It's weird that you say something is lightyears ahead of something else because it is backwards compatible. While this may make Samsung pay more useful, I don't think it represents any technical breakthrough on their part, but rather an intentional choice to make their product more useful. I'm not sure how much more useful, since the magnetic terminals are supposed to be phased out already (IIRC).
Take a real scandal (NSA) and link it to a fake one (IRS). If you are stupid enough to make your organization's name sound like it's that of a political party, you can expect extra scrutiny. The reason I know there was no real suppression is that Crossroads GPS got its tax-exempt status and then spent millions on the election, "educating" voters to vote for Mitt Romney. Where was the outrage from Stockman when President W. Bush was firing US Attorney's who prosecuted Republican politicians?
Here's where Snowden crossed the line from whistle blower to traitor. When he allegedly revealed that we had tapped German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone. This was a legitimate piece of spycraft that he revealed to our enemies and allies. Now you may say, should we be spying on Germany? Well, you'd be naive if you believed the German's weren't spying on us in some fashion.
I'm not convinced the NSA is collecting more information about me than Google is, or whoever puts the ads for stuff I look at in Amazon on other web pages.
I bought a refurbished Wii from GameStop, still had the previous owner's saved games, Netflix account (which works by the way), credits on the Nintendo store. They made no effort to clean the system whatsoever.
The $1 bill is useful for everyday transactions, the $100 bill is useful for gamblers in Las Vegas and drug dealers. While I have no problem with the former, making it more difficult for drug dealers to do business seems like a good policy. Also, it would be two fewer bills that we would have to worry about people counterfeiting.
Copyright should be 5 years, penalties for violating copyright should be large enough to discourage willful copyright violations (i.e criminal, not civil). After 5 years, copyright is gone, want more money? do more work!
...or read a table is complaining about higher education. Ohio State University doesn't have 16,000+ out of state students, it has 11,442 (according to the document the post links to). Foreign students are included in that number. There are 52,635 Ohioans, 11,442 non-Ohioans for a total enrollment of 64,077.

Summer Olympics should only be in Athens, and pick a cold city to have the Winter Olympics in and never change it.
Completely idiotic. People who advocate for the metric system are mostly self-aggrandizing braggarts.
Which sounds more impressive:
How far did you run?
1 mile. or
1609 meters.

Technically, I said he was a traitor, but your point is taken.

Well, if you're a child, you probably shouldn't take aspirin for a fever.

I'm pretty sure you mean 1:30 PDT, not 1:30 PST.

I hide them, and when Facebook asks me why I choose "sexually explicit."

Okay, honestly there are very few things that I look up on google that I would drive to a library to research.

Don't we just put those people in sexually segregated camps?
