It is absolutely NOT a contest, but the most frequent response I get -- usually from people that themselves are from the midwest or something -- is that I wouldn't be speaking the same way if I lived in/near NYC and that terrorism is a very real threat. It isn't.
Incidentally, you and I seem to agree and my typo is responsible for this exchange. That was SUPPOSED to read:
I don't see it as a dollar not spent protecting Americans from terrorists [as I do not find this to be a worthwhile use of money], I see it as a dollar spent NOT from protecting Americans from poverty and joblessness,"
...my argument, poorly made apparently, was that I would not in a million years redirect this money to anti-terrorism measures, I'd direct them to things that are actually needed like education, jobs, infrastructure, what have you. I agree with the earlier poster that the money shouldn't be spent on what it is, but strongly disagree that it's getting in the way of "necessary" anti-terrorism measures.
Every dollar spent on security theater is a dollar not being spent on actually protecting Americans from terrorists. If every TSA screener were fired, and those tax dollars were spent on intelligence analysts, there would be a net gain in terms of national security. Even if every TSA screener were fired and the tax dollars were used to pay off the national debt we would be better off. "Wasted tax dollars" refers to uses of tax money that does not help the people, and may even be detrimental to the people, which is the situation we face with the security screenings.
I don't see it as a dollar not spent protecting Americans from terrorists, I see it as a dollar spent from protecting Americans from poverty and joblessness, which are REAL problems affecting citizens, unlike the threat of terrorism. And I live four miles from NYC so don't go talking up the 9/11 bullshit.
I just traveled on two flights this week with a prescription. I called it "medically necessary liquid" and was not asked anything more about it. 1 bottle was 8 oz, the other two were 4 oz. All larger than the allowable size, and all without a word. There could have been anything in there. Now, as I used those liquids on the plane, I'm happy that there is an exception (as I was a couple of years ago when I had a throat issue that meant all I could really deal with was meal replacement shakes, which I also brought on board), but it invalidates the whole process. One time I even brought a big bottle of No-Ad sun tan lotion on the plane, just by mistake, and it wasn't detected. That must have been 20oz or more.
The only good thing that came out of the liquids ban is that a few more people now check their luggage instead of carrying all of their crap on board and delaying the plane.
Well, beyond the reason that I pull my battery most often (for more power), I have to say that it would surprise me very much to hear that it NEVER needs its battery pulled. For something to absolutely never lock up would surprise me.
I'm uncomfortable with this as it is likely mental illness related. I'm not comfortable executing someone who has compulsive behavior (though I am against all executions anyway -- let's try to be better than criminals).
What I've since noticed is that using Fn+number keys (the alternate numbers, not the primary top row) does not work on my laptop for typing the numbers (though your mouse trick does work).
2048x2048 is the max size. That's ordinarily plenty for me, but I agree, this is just a place to show them off and NOT where one should keep their originals.
Your contributions to this forum are moronic and you deserve every bit of down-modding that you get.
The Red Cross' blood service is a SEVERAL BILLION DOLLAR business. You don't know what you're talking about. Greedy pockets? Please. This is old and still true: http://www.bloodbook.com/part-4.html
Practically everything you've written here has been libelous and false.
Oh yeah, so very likely that EVERY UNION MEMBER YOU'VE SEEN has physically attacked you. I'm willing to bet you've never been physically attacked by a union member.
Oh come on. Have you never been involved in a job where the boss asked how to do something, you said "this way," then the boss ignored you and insisted on doing it a shitty way that was either cheaper or easier for them to understand? Being skilled and being the decisionmaker are two completely different things.
Yeah, which the NLRB is currently suing Boeing for, so apparently they have a leg to stand on. Apparently your definition of fair includes moving the company to another state where they can take advantage of shitty labor laws.
You remain an ill-informed moron who takes anecdotal evidence in a couple of cases and thinks that he's qualified to speak for every union in the country. I suppose you'd try to argue with me against the fact that most companies are about greed, kickbacks, and getting money for the management.

Linksys RV082 is a cheaper alternative. I'm not 100% sure how the routing works, but it seems to me it accounted for downed links.
The one that my church uses has a 2 WAN option:

Not a home class one, but only $260.

"Fewer" for things you can count.
Well, beyond the reason that I pull my battery most often (for more power), I have to say that it would surprise me very much to hear that it NEVER needs its battery pulled. For something to absolutely never lock up would surprise me.
They were not feeble, they just were a little to late to make the impact they needed to. I have one of their phones now and it's great.
Good thing too, as it's not as if you can pull the battery on an iPhone.
I agree that it was an initial overreaction, but his response somewhat shows that it's quite possible that it was the right course of action.

The weather forecast for the whole day was basically cloudy except for 11-12. Glorious. I watched from Space View Park.
I was born 6 months later. I basically grew up with this thing. Was glad to make it to the last launch to see it off!

Hey, Iceland is a fairly interesting place, IMO.
No it does not. Dell Latitude E6420. The E6520 has its own numeric keyboard.
Amusingly enough, Slashdotter.

Sure enough, all of my vacation photos uploaded that way are gone gone gone.
My new laptop has no NUMLOCK key, you insensitive clod!
Yes, seriously. Weird, eh?

Nope. For example, San Francisco's is $9.92. I'm not saying for sure that there are any that are $10.50, but you still haven't found the highest one.
