Does it matter? It's not like anyone with any awareness is going to buy their crap anyway. I avoid them like that plague now, and I advise everyone I know to do the same.
Perhaps carriers should be forced, by law, to encrypt their traffic such that the police would necessarily be forced to ask for the keys to decrypt the calls from a specific phone?
Without getting stupidly extremist ("Death to eavesdroppers"? Really?!), our law enforcement and judicial systems have gotten off into the weeds and need to be reminded that the spirit of the Constitutional amendments that grant privacy are designed to limit personal exposure down to only what is needed to investigate specific crimes committed by specific individuals. The idea of casting a wide net and picking up everyone doing anything wrong will always be attractive and based on the faulty logic that our judicial system is perfect in discerning proof of offense from misleading and incomplete evidence. The Constitution, on the other hand, assumes the judicial system is imperfect and must be held to a high standard that assumes imperfection.
I have to ask: are you joking? Do the asshats at Fox "News" really have you convinced that mankind is actually saving the planet through their CO2 emissions? That has got to be the biggest pile to come out of Bullshit Mountain since its inception. So again, are you joking?
That's like the Republicans thinking they can end Obamacare and Social Security by making it hard to operate them. Obstructionism doesn't work, it just makes you look like an asshole.
Unless you're obstructing in favor of a better solution, which the Republicans have yet to come up with in the case of the ACA. In this case, the better solutions abound and have proven effective in less corporately controlled countries.
In Prince William Sound, decades later, you can still turn over rocks and find crude oil from the Exxon Valdez. Bacteria break down your 100% natural oil great in the lab; not so much in the wild.
Pro tip: never base your argument in how "natural" something is that is 100% toxic to nearly everything in nature. You're welcome.
Highly doubtful. Extra-cellular matrix derived from pig's bladder (referred to by researchers as "pixie dust") is essentially collagen, and retards the scarring process that ends skin and sub-dermal tissue regeneration. This is not the same, though, as encouraging neurons to regenerate or even just to rewire.
I believe sjames just took off your Fox "News" color sunglasses. Blink a few times -- the sudden glare of truth can be blinding at first...
Yes, drug development happens in the U.S., but inexpensive treatment happens everywhere BUT the U.S, largely because of the obscene profit margins on medicine, medical procedures, etc.
Albedo? Do you even know what that word means? You do realize the ice is melting, exposing more dark ocean and earth and accelerating the retention of heat?
And Venus is your example of a self correcting mechanism? A planet with an surface temperature of nearly 900ÂF thanks to its CO2 atmosphere?
Please tell me you're actually mocking idiots that make those kinds of statements and l just missed the joke.....
Congratulations. That is the stupidest thing I've read on the internet today.
The cost of cancer treatment is high; the cost of doing nothing is small. That's the logic you're using. If we attack the problem now, aggressively, we might preserve many of the species that will be adversely affected by rapid shifts in environmental pressures -- ourselves included.
Or are you of the persuasion that believes a magic man in the sky is going to swoop down and save us all?
Trust me it is. Have you tried arguing politics with a teabagger lately? They don't know history, the Constitution and its the Amendments, basic U.S. governmental function, basic economics, global politics, science, etc. They rant about their hatreds and fears but are unable to formulate a logical argument based on facts, instead blending in their religious beliefs and right wing sound bites as foundational arguments. It's all magical thinking and ignorance, and it makes being the intelligent one in the room a burden.
I just got done cleaning up a client's system because they downloaded what they thought were MP3s from a site call MP3Boo or something like that, but one of the files wasn't an MP3. It injected his system will all kinds of malware, and it took a while to get all the crap scraped out of his file system.
I'm certainly not saying it's a panacea, but had he been able to see that the "song" was actually an executable, he *might* not have proceeded.
If by "as it happens" you mean, "that fits, with the proper amount of spin and misreporting, the Fox 'News' propaganda outlet's worldview", then yes, I agree.
Personally I'm relieved that Fox "News" got slapped back a bit. It's not news -- it's entertainment for simple-minded, easily provoked bigots.
Ok, first... extremely liberal... hahah ha lol good one.
Nailed it.
Second, if corporations have shown themselves incapable of doing their job then what is are his options?
Corporations have one job, to make money, and that's what the ISPs are attempting to do by extorting money from targeted consumers of their monopoly-protected services. Having said that, yes, the President should act within the purview of his powers.
Your point is that generalizations can be made. "The GOP opposes regulation of *" would be another equally useless generalization. And yet another would be, "It doesn't matter what it is, the GOP wants it under corporation control."

I give you both points. If he spares Net Neutrality, it will be a huge notch on his belt, but pardoning the telcos is going to be an equally large black mark on his legacy.
The number one concern for the American vote is NOT the economy. The economy is doing great. People's paychecks are what suck. The lack of decent paying jobs is what sucks. The wage gap is what sucks. But the economy? It's doing great, thanks.
If the GOP was concerned about the American voter, they'd up the minimum wage to $11/hr. Instead, they rely on the gerrymandering, voter suppression laws, and hundreds of millions in Koch contributions and dark money to fund propaganda that will convince people to vote against their interests.
But people turn out for presidential elections, and I'm trusting that the GOP will be unable to fight the tidal wave of voter resentment.
That would be the GOP you're thinking of. That's why, if you crawled out from under your rock, you would have heard the President *support* Net Neutrality while the GOP is winding up to *oppose* it. And that is your morning dose of reality. You're welcome.

Scale.
$10 to 100,000 homeless Americans is food for a day.
$20,000 to 50 high school graduates could make college affordable.
$20,000 to 50 clinics in impoverished areas of the world could save thousands of lives.
And yes, those examples and a thousand others taking just a modicum of creativity and would each make the world a better place.

Maybe they can try again next Christmas?

I agree, and thank you for bringing this up. The biggest threat to the Ogallala Aquifer, and every water table on the continent, is fracking.

One practical application of the sorter could be creating a bowl of M&Ms — with all the brown ones
So you just want to single out the brown ones, huh?
I'm brown, you insensitive clod!

A) "precedent"
B) Privacy and Net Neutrality are two different things.
And treating them as two different things, if you're trying to imply that both are important, I agree with you.
And that is a complete, bald-faced lie.
Wait, Sean Hannity? Is that you?
Your point is that generalizations can be made. "The GOP opposes regulation of *" would be another equally useless generalization. And yet another would be, "It doesn't matter what it is, the GOP wants it under corporation control."
