I use Adblock Plus to block plenty of things that are not ads for this very reason. For example, CNN has autoplay news videos... or at least I presume they still do. Their ads I do't mind.
Each 747 would have to fly more than 3.5 water flights per day, since there have only been 1500 made counting all variants. So you also need water sources no more than 3700 statute miles away.
If an individual, and now apparently a government, finds that it is cheaper to default than to perform, that is a moral failing.
If a corporation find that it is cheaper to default than to perform, well that's just good business.
I guess since a corporation is amoral it is immune to moral hazard.
People act as if they've only now discovered that Greek have terrible tax collection and that their bonds were a bad risk. Sure, let's say there should be some consequence for Greece if it defaults. However, there should also be some consequence for the German banks that invested in what everyone else knew was a bad risk. The whole idea behind a risk premium is that there's a chance that you will realize that risk. Well, the German Banks did realize that risk and like good Americans they have attempted to socialize the losses.
There is absolutely nothing in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 that prevents commercial exploitation, and it actively encourages scientific exploitation. What it prohibits is national appropriation, i.e. no country can claim claim territory. What is unclear is who who has jurisdiction over conflicts between nationals of different signatories. (Nationals of the same signatory are under the jurisdiction of that signatory.) For example, if US Space Mining Co comes along a picks up the processed ore from EU Space Mining Co and runs off with it EUSMCo has no venue for redress of the theft.
But you did not know that people like red_dragon and the AC kept pointing to the wrong site. red_dragon' claimed that there should be no confusion about what is the right site to get PuTTY but in doing so demonstrated red_dragon's own confusion over what was the right site thus refuting the claim.
Saying "Why Apple Ditched Its Plan To Build a Television" not only makes the assumption that at one point Apple was planning to make a television, it gets you to accept that they were. No one shred of evidence has been shown that such plans existed.
It has gotten to the point where one analyst has actually apologized though, which in itself is a miracle.
1-10, 12 and the first half of 13 are the same thing, which an ad blocker does but with finer granularity than just the host name and with patterns instead of explicit entries.
11 isn't actually affected by host files entries on *your* end.
15 is a design choice by the writer of the ad blocker. Some have text-based configs and some don't.
16 is a comparison, so it depends on what metric you are using.
So only the second half of 13 and 14 are features that a host file could provide but an ad blocker could not.
The Tea Party's issue is not national debt. It is not even overall taxation. It is current marginal tax rates. That is how you end up backing nutty stuff like the debt ceiling that in the long run will cost the taxpayers more.
State powers to not trump the right's of the People. The 14th Amendment gives the Federal government the power to defend the rights of the People against the States.
The 14th Amendment gives the Federal government the right to defend the People against the States. Nowhere are the States given the right to oppress the People, despite the fact that is almost the only circumstance where the phrase "States' Rights" are invoked.
The states are not sovereign under the US Constitution, the PEOPLE are sovereign. The states do not have the right to oppress the people, but is almost the only reason "State's rights" are invoked. Pot legalization is pretty much the only case I can think of where State's rights have been invoked in favor of the liberty of the People rather than against it.

Note this is not an indictment, it is a search warrant application.
The FBI alleges that Chris Roberts claims to have committed a crime. That would be the probable cause for a search warrant for the investigation into whether he did in fact commit the crime that he claims. An alternative explanation for Roberts's claim is that he was just bullshiting the proles.
Those crying that the lack of action thus far on the part of the FAA is evidence that no crime was committed are missing the point that this is the *beginning* of the investigation, not the end. It is not rational to expect all of the parties have already reached their conclusions.
Or maybe use use of "compromised" comes from a responsible adult to mean that "a copy of the salted and encrypted db has been made which they could possibly brute-force before the heat-death of the universe so we should go ahead and replace all entries now".
"His situation was not under oath. The bottom line, though, is he still lied. He lied under a different oath, and that is the oath to his wife. So it’s got to be taken very, very seriously.” Mark Sanford, Congressman from SC1 at the time.

a) 1,000 passengers per hour is an unrealistically large service when that isn't even large for a single train. Even in the US, the Northeast Corridor runs at least 1 regional (~700 passengers) and one Acela Express (~300 passengers) an hour, and there is other long distance service and the commuters trains on top of that. Back when Amtrak had the Clockers those trains alone would have about 900 seats.
b) that the only stations would be at the endpoints at Los Angeles and San Francisco (the so-called "end-point mentality") when there would be non-zero turnover at the intermediate stations, thereby allowing a train to service more passengers over its run that its instantaneous capacity.

The German people have been subsidizing the Greeks because they have been unwilling to bail-out the German banks directly.

Kids these days don't remember when you could actually get coffee worse than Starbucks.
