Cell phones are highly regulated. As are TVs, at least in the tuners. Not a very good example of no regulation.
Just imagine that Nokia decided to come out with a phone for back country use that had 10x the transmit strength of a standard cell phone. This phone, when used in a city would cause the entire city's cell network to be unusable on the frequency the phone was running on. This is why the FCC regulates the airwaves. This is important and useful regulation.
Because many people, in their blind love of Apple, feel that anyone pointing out their mistakes is somehow a troll. Personally, I would mod it Funny if i had points, as it appeared to be an attempt at a joke. If it was a logged in user, I would use one of the I mods, as they give Karma where Funny does not.
Well, the specific part they are complaining about there I just took as a needed peice of science fiction to bring about the events in the book. Much like the wind in the Martian that would never be strong enough to tip the rocket over, but yet was later described in the book as not enough to worry about an aeroshell.
Sometimes things have to happen in a certain way to have any story at all. I didn't consider the physics of the moon break up, but I can see that if something were to break up the moon, it would cause small chunks to fall on the Earth. It is interesting though to see some of the math behind why it is just not possible.
I enjoyed SeveneveS, but I still find myself wondering why the spaceborn had to drop comet cores on Earth...I just don't understand where he thought the water that boiled would go.
Then again, I have been told I overthink things.
I do agree with Thagg though, it really could have ended when the Eves got to cleft.
Politics is the art of negotiating. Refusing to negotiate, or even meet with the other side shut down the government. The only person who wouldn't work with the other side was Obama, and funny, but when he finally negotiated with them, the budget was signed that day. Interesting how that works, huh?
Isn't bigotry the practice of reducing people to only a group to which they belong, then saying things apply to them as they apply to the group?
It seems the above statement pretty well reflects true bigotry. A trans person will be elected when people stop worrying about what they are, and stand behind the person for who they are, not a single group they belong to. Why is it so important that a person belong to a group for you to support them?
Ah, yes. The new liberal mantra: If you didn't vote for Hillary, you're racist, misogynist, sexist, xenophobic...
Mocking crippled people, questioning a judge's impartiality based on his ethnicity, urging his followers to violently deal with protestors (and then he'd pay the lawsuit), bragging about assaulting women, the list goes on and on for Trump's publicly recorded abuse and vitriol, during the campaign and continuing until the present.
Only one of those things is even racist, misogynist, sexist, or xenophobic. Also, it is false. He bragged, in private, about women letting him grab them. There is no assault involved when a woman willingly lets you grab them. Is this even any worse than Bill Clinton using the Oval Office to commit rape?
I know, isn't it awsome that the founding fathers gave us a representative republic? Since pure Democracy leads to tyranny of the majority, it is wonderful that the founding fathers had the great forsight to prevent the majority from ruling minorities and leading to worse racism than we even see now!
If you want a democracy like you are calling for, feel free to move to Switzerland, they seem to be the only country that has been successful with it considering how well everything has gone in Columbia and Argentina.
As everyone above asks, please point to a single instance of him calling for a Muslim registry. He didn't say it, he didn't ask for it, and claiming he did is all fake news. What he was asked and answered was about an immigration database, which already exists. When directly asked about the Muslim database, he said he wouldn't rule it out. This is not the same thing as calling for a Muslim database. The only person bringing up Muslim in any way was the reporter, which would make them...a bigot.
I'm sorry, but I seem to have missed President Obama saying anything about warrantless use of Stingrays, can you point me to a single instance of him speaking out against them and the GOP (as you imply) blocking the legislation he recommended?
As a fellow ditch digger in IT, I have never worked at a company that didn't do training reembersment, from $3k to $10k per year. You must be choosing crappy companies?
I am in the same position as you WRT owning. I have always considered it an unwise choice for me to have a gun with my kids in the house, but I would never prevent another from owning a gun.
As for the first, I would wonder which portion they would want to gut. Freedom of speech seems to be something that the Left has wanted to gut recently, while the right seems to want to make Christianity a national religion, which would gut freedom of religion. I think only Trump wants to remove the freedoms of the press though, because he doesn't like what they have to say, and feels that slander/libel laws aren't enough...for some unspecified reason.
I personally want to maintain all of the Constitution and Bill of Rights; even to the point that I think the federal government is too powerful, and we need to return to a state of independant states as the Constitution calls for. Perhaps this makes me unusual, but that is me.
Engineers (never says software anywhere) from a manufacturing technology company (not a software company, thought they have some software). You seem a little biased on this.

Perhaps removing the end credits and the FBI warning screen would be enough editing?
I can only assume that yes, AmiMoJo must be an alt account of Brianna Wu, as I can see no other way for someone to be that blind...

I look forward to all the vitrol being spewed when she loses the election. It will be entertaining.
The panels could even be used as a roof over the road...most likely cheaper than these panels.
Funny, didn't Obama open up the Atlantic oil drilling locations a couple years ago?

It isn't sexual assault when the woman is willing!
Are you one of those snowflakes that says all sex is rape?

What race are muslims? What race are latinos?
How is he racist? Please explain, give detail and citations.
I'm sorry, but I seem to have missed President Obama saying anything about warrantless use of Stingrays, can you point me to a single instance of him speaking out against them and the GOP (as you imply) blocking the legislation he recommended?
Heck, it is in the summary. This is about requiring warrants with Stingrays, not allowing their use without warrants.
Perhaps we will use people as the mortar after they have been cremated?

Do you have any links to how they are accomplishing tunneling through tar? Do they just treat it like an underwater tunnel?

They design hardware for manufacturing lines, hardly a software company spouting off, they do this stuff for a living.
You are ok with Russia annexing parts of other countries and fomenting a rebellion in the same country?
What crack are you on where this is acceptable from a former superpower?
