I miss the real Woot. Amazon left it alone for a short time and then ruined it.
I used to be a daily visitor and used Woot-off trackers to try to get the Bag of Crap (14-time "winner", according to the account records). I even have a set of Woot-off Lights. The second thing I bought on the site was the 65" Olevia LCD TV on 8/25/08 (believe me, it was HUGE at that time and $2,300 was a good price).
The last two things I bought were a shirt on 2/11/15 and a shirt on 9/28/12, and the recent purchase was due to a link from another site.
Ummm, you do realize where the majority of oil comes from, right?
Yes. 58.2% comes from non-OPEC countries. And some OPEC countries are not in Africa or the Middle East.
You also realize that the reason these guys would go after this stuff is because of our gluttony and wealth of resources, along with our foreign policies in the regions we're talking about, right?
Absolutely. The terrorists attack us because we're the Bad Guys. They're just the poor oppressed people who execute people by setting them on fire in cages and blowing them up with buried bombs, in between destroying irreplaceable archaeological sites and artifacts and selling women and girls into sexual slavery.
There are also proposals to put a large solar array several square kilometers in area in the Sahara Desert [desertec.org] that could generate power for the entire planet
And on the plus side, that's a nice stable area where we wouldn't have to worry about some terrorist group trying to blow up any key collection facilities either!
From what I understand Boeing is looking to have two new Air Force One (I know, this is the plane's designation when the President is on board and not the model number, but people know the former and not the latter) orders be the triumphant end to new production.
On many sites if you want to let ALL the scripts run you have to hit "Temporarily allow all this page" six or seven times before all scripts are running. Now, let's assume that one of these scripts contains an exploit. Who is responsible for serving that script to you?
Maybe people should start arming themselves with green lasers and burning out the CCDs in the drone cameras. Better than shooting them down and it doesn't get you a "discharging a firearm" violation.
Sort of like poking a Peeping Tom in the eye with a stick instead of shooting him.
The New Course at St Andrews opened in 1895. The Old Course was in use in the early 1400s. There's a foot bridge at the 18th on the Old Course that's at least 700 years old, built for shepherds, that predates the game itself.
"That means I'll have yet a fourth music service in my life (Spotify, Google Play Music, Prime, and Apple Music) and a fourth set of content exclusives and pricing windows to think about instead of just listening to music."
Then why use it? Just because Apple puts out a product does NOT mean that you have to buy or use it.
Valve can't count to three. HL, Portal, L4D, TF...
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
It really does depend on your games. What works for one gamer may be completely unsuitable for another.
I'm playing Guild Wars 2 with two crossfired 7870s with the highest graphics settings and I'm CPU bound (OCed i5-3570K) in most cases (except where there's really, really heavy particle effects). Most MMOs are like that. If I played Tombraider or Bioshock Infinite (installed and waiting to be played for over a year) on highest settings then I'd likely be GPU bound.
You are probably right. President Obama has changed/extended statutory deadlines several times by executive fiat. If he can ignore laws he doesn't like and invent new ones from whole cloth that he can't get passed otherwise, and be applauded for it by people who prefer "results" over Constitutional limitations on powers, then why does he even need this extension anyway? He can just declare that the program will continue because he's "administratively" extended the deadline. He can even declare (with some grounding in fact), because of the Constitution's separation of powers, that the judicial branch can't order the executive branch to do or stop doing something just like he can't order them or the legislation branch to do or stop doing something so they can't make him stop the program.
"You are talking about one of many forms of socialism, I'm talking about a different form, one that predates Libertarian Capitalism and is the original form of Libertarianism. You're probably American where the brainwashing"
No reason to read further. No chance of rational discussion.
There is a HUGE but subtle difference between what you're describing and Socialism.
Your friend bought into a sawmill. He also happens to work there. I don't think that you would label as "socialist" the degenerative case of a sole proprietorship where one person is the worker and owns the means of production, or if he brought in three partners who also all work there.
In Credit Unions/Co-ops and your sawmill example the workers (and members) are the people who own the means of production. In Socialism, The People own the means of production. See the difference? In socialism, ALL of The People are the supposedly the owners of everything (which means, of course, that nobody really owns anything). EVERYONE would own the sawmill that only those workers BOUGHT and own. EVERYONE (not just the members) would own the Credit Union. EVERYONE (not just the members) would own the Co-op.
Co-ops and worker-owned business are 100% compatible with capitalism. In capitalism a business exists to make a profit. That profit is usually but not necessarily measured in dollars. In terms of Credit Unions profit also includes the lowered costs of services to its members compared to a bank. In terms of your sawmill they probably also included the substantial non-tangible benefit of not being laid off in a down turn, which likely would hurt "traditional" profits in those times.
It doesn't actually have to require a clearance. It can be considered "dual-use"/"export-controlled" technology like Active Flight Controls. This is not "proof" against offshoring but makes it a lot more difficult and expensive.
Consider it a parallel to those gawdawful stupid "You're about to get sued" phone scams. Everybody knows they're scams, yet enough ignorant/scared people take the bait to still make it worthwhile.
It's actually beneficial to the scammers that the scams are so transparent. Those who will eventually figure it out and stop before paying any money drop out right away, leaving only the truly gullible for the scammers to devote real effort to.

You can't believe that your family watches less than 1-1/2 hours per average day?

Maybe if the anti-nuclear energy crowd wasn't so litigious that number would indeed be lower.

It's sad that 31 years old counts as 'new'.
Everything is relative. New means "newer".

It's always nice when The Government (other people) pays for it.
Make it a program where everyone with broadband pays 25% or 50% more to fund the program and it won't be so popular.

EPA is God when they agree with the environmentalists. Now we'll hear all about why they're wrong or why this is misleading.

Wish I could edit.
r = 1/n2pi.
Plus any place one mile north of a set of circles pi/n miles north of the South Pole, where n is a positive integer.
Walk one mile south to a line, walk west around the circle n times, walk one mile north back to your starting point.
Actually it's r = n/2pi. As soon as I clicked submit I realized the error.

It's pretty simple actually.
Yes or No: "I have the right to kill you because you drew a picture that offends me."
Everything else, religion, culture, race, "provoking", everything, is clutter.
The new SNL version (at work, can't link youtube) about executive orders is what's in force now.
