The Supreme Court ruling held that a corporation's free speech derives from the rights of the individuals composing it, and not from some concept of corporate personhood, which is a left-wing bogeyman meme that won't die.
Congress doesn't get to create organizations and then strip them of rights like free speech.
If you don't like it, please promote a constitutional amendment and convince a supermajority of people it is a good idea, rather han declaring it fait accompli using a simple majority. "But it's a great idea and you really want it", sayeth the cackling power-hungry politician, "let's put our transient, simple majority to work!" hasn't worked out so well historically.
Not really. Best not to look into which hurts the common man's pocketbook more -- this cartel or the one on six people on the public dole for "stress" or "lower back pain".
I hope some agency shuts them down for not getting permission. Would serve the dying West right.
Also, a manned outpost doesn:t sound like a suicide mission per se. For years I've been saying launch a series of rockets and use robots to assemble a functioning habitat with years of food and renewable food and water. Only then send humans. The all eggs in one basket is the design of murderous idiots.
Practice by buildng and inhabiting same on the moon.
While I see the difficulties with thousands of links, nevertheless this should just be a tool, and at some point a human has to double-check things. This should be on the claimant as they are the one under penalty of perjury. Where's the penalties anyway? It should be less than for deliberate perjury, but lesser the same way running over someone accidentally is less of a penalty than deliberately. The slap should cause taking notice, otherwise it's not slappy enouh.

This is the lion's share, but even comparing white populations there is a difference.
If there's any consolation to us in the US, if you get heart disease or diabetes and need treatment, care is better here. After all, doctor success scales with number of times they perform procedures.
I'll bet the bulk of the racial disparity is more obesity-related, for that matter.
You want $4.3 trillion in spending this year? Of course you do. The only thing worse than you paying for it is your bratty grandkids. Oh, and taxing the rich, go for it, but you're still over a trillion short per year. Also, it is just an accounting gimmick anyway, you will still pay for it out of purchases.
Cheap? I'm old enough to remember the electric company giving out free lightbulbe in exchange for your burnt-out ones. It encouraged electricity use.
Then came the usual corporate-government ripoff partnership where business interests used a left-wing (think: Theodore Roosevelt, Republican) concept of anti-competitive behavior. Phillips sued and a judge, not Congress, decided it shall be illegal.
Most of you are confused by his post because you were trained in a meme-world based on a traditional left-right political axis, rather than a control-vs.-freedom axis, with anarch and dictatorship, facets of the same disease process, on one end, and a free yet secure state on the other, where neither thug nor government offical may seize yer stuff.
This has the additional property of good explanatory and predictive power.
Gay marriage is legal in several US states now, as is marijuana. We are not a monolithic nation, in spite of what 90 years of meme growth would have you believe.
By the way, looking at it as such is probably more due to politicians growing power at the federal level, promising goodies to all.
Only after removing the macroscopic lumps first using normal toilet paper.
I recommend removing the roll from the roller and putting two fingers in it (the roll, not the butt) for maximum whip-around buildup of waddage.
Brush the lumps gently -- if they are dried, just pull them; you don't want the hairs embedded in them anyway. If wet and they smear, settle in for a long wiping haul.
Once the lumps are gone and no more smearing appears on a fresh wad (flush from time to time to prevent plugging) do a wipe down with a fresh wad. You will be stunned.
Only when neither a wipe up nor down yields brown should one then use a wet wipe.
Hopefully you will not have needed the plunger. Also, never look in the bottom of a plunger. Especially one at a public rest room.

On the other hand, City of Heroes shut down last night. It was everything those games aren't -- Innovative, fast, cheap, true 3-D travel, very powerful compared to monsters, which come at you in masses.
Wireless had hideously slow data rates. While a handful of people could pump big emails perhaps, not thousands of people at once. You'd be waiting forever.
A mere 15 years ago, people were investigating using "Cue" modules, which contractually used the short text message RDS capability of radio individual stations, but to send personal messages.
Nowadays people send messages both short and long, as well as pictures of things both short and long! Yey, now!
Re-imaging is a kind of factory reset, in this case, to what the school's IT department says is a standard load for these kinds of school computers. Which may also be no special load, just reset Windows to a fresh install.
Generally, though, only Windoew+ whatever the school had would be installed. Executables generally would not be preserved -- that's the point of a reimage. And data preservation probably isn't done unless specially requested, which doesn't include installed executables anyway.
In spite of all this and the nasty subject, I'm still not comfortable giving the spying government official the benefit of the doubt rather than the spied-upon citizen. It is hardly shocking to anyone to suggest he may be lying out his ass.
If they wish to have a class teaching creation myths around the world, go for it.
If they want to teach creationism as a scientifically valid theory, that's wrong. It is inherently religious and thus should not receive support from government. Let privately-funded schools teach it to their heart's content. But it isn't the business of government to fund religion.
And yes, official state religions in European countries are anachronisms that need to go, too.
He at least created a grand-scale epic story of the type Joseph Campbell talked about, regardless of nitpicking. Tolkein's stuff may be new movies, but it is well over 30 years old.
The only other big pop story that comes close is The Matrix. But unlike the prequels, gets worse with each movie. After the first ends, only the epic Smith/Neo battle at the end stands out.
Physical scientists have a notoriously bad record predicting economic impacts of their physical science. The best thng to do may be nothing and let technology continue advancing rapidly.
Imagine people in the year 1900, the idiocy of them crushing their economy in hopes of staving off global warming. We would decidedly not be better off in 2012 with 1970-level tech (or 1980 or, gag, 1950) but no global warming.
A quick look at many countries nowadays shows massive interference can not just slow things down but drive it retrograde. North Korea, for example.
Now, having said that, there are potentially much cheaper ameliorations. I don't recommend those either as an overshoot could induce an ice age, which records show can come on in as little as a year or two -- one year where winter snowfall doesn't melt, and buttloads of energy are reflected all summer, bringing on a hideous winter, and poof. Not small difficulties of moving back from the ocean over a century, but billions dead in a year or two.

By the way, Slashdot, you suck on this browser as long text entry fields here cannot be scrolled down very far. It's you, other web sites are fine.

Hobbit movie, suckered in?
I don't know whether to mod your Hobbit post -1 Troll or +1 Troll.
Lazy!
Nobody has a problem with legitimate warrants. It's the requirement to store long-term that's the problem.
If a company chooses to store, and lets you know, that's no problem. It's government wanting to store it just in case that is.
Don't let the tools of tyrrany get built to begin with. That should be built into the DNA of every American.

Well, there's always Euro coins to make the screens go up in Amsterdam.
For every one kid who programs, hundreds will just download stuff from web sites. There will always be lame nerds who freely give away their stuff.
