Why not move the ballot boxes to a secure location like, I dunno, where they count them or where the ballots are stored in the case of a recount. You can even count them while they're there that night. I have a feeling that securing ballot boxes is a solved problem. (Or at least solved enough that this doesn't introduce undue risk.)
After one day without dihydrogen monoxide you'll undergo changes in mental faculty, headache frequency and even muscle soreness. After two days you'll sweat less, will no longer taste dihydrogen monoxide in your mouth and will have begun to lose weight. After three days your whole presence of mind will change and you'll start to see things you've never seen before. After four days your body will undergo permanent changes and your dihydrogen monoxide addiction will be entirely cured. In fact, addition of dihydrogen monoxide after that point is likely to only increase the deterioration of your body and staying in a dihydrogen monoxide free environment is likely to preserve your body in its current state for many years.
WAT? You do realize that I was making fun of you by using the broken windows fallacy?
Investing in STEM education is an actual investment in the productivity of our nation. Paying glaziers to fix our windows is not an investment.
Teach a man to fish. Give a man a fish. Teaching a man to fish is useful. Just giving him fish is not as useful (unless, of course, not having fish is the only thing holding him back.)
Because it's my right to decide who sees my broccoli-shaped penis and not-so-male panties, plain and simple just as it's my right to decide who touches those same things. Unless there is a clear and articulable suspicion of wrongdoing the government's supposed to butt out. Keep that camel's nose out of my pants, please.
Fees aren't that high. Paying lawyers and technical experts to make sure you're not infringing anyone else's patents and that your patent is sufficiently described, however, cost a lot.
No, it's not. If I'm a small business with 25k in debt to start up and another 50k in debt to finance my new patent on my new product and then Microsoft sues me for violating their patent I can either capitulate and be out a minimum of 75k as my business disappears or fight with nearly no money to finance my operation.
Microsoft, on the other hand, can pay 5M to its lawyers to crush me.
If, somehow, I win my legal fees back I get to wait through round after round of appeals, have lost months if not years of product sales due to the injunction in place on me and have, in the meantime, defaulted on all my debts, losing my business. Yeah, not quite fair.
Yes, and as a secret Moslem Obama really wants to make all of your wives and daughters his wives under Allah so that he can implant within each of them the seed of the Dark Lord Allah to commit the true Jihad of oppression over the white devils, right?
So you're saying: Don't visit friends and family across the country or out of the country. Don't take out-of-driving-range vacations. Don't interview for jobs across the country. Don't assume, like the rest of the civilized world, that flight is cost and time-effective.
You're saying we should give up a major advancement of modern life that has become accepted as a fact of life. I don't think we can win the battle on this front.
Finally, while not all pirated views represent a lost full-price admission ticket sale, they most certainly do represent a non-zero form of lost revenue.
Unless I see the cam on Wednesday before the Friday opening, tell all my friends how awesome it was and all five of us see it in the cinema on Friday at midnight. In that scenario the cam/made/ 5 sales. This is pretty much what happened with me and/Cabin in the Woods/. A friend saw it, told me it was good, so my girlfriend and I saw it then we told all our friends they should see it. Look at that, because one guy saw the film and told his friend about ten people have paid full-price admission for it now!
Also, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK non-profit. That means different rules from US non-profits. I do not, however, know those differences off the top of my head.
You know, that recent server replacement... If the Feds left malware that allowed FBI agents to break into the server at will I think that there could be an argument for cyber-quartering of cyber-troops since the hosting company is being forced to provide power, cpu cycles, HDD space and rack space to support the FBI cyber activities..

How about Saturday /and/ Sunday... And require workers to have six hours during voting hours off on at least one of the two days.
I thought the price for freedom was a buck-o-five?
This is just unused capital costs. I'm sure the total loss is far worse.

I know. Isn't is terrible how those Ameridumbs all think that they're not worse than the rest of the world?

Please, they'll see an Arabic man with a beard and turban, they won't care who it is.
Yes, and let's break all our windows to give work to the glaziers.
Fees are waived for the first 50 patents owned

I first read that as "to screw Congress members and lobbyists" and got really excited for a second.

Yes, I hear the rights ration went up to 5 last week. The previous level was only 4 rights.
They're also illegal for private ownership in NYC...
Because that billboard would probably be considered providing material support and get you sent to prison for thirty years.

Those MMW scanners are supposed to radiate a couple hundred micro-watts/cm2 at the beam focus.
FTFY.

Vote Ron Pau... yeah, no, that doesn't quite work in this situation since he's still at least a (R) by choice.
Vote Americans Elect!

It has zero detriment to feelings towards women or sex. Kids have been looking at porn for decades now...
Not that I disagree with your distrust of the OP but yeah, uh... That's not a great argument.
