And the suits have gone nowhere wrt Boeing, because they have zero basis in fact. So what's your point again? It was determined that it was the airlines that didn't want to spend $200 per cabin to reinforce the flight doors, which the manufacturers had offered as an option. The airlines have a problem; Boeing never did because they would have been happy to reinforce the cabin doors and make some extra money.
This was from a documentary several years before 9/11.
Call me when Boeing is found liable. They never will be, and you know it. This is just lawyers suing everyone in sight in the hopes of getting paid to go away, not a serious lawsuit against Boeing.
So, pointing out the truth is now attacking someone? Okay, maybe it is in this case, for you trying to justify continuing to go along with a stupid decision made by someone else that will become unmaintainable once you leave/get hit by a truck/develop dementia.
An outsider could argue that you prefer it that way because it gives you job security, not because it's the best tool for the job (which it isn't going forward).
Attacking ruby and ruby on rails does not mean someone is a bitter person. Just means that all fads come to an end because the underpinnings suck. In other words, being a realist. Sounds to me that you're more than a bit bitter that you are stuck working with maintaining dead-end code and are risking being "pigeon-holed" as "the RoR Guy" who won't be called to do more interesting stuff.
More rhetorical bull shit. This is not soviet russia, where even photocopiers were not allowed without supervision, which gave rise to samizdat publishing. Nothing is stopping you or anyone else going into a store and buying a printer. Same as nothing is stopping you from taking one out of the junk and buying another ink or toner cartridge.
Again, you lie. The Facebook account was in clear violation of both the TOS and broadcast law (it was available to people under 18 without a disclaimer as to content).
If you don't like it, sue "the government". Or shut the fuck up, because if you don't sue them, you're by your inaction condoning their actions. (And yes, I've had to sue the government so I'm not being the flaming hypocrite you are).
"The government" did no such thing. Either produce the court order or quit lying. The police asked Facebook did as requested. Anyone could have asked Facebook to take it down because it was clearly in violation of the TOS.
Same as when a blogger account was illegally selling pharmaceuticals from Canada. I asked google to take it down, and they did within hours. Sure I "silenced" them - they too were in violation of the TOS. And I'm not the government.
There is no requirement for anyone, either as an individual or a business, to give a platform to anyone doing illegal stuff. Her making death threats while holding a shot gun is illegal pretty much everywhere, including Somalia. So again, start acting your age and not your shoe (or penis) size.
If you don't like the rules, change them instead of lying about them, trying to miscast events to suit your own assinine libertarian "the people can do no wrong" agenda.
Don't be silly. The manufacturer never had liability in the first place. You don't see any calls against Boeing for making the 4 airliners that were used in 9/11. Call me back when gun manufacturers are held liable.
They're giving a quarter million tickets away (to unpopular events) because the sea of unoccupied seats is embarrassing them. You'd think that drones flying overhead would show that someone is interested.
Not if you make it free and easy for everyone who is entitled to one to get it. The reason the courts set aside the ID requirement is because minorities are more likely to have problems getting a valid ID - and that includes US citizens of colour.
Once everyone has equal access to voter ID, then the courts won't object to it, since that was the basis of rejecting voter ID in the first place.
Your information is seriously screwed up. The majority on both sides don't like their candidate. Ditto the electorate in general - they don't like either of them, and it's hard to convince people to vote for someone they don't like.
Going from today's ipsos/reuters poll, hardly anyone thinks either candidate is "fine and dandy."
BTW - you really need to learn what the constitution says about freedom of expression. It doesn't say what you seem to think it does. You want to buy your own printing press, you are free to publish what you want. Don't want to buy a printing press, the owner can tell you to fuck off, and they are not depriving you of your freedom of expression. Same with any other platform. Either set up your own site or abide by the rules of the host.
The ToS is a contract. The user was in violation of that contract. Your position would be that contracts are invalid. Good luck convincing anyone of that.
Except that the government didn't take illegal action except in your deluded mind. Nowhere does it say that it's illegal to ask a web site to suspend a user. The reason you piss off people is because your arguments come from a 13-year-old's simplistic imitation of logic. Fact-free, same as your claim that the police took illegal action to ask Facebook to suspend the account.
why settle for one day? Just use the advance polls. And get rid of the "registered democrat" or "registered republican" bullshit. If you have valid ID, you vote. Simple.
No. Read what i posted previously. the rate of drug use is far lower among those on welfare than the general population, as proven by 7 states implementing drug testing rules for welfare recipients (I even posted the link, but you can also find more on your own).
Are you claiming that you have only seen poor people who use alcohol, tobacco or drugs? Or that people who aren't poor don't use alcohol, tobacco, or drugs? Same reasoning as your stupid comment. Stop trying to be a smart-ass; you lack the first, and have way too much of the last.
That has been an increasing problem of late. They use a redirect, the redirected site uses javascript to identify the phone platform, and then say you have a virus and you need to get rid of it. Google's logo is also shown to give it some legitimacy, and trying to close the window doesn't work.
I thought wire fraud was a federal criminal offense.
You really have no idea what Trump represents, do you? Trump could very well destroy America if elected.
Too late. Reagan already did that, with his "trickle-up economics", where all the improvements in productivity for the last 40 years trickle up to the upper class. for an increasing number of people, the american dream will remain a dream, out of reach even though they've done all the right things.
why trust anything from liberal or conservative outlets? they all have spin. you need to be able to pick out the facts from any "reporting" done by either.
Not all gmo crops are "roundup ready." Strawberries that are resistant to frost are just one example. Tomatoes that have a longer shelf life, GMO tomatoes have been around for 2 decades with no problems. Turns out the people you know are none too swift. Most of the food on store shelves contains gmos.
Single parents, military personnel, and others who are on food stamps because their jobs don't pay enough, this is just an insult. Booze and drugs aren't exactly free, so the poorer you are, the dearer they become.
Bet they'd catch a ton of politicians, cops, and judges in any mandatory pee in the cup scheme.

Why would I think that that shithole is in the US? The US already has more than enough shitholes.

did you even read your link? it's not free. also, that's just for one state. and who wants to talk to dhs under any circumstances?
At this point, you need international observers. Same as any other country that can't guarantee honest elections on its own.

People stopped having the right to expect more from journalism when they stopped paying for it.
Advertisers always paid the cost of journalism. Subscription fees and newsstand sales paid the cost of producing and distributing the physical paper.
And others have access to the raw data after 7 years. You're not the only person in the world, you know (oops, apparently you didn't).
Not all gmo crops are "roundup ready." Strawberries that are resistant to frost are just one example. Tomatoes that have a longer shelf life, GMO tomatoes have been around for 2 decades with no problems. Turns out the people you know are none too swift.

To get rid of all those f*ckers. About time, too. Maybe they can apply it elsewhere (hint, hint)?
Single parents, military personnel, and others who are on food stamps because their jobs don't pay enough, this is just an insult. Booze and drugs aren't exactly free, so the poorer you are, the dearer they become.

They did a mandatory drug testing program for people on welfare. Turns out that only 1% had illegal drugs in their system, as opposed to 10% of the general population.
Take your own advice. Quit making the poor into something they are not.
