Logic and reality means nothing to these officious, ignorant twits. They just pass laws requiring vehicles to get a billion mpg and one part per trillion trillion trillion of "pollution". We'll see what happens when everybody in these hovels starts to die because their food can't even begin to be delivered.
Those who built the industrial revolution would toss their cookies to see their offspring committing mass suicide by throttling themselves to death as their standard of living plummets.
All right, I'll bite. Where can I get FreeBSD for $5/mo? I used to use BSDVM, but they went under. The others I found were pretty much all grossly overpriced or unacceptably broken in some way.
So do you think that if I spend time learning about Nazism, or Communism, or jihadism, or... christianity perhaps... including getting input from their proponents and practitioners, that should make me a criminal? I hereby issue a "fuck you" to those trying to make it so.

None of those things cause harm to anyone, and you have adduced no evidence that he advocates or assists the carrying out of harm.
On what basis do you argue that Article 421-2-5-2 was not duly enacted as a valid law of France?
To a free man it's not valid, because holding that reading the wrong things is criminal is an evil power trip and violates the first principle of human rights. Prohibition was "duly enacted" in the US, too, but it was a stupid, ill-advised, and evil power trip.
Yeah, Ratzo, the "jihadis" in Afghanistan helped end the cancer that was the USSR. And earlier we made common cause with the USSR and the murdering SOB Stalin against the Nazis.
Ronald Reagan did NOT import hordes of unassimilable savages into the US as fast as he could. Employing a strategy which turns out to have undesirable side effects is NOT the same as doing one's level best to destroy the nation and turn it into a cesspool.
Amen. Get rid of pennies, nickels, AND DIMES. And half-dollars. AND DOLLAR BILLS (yech!). All we need are quarters and dollar coins. Make the new quarters about the physical size of the present penny, and keep the new dollar coins about the physical size of the present quarters. I'd also be inclined to replace $5 bills and $10 bills with coins. There's nothing more disgusting than dirty, smelly folding money. Of course you woul;d keep 20s, 50s, and 100s.
All of human civilization consumes about 500 exajoules of energy per year, which is only about 16 TW. (Of which electricity is only a fraction, BTW)
Your slip is showing. First of all, joules are energy and TW are power, so your conversion is nonsense. Secondly, assuming you actually meant TWh, not TW, you are off by several orders of magnitude. The total worldwide electricity production in 2012 was 18,000 to 22,000 TWh
#1, 2, and 3 sure as hell didn't generate until April 2012 because they were all utterly destroyed in March 2011. The others I am not sure about. Also, you didn't make any account whatever of capacity factor. It certainly isn't 100.0% for ANY nuclear power plants.
To be sure. Which is why anyone with any sense whatever would build quonset hut towns to house the displaced. That's what they did for the interned Japanese-Americans in WW II. And many Manhattan Project workers.
If Lawrence Lessig had actually argued that the Electoral Vote was "ignored" in 1824, then he would be the stupidest Harvard law professor in history. The article reveals no such claim. The summary is FULL OF SHIT.
1824 was duly resolved by the House of Representatives casting one vote per state to select the winner, precisely as prescribed by Article II Section I of the Constitution, when none of the four candidates received a majority of the Electoral Vote.
1876 was a cluster foxtrot due to disputes in several of the state votes. It was "resolved" by an extra-Constitutional informal agreement between the parties, known as the Compromise of 1877.
The 2016 situation is that no one of any standing has proposed that sufficient state votes are in question to possibly swing the Electoral vote. Failing that, there exists no Constitutional basis whatever for anyone (Congress or anyone else) to invalidate the due process.
Mr. Lessig is absolutely correct to point out that there is no Constitutional basis for preventing any Elector from casting his vote as dictated by his conscience. Some of the states have made it mandatory that Electors must vote for their own party, but there exists no mechanism to invalidate or undo such a "faithless vote" by an Elector. The most the state could do ex post facto would be to fine or penalize the Elector. His vote would stand.
The simple fact is that the next President will only be chosen after all the electors have their meetings in their separate states in December and cast their ballots, and these ballots are all duly delivered to Congress in January, and the Congress duly tallies and certifies them. That is the reality. Deal with it.
Encrypt away, and obscure it against reverse engineering, then. That didn't prevent them from breaking Enigma 75 years ago. You can barely slow them down today, and they will be laughing at you for the futility of what you attempt.
For God's sake, Android is one giant security nightmare from the git go. So is iOS. So are computers in total. You can't "patch" away the reality. With great capability comes great potential for wrongdoing. The black hat is ALWAYS going to be ahead in the arms race. The black hat only has to nose around endlessly and find a single vulnerability. The good guys have to constantly plug ALL the holes that spring up. It's like trying to protect against IEDs by devising constantly stronger armor. You take what used to be a cost-effective jeep and end up with a rolling monster weighing as much as a WW II tank, gulping fuel like a drain, and costing as much as if it were solid gold. And all they do is make bigger IEDs. Even if you make the armor a foot thick including an awkward sideways-deflecting floor and bulletproof glass, they make the IEDs so big the goddam thing gets blown end-over-end and lands upside down 50 feet away, everybody inside dead from the concussion.
Where does it say there anything about "missing its date"?
And, you do understand that there is no meeting of the electoral college in a central place to vote, right? The electors for each state meet separately in their own states.
Last point - the House would just vote Trump into office anyway if there were this disaster going on and no one were sure about the electors.
Sorry; there is absolutely no Constitutional basis for this. The sole scenario in which the House decides is the case where no candidate gets a majority of the electoral vote - for example, a third party gets enough electoral votes to prevent it. Believe it or not, this is how Thomas Jefferson won in 1800. There were no less than 4 candidates bunched closely (Jefferson and Aaron Burr exactly tied!) in the electoral vote, and the House voted. John Quincy Adams in 1824 was another case[*], and I BELIEVE John Adams in 1796 was another.
Samuel J Tilden in 1876 must have been pretty chafed. Rutherford B Hayes won that year by a SINGLE electoral vote out of 369!
Contrary to what many suppose, things used to be much more exciting than they have been for the last 140 years.
[*] John Quincy Adams was not even the winner of a PLURALITY of the electoral vote!
I am not an American, but I was wondering if Clinton Campaign can -- at least hypothetically -- really challenge the results? I mean, is it a thing?
She can go for holding recounts in several extremely close states, which could easily tip significant blocks of electors. The problem is that there are not enough of these extremely close states to present a path to her getting an electoral majority via recount. OTOH, calling to invalidate the results, and maybe hold a new election, is something for which there is no precedent or Constitutional basis.
And it was a damn well written and well presented speech, too. Far better than anything she presented during the campaign. There was no trace of her trademark shrill screeching, and gave her a completely new tone and impression. I was impressed, and I am about as strongly anti-Hillary as it is possible to be.
Once you assign motivations you are engaging in supposition and are no longer dealing with facts.
Undeniably true from a philosophical standpoint. However, motivations are judged and duly taken into account in legal proceedings all the time. For example, intent to kill or inflict grievous bodily harm is a prime consideration in a murder conviction, but not for homicide per se. Motivation often spells the difference between wrongful death and murder.
You cannot construct honestly another motivation for bypassing the use of the PROPER email server, save to hide information and sidestep accountability.
How goddam hard has it ever been to change to linux? You just put the goddam CD in the CD-ROM reader or plug in the goddam USB stick and reboot. Sheesh. The way it has ALWAYS been.
