Apparently, the state of Colorado disagrees with you, since they forced a baker to make a cake for a gay wedding. Mind you, the baker was willing to sell the gay couple anything but a wedding cake. He just didn't want to have a hand in the wedding celebration.
The bank a check is drawn on generally doesn't do much more than see if the account has enough funds
That's exactly the scenario I'm talking about. There is little in the way of banks knowing that the account the (substitute) check is drawn on has the funds. I'm not addressing possible reversals. Yet, we seem to hear about people having checks clear-- that is, a full business day has passed-- and somehow they don't know if the account has money or not. Why are they allowed this subterfuge? Because Check21 is not subject to ACH rules. That's B.S.
Natural gas is a great improvement over oil, in both efficiency and the environment, and it works EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE NOW. Not 10 years from now, not for skyscrapers in the cities, not only in remote areas or on shorelines, not for the rich elitists, but EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE NOW.
It costs less, helping low income people to heat their homes, and while fracking itself is a concern I think the reduced pollution and carbon dioxide emissions balance it out.
But some jackass who modded me down doesn't understand that. Hopefully, you do.
CNG is an option that SEPTA was having success with until they suddenly decided, with the price of natural gas dropping rapidly, that hybrid diesel buses were somehow cheaper.
It's become ridiculous, considering that $100 doesn't buy crap. I can't even fill a cart at the grocery store with $100 unless we loaded up on coupons.
You can bet that Home Depot or Walmart will find a way to push this cost onto the customer (and offer optional insurance for a nominal fee to avoid it).
They would have to ask each customer. I should say lost customer, because who is going to buy anything when the cashier's first words are, "Thanks for shopping at Home Depot. Would you like to buy liability insurance in case we get hacked?"
LOL... but seriously, the Check21 law helped checks "clear" faster, and ushered in the era of check-less bill pay, but have mostly only helped the banks. They'll "clear" a check, then suddenly the bank it's drawn on will discover fraud a week later and do a chargeback. That doesn't sound clear to me.
No, cooperative multitasking means what it sounds like: each application is responsible for turning control back to the system when it is time for it to do so. This means the system cannot determine priority, but the app can.

Technological advances don't imply moral advances.
We have toilets with multiple flush volumes in the US. They're not hard to find. YOU'RE ON THE INTERNET.
I print my log output on paper before rotating them.
Maybe if Cuba would return the value of the property they stole from foreign investors after the revolution, that would soften the situation.
Well said.
Just like China, right? Or every nation in the middle east (except for one).

Ad hominems aren't valid arguments.
Face it, you lost. Crawl back into your hole, AC.
The burden of proof lies with you to prove that there are political prisoners in Gitmo.
One of the others is the cable news industry.

Better yet, find a job in a company's R&D department instead of suckling at the government teat.

Karma's a bitch.

Looks more like an adjective.
OK, we'll go back to drilling more oil then.
"Green" energy isn't ready to take over yet. Gas fracking is part of the growing pains.
I don't understand why a Chinese citizen would sue the state. I've been told this is the government they want!

Maybe we'll be rid of Tara Reid once and for all.
I'm really sorry I didn't see this when I could have used my mod points. LOL
How do you expect families to afford diapers that cost over $3 each?
Oh, you thought somehow the "rich capitalists" were just going to eat it?
