No idea about the trans portion, but the LGB part? You need to be applying to the right contractors with the right agencies. With the explosion of security theatre post 9/11, there are many openings, and an American boy who likes to kiss boys (or American girl who likes to kiss girls) is pretty low on the list.
The only 'danger' you expose yourself to by keeping an open wifi is that a moronic lawyer claims it must have been you and decides to sue you for things you didn't do.
Or if a moronic judge issues a search warrant for your home.
Well thank Jeebus there are no moronic judges in the US!
Your question is backwards. IIRC, LILO was first. LILO was the standard. So what does GRUB2 add that LILO didn't that inspired others to make the switch?
Add the use of narcotics in countries where it is legal.
Hmm, I'm noticing a theme with these laws where the US extends jurisdiction over the citizenry when it comes to substances ingested (injected, whatever)? Perhaps the ultimate irony in this is that there is no universal health care that would give the US a monetary interest in same.
GP clearly said 'time value of money'. This sort of analysis is not presented by you. Therefore, your results are not comparable to his. If you are not familiar with this, essentially it is saying that 1 euro today is worth 1.25 euros tomorrow.
When does the freedom of speech cross the line of insults and a lack of respect for others?
They do not of necessity cross. Freedom of speech is not limited or abrogated by being an asshole, at least as far as the government is concerned. The government may not, in a moral country, limit the speech of another person. Now, when someone says something asinine, I can, as a human being, call them asinine. If they are saying things on my webboard, at my house, in my business, I can ask them to desist or leave. Because I also have a right to my property and privacy.
Could Facebook tell the guy to piss up a rope and go away? Sure. Can the Greek government? No.
To turn your later questions around: why does your thin skin cause me to have to censor myself in a public environment? On what moral or ethical grounds are hurt feelings (decidedly of a subjective nature) a cause for action backed by government force?
Knee jerk anti-Americanism is pretty popular on the Internet these days. Much easier to look at the US as one big country rather than a union of fifty states, thousands of counties, and tens of thousands of towns and cities. Only in Europe can two towns five hundred miles away from each other be different and unique. Contrast that with the US where Hoboken is identical to Raleigh is identical to Chicago in the mind of a non-American..
I think you were a tiny bit unclear in your first post, but in rereading, you did clear things up. I'm actually willing to cut you some slack if the events happened as you suggest. (And I'm not singling you out in particular, just saying we are all not the best witnesses.) So for arguments sake, I'll give you your interpretation of events. I initially thought you were in a following situation, not one where you were being passed. Mea culpa.
I do have to stick by not so much what you said regarding truckers as some subtext that I (perhaps inadvertently and due to a thin skin on the subject) picked up.
Generally, it's not a 'trucker' who puts an unsafe rig on the road, rather it's pressure for trucking companies. FWIW, despite the huge amount in taxes paid for a typical truck, I don't think it's enough. The wear and tear on the road surface is immeasurably higher for a truck vs a passenger car or motorcycle. Different economies and fuel tax rates don't even begin to cover it.
I would also take exception with your admonishment of a truck being 'unsafe'. That's an imprecise term. Everything is unsafe to some degree. The question is what level of unsafety is acceptable? For most loads and weights, losing a single trailer tire out of eight is not a big deal. The load can be limped to the side of the road or some repair facility without causing much more strain on components. What IS gone is any safety margin. Yes, this ignores the problems caused by the remnants of that blown tire, but I want to look at the bigger picture (mostly because I jumped to a conclusion originally, and I'm trying to run away from it). The truck driver certainly doesn't want to do something to put his life or livelihood in danger. He doesn't get paid enough to do that. Even most trucking companies don't want to do that. Their trucks/drivers don't make money for them unless they are moving. Being investigated by NHTSA and DOT hurts that. But just like there are plenty of banks who will shit things up out of short term greed, there's plenty of trucking companies out there doing the same thing.
So what's the answer? I dunno. Despite the lousy pay and working conditions, US business interests have decided that things are not bad enough. They have, for years, been trying to insource as much trucking as possible from Mexico.
Having seen it from other drivers, students, and parents, most people do not take responsibility for their driving. I see and hear excuses constantly. Everyone thinks he is an above average driver. Math tells us this isn't likely. Rather than asking questions of your anecdote, I jumped to the quick, easy conclusion that fits with my experiences. For that, I apologize.

As soon as Glenn Beck is willing to deny raping and murdering a girl in 1980.
The left wing is almost entirely absent from mainstream US politics. There's only Center Right, and Extreme Right. There is no Left in the discussion.
I think Noam Chomsky is still out there somewhere.
Yep.
Abe Vigoda is doing ok also.
There are ways to serve in a similar capacity without coming anywhere near traditional military.
70mph dragster? Will that even open the chute?
That's because stupid people don't put CM on their phones. Stupid people do, however, buy iPhones.
They also know to lie to the CSR about what they did when there is a problem.
History is written by the winners. Typically that's the guy who brought a gun to a fistfight.
You have reached an imaginary number. Please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try the number again."
That usually confuses any human on the line.
Multiply your imaginary phone numbers by i if you are having trouble dialing.
No. Your spergly fixation on a particular number used as an illustrative point does not negate the concept.
A drone knocks out the other guy 100 miles out and if it doesn't, who gives a shit.
the dead people on the ground?
If they're dead, even if they care, it's hard for them to register a complaint.
If Romney gets elected, he'll just repeal it back to IPv4
More likely, he'll switch the internet over to lantastic.
That is a buried Mormon comment if I ever saw one.
Lantastic->NetWare->Novell->Provo, UT

When you got to 'the foot', you should have used on the gripping hand.

Ford Bronco, not Chevy Blazer. Yes, essentially the same thing, but only one of them experienced a spike in sales following the 'chase'.
Per mile driven, they're still the safest on the road.
Between deregulation in the early 80's onward combined with the death of the Teamsters, no more apprenticeships.
Since you are too lazy to educate yourself: let me leave this link here for you.
Well, Americans invented the restaurant chains for a reason, no ?
They seem to do fairly well in Asia and Europe, no?
more space than a nomad, though....
I don't think so, Sparky.

How about a cosmetic skingraft industry to leatherize your skin?
Seemed to do wonders for George Hamilton.
