You're missing the obvious point. As soon as it is known that a given high risk individual is given more attention at security, they will no longer be a high risk because terrorists will simply use people who don't match the profile.
A terrorists in Saudi Arabia already stuffed explosives up his butt. None of our current security measures can catch that, and obviously it is what someone willing to kill themselves to blow up a plane will do if all others ways of concealing weapons are eliminated.
If we don't do something to cover that scenario, all our other security is a waste of time. So, what are you willing to be subjected to by the TSA to prevent the next colon bomber?
You didn't read what he said. Rope is composed of long shots, but they are edited together to have the appearance of even longer shots then was technically possible. The shots in the film are limited to 10 minutes by the length of film that the cameras could hold.
That sounds nice and all, but I'm not so sure it would accomplish anything. As Heinlein said, never try to teach a pig to sing. By all indications the MPAA are clearly pigs when it comes to DRM.
What do you suggest Netflix do? When their entire business is about providing content from movie studios then obviously their relationship with the studios has to be paramount. Do you seriously think it would improve the user experience by losing access to all the major studios content?
Yeah, the stock browser has a Flash plugin which is updated via the market as all other apps are. This is talking about the HTC Sense browser using a Flash Lite plugin which apparently auto-updates via its own mechanism separate from the market.
Actually this sounds like it is an HTC Sense issue, not an Android issue. Android doesn't come with a browser that uses Flash Lite. And since HTC Sense is not open, people can not make their own fixes.
False, the electoral college existed as a check to the tyranny of ignorant voters. The idea is that if voters wanted to elect someone who was unqualified the educated electors could overrule them. This no longer works anymore since most electors are required to comply with the outcome of their states election, therefore all the electors do now is unjustly make it so that voters in small states are worth more than voters in large states.
Am I wrong about English language Google searches not being blocked in China? I didn't mean to say that they don't block any English language content, just that it isn't a high priority and much of it does remain unfiltered.
The fact that they aren't familiar with English language satire doesn't say much about their web savvy. I'm sure their comprehension of Chinese language websites is good enough to pick up on this news..
Yeah, well that is the classic American Jesus interpretation of the "eye of a needle" story, but it's wrong.
And where do you get the idea that Jesus was wealthy? That's another silly Americanism I guess. What was the source of his supposed wealth? Carpentry? I've never heard any evidence of that, it is likely that he and his disciples lived off the charity of his followers.
I'm gonna have to ask for a citation here. AFAIK, pretty much the only thing we know officially about Gingerbread is that the rumors about it from a few months ago are BS.
In this case voters who choose English as their language (i.e. the majority of voters) end up with Angle as the default pick. Only Spanish speakers get Reid picked for them. So although this isn't an example of Republican election rigging, it does fit the mold.
About ~30% of the population of Vegas is Latino, and obviously a lot of them prefer to use English. That being the case it seems highly unlikely that Spanish speakers would be the majority of voters.
I'm actually surprised that the movie industry would be pushing for 3D in home. With the way that home theaters and downloaded movies cut into ticket sales, I would have expected them to want 3D as a way to lure people to the theaters.

Really, that sounds more like the answer to "How do you get a neutral antiparticle to skip town and never be heard from again".
Agreed. Locked cockpit doors and I would add air marshals on every flight are probably the only worthwhile security changes the TSA made.

Do you have any examples of the conservative math and science that I missed out on because of my partisan teachers?
You're leaving out the fact that group B's ideas have been tried in the past and failed resulting in the present mess we are in.
Am I wrong about English language Google searches not being blocked in China? I didn't mean to say that they don't block any English language content, just that it isn't a high priority and much of it does remain unfiltered.
My understanding is that China doesn't care about English language websites. For example, only Chinese language search results are censored by Google.

Hell no, there's plenty of liberalism in San Diego. If the conservatives need part of California they can have Bakersfield.

Umm, I left Verizon before Google had Android. They sucked then and I've seen no reason to give them another try. I'm quite happy with T-Mobile.

I left Verizon because of the lousy, locked-down firmware they put on their phones. Customer satisfaction must count for something.

What? Since when are baseball players attached to a pendulum? I'm pretty sure they have to rely on traction to round those bases.
These days? Have you seen a picture of Babe Ruth?
