So 39.2% got their weapon from a street/illegal source. Street doesn't automatically mean illegal.
39.6% got the weapon from a friend/family. Unless it has become illegal to loan or give a weapon to a member of your family, I'd say this doesn't count.
"I need to put some photos on our website for folks to look at." "You could copy them to a shared drive." "But people outside of our company need to view them." "I guess we could expose a drive to the outside world, I'd have to talk to my boss about that. There'd probably be security issues." "Can't you just put up a web page with the photos on there?" "Building that kind of webpage takes a lot of work." "I can do it for you, I have a script that will generate the HTML and thumbnails." "We're not supposed to put up HTML any more, we're supposed to move everything to ASP." "OK, I'll find an outside server to host them."
I'm finding that's happening a lot with regards to this subject. People are either too stupid to see the argument, or are ignoring it because they know they're wrong.
No, you're still not getting it. Warrants can be obtained RETORACTIVELY. They can do the wiretapping as needed, and THEN apply for the warrant.
Seriously, why aren't people paying attention to the information presented to them? Are they stupid or deliberately ignoring the facts to support this administration's criminal activites?
Got it: you're pretending that it's too difficult because it's your team breaking the law. Way to piss on the constitution you neo-fascist loving ideologue.
I remember twice during Clinton's tenure the Fox network (regular Fox, not Faux News) compared his actions overseas as an attempt to Wag The Dog. They said that art was imitating life, directly accusing him of orchestrating military action to deflect attention away from his blow job shenanigans. They did it once for Kosovo (where genocide was taking place) and once for Iraq (where US warplanes were being targeted by Saddam). Every time he used US troops in a peacekeeping capacity he was vilified by the Republicans for it.
Remember that soldier who refused an order to wear a UN beret? He was a "hero". Yet soldiers that refuse to illegally occupy a foreign country are called traitors by these so-called patriots.
Attempts to get kids into private schools via vouches hit a big road block when democrats objected to it. Despite the fact it would both 1) reduce the number of students per class and 2) provide more money per student; seems irrelevant to Democrats who rather keep a socialist program alive and well, even if it means dumbing down the children.
Your girlfriend appears to teach in a Maryland different from the one that exists. Since 2002, schools in Maryland are funded per capita for the number of students attending. So your magical school vouchers would reduce the funding that each school receives. Since a portion of those per-pupil funds go towards fixed costs that cannot be reduced, the proportion of monies spent on actually educating the students would be reduced.
Hardware is a physical asset. It not like a physical asset, it is a physical fucking asset.
If you can't replace the hardware, your system hasn't become "brittle". A lack of compatible hardware does not cause your software to become "brittle".
That's not aging, that's modification. We're talking about the same software running on the same hardware for 20 years. If nothing changes, it will continue to function.
Besides, from the text of the article I'd say nobody was modifiying the software, since nobody in the company knew FORTRAN.
As for you running software on new hardware explanation, you're changing the operating parameters.
"These systems are just like physical assets," says Mike Childress, former Delta CTO and now vice president of applications and industry frameworks for EDS. "They become brittle with age, and you have to take great care in maintaining them."
You can easily run software for 20 years and it will not fail so long as you don't exceed its operating parameters. That's also assuming you can source replacement kit for hardware failures.
Then why not protect them by locking them up for 18 months without access to legal representation or due process of law? That's what happened to a bunch of middle easterners that weren't business partners with the Bush family.
Maybe I'm not reading them carefully enough, but I don't see where in either of those articles scientific findings have been altered to distort the truth. Perhaps you could point out where in these reports the Clinton administration lied to the public with falsified science. That would show the relevence of these links to the discussion at hand.
Yes. In the UK there's the National Viewers and Listens Association which recently changed its name to mediawatch-uk in an attempt to legitimise its meddling.
They routinely complain about sex, violence and bad language on television programs that are very popular with the viewing audience. Nobody really takes them seriously apart from blue haired old ladies and religious nutjobs.
They take the attitude that turning off the telvision isn't good enough. In other words they're offended that other people are watching these programmes. Of course, they throw in the "won't somebody think of the children!" line for good measure.

Yeah, they've also taken a jab at Adobe for the PDF format. Looks like Adobe corrected them (along with some spelling errors).

And they've recently sponsored a Microsoft show and tell. I wonder who's funding that?

They're looking more and more like MS shills.
Tony Blair is not a Socialist. His government is more right wing the the Conservative one that preceded it.
Perhaps I should have explained. I was the one trying to get the photos put onto the website.
This was my favourite:
"I need to put some photos on our website for folks to look at."
"You could copy them to a shared drive."
"But people outside of our company need to view them."
"I guess we could expose a drive to the outside world, I'd have to talk to my boss about that. There'd probably be security issues."

He'll probably found dead, having committed suicide. Like these two folks that pissed off the Bush dynasty.
But you can't list that stuff in a warrant because you don't (and can't) know it in advance.
Which is why the FISA law is in place. Are you not paying attention or deliberately ignoring the fact that warrants can be obtained after the fact?
Despite repeated US Supreme Court rulings stating exactly the opposite thing.
Don't worry, there's a fix in progress for that problem.

Eh, they just aren't very well read.
Fine, if you can't be bother to educate yourself.

Fucking turd.
The sad thing is that RIAA action was carried out after the bill had cleared congress. No one got thrown in jail for that patently illegal act though.

You pay for the independent channels regardless of whether or not you own a television.

Funny, I live in Snohomish County too, and several months ago I actually had a conversation with Bob Terwilliger, the auditor of our fair county
Wait a minute! Your county's auditor is Sideshow Bob and you didn't suspect any foul play?
His margin of victory is the smallest in a US Presidential election since Wilson beat Taft in 1913.
Surely you mean when Gore beat Bush in 2000?
