Considering recent events, I bet if this concerned a liberal instead of a libertarian, ICE would seize the domain a declare it as belonging to that liberal politician and the justices would turn a blind eye on it.
Which recent events make you want to bet that way?
...it doesn't actually look like Paul is guilty of anything but refusing to accept a settlement that was unreasonable in the first place.
So, in Libertopia someone who wants something gets to decree what makes an exchange offer unreasonable, and use some ruling body to force the other party to hand it over if they don't lower their price?
Libertopia must be nice... if you're part of the in crowd that gets whatever you want. Too bad for everyone else.
But yet when it comes to ransoming someone's health care, general health, or basic safety then it's fine to let the "free market" decide what that's worth without any regulation?
Ron Paul nutters like to live in their pretend amazing free market world until it actually bites them in the ass and then it's just not fair!
Actually, for the most part, the "limited government" crowd just doesn't want anyone telling *them* what to do. This will be an outrage because the government is letting some nobody interfere with what his all-important self wants.
The latest Scientific American has an article about a newish bayesianized quantum theory. To the limited extent that I understand it, the wave function is just the bayesian priors - what you think before you collect the evidence. The only thing that collapses when you measure something is your ignorance about the state of the universe.
I think Mother Theresa would choose not to print anything. She was a friend of poverty, not of the poor, and considered suffering to be a state of grace. She was a rather nasty piece of work, who kept the poor in poverty, and prevented many dying people from getting access to medicine.
The two causes are not mutually exclusive, and I say this as a gun enthusiast who would not fire a 3D-printed gun with his own 2 hands.
I shoot with my 3D printed hand. You should see the looks on peoples' faces when I have my hands in the air, and suddenly the 3D printed hand whips out a 3D printed gun and shoots them right between the eyes.
Your conclusion is probably right, but one workaround would be for Congress to grant the utilities big bucks to fix it, whereupon entrepreneurs with solutions (and con artists with "solutions") would pop up all over. That would take care of (1), (2), and (4).
Not sure I like that suggestion, but admittedly it is in our national interest to do something about it.
I vaguely remember reading that our national grids are a mere hop and a skip of the Grim Reaper, even without cyberattacks.

Why not just take a little piece of paper, and write "see other side" on both sides?

Not edgy, like the previous thread?

So you're saying she was a Republican?
Mother Theresa would print a Plastic Jesus for the Popemobile, and Gandhi would print a dildo for Mother Theresa.
WWJP?

At least 90% of the results I see from government-funded 'science' look to be a total waste of my tax dollars.
Given a randomly selected tax-funded scientific research project, 99% of us aren't qualified to say whether it is or isn't a waste of tax dollars.
You would have been more persuasive if you'd used all-caps on more words.
Perhaps you mean that you'd "guess that already 95% of people working in the IT field are autistic".
(or is that observation too obsessively detail oriented?) (you have no idea how long I struggled with where to put "already"... )
You're confusing "autistic" with "anal retentive".
Zero in on the source of the cyberattack, and end it.
Ummmm... and if the attack originates in a highly distributed bot-net? What about the script-kiddie is on US soil?
Or professionals launching the attacks from script kiddies' compromised machines.
Iran had airgaps too, but that didn't protect them against Stuxnet. Air-gaps are good, but not sufficient.
Problem with air gaps is, most people have an air gap between their ears.

Tuner. It's tuner you illiterate tool.
No, it's 'tuna'.
Do not install Xbox One in the bedroom and/or avoid having sex in the same room as your Xbox One.
Which room does your Xbox One have sex in?
One Tool to "do" them all, and in the darkness * them.
What the hell is wrong with their numbering conventions? They went from Xbox 360 to Xbox 1? Are they starting all over again from version 1?
No, they just switched to a mod 360 versioning system.
If you have an XBox 360, why go with something 359 releases out of date?
Actually they use 8.491853096 bits to store the version number, so "One" is overflowese for "361".
(3 quatloos for whoever spots the problem with that first.)
I think the Vampires vs. Zombies genre is just now heating up.
I'll only watch if the main character is a popular dead president.
Maybe he'll be the vampire this time.
Company Spokesman: Surely you don't think it's our fault.
Company Spokesman: Especially if it's going to cost us money.
Now I can upgrade the Man v. Neanderthal first-person stabber that I've been working on to a first-person thrower.
