The concern here is for the financial well-being of our country. Once a majority population of a Democracy has figured out that they can just vote themsleves gifts from the coffers of the country, that country will certainly head down a swift path to financial ruin. That's why we don't have Democracy.
The founders of the United States fortunately were aware of this history, so they slowed this phenomonon down by deciding upon a Republic. By voting only for Representatives, the direct control of the coffers is taken away from the voters in favor of stability. But even a Republic's financial solvency can be threatened by a majority of politicians out-promising each other over how many gifts they will give people in order to get elected.
The fiscally conservative side of the voting block is very concerned that a number like 70% receiving direct payments could be the tipping point to create the phenomenon I've described above. That may or may not be the case, as many direct payments are for direct goods and services (e.g. Farm subsidies, federal payroll, etc.) But it is a concern that is something we as a country should watch closely and discuss.
The political ignorance of you and timothy is, I am affraid to say, embarrassing. Let me explain what has happened here.
The POTUS has made a budget that he suggests to the House of Representatives. You can find and explanation of this on Wikipedia.
You can also know more about this if you would just RTFB that was posted today.
"Calls on the Congress to enact bipartisan commonsense, comprehensive immigration reform consistent with the President’s principles and that builds on the bipartisan legislation that has already passed the Senate, which the Congressional Budget Office has found would reduce the deficit by almost $1 trillion and increase the economy by $1.4 trillion over the next twenty years."
A nearly semantic language that can solve problems for the user with the information that they are looking for?
This sounds like Stephen Wolfram is angling for a buyout from an enormous search engine (that has the majority of market share).
Such a search giant busies itself with the trying to stay ahead of a curve that is contantly try to flatten itself. This would be quite the engine for solving that problem...
I graduated with a degree in Engineering in 2010. There were organized groups and promotions EVERYWHERE on campus to promote all kinds of engineering and programming to women. There was not a single group to encourage men to join nursing. Not a single poster anywhere.
Just because you find one website on the fringes of the internet does NOT mean you have discovered parity. The social obsession to view women as victims at every turn doesn't apply to men. EVER.
When I start seeing movements to increase the dearth of men in the fulfilling career of nursing, I might start having some actual respect for efforts such as these.
Be welcoming and warm in our acceptance of anyone. But to push them toward something they are not really interested in, just so some people feel better about themselves, is absolute silliness.
Why would anyone pay for something that is required to make things work?
That is exactly how I feel too! In order to get MS Office to work, they claim I need a product key. Ha! Product key, Scmoduct Key.
I was also told that in order to get Ender's Game to work on my TV screen I needed to buy a digital copy off of Amazon Prime for $19.99. Oh these silly people. Luckily I know how to make this stuff work without their help.
This is fucking insipid. But as long as it adds to the mirage that Your Government Cares, then let the show go on right?
I think any communication between the public and our government that is open and transparent has value. Even if it does not get the desired result immediately, it influences public opinion in our government as the people observe the ebb and flow of government in action. Government officials are almost always influenced to at least some degree by their public perception.
Wrong. This is a class action suit on behalf of cell phone owner's. That gives this case standing.
This is not only a political stance suit like his father's. This is a legitimate suit of a class that has been directly wronged. Standing will never be questioned.
I also am a libertarian/conservative-leaning voter who, I believe, has to have a similar view to you. But on Net Neutrality, the freedom of the people cannot be protected by giving freedom to an oligarchy. In the modern day, the people are not only subject to the limitations of law. More and more, they are subject to the rules set by corporate oligarchies. In the US, unlike in Korea, there is a gentlemen's agreement amongst internet providers to limit the speeds that we should expect. The capitalist idea of personal property has been perverted over the last 30 years by the use of EULA's that is prevelant, which teach people that they only own their computers to the degree that MicrosoftApple tells them they can.
If you would prefer a company that provides freer computing or freer internet service, there's really no where to run.
Unless you exercise your free-market right to go shopping for a new government. Brazil is looking pretty good to me.
Could someone help me figure out how to mod this story as flame bait?
Seriously. Claiming that only private companies can "get away with doing this" is so ridiculous that it can only be construed as an attempt to rile people up.
PacMan ROMS have Privacy Guard that allows you to disable those "permissions" you give for apps upon install. The app will think it's doing what it wants. But you're in control.
Rooting and flashing a new ROM is the best thing you can do for your privacy.
As far as I can see, this is the first time NRF24L01+ is being decoded, especially considering the low entry price for the hardware.
begin sarcasm::
It is either the first time or it is not the first time. There is nothing that makes it "especially" so. Your violation has been noted. You will be watched for further grammar/logic errors in the future. Tread carefully on Slashdot.
And in other new, BP would like to keep its environmental inspectors in their backpocket and Monsanto sees no reason that FDA officials should not be allowed to own lots of stock in their company.
The price of silicon taken at one moment in time is not what I meant by market price. Market price fluctuates and the silicon market is capable of large fluctuations.
I live in the Seattle area. No they are not generally capable of powering a home. Only if you pick and choose where you will evaluate the criteria, are they.
Durability is an issue when you live in the midwest where hail, ice and heavy snow can damage just about anything on your roof. You have to insure the solar panel, which then increases the cost.
Regarding you "evidence link", be careful using agendize reporting for financial information. When you are promoting an agenda you cannot really be trusted for financial prediction. Valuable finacial prediction requires an unbiased look at MANY points of view. Not just one. Especially not just one that cherry picks its stories.
...and people would have to pretend they like tinted windows.
Being forced to have tinted windows is not preferred. You can bet that if these get put on some skyscraper, the boss's windows will be exempt from having these installed.
The challenges for mass-adoption of solar cells having nothing to do with convenient locations to put them. Nearly all home-owners have a roof that they can access.
The challenges for solar cell adoption are:
Cost-effective manufacturing methods
The market price of silicon
Efficiency of conversion
Storing the energy for when it's required (or moving it to where it is helpful)
and Durability
When those problems are REALLY solved, we won't need to have dark windows to generate our energy needs. And we won't need to burn coal. But we're a long way from solving all of those problems.
The word asshole in your definition is more of a connotation. It's not actually in the definition of the word. br>
The word fundamentalism doesn't mean evil, bad or asshole. It just means that you are zealous about your cause in such a way that you that puts you out of step with the world around you.
I felt that promoting an over-priced laptop made of 7 year old hardware, only because it meets qualified for that meaning of the word. But I apologize if some felt that word was harsh. I'd thought it was well-chosen.

Timothy. You claimed that the House originated President Obama's budget proposal. Citation needed please.

Humanity in the United States has become far more fragile over the last 30 years.

An invitation to speculate and draw our own conclusions based on a model that everyone will pick apart?
Bring in some pre-conceived ideas from Slashdot readers and we have a real festive discussion ahead of us today! Popcorn time.
I'm taking wagers on how many posts this one gets within the next 2 days. My computer model puts the number at about 535.
You're aware of the fact that they are hypocrits now from this communication. Aren't you?
This is fucking insipid. But as long as it adds to the mirage that Your Government Cares, then let the show go on right?

Who specifically has been harmed in which specific manner? What were the specific monetary damages incurred?
Those are the questions of the case. But those are not the questions that lead to a ruling of lack of standing.
Wrong. This is a class action suit on behalf of cell phone owner's. That gives this case standing.
This is not only a political stance suit like his father's. This is a legitimate suit of a class that has been directly wronged. Standing will never be questioned.
There's no need to give your data to middle-men. BitTorrent Sync is the way to go.

If DMUTPeregrine is guilty of copy right infringement, it makes no difference whether he releases his music under the CC license.
Just as it made no difference for George Harrison, as he released My Sweet Lord in 1971, which didn't have the CC license.
Did you RTFA? It specifically mentions that these windows are grey tinted.
