Minor nitpick. The commandment is mistranslated as "Thou shalt not kill" but it should be closer translated to "You will not murder". In the case you speak of however, it does not make a difference, though I can see justification of it in that they are trying to stop the future murder of many of unborn children, I still do not agree, and any proper christian would not do it. Here is a good summation of the difference between kill and murder:
You do realize that children don't come from the womb fully trained right? Kids like playing games, they have bright colors. When there is a button that allows them to play the game better, they will press it. Kids up to around 14 don't understand, and even college level kids often don't understand the value of money. I am not allowed to have my 11 yr old son get a job to earn money, so he has no concept of how much work is involved with the earning of money. It is a rather difficult thing to teach children, and when Apple made it so easy (before the update) for kids to spend $1400 without parent involvement, it was a boneheaded thing for them to do. This was a story in the news, there really was a kid who did this. I don't blame the parents, as I have kids, and I know how hard it is to teach them basic money skills, and basic security. My kids don't even notice the Android security screen when they download free games, and if my market purchases required no password, I am sure they wouldn't notice that they were spending money. Apple did allow this to happen, it has been since fixed, but this article is pointing out a bug. Why is it that you can get a free game, then pay $99 for a wagonload of smurfberries?
How hard is it for a child to download the game though? What child really understands money? I still am teaching my kids the costs of their wants, and what it takes to earn that money, but I wouldn't trust them with the keys to purchase on my phone or tablet even though they are old enough. Most kids wouldn't even read the warning, I have watched my son installing apps on my android tablet, and he doesn't even realize there is a security screen, it is just an additional tap to him.
Also, there was recent news from another of the scientists that worked on the study that Mueller conveniently forgot to mention that the data shows a plateau for the past 10 years of data.
If it was about safety, we would build Thorium reactors which are passively safe. Uranium reactors were always about weapons, not about safe.
Perhaps we should rebrand Thorium reactors as a green power source that has nothing to do with nuclear, kinda like nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (nMRI - because MRI), maybe we can call them unicorn fart power!
The thing I never understood is that there are many in America who I would class as sports nerds. When you can quote the birth date of a second string linebacker, you are most definitely a nerd, not a jock.
What you seem to miss is that the Roman Catholic Church (which is what you are referring to...) was not against stem cell research. They were against the immorality of using fetuses for the research. The RCC still considers abortion to be equivalent to murder, which if you think about it, it pretty much is. So being against it on moral grounds isn't much different than being against the production of a Frankenstein monster as it involves the usage of parts of dead people.
Historically, the Church was the main source of education, and scientific progress. Sometimes what science found wasn't compatible with dogma (Galileo), but the modern church has apologized for the ignorance that led to many of these conflicts.
Is riding the train and driving a car a privilege too? How about walking down the street? All of these have had instances of the TSA doing inspections/patdowns recently.
The ownership portion should even be part of this analogy.
When I move my car from home to work, I don't suddenly lose ownership and control over it. My license plate doesn't suddenly change to a work license plate.
The ownership portion of the idea sounds like they are trying to allow you to retain full ownership rights and protection of your files, even when they are stored in the Google, Amazon or whoever's cloud. The files don't magically become Google's property just because they are stored there. Microsoft is trying to design a framework for you to retain your rights.
Personally, I hope ACTA being signed by Obama is held as against the constitution. Congress ratifies treaties, not the President, and they were never given the option to see ACTA before it was signed. I am not holding my breath on it though.
I am pointing out that it makes no sense whatsoever to say specifically anything about the GOP, because the same criticism is true of Liberals. When you point out that the GOP is doing something, and totally miss that the Liberals are doing the exact same thing, it makes you look like you are blinded to what "your" side does.
The way the Google driverless car works is that it has a map of the surrounding terrain to work off of so that it can determine where in the road it is. This would need an update.
As to the car software updates, Toyota was forced to provide a software update for most of their cars recently. The software update causes the gas pedal to go to 0 whenever you hit the brake pedal so that if the engine is racing (due to a bug, or due to the gas pedal being pinned to the floor) and you hit the brake, the engine automatically stops racing and allows you to come to a controlled stop. With cars including more computers as time goes on, there will be more instances of software updates to cars. Also, it isn't unheard of for built in navigation systems to need updates sent out by DVD, and if you think about it for more than a few seconds, it would make perfect sense to you. Our road system isn't static, there are new roads being built every day, roads get widened, roads get reworked to be more efficient, roads move (people mostly, but even with the Earth shifting as is the case in Japan recently and California)
The current laws in the US handle this already. The Google car requires a person in the driver seat who is paying attention, as the driver is ultimately responsible for what the car does.
I highly doubt a CRX is better then 90% of modern non hatchbacks. Smaller tires, higher center of gravity, smaller engine, smaller brake area, and much heavier.
Do you know how I can tell you've never driven in "reasonable and prudent" Montana? There are no speed limits except for trucks. So therefore, how could the posted speed limit be 65?
However, that law doesn't appear to be in effect anymore. reasonable and prudent was literally, what you and the officer agree is a safe speed due to the conditions. If it is 80, go 80.
Which university do you have a MD from? As you most likely don't have an MD, and don't have anything to add to this conversation other than overreaction, and that this study was done to find out the good and bad of screening, maybe they know more about the subject than you?
That is getting much harder now. Just as all the manufacturers are getting rid of 4x3 and 16x10 displays in favor of everything being the 16x9 of 1080p.
If you live near a coal plant, no one wants it there. Now, nuclear and "renewables" are the better path.
Which makes me wonder, what qualifies something as renewable?
Tidal: you are slowing down the moon and the earth by harvesting that energy (just not very fast) Wind: powered by the sun, which isn't permanent Solar: see wind Nuclear: powered by former suns, will last a damn long time if we reprocess Coal: created from compress plants, just as renewable as tidal/wind/solar, but takes many years

RTFA?
Hell, RTFS?

What is wrong with solar thermal power towers?

Storage is handled by the liquid salt stored in insulated underground silos which lasts through the night and balances the cloudy days.
I however feel the future currently lies with Thorium reactors as they can shutdown without any power input and don't have the ability to meltdown.
Also, there was recent news from another of the scientists that worked on the study that Mueller conveniently forgot to mention that the data shows a plateau for the past 10 years of data.

American? Who would buy an american car looking for a good vehicle? Toyota FTW! /sarcasm /joke

GW Bush was involved in the early stages of ACTA, it was done in secret, therefore my tinfoil hat says it must be evil!
The above is sarcasm...in case you couldn't tell...

That hasn't stopped the manufacturers from having custom codes in the ODB-II interface.

But GOP tax and spend policies keep government from doing useful things,
And the liberals do anything remotely different? Oh, yeah, they send the money to the entertainment industry.

Did you perhaps buy it with a privacy filter? If not, complain to Lenovo.
