This is Arizona. Lots of people here who came in without a passport. We have absolutely no idea what their medical history is. If we criticize this situation, we are automatically regarded by Washington as racists.

Giving half your test population of cancer patients a placebo may be merely unethical, but giving half your population of Ebola patiets a placebo could take out an entire country.
Socialists at least used to be noted for building large-s ale infrastructure, like Hoover Dam. Today all they can do is ladle out welfare benefits and fight meaningless academic battles involving identity groups.
US extradition treaties only cover actions that are crimes in both countries, which means that the only crimes you could be extradited to Saudi and beheaded for are drug offenses.
What I'm longing to see is the epic matter-antimafter collision that is about to occur between the Warmists and the No Nukers. This is why I'm secretly hoping for the worst-case greenhouse gas scenario to be validated.
For movies, yes. Netflix can get you anything you want fair and square, so why bother torrenting? On the other hand, the increasing number of nonsense restrictions on streamable content for current TV programs is making TV torrenting more attractive than ever. That cable channel site probably doesn't include your provider in its tiny Verify Your Provider list. ABC - a BROADCAST network - has now gone Verify Your Provider for all content.
I'm sure they do, from force of habit, which is why I keep encountering sluggish Windows systems that spring back to life as soon as I exorcise Norton Antivirus and put in Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast.
It started as one of my typical IT service calls: a Windows Vista laptop was clogged with malware and running slowly. I soon discovered that one of the major culprits was Conduit, a virus that wraps itself kudzu-like around browsers, making every Web page it touches into a hijacked slug. But the customer was running Incredimail, a mail client she loved and had been using for years. Apparently not long ago Conduit bought Incredimail and now requires that a certain amount of their malware be running to keep Incredimail going.
The Department of Justice already claims it can steal private property without a warrant or charges being filed, so declaring that power to be extended overseas is a logical next step.
This would be for dedicated sports fans: a spherical LCD with the screen on the inside surface. The user would enter the sphere through a small hatch (which would also be a screen on the inside) and go out on a catwalk to the center of the sphere where his strap-in, gimbleable, joystick-controlled La-Z-Boy would be. Game on, total immersion!
Facial recognition may be against the terms of the beta, but you can bet that in production this will be a major application for Glass. It will be a hit with prosopagnostics, for example, despite the social stigma against the product.
Contractors all over the world find it easy to bend whatever restrictions their own cultures may impose in applying tech of any kind when Dubai threatens to make a large purchase. Our best hope is that the technology will leak to ISIS. If the Silicon Valley beta experience is any guide, seeing Glass on Jihadi John in beheading videos to come will cause ISIS to suddenly lose favor with al-Ummah.
We complain about Google's data collection for demographics, but Microsoft is taking the next step: a version of Windows that can track your bank balances and most private fetishes. Profit!

Yes, in our spread-out country roads serve most of the country more efficiently than any mass transportation system ever could. For these trips our tech will advance in the direction of automated cars. But for those crowded corridors where you physically can't cram in any more traffic, there is a place for trains. Even Phoenix has a crosstown train now - just one line, and controversial to build, but the more traffic the city gets, the more certain it is that more lines will follow.

For a lot more examples of this, look up "Hollywood" and "rights holders".
It's not legal when the people already in the field have grandfathered rights to screw over the competition.

An anecdote is a tale someone else relates to you. I'm relating experiences.

After the Singularity, we'll get computer viruses and bad OS updates.

I'm waiting for Comcast to split into Hades and Gehenna.
That's a lot of Windows users unthinkingly renewing the subscription to the first-year-free Norton Slug that came with their computer.

Extraordinary climate change claims require extraordinary trolling to defend them.

Today, it became an anchor. SpaceX should drop out of the bidding and be free to develop its own vehicle according to its own rules.
