You said some states do not allow right turn on red:
Also, there's some states where you turning right on red is not legal (I think Delaware might be one, if not the only one).
That is incorrect. All states, DC, Guam, PR allow right turn on red. Some cities do not.
A caption in the linked wikipedia article also states:
In the United States outside New York City, right turns are permitted on red (except for school buses and trucks carrying hazardous materials) unless there is a "No Turn on Red" or a "Right Turn Signal" light indicating the same and controlling the right turn.
Yes, NYC is a special snowflake. There may be others, but it is incredibly rare.
You're making things up. No where was it claimed that "he went out to his car and retrieved his firearm."
Wouldn't be the first time. Look at the number of truthy 'facts' surrounding the Aurora and Sandy Hook shootings and the Martin-Zimmerman incident for earlier instances.
So it would have been ok if he had stabbed the guy or snapped his neck or slammed his face into the floor and stomped him? But because he used a gun, guns are evil?
Well, a lot of people argued that it was ok for Trayvon Martin to beat the shit out of George Zimmerman for a perceived homosexual advance, but were against the latter shooting the former in defense.
If your argument against personal freedoms boils down to "bad people will misuse those freedoms", then we might as well get rid of the entire bill of rights (except perhaps the third, 9th, and tenth amendments). All of those protections "help" bad people to some degree, so we should just abolish them.
Given the restrictions on free speech in 'enlightened' countries, I have no doubt those who would deny the second amendment would also deny us our first amendment.
Shooting for legs and arms and shoulders and whatnot is much easier on TV than IRL, and is NOT something that 99.9% of LEO, military, etc. are trained for.
So what client were you using and when? If this was ten years ago, do you think anyone really cares? That's like saying you won't buy a 2013 Taurus because Ford made the Pinto.
You ever read the auto discussions on slashdot? That sort of comment is not only accepted, it is usually tagged 'Informative' or 'Insightful'.
I think the closest analogs on the US right to the EU left would be tea baggers, John Birchers, and the like.
Also not sure, but I think you grasp my point that pointing out that the US is not the EU is a bit of a waste of time in these sorts of discussions. I find it of particular uselessness when one side or the other points to a difference as a sign of inferiority rather than just about anything else.
Two parties? Apologies, maybe it's the distance, but from over here in Europe it looks like the US has only one party with two slightly differing wings.
Seriously. If the main problem for the moderator in a political debate is to find some kind of tiny semantic difference in the position of the two biggest candidates, you know something is not going right.
Your played out observation works just as well from an American perspective. Europeans claim to have 31 different political parties in their individual countries to choose from, but they are all slight variations on one, socialist theme. You really have no more diversity than the US, it's just that your center is in a different place. And before you trot out some corner case where someone from the Pirate Party won some local race in some backwater burg, let me point out that we've got a few nutters in the legislatures in some states. It doesn't much invalidate the broader observation.
The programming for the Vista20P is a bit arcane and reminds me of programming assembly from my youth, but a day or two with the manual and some judicious googling and you should be set.
Glad to hear that nothing has changed since I was programming alarm and pbx systems in the mid-1980s!

She cares about the 'many' dollars that will go into her hubby's pocket due to something Eisenhower warned about...
Moot point: once you measure it, you've changed the results. Obviously, all measurements are invalid.
The warp drive was a freakin' Honda/Timex/Maytag compared to the travesty that is the transporter system.
Now can you tell us how the presence of fringe on the flag in the court causes them to be illegitimate?
Woah. Tom Sawyer is actually playing as I read this.

All 50 states and DC have been the same for over thirty years: right turn on red unless marked.
We are golden.
And we've got to get back to the garden.
Was it easier to post a flippant response than to offer an alternative with the featureset specified by the gp?

Because he had already invested $48 in his ticket and popcorn?
Cheap. Must be the senior citizens' discount.

Keep it up. Someone needs to start a sister site that does the same to technobabble.
Or Slashdot article summaries.

Milk costs more than soda.
I just checked my Wal-Mart receipt. A gallon of 2% milk is $3.19. A HALF gallon of soda is $2.19. So, no, the milk is not more expensive.
I believe generic soda costs less than $2.19/half gallon. I want to say $1.29 for a two liter, but I'm not sure.
So you're saying the poor are animals who cannot fathom abstinence? Nice attitude you have there.

Orwell was right.
I bet you think masturbation is just as good as sex with another person.
Let me know when you find out.
I'm waiting to hear back from the first AC's sister. I hear she's a goer.
TL;dr:
Words mean whatever I want them to mean so that I'll win my argument.
I guess Heather did, but why did she never disclose what the Kergan did?
And I guess maybe Freddie Mercury did, but he was doing it wrong.

You had Google in the mid-1980's?
