While not exactly TSA related, more CBP related, there was a gentleman who was on the no fly list, who was in the US. Given he couldnt fly, he took a boat to get back home to europe. Sounds reasonable right? Well, he was removed from the cruise ship prior to the ship arriving in port. You can find more info on the identify projects webpage.
The US gets most of its oil from canada and mexico. Since oil is a commodity, of course events in the middle east effect the price, even if the US doesn't actually obtain oil from those countries.
You are aware that the US in the top three exporting countries in the world? The US is behind china and germany. The US still exports steel, airplanes, arms, automobiles, and agricultural products. There are also "soft products" like software, and financial services.
The US no longer makes lots of consumer goods. that is likely to flow to wherever it is cheapest.
They should have teamed up with the GOP instead. I know one of the OWS organizers (he handles their money) and their beliefs are surprisingly in common with the Tea party before it was co-opted by Palin and other GOP leaders.
A biggie that they both want is less money in politics.
I thought most of the founding fathers were deists. With respect to religion, people remember that the purpose of the law was to keep one particular brand of christianity from becoming the offical national religon, but seem to forget that some various states had various versions of christianity as their offical state religion, even until the early/mid 1800's.
Career federal civil servants beyond a certain paygrade (GS-13 and above) already have limits on the amount of stock they can hold in areas that they regulate or hold some sort of authority over. Political nominees and members of congress have different rules.
I don't remember any religious indoctrination during my time as a scout. We had jews, muslims, and a wide variety of christain demoninations. Scouts could optionally persue medals from these groups and were authorized to wear them on the uniform, but they were not conducted by the BSA themselves and there was never any pressure to do so. Perhaps 10-20% of the scouts in my troop went for them.
We spent time learning how to build fires, tie knots, basic first aide and doing service projects, the only time religion was mentioned was in the scout oath. The clergy from the church that sponsored our troop never made an appearance. Alternative lifestyles were never really mentioned by the scoutmasters, but plenty of jokes about them were made by other scouts, as boys of ages 11-17 are likely to do.
Some people seem to view the BSA's affinity with religion as indoctrination, and some seem to have the same view of catholic schools. My friends who attended catholic schools did have religious classes, but they were more along the lines of comparative religion (covering judiasm, christianity, islam, buddism etc) than preparation for confirmation/sunday school.
In public we don't have the expectation that anyone would be able to track our movements with such a degree of accuracy. Tails get lost at 3am in bad neighborhoods. GPS tracking won't.
Nor would we reasonably expect that the government would be able to devote such man power to track all of us individually using traditional methods.
It seems the notable feature is the GUI aspects where the results are oriented by QOS or other criteria as required by the independent claims. The likelyhood that 102 art is available is probably low, but would seem like a reasonable 103.
I would wonder why it is currently classifed in the more generic 707 database class instead of class 725 where electronic program guides which search diverse devices (PC, DVR,VCR+internet) in order to assemble a program guide are classed?
Check subclasses 48-53 as well as subclasses 133 and 141.
The office is well aware of this sort of art, there are existing patents which search the interent as well as local sources such as DVD players, PCs, PVRs etc to create combined electronic program guides. They are found in the above sub classes.
Same thing has occured in my own local public school system. They have a ratio of.78 administrators per teacher and a staff of 18 lobbyists!
More recently they wanted to spend 135 million on a new administraton building to consolidate mulitple office spaces while students are being taught in 20 year old trailers. All this in the second wealthist county in the nation.
People seem to think that people who are "rich" must be swimming around in their money bins like Scrooge McDuck. They don't seem to realize that if they don't invest that money, its value decreases.
That is probably why they don't have the understanding of how to build wealth themselves.
Entire genre's of games have pretty much disapeared, this is true in the PC world in particular.
Point and click adventure games are pretty much gone.
The simulation field has dried up. From space sims, flight sims, to mechwarrior type sims. While I racing has brought something new to the table, the other sims have largely been ignored. I would have figured by now that there would have been plenty of high res cheap HMDs on the market leading to a resurrgence of sims, but it hasn't happened. Heck, you had low res HMDs for Flight Unlimited and mech warrior 2 back in the mid 90's!
CRPG's don't have the depth they used to. Fallout 3 didn't have nearly the same content as fallout 2.

So wedge issues are more important to you, than anything else?
The founding fathers revolted for far less...
I still find it wacky that the US exports a decent amount to asia.
Perhaps I should have phrased it, that our imports mostly come from canada and mexico....

A lot of people forget the tea party anger against big banks, bailouts etc.

You forgot the pacific theatre. The russians just stepped in there at the last days of the war.

Cultural Revolution or Great Leap forward or Stalin much?
The death tolls from those policies dwarfs any from firebombing, or nuclear explosions.

You never had to write pseudo code? That was certainly a part of various CS and other related classes for my undergrad.

How does the USPTO strike again? Accept an applicant's money for filing an application?
No patent has been granted yet.

Given that first action allowances are relatively rare, I would disagree.

We're broke and shipped away much of our wealth!
I can only hope that Americans become more optimistic and want to take up big things once again.
