  1. Re:Something is wrong with the headline... on Senate Passes Bipartisan Energy Bill To Develop New Technologies, Improve Cybersecurity (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    They have been passing bipartisan bills for years. The only places that are saying otherwise are the various kook sites that are read by liberals.

  2. My mistake. on Sanders Campaign Accused of Trademark Bullying By Web Site (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Major mistake on my part!!!
    I thought they were looking for examples of Hillary
    . For trump....
    Referring to illegal immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America he said lot of them were criminals, drug users or rapists before they came to the USA.
    Wanted to build a wall, fence would be the term Democrats prefer, to ensure the border of the USA.
    After one of the terrorist attacks from a muslim immigrant he said the USA should not allow any muslim immigrants in until Congress had figured what was going on and what happened.

  3. There are plenty of examples.
    tried to ban Muslim companies from purchasing companies that have offices in the USA.
    Multiple references to non-whites as "colored people"
    Received funding and the support from the grandmaster of the kkk and never denounced it.
    Those are just three examples of the racism.

  4. Now that all that money has been paid and a decision has been made we can now cut almost all funding of it. Since we have a firm decision the federal government should stop spending any more funds on this topic.

    Moved to a new libraries and got a couple of e-books, they used Amazon library. No additional software to install, and I can access the books on any Kindle software system.

    Actually he called for stopping them from entering until the government âoefigure out what is going onâ (his words) about one of the terrorist attacks.
    Didn't he disavow the support from the KKK and return money they had sent him, so far the person who has not done that is Hillary. http://dailycaller.com/2016/03...

  7. Re:Are millennials better at Science on Bill Nye: Climate Change Denial Is 'Running Out of Steam,' Thanks To Millennials (mic.com) · · Score: 1

    A lot of them have just accepted the group think of not thinking for themselves. They just accept and repeat what they hear as the majority of the people and go along with that.
    So in cases like this they accept the message about global warming and don't really care. If they have the money they will purchase items that make it look like they care. As one example look at the Prius. There are plenty of other car models that do as well but they look like the regular car. The Prius looks differently and that is one of its major selling points.

  8. Re:The incredibly expanding mountain cabin on 20th Anniversary of Unabomber's Arrest (abc10.com) · · Score: 1

    It was searched for 10 days. The "different searches" were because they found things like a live bomb which caused a delay when they had to stop for a while.

  9. Re:Those smart liberals at work. on Bill Introduced To Require ID When Purchasing "Burner Phones" (house.gov) · · Score: 1

    All the states I know of that passed laws requiring identification provided for free for the poor. Some states also set aside money to pay for transportation to the government office of choice if they didn't have other methods.
    If it happens so infrequently why do Democrats keep claiming that various Republicans stole the so many election? Or why was there so many actual voter fraud that occurred in Chicago the previous election.

    Part of the issue is that you are just seeing comparisons of European cities to the worst of rural america.
    I recently moved from rural Europe to USA. In europe I got 1 MB for around $60 and people within 10km of me were still on ADSL. I am now getting 100MB(speed wise I average 120MB) and lots of TV and music channels for around $105.

    The commercial ones, and why you are paying $400, is that they come with an antenna and cabling. It is expected that you will drill a hole and run the cable from the box to the antenna.

  13. Re:If obesity ever becomes a protected class on Dutch Companies Not Allowed To Fitness-Track Their Employees (www.nu.nl) · · Score: 1

    Where are you getting those fabricated numbers?
    The only calves getting slaughtered at six months are those being sold for veal aka meadow, rose or milk and meadow (some marketing terms)>
    Cattle given growth promotants and then finished in a feed lot for 3-4 month will be slaughtered at 14-17 months.
    For grass finished, except for some very expense beef all cattle are grass fed. That 2 years is high it would have to be open range and a bull or cow. However the majority of grass finished you find on the market are not. You are started to get a large percent that spend time in a barn or corral being feed grass products up to the time of being slaughtered. In higher end places you are finding fattening fields with a growing field of growth promoting grasses and they allow the cattle to eat all they want, comes close to duplicating the effects of the feed lot.
    Also you are going to get those hormones because with those grass finished cattle they are mostly likely steer and maybe some heifers and they produce those hormones naturally.

    There is a large legal industry of hackers, so getting a large amount of skilled people who can pass a background check and are vetted is expensive but possible.

  17. Re:Why? My Cable Card Tuner is great on FCC Votes To Fight Cable's Reign Over Set-top Boxes (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Some access can be done via the cable card. However some companies require their boxes to make use of video on demand and other features.
    Since those extra features are what will keep you with that company verse another they then require that you get a box as part of any discounted offer. You don't have to use it and the discount more than pays for the box but it is still something that kills off competition and 3rd party boxes.

    Recently started a job where I am supporting a school. We had a company come in and setup a demo showing their teaching software and hardware.
    Most of the people took some time goofing around with them but afterwards the teachers were pretty much in agreement. While it was neat and could have some usage they were wondering who was going to spend all the time needed in setting up the class lessons and entering the information into that system. Then for the money it would be easier to just purchase a physical model or an actual product and use that.

    I use to live in Germany and loved the single payer system there.
    I would call up for an appointment and would have it that week. Doctors would take me in at lunch, or whatever time I wanted.

    I do need to explain I was not on the German single payer system. When I would first called up and told them I had an issue,non life threatening it would be a few weeks, however after they would check my record and see I was not using the single payer system I would be accommodated in the next day or so. I would go in by pass all the people who had been there for a while, get the work done an be out why they were still sitting there. The system payer system is great, as long as I am not on it.
