Anti-scratch coatings are offered, too. Consider: if the anti-scratch coating goes on the outside, it defeats the purpose of the anti-glare coating. If the anti-glare coating goes on the outside, it defeats the purpose of the anti-scratch coating.

FWIW there is a higher percentage of late teen female virgins than male. It's not just hypocrisy, it's fact. It's the result of females risking pregnancy and being more likely to follow orders.
Ooh, and TV. And heat. And a playstation. And hot water. And air conditioning. And alcohol. And a replacement for all of those when I get plastered and break everything.
As soon as you guarantee that everybody gets some minimum, there's an effort to increase the minimum, and a lack of care by many who have the minimum to preserve what they have, because they're guaranteed it no matter how bad their behavior.
Back when automatic transmissions were new, Rolls-Royce decided that they wanted to start building automatic transmissions, so they bought one from GM and took it apart. RR engineers found one part that was rough, so they remachined it to Rolls-Royce standards and reassembled the transmission. It didn't work. Turned out that the roughness was essential to the operation of the transmission.
Lesson: quality is not always what it seems it should be.
Engineers are not that difficult to evaluate. Within a few months, often within a few weeks, another engineer can tell if they're productive and if their work looks correct. Really bad engineers are pretty easy to identify.
Naturally, it's tough to find the difference between one who does nearly everything right and one who tends to design products with serious hidden flaws, but speed, willingness to do documentation, apparent thoroughness, and a host of other important properties aren't too difficult to see.
Don't you see that you've just contradicted your own argument? There is no entity except the government that can force theistic education in all schools.
Government force has increasingly homogenized education, and that's very bad. The large part of the vast variety of culture is being lost, and if what you value isn't already gone, it will be soon.
A private bank will make damn sure that the student is serious and will follow a schedule that leads to a job which pays well enough to pay off the loan. A private bank, and many scholarships, demand grades that indicate the student is behaving responsibly.
By way of contrast, the federal government doesn't give a flying f**k how serious the student is because the gov't is just buying votes. The problem has gotten so serious that there are now laws in place that prevent student loans from being absolved by a bankruptcy.
Low cost federally subsidized student loans have ballooned the price of college education by a factor of 2 over the price of things in general over the last 50 years. Even in 1970, a full time job at 25% above the minimum wage could pay for an education at MIT, no loans needed.
Low cost student loans make college more attractive, i.e. it increases demand. Increased demand drives up prices. The low cost loans also encourage people who fail to look into the future when the loans come due, and these are the same people who demand courses in art history, transgender studies, militant feminism, and other garbage that yield a degree without economic value.
The income from loans that lead to increased prices causes increased waste at the colleges: aggressive recruitment campaigns, plush facilities and services like hot tubs, free massages, and gourmet food. Take away loans and the waste evaporates, foolish courses (and some of the foolish students) disappear, and some of the financially precarious schools fold. All of that is good.
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are explicitly protected by the US Constitution. Certain other freedoms are protected either explicitly or implicitly. Freedom to make a movie is close enough to press and speech to be considered explicitly constitutionally protected, but there are other things that should be considered here. There's more involved in making a film than running a movie camera and people talking: people are doing things, i.e. for lack of a better word, engaged in expression. Freedom of expression is not the same as freedom of speech, does not have the same justifications for being protected, and is not explicitly protected by the US Constitution.
What should be considered here is not the act of filming, but what the people who are being filmed are doing. This is a reasonable concern for the people who run the Monadnock park.
For a little extra local data: Mount Monadnock is a 2000 foot climb to a bald peak; there is no road to the top. It is the second most hiked mountain in the world. Due to the heavy use of its trails and the ecological sensitivity of some features near the peak, dogs are prohibited from the park (and rightly so). Monadnock is unique in that regard in NH.
In my opinion, NH is overreacting by prohibiting these people from filming. However, the filmmakers may be acting like jerks and creating a public nuisance, in which case NH is justified in preventing them from carrying on. In any case, it's clear that the filmmakers are not contributing to political discourse, which is the justification for freedom of speech and press.
There's no need to rush. Solar sails can move Mr. Fixit from one spot to another. Or Mr. Fixit can attach a sail to junk, and program the sail controls to take the junk to a junkyard (a.k.a. the moon).
You car's primary use is to travel upon public roadways.
No, the primary purpose of my car is to take me and my possessions from place to place, and to be ready to do so at all times, regardless of the path I take. The fact that governments have arrogated to themselves most roads is irrelevant. That brings up a second point, that almost all the time when my car is not moving (i.e. when is is possible to attach a device), it is on my driveway, in my garage, or in a privately owned parking lot. Entering upon my driveway or into my garage to act in a manner contrary to my interests and without my permission is criminal trespass. I'll bet that police don't get permission from property owners to attach a tracker to my car when they do it in a privately owned parking lot, either.
Currently there is no replacement for amalgam fillings that is as good on chewing surfaces. It's durable, cheaper than gold, slightly malleable, and weakly antibiotic to discourage new decay at the edge of the filling.
Take a trip to WalMart or any store that sells Christmas lights. Get a string of about 150 LEDs for $20.00
Actually, that's misleading, because that's only 5 watts worth of LEDs. Nevertheless, LEDs are becoming cheaper and more efficient, and there's a good chance that in a few years they'll be a reasonable lighting choice.

No doubt here, you are being one. carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) is not a pollutant.
Gee, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue isn't enough, you want to screw up a company too?
Yeah, Sculley worked really well at Apple.
Her college degree was tech, and she appears competent. What concerns me is she said "I deserve it", which is a very bad attitude.

7 billion x 3 x $120 = $2.52 trillion (US). 'nuff said.
You are making an unwarranted logical leap from not getting vaccinated to having the disease.

The US doesn't have a military draft, and hasn't had one for 40 years.
That must be why homeschooling by parents with neither training nor experience in teaching do so poorly...Oh, wait, no, they do very well indeed.

You mean have the government run indoctrination centers for whichever party is in power at the moment. Wow, such wisdom.

When police departments start costing many thousands of dollars a year per resident, public outcry will soon remove them from their jobs.

Please be careful of whatever you read at mercola. He frequently (deliberately?) confuses insecticide with insect repellant.
