(I have an older plan that i talked the guy into letting me keep, so i just added data)
Well, yeah, it's cheaper if you happen to have an old contract and a guy you can talk into letting you keep it. My father-in-law still has an original iPhone with $20/mo data plan, but that doesn't do anyone walking in off the street any good. T-mobile's 3G, incidentally, has fine speeds as long as you're in a T-mobile 3G area and using a phone with the right frequencies - which an iPhone lacks.
I have no idea what your personal political views are, so this is not a commentary on them - just something your comment reminds me of. I have always found it incredibly amusing that hard-core socialists and communists have pointed to the US trade ban with Cuba - i.e., insufficiently free trade - as the source of so many of the island's ills..
It is not, in any workplace where the idea"safe for work" exists, safe for work. But he's probably referring to this. Lords of Acid are a group that were noted for blunt sexual lyrics.

This is utterly off-topic, but I would like to thank you for not writing "here, here". Also, props to anyone who can still remember that it's "rein in" not "reign in".
I'm not certain, but I think you might be able to cover the difference in the US by calling someone a "classical liberal". That's the term usually used in the US for the Enlightenment sense of the word.
No, it shows that the US political axis is very, very different from Europe's. Ample land and absence of historic aristocracy can do a lot for a country.
Yes, folks, idiotic blather about how to raise a genius has come to the iPad. Ask people who have grown kids: they are who they are. There is astonishingly little you can do to change them. A rich environment beats a poor one, and you shouldn't starve or beat your children. Aside from that, just enjoy knowing them.
An Arizona driver's license is proof of legal residency in the US (which is what's needed - not proof of citizenship). There's the issue of reciprocity with other states, but I carry my driver's license with me any time I leave the neighborhood even if I'm not the one behind the wheel.
But what does a legal American citizen look like? We aren't all white. And not every illegal is going to be brown.
Well, that's very true. But Arizona isn't New York City. A black man in New York might be an illegal immigrant, but a black man in Arizona almost certainly isn't. As I said before, the problem is that there is a very large illegal Hispanic immigration problem in Arizona. Any solution will necessarily inconvenience legitimate Hispanic residents more than non-Hispanic ones, because they more closely resemble the target population (not just in color - they are more likely to be immigrants, speak with an accent, and have less money). This is unfortunate, but unavoidable if you're going to enforce the immigration law.
While I'm sympathetic to this critique of the Arizona law, what exactly would you have them do? Since the vast majority of the people doing the illegal immigration into Arizona are Hispanic, any method of reducing illegal immigration in Arizona will disproportionately fall on Hispanics. And legal Hispanic immigrants will be the vast majority of the false positives. If you want that not to be the case, your only option is not to enforce the law at all.
You speed, you're break the law, plain and simple.
When you start following speed limits and making complete stops when you're on duty in a patrol car, I'll start to think that you really believe that law is important. Until then, you're just a meter maid in my book, and I'll treat you as such.
I'm not the AC you originally replied to, but since you quote/. summaries as credible ideas, I suppose it's a bit much to ask you to notice that. I haven't a clue about the natural seepage of oil, and frankly can't imagine that the AC was right about that.
Nonetheless, it's nowhere near the size of Florida, a fact that is obvious to the most casual observer of the Google Earth images in question - as of 2 May, it's roughly the size of metro Houston, or Louisiana south and east of New Orleans - and quoting a blogger who uses the "fill" tool in his painting program to highlight in red the outline that he freehanded onto the image based on no apparent criteria doesn't really do much for your credibility. The size of the spill matters. The content of the spill matters (it's already pushing 90 degrees here in the South, so light fractions will evaporate at meaningful rates). These factors will determine whether we use a risky but fast method to try to contain the spill, or a slower but more thoroughly engineered one.
When commenting upon grammar and spelling, do be sure of one's own correctness; when accusing people of not reading TFA, it helps to have read TFA yourself. You read the summary, I read TFA. If you had, you'd have seen that the entire justification for that was the imagination of a blogger who is either an idiot or a link-whore, or both. NASA didn't say anything like that.
He just drew a big line in the ocean and said "see, that's how big it is". Small problem: NASA never said it was that big, it's obviously not that big in the photo he uses, and to top it off his borders for the size of the spill go out beyond the size of the NASA photo.
So thanks for the commentary, but again: on what planet is it the size of Florida?
It's not anywhere near the size of Florida. Some idiot blogger drew contours based on a fevered imagination. His "slick area" extends past the NASA image!
I might worry about Gulf Shores or Destin, but Biloxi and Gulfport? Have you ever BEEN to their beaches? Better: did you ever go before they imported all that white sand from east of Mobile Bay?
And yet, I'm not able to force them to abide by the terms of service that applied when I gave them that information. My Facebook profile info has gone from informative, to trivial, to nonexistent as they have forced more things into the open. It used to be how I kept in touch with people; now it's just a self-updating Rolodex.
What's stupid about that? I happen to disagree with it - I'd rather use up the rest of the world's supplies of fossil fuels before exhausting our own - but it's neither patently stupid nor, as far as I can tell, a tea party slogan. "Drill, baby, drill" is over the top hyperbole, but it's also not a tea party slogan.

I think he's trying to say that you should never put in writing anything you wouldn't want on the front page of the New York Times.

Funny you should say that, as I am a professor. Nice gig if you can get it.
FWIW, that was the original GI Bill. The Montgomery GI bill came much later.

It did that when you - and everyone else - filled up at the station down the road that sold for 5c/gallon less than the one across the street.
In what godforsaken hellhole do they have above-ground gasoline tanks?
He's talking about when you have friend X and persons Y and Z (who are not your friends) comment on their status. You still get a notice.
Your name, maybe. I'm the only person on Earth with my full name, and one of two with my first and last name.
