Can someone clarify for me how exactly this is fighting for freedoms? AFAIK, iOS is pretty locked down, and this is in the EULA. Which ou agree to when you buy the device. I mean, no one who is carrying the mantle of digital freedom is lining up to get one of these iDevices thinking they're doing freedomish stuff, right?
Thank you. Yes, I'm older than 4. I'm old enough that I didn't think I'd see the day when Nexus7 meant anything other than the next series up from Nexus6!
This is a rare opportunity to use a Slashdot meme on itself. Like when someone complains about a bug or annoyance in Linux, they're told to fix/code it themselves.
Well if you don't like the way the political process works, become a politician and fix it!
They need more transparency and a much higher level of technical (hell, any) knowledge and expertise in the legislatures.
You mean like this?

There's actually a newer and nicer-looking version of this, but I can't locate it ATM.
There is no "point of free speech." Free speech just is, as is freedoms in general. If there's supposed to be a point to it, who is to determine that it is not being served by some action, so that action should be prosecuted? If the expression of free speech in some way threatens some other fundamental rights, then that expression should be stopped.
Methane emissions have fallen - this implies there's a lot of organic matter in the trash. While incinerating it is faster, I wonder if composting it would be a better long term approach. There are many sources of energy, but organic matter is more valuable as fertilizer. Especially in that it will recover chemicals like phosphorus, of which there's a shortage brewing.
About the cost of transporting it - if a lot of the trash is organic, then they're essentially transporting water, something that becomes evident if you compost.
I dunno if bitch is the right term, but that arrangement tells us that the brilliant idea that the Forbes writer got - MS got there, oh, about 2 years ago.
You said: "Applied stem cell biology is quite complex,..."
That is the key here. You think it is complex, but looking at the postings above yours, and at least one followup to it, people are thinking that the FDA, scientists, the whole edumacationistic cabal, are making things too complex to preserve their authority. See for example, postings saying there's enough information out there that people can come to their own conclusions and decide for themselves. See how anti-vaccine kooks get copious air-time (any kooks, for that matter) - just because they can't see why the FDA is correct must mean the FDA is wrong.
And there's also this anti-government/libertarian sentiment (why do we need medical regulation, why do we need the dept of education, etc.). In some cases, there is over-regulation and some times regulation does lead to beneficial drugs getting to market later than otherwise, but the FDA exists because the record of the free market in medicine has only debilitating injury and death to show for it.
And I think we're finding this out with there off-shore stem cell facilities too. Only the failures never make it to the marketing material, so these treatments always work, so why should the FDA not let everyone get the benefit, right?
It well might, but last I looked (4 months ago), it was incomplete. No power support for notebooks (suspend on lid close, etc). These days it's Fedora KDE mix for me (further ahead than Kubuntu - for example, a working openconnect for Cisco VPN); and Lubuntu for friends and family I have to support.
Indeed. The drug cartels continue to exist because of parties who benefit from having them around. Not the least the compromised parts of Mexico's government, in addition to interests on the US side.
Considering this ideological simplified nonsense is fashionable on/., it is worth pointing out that a socialistic-communistic-pinko-liberal jobs program, the WPA, is responsible for most of the standing infrastructure that the US, the world's biggest economy relies upon every day.
Not just population density. Passenger rail in the US runs on freight lines, and usually has a lower priority (at least in practice). Even Metra, Chicago's commuter rail (meaning people have to get to work) is freight-delayed a lot. The north-east corridor, whic his what passes for high-speed rail in the US, is the exception.
You can't really load freight (I assume that's what you mean by bulk loads) like this though. It usually involves heavy loading equipment - cranes for shipping containers, hoppers for commodities, etc.
However, if we could load freight cars, hook;em up to a shunter, accelerate it behind a moving fast train, and dock it to the train, then your idea could be implemented.
A couple of additions. Skyactiv is engines and transmissions, and also chassis (more high-strength steel, reduced weight, higher stiffness). The first Skyactiv model, the 2012 Mazda 3 (not the ones being sold now, those are the existing 2.0 & 2.5 & Mazdaspeed DISI 2.3 engines), will have the new engine and transmission. The first full Skyactiv model will be the CX-5.
40 mpg is as near as the 2012 Mazda 3.
The really nice engine is the Skyactiv-D, a relatively lower compression 14:1 diesel. Unfortunately it isn't clear when the diesels will be sold in the US, although 2014 has been mentioned, which i far enough away to be irrelevant to car buyers (aside, the companies with really cool tech seem to be the one lousiest at marketing).
Well, precisely. It's easy to say "national sales tax," in fact (I just said it). But how's it going to be allocated back to the states? Why should all the purchasing from, say Chicago, subsidize roads in a little town in Mississippi? It's all nice and collegial, but note that the roads in Chicago would be severely underfunded. TFA does have very many details ( infact, it has none), so is this another sensational headline out of a non-story?
You know that Cook County (where Chicago lies)? The one they make fun of? "Crook" county, the Republicans like to call it (mainly because there's no chance in hell the county is ever going to get a Republican elected). Well, guess what the evil big city county did? They made possession of minor amounts of pot a ticketable offense. maybe someone is fighting back against the slant-heads.
Unfortunately for this theory, the definition of profit is, shall we say, very flexible. In fact, all the complexity of the real world is concealed in it. Look around you, any mess you see s very likely because it was "profitable" for someone.

Not slightly.
Imperial gallon = 4.55 l
US gallon =- 3.79 l
Enough to cause a difference of several hogsheads to the gallon and a half.

Especially when they can visit North Korea/Missile-Mart (Eric Schmidt and Bill Richardson).
So after you stick your fingers in and puke, you rinse your mouth and drink a lot of water. Don't you do that anyway (I don't mean you personally :)

Ah, but then you're assuming he doesn't live in Republico-Fox-News-world.

For convenient hot composting, you could use an indoor electric composter. It does need some care and feeding though.

I understand you post in jest, but if you consider that those commands are typed thousands of times, the names make a lot of sense.

Really? You think paying a ticket and going to jail (with the attendant record, costs, loss of time, dangers, etc.) are comparable things?

Ah yes, Deckard, replicant or not. Wouldn't we like to know that one.
