Would be interesting to see what is faster, a nuclear-tipped GPS-guided cruise missile or a Congressional impeachment procedure. Depends on the destination. If it's a nation covered by a lobbyist group/political action group, it'll get quite interesting.
I'd rather put my money on measures like SDI to win that race. By the time the bickering is finished, your weapon already has a head start against Congress.
And if the missile wins and the courts start to ask questions, the Pres can pardon everybody involved. If the missile wins, hope nobody gets any ideas on how to invalidate pardons.
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini. This quote is almost becoming quaint... I believe you mean current - except the latter is dropping the former.
The problem is that the last places they'd cut (O'Reilly&Tagalog Service,Hannity&Colmes) would be the the first places some would start looking for cuts.
They tried this in New York - it was an utter failure, and they eventually gave up. In New York's case, the ticket brokers just had offices in New Jersey and Connecticut, and send a courier into New York City once a day to deliver the tickets.
Particularly now that there are emailable tickets, there's nothing stopping someone from doing the same thing from overseas to circumvent a national ban. Bind to a credit card(or other form with heavy penalties for falsification) and limit any attempts to transfer. Watch as scalpers get busted for fraud. Rinse and repeat until scalpers are removed.
We live in a capitalist world. If you have the money, why can't you buy as many tickets as you want? If you want to sell tickets, why shouldn't you be able to sell them for as much as the market will bear? That in itself does not justify the existence of scalping. The only thing that needs to be done is to enact the legislation on a federal level.
What's wrong with scalpers? Anti scalping regulation only raises the price a small, guaranteed amount - scalpers raise it to absurdity.
If funding and spots are the troubling parts of higher education, why do we continue to penalize our own citizens in obtaining it?
Before we allow these people in, we need to first build our own by getting every single citizen that wishes to have such an education to be able to work towards attaining it. That means removing the ability to refuse citizens by any means that possess any desire to further their education; even if it means it takes a generation or two to restore what has been lost by selectivity and expense.
Nationality does matter when we end up paying for it in some form. Holding citizens back with funding games (MIT for example) and prestige building (the usual New England suspects) is what is holding the US back. When the complaints are in the other direction, then we can start seeing if there is any surplus - if there is some, then we can start importing as long as the surplus exists.
There are some things that have value beyond exorbitant cost, and education is one of them. Remove the obstacle for citizens, remove the problem.
Yes - now if you want to play a noble paladin you will need to prove you've taken the right vows and can supply your own armour. Of which faith?
And absolutely no playing spell casting characters until you can supply video evidence of at least some sort of magic missile or lightning bolt spell. Sounds like military/ex-military players could easily do both. Hopefully not on the admins.
I can see the next big game now: "World Of Everyday-Drudgery-Craft". Where everyone hands over a monthly subscription to do whatever they do in real life... And then someone gets a group to whittle out dice and bring out paper for a game of D&D.
As far as people who don't want government involvement - there are a host of laws limiting what we can do. The Taft-Hartley law allows the government to call off any strike. Then by all means repeal it. This isn't "make it toothless", but to outright remove its existence.
Even if you want to do away with all such laws, from our perspective it makes sense to keep these laws until the ones hurting us are done away with first, as in the meantime these just balance things on our side against the laws against us. Enough damage has been caused up to, including, and past "PATCO" Reagan with this law. It is one the laws that does "hurt us".
I'm pretty sure that MIT doesn't give sports scholarships. With enough money there is a way.
Remove the (domestic)exclusion, remove the problem

MIT's SAT Math Error

Admission is merit-based. That is a problem that can be solved, and not by increasing (domestic) exclusion in admissions. Merit can always be circumvented by politics and money, see about any selective university of the Northeast to the Southwest.
Scholarships exist to ensure that those who are admitted will not be prevented from attending because of financial need. Thus, the requirements to receive a scholarship from MIT are academic merit and financial need. That's merit-based in my book. Remove the issue of high-debt funding, remove the money problem.
Otherwise, the only viable way to keep selectivity in(and keep things civil) is to literally make it forbidden to state more than just a standardized(should a university try to come up with a university specific major) degree status of a person in the workplace.
The real problem is you care too much about what other people think. I know you're not the only one, but hey I picked your comment for reply so feel blessed.
Personally I think Apple zealots are full of shit. Oh I should know, I like Apple too, but I'm not a zealot.

All those people who hope that China will kick the US's ass (as least economically) in the near future, are misguided. China is completely locked into a symbiotic relationship with the US now. Anything bad happens to the US and bad things happen to China. Major economic downturn in US = less trade with China = less money for China. Collapse of US government debt = massive loss of money for China. One more reason to keep them out of the reach of economic and nuclear parity, and another to have a measure to contain them should they become a threat. For now, we have the means, and the know-how - and that is what the US needs to maintain. If that means the only thing that rises is mushroom clouds, so be it.
Yes, they are quite misguided.
Face it, the economies are interlocked, and they will stay that way. Eventually capitalism in China will lead to the slow erosion of the Communist government over there, and then we'll really need to watch out because China will really be moving forward then. But they can't do it without the US just as much as the US can't move forward without China. Not if a China-hostile US Government gets its way.
The societal mix shown on Firefly will turn out to be the correct interpretation of what will happen. Thankfully that will remain fiction and not prediction, thanks to the fine products of our nation's government contractors and the citizens that benefit from their use.
Just dont go too far and wear this shirt in the airport. They may not get the best of ideas on what side you support, even if you were to carry those books.
t is being looked at only by the "North American military and its allies" and is not being sold to countries with questionable human rights records. I doubt it'll have any problem going to China. But then, that place doesnt care for non-lethal, they go for the most efficient application of lethal

Why not just seize SCO's assets, and then go for any personal assets held by top management to pay the rest of the bill?
Then he moves into a pair of teleportation rings and unwittingly destroys the world by making that random move.

Seems that they dont like external referrers there, a link copy should do.
just be sure not to take cooking advice from extra.hot.it.su.
the link was supposed to be on this word in parent: shirt
Just dont go too far and wear this shirt in the airport. They may not get the best of ideas on what side you support, even if you were to carry those books.
Or just search for it
Except for the pain it dishes out, it's balanced out by pleasure.
