"Sorry, I did not know that "politician" was a grievous insult."
Well, it's not the first word I think of when I want to say something nice about someone, but, to me, you seemed especially quick to doubt his motives.
"It is Obvious to me that if I hear something, the law should protect my right to tell someone else what I heard."
The existence of that right depends upon the circumstances of your having heard what you heard.
In the case of radio communications (not broadcast type, but things like ship to shore, cell phones, et cetera), there are several circumstances where you may hear things, but communications law forbids you to reveal what you heard to others.
Then, of course, there are doctor-patient, lawyer-client, sanctity of the confessional, and other privileged communications, including your IRS returns and your census form.
Until you compare them to the audio recording. Sometimes they aren't even in the same key.
Sheet music is usually the original version by the original composer and lyricist (assuming that the composer could write music notation correctly and bothered to).
Somewhere around here I've got an old copy of the sheet music for "House of the Rising Sun". It's a copy of whatever the publishing house and rights owners actually have a copyright on. It bears very little resemblence to the record released by The Animals back in '64.

"Apparently Jack Kilby, the inventor of the Integrated Circuit, upon which ALL computers rely, was left out. Pity."
Didn't Kilby and Noyce sort of both invent the IC at the same time? Except Kilby was at TI, and not in Silicon Valley, which seems to be the unifying theme of this project.
The Silicon Valley connection is the only reason I can see for the inclusion of Lee de Forest.
To polish out scratches (rather than 'fill them in'), I've found that Wright's Silver Creme, a silverware polish, works well. Use the enclosed sponge to apply.
Just remember, as with any treatment, rub straight out from the center, at a right angle to the tracks, and never around the disc in a circular motion.
"Their" refers to the PDAs mentioned in the quoted sentence from the parent post. It is not the subject of the sentence, "batteries" is. It is the batteries (it is claimed ) which are "killing the earth quite as fast as cars are".
"I'm pretty sure that most people would tow the line..."
That's "toe the line", as in "toe the mark", as in stand exactly where you are supposed to stand, which is why it has come to be used to say "do what you are supposed to do and don't do that which you aren't".
If you look at the illustration on the Joystick101 page, he apparently came up with something that doesn't really qualify as a joystick, as it uses one lever for (presumably) the 'x' axis and a second lever for the 'y' axis.
It requires two hands for what you can do with one on a joystick.
(cue the obligatory masturbation jokes)
(and of course the one about not knowing that it was obligatory)
"But then again you tree hugging hippies hold protests at Military Funerals."
Can you provide a link to documentation of that? Because the only "protests" at military funerals that I've heard about are those "non-liberal" religous nut jobs who think that's a proper venue for whining about homosexuality.
"Right now, there are less qualified candidates than there are police jobs available."
Since a fraction of a candidate would be really messy and stinky and unlikely to be able to perform the job, I feel safe in assuming that candidates are discrete countable units. Therefore, you should have said "fewer qualified candidates". This would also avoid the confusion between candidates which are qualified but insufficient in number and candidates whose qualifications are less than the level desired. For instance less qualified candidates could be those without any education beyond high school, or in poorer physical condition than would be preferred.
"If the police have images of abuse, they can crop out everything but the kid's face and stick it on a milk carton..."
I'm pretty sure that the parts of the picture that make it pornographic (view of the child's genitals or view of child in contact with adult genitals, for example) will make it unsuitable for public view.
There was a case a while back where the entire child was grayed out of the picture, leaving the furniture, bedspread, etc. visible, which allowed wide dissemination of the picture and subsequent identification of the room as being in a particular motel, which led to a review of the motel's guest register and, if I recall correctly, an eventual arrest and recovery of the child.
As for de-criminalizing the dissemination (perhaps an unfortunate word choice under the circumstances) of the images, that would still be a violation of the child's privacy rights.
"China is on the edge of exploding into civil war and... when it comes the people doing the rebelling will probably be fighting to establish communism..."
Which means that we will be subjected to a bunch of crooked idiots expecting us to help out on the side of the fascist old farts that have been tyrannizing them all these years.
"i'd have to agree with that. allowing audio that is above or below human hearing has a purpose, as you can feel extremely deep tones, but colour is only visual, so there is no other sense to fall back on."
Well, the infrared will make you feel nice and toasty, and the ultraviolet will let you work on your tan without going outdoors.:-)

Before you sing the praises of de Forest too loudly, see if you can find a copy of "Man of High Fidelity:Edwin Howard Armstrong" by Lawrence Lessing.
