    You mean the 8 or so million dollars the feds paid Randy Weaver for the death of his wife because the feds were in the wrong.

    Oh, we understand that others are reading but that doesn't mean we have to change our ways to cater to your desires because you came here so you change to the local customs. Why is it that if I visit your country you will complain if I complain about it not being like the US but then you expect us in the US to change to meet your local customs? Hypocrite much?

    Your complaining is like me reading the Guardian online and complaining about all the misspellings.

    Displaced coal-miners because of "dirty coal" has nothing to do with robotics and such. This seems to be an argument between to leftists about how best to help the "little people" they just screwed over.

    Yes dbIII, those guys are leftists not libertarians, I knnow the first letter being the same is confusing and all. Or maybe you can show me how they are really just the Koch brothers in disguise.

    Oh, like Obama wanting a stronger federal government that regulates nearly aspect of my life, doesn't allow the use of public lands for what they were originally intended for.

    Okay, glad we are on the same page except I didn't realize the Koch brothers were such strong backers of Obama. I guess I'll have to dig way deeper. Thanks for the insight there.

    When in reality, nobody is wanting to see any of the Koch family become any kind of King so a bit of education would be in order.

    If you want a modern-day example of someone desiring to be a King, look no further than someone who has obtained an office and has publicly stated that he intends to make law by executive order if Congress will not make the laws he wants. That is much closer to being King than spending money, which, by the way, plenty of liberal/progressives do as well: Soros and Bloomberg are the two most well-known.

    Yes, it is stealing in the sense that "stealing" is synonymous with "theft" and the act of copying such things without permission has been defined as theft in many legal jurisdictions.

    So it is actually not liberals/progressives who support Affirmative Action? I ask because Affirmative Action means exactly having different standards for different races, as in lower test scores and GPA for those races but higher for that race. Most people read having different standards for different races as discriminating based on race but as the previous poster said... Liberals don't actually see discrimination as discrimination, they see it as "action".

    Are you really so confused about the definition of terms that you somehow find advocating for a dictator to be the same as libertarian. Actually study something and learn and be educated before you do any more damage to society.

    Functional for a much different reason and definitely not new and non-obvious. I learned in my early mechanical design classes that nothing should have sharp edges because sharp edges are stress points and stress points lead to fractures and fractures are a problem. The stress points are as much (or more) of a problem for the molds than for the parts in some cases as well.

    In other words, Apple engineers "discovered" what they were taught in engineering school and the patent office screwed up.

    I call BS. We are talking FOSS here so there can be absolutely no security issue because it was produced by a large community of do-gooders who vetted all commits for us and this means that every bug gets caught within seconds of being committed.

    It is a fact (not theory or guess) that only commercial, closed software has security flaws.

    And yet they are 3 of the 5 that realized that Chris Matthews* is actually an employee of a corporation and that there is no actual way to distinguish his employer from a documentary film maker so they chose to allow Chris Matthews to continue to be employed by a corporation to do what he does and to let the documentary film maker also continue. However, you and Chris Matthews would be happier if all 9 had agreed that being employed by a corporation meant making no more politically oriented speech so that Chris Matthews would be unemployed.

    They only declined to expedite the case by having it skip the normal appeals process; they did not decline to hear it at all. And, as the case now stands, a decline to hear or reverse the lower court means that the NSA loses as that is what the lower court decided.

    You see, sometimes declining to hear is just a way of saying the outcome is so obvious and the lower courts already got it right so stop wasting our time.
