Its worth saying that we democratically voted to keep the current voting system in a yes/no referendum in 2010. Which makes the use and outcome of that system perfectly acceptable and democratic in nature.
The Armalite Rifle-model 15 regardless of who manufactures it, is not a military grade weapon/weapon of war.
Regardless of your other comments (which are valid), I still disagree with this - the UK used a single-shot semi-automatic L1A1 SLR variant for 40 years, engaging in several major conflicts during that time, including many units engaged in the First Gulf War.
So on that basis, a single-shot semi-automatic AR-15 can most certainly be considered a "military grade weapon/weapon of war".
Hate to break it to you, but most modern military forces use semi-automatic weapons, or train their troops to only fire in semi-automatic modes for 99% of cases. Its more accurate and less wasteful - for higher rates of fire, you have dedicated squads with weapons designed to be more accurate at higher rates.
There is no innate natural right to life - from the moment you are conceived, the world is out to kill you through infections, predation, accident, murder. Its society that grants legal protection to a right to life, its just dressed up in a nice term to make it seem more important than other rights society also grant.
There is no innate natural right to property - without society and laws, the world isn't inclined to give a toss if someone takes away the only food you have that day. We see this all the time in the animal kingdom - predators getting their kills taken away by other predators (hey, what happened to that kills right to life), the universe doesn't intervene. Its society that grants legal protection to property, and again its just dressed up in a nice term.
So no, there are no innate natural rights, the entire concept is fluffy and depends on society actively getting involved.
Sorry, I dont buy that - here in the UK, payroll is done by direct deposit, its a rare situation where you get a cheque or cash. And if you are paid by cheque, then you should be planning for the delays.
Why do they *have* to? In the UK thats the banks discretion - many don't credit the account until the cheque or payment has cleared, so why do US banks have to do it that way?
Federal law, specifically the Posse Comitatus Act, restricts the use of the United States Army and the United States Air Force in enforcing US Federal Government domestic policy in the US - it does not cover the US Navy, nor the US Marine Corp, and it does not apply to the National Guard (Army or Air) when invited to act in a law enforcement capacity by a state governor.
The Insurrection Act can be used to deploy US military capability within US borders against US citizens without violating the Posse Comitatus Act.
The reason they don't do it already is because like in most countries, the population is mostly urban and raising chickens in cities is an unsanitary hell and a huge health hazard. Don't just believe my words, get a dozen of chicks and try raising them in your house and give us your thoughts after a year.
Something tells me you haven't spent much time in these countries...
Sanitation isn't the first thing that pops into most of these peoples minds - eating is. From the evidence I have seen, many city dwellers have no issues hanging bird cages out of 5th story windows to keep chicks in. Cows in stair wells are not uncommon either.
Why does your insurance cost so much (I'm assuming the US)?
Here are my home and car insurance costs:
Home insurance, 3 bed house, 1 year old, rebuild cost of ~ £130,000, contents cover £100,000, unlimited liability, unlimited legal fees - £240 annually.
Car insurance, 12 year old Landrover, 130,000 miles, 20,000 miles annual, business use, unlimited liability, unlimited legal fees (what we call "fully comprehensive" cover - you cant limit your third party liability here in the UK, so coverage is unlimited - if your accident costs £5million to rectify, then thats what the insurance deals with in full) - £306 annually.
And what happens if there is suddenly a major issue the week after the "its ok, theres no support really needed on this account" extension to the licence period is signed? All shit breaks loose, thats what happens.
If you have a perpetual licence, you dont have to stop using it. If you have a limited period licence, you dont have any rights to the software after that period is up.
That is as it should be. If you dont want to be in this situation, dont agree to a time limited licence.
A historical setting isnt a creative work, while a fictional setting is - Star Trek is a fictional setting, and basing anything on the works that created that setting would be a derivative work.
Evasion is illegal whether or not the taxpayer fails a drug test, and as I have said, the impression is that *everyone* seeks to avoid paying any more tax than they have to, so whats the point of your post?
I'm from the UK, and I have to say that each time a US tax-orientated discussion comes up here on Slashdot or elsewhere, especially around US based "filing dates", I get the distinct impression that it doesn't matter how rich you are or how much your tax return is going to be, you *all* scrutinize your returns for as many deductions as you can possibly squeeze out of the system, with many of you suggesting to others to seek professional help to squeeze even more.
But that's just a foreigners impression gained from what US tax payers discuss online...
But you still have to prove conspiracy - who did they conspire with and where is the evidence that they conspired together on this? Mens Rea wasn't even in my mind.
Now who clearly doesn't know what they are talking about?
Prove the conspiracy, and prove the intent - Intel has a huge amount of resources setup around this for enterprise systems management, so you have a massive uphill (almost a vertical cliff one might say) battle to climb in order to prove any malicious intent here.
Just because you dont like it, doesnt mean anything illegal is being done.
So you are happy fucking over an entire generation of authors or actors because of the work of some that came before?
I hope you are going without rather than pirating the content - if you are pirating, then my opinion of you is probably the same as your opinion of Disney.
Your question should be more orientated around "how many cars did our company buy or own" - the answer to which is "none". We managed other companies car fleets, never did any buying, never made recommendations, and the manufacturers knew this.
Sod "european law", Britains Data Protection Act already makes this an issue and would continue to do so even in the event of a Leave vote in two weeks time.

There really aren't.

That really really sucks.
You've been able to do this for ages in Windows 10 for Phones:
1. Settings
2. Devices
3. NFC
4. Tap to pay
It defaults to adding the cost to your phone bill, but you can add additional cards and payment method management apps as well.
I've been buying stuff using a linked card for 6 months now.
This just sounds like MS are adding an easier management system to it all and thats whats been noticed.

Its your interpretation of copyright law which is flawed, not the Judges. This is a fairly slam dunk case of a derivative work.
Britains GCHQ came up with public key encryption years before others, so its not as if the rest of the world cant do encryption theory...

Only if you can prove they are using it without your authorisation. It simply existing is not enough.

We didn't use dealers, we used independent garages - much cheaper.
