulation that 3 people can overturn.

    Tolerance of intolerance is fundamentally implied to not being apart of the meaning. So if someone is being an intolerant and sexist jerk, being opposed to that is not generally considered intolerant. For instance, I'm a very tolerant male feminist (as it falls under egalitarian), but I passively or actively oppose inequality, including gender inequality.

  11. In the SE and earlier, yes, but after the 7 and up became water resistant it takes more effort if you want to restore that capability. For instance, I tend to take mine into a pool whenever I get around one (not often enough, but still). If I did my own battery I would not trust it could handle that.

  12. Because if a processor is at 100% and the battery is worn and gives less energy required by the processor, it wont run out faster, it is a physical failure. Essentially a brownout.

    Sounds like a plan. I have just been getting songs individually (about once a year) from iTunes, which seems to come out to about $6 a month if you average. But I'm more of a shower, car trip, and gym listener. I can't listen to music at work and such really.

  14. This assigning of left and right to everything is some of the stupidest stuff I've read on the internet all year.

    Slavery is more rampant now than any time in history. What are you talking about? It's current form is mainly human trafficking for sex and labor.

    it's actually one of Chairman Ajit Pai's handful of commendable efforts that the process is, in some ways at least, more open to the public

    It may have been open to the public, but there were massive numbers of fake responses posted condemning the hackjob "net neutrality" regulation. All this implementation did was create an opportunity to skew the perception of what the public wanted through a misinformation campaign. We still need real net neutrality in law, not a regulation that three people can overturn.

    A bit of Ad hominem fallacy there. She is smart and corrupt as hell. Voting third party is just a means to an end, to break the hold the two parties have over our freedom. They're both highly authoritarian, and routinely remove freedoms from Americans. We need to get people thinking, not just voting for "their" party.

    Salvation Army is a hateful organization, so being criticized for supporting it sounds like it isn't unreasonable, just not something I'd bother with. Sounds like snowflakes can't get criticized or "condemned" without people getting upset nowadays.

    1 - Why can't black people be expected to get a picture ID? YOU are racist for thinking that "Blacks must be held to a lower standard".

    Are you referring to things like in Alabama where when they implented an ID system they promised not to limit the means of minorities to actually acquire an ID. Then they immediately shut down places that issue IDs in predominately black counties as a "cost-saving measure" which does exactly what they promised not to do. Also IDs are not free, and thus neither are Americans.

    Right, she campaigned to her constituants, losing the states that gave her opponent far more electoral votes for an easy win. Stupid decision that saved us from one mess and got us another. Vote third party!
