I've looked beyond that but that's the most the wire services have out at the moment, since it was listed as "breaking" so yeah, good on them I guess, there will probably be more out in an hour or two. I'd like to know myself, if I find it I'll post it, unless someone beats me to it.
The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal by Jonathan Corbett, who wanted to challenge the Transportation Security Administration's use of full body scanners and/or enhanced pat downs at airport security lines. Federal courts in Florida refused to hear his lawsuit, saying it could only be filed with the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal, and the Supreme Court refused to reopen the case.
The TSA started allowing the use of the advanced imaging technology in October 2010.
This was actually pretty common here in North America back in the 1930's, people would make collect calls using a particular name, and the other person would simply refuse to accept the call. But since it was an agreed name they knew the other person arrived safely. Since the party line stuff is pretty much dead and we don't have KL/AL/BL numbers anymore, and the standard of living is high compared to 80 years ago, this doesn't happen much anymore.
Yeah but it reads out good for the ignorant masses, that's about it. For anyone with an IQ above room temperature this entire thing is just stupid and should never have made it to the front page of/. but look at the site shall we? It's going downhill even faster than it was a few years ago.
I remember them saying the same thing about Haley's comet too. I've got the original article out of either Time or OMNI on it saying that it'll be so bright it'll outshine the moon as well. I remember seeing it as a kid, it looked like a slow moving satellite.
Its still being paid for by tax dollars, but at least there is no additional fee to the parents, unless of course you have nothing to view them on.. so 'free' e-ink for all..
No matter what they claim the post you responded to is correct. If the UN declares power to tax, the US needs to leave the UN.
Oh I agree. Though I expect that the US won't leave, I would expect Canada to leave before the US if something happened like that though, especially since we're a massive export nation. We seem to be having much more of a backbone over sovereign issues with the UN than you guys down in the US are these days. And we don't have a constitution or bill of rights like you do.
Better tell that to the UN General Assembly. Because they just came back into session and their first meeting was to try and figure out how to tax stocks, bonds, trade, slap a 1% tax on billionaires, royalties on minerals/oil more than 100mi off shore of any nation, and supersede national sovereignty and so on. There's other sites picking it up now. But foxnews was first to break it, despite the whining that people on/. like to make. So credit goes to them first.
They're mandatory in Ontario and as far as I know, the entire province has them installed, so this could get very interesting to say the least. Or until the meters are all updated, well I was always against them to begin with. Our hydro rates have done nothing but increase since they've been installed. Right on track for 22c/KWH by 2016 baby! Gotta love it.
I do believe it's a box, with inverted walls which close in on you forever. The more you try to escape, the more they close in. That's how the machine always knows where you are...
It's a poorly controlled research study. Let's be realistic here, the majority of people on/. ate the same stuff 25-35 years ago that kids are eating today. The only difference is what? Ads might have gotten a big flashier. The food portions in the boxes have gotten smaller, and what you buy has shrunk in size when you get that 1/4 pounder hamburger.
I don't crave anything anymore than what I did then, and my parents indulged us as kids too. Oddly we don't eat out other than maybe once every two weeks if that as a treat to ourselves. The difference is as you said, parents who simply feed it to kids every day. Moderation is the key, much like kids who sit on their backsides and go DUURRRrrrrrr...at the TV/computer/etc. I honestly hate mc donalds well outside of their fillet o'fish sandwhiches, which are pretty tasty.
What kind of dumbfuck utility would agree to pay $0.30-0.80/KWh when their production cost is an order of magnitude lower? Massively subsidising "green" energy may be an "easy" answer, but it's not a reasonable one.
I'd say plenty of them, it's right common in Canada, very common in Europe, and it happens quite a bit in the US. Greece is paid $0.30-75/KWh for solar and wind. Germany is paying around the same, in fact it's so bad in Germany that nearly 1m people can no longer afford power because their FiT programs have driven the cost of power so high. It happens in the US as well there's plenty of stories on it as well. I'm just far too lazy right now to start digging through for articles on it.
There's an easy answer. They could simply build some wind mills or slap in some solar panels and then have the utility pay them at 30-80c/Kwh via a FiT(feed in tariff) like we dohere in Ontario for green energy. I'm sure that it would all balance out in time.
Right then. Could you remind us then why the said appointed commission successfully managed to overthrow two democratically elected governments in the EU(Greece and Italy) on the threat of "no more money" unless the the heads of said governments left, and they held new elections. Separation of powers indeed. That's not separation of powers, and that's not democracy in action.
The wording of s.7 is explicit. "each province may exclusively make laws" this isn't a federal issue as I stated before, rather a provincial one. And in turn, the CA didn't dictate healthcare. It stated that provinces may make laws regarding matters concerning the establishment of said things above(buildings or individual organizations as it saw fit). Not that they would operate publicly funded healthcare. Those are two fundamentally different things.
The wrong people are already in charge. EU Commission is appointed, not elected, They don't take their direction from EU voters, they take their direction, mostly it seems from non-EU governments and lobbyists. ACTA was the rule not the exception.
And the last time I told people on/. that the EU was a defacto dictatorship in the making people called me insane because there was a massive organization over the top that's appointed. Hah. Yeah, sure I'm the crazy one. You know your post just scratches the surface, these are the same ones that pushed through the "monetary fiat" rule that lets them basically turn on the printing presses of every EU member and bankrupt them, without any say-so of the elected government. If I remember right, the amount they're allowed to print is somewhere around 1T per member state. Yeah, so...enjoy that...
There's nothing in the constitution act that dictates healthcare. Technically the CA predates minus small revisons the CHA. You might want to go read the Canada Health Act. which is what defines who is responsible. The provinces, not the feds. Unless the a 3rd party determines that the province is grossly negligent to the point where the federal government is required to take over under the CHA.
Except in Canada we do have for profit health care, it's regulated by the provinces under the each provinces healthcare act. We even have several for-profit clinics in operation or rather I should say we did, like Shouldice(hernias) which was one of the best in the world.
Meh let me point this out like I have several times in the past. The difference between Canadian healthcare and Obamacare is this: The provinces(aka state level) is responsible(unless something is seriously screwed up). Not the federal government, unless there are very specific cases(natives, or military or territories). Leaving the federal government in charge of something as important as healthcare is disastrous. Anyone who thinks that Obamacare is a good idea needs to get their head out of their ass.
Beh. Government is the objective standard of society working as the whole. When one person can't do it, it's the group doing it for everyone else with the express consent of what they're agreeing to(by election/vote/consent/etc). A person can give up on government if they want, there's nothing stopping any person in a western country from going off the grid and going to live off in a hermitage, or the wilds or anything else. This is the whole basis of the social contract, and there's a far better works written on that then what I could even cram into/. text box.
Obviously it has to do with exposing the general ignorance on/. what did you think it had to do with? Then again, what did your original reply have to do with "infringing copyright?"
Here's the difference, bigotry would imply that it's unjustified in calling for something. Except their own actions speak louder than words. And no, many people wouldn't you'll find that many of the atheists here won't touch mulsims with a 10ft pole on any issue for fear of inflaming their 'passions' and all that. Religion in itself isn't bad, people are bad. Then again, western civilization wouldn't be what it is without religion now would it? Especially since the enlightenment period was a direct result of the reformations.

Pretty typical for Obama, leading from behind.

Kinda reminds me of the communist faction in Tropico> where he chants: Communism is upon us! Today free housing, tomorrow free EVERYTHING! Of course if you look at your budget details, everything on your island jumps in price by about 30%. Indeed...it's free...
From the savings of lower education costs.
Robbing peter to pay paul does not result in lower education costs.
