You really should not use O'Hare as an example. I have bad luck flying through there domestically as well as internationally for years. I am a U.S. citizen. Queues, lost seats, lost luggage, etc. are just some of what I have experienced. You can probably find numerous Top 10 Bad Airports and it will be on the list.
I had to queue in Hokkaido for an hour and a half last year. Does that make Japan an inhospitable place to visit too? BTW, an hour and a half in a queue at O'Hare is probably record time.;)
With all that said, I do not care for all the non-security screenings. Social media screening of a phone? Oh, please! If they are going to do something really bad, they *probably* did not say anything on social media.
To all those saying it is because of Trump, they are wrong. It gets crazier year after year regardless of the president in charge.
Cyrus IMAP works well for me. Setup was not particularly easy, but once I got past that, it has been solid. This is for my personal domain, so I cannot speak of larger installations.
Somehow, I doubt Carnegie Mellon had an issue with finding someone that knows Cyrus well.;)
If they did not take into account state taxes, they also skipped city, township and county taxes. Sales tax can come from state, city and county, I think.
Gas taxis 18.4/gallon at the federal level, so it should be already in there, right? I am not sure. Anyway, state and city can add their own gas taxes.
Does the UK's VAT replace the income tax there or do both exist?
A more thorough report would be nice regardless of whether the U.S. is higher or lower on the chart.
A report for value obtained by those taxes would also be nice. However, that can be highly subjective.
Exactly my thoughts. Ignoring a lot of different tax avenues that governments utilize is one deficiency in the report. The other is the value provided. Ignoring whether the country should or should not provide services (i.e., healthcare), what the country does provide as part of taxation(s) should also be accounted. Well, I guess that could go into a separate report.
Also, what about evaluating the individual states of the United States? The European Union countries were rated individually while the United States was rated as a whole. I am ignorant on how tight the EU is, so evaluating them individually may be appropriate.
I also run Firefox mobile and desktop (FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, Mac, Android). It runs quite well on all of them. Chrome starts just about as quickly as Firefox for me when using about the same number of extensions.
BTW, have you gotten uBlock Origin to work with Chrome mobile yet?;)
I get a bad feeling for the transfer just from the list of supporters: Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon, Cloudflare and Yahoo. It feels, to me, that they are not doing it for freedom but rather for money. They are going to have services or other means of making money off the transfer where they cannot do it currently.
The problem is the Congressmen trying to block the changeover aren't doing so in the interests of online freedom, but rather in the interests of maintaining control over the internet. Either way it's all about power.
Oh, yes! I concur. However, this comes to mind: Better the devil you know.;) We would switch from one government in power to multiple governments, corporations and trade organizations in power. It is already hard enough to protect people as it stands now. After the switch, it would be much harder.

However, this is just a feeling. I would like to understand it better for why they want it. Time to read since the article is scant on details.
I just switched from Verizon to Google Fi. Verizon is still more expensive if that is the same plan I had (Unlimited Talk & Text & 1GB) since that price does not include the $20 charge for the account (or phone?). Anyway, I was paying close to $58/mo for 1GB on Verizon while I was not even using 100MB/mo there. If I had stayed, the change would have added $5/mo to my expenses with no benefit.
I drive on the roads but have not had the opportunity to use The Roads. If I visit there, I could use the roads of The Roads to explore the area.
Do you live on the Earth or the earth? Personally, I live on both. Technically, I live on the Earth and on top of the earth while relying on food grown from earth on the Earth.:)
I have used internets that are part of the Internet.
Slashdot has become a war zone. I do not mind heated disagreement, but there are many people that want you to conform to one side or the other even if you are on a third or fourth side.:)
I glance at Slashdot at times and sometimes go to OSNews to stay geeky with limited messages to read. My Slashdot ID is only as high as it is because I took forever before making it.
Right, so that's the best Fox could dig up? Email from before she was in office? Before her duty to keep all the emails!
You mean Reuters. The only involvement I could see in the article by Fox was a poll.
People need to stop frothing at the mouth at the mention of Fox. Even some of the articles on their site are not from them; they are from other sources such as Associated Press.
My XFX PVT80GGHD4 8800GTS 320MB is still working quite well on FreeBSD. I bought it almost eight years ago for $300.
My next system will have an Nvidia due to the quality of their drivers on FreeBSD and Windows. I have a laptop with an ATI card in it, but I had to wait a long time for it to be supported on FreeBSD. Pragmatically, I will have to stick with Nvidia unless something changes regarding drivers. On the bright side, I like the hardware and drivers, so it is good with me.
Out of curiosity, what is the cost for malpractice insurance in Canada? The doctors may actually net more there. Sadly, the giant ACA had nothing, as far as I know, to reduce that cost to doctors which only gets passed to us.
I understand that he may not understand everything, but a lot of what is in his list is frivolous. Here is another NSF-funded robotics research "project": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hwBOBeDFHw If they want to play, then they can do it on the universities' dimes. The universities certainly charge enough to pay for this.
It depends on what is meant by duplication. If two groups are researching the same thing using the same means regarding the same factors, then that is doing something in parallel. I can see that as a (possible) waste of money that could be used to research something else concurrently. Only slight related, when it is different agencies funding the same party, then you have fraud: http://www.nature.com/news/duplicate-grant-case-puts-funders-under-pressure-1.9984
Replication is different and would not fall under duplication as it is done serially. First, one group does research into the topic followed by a separate group that tries to reproduce the results. Trying to replicate the results at the same time as another group that is unfinished with their research is potentially wasteful.
If the results are useful, then I am sure some entity will try to reproduce it without government funding. If the project was politically-motivated, then I am almost certain another party will fund research into that topic without need for government funding.
Personally, I wish the news would do a little research into past projects that were duplicated to either prove or disprove the issue with duplication. They just want a fight between the two parties to get more readers. I guess this was too hard for them to find: http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?a=Files.serve&File_id=2dccf06d-65fe-4087-b58d-b43ff68987fa Page 20 talks about duplication between the various agencies. Skimming through that report really makes me want to have the NSF cleaned. For example, "An Indiana University (IU) professor received a $263,281 grant from the NSF to study the social impact of tourism in the country of Norway." Funding that over cancer research?!?

I never had one but did have a VIC-20.

I think this cartoon illustrates[1] why the ban is not a Muslim ban. If it was, the list would be much larger. http://michaelpramirez.com/upl...
My wife's first thought when the ban was made was, "If it is a Muslim ban, why is Indonesia not on the list?"
1. Yes, I had to make a pun. :)

I think what he did was endearing. The talk about women in the lab was a reference to his wife whom he met while she worked in a lab.

The stakes are stellar.
He probably meant SDL v1.2 which was licensed under the LGPL.
Thank you. That is interesting. I did find something similar for New York (2007) that varied quite a bit depending upon location. https://www.univerahealthcare.com/download/files/med_malpractice_premiums.pdf
