Sure, and niggers aren't human (Dred Scott) but corporations are (Citizens United).
I believe you are a moron for your choice of language here, but apart from being a moron, you are also an idiot for blaming the Citizen's United decisions, rather than the Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company decision, which held that the 14th amendment applied equally to corporations.
Tell California "Hi", and thank them for getting corporations declared people.
People in the US often use the Bill of Rights as their guideline between the right and wrong uses of the government, without realizing where, in our legal system, the protections they intuit should exist actually come from.
I believe the answer is "the tenth amendment"... "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Of course, this is a strong states rights stance, rather than a Federalist stance, so it will sit well with neither the Democrats nor the Republicans, each of which want a strong central government, for their own reasons.
Nevertheless, it states exactly what Jefferson wanted it to state (given he was strongly anti-Federalist).
As someone actually in the "obscure" field of accelerator physics, you are just full of it. There is nothing close to "trivial" methods to reach the energies that a lot of new physics theories are suggesting is needed.
Well, not that I believe an AC that has no academic standing, you are at least not as condescending and childish as serviscope_minor, so I will give you a hint:
"I don't believe you know X! Prove it by disclosing X to me! You will do this because you are as stupid as I am assuming you to be!"
Is this how you got your first information that VAX/VMS error logs were world-readable, and thus disclosed failed login credentials and password typos that made it easy to log in as someone else? You tricked someone into telling you about the log file by appealing to their hubris?
Care to enlighten us? Or are you just going to sit around pointing at how TFA is wrong on a obscure subject without actually informing anyone of anyhthing.
If the subject is obscure to you, you would not understand the explanation.
Why don't you wait to find out with everyone else after we run the experiments at SLAC?
Actually, there are a couple of rather trivial methods by which such energies can be achieved, and you don't even need something as large as an LHC for any of them.
It started in 1980 under Jimmy Carter, when MFN status was restored to China, after its suspension in 1951 under Harry Truman. It became permanent in 2000 when it was signed into law by Bill Clinton.
At that point, it was only a matter of time between then and all blue collar manufacturing jobs being exported to China, since they are not burdened with the same labor and environmental standards that are imposed in the U.S., and there is no way to impose those standards on China by way of conditional tariffs, due to our agreements within the WTO as to the meaning of MFN status.

John Schnatter is a class-A business criminal and needs to be taken to task by the courts.
Have you ever considered stopping bitching long enough to file a lawsuit, assuming you have standing to do so, having been personally wronged by the company, as opposed to, you know, being an unsuccessful union organizer expressing sour grapes?
The summary is BS. This is *one driver*. Not "Uber drivers".
The decision is also BS. for other reasons, but there's a $12.50 per driver way to work around the ruling, and I expect Uber will vail itself of that option.
Most high tech people limit their kids use of technology, if they know what's good for their kids:
“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves. “They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”
"Since then, I’ve met a number of technology chief executives and venture capitalists who say similar things: they strictly limit their children’s screen time, often banning all gadgets on school nights, and allocating ascetic time limits on weekends."
For the not the right class argument: Yes, English need not be taught using computers but who are we to tell him that he should ignore the limitless free ed content out there...
It think that kind of comes with giving him the job title "teacher", rather than the job title "media facilitator".
These kids will need to learn basic computing skills sometime especially if they are ever to escape poverty.
So have them *also* take a computer class. They should learn English in their English class.
But, I'm glad we all support the right of Microsoft et al. to fight US government oppression. We support it here on slashdot with comments, and we support it with the extra taxes that we gladly and patriotically pay to offset the missing tax revenue from our esteemed corporations. Money well spent.
I'd be happy to change over that offset to "funds not spent invading countries like Iraq and Afghanistan", if you really want that tax money to be in the U.S. instead of foreign countries...
"I assign papers that must be typed, I have papers turned in online, and I plan to freely refer to texts, videos, and other resources that are available online."
Don't do this. Don't force them to type, don't force them to turn in online, don't refer to text, videos, or other online resources, unless you also offer library resources that allow them to reference the materials without buying a computer and paying for internet connectivity.
"This gives an extra disadvantage to students that may be from the poorer end of the strata, and also means extra inefficiency for me, as I have to make allowances for students who don't have a computer available at home."
Yes. So cut it out. You are unnecessarily disadvantaging them for your own convenience.
P.S.: If someone is using a computer with a spelling and grammar correction capability, how will you catch students with learning disabilities so that they can get help sooner rather than later? How are you going to detect copy and paste plagiarism, if it's possible to copy and paste?

Hydrogen is a terrible fuel. It has no good uses.
What about solar power? Most stars, including ours, tend to burn hydrogen.
Is it a great fuel for stars?
"I don't believe you know X! Prove it by disclosing X to me! You will do this because you are as stupid as I am assuming you to be!"
Well, you're claiming to be smarter than the people that built CERN. I think it's a fair assumption that you are in fact not.
First of all, I never made that claim.
Second of all, I don't really consider your opinion any more relevant than that of Charles Holland Duell.
Wasn't "Sweatshop HD" pulled in 2013... because the developer of it, "Littlecloud", went under in 2013?
In other words, this had more to do with no place to send the checks, than it had to do with Apple being "mean"?

Seems similar to the Wen Ho Lee case.
They really do *not* like physicists at the FBI, do they?
"we still couldn’t reach those energies"

I am pretty sure this technology is already in use in Comcast and AT&T U-verse routers.
Quit spending money on space!
There are plenty of place on Earth we should be nuking first.
I wouldn't get in a Gypsy cab. You wouldn't get out with your possessions.
It's a colloquialism meaning an unlicensed taxi driver. It has nothing to do with Irish Travelers or Romany people.

If the "contractors" were actually contractors, then it would be them and not Uber serving street hails.
Gypsy cabs are illegal. Answering street hails would make them a gypsy cab. As long as they are a contractor, they are shielded.
"We just dug up some bones in the family plot..."
"Was it uncle Frank?"
"No, uncle Frank is buried in the North end..."
"Was it uncle Sal?"
"No, uncle Sal is in the South end. There wasn't supposed to be anyone buried in the west end..."
"Are you sure it wasn't aunt Daisy's chimp?"
"No, no, it's definitely a human..."
"So you're saying... It's A Previously Unknown Human Relative?!?"
Not making them type their papers will put them at a disadvantage in later education.
So give them an IBM Selectric, if the goal is to teach touch typing.

Exactly this. Rethink your curriculum.
"I assign papers that must be typed, I have papers turned in online, and I plan to freely refer to texts, videos, and other resources that are available online."
Don't do this. Don't force them to type, don't force them to turn in online, don't refer to text, videos, or other online resources, unless you also offer library resources that allow them to reference the materials without buying a computer and paying for internet connectivity.
"This gives an extra disadvantage to students that may be from the poorer end of the strata, and also means extra inefficiency for me, as I have to make allowances for students who don't have a computer available at home."
