You're forgetting the most obvious, Bush v Gore. Since when does the SCOTUS intervene in a state's election process in order to "select" the POTUS? Because somehow Florida's voter's rights are "violated" by the recall process not being completed by Dec 12, 2000? And the judicial solution is for the SCOTUS to "thwart" a recount?
You have as much right to kill a fetus as your appendix. Fetus is not a human being; its a batch of cells that may become a human being. If a fetus dying is an abortion, God is the greatest abortionist.
Also, what people sadly don't understand about suicide that its genetically predisposed, and an impulsive act. Its much more effective to use a firearm to kill yourself, than a knife. As a public health issue, its not unreasonable to make it more difficult for the suicidally predisposed to own handguns, just as firearm possession is banned for felons. (Nothing in the CotUS that suggests its lawful to keep firearms away from citizen felons.)
That's linux desktop. Linux as a server platform pretty much owns the world.
And don't forget the Windows 10 fuckup; not that its fucked up in execution of computing tasks. Win10 has become such a bloated "Big Brother" nightmare, it may be the final straw that permanently drives me to a linux desktop. Thank god for Steam. But I have an oddball computing perspective, since I believe the future of computing platforms will be driven from subscription cloud services, maybe a bit before the self-driving car.
Well, unless the L4 or Viengoos variants of Hurd come good.
Wow, you are easily almost a decade behind on the HURD soap opera. In academia, HURD has always been a brand name picked up by every semi-ambitious PhD candidate for work on their masters/doctoral thesis on computing. Viengoos was a microkernel addressing security issues with IPC which the author dreamt would be used to replace the MACH microkernel. Once he got his doctorate & real job, he left Viengoos behind. There's no management behind the HURD curtain to pick up where he left off. HURD is the Dread Pirate Roberts of OS platforms.
Ironically, there is an open source L4 variant that has been getting buzz a year or few ago called SeL4. The big deal about that was the math geeks have been able to conclude that its design is theoretically "secure" of all the IPC problems with previous L4 microkernels. But L4 is nothing like the MACH u-kernel, which is a decrepit dinosaur of 1980s u-kernel design. HURD would have to be significantly rewritten to take advantage of SeL4. More likely, someone would just write a MACH emulation layer on top of SeL4 to get the whole HURD thing to work. It then would be pointless since the legacy HURD code never really worked in itself, and it wouldn't be taking advantage of SeL4's design. That's why HURD is a huge, hoary joke in the computing industry.
The industry has long moved past 1980's u-kernel theory, to hypervisors and "modern" u-kernel implementations. Only the clueless that follow it like WWE wrestling don't realize that its a fake.
If I'm thinking about putting down a data center, I'm not thinking of the place that needs the most A/C due to climate. Canada is supposed to have cheap hydro-electric, and if its located a northern latitude, it doesn't need much A/C to keep cool.
A lot of rich Arabs running around the Western music scene in the 1970's. Doesn't surprise me a bit. But I'm guessing you think Arab princes sit in unairconditioned tents all day or riding camels?
Bowie's best work was before the disco era. Bowie's work at the time of the Disco era I'd peg at Diamond Dogs (which was really more about capturing the Philly Soul scene. Yes, the man was ahead of his time.) For whatever reason, his synchronicity with Disco was quite late, with China Girl.
Nothing prevents me as a law-abiding citizen from owning guns and building up a small arsenal to slaughter people in the name of Santa Claus.
Nothing yet.
All the intelligence agencies won't have the slightest clue if I keep to myself and don't broadcast my intentions to the world at large.
You probably haven't read this yet. This is why the NSA collects metadata on every person on earth, including US citizens. Between the NSA and your tax form submissions, credit card purchases, and websearches, eventually computers will catalogue you, threat assess you, and put you on a list; assuming they haven't accomplished that already.
No, Kasich is better than Bush in the "mainstream establishment" niche, but that's like rooting for Huntsman in the previous POTUS election cycle. And I'd take Rand Paul before Bush.
That is a tiny amount of dead at the hands of America, in the past 70 years. Think about the amount of dead generated by the USSR alone from Stalin, or the amount of dead generated by Mao. We really are the most enlightened nation on earth. SMH.
Perfect response. Too bad I loathe Cruz almost as much as I loathe Rubio & Trump. Here's to hoping Sanders wins the Democratic nomination so I don't have to vote for Clinton.
Didn't think the NSA was about collecting meta-data & wiretaps (illegally) on Americans until the Snowden revelations. All those programs were in place for decades, but I presumed they were only used on foreign nationals. Once I saw evidence the gov't was violating the law with impunity, I ceased to give Obama the benefit of the doubt.
You personal gun will never be effective against a nation state, they have tanks.
Guns give options to stupid people to resist tyranny. You can't count on college types to protect you from tyranny. The military/secret police will just threat profile every college student that took chem lab. But the military of 200K soldiers and X number of cops can't resist 20 million dummies who can shoot at them. Hence, the people cannot be subject to an arbitrary government tyranny as long as they possess firearms.

That does not make any evolutionary sense. Source ?

Firearm law avoidance, like tax avoidance, is not illegal activity.
Assholes think any geeky act are done by assholes.

Most bright people learn not to wrestle with pigs.
Except you're not a lawyer specializing in civil rights or international law, so your proclamation really doesn't mean shit.

1) Floodplains aren't unique to the coast, and the Mississippi River network goes far from the oceans.
2) Tornadoes.

would require an amendment, but it could be done
The CotUS does not include protections for intellectual property. Congress just has to pass a law dismantling legal recognition of copyright.
Punk didn't kill Disco. In fact, it didn't "flourish" until well after the Disco era. What replaced Disco commercially was "New Wave" & Rap.
Bowie's best work was before the disco era. Bowie's work at the time of the Disco era I'd peg at Diamond Dogs (which was really more about capturing the Philly Soul scene. Yes, the man was ahead of his time.) For whatever reason, his synchronicity with Disco was quite late, with China Girl.
