Well, that depends on who you ask. NeXT never made any official statement on what the "NS" prefix stands for, and I remember being told that it stood for "NeXT/Sun", "NextStep", and "Neat Stuff" by different people.
The Supreme Court had long ago ruled that stop-and-frisks were constitutionally permissible under certain conditions,
The court fucked up on this, because they didn't limit it those conditions that the fourth amendment permits.
When an organization commits millions of counts of civil rights violations, being told to stop is NOT enough. At the very least, the mayor, the police chief, and the top three or four layers of NYPD management should be behind bars for this. Any patrolman who took part should be dismissed and banned from any position of public trust in the future.
Tricky Dick Nixon was hounded into resignation over illegally wiretapping a handful of phone lines at the DNC headquarters back in 1972. The Bush and Obama administrations are each guilty of billions of counts of the same crime. Why the FUCK isn't anyone getting impeached?
Snowden informed us that the NSA had committed billions of counts of illegal wiretapping against people who are innocent. Obama's complicity in these crimes should land him behind bars.
At the risk of damning myself with faint praise, I have far more knowledge of history than you do, since your view of the period is clouded with propaganda.
Here's the thing you need to understand: war production is not wealth. It is destruction. It is waste.
Hoover turned the crash of '29 into the great depression. Roosevelt made it persist throughout his regime. The depression ended in 1946, when about a million men were released from military service, federal spending was cut by about 2/3, and the productive capacity that had been diverted to war material was given back to civilian uses.
It's not necessarily a bad investment, if it can be arbitraged. If I buy a futures contract for a couple megawatt-hours a year before a heat wave, I could very well make a tidy profit.
The purpose of the AMT is to make "rich" people pay more not less.
No, that's just how it was sold to the public. The purpose of the AMT is loot the middle class. Rich people have far better ways of reducing their tax liabilities than we do.
A sheet big enough to make a difference in Venus' insolation, parked at the LeGrange point, would tend to get pushed away from the sun by the solar wind acting on all that surface area.
So what would Apple get in turn for buying Intel? Cheaper pricing?
More like, by adopting Intel's process technology they could save 20% or more of the power used by all of their mobile devices, not to mention the billions of dollars they contribute to Intel's profit margin currently. If Apple owned Intel, they could even resume manufacturing Flash RAM in-house.
This raises the question of how it compares in price to other 41MP cameras that don't have a phone included with them. Maybe Nokia can re-invent themselves as a camera company.
We didn't have a Jerry Falwell contingent in my school. The religious kids tended to be mainstream Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans, etc. There wasn't much cocaine use, but there was a group of druggies who mostly smoked pot, and would also use cocaine or LSD when available.

More to the point, it's not a crime to be a potential criminal.

Not to mention, that any statute that purports to ban firearms is unconstitutional, and is therefore not a law at all.

That's the best synopsis to date of every fucking Obama speech I've ever heard. Well done.

-jcr
Of course he doesn't think so. Obama's idea of a patriot is someone who offers abject submission to the government.
Snowden is a hero, Obama is a flaming hypocrite.

One more thing. You should watch and learn Tom Woods destroying the rather insidious propaganda line that war brings prosperity.

>his presidency saw unemploment decline steadily-
Heh... Yeah, and there's no unemployment in North Korea, either.
Roosevelt's insane anti-business policies prevented recovery from the great depression until after he was dead.

Yes he is, and he was surrounded by hundreds of people who know he's a criminal, and somehow nobody stood up and arrested him.
