I'm just inordinately thrilled to be able to use the phrase correctly for once. Really grinds my gears when people say it instead of saying "forces me to ask the question" or something similar.
There is something to be said for the Interstate Commerce Clause placing this into Federal jurisdiction rather than State, but that would be a very massive change and would probably be better suited for the Supreme Court rather than either the Legislative or Judicial branches.
Finally a legitimate use for the Interstate Commerce Clause, and the ball is dropped.
I don't care about the Start menu; I don't spend much time in there, and even if I did, if I can't figure something that simple out I should stick to plumbing. The really annoying thing is that every file association now has to be redone to stop bringing up Modern (Metro) apps, and I have to be careful to install the Desktop versions of software I want.
That is the PITA, but it's so minor that I still use Win 8.x because yes, it's better than 7 overall.
Some of the low energy consumption 386 or 486 systems with monochrome displays had extremely good battery life back in the day, and people really did do useful work with them.
Some of the smart watches out there look OK; for instance the Martian Watches Passport SmartWatch looks like a reasonable timepiece, has a reported 1 week battery life, and does some simple Dick Tracy stuff while still managing to be a wristwatch.
If it had a separate power supply or some way to use the last bit of the main supply strictly as a watch with a 6 month reserve for essential functions I'd probably buy that.
But most of them are little phone gadgets for your wrist that will require charging daily, or nearly daily. Useless.
I never had the service but I think it was billing address, any location services available on the platform and IP geolocation. Nothing is perfect but they did seem serious about restricting access to the market a person was in.
When I initially checked I wasn't in a serviced area and getting around the restrictions seemed possible but not worth the effort due to the physical address validation. Paying for a mail forwarding service in NYC just to watch NBC? Nah. Then they came to my town, and then they got shut down. We'll see how it pans out now.
No, but the TSA's complete lack of actually stopping a terrorist, ever, is not a matter of opinion. They perform a very expensive theater and marketing routine.
Aereo never showed content outside the broadcast coverage area and I don't see evidence they intend to now. This has been pointed out slightly less than a million times so far in similar threads, and is blatantly obvious if one visits the company site.
Hobby Lobby covers some forms of birth control. Other companies currently litigating against the mandate don't want to cover any form of birth control. For example, Wheaton College or Eden Foods. The ruling simply stated that "closely held" corporations with "sincere religious beliefs" could opt out of providing birth control.
Providing birth control is a treatment, not a medicine. Many medicines and devices can be used in multiple sorts of treatment regimes. I've not seen any evidence that a person who was prescribed (for example) hormone pills chemically identical to BC for the purpose of mitigating cysts could be denied coverage of that treatment.
Not covering BC at all is OK for me really, as would be not covering Viagra or any other sort of lifestyle choice medical interventions. Whether or not to cover those sorts of things being up to the company seems fair.
Actually. Many more than you think? Just in Canada recently a border crossing gone wrong for 4 alleged terrorist resulted in 40 arrests of a group planning acts of terrorism.
First, citation needed, second, has how much to do with discharged devices on airplanes?
How many terrorists have the TSA caught and prosecuted? I forget what their rate per million dollars is again? The link I gave is to the blog of an actual security expert, world renowned no less. Take it or leave it is up to you. Horse, water, drink, etc.
As far as birth control as medicine goes, the organization will still object to it because, while it is being used as a medicine, it is still serving its birth control function as well.
I don't see anything that makes me think that's a settled fact, or that it would be covered by this. The wording in the ruling seems very specific. Additionally, birth control is covered by Hobby Lobby.
However, this ruling would give an employer the right to say "we object to this because of 'religious reasons' so we're not going to cover it in your employer provided health care." Then, if we wanted this device to manage my wife's medical condition, we'd be forced to pay full cost out of pocket.
What information in the ruling are you basing this on?
I'm not sure this is true. I'm not sure it's false either, but being exempted from paying for a specific form of BC seems different than being exempted from paying for a specific medicine. Many medicines have multiple clinical uses.
Maybe if the "window" was a huge display with enhanced angle of view and live overlays they WOULD have though. It seems like this is the point of the invention more or less.

I've been caught. Shit.
I'm just inordinately thrilled to be able to use the phrase correctly for once. Really grinds my gears when people say it instead of saying "forces me to ask the question" or something similar.
Yeah, I guess it's actually a case of begging the question.
In fact, you might be exasperating the problem.
I hate it when my problems get angry, it usually just exacerbates things.

Everything with mass orbits about themselves in a massive n-body problem. I don't think it's as simple as you make it sound.

Good point.
It's a fact however that they didn't do that, and it's been discussed ad nauseum.
What would an organic RF pulse look like?

TSA. This is about the TSA, I asked about the TSA.
I never doubted the effectiveness of the FBI. Still waiting for the TSA to catch anything bigger than a cold.

No, but I trust actual experts, like this one.

You never want to make landing harder than it needed to be.
Right, and the entire point is to make flying (and landing) easier the vast majority of the time by enhancing what can be seen, right?
