The only reason I can think of for this kind of government censorship is if there is some national security related issue with the blogs on this site. I wonder if it's related to those Russian spies they caught recently? A terrorist plot? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough....
I agree with you for the most part, but you left out something important. While, yes, globalization has been driving down salaries of the middle class, it's also reduced the cost of living of the middle class, as well as created a middle class in developing countries like China and India.
It's not that globalization is universally bad -- it's just bad for salaries of middle class workers in developed nations.

Believe it or not, I've never heard of that site before today.

Interstate trade is regulated by Congress, according to the constitution. Courts have held that all taxes on trade between states are an unconstitutional restraint on trade. The only exception is alcohol, which is granted an exception by the 21st amendment.
I shouldn't have to jailbreak it! It should allow this stuff out of the box! Perhaps a warning to idiots that 'The software you are about to install was not vetted by Apple, and therefore could cause your phone to stop working, catch fire, or give you a paper cut and pour lemon juice in it. Apple accepts no responsibility, but if you reeeeealy want to do it anyway... click this button three times while singing the national anthem."
How ironic that the Russian free market system can produce a feat like this, and our socialist system needs to struggle to meet our responsibilities to the ISS.
The NRC should require the company to hold in trust sufficient funding to dismantle a plant in the event of the company going under, or to take out an insurance policy to guard against this event.
For those not in the know, these prisoners are a tough case. The Chinese don't want them back (they're nasty separatist rebels to them), and they don't want to go back to China as it is for fear of waking up one morning with a bullet in their heads. They really don't belong in Gitmo -- they're not full-on Al Qaeda. Nobody in the US wants to grant them asylum because they're former gitmo detainees. The last thing the US wants is to release them to somebody like Yemen or Saudi Arabia, where they can become full-on Al Qaeda. A US judge said they have to be released, but didn't specify to which country. This whole thing is just a mess...
Magazines and newspapers have a specific content-to-ad ratio set by the publisher. The amount of ads they sell determines how thick or thin the publication will be. Here's an example:
A newspaper publisher sets his content-to-ad ratio at 50% (exactly half ads / half content). If he sells twenty pages worth of ads, he will have twenty pages worth of content, for a total of forty pages. If he sells two more pages of ads, then he will add two pages of content.
The reason your paper keeps getting thinner is because fewer people are making ad buys. The fewer the ads, the fewer the articles.
That being said, there are a few content pages that are immune to a loss of advertising space -- things like the comics page, the sports scores, stock market reports, etc. Aside from those, however, everything else is getting cut.
Why the hell do we need javascript in a document reader in the first place? Acrobat is not a web browser, and I fail to see any situation that justifies a scripting language that has nothing to do with static documents. I suppose it could be useful for some fill-in forms, but that's about it.
Seems like a solution in search of a problem to me.
I took a look at that video, and while nifty, I could see no practical purpose beyond a child's toy for those, and an incredibly expensive one at that. There's no way, with existing manufacturing efficiencies and raw material costs, you could get those down to under $100 per block - way too pricey for any toddler who's just going to kill it. Get them below $10 a block and they become a viable toy. Those will take off if and only if somebody figures out how to make money using them, not just occupying their children.
This rev of the DSi is really underwhelming. I traded my old DS phat in for $50 off of the DSi, and though the upgraded screen is nice, I'll never use the damned camera. It doesn't support mp3. Downloadable games are nice, but I haven't found a single one worth downloading at launch. I'm hoping somebody comes up with a way to play old snes roms on it via the SD card -- if that happens, then my purchase was totally worth it. Otherwise, I'd have stuck with a DS lite if I had that option.
correction: The church opposes IVF because of the question of what happens to the embryos. The church does not necessarily oppose fertility treatments that do not involve creation of embryos without the intention of carrying them to term.
The SDI was nothing but a bluff designed to fake out the Soviets into attempting to develop something that we had already determined to be way too expensive and impractical to ever be of any real use. It worked marvelously, contributing to the demise of the Soviet Union.
The down side was that Reagan looked like a fool to anyone smart enough to realize the dog would never hunt, because he had to sell it to the American people before the Soviets would believe it.
If you had read the first paragraph of TFA, you would have read this:
demonstrate a viable sensing capability, as well as integration with other space systems to offer threat and hazard detection, assessment and notification.
In other words, it's not so much about protecting the satellite, but confirming that the satellite was or was not hit by some sort of laser. That would be some pretty valuable intelligence, if you ask me. The system will tell DOD that somebody's shooting at their stuff, not preventing someone from shooting at them.
Horse urine can't cure cancer, although it is used in hormone replacement therapy. I suppose some cancer patients driven to early menopause due to radiation and chemotherapy do use it, though...
Adrian Cronauer: Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

The compusa brand was purchased and relaunched by tiger direct. Same crappy service, though.

No! State hours requirements are still valid for private schools, at least in Illinois. I know - I graduated from a private school.

We will be forced to adapt. I suggest we start planning for it.
Does anyone still believe anymore that we will still turn climate change around?

Well, the last time we had a Tory party in the US, that type of thing happened on a fairly regular basis...

And if you're within 2 hours drive, their store in West Chicago, IL is well worth the trip.
