    I wish we had a "three strikes" law for politicans. If you propose or sponsor Constitutionally illegal laws more than twice in your career, you get immediately shit-canned.

    I don't actually live in Clay county, but I work less than 2 miles away & I have a lot of friends that do live their, including a co-worker who's mom is a teacher in Clay.

    Meanwhile, here & Clay county they don't have enough money to pay for the public schools. Next school year when a teacher is out, instead of getting a substitute, they will split the class & send them to another teacher's class for the period. Instead of having ~30 kids in a class, the teacher will now have 45+.

    But oddly enough Clay County has money to spend on ridiculous billboards for the Clay County sheriff's office. There are 5 or 6 of them, at least two of them on Blanding Blvd, which is one of the the busiest roads (therefore expensive) in both counties.

  11. Re:Inevitable post recommending Foxit Reader on Adobe Confirms PDF Zero-Day, Says Kill JavaScript · · Score: 2, Informative

    I routinely create, view & print really big PDFs. When comparing FoxIt & Adobe the time difference between opening & printing a E-sized PDF on my machine is huge. FoxIt blows Adobe completely out of the water in every manner I can think of.

    Most of the time Adobe will never actually print anything out, or if it does, it will be missing elements.

    Being a libertarian, I don't really have a dog in this fight, I think that most politicians are crooks. But do you have any idea how irrational & childish you sound?

    There is a huge difference between wanting your country out of a war & wanting your country to *lose* a war.

    They've been making paper speakers for a long time. This seems to be a driverless paper speaker, which apparently is a big deal. I guess technically the prepolarized diaphragm *is* the driver, but it isn't your standard cone / cylinder shape.
