It gets better when you realize when Obama said he wanted to create more oversight and then put the entire oversight under the NSA's leadership.
What most people don't realize is Obama is as much a republican as Reagan, Nixon, and both Bushes. His policies are in direct line with theirs.
What we need are term limits for congress critters so they can't become as corrupted, and for Congress to start revoking executive powers back out of the executive branch.
We didn't need the cabinets before World War II Why don't we eliminate them?
The last scary thought I shall leave with. What if J Edgar Hoover had the NSA's ability to spy on people?
When you create an fake identity you write down all the fake data with it. I use keepass and several entries not only have the username/password, but the answers to the security questions, DOB, etc that I filled out the information with.
For XYZ site I was born in austin Texas, for another I was born in east bumfuk georgia. if you don't keep track of your lies you will always get screwed over.
Not to be mean but the USA exported some government procurement accountants to Canada. That is why Canada spent $250 million modifying an ice breaker design that they bought the plans for $20 million for a boat most shipyards spend $100 million building.
$640,000 to design it but each sled will cost $3 million and require a $1 million dollars annually for maintence.
By the way thank you for purchasing our exported talent.
I love a good drive in but they are few and far between around my current place.
of course that said I watch more movies ondemand the week after they are released. I pay $4-5 and I get to change which spot I am sitting in during the movie if I want.
Why? this is perfect for CARS. Dishwasher sized will fit into most full size cars right now. creates electricity at low heat, which mean actual practical electric cars.
you change the fuel source to something other than oil.
Even better at 25kw that is enough to run the majority of homes.
While that sucks do remember that is to keep american run airlines in business. No one really realizes just how much protectionism the government does to keep"american capitalism " in business. The USA as a country can't compete as we are so top heavy with managements.
You have no idea how long range telescopic camera lenses actually can see. The "topless" pics of Kate Middleton/cambridge where taken from a half mile away.
Think about it a papparrzi had a lens capable of good shots from half a mile away. What happens when treelines are also no longer an obstacle.
I am not worried about me. But once in use out will be abused.
So sugar doesn't affect the kids. Maybe it is carbonation. American beer has loads of carbonation and causes anger issues. European beer has less carbonation (and more flavour) causes less anger issues.
While you are correct some youth fallacies don't play out in the real world. the simple fact is a lot of people as they age don't like changing their mind or viewpoints on anything. I know one person in particular who doesn't think she is a bigot but will completely judge a person by what they are wearing. If you dress in dirty clothes then you have to be poor. I can't seem to convince her that how you are dressed in that instant is a reflection on your entire life.
Take computers it has literally taken ten years to teach the 40-50 year olds how to use computers in general but the majority of them still struggle with basic things like file or even window Management. Older people are more likely to have one giant window taking up everything and forget they have other windows open behind it.
Younger people need to push the boundaries and a lot of those are fallacies that will fail. But not all of them. and those ones that don't are the ones that matter. If you take longer time away from those who push boundaries and give it to those whose ideas are stagnant nothing good will happen.
First double the amount of time you are wearing adult diapers. As if you slow aging then you are spending longer in that time of your life where you can't wipe your own ass anymore.
Second even more disgustingly you put politicians into office for even longer than now, so that your society stagnates for longer and longer periods of time. New ideas come mostly from young people. As old people are no longer caring about pushing boundaries and exploring beyond. There is a reason most conservatives are adults. they no longer want to change their mind on how things get done.
What we need is a way to slow aging down for 10-20 years and then speed it up afterwards. If your healthy energentic 30's and 40's could last until 65, and then a slow decline until 80ish with most dying off around 90 it would be great.
Then you could work for 30-40 years enjoy your retirement of 10-20 years and slowly fade down.
Overall longevity stays the same. enjoyable life extends farther. I say this with my current 90 year old grandmother who has spent 8 years basically bedridden. She isn't healthy enough to walk but strong enough to stick around. Do you really want to extend that kind of living to 20+ years?
Exactly. I bet there are current yet unheard of planes there still.
A UFO is an unidentified flying object. The average person is an idiot and can't tell the difference between a fly and a bird under certain conditions.
For me a couple of weeks ago I got caught in the middle of a coast guard search and rescue. They were dropping parachute flares for hours bright enough to light up miles and miles if open water. It took us 20 minutes to figure out they were parachute flares and not boats. You couldn't hear the planes unless they were close. It was surreal for a little while as they didn't fall very fast. And sometimes took sharp changes in course.
Last Year I told my old company that I was leaving. I told the new company that I could start in three weeks(I figured two for notice and one to move).
Instead I was told wait in the conference for 2 hours for one of them to drive to the location(we were a satellite branch.) After signing a couple of documents they told me to leave and they would pay the next two weeks as the last of my vacation time.
Well I got three weeks of vacation(I played golf, had fun, partied a few times).
I think you should show your soon to be old employer respect and offer two weeks, just be aware you may not get it.
Paper is far slower than electronic though. I no longer have medical records as they were lost when my old doctor died. Paper is a pain to store. And if you get into an accident at 8pm good luck getting your paper records before noon the next day.
over the last dozen or so administrations each has taken a little more power and then a little more. frequently flouting the law and not caring about conseqnuesnces unless it blows up in their faces, and then they do the absolutely least amount to make it go away.
For obama it is the NSA spying program. Obama wants to add checks and balances by letting the NSA monitor themselves monitoring every citizen without warrant or reason.
Bush said torture was not only legal, but expanded Gitmo to house people who he thought didn't deserve the rule of law.
Clinton, created and pushed through the DCMA.
Bush senoir basically covered his tracks while he was VP.
Reagan sold chemical weapons to Saddam. Who used them.
Carter was just a pussy.
Ford was a fill in
Nixon um watergate anyone
Johnson, Vietnam isn't a war it was never declared as such by Congress. Vietnam was a police action.
Kennedy? well he slept with more women(and better looking ones) than clinton did.
Eisnhowser? probably the last decent president we had. it is too bad no bothered listening to his warnings on military industrial complex taking over.
Truman? he nuked a country twice.(for a good reason Japan would not have go down easily)
Roosevelt? he was the first and only president to be elected 3 times breaking the tradition since Washington of only two terms. and he created the Executive office of the Presidency.
for the same stupid reason why Roku doesn't have access to youtube. Companies don't like working together unless there is an immediate payback with no risk(legal). The Media companies have made this mess themselves. they refuse to provide content in the manner in which people want to watch it.
I don't torrent media. but everything I watch is time shifted. I can't watch it when it airs as it is almost always at an inconvenient time for me.
switch to the old style classical interface. it is only the over feature stuffed web 2.0 version that is a pain to use.
if I login slashdot to me looks like it did 5 years ago. I know instantly when I haven't logged in as it take on the crappy web 2.0 interface that always hangs no matter what browser your using.
Addiction is a habit that has developed a chemical dependancy. Try taking a regular coffee drinker's coffee away from them for a couple of weeks. It is down right scary to watch the withdrawal.
Some have a hard time stopping others enjoy it so much they really don't want to stop. you can break the habit but because of the chemical dependency it is much much harder.
Also Habits are only a choice in the beginning. once they get going you have to choose to stop, to break the habit.
the trick is marketing teams that should know better argue otherwise and say wifi networks can replace everything a wire can do.
At my apartment i can see nearly 2 dozen wifi access points on 2.4 ghz. So I adjusted my router to broadcast b/g on 2.4ghz on an off channel and on 5 ghz I setup an N only system. My older smart phone can't connect to the N router but my laptop and shiny new nexus 7 can. The best part is there are no other 5ghz routers nearby.
Um not all ERP systems easily port over. Not all CRM systems go over.
A business is more than just word and excel. the accounting programs both front and back end have to be moved. Systems that only get updates every 5-10 years.
I can't move over. there isn't a compatible ERP system with our business processes and we don't have the cash to spend a couple of million building a complete custom system that will go over budget and still not work.
Software also has to work for the business. updating business processes cost several times what the software training does.
Then wait until next year for the next better model.
I bought a nook color 2.5 years ago when they first came out. I enjoyed the 7" form factor but I couldn't find a decent replacement. when the new nexus 7's were announced I was happy. I got even happier when amazon and best buy started releasing them for sale 5 days before the official launch.
But I plan on keeping it around for the next 2-3 years and make sure I get my money's worth out of it.

the problem is the VA is the best and most efficient run health organization in this county. the va makes everyone else look like idiots.

Your not thinking correctly. You take a minivan or SUV and park it backwards. Lower all the seats flat and spread out.
you can have people on the ground, etc. you can talk to each other etc.
the big trick is someplaces limit how high up your tailgate can go so your not blocking other peoples view.
Why? this is perfect for CARS. Dishwasher sized will fit into most full size cars right now. creates electricity at low heat, which mean actual practical electric cars.
you change the fuel source to something other than oil.
Even better at 25kw that is enough to run the majority of homes.
you do realize there were very few republicans dissenting against bailing out those companies.
Indeed the bank bail out was designed by republicans before Obama took office and was barely modified afterwards(by either party).
The real trick is the democrats support one type of companies(usually RIAA and their pets) While republicans protect military, and oil companies.
You get to choose which is the lesser of two evils, and remember who wrote up the DCMA.

an AR parrot modified to use longer range radio, and longer lasting battery pack(so a slightly larger version) deployable from the back of news vans.
traffic accident reporting could literally take on a new dimension.
So sugar doesn't affect the kids. Maybe it is carbonation. American beer has loads of carbonation and causes anger issues. European beer has less carbonation (and more flavour) causes less anger issues.
Let's ban carbonated drinks. /sarcasm}
