Your use of "The President spied on US persons" tells me that you are talking out of your ass. An American using (American) English well wouldn't say that, and an American using English poorly wouldn't say that.
Any congressman can take to the floor and request that congress impeach the president. If they care, congress would vote on the impeachment. They won't. If they did vote to impeach, the procedure would take a while, there would essentially be a trial (you could probably look up the process that Clinton went through fairly easily).
As far as violating the UN charter, the president is required to respect treaties that the US has entered into.
A president is responsible for the actions that he directs other to take, to the point that it isn't laughable to describe the actions as if he took them himself.
Wouldn't it be more like 'no' for the sound of thousands of creationists sensing their world view shatter and "CCCCLLLAAANNNGGGGG' for the millions of creationists whose world view successfully prevented them from believing the article?
2257 compliance is required for material intended to be marketed in the United States (so if the company is doing business in the US, they need to follow that law).
An Expedition is safer than a Civic, but not so much as the tenor of this whole thread would imply.
My brother, while driving a compact sedan with 2 passengers, got hit from the side by a truck driven by an inebriated driver. My brother and the passengers were fine. Compact cars today are better than a lot of vehicles from 25 years ago.
SUV's are still going to win the mass battle in collisions, but part of the design of an SUV is that it should crumple, rather than chewing through what it crashes into. This helps the occupants of both vehicles.
Yeah, I wasn't following the thread all that closely when I replied and didn't realize that the context was GPL software, I was just pointing out that you can probably sell games as a service(GPL or not).
They won't give you $300 for nothing. Problem not solved. If they aren't allowed to write the contract in a way that says you have to give the phone back to cancel the contract, they won't subsidize it.
They're charging too much for what they are providing.
If a $5,000/year tool saves you $10,000/year of developer time, the price is just fine. An $800/year tool that provides a $200/year benefit over a free alternative? Not so much.
New content for existing games on a regular basis is one.
Access to an ever increasing pool of games for a monthly fee is another. I wouldn't participate in this one, I'd rather pay a one time fee to buy games that I want, but it might work.
In the face of no one ever providing contrary statistics or anything other than "Oh yeah, I don't believe those numbers!", I'm okay with using US produced statistics.
GDP might be distorted by underestimations of inflation, but it isn't distorted by the 200% it would take for the economy to have shrunk since 1980 (that is, in inflation adjusted dollars, the lies state that the economy doubled in size in that period).
The point of my first response was that your original parenthetical implied (at least a little) that all the projects had the same goal and that the cost of the (proposed) GNU hardware was simply silly, whereas it is probably more true that the cost of the proposed hardware is silly for a great many use cases.
The op's post didn't read like justification to me. More like insight into the mind of a 1.0 owner who doesn't have bizarre expectations of a technology company.
Which is why I said plenty of disposable income. The point is that different people treat $500 differently, and for the ones that don't need to care (which probably includes plenty of people who are not 'set' when you are talking about $500), spending $500 does not a sucker make.
It would be easy enough to provide him encrypted only communications equipment.
"Oh, uh, we lost contact" wouldn't quite be enough of a cover story, as the equipment would be able to make radio noise, but "Oh, uh, the equipment is on automatic." covers that.
I would call anything involving a tree landscaping. I'm not sure how it takes weeks to plant a plant in the first paragraph, and a week to have someone else do it in the last, but again, the idea that the virtual garden is going to take minutes to setup and work better than the experienced eye of a landscape designer just doesn't work for me.
Maybe he has plenty of disposable income. There are people who spend thousands of dollars for seats at sporting events, but they are generally in the 'set for life' category rather than the 'sucker' category. Same thing could be true for people who like gadgets.
Trying on clothes at a virtual Amazon or laying out a garden at a virtual Lowes are not things that I would consider easier/faster/better than going to a store to try on clothes, or braving the daystar to go scratch lines in the soil. Laying out the virtual garden is probably even a more expensive use of time (not driving to a store to try on clothes is a small win though).

If Kucinich believes that the president directed someone to spy domestically, he *is* being very precise in the words he is choosing...

The big bang theory does not explain what caused the big bang. It breaks down as time approaches 0.
So are all the scientific theories that try to explain why the universe is. It's kind of fun really.

Sorry you wasted your comment.

I was under the impression that GNU Radio (with all the bells) could do video.
