After "Wow! This great news for addicts," my second though was the same. I'm afraid our ever-meddling governments will make this a compulsory vaccine... because if you're not an addict, you have nothing to worry about!
Check 21 started out as a recommendation by the Fed and became a bill called the Check Truncation Act before it was renamed. This all happened months before 9/11.
I'm sure that's the solution: get rid of the Republicans. Let's ignore the fact that at the local level, partisanship is much less of an issue. I'm sure that reducing ourselves to one-party rule is the solution. We don't need to address waste, loss, graft, or high administrative salaries.
I'd go as far as saying that there is not much hope left for the U.S., because its control structures are far beyond repair, its human capital bottlenecked by the very pursuit of wealth.
Oh, I see. Maybe it's because there is no free market, just crony capitalism?
Ultimately, it's about inching toward a unified world view. To think or act otherwise is notihng more than racism and elitism.
I notice that "doesn't smell horrible and attract flies" is not one of the requirements. One of the reasons we use water in our toilets is to use it to block the trap so that smells don't come up. The waterless urinals (which I think are great) work because they replace the water with a fluid that floats on top of the urine. You still need the sewer system... you just don't need the water supply.
I often hear that British TV is the best in the world and if that's the case it's entirely down to the BBC's system of funding which relieves it from commercial and political pressures
You mean there aren't any lobbyists from the BBC trying to get the TV licence fees raised?
simply - you might mean "naively", in that you're presenting what seems to be an obvious explanation but hasn't been subject to rigour;
"That is naively because a large portion of the population does not truly think about what they are saying and are simply regurgitating what they have heard." Does that make sense to you?
large portion - large proportion. We're not discussing Soylent Green;
Considering that the first definition for "portion" in most dictionaries is "a part of a whole", not your narrow definition of "an amount of food", you're either a troll or an even worse pedant than the person to which you responded. And when I say "pedant" I mean the primary definition of "someone who relies too much on academics or is overly obsessed with detail", not "schoolmaster".
It's easy to find out. Put some hidden checks in the code that don't seem to do anything, but really run a checksum against the executable. If anyone hacks it, all will seem to go well until the project is exported, at which point a single frame depicting male genitalia will be inserted every few minutes randomly. I don't think the customer will appreciate being dick-rolled, especially if that video finds its way into a television broadcast before the problem is detected.

Run Windows 7 or Mac OS X on a computer made in 1995.
Backwards compatibility is not a flaw. You could always get a PCI that uses EFI if you want to make sure it doesn't run an old OS.
First, the federal law must not violate the 10th amendment of the Constitution.
An appeal to ridicule is also not an acceptable argument. Thanks for playing.

Why are we focusing on the USA?

Ad hominems are no substitute for hard data.

Is maize a fruit?

Understandable they may be skeptical, but not that they hassle her for it.

What did Tesla charge that guy $45,000 for, then? A recharge?
An economic socialist, by definition, wants a high level of government control of the economy.
The original article claims that multiple customers were told to pay $15,000-45,000 to have their batteries repaired/replaced.
The average Slashdotter wants global governance of meatspace; why not the internet?
The car has 315 HP. It's not typical, and getting anywhere near 30 MPG with that kind of vehicle is excellent.
The AMC Eagle was 30 years ahead of its time.
Saturn was axed during the recession, well after the SUV buying peak.
I thought were paying taxes to run government, not create "fairness".
Article 1, Sec, 8, U.S. Constitution, anyone?
This also isn't a computer game from the 1980s!

Biased info? I mean, you linked to Media Matters. But I'm not one to lean on fallacious arguments.
Or about three times the temperature of my old Pentium 4 CPU. Got it!
