The government should just stop recognizing marriage.
(the big downside there would likely be companies that stopped extending health benefits to families of employees. I can't think of any other real big ones (most other stuff can easily be handled with contracts))
You are playing a definition game. McCarthy wasn't simply looking for Communists, he was looking for a threat to the American way of life. Oddly enough, it wasn't there.
Uh-huh, because the html5 developers aren't deaf to that segment of the content production market. 10 years ago, no open standard was anywhere near flash.
I never asserted that businesses pass all expenses on to consumers, but all you did was make an assertion, you didn't discuss why you think the various components would fall in favor of your assertion.
(For instance, they may, after a tax cut, choose to cut prices...)
Why are we electing people who bother paying back the people that supposedly paid to put them in office?
There aren't any legal consequences if you take some election funds and then screw those people over, you just don't get reelected (or maybe you do...).
Are you a resident of Washington? If not, why worry about it?
If they were really clever, they would cut all corporate income taxes (and maybe make up for it with slight increases in personal income taxes). Imagine the outrage from neighboring states!!
It isn't really even a problem under XP (as long as the drive is formatted with a tool that is aware of the new sector size, so that the logical sectors of the operating system line up with the physical sectors of the drive; Western Digital, the crazy fools, have a tool that will make sure this is the case...).
(I did at one point create an Abe Simpson (or something similar) account so that I could post stuff like Maaatloooocck and seeeeeeeeeeex, but I never used it before I lost track of the password)

The Constitution (of the United States) doesn't necessarily enjoin states and other more local forms of government.
Indeed. They now mean nothing.
Like before.
I would love to see Apple's internal numbers for complaints that such and such video site doesn't work, while Youtube works just fine.

Democracy is a compromise, not something that requires or benefits from belief.
"I used to believe in forcing my neighbors to do things, but then they started forcing me to do things."
Yeah, but the point is more that the Verizon brand is only 10 years old.
Verizon, formerly known as Bell Atlantic (and GTE)...
It isn't terribly catchy, but you could go with something like "That shitty company that used to be called Comcast."
So we can make comments about it.
Or they see no benefit (or perhaps negative effects) to (excessive) software fragmentation.
They have generally shown themselves to be rather pragmatic (as a business should).
Did you miss the joke? GP quotes Armstrong's words from after they had already landed .
Which is true of pretty much all e-readers, including the Kindle.
(largely because not supporting a plain text file would be nuts)
The Sony readers all have support for DRM.
They should have aborted. He wouldn't think it was so funny after that.
Step 1: Land ISS.
Step 2: Test Fit
Step 3: Spend 20 years and billions of dollars reorbiting ISS.
The Mars Climate Orbiter crashed because some software loaded data from a file and made (incorrect) assumptions about the units of the data.
Only allowing data to be stored in metric units would likely reduce the likelihood of such a mistake, but it would not eliminate it altogether.
Aren't the speed limits about the same?
Or do you mean the numbers used to represent the limits are higher?

Yes, they do. They paid a (large) one time dividend a few years ago and have been paying a quarterly dividend since then:
