They have the right to think racist/homophobic thoughts. They have the right to say racist/homophobic things. What they do not have the right to do is damage someone else's live and liberty based on that though.
Yes, its absolutely okay for a state to tell someone that they may not refuse business based on inconsequential reasons that cause the lives of others to get worse.
That's an obvious liberty balance. One side has liberties infringed (their liberty to live their life how they feel), while the other has no consequential liberty infringed at all.
On the contrary, pumping extra energy in in a way that allows the energy to escape again is orders of magnitude better than pumping out gasses that prevent the energy from escaping.
Because the finance of the internet is based on a sender pays model. Peering agreements only work when you actually have (roughly) equal traffic with another ISP. In this case, the ISP serving netflix has significantly higher data sent from it than Comcast's network, so they need to start paying comcast to transport that data.
This by the way, is at the same time, why bandwidth caps and metering on a home connection is bullshit –because what you're paying is paying only for the data you send, the data you receive is already payed for by the sender.
Every source I've been able to find estimates a 2-3x increase in Lion capacity in the last 25 years.
Oddly, 12 hours is about 3 times longer than 4 hours;)
You'll find that new laptops (and cell phones) will still run their batteries down very fast when actually under load, but when doing normal desktop tasks all of the advanced power saving features on the silicon are vastly cutting down laptop power consumption. Lion capacity has very little to do with it.
Nope, my laptop lasts about 6 hours even under very heavy load, I would have been lucky to get 1 hour, let alone 2 hours out of a laptop a decade ago.
Mostly due to batteries. If you compare the power usage of laptops then, and now, you'll find that older laptops tended to use in the 10-20W range for their motherboard and CPU. Modern ultra books use a similar power level, while modern laptops use around 30-50W, and still get longer battery life.
I find the perception that battery tech is not improving rather bizarre. You realise we have laptops that last 12-24 hours today, when only a decade ago the very best laptops lasted only 4 hours, right?
Right, I have no problem with expecting an electric car to be able to drive for an entire day without charging. But then expecting it to be able to charge in 10 minutes is ridiculous. For me, as soon as it can make it for 12 hours without a charge, it's good, as I can go to bed, and charge it for 4-8 hours without any issue at that point.
The problem with this assertion is that you've used the fuel efficiency of a typical european mid sized car (around the size of a jetta or something like that), but the fuel tank size of a very large car/SUV. I don't know of a single small-mid sized 4 door car with a 60 litre fuel tank. Most are closer to 30 litre.
That, and the battery's cost is pretty much the limiting factor in how much power can be packed in. He could pack twice as many batteries in, but then it would cost an extra $20,000.
Right, I have in the past had to sit at a green traffic light for a while because I couldn't see, simply because the car in front of me's LED brake lights were embedded in the centre of my vision.
And consumers are responsible for any erroneous payments if the vendors *have* opted in. It's far easier to shoulder surf and pick pocket than to forge a signature.
Bullshit. Shoulder surfing requires effort. Forging a signature that's passable enough to buy goods requires none – you scribble something, anything, and it will be accepted.

Who are you to define what is inconsequential to someone else?
If you can prove in court that they wronged you, then feel free to discriminate against them.
Of course. The question is: where is the line?
Simple. The line is "if you can come up with a legitimate reason that that person wrongs you, then you can discriminate against them."

No, it's not okay to refuse them service. Unless their actions have a direct negative impact on your business.

How would you propose that we distribute resources to people in a way that's fair, and gets the resources to the most in need and most capable?
But that's a one time cost, while maintaining makefiles is a many time, extremely high cost.
Also, why would he assume that makefiles, auto tools or cmake are the one true standard way of building a bunch of source?
On the contrary, pumping extra energy in in a way that allows the energy to escape again is orders of magnitude better than pumping out gasses that prevent the energy from escaping.
Not when the loss from beaming the energy back will be in that region, no.

Odd that Ford's web page on it's specs claims it's got a 45 litre tank.
Sorry for the second reply, but...
Also, as a european, no, a Jetta is not considered a larger car. A Passat is, a golf is considered a small car, a jetta is considered a mid sized car.
As a Jetta owner, I can assure you, it's manual is where I got the 30 litre figure from.

Why do people insist that batteries have to be at least 2-3 times as good as hydrocarbons before they can be useful?
Thankfully, still not as big as the fuel fire you get when one of those goes up.
Note the word "and" in the sentence "chip+PIN and Paywave".
These are two entirely different things. This bank chose to put both on a card. Chip+PIN does not provide an RFID functionality. Paywave does.
