Ultimately, as a resident of WA, I'm in favor of this, the capital being located where it is, makes it incredibly inconvenient for me to observe what goes on there or meet with my members of congress.

Reagan had Grenada, Bush had Iraq, the next Bush had Afghanistan AND Iraq.
OTOH, no Democrat President since Truman has started a war.
Oh good grief.
1. Bush the Elder didn't start Gulf War I, Saddam did
2. If you're going to list Grenada under Reagan, you can't neglect these little dustups:
Mogadishu 1993 (Clinton)
Bosnia 1995 (Clinton)
Yugoslavia 1999 (Clinton)
Libya 2011 (Obama)
Give the software for free and charge for support. It's a proven model that allows plenty of folks to make a living.
Not everything needs 'paid' support. A $5 application for graphic designers should be easy enough to use without having to pay to ask questions. A full server OS with a large support team, yes. A small graphic app? No.
The lack of concrete action against NK might be a lesson for Iran.
If you don't want to be fucked with, actually having nukes is the best bet.
If he actually had some. Show us one example of the NKs launching a surface to surface missile that hit anything but 'ocean'. And having a reliable warhead that would actually fit on one of those missiles And having more than one of those.
On 9/11, two National Guard jets were ordered to bring down United 93, which had been hijacked
Semantics, but 'intercept' does not necessarily mean bring it down. It can also mean, 'just find it'. In any case, they could not have shot it down, as they did not have the necessary weapons on board, and couldn't wait for them to be loaded. They did, however, make the joint decision to ram it if necessary.
Being the state tied for second as having the greatest percentage of illegal immigrants (and second in raw numbers) might have some bearing on those statistics. PewResearch

Jebus, dude, it's simple. Here ya go (budget 6 weeks for this):
1. Buy/rent skis and a good road bike.
2. Obtain plane/train/bus tickets to Zermatt in early June.
3. Ski the glacier for a week.
4. Ship the skis home (you don't want to haul them around for the next month)
5. Bike down the Alps to the coast, meeting the water at or around Nice
6. Continue your bike trip from Nice, down the coast, until you hit Barcelona
7. Turn inland, through Zaragoza, Guadalajara, until you get to Madrid
8. In Madrid, find a little bar. It's kinda near the Plaza del Sol. Tell Nico that Pete (the weird American that used to go out with Asphen) sent you. He'll hook you up.
9. Party a couple more days.
10. Sell the bike and fly home
11. Continue with the rest of your life.
12. Profit!
Oh...you don't like doing that? Well then...find something else. (but don't blame me when you have a crappier time)
Whatever platform she ends up on, create a start page for Firefox or whatever. Mimic some of the same links within the AOL start screen and to wherever else she generally goes to.
In many cases, they omit or falsify the year which is often the most valuable portion of the birthdate.
Which can be gleaned quite closely by looking at their HS graduation year. Or if they've not provided that, look at their friends. Find a big cluster in one particular year, bingo, that's probably it.
2. What do pilots base that on? and why would they be qualified to make such a determination? As far as I can tell the FAA disagrees considering the rules favoring many engined planes for commercial use.

You can probably limp home on one. You can't limp home on none

I get that. And this is one of the most geeked out sites going. But holy crap. An article about "buying" bitcoins, via some arcane series of steps? Why would yo do that?
"I just bought bitcoins from the World's first Bitcoin ATM at Liberty Forum. I created an account using an Android Bitcoin client and held up its QR code to the Raspberry Pi-based device's optical scanner. After I fed in a $20 Federal Reserve Note, I got back a confirmation QR code on its display, which I then scanned and checked the third-party confirmation URL. The machine can function on any wireless network and will soon be available for purchase by merchants, who can make a commission on customers' Bitcoin purchases."
Most of those words mean nothing to the vast majority of the worlds population.
If you can work from home, you can't need much of a security clearance.
DoD does allow most civilian workers to work from home sometimes, even those with a clearance. Can't directly access the airgapped network (or above), but not everything you do needs direct access to uber secret data. Telework.gov
Did you miss the first line of the post you're replying to? "I have money and I'm willing to use it."
And the entire rest of it was about seedboxes, VPNs, no advertising, torrents, Usenet. Setting up all of that costs time and money. But nothing in there about actually paying the content creators.
I only want to have to deal with one thing though. I don't want a hulu, and a netflix, and an iTunes, an amazon, etc. I just want something that I can plug into my TV and just type in what I want and then watch/listen to it.
Yeah, I get it. The content owners need to wheel and deal and figure out licensing and who can distribute what, etc. and whathave you. Well, guess what? I don't give a fuck. That's not my problem! And I'll be DAMNED if I have to watch advertising.
Guess what? Your boss wants the same thing. Push a button, and quality stuff flies out of your mouth for free. Do you think they like paying you thousands of dollars a year? Hell no. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. I fully agree that the current system needs major tweaking, and the current rulers of the content you seek are asshats. But 100% free to your eyeballs isn't the answer, either.
But fundamentally, yes, the British are at least as violent as Americans, maybe more so. But because we don't have civilians owning handguns, the murder rate is a quarter.
How can you possibly describe a quarter of them being victims of homicide as "more helpless to protect themselves". These are the kind of illogical knots the US gun lobby tie themselves up in.
I get that. But when a criminal knows that his potential victim is unarmed, he is apparently more likely to follow through on his attack. Now lets add in the criminal on criminal crime. I wonder how the homicide rate would vary if we eliminated counting gangbangers shooting each other?
I fully recognize that there are problems in the US with gun crime and homicides. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that all is well elsewhere, because of stricter gun laws.

A co-worker of mine has one. It's powered (mainly) by the nuclear plant up the road.

If he had one, that might be a valid question.

Drones can only carry 2 missiles at a time,
That was true of the MQ-1 Predator. The MQ-9 Reaper can carry much more.
The Nouse, from years ago. $150.
I believe there was another version that used eyeblinks for mouse clicks.
