For $60/year/1TB you can go out and buy an external hard drive every year for less that that. Other than the convenience of being able to access your docs anywhere, this service can't be worth it at that price.
Serious question since I won't go to Windows 10 I may have to go to Apple. If I buy an Apple laptop or desktop, must I create an Apple account to use my machine? Can I not simply buy it, create an admin account and user account and go to work?
Many of the protesters, like my roommate, were paid
Of course they were. And Santa Claus helped as well since it's his off season.
This is like listening to RT or the lies coming out of Putin's mouth. Any time anyone disagrees with the government confiscating people's lands they're suddenly "subversive" or an "NGO" whose sole job is to take down the government.
The amount of disinformation is staggering and the worst part is the uneducated deplorables who voted for the con artist believe it.
The idea was when people went to concerts, they wore a thin headband which transmitted your electrical energy to the singer who wore a suit with conductive fibers in it. The more excited the crowd was, the more power the singer received.
The ending was the woman singer killing herself with the help of the sound/electrical guy by having the suit overload itself.
Cannot remember the name of the story. It was part of a collection of short stories in a monthly/quarterly book, similar in size to Reader's Digest. This would have been sometime in the 70s.
No, of course not. All those freshly dug graves of Russian soldiers suddenly appearing and reporters being attacked investigating the sudden increase in dead Russian soldiers mean absolutely nothing.
"If the predictions of an increase in sea level rise as a result of global warming prove correct, however, it is likely that there will be a corresponding increase in coastal erosion rates not just in Doughmore Bay but around much of the coastline of Ireland. In our view, it could reasonably be expected that the rate of sea level rise might become twice of that presently occurring.... As a result, we would expect the rate of dune recession to increase."
Even more interesting is they used an Irish government's study about the effects of erosion through 2050, then said that study failed to take into account the effects of climate change. Which is why he petitioned to build the sea wall. Because of the effects of climate change.
The very headline of your fourth link states that the weapons airdrop to the Kurds accidentally hit the wrong place, and they had to destroy them to stop Daesh from getting them.
It sounds like you have a hard time grasping the freedom of not being tied down by the financial responsibility of owning your own car.
It sounds like you have a hard time grasping the freedom of not being tied down by the time responsibility of having to wait for someone, or something, to go do what you want.
Unlike those you sneer at, they don't have to wait for a cab or bus or train. They don't stand around wasting time waiting for someone else. They're already on their way and enjoying themselves. They go where they want, when they want, completely independent of anyone else's schedule on how to get where they want to go.
Further, considering the extra costs of living in a city, they far out weigh the "financial responsibility of owning your own car". When combined with the enormous amount of waiting to get somewhere, the cost of not having a car outstrips that of having one.
Flynn, well, we know about his numerous ties to Russia and that he lied about not having any.
Carter Page, who at first said he never helped the Russians with classified or other such materials, then changed his tune to "no comment" when asked about the investigation into his dealings with Russia, and now is saying, "No I'm not going to hand over evidence of my dealings with the Russians so you can hang me with it."
Then today, the Senate committee investigating collusion between Trump and Russia during the campaign has asked the Treasury Department's criminal division to hand over any and all documents related to Trump, his campaign and campaign aides.
A party can either accept the GPL in all its parts, or not have any rights to distribute the work or its derivatives whatsoever.
Sounds a lot like every EULA and software license out there. You can either accept it in all its parts, or not have any right to use of the software whatsoever. Yet somehow people keep making excuses for why "sharing" software doesn't violate anything because nothing is lost.
Easy: Hillary was corrupt, incompetent, dishonest, war-mongering, and a party-hack. Bozo the Clown would have been a better choice than Hillary.
As opposed to Trump who is corrupt (hiring illegal workers and not paying them as well as colluding with a foreign government during the election), has repeatedly shown his incompetence (I thought it would be easier), has lied since day one (Hillary's not in jail, Obamneycare wasn't repealed on day one, Mexico isn't paying for the wall, the swamp is filled almost to capacity and he's gone golfing more times in three months than Obama went in an entire year), has gotten several service members killed already because of his penchant to use the military without thought, and a hack of the highest order as shown by the chaos of his administration where one hand literally does not know what the other is doing.
Apparently your co-worker didn't read far enough down the page:
Entrapment is concerned with whether the police (the state) corrupted you to commit a crime you weren't otherwise inclined to commit.
A common theme you're going to come across in American criminal law is that we don't like the state to override your free will, (emphasis mine) and force you to get yourself in trouble.
And a bit further down:
Sorry, Grayson. They can ask all they want. All you had to say was No.
Because there would always be some loophole a corporate attorney would find which would allow the company to enrich the C room or do something stupid like a stock buy back rather than do something useful with the money.
If you made the rule airtight, companies wouldn't bother bringing the money back into this country because they'd claim you're interfering with their right to do with their money what they want.
Know what happened the last time the U.S. gave a tax amnesty to corporations? Nothing.
The Trumper has flip flopped and lied about everything which has come out of his mouth so this shouldn't surprise anyone. Here's what he said only a week ago:
"Rigorous science is critical to my administration's efforts to achieve the twin goals of economic growth and environmental protection."
"My administration is committed to advancing scientific research that leads to a better understanding of our environment and of environmental risks," Trump said. "As we do so, we should remember that rigorous science depends not on ideology, but on a spirit of honest inquiry and robust debate.
What better way to advance scientific research and allow for honest inquiry and robust debate than to wipe from the record, the very research one claims to support.

obama wanted single payer. what we got, 'obamacare', is actually modeled after 'romneycare'.. a republican created fuck-up put in place in Massachusetts
As the above article shows, there were two key parts:
1) All citizens should be guaranteed universal access to health care
2) Mandate all households obtain adequate insurance
And this article goes into more depth about how Republicans like Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich were pushing for mandated health insurance which required people, not employers, to buy insurance.
In other words, Republicans got exactly what they wanted, and they're pissed.
It should be self-evident if new housing construction plummets as it did in 2007-2009, all the industries who rely on housing construction would also cut back their production of products. It's the only time trickle down works.
That's because Thomas, like Scalia, is an idiot. They both claimed to be "originalists" which, if they were to follow that meaning, would clearly mean the right to privacy which is covered under the 9th Amendment. The one which says, "We can't list every single right the people have so we're making this catch-all amendment to cover things. Just because we don't list it in this document doesn't mean you don't have it."
When the crown was routinely going through people's correspondence, or barging into homes and seeing what was there, how could one not understand the Founding Fathers wanted the people to both be secure in their homes and possessions as well as have the right to privacy in their lives?
The Constitution is a restriction on the government over the people. To not grasp that one's privacy is inherent in that limitation renders ones intelligence in doubt.

Besides, it's not as if they listen to plebes. Gotta give them cash before they deign to acknowledge your presence.

45% of Americans do not pay any federal income taxes. The richest 20% of Americans pay nearly 87% of all the federal income tax
Not entirely correct. Based on the 2014 tax year, it's the top 25% who pay the ~87% of all federal income tax.
Also, the top 50% pay for 97% of all federal income taxes collected. People making as little as $38,173 are part of that 50%.
If the robot screws up during your heart surgery you will most likely be dead.
If the robot screws up your bank account you will most likely be broke but still alive and have to go through the torment of proving you had money.

There are no Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
No, of course not. All those freshly dug graves of Russian soldiers suddenly appearing and reporters being attacked investigating the sudden increase in dead Russian soldiers mean absolutely nothing.
Don't forget the Russian special forces soldiers captured in Ukraine, the Russian officer captured while transporting ammunition and supplies, the Russian soldiers who have dropped the pretense they're not fighting in Ukraine while others have quit the army because they don't want to fight in Ukraine like their comrades. Then there are the terrorists themselves who fully admit Russian soldiers have been fighting for them.
So yeah, no evidence whatsoever of Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
Your current leader thinks it's fiction (along with most of slashdot of course), so that should be a great comfort to you. Nothing bad will happen
Not so fast. His Orangeness most certainly does believe in climate change. It's the very reason he cited in his application to build a sea wall for an Irish golf course. Specifically:
"If the predictions of an increase in sea level rise as a result of global warming prove correct, however, it is likely that there will be a corresponding increase in coastal erosion rates not just in Doughmore Bay but around much of the coastline of Ireland. In our view, it could reasonably be expected that the rate of sea level rise might become twice of that presently occurring. ... As a result, we would expect the rate of dune recession to increase."

As opposed to when Russia handed over an entire forward operating base full of equipment to ISIS, and the Syrian "army" joined in by giving ISIS even more equipment.
For obvious reasons, the OP would never mention this because the factual narrative would cause an aneurysm.

Ignore ALL these narrative headlines and articles until they read "HERE IS THE PROOF...".
Like Trump saying he was told three times by Comey he wasn't under investigation yet has not provided anything to back up this claim?
How about Trump claiming voter fraud yet again, providing no proof?
People being bused in to vote?
There's more, but we'll keep ignoring his orangeness until he says, "HERE IS THE PROOF...".
Comey has found NOTHING after over a year of trying to prove a link between Trump and the Russians.
It hasn't been a year yet (July or August of 2016 is when the investigation started) so it hasn't been over a year.
There are plenty of links between Trump and Russia when you look at the folks on his campaign and their own connections. Roger Stone bragged on several occasions he was in communication with Guccifer 2.0 and knew when the next batch of emails was going to be released. Guccifer 2.0 is part of the Russian intelligence services.
Flynn, well, we know about his numerous ties to Russia and that he lied about not having any.
Carter Page, who at first said he never helped the Russians with classified or other such materials, then changed his tune to "no comment" when asked about the investigation into his dealings with Russia, and now is saying, "No I'm not going to hand over evidence of my dealings with the Russians so you can hang me with it."
As we saw a day or so ago, Eric Trump bragged that it was Russians who were financing his father's golf courses during the Bush recession. This on top of other financial dealings Trump has with Russia.
Then today, the Senate committee investigating collusion between Trump and Russia during the campaign has asked the Treasury Department's criminal division to hand over any and all documents related to Trump, his campaign and campaign aides.
That doesn't sound like "nothing important".
A party can either accept the GPL in all its parts, or not have any rights to distribute the work or its derivatives whatsoever.

I do not think you know what the legal definition of entrapment is. Actually, I know you don't based on your post.
I always refer to this when people spout off about entrapment. It doesn't get any more clear than this.

So, what's the cost of wasting an entire day, visiting several stores, to not find what you're looking for?
If you're wasting an entire day going shopping, you're either doing it wrong, or your stores are twenty miles apart from each other.

obama wanted single payer. what we got, 'obamacare', is actually modeled after 'romneycare'.. a republican created fuck-up put in place in Massachusetts
Actually, what we got was based on, and followed very closely, the proposal put forth by the Heritage Foundation in 1989.
As the above article shows, there were two key parts:
1) All citizens should be guaranteed universal access to health care
2) Mandate all households obtain adequate insurance

The wife is still dead, whether this story is true or not.
So every time someone is murdered we shouldn't look for their killers because the person will still be dead? We should let criminals roam free?
Would these suffice?
Sharpest drop in 27 years
Year over year drop of 32%
September 2008: housing starts lowest since 1991
Third quarter drop of 20.5% in housing starts.
It should be self-evident if new housing construction plummets as it did in 2007-2009, all the industries who rely on housing construction would also cut back their production of products. It's the only time trickle down works.
There is no privacy clause in the constitution.
