For someone trying to resolve one of the shortened urls, having a working mechanism present on the domain is a lot less important than having the database (for instance, say bit.ly shut down, Twitter could put in place a mechanism where users could press a button and some program would go through their spew and replace all the bit.ly references with something else, having the service running on bit.ly isn't real important for things like that).
It is interesting how strongly he carried the black vote, especially when you consider that his father was not African-American (which is at least a reasonable label for part of the culture of the U.S.) and his mother was a white woman.
I posted a rather narrow response to a specific criticism (a single particular lack of disclosure), you don't really have any idea what color my glasses are. You have posted another situation where the administration is not ramping to maximum transparency, but that doesn't quite get me to 'pattern'.
(I am pretty much unsurprised that things haven't changed a whole lot...)
Well, the fact that the TSA hasn't changed their culture is a pretty bald statement of exactly how powerful the President is (and it demonstrates that there is a difference between his legal powers and his powers to change reality).
That isn't what happened. Basically, the guy probably shouldn't have ever been arrested, as most of the evidence they gathered pointed to him not being the individual who committed the crime..
I wasn't any more impressed with Barr than the other two (and Nader would be Obama without any of the sanity). FWIW, this is a 'voting booth' behavior for me, not a general behavior, I give consideration to each candidate prior to the election, and so forth, I would argue that party-line voters are a much more significant problem than I am.
What are they? I don't have an annual fee, and I haven't had a late fee or an overdraft fee (ever...), and I don't take out cash from ATMs with my credit card (the interest rate they offer on cash is murder). Hell, I pay off my balance every month, so I don't even pay interest.
The only fee I see is slightly higher prices that stores charge to cover the costs of accepting credit, and they usually are charging cash purchases the same price anyway.
If you think his ability to make changes is so great that he could have changed everything by now, you are a damn fool. If you vote as if politicians will quickly achieve all of their stated goals regardless of the opposition they may face, you are poison.
(I voted for Obama, but mostly because he wasn't McCain-Palin, not because I thought he was going to be so different than his predecessors)
Are HEB and Foodtown closer to a Super-Walmart or something?
The store I shop at doesn't have an affinity card, but I'm sure they track me by my credit card, and I also have this paranoid fantasy that the store coupons (that the register prints) are individually numbered (allowing them to associate purchases across cards and such).
No, I meant that if it isn't seriously damaging (with an emphasis on seriously), society can probably get away with just telling the victim to suck it up (and cases of truly anonymous, damaging lies are going to be pretty rare anyway, most people don't really care about what other people think, they just want to think that other people like them).
As far as the other thing, of course they aren't mutually exclusive, but the grandparent was indicating that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater, and I was responding that if we have to keep the bathwater to keep the baby, we should probably do that.

On the other hand, he might be a liar (I do apologize if you are living in Russia or have heard trustworthy first hand accounts).

Damn it, I really have to commit to not bothering other people about their grammar and spelling mistakes.
'China' as much stand in for 'major players in the U.S. treasuries market' as it was demagoguery.
You could try, but I doubt you would succeed. China doesn't care what you think about the Federal Reserve.

Caffeine and alcohol.
I certainly hope to be recovering from an environmental catastrophe in a few hundred years.
If you want to split hairs, that will probably be true about every human construction for all time.
That's kind of a terrible way to say it, sticking a $5,000 lens in front of a $5 sensor wouldn't make the sensor work any better.
You just is.
The cross domain stuff isn't that terrible, it defaults to deny, and you can actually turn off flash cookies:

I'm not sure that qualifies as a special tool or not. Another panel there lets you remove existing cookies.
Since when?
By who?
Optimizing frequently used internal functions is a different thing than optimizing every variable name.
You may have just been in buildings with relatively small service hookups (which is common for older construction).

You can hardly be arguing that anonymous libel is going to be seriously damaging.
I would guess that anonymous revelations of the truth do society much more good than anonymous lies do harm.
