I graduated from New Paltz High School in the early 1990s, and they had just built a computer lab consisting of a bunch of IBM PS/2 model 40s on a token ring network with a model 80 server.
Most of the teachers there didn't know jack about computers, and decided to have a few computer nerds in our class administer the computers in exchange for Comp Sci credits.
The only person who can dictate anything in the US is the President, via Executive Orders directing policy in the various agencies that have been delegated omnipotent, unaccountable power by Congress.
One Congressman can't dictate squat, thankfully (notice I did not say "thank God," because there is no such thing as God).
When Vz and Comcast were threatened with the prospect of having to scan and filter their networks of P2P traffic and be held responsible for the theft of music and movies, they went to the government screaming "hey, we're a public utility and common carrier, not a content provider! We're not responsible for what goes on our network!" And, the government bought it.
Now, they'll be talking out the other side of their mouths saying "hey, we're content providers, not common carriers! We shouldn't be forced to carry everyone's media content equally and fairly!" And, the government will buy it.
With so many people ditching Cable and Sat TV plans in favor of an Internet-Only household, and with the Cable Companies being the majority providers of Internet Access, of course we had to see this coming.
Vz and Comcast aren't going to sit idly by while their subscribers ditch the media services and keep only the delivery service, and spend their money at Netflix and other media services.
The question is, will it be considered anti-competitive for them to allow unlimited delivery of their own media over the pipe, while charging extra for media from their competitors? I certainly think that's anti-competitive, and where net neutrality needs to come into play. But, I doubt we'll see it happen, at least in the US.
Why would the NRA be interested in the OP's situation since it did not involve actual possession or carrying of a firearm? I think this is much more a problem of civil liberties in general than gun rights specifically. I could see the same thing happening to me after handling oil or spilling gasoline on my hands at the gas pump (if they look for those kinds of compounds).
If the OP's story is true, it's horrifying, and I would think the ACLU could look past their own bias (which I agree with the OP they have) and see this terrifying abolition of constitutional rights for what it is.

And, because the chain of custody has been violated, the Canadian government doesn't know shit about it, either.
It's quite honestly horrifying that they would take it back, considering it could very well be adulterated now, or laced with anthrax, or cyanide, or have been totally replaced with artificially flavored high fructose corn syrup.
They'll have to empty all 600 barrels, test them, reprocess them, and repackage them, which will certainly change the flavor and consistency.
Go to Nova Odessa, Campinas, Americana, or other "exurbs" of Sao Paulo and it becomes a very different story. These are the places where red lights are truly truly mean "if you want to get mugged, robbed, and have your car stolen, stop here."
In Americana there is a black market propane truck that will drive around and sell you propane off quota and off tax. It's disguised as an ice cream truck and even plays the little tune as it drives around. If you order a certain ice cream, they'll pull around the side of your house and do a quick fill (usually not more than about 10lbs in a shot to keep the time down, and that's all people there can afford).
Reputable companies are starting to do that. Both Newegg and Amazon now tag reviews with whether the person writing it actually bought the product. It's a nice feature, except to date there is no check box that says "Don't Show Unverified Reviews" that I've seen. It's easy to skip over the trolls, but it'd be even nicer if I didn't even have to see them.
There is a compelling case to be made that Sunrise causes Earthquakes. Every single Earthquake ever recorded by Man has occurred within 24 hours of a Sunrise. Therefore, Sunrise obviously causes Earthquakes.
No, I have no idea what a "Beowolf cluster" is. I tried your Google search, and found tons of results for a similarly-named "Beowulf cluster," which I am already quite familiar with.
Easy. Just borrow more from China, or just do another round of "Quantitative Easing" (just print the money), or just raise taxes... taxpayers have infinite money, when you consider the sum total of all future contributions from all taxpayers until the end of time.
What kind of idiot has to wonder why people are rude online? It's because we're rude in real life. We just make more of an effort to cover it up in person to avoid the social pressure of looking like an asshole in front of everybody.
That kind of real-life instant feedback is compelling, but does not exist on the Internet.
Actually, modern "racing" bikes are unbelievably simple. They've really taken the guesswork out of them. The bottom bracket bearings were the big thing, because the older needle/roller bearings, and the even older loose ball bearings, were a royal maintenance nightmare. Now, the bearings are pressed right into the frame, or live in a screw-in outer bearing shell, are completely sealed, and last practically forever - especially if you get the ceramic type.
The other mechanisms have been radically simplified as well. I built myself a new road bike last November and haven't had to lay a wrench on it since I finished it except to change tires/tubes. Just keep them clean and lubed and you'll almost never have to do anything to them.
As far as comfort, if you get the right size and set it up right, you can ride for hours and not be uncomfortable. The key is to take the time to fit yourself correctly, and not just let the bike shop guy do it. The bike shop guy works part time and is only there to get EP privileges. True fitting requires time on your part, or hiring a professional fitter who will actually measure your skeletal structure (using a goniometer), and use video aids to fit you just right. Getting the right top tube length, stem height length and angle, saddle height and fore/aft position, saddle level angle, crank arm length, and handlebar width reach and drop, is not a trivial endeavor.
But you're right. They do cost a small fortune, but you can still get good deals if you wait for the right time of year (now), or go to work part time for a bike shop long enough to get EP privileges.
Yeah I know. I didn't realize until after I posted that I my "K" didn't take...
And, of course Slashdot is still stuck in 1997 and doesn't have a facility for editing posts like EVERY OTHER FUCKING ONLINE FORUM ON THE GODDAMN PLANET DOES.
I thought it was illegal to tamper with Federal Emission Controls, including removing them from the vehicle. All of the articles are slashdotted, so I can't go read them.
For those of you who have read it, did he address the legal issues surrounding removing the federally-mandated emissions controls from the vehicle?

LTE is not 4G.
The only implementation of 4G that exists is LTE-Advanced, which is not deployed anywhere in the United States.

Your hard drives and cooling fans spin the wrong way to work in the southern hemisphere anyway.

The reason they've come down so much in price is because of the smaller process sizes being used, requiring less silicon for the same capacity.
Of course you pay for it with reduced endurance and drive lifetime.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Well, they ARE, sort of.

Who are they to tell me I must ignore do-not-track if it's coming from a particular browser? What if I *want* to honor do-not-track from IE10?

But, not much on a "Beowolf cluster."
Sorry.

At least, this is how government thinks.

I once installed 48 Android-x86 virtual machines on an ESXi box just to see if I could do it.
300... that must have been fun.
It seems to me the bacteria are just stripping off the chloride and leaving the gold behind. The gold is already there, so how it is being "created?"
Corporations ARE people, remember? They had to be given legal status as "people" so they could be sued in court for damages.
Be careful what you wish for...
