He was a real loose cannon, politically. He alienated His own party before the primary and they didn't want him there. He was contentious about everything. It was all about him anyway. He seemed to be the only person that didn't realize the republicans had voted him in during the primary, knocking out a perfectly reasonable candidate. That alone tells you a lot.
Of course it does. In the Michigan governor's race a while ago, the Republicans crossed over in the primary and got Jack Kavorkian's Lawyer selected for the democratic candidate. Needless to say, he lost.
Nice. I have been burglarized/robbed 8 times so far. Nothing has ever been found and no one ever caught. Those state funds are working well, aren't they? I have a home security system now and that seems to have alleviated most of the problem. The thieves seem to go to the other houses in the neighborhood are not willing to pay the private company for the service. Put the money where it does the most good.
. We rejected feudalism hundreds of years ago. Why go backwards?
Well... feudalism being a form of oligarchy, I think rejecting libertarianism (which, last time I checked, rejects oligarchies) would actually be going backwards. Your argument makes no sense.
on the plus side, at least it wasn't a ten thousandth iteration of a tired old Slashdot meme. though lame jokes like this getting modded to +5 Funny is a Slashdot meme in and of itself.
Sorry, just used my mod points or I would mod you up.
and give pioneers someplace to go which means they will slip the leash. Right now there is no new frontier. If a substantial population moves off the planet how will they ever round them back up? The meek will inherit the Earth, everyone else will be making a life out there somewhere.
Man, don't you love letters like that? They are asking for money, but they don't list a single, specific point of how the law needs to change, or what specific philosophical claims for which they are in disagreement with EFF, CC, et. al.
They are asking you to write a check, but they haven't explained, AT ALL, what the money is going to be used for. They use very vague and nebulous statements that add up to nothing. What do they actually want to do?
Simply because you or I cannot find an immediate use for something does not mean that it is not useful. Who knows, in 15 years, knowledge gained through these experiments could lead to a better method of harvesting energy from some unknown source, or coming up with a better means of propulsion or medicine for a problem that we thought was mundane (subatomic cure for the common cold? who knows).
At least a redesigned toaster. I think that's doable in 15 years.
South Carolina uses an open primary system where any registered voter can vote in the Democratic primary, not just registered Democratic Party members.
Is it possible that thousands of Republicans decided to vote for Alvin Greene not because they want him to be their next Senator, but because he is such a hopeless candidate that he will be crushed by the Republican nominee?
On the face of it, this open primary system seems open to abuse. If you vote for candidate A in the primary, and he wins the primary to move onto the general election ballot, shouldn't your vote be "locked in" to support him in the general election?
At one point in Michigan, Jack Kevorkian's lawyer declared for the Democratic primary for governor and the Republican party crossed over and granted his wish, much to the consternation of the Democrats. It happens.
Look, I live in SC. No one knew about the felony charges till after the election. I think it was a mix of "first guy on the list" and I don't like the guy the party is backing and there is no selection for "none of the above". (apparently, NV has such a thing?)I used to live in Baton Rouge and I thought the politics was entertaining there. It's entertaining here, too.
Again though, why the use of meaningless words? Couldn't he have just said "the resolution/DPI is so dense that your eyes won't be able to distinguish individual pixels"? What, does the average Apple customer really seek the need of some special word to wrap up the device's capabilities in? And if they do, what does that say about their average customer?
I think it's insulting to the people that buy Apple's products, regardless of whether people seek it out or not.
"The sealed box containing the key to unpick defunct digital formats will be locked away for the next quarter of a century behind a 3-1/2 ton door"..."the information and tools required to access and read historical digital material and prevent digital memory loss into the next century."
Perhaps they should include the calculations they used to equate 25 years with 90 years.
The question is whether to post warning or pitch it as a benefit of using the Wii Fit. With the right ad they could be harder to find than a Tickle Me Elmo.

We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it.
We’ve decided to do something about it,” said Mr I. H. Yeh, ELAN MICRO ELECTRONICS CEO.
“We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”
Think you hold of a couple more days? My iPad should be here by then.
Anyone who thinks that anything Mythbusters does is at all scientific is an idiot. Their basic model is that if they can't get it to work in three tries, then they blow it up to keep their ratings.
It's not like Mythbuster is the only evidence. There's been proper studies - by scientists, with white coats and all that.
The first thing I thought of when you said that was mentos and 2 liter bottles of soft drink.
Your point about 3rd-world people losing their heritage is very meaningful to me, as it's something I've thought about quite a bit. I feel like there must be a way to improve certain obvious aspects of society for third-worlders without drastically changing the way they live. It's just that in our current *rush for the next big thing* mentality we don't stop to give such consideration.
I think the point was that they should be the ones to make the choices of maybe they want electrification or better roads or whatever and give them the choices of how they want to change themselves as far as their culture, what to keep and what to leave. We do them a disservice if we tell them "no, you can't have this technology because you will loose your specialness" whatever that might mean to us. It's their choice.
Now that I think of it, What if the cure for my deafness were imposed on me? That thought gives me pause.
I think we might be missing the point. I read it as "Maybe we shouldn't have the cure available because it would be morally wrong." That strikes me as a lot more ominous.
I'm deaf and they are researching a similar cure for my condition. I can't wait to hear again. But what if they decided it would be wrong to change me from the way my genetic makeup made me? Or maybe the people in a third world country shouldn't be helped to advance because they would loose their heritage? In each case, the people should have the right to decide their fate. Just my opinion but interesting question.
The point is that DDT harms people more than helps in non-malaria countries.
Without gov't to stop DDT spraying 3rd parties can get harmed. There is no way to prevent DDT from wiping out populations of animals without gov't regulation, just like i can't fish up mercury free Tuna. Private industry hasn't solved that problem.

But since they didn't get their funding, we'll never know how that would have played out.

My son was born 16 weeks prematurely 20 years ago. So far so good. His head is now larger than a walnut which was about the size it was at the time.

Obviously receive money.
Are you saying there are slow unicorn enthusiasts?
Only impaled ones.

Not to mention beating 1 in 10 odds isn't that suspicious.
Yeah, they do it on TV all the time.

Of course with the iDriver, your route will have to be approved by apple 3 weeks in advance.
There's an App for that!

What about the iPad shuffle? The first e-book reader with with no screen!
Good for audio books, I guess.
