The Free State Project particularly encourages political activists: people who are aware of issues and who want to persuade other people to their point of view. This makes them far more effective than (for instance) an unthinking immigrant from Massachusetts who thinks that he can have the lower NH taxes while voting in Massachusetts-style services and corruption.
The FSP has a real challenge ahead. When the decision to choose NH was made, NH had a Republican governor who welcomed the project. Since then, there's only been one term with a Republican governor, the rest have been Democrats who have lied, wasted, and generally acted like thieving royalty. New Hampshire used to have savings accounts of money to handle emergencies; the Democrats have emptied those accounts to buy votes and line their own pockets. More Democrats from the leftist northeast continue to move to NH, and the effects of that trend need to be defeated by education and activism.
They should have got 10x as many as they need, figuring in a 90% reneg rate.
More than 10% of those who pledged to move have already done so. Your hypothesis is well on the way to begin falsified before the actual goal of 20,000 is met. IIRC, the signers have pledged to move within 5 years of the goal being met.
The supreme state law in any state is that state's constitution. The jury is free to identify a particular law as being in conflict with the state constitution, and thereby null and void with respect to the case being tried. If the case includes a challenge to the law, the jury has the right to nullify the law generally if it conflicts with the state constitution. If you take an oath to decide based on the law, then you're required to decide on the law which takes precedence, which may be the state constitution, and it would be perjury to fail to nullify a law being challenged which contradicts the state constitution.
35 mm film is attached to the spool with sticky tape. Pull it off and it glows, fogging the film. Brilliant! Fortunately, the glow is only strong enough to expose the film directly under the tape.
Most, not all, CP/M floppies were MFM. Some old single density disks were FM. A few used something called MMFM (modified modified FM). Wozniak developed an RLL technique for Apple that could have been used on CP/M machines if special hardware been incorporated, but I don't think it ever was,
It's quite possible that the device that died was the disk drive. Most used a rubber belt to transmit rotation from a motor to the disk, and rubber doesn't age well. Other possibilities include misaligned or worn heads and dirty heads.
A sample BIOS was available from Digital Research (the company that made CP/M), in case you needed to adapt your computer to different hardware. "Custom OS" may have meant nothing more than a custom BIOS.
From what I've read, TVs not designed primarily for monitor use have poor color accuracy and an inferior gamut. This may be changing, but if you're doing critical color work you need to check carefully.
Well, we do have bigger problems than just the book. With people graduating high school unable to read, it's obvious that many more are intellectually disarmed. There are those who will read hate-filled books and be carried along with the message. The failure to get an opposing viewpoint is part of why we're having so much trouble with murderous Muslims today. We don't need more crazies.
Religion is the belief in a higher power than man. That makes religion the supreme authority of its believers...
Some modern religions, yes. Many, perhaps most primitive religions involve supernatural creatures who are meddlesome fools of negligible moral value. Consider the ancient Greek, Roman, and Norse gods for obvious examples.
Your claim is 'powerful lack of freedom does not lead to lack of freedom - freedom leads to lack of freedom'. Can't expect better from someone who thinks that bondage is a good thing, I guess. (That's a joke, son.)
One reason that terrorism is a special concern is that it has the obvious potential to expand without warning. People who live in bad neighborhoods, live with an abusive spouse, or are drug gang members have some level of understanding of the risk involved. They've been warned. The same is not true of most people who are part of a crowd of 50,000 people at a ball game.
Benjamin Franklin was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. His LIFE was threatened.
The Constitution prohibits a titled aristocracy. Most of the Founders thought that the continued limitation of the vote to property owners was a good thing, becuase it would discourage thieves as a voting block. It is deliberately misleading to call people with a stake in the success of the country a "moneyed class."
The right to gun ownership is being strengthened at the state level, and that strengthening is happening despite opposition from the federal executive and some governors. This is one rare example of "the people" having success in protecting their rights.
Realize that your implied scenario of the federal armed forces making war on the American people could easily result in the death of half of the nation's population. Among the host of problems that would provide for any surviving ruler, is that there wouldn't be as many people to push around or as much production left to steal. I know that consideration didn't prevent the actions of Stalin, but it is a negative that some rulers might consider.
the average person makes less than their working counter part in 1987
Technology has changed so much since 1987 that an "average" 1987 job is a below-average job today. Meaningful comparisons are difficult.
pensions in the private sector are a thing of the past
That's a good thing. Pensions come with chains, and pensions rely on the continuing integrity and ability to pay of the provider. IRAs and 401(k)s are far superior.
a quarter of Americans are without health care insurance
In 1776 health insurance was unknown and insurance generally was rare. That was a good thing; people employed by insurers are a drag on the economy because they consume without providing anything of value. Insurance is cowardly and encourages irresponsible behaviour. Furthermore, "health care insurance" is not "health care". The paperwork involved in insurance paying for medical care makes medical care more expensive; having payments for health care go through a third party makes health care more expensive.
___Thanks to Obamacare and preceding government blunders and usurpations, health care insurance is now in the range of 10% to 30% of gross pay. I can think of better things to do with my money than pay for health care that I may may never need, (and payment for which may be denied me should I ever need it). One of those things is paying for stuff that improves my health.
all manufacturing has been shipped overseas
There's a paper mill and a tool grinder within a half mile of my semi-rural home.
America's in a bad way and getting worse. The problems need to be properly identified.

The USPS has size and weight limits. They wouldn't accept a large TV.
Eugenics, and Internment Camps.
Lawrence Livermore Labs already has Lawrencium, and 4 syllable names are so tedious. Let's call 117 Larry. Or Liver.
No good. Plutonium is now a dwarf element.

If you can't recognize the difference between deportation and torturous murder, you aren't qualified to comment on politics.

By one stupid, vicious claim you remove all credibility for everything else you write: "of course shooting the black kid is legal."
You need to be more specific. Obama? Trump? H. Clinton? Sanders? Huckabee? Christy? Gore?

Not quite the same thing, but the history of J. Edgar Hoover should provide many interesting examples.
