I personally try to avoid my money being used against my interests. Ford and Disney aren't really relevant like that at this point. I wouldn't boycott a bar he attended, but I wouldn't buy him a drink either. I'm not extreme in my avoidance either, so if it's a great movie I will see it, but if it's good I'll pass it over for something else that's good.
I doubt that's true. In Pennsylvania a horny prosecutor (his motivations were suspect, and he ran a bad girls boot camp) tried to go after a teen for sending a picture to a boy, the judge sided with the teens. Unless you find an example of the contrary I'm calling bullshit.
I've scratched five dollar screen protectors and 90 dollar screens, the protector was easier to replace too. Now I just make sure the phone is separate from keys to protect the screen, but the protector wasn't worthless.
In Canada they call them north American aboriginals if memory serves correctly. Native American being ambiguous and offensive to those of us that are more native to America than anywhere else, but not aboriginal.
The prices are not set because that's what they need to be to keep service, they prices are currently set to as high as possible. You only need to look at the profitability of the industry to see that. A large part of the reason it works (keeping prices to high) is that there are not enough practitioners in the US (look at doctors per capita for developed countries). It's a market, but it's a strongly manipulated market, as those that benefit from the lack of doctors are the ones that set the numbers.
Agreed, there's a lot of greedy doctors working to artificially limit the supply of doctors (look at how many they (the doctors) allow per capita in the US vs other countries). We pretend that the US healthcare system is a market, but it's clearly not, it's regulated (both self and by the government) to be specifically expensive.
Technology is making an individual mandate a requirement for a functional system going forward.
As more things become testable, less people will be incentivised to be in a group at all, this will drive up the cost for those at risk for various diseases. Insurance works best if everyone participates, medical tests will reduce participation.
If the $8k/year/citizen number is correct, it still seems likely that the UK is less expensive per a taxpayer.
Additionally, for the 16% uncovered in the US system, I'd assume the UK is definitely better. Also, having had a few different insurance plans in the US, I'd point out that the UK system was better than 2 out of the 3 plans I've had. It is true that for a small portion of the population the US system is dramatically better, and many it's slightly better though. This is also why the US system is making moves more towards a system like the French, or the Swiss, where the coverage is 100%, the cost (per citizen, which should proportionally be about per tax payer) is $5k, vs the $8k in the US (and as good as low end insurance is here in the US at a minimum).
Because I don't want to need a lawyer to get married?
Marriage (in the civil sense) is a contract to bring stability to each other and to society. I don't think you deserve your room mate's social security when they die for example. The benifits of marriage have a cost too, and it is consistent, making it affordable to separate and hitch up, as pretty much everything is handled via case law.
Wayland specifically isn't just about getting out of the way to speed up rendering, but to throw out old bad assumptions that cause ugliness in the brief time rendering does take to catch up.
Resizing a window is bad in Windows XP and before, worse in X, and excellent in OS X, it's not the rendering speed, it's the ugliness as the rendering catches up (random flickers, fills with gray, or old textrures off the top of my head).
You're correct, I was generalizing from other prohibitions that have happened (one example being Alcohol in the US, similar has happened with other drugs too).
The war on drugs fails by the definition you use (and by the one I would use, which is weather the government policy improves society or not). The war on drugs is devastating to society and public health, but common sense, and past prohibitions show us that it most likely has reduced usage (somewhat on the demand side most likely, and almost certainly dramatically on the supply side (look how rich drug lords get growing and distributing coke, vs farmers get with corn, one can see that this agricultural commodity is clearly artificially scare, the increased prices this scarcity cause DO reduce use (see heroin since the war on terror opened up the poppy growth in Afghanistan))).
Yest, and all of those people forgoing it (or using other companies for support even) keep the ecosystem thriving. Red Hat is good at competing with that. If they are the ones throwing on the code, they will be experts, they sell expertise and accountability.
Red Hat better hope that throwing on the code isn't all it takes. Being an Enterprise Linux company takes more than throwing code on top of the kernel, and that's why Red Hat made a billion dollars, and Slackware didn't (not trying to knock Slackware, just trying to contrast two fairly early distros I used 15 or so years ago).

Judges decisions are part of the law, as we live under a common law system.
Consistently nudes are not held to be child pornography, this is now part of the law.

This is why I stopped using them, well, after my G1 anyway, that thing had a crappy screen that scratched super easy.

First Nations is a subset I thought, haven't spent much time up here though, so I don't really know.

isn't the way insurance works by spreading cost?
What you describe sounds like a good first step (pull people at lower risk into the insurance pool).

To point (2).
Seems pretty likely that they will. I know the democrats did in 2008. Of course, a 180 was made on that policy after election.
Perhaps, but Salinas v. Texas basically decided you need to vocally state, or have stated to you the right.

Haven't been following SCOTUS, have you?
Great, there's one problem down. I guess, except not really.
I haven't been able to get video to work from/to a computer since the conversion.
This was to me Google Talk's killer feature. It just worked, and since basically everyone I knew used gmail, it just worked without any extra effort.
Not I am using Skype, which I hate (tries too hard to be always on, and makes noises for everything)
Also, without MMS, it doens't really allow me to use it as my main number.

I've never heard speakers know what they were saying at a political rally either.

If all it takes is the code, Red Hat is screwed.
