Worse than any people that post spoilers are the spoiler bullies that try to define anything as a spoiler to manufacture indignation. At least with spoiler posters everyone can agree on the fact that what they are posting are actual spoilers.
I have recently seen spoiler bullies claim that posting the name of a character is a spoiler. I've seen people claim that discussion of what has not yet happened in a series is a spoiler. There is no way to have a rational discussion with people like that.
Perhaps I should call them Spoiler Justice Warriors instead.
The argument that municipal broadband stifles competition in the private sector would be more convincing if it came with examples where municipal broadband was competing against the sector, instead of examples where the private sector refused to engage the market at all.
A: Discrimination against women is more acceptable than discrimination against men. B: Discrimination against men and women are equally unacceptable. C: Discrimination against men is more acceptable than discrimination against women.
Sure, few publicly state that they are members of A. However, the status quo is A. Therefore if you are satisfied with the status quo, then you are a member of A.
a) A difference of over an order of magnitude makes them literally not equivalent. b) Iran was actively connected by positive action to items of concern. c) You have assumed that Carter was not also wrong.
That's not an article, it's an opinion piece. The WSJ exercises no editorial oversight over opinion pieces and does no fact checking. You can claim anything you want in a WSJ opinion piece.
You can frequently find the facts to refute the claims of opinion pieces in the actual news sections of the very same edition of the WSJ.
Ummm... I hate to break it to you, but the verb form of "gift", as in "bestow a gift", dates back to the 16th century. It's not a modern or American usage; it is a long-recognized usage of the word.
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
That can't be right, America didn't even exist then!;-)
How good would the Intel compiler have to be at optimizing for AMD products before people would no longer claim that Intel was deliberately crippling the optimizations? I submit that there is no limit, and therefore there is no reason for Intel to try.

I just wonder whether this was actually a story of extreme incompetence or extreme corruption.
Grey's law: Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
It depends on whether you are Lando Calrissian or Boba Fett.
The Cossacks work for the czar.

Franken voted against it. From the very link you provided "Franken (D-MN), Nay"
If the entirety of those two budgets were misallocated, I'd still call it a remarkably good budget.

How many of those web sites did Posner visit before he came to the conclusion that it should be illegal to visit those web sites?
Either he is a terrorist sympathizer by his own definition or his claims are not grounded in any facts.
"Please explain how poor people are prevented from voting and rich people who are non-residents can vote in local elections"
The Emergency Manager is not a locally elected position. The position is appointed by the governor.
"So the locals elect a government,"
Clearly, the children got the government they deserve.

Electromagnetism is also inverse square, with a larger constant but with both positive and negative charges.
The weak force is roughly a negative exponential.
The strong force is repulsive up to around 0.7E-15, maximally attractive at 0.9E-15, and then decays to 0.
Anonymous are occasionally useful idiots, but most of the time they are not that useful.

The difference is that the mentally retarded can still hold gainful employment.
"There is no hierarchy, there is no leadership, there is no organizational goal"
Why is that good for Anonymous but bad for Occupy?
E.g. if police are chasing you on foot and you run into your friend's house, they don't have to get a warrant.
What they did here is enter every house in town, to see if anyone is running in.
Search ALL calls in a city of 200k residents? With no constraints, that's at best a waste of time. At worst, it's datamining for a witch hunt.
Even in an emergency laws still exists. It's too easy to manufacture an incident if parallel construction is too hard for you.
Theoretically, sure. But back in the real world, every manufacturer is supply constrained at the top end. There's no down-binning doing on anywhere.

Or you can spend a few more dollars and just buy a CPU that won't burn up and fail from overclocking.
If a processor could be guaranteed to work at a higher frequency, the manufacturer would just label it with a higher frequency and sell it like that.
And what happens when the yields start providing 99% perfect chips but the demand curve is still the same?
The unicorns will make up the difference.
Why do you hate synecdoche?
