If you cut spending, you have to cut social programs. If you think you can keep your social programs yet also cut spending, you are looking for a solution that does not exist.
People need to take personal responsibility for themselves, and that is all there is to it. 49% of all households in the US are dependent upon one government social program or another. It's no wonder we have reached the perpetual welfare state.
The Republicans can pander to the religious folks all they want. The 1st Amendment is not going anywhere, and thus the separation clause is not going anywhere. The GOP also does not believe that women are second class citizens. You are simply drinking the kool-aid on that one.
The problem is that not enough voters are smart enough to understand that there are protections against what they fear in the GOP, and they are easily influenced by a silver-tongued snake-oil salesman.
If you thought the SCOTUS was going to be a reasonable check against the power of the other branches, just wait 4 years, when Obama will have appointed fully 5 of the 9 justices.
With the GOP losing more ground in the Senate, it will be harder to moderate those appointments as well.
There's also the issue that he no longer needs to run for re-election, and can now get a move on to being "flexible."
Why is the color of the President's skin so important to you? Why would you actually be moved to tears just from the amount of melanin in the President-elect's skin?
The belief that the color of a person's skin has anything to do with their quality as a person... let's see there's a name for that... what was it? I can't remember...
It's hard to take advice about how to be a quality person from a racist.
I watched the video. It appears to be the same machine and software we are using here in SC, and the machine I was using did not alter any of my selections.
That sounds like a legitimate gripe, but not a defect in materials or workmanship, which is what product warranties cover.
If it was sold as a "Bluray Player," then I would not expect it to also play DVDs. Of course, it all depends on carefully parsing what claims are made about the product by the manufacturer, and I imagine that the reason their stance was so firm is that they performed that analysis and determined that they never in fact claimed the device would play DVDs.
I have had zero issues returning things to Samsung or Asus. I had several Samsung flip phones over the years (A707, A717, A737, etc) and a couple of times I had one get flakey on me. AT&T referred me to Samsung and they replaced them outright no questions asked.
Similarly, when I bought my Asus Nexus 7, the magnetic compass went goofy on me and just started spinning in circles. Not only did they not give me any lip about exchanging it, but they overnighted my replacement to me for free, along with a pre-paid shipping label to return the broken one.
The fact that Apple will pay $200 to avoid upsetting a customer is not "good hardware support," it's "cutthroat business tactics." They're not doing it to make you happy. They're doing it to keep you from being happy by switching to the better of the two platforms.
I doubt that. Pulling this attack off in an UNcontrolled environment will be damn near next to impossible, no matter how good these people think they are.
Modern clouds shuffle VM execution in realtime from hardware to hardware to hardware on a continuous basis, depending on where resources are available, and where they are in demand, at any given time.
In any case, a user's inability to use a system properly is not cause for AMD or Intel to run off and start changing their architecture. This "problem" is one that is incumbent upon the customers of the cloud service to fix, by not being stupid and putting national security stuff in the public cloud where it can be stolen.
Pot farms usually bypass their meter so their high usage doesn't show up. Utilities already report irregular usage to Law Enforcement based on their normal readings. There's no need for LE to go war driving. The utilities furnish that information already.
The problem you will run into with this approach is that OBD-II only defines a minimum standard of telemetry data that is available at the port.
Manufacturers are free to add to that minimal dataset in any way they wish, using any type of encoding or obscurity to hide their meaning.
The minimal set of OBD-II diagnostic codes is pretty useless for determining what ails your vehicle. You might get an evap leak error, but that only tells you there is a leak in your evap system. The manufacturer extended codes will tell you that the leak is in the hose between the reverse sinusoildal dingle-arm and the upper reciprocating tremmy pipe about three inches from the up end of the cardinal gram meter and that you need to replace part number ZXV-330F.
OBD-II really is a completely deficient diagnostic standard for modern vehicles.

This is New York, the liberal nanny state, where every aspect of your private life is regulated, right down to how much soda you are allowed to drink.
Don't forget that you would weigh almost twice as much when you got there...
Intelligent Magnetic Monopoles.
No more than the hundreds of ghetto bunnies that posted death threats against Romney on twitter yesterday.
There's a difference between blowing off steam, and a legitimate threat.
The word "revolution" also has many meanings. I suggest you study a dictionary, put down the caffeine, and use your brain for a little while.

All bets are off, now. Game over.

Who do you think pays all the income tax in the US? The poor?
Did I say it refuted the video evidence?

It took me about 2 hours to get through all the lines and cast my vote in our heavily-Democratic city.
Other than a few disruptions from misbehaved children, things were mostly smooth.

Caveat emptor.
How about we mind our own goddamn business and stay the hell out of some third world nation's civil war?

It doesn't look hidden to me at all. It's right there at the bottom of the page, and I can see it without scrolling at all.
The topic is how Hyundai and Kia overstated fuel efficiency for certain models and is now having to compensate owners for the error.
The topic is not planned obsolescence, product mediocrity, or "gimmickery."
What does this rant have to do with the topic of the article?
They don't really read. They just cut and paste talking points from their political masters.
That's pretty funny. I am from SC, and educated, and I don't feel hostility from the "ignorant."
Oh, and by the way, the phrase you're looking for is "bald-faced lie," not "bold faced lie."
Free Red Bull and Doritos.
Sea water is not likely going to look like a short, but rather some impedance.
What's worse, that conduction is going to electrolyze the water into its component H2 and O2 gases.
What do we know easily happens to a mixture of H2 and O2? Nice source of fuel for a fire (and/or explosion).
Holy shit I spit my coffee all over my monitor.
That actually IS a pen site! Hahaha what were they thinking??
