The 2012 US election turnout was around 58%, with only three states having less than 50% turnout (Oklahoma, Texas and W. Virginia). While there could be plenty of vote tampering, doing it on that scale would involve many thousands of people and would require balls the size of an aircraft carrier. So that's probably not the case here.
And there's not as many feelgood stories about Chinese refugees being picked up by the Coast Guard while swimming across the ocean on a raft made out of an old Chevy to escape their homeland.
From Homeland Security's website: ---------- To become a citizen at birth, you must: - Have been born in the United States or certain territories or outlying possessions of the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States; OR - had a parent or parents who were citizens at the time of your birth (if you were born abroad) and meet other requirements
To become a citizen after birth, you must: - Apply for “derived” or “acquired” citizenship through parents - Apply for naturalization ---------- You'll notice that there is no way to become a citizen *before* birth. An abortion happens *before* birth, therefore no, fetuses are not citizens and would not count.
You find me a US citizen who has no information in any of the databases that Healthcare.gov connects to. They'd have to have no birth (or death) records, no SS#, no driver's license, no registered vehicles, no house, no legal spouse, never filed a tax return, no credit card, no bank accounts... even in the most backwoods redneck areas of the country, you'd have trouble finding someone that doesn't exist in any government database.
How many commercial companies would have this much customer data at risk? If Target loses a few million credit card numbers, all consumers have to do to be safe is cancel the card and get a new one... my CC company is doing automatically for anyone that they suspect has been compromised. However, Healthcare.gov has access to SS numbers, addresses, phone numbers, driver's license numbers and God knows what else. Not only is it damned hard to change some of those, but even if you succeed you could be ruined for the rest of your life. There's plenty of people out there who can't get credit or apply for many jobs *for the rest of their life* because of clerical errors and many more who have criminals opening credit in their names (one of the main goals of identity theft) that those people are now liable for. You would hope that they would invest a little more into securing it than a commercial entity would invest in just securing credit card numbers.
It was a pretty obvious reference to the American Founding Fathers (the UK founding fathers would make no sense in this context) and the US Constitution/Bill of Rights. The fact that it's in the UK means that the American Founding Fathers and Constitution is irrelevant to this story.
I once saw a flock in F formation meet up with a flock in U formation. I think they might be the descendants of the birds I pissed off with a BB gun when I was a child.
That might make sense if they were selling their product. While they do sell some things, it's more akin to a Boy Scout bakesale because their main product is still given away.
According to the local fisherman, several 747s and at least one Russian space capsule have been swallowed whole by jumping fish. At 20,000 feet. In a blizzard. Uphill both ways.
He seems to have gotten this on sale after Christmas for $500. However, I bought my three 22" monitors on eBay (new) for about $80 each. The 39" still has slightly more total area, but I find window management easier on multiple monitors (especially using only Windows 7's built-in window management).

It's a pretty ugly vehicle, but there's some tough competition for "ever made". Even if you only count mass-produced cars.

So it's not just the Miss Universe pageant that is rigged to only choose Earthlings...

Even in a somewhat broken democratic republic, it takes more than the 1% to vote in the 1%...
In other words, "Don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies."
I have a Tandy in my basement that will turn 30 this November. Still runs too, but they don't seem to make new software for it anymore...
Then they wouldn't be citizens, would they?

Considering the IRS is responsible for collecting the "tax" for not having healthcare, you can be damned sure they're tied in.

69,000 of those records are actually just "F1RST P0ST!". Just like a typical Slashdot article.

Not having stuff in beta hasn't exactly stopped other companies from making changes any time they like.
For every person that posts to complain, a thousand more can't remember their Google+ password.
That's the way I've done it, or else just using the word "near" (e.g. "Catholic confessionals near bars of questionable repute").
I didn't know about "Search Nearby" until my fiancee asked me where it had gone.
I never used "Search Nearby", so what was the difference between that and putting "brothels near 1600 pennsylvania avenue washington dc"?
Your logic makes Spock cry tears of copper based blood.

If a developer is developing for any one display size, be in 4k or 800x600, then he's a crappy developer and no monitor will help.
Just reminds me of Randy Johnson hitting a dove with a fastball.
