I'd give it a 7/10. Not as good as some of the Avengers-based hero movies, and in many ways felt like just part of a set-up for the next Avengers movie. It will be interesting some day to watch them all in order to see how well the pieces fit. My wife was a bit underwhelmed though, said it just seemed more of the same.
2) This started with her ramming her car into the White House gate. Then there was the car chase down in the general direction of the Capitol Building.
3) Shots were fired. Doesn't say whether she shot first or the police did. Given the ramming the gate of the White House and the car chase, could have gone either way.
4) She was shot, one police officer was "injured". Not sure whether that means he was shot or not.
I'm sure that it was disheartening to the media that it wasn't a right-wing white male militia type they've been waiting for.
It would be nice if the first time an acronym is mentioned in an article, it was identified. For those who were as confused as I was, I googled it: Amazon Web Services.
....I can't swat the damn things. They have an unfair advantage!
Pro-tip: If you want to kill a fly, use two hands, one on each side. Then clap your hands together. They are faster than one of your hands, but not both.
From what I understand, other vendors are doing it as well, and it was due to a decision by AMC. Besides, if they charge $2.99 per HD episode, and the season pass was $22.99, wouldn't it seem peculiar to give such a big price break for 16 episodes? Not trying to excuse Apple, just trying to introduce a little reason into the debate. I think the fault ultimately lies with AMC and the way they decided to break up the season into two parts.
I only scanned TFA, and didn't see it. My guess is it's probably because people who drink 4+ cups of coffee also have other habits that are bad for their health. I typically drink 3 cups a day, but it wasn't unusual for me to drink a whole pot a day when I was younger. I also ate lots of junk food, was overweight and didn't exercise on a regular basis, and would get maybe 4 hours of sleep a night. I'm still overweight, but I've greatly reduced my junk food consumption & exercise on a regular basis now and get 6-7 hours of sleep a night, so I need less caffeine to make it through the day.
Bad batteries something Apple is famous for, RAM fixed to the logic board, insecure and buggy OS, and a host of other complaints makes me wonder why anyone pays the premium for Apple any longer.
Maybe because that hasn't been most peoples' experience? I have a MacBook Pro that is almost 3 years old and the battery is still almost as good as the day I bought it. Of course, I make sure to run mine down once a month as recommended.
No. But it certainly makes you wonder what sort of analysis is currently being run by our government. As processing speeds increase (a thousand fold in the next 10-15 years) such analysis could be run by many organizations.
But unlike the US government, Al Qaeda probably doesn't have access to people's profiles if they've jacked up the privacy settings. Besides, there's a million+ ways to create havoc in the US without accessing that data.
I won't vote Libertarian because they're only for giving the corporations and the rich assholes who run them the liberty to trample my rights, put me in an unsafe work environment, and make the air as filthy as it was before the EPA (as well as dismantling our already almost nonexistent safety nets).
I'm sure that with all the resources it would require to build these orbiting platforms, a much more cost effective result could be obtained by building bio-domes or other contained environments here on Earth.
I take away a different lesson from this: maybe it's a good idea to wait until you have more facts before starting to run around screaming "The sky is falling!!!!111".
Nah, the cool new thing for security theater lemmings is "If you see something, say something."
I'm not aware of anything bad in iOS 7. Why would you not upgrade?
Can't speak for others, but my iPhone 4's performance became quite sluggish after I upgraded to 6. I don't plan to get a new phone any time soon, so I'll probably stick with 6 for the time being.
You mispronounced "the current level of wages". Individual wages are set by the market, and the market has found that since most families have two wage-earners, companies can pay each wage-earner less. It sucks, but blaming the government or federal reserve for this is... confusing.
So what you're saying is that if you continue to make the same amount of money, but that money is worth less each year because of inflation, and your taxes continue to rise because governments on all levels continue to spend and borrow more, that's confusing?
When did ~$24k gross a year become middle class? Did I miss a memo or have I been living in fantasy land? (11.50 per hour * 40 hours per week * 52 weeks)
They're expecting both parents of a 4-person family to have jobs at this level, giving them ~$48k. The current system of taxation and the Federal Reserve's continual inflation of the monetary system practically require it.

Holes are known for their efficiency at losing heat. If frostbite is a concern do not poke holes in your insulation!
Here you go, Nancy.
Which one?
Your choice.

Isn't it too late? Who plays this anymore?
I'd say given that they just released the game for PS3 & XBox 360 on September 3rd, there's bound to be some people playing it.

Gonna need proof there was life on Mars or that whatever life we have here somehow came from Mars.
I'm not saying it was aliens, but...
Every time I saw tuition go up when I was in school it followed cuts in public education funding.
Did you ever link it to the availability of easy student loans?
Bills are written by the legislature, the President signs them. He can push an agenda, but he's not the one writing the actual bill.
Nothing's stopping him from writing a bill and giving it to a Rep. or Senator to introduce.
Your argument is invalid.

WRONG!
Either he did or he didn't, there's no in-between. In actuality he lied, and did it intentionally.

By "it", I was referring to the gun's projectiles, wise guy. :-D
It is only slightly slower than an olympic sprinter running at full tilt.
I still wouldn't want to get shot with it.

Maybe overload is the only way to combat this sort of thing. Encourage all of your friends to search for pressure cookers and backpacks today.
