It wasn't too long ago that the ThinkPad T-series had a magnesium cage inside protecting all the parts, and stainless steel hinges that would not break. Don't know if that's still the case now, but Lenovo kept to that when HP and Dell went with cheap plastic shit that would wear out through normal use, much less any form of accident or abuse.
But it's not the State establishing the exchange, which is what the argued-about language says.
I think everyone is in agreement that the exchange is being established, but the mealy-mouthed language of the law allows for this challenge based on what entity established it.
I'm no lawyer, and I'm glad the decision went the way it did. But clearly 9 Supreme Court Justices thought that it wasn't explicit enough, so they chose to hear the case.
I'm also glad that this is hopefully the last bitchy little petulant lawsuit regarding this legislation.
I'm thinking that the missing link in his logic is that if the State decides not to 'establish' an exchange, then the Federal exchange is tacitly authorized to be the 'established' exchange of the State.
Of course, that's stated absolutely nowhere in the text of the law, but that's probably the link.
Best case: "We're releasing a new version that fixes MANY NASTY EXPLOITED SECURITY HOLES and by the way fucks around with your browser settings. If you don't install it, you get constant nagging to update, and if you do install it, you'd better pay attention or we will install a bunch of shit you don't want."
More likely case: "We're releasing a new version that fixes MANY NASTY EXPLOITED SECURITY HOLES and by the way fucks around with your browser settings. If you don't install it, you get constant nagging to update, and if you do install it, we install a bunch of horseshit shovelware that there is no chance to prevent."
Fuck that bullshit. Java is quickly becoming the next flash - a framework of yesteryear that has outlived it's usefulness.
Just because Sun put in the first round of crapware doesn't make Oracle completely absolved - they could have changed it to opt-in rather than opt-out, or removed it entirely. And they're definitely not helping by making my browser more "vibrant and advanced" by jerking with my search settings to use an engine I DON'T FUCKING WANT TO USE.
There is nothing stopping them from getting WHQL certification of their OEM drivers and submitting them to Microsoft. If their drivers are written properly (with proper hardware identification strings for PCI / USB / ACPI devices) then they will apply before generic drivers, and this isn't even a problem.
Funny how we don't hear about this from Acer / Dell / HP / Lenovo / etc...
Why is it that when the government does something that he doesn't like, it's "big government run amok" but when it's something that I don't like, I'm "an America hater"?
What would the Founding Fathers, which most conservatives uphold to be the absolute pinnacle of what our government should strive to be, say about the NSA's data collection on it's own citizens? I personally think they made it perfectly clear in the 4th Amendment, but that's just me.
Reprocessing isn't limited by weapons treaties - it's just a political hot potato because reprocessing of nuclear fuel is damn close to extracting plutonium for weapons creation. So the countries that have nuclear weapons and know how to do this aren't big on building reprocessing plants, lest they get repurposed.
The physics, though, were worked out in the 1940s during the Manhattan Project.
Or, they could have greatly increased the mass of the probe to include reaction mass and a thruster to slow down and capture into orbit... but that would have then required a far bigger lifter to get it off Earth to begin with, etc.
Plus you're doing it all on automation because Pluto is ~5.4 light-hours away...
What makes me laugh is the context of Kennedy's remark there - one of "the other things" is referring to a previous sentence in the speech where he's asking why Rice plays Texas in college football, knowing that they will be creamed every year.
Context:
There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
Is HP capable of doing anything these days without either making a complete hash of it, or landing in legal trouble?
That's an inclusive 'or' - they appear to be quite capable of making a complete hash of something AND landing in legal trouble over it.

My recommendation is to just find a job where you aren't working for a bag with which one douches.
You don't have to be in the Fortune 100 in order to have managers that aren't complete fuckheads and will actually provide the tools necessary to get the job done.

Now that would be undecidedly Apple - redesigning a framework with a major OS release, realizing that it's shit, and then reverting to the concrete-stable way you did it for a decade rather than botching it together until it sorta works.
Yeah, we've heard that they are going to open source stuff before, and we're still waiting. Where's my open FaceTime standard that Steve Jobs promised when he introduced FaceTime?
I'd really like Apple to put Swift and Metal out there as open source - it will only increase the adoption rate. But past performance leads me to doubt...

Yeah, it's a pretty radical decision to state that the equal protection clause should actually provide for equal protection under the law.
Yeah, I forgot that the standard operational context for Windows is to have it do 85 things you don't want it to for every 10 you do.
Guess I've been using OS X and Linux too long where the default is to get what you ask for, and very little else.

Vibrant?
What the fuck does that even mean?

You assume there is still a functioning transmitter after the blackout ends.
The best way to deal with an egomaniac is to pretend he's not even there.
