Carly would probably lay off Congress and ship all their jobs to India, spend 13 trazillion dollars to buy Somalia, end all federal highway and other infrastructure funds; and drive the dollar down to 1$ == 12 slices of bread.
So you're suggesting that a bill co-sponsored by 16 House Republicans (including 6 from Texas, home of JSC) rah-rahing manned space exploration and defunding Earth observations might somehow have ulterior motives?
Personally, I think that there are far more corrupt cops and corrupt politicians and so on who would abuse their authority than there are terrorists who can attack us.
Nice job, asshole. You're letting the terrists win. If WE say THEY are The Bad Guys(TM), then they're The Bad Guys, end of discussion. We have to keep data on everyone, just to keep The Bad Guys in check, and to keep YOU safe. Also, we need to be able to drone-strike any civilian at any point on the planet to protect your children and puppies and kittens from being indiscriminately killed by religious extremists living a Middle Ages lifestyle on the other side of the planet.
I was not arguing for teacher diversity* from a perspective of political correctness, I'm simply saying that we should not reject out-of-hand the notion that some groups learn better/more effectively from a member of their own race*.
Can you explain how third-generation Mexican-Americans speak English with a Spanish accent? Some cultures are more clannish than others, and outsiders will always BE outsiders.
We're a corporation, damn it. We should be allowed to do whatever we want, whenever we want it. Your petty concerns about the public airspace are needlessly impeding our relentless drive for profit profit profit. Maybe some generous campaign contributions will help you see things our way.
That requires change, our politicians seem to hate that.
And by that, you mean "big agribusiness" seems to hate that, because it restricts their ability to profit from socializing externalized costs. (i.e. dumping the problem onto society at large).
Don't hold your breath. I lost a 800K account years ago after one of their "upgrades"; seems they couldn't be bothered to parse a nick with a "special" character in it - the complete lack of give-a-fuck on their part was breathtaking. Hence my current nick.
Nah. Lots of corporate campaign contributions, a few Federal lawsuits, and then there'll be a lot of sound bites about "getting the government off our backs" and "deregulation" and "states rights" and hey presto! we'll be back to monopolistic rent-seeking before you know it.
The irony of your post vs your sig is delicious. Meanwhile, I can't help wondering how long it will take some future Republican administration to unroll this, so the big ISPs can go back to rent-seeking.

OK, you win the interwebs for today...

I presume you know that "mandatory" doesn't mean anything* when bankers of any ilk are involved?
*Actually, it means "tell me the rules, so I can get around them".
I'm not so sure that's true. I think that wearing an Apple watch even though it doesn't work, due to your rad ink might even make it hipper.
If you're running a TOR node and don't think you're on several government watch lists, then you haven't been paying attention.

Great idea. I'm going to stop using subroutines, too.
Probably more like "Docs out of date with production code, film at 11".
'HACK' or do not. There is no 'THINK'.
Now I have somewhere to put my advertised "unlimited retension" Usenet servers!

Well, in all fairness, they were instrumental in finding a cure for quadrophenia.

Virtual water is just a stopgap until they come up with 3D printed water.
You're just upset because hi's grammar is correcter than your's.

Maybe that would explain The Bad Thing That Happened when I pointed CVSROOT at /dev.
His Katra is with all of us, especially here on Slashdot; and he didn't even need to tell us "remember", we will anyways.
You need to re-read the PATRIOT act.
