There are plenty of reasons why so many people (software developers and others) have moved to Seattle from the Bay Area. I have never heard any of them claim that our lack of state income tax is a reason.
And only a small percentage would consider going back any time soon.
The argument of the GP explicitly was that the FCC will surely fuck it up and ISPs should be the ones who run the show and set the rules.
That wasn't the original argument. The point was that everyone in the US will be affected by FCC rules, but that we could choose to switch ISPs if we didn't like the rules at one or another.
If you truly like what the FCC has done to radio, broadcast television, and the cell phone market, then I can't dissuade you.
As a condition of employment, why not require law enforcement officers to sign a contract consenting to audio and video recording during the performance of their duties?
(Exceptions could be made for bathroom breaks, as long as the cops were not pissing on a beating victim and claiming that it was a 'bathroom break'.)
Your analysis of history belongs in the early 20th century! Seriously, read a newer history book! China was developmentally ahead of the western world in many areas (statism, literature, economy) for centuries before the west figured out how to build guns and decent boats and subsequently conquer the world. The Chinese actually had the first two before us, but lacked the ambition to do the latter. Had the emperor not ordered him to stop, Zheng He could have gone to Europe and made us crap our pants with his huge fleet.
Perhaps the Ming Empire was more enlightened about the benefits of free trade vs. the costs of a warfaring empire.
The problem with China historically is their language. They simply cannot easily come up with new words and concepts, or even proper names. The result is that they can't advance as fast as more flexible languages. The ideas available to you are limited in large part by the ideas you have the ability to express.
I see you don't know much about the Chinese language.
Stefánsson and Anderson (and others of European background) have proven the health of the Inuit diet.
If you really wanted to prove that their diet was not suited to anyone of European background, you would need to have a large sample switch to that diet for a number of years. But how would you weed out the cheaters that did not eat only that diet? And how would you make sure you didn't accidentally select a more-healthy-than-normal group?
The problem for many people following low-carb diets is the failure to increase fats to over 50% of intake. I have heard people on a low-carb diet tell me that they are avoiding too much fat, or trying not to eat saturated animal fats. If they do, they will have problems. They really need the fat, including saturated animal fats. You are what you eat!
1) You can't maintain low-carb diet for longer periods without risking serious health problems. Carbs are essential in tissue regeneration and formation and preventing ketones (waste products) from polluting your body.
Groups like the Inuits, Masai, and others have thrived on a low-carb diet for centuries. They are extremely healthy on their native diets. But when they eat the same processed food that is more common in our diet, their health deteriorates and new problems like diabetes, cavities, and osteoporosis become common.
Why are these people so healthy on low-carb (or no-carb) diets?
2) You need to learn to balance your caloric intake with the needs of your body and the low-carb diet does not teach you that
3500 calories roughly amount to 1 pound of weight. That means if you eat 100 cal more than you eat per day, you're going to gain 10 pounds in a year. If you eat 100 cals less, you're going to loose those 10 pounds. It's as easy as that.
If you are assuming that your body handles 100 calories of carbohydrates the same as 100 cal of protein the same as 100 cal of fat, you are incorrect.
Not only are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats digested differently, they are absorbed at different rates. Eating carbohydrates with fibre is very different than eating simple carbs.
People who eat high-fat high-protein low-carb diets are extremely healthy and well-proportioned -- not too fat nor too thin.

I'll just wait for this guy to remake the original.
"Right to work states," have less employee protections in general (you are usually at will) but also less union protection.
Right-to-work laws and at-will employment are not the same thing.
Only 22 states currently are right-to-work states.
At-will employment is common all over the US (right-to-work states and otherwise), with some exceptions.
Mr. T just threatens users not to do any stupid shit.

That is typically called a lease. And 99 years is the most common term.

How about we compromise on this:
New Jersey (the setting for Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and House). . .
The 1981 annual report from Boeing specifically mentions selling uranium-enrichment centrifuges to Israel.
Also, watch out for the blue ice.
In the US, liquor typically comes in these sizes:
- pint (375 mL)
- fifth (750 mL)
- half-gallon (1.75 L)
Some brands also come in one litre bottles, and many brands sell miniature bottles holding only 50 mL (about one shot).

Just what kind of people become border guards anyway?

. . . another reason never to go to South Carolina.
If they need any help disposing of the remains, let me know.
A driver license does not verify citizenship.
Fremont is not in San Mateo county, so that is not the address that the search warrant listed.
A police officer simply must have knowledge of whether people are required to show ID.
You'd think so, but not here in Washington. Many of our cops moved here from Arizona -- meaning they are racist AND ignorant of our state laws.
That's because the government has not yet announced its related plan to blow up the moon.
You heard it here first.

I recommend the book Good Germs, Bad Germs by Jessica Snyder Sachs. (I'm pretty sure someone else on Slashdot recommended it, which is why I read it.)
In the past, doctors have given patients innocuous strains of staph or strep to prevent harmful strains (MRSA, etc.) from taking over.
In our litigious society, a lot of doctors and hospitals in the US won't risk it though.
