Unacceptable. Think what Really Really Really Bad could do with ten years in power! Plus they'd entrench so throughly they'd be all but impossible to remove.
That only works if you believe the two main parties are equally no good. If you believe one of them is Really Bad and the other Really Really Really Bad, then what are you to do? You have to vote for the Really Bad party, lest the even worse one wins.
Subtle legal distinctions like that matter a lot. If the park is merely public in practice but private in law, that's completly different from being a legal public park.
Yes, there are. That's how US politics works. Third-party candidates just are not serious candidates. The last time I checked, there was just a single member of congress not affiliated with one of the big two.
Do what? Politics isn't working very well - there are two parties and both serve the rich. There aren't the numbers or popular support for a revolution, and historically those things tend to turn out rather poorly anyway. The protestors want to do something, but there just isn't much they can.
The only reason the protestors are in the park is because the police made it clear they'll arrest anyone who dares to actually protest near wall street. The park is designated a 'free speech zone' because it's far enough out of the way that no-one will see them.
What happens to the bulls? They don't produce milk. I imagine something similar to how male chicks are treated in the egg industry - as soon as the calves are born, the males would be killed.
I use a similar line to squick my mother about her 'free range' eggs. In the egg industry, half of all chicks are worthless, as they turn out to be male. Not only meaning no eggs, but not so well-behaved as the hens for meat production too. So for every egg-producing hen, there is a significent lack of a cock... they get killed immediatly after sexing, in the most efficient industrial-line process that could be designed. The industry calls it "instantaneous euthanasia" to try to hide exactly how because the process, while essentially painless due to the sheer speed, is also so violently messy that it would make many potential customers feel ill or - even worse - stop buying eggs.
You can, but only if you know how. An unrestricted diet is a simple matter of stuffing enough plants and some meat down your esophagus - it's not complicated. Vegan diets require you take the time to learn a bit about nutrition and read the labels.
I think there may be an inbuilt human instinct to class people as 'my tribe' and 'not my tribe.' Deprive people of the chance to discriminate based on race, religion, nationality and such and you'll find the instinct directs elsewhere. Into political polarisation, for example. Or sports team fans. What is a football riot if not an expression of tribal war?
Free markets can be powerful things, but they cannot change the laws of physics. There has to be a limit. Even if they build giant dome-fields to reduce water loss, artifically increase the CO2 level inside and apply artificial sunlight at night... though by that point, food would be very expensive.
They do let the vox populi have it's say on issues on no great importance - thus why one of the biggest political issues of our time is gay marriage. What does gay marriage or the lack thereof actually do? Nothing at all. Which is why politicians love it so. They can pose, they can pander, they can play all their political games and chase votes, but in the end there is no chance they'll actually do anything that might upset the big money.
Pirates tend to be very fussy about saving space. They often specify a lower bitrate for the credits, barely enough to read the text, so they can make the files just that little bit smaller.
Because it'd be logistically impossible to enforce copyright online to any higher standard than 'that looks a bit dodgy, pull it down.' It's almost impossible to enforce it even with the evidence-free standard of the DMCA.
I recall Snow Crash had cars with wheels like that, though their purpose was to improve performance and comfort on unmaintained, decaying, pothole-cratered roads.
Acceleration should be doable with a good computer control system. Forwards, stop, driver flips forward, then accelerate *hard* before he faceplants. Brakeing would still be a problem though. Brake too hard and you break the driver.
1. Wash hands.
2. Apply superglue to fingertips.
3. Wash again.
It sets instantly on contact with skin and forms a water-impermiable layer to prevent fresh sweat getting through. The only problem is you might be too clean, and a well-programmed tester would recognise an attempted fraud from the complete lack of sweat to test.
I understand the standard practice is for the prosection to offer a plea bargin: "Plead guilty, and we'll go easy. Sure, you'll have a criminal record and a short stay in jail, but that's it. Or you could fight this. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll lose... and if you lose, we're going to utterly destroy your life, jail you for years, render you unemployable and pry through your personal records for any hint of wrongdoing we can use to add more charges."

Hmm.... no meat, no eggs, no dairy. So what exactly is it that distinguishes them from vegans?

Good enough for burgers. Who is going to tell the difference after mincing?

1) Take it down, right now, no questions.
2) Become liable for a claim for damages according to the DMCA.
Unless the recipient is willing to risk great financial loss just to prove a point, it's really no contest.

Soldered on is the usual way to connect an Atom. As the Atom is an embedded processor, it's not expected to be upgradeable.

That windshield is so obviously useless, I wonder if it's sole purpose is to satisfy some strange state motor-safety standard.
That, and private enforcement. Many companies test their employees routinely.
