Citizen's United didn't create the concept of corporations as people. That has been a longstanding principle carried over from common law. Note also that companies are not the same as corporations and the former does not have the privileges of personhood.
The company in question is Maxfield & Oberton Holdings LLC. The limited liability aspect should be enough to protect the owners from a rapacious civil servant but clearly some people are more interested in furthering their careers with safety-nazi crusades than properly observing the law.
Keep dreaming. Professional sports team owners could start setting aside a portion of their annual profits to pay for their own stadium upgrades every 20 years. They've got the funds... but it's cheaper to make the taxpayers pay for it. Too big to leave town and all that.
This is also why they ballooned the defense budget in the name of "fighting terrorism" and are now unwilling to make the necessary cuts to return to pre-war funding levels because it will mean a loss of jobs in the MIC.
They're using "overclocking" here as a metaphor, but people seem to take it literally.
Because it is a specific technical term that shouldn't be misappropriated for something completely unrelated. This foolishness is what happens when the marketing department steers the ship. Something Intel should have learned their lesson on with the MHz wars and the P4.
Then again maybe I've just been ahead of the curve all these years when I "overclock" a new ext[2-4] partition with the minimum superuser reserved space. I've also taken a liking to "overclocking" my tarballs by switching from gzip to bzip2.
Note that this information supposedly comes from "a former U.S. official with knowledge of the case". This is an ongoing, classified investigation. It would be illegal for anyone connected to it to divulge such details to the press much less anyone no longer working for the government (at least officially). This "former official" is either talking out his ass or is a shill being used to strategically smear Snowden by trying to appeal to the general populaces inferiority complex.
worries me that the FreeType font library is now being made to accept untrusted content
Freetype has an auto-hinting engine originally developed to get around the TTF hinting patent. It is possible to configure FT to never interpret the hinting bytecode at all.
China is now the worlds largest producer of peanuts. The rest of the world didn't start heavily importing food from China until the early 90's. It stands to reason that the locals are likely to have immunity from constant exposure to their endemic varieties of mold than other populations are.
it has to be tempting for a private university to admit the children of well-known rich people, for example, both for the PR, and for the potential funding
Tempting? That's exactly what they do. Do you really think GW Bush got into Yale on merit? The same with lowering admission standards for legacy students of less nobler parentage.
STEALS OPEN SOURCE CODE by slicing off the headers from the code they stole.
While that is an abhorrent practice, open source licenses recognize concept of the company as an individual (implicitly if not explicitly). It is a legal necessity for copy-left to work with the existing framework of copyright law. Because of this, it is legally okay for a company to use modified open source code internally without public disclosure of modifications because that doesn't count as redistribution under the law.
The AGPL's extra requirements for software as a service are the only real impediment to this in the realm of open source licenses. Even that only takes effect if you are using modified code for an externally accessible network service.
Don't forget the "attack" on Yugoslavia to protect muslim bosniaks from christian serbs and croats. Our sworn enemies always seem to gloss over that one when tallying up our sins.
Doing that just legitimizes the practice of sites requiring sign-in from an external social media account. At the very least use OpenID wherever possible.
The investigators look into your relationships when you apply for these organizations. You are obliged to report changes in relationship status as they occur while you are employed there. Taking it upon yourself to pry into another person's business outside of your normal duties is an unethical abuse of government resources.

They are the same temperature. That is the crossover point of the two scales: (-40C * 9/5) + 32 == -40F
This decree is ofcourse a blatant attack on the rights of the Vietnamese people to have a say in how their country is run
They don't have a say in how their country is run unless they climb to the top ranks of the party. Sort of like how the US is operated.

What's the sense in having laws if you can't apply them selectively and perniciously.

Pretty funny that it costs more to lease a Reliant Robin than the Skoda or VW.
Basically they don't want their departmental budget slashed by $20K next year so they have to spend all of this years money.
Management 101: You look bad if you spend less than you planned.
When they graduate they might have learned enough to use the hosts file instead.

if I were to use something other than a word processor for heavily formatted documents, I'd use HTML and CSS
I think you'd be more productive writing in Postscript.

Taking pictures inside a SCIF with your personal electronic devices is a major no-no. This guy is about to get slapped down hard for that alone.

Non-free hardware documentation is generally a problem but in this case all of the USB specs are available for free.
Those are ferry routes.
That's not a valid comparison because the DR doesn't have the same level of highway infrastructure as Germany.
You seem to forget where the star chamber was created.
