Wish we could put "a pound of flesh" back in the tax code.
Don't forget to include the blood and other tissue that will be removed as a consequence of removing the pound of flesh, or you may find that you can't actually collect the flesh. I think there was a story about this.
A while ago, both my son and I had the same model of Samsung phone. When the phones were about 4 years old, my phone got an OTA update, but my son's phone did not.
The difference? I had downloaded and installed an update that was only available via Kies. It was never pushed as an OTA update.
By "up to date", do you mean that you have the latest firmware installed, or that the firmware that is installed has all the security fixes to Android that Google has issued?
IOW, are you sure your phone hasn't been orphaned?
Exactly how many acts of terrorism, or even suspected terrorists in the USA came from the affected countries in the past couple of decades?
If you really thought that such bans will keep your family safe, you should be advocating loudly for bans affecting Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and many other countries.
The reasons that people say the travel ban is Islamaphobia is that it is not based on facts, Trump has a history of saying he wants to ban Muslims and places in which Trump has business interests appear to have escaped the ban.
This country should not adopt policies that are based in false fears.
"shipping"? It costs that much more to ship from China to New Zealand than from China to the USA?
In any case, ultimately, it's New Zealanders, not Apple, who is going to pay for this.
Maybe, maybe not. A rational actor sells products at the price that brings the most profit. If Apple's costs go up, that doesn't change the price expectations of Apple's customers.
What "benefit" does NZ provide to Apple? NZ didn't significantly contribute to the development, manufacture, or distribution of iPhones. All that happens is that iPhones arrive in NZ ports and New Zealanders buy them. And those activities are already heavily taxed through income taxes and sales taxes.
Please then explain why iPhones cost approximately 10% more in NZ than in the USA? Clearly there is some added value that had incurred in NZ.
If anyone thinks that Comey, or anyone high up in the intelligence cabal is on either the (R) or the (D) team, they are naive.
Comey and the other members of the Intelligence-Industrial complex have their own team. They exist to preserve and expand their own power and influence. Any help they give to the Republicans or Democrats is purely incidental to their own goals.
But note that the second half uses "and" to separate the items, not "or".
So, I would argue that the first part is not missing an oxford comma, but instead is missing an "and", so you get: "... storing, and packing for shipment or distribution"
I don't think that your analysis is correct. It's not so simple.
The first set of items are connected by missing "and" terms, not or terms:: "The canning, and processing, and preserving,... and preparing for shipment or delivery of....". Looked at like this, the "or" stands alone.
At some point, someone has to be the grownup in the room and say "you know, that would be really nice, but we simply can't afford it".
Please explain why this proposed budget gives a huge bung to the richest Americans if the intent is to do something about the deficit? And while you are at it, explain how a huge increase in military spending helps with the deficit?

FedEx is not paying anyone to install flash. Instead, they are offering a $5 discount. There is a huge difference.
Like many things in the bible, it's not so clear cut.

I would say "you must be new here", but I see from your ID that you have been reading Slashdot for many years.

Since our brains have to multitask when driving, perhaps we simply drop the redundant task?
Perhaps, if you have a passenger sitting there with a map, you don't fully trust them?

And, just as I thought, you are unable to point to actual lies in the GP post. You are just full of shit.
Exactly what is a lie in the GP post?

"For Every Complex Problem, There Is an Answer That Is Clear, Simple, and Wrong" H.L. Mencken (sort of).
Just look at the scores that Spamassassin applies to DKIM. They are so low that DKIM makes no significant difference.
How about at least 64 years?
... or, more likely, where are the billing hours for lawyers in that?
But what would we discuss then? Where's the fun in that?
It's not insane. Look at the second list: the items are joined by "and" not "or". This is English, not Boolean logic.
But note that the second half uses "and" to separate the items, not "or".
So, I would argue that the first part is not missing an oxford comma, but instead is missing an "and", so you get:
"... storing, and packing for shipment or distribution"
The comma only reduces ambiguity in this case if you assume the meaning. What if the original intent was as the court has concluded?
I don't think that your analysis is correct. It's not so simple.
The first set of items are connected by missing "and" terms, not or terms:: ... and preparing for shipment or delivery of ....". Looked at like this, the "or" stands alone.

Starting with the biggest area of discretionary spending:: the military.
Also, spending isn't the only way to affect the problem. Taxes on the wealthiest Americans could be increased.

How can you be so naive? The debt ceiling only matters when there is a Democrat in the White House.
