I'm hoping their repeated Googling to find things they object to actually pushes those things up on Google Suggestions. Sort of a self-service Streisand-effect.
I don't buy that "Junk-Mail-Subsidizing-First-Class" crap. If that was true, First-Class would be cheap or free, and the recyclable-paper-waste would cost more to deliver than First-Class does now.
I don't agree with your logic. It makes perfect sense to me that that its cheaper (per unit) to spam an an entire zip code from a mailing that's dropped off at the post office, sorted and barcoded then it is to send a single letter with barely-legible handwriting from a house in the middle of rural America to its recipient.
But even if spam subsidizes 1st class -- I'd rather pay 10x as much for the 5 snail mails I send a year if it means the near-daily spam would stop.
but are only required to uniformly apply duties, imposts and excises. Apparently it's OK to tax Mr. Samuel L. Jackson into oblivion if you don't like his tone.
Not originally: "direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."
Of course, the 16th Amendment got rid of the apportionment requirement.
how slow do you have to be going for the shit to appear? It may even contribute to traffic safety if drivers slow down well in advance and creep forward slowly, instead of coming quickly up to the car ahead and stopping at the last minute.
Why would I alter my driving patterns to keep the guy behind me from being annoyed by an ad?
You've probably compiled a lengthly list of sites vulnerable to SQL-injection. I'm sure you could sell that to someone somewhere to compensate you for your pain and suffering.
The NFL actually has a surprising number of players that behave like btards, it's rather amusing.
I'd be a bit more concerned with the Michael Vicks and Leonard Littles of the NFL than some guy who changes his name. (dogfighting and and drunk-driving-with-fatal-accident for those not in the US or otherwise not aware)
Now imagine 4 year olds, touching everything and sucking their thumb, and then checking out a book.
This right here is should be much more of a concern to people than all of the freaking out going on here about 'privacy'. I don't understand why people get so worked up about fingerprints. You leave them all over the place all day long - but as soon as someone asks for one for something -- that you already accept being tracked for -- people freak out.
At some places, you do your job and keep your mouth shut, or find somewhere else to work.
If "do your job" involves surreptitiously photographing under-18 kids without their or their parents knowledge, then "find somewhere else to work" is the correct option.
Actually I was referring to Zimbabwe because of the crazy inflation they had. Before they pulled their currency entirely, it was taking about 300,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwe dollars to = 1 US$. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar
online access to information about a civil case locked up on the court website for the duration of a retrial
This implies that anyone (who is not a juror on this case) can go to the courthouse and review the case history as needed -- just like they would have had to before the online access was available. I think disallowing online access for the duration of the trial is a pretty reasonable restriction. It doesn't prevent anyone (except the jurors) from seeing anything - it only makes it less convenient.
HOWEVER, the TFS is misleading, as the TFA says "an order that would remove the docket sheet from the public access during the pendency of the trial" it is only limited to the online access in the crappy summary. Preventing non-jurors from viewing what is supposed to be public information is overkill.
At your local library -- if you bring it back in 2 weeks. Otherwise,no, it doesn't. You not liking their pricing structure does not give you the right to violate their copyright. (Unless you are Google, that is.)
It wasn't a concern for me at all. (It was the person I was replying to that was concerned.)
Frankly I don't get why this story is even a story. I don't have a problem with my bank or my employer having my fingerprints. And the government already does. (From a previous job in IT at a mutual fund)

Perhaps the one and likely only thing Nixon did that actually made sense.
I think his handling of the war with Spheron was also pretty good.
There's verbiage in it that limits your "unlimited" online viewing too now.
And the day they start doing that to me is the day I exercise the verbiage the lets me terminate my account. BitTorrent is still free right? :-)

Here in the US we are always being warned about "Africanized honey bees". I was just assuming the problem was way way worse in Africa.
Sailing vessels can go faster than the wind, why shouldn't a car be able to?
I agree. Let me know when they have a light powered vessel that goes faster than light, then I'll be impressed.

I don't understand. What does the Parents Television Council have against children learning Perl?

Oh yeah? Well, our country's national debt is 10^2000 dollars!
Really, I didn't realize Zimbabwe had Internet access.

I think they should have at least put up a page that had, in large, friendly letters "Don't Panic".

This was modded insightful AND troll. That probably sums me up in a nutshell. :-)
