I buy books and music online (sometimes in electronic formats, sometimes physical media.) Then I get it from TBP instead of downloading it where I bought it or ripping CDs. It is faster and easier for me, I do not have to deal with Digital Restrictions Management, and the vendor saves money on bandwidth. Everybody wins, except that the pirate download count is artificially high.
I understand why the Citizens United decision is unpopular, but please explain why it was legally incorrect. Where in the constitution is the federal government granted the authority to restrict to whom and how much corporations can give money?
If you do not like the law, urge your representatives to change the constitution, do not ask the court to ignore it.
He did not say that one race was better than another. He said that people of one race in a particular country statistically have different behavior patterns than another race in the same country, and then made a few inferences.
Instead of calling him a racist, point out the flaws in his data and logic.
X was designed for how video cards worked and what they could do decades ago. Support for newer features is hacked on. The kernel may be 20 years old, but the video drivers have been changing all the time. Wayland is targeted at modern hardware, and aims to be simpler to use and perform better.
Sadly, a piece of paper is not standing between you and tyranny. The only thing standing between you and tyranny is your ability to keep the potential tyrant scared of you. The potential tyrant has the largest military in the world, a police force of thugs who can beat you and strip search you, and a populace that will not defend you. Like it or not, might makes right.
Having a road system is fine. Using the roads for distributing supplies in trucks is fine. Building your cities around people burning fossil fuels to drive a 4000lb vehicle that takes up a 10 foot by 20 foot space 10 miles to buy 30 pounds of groceries is a disaster.
Bikes do far less damage and require far less infrastructure than cars do.
If the products and services I buy are are delivered by roads and road use taxes go up, so will the prices I pay. If we reduce general taxes accordingly, it is a wash for me.
The entire economy is built around the road system.

If the user you run your browser as has write access to the browser installation, Mozilla probably does know better than you.
What are you talking about?
People do not trust Their Party, but they still distrust The Other Party, so they will keep voting party-line.
So nothing will change.
Since lawyers and accountants got involved in everything.
HP already certifies other distributions and operating systems. They are adding Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to the list.
The market for that is not big enough to fight Microsoft over license prices.
Where was religion mentioned anywhere in the article or summary?
Or maybe the new reactors will be safer modern designs. (Fukushima Daiichi went live in 1971, Chernobyl in 1977)
So nobody can carry a pistol?
You cannot own a gun in Canada? Seriously?
Bribes can be disguised as campaign contributions, but campaign contributions are not necessarily bribes.

We have not managed to train drivers to not hit other cars, and you want to train them to pay attention to people on the side of the road?
The solution is to ban cars from urban areas.

There is a huge difference between donating to charities who do valuable work in your community and giving to the government.
We have to make sure there is stuff for everybody to watch, because people with cable don't riot.

If it was my provider, I'm leaving.
The terrorists are strip-searching people with judicial approval.

I tried to explain this to my boss when he complained that I show up 14 minutes late every day.
Seriously though, why do they not simply report X percent arrived within 15 minutes of due time?

That is what we need to fix.
The US DOT does not do all of the road maintenance.
