How about paying attention to actual reality of the US political system rather than interpretations of other peoples beliefs. Obama is part of the executive portion of government those that administrate the laws provided them.
So the question is whether he would use the power of veto 'IF' and only 'IF' two thirds did not already vote yes for legalisation. So no approval really required, just disapproval.
Of course the major criminal drug dealers, the pharmaceuticals (hoping to patent the natural drugs with artificial variants), the CIA (still wanting to use it to generate off balance sheet income to pay for off balance sheet expenditures), the anti-drug agencies (marijuana arrests are easier and keep their performance numbers up ie throwing people in prison and destroying their lives in order to save them WTF), the whole alcohol industry and perversely the financial institutions doing the illegal laundering of drug money which keeps actual cash flowing in the industry (rather than just credit).
So against that horde of greedy psychopathic ass hats, the religionists hardly count (they did originally but that was more than half a century ago), not that they won't be an excuse for corrupt pseudo Christian politicians (according to their religion their inspiration comes from the other place).
The mind boggles as to why people would voluntarily take pictures of the sky so that M$ could insert fake sky writing in them.
Unless, of course, you mean the US patent office, oh my god, has patented purposeful and with intent to profit copyright infringement, the illegal alteration of someone's copyrighted photograph and the insertion of advertising in that image that will destroy the original intent of that private image. So an invasion of privacy in accessing the private data of a phones stored images, an illegal copyright infringing copy of that image being made so that it can be altered, the illegal infringement of copyright in altering that image, the fraudulent misrepresentation that the user wanted to incorporate the fake sky writing in that image.
So basically some dick who want's their advertising to appear in a particular section of sky, takes a photo of that section of sky and pays a service to commit a string of crimes so that "a plurality of users" get stuck with that fake sky writing if they take a photo with that particular section of sky in it. So yeah, reading the actual patent, pretty Evil.
The big fraud here is claiming identity theft is a crime. This has always been a lie spread by credit card companies, you do not steal someone's identity they are not the victim, you defraud the sellers into believing you are someone else and based upon that they supply you product.
The seller who supplied the fraudster product is now guilty of the crime of defrauding the person's whose credit the seller has abused and the seller must now prove by burden of proof that they were tricked into applying an illegal charge against the innocent victim.
The credit card companies, have illegally and via corruption with government and government agencies (shit eating lobbyists at work here as well as PR=B$ agencies) pushed the burden of proving a crime was committed against their own customers, the end user, you. Your identity was not stolen, the only time that happens is when someone assumes your place in society and you have been eliminated, repeat after me, a credit provider was defrauded and applied an illegal charge (they committed a crime) against a third party, the basis of the charge, the failure of the credit provider to properly authenticate the identity of the customer.
If you are a victim of the lie of identity theft, not only are you entitled to your money back and the rebuilding of your credit rating and reputation but, also damages against those credit providers that failed in their duty of authenticating the identity of the person they provided credit.
Let's see. Does Apple engineer CPU's? Does Apple engineer Memory? Does Apple Engineer GPU's. Does Apple Engineer capacitors et al. Does Apple engineer hard drives. Does Apple engineer optical drives. Does Appple engineer sound chips? Does Apple engineer network chips. Does Apple engineer connectors.
It would seem Apple doesn't engineer very much at all, beyond badge engineering and assembly briefs for other companies. I know you mean Apple's marketing engineering and fabricating consumer gullibility.
What exactly does Apple make? They don't make phones, they don't make music players, they don't make desktops, they don't make laptops, they don't make tablets, hell they don't even makes the badges that get stuck on those music players, phones, desktops, laptops and, tablets.
Why does everyone keep playing along with the marketing bullshit game of claiming companies make something, when all they do is pay other companies to make those products, paint a logo on it and pretend somebody else made it.
Apple make TVs not a chance in hell. At the end of the day the ODM (other device manufacturers) will simply kick all the badge buying middle men out of the market and start selling direct to the customer, they will make more money and the customer will spend a whole lot less.
That is of course the real issue POTS can run on 64kbps and video call likes at least 1500kbps. Now couple with the self serving greed of incumbent telecoms and of course they want to charge at least 20 times as much for a video call versus a voice call, how of course that just doesn't fly.
So it is all about squeezing out the maximum profit possible out of the bandwidth available even if 9/10s of the bandwidth goes dark. Greed is the master and squeezing out 20 odd voice calls in the same bandwidth as a video call is all the incumbent telecoms can see.
People will make video calls when it is readily accessible, the phones that can do it are cheap and, most importantly the bandwidth is cheaply available (actually usable bandwidth no data caps). Anybody who claims otherwise is either an incumbent telecom troll or somebody that walks around with a bag on their head, maybe even a unisex burka.

Now all you have to do is solve the screen real estate, colour, resolution, memory abstraction and you home and hosed. Of course you have to forget those pesky mobile phones as well.
Reality is what you are after is an IDE that you code in one language and architecture and it writes the code for the other architecture and language types that you want to use. So a big bloaty IDE rather than M$ typical solution bloated clunky OS with half arsed solutions and a whole lot of promise with only random temporary delivery.
When it comes to innovation, the real push is to be able to compile software engineering concepts and terminology, into tweak able code and then into variable architecture machine language. Converting software engineering into executable code is really a job that computers were designed to do, solving that patentable software interface that takes human specific language and terminology and translates that into editable code prior to compilation, is the real trick. Really does require a new coding language that suits that translation and post pass readability and adjustment.
This one sounds like the US has no real interest at all in the case, they are just trying to lower the bar for extradition cases, with the aim of targeting other people.
This guy is just seems to be a victim of a political game, with the intention of making it easier to extradite other people currently in the UK for the crime of handling intellectual property that the US does not want them to.
So will the British government and the British people just role over and become another third world country when it comes to providing the citizens justice against politically motivated chargers by the US government.
The way to keep housing prices down is careful regulation and targeted taxation. Obviously you want to keep investors out of the typical residential housing market and lock investors into medium and high density accommodation.
Own more than one house and simply pay double local government taxation rates on investment properties (houses being single family low density dwellings). Foreign investors should be completely locked out of the market unless they are a permanent resident and the house is their place of residence.
High ownership ratio housing neighbourhoods are far better places to live as people have their own investment at risk and it's value defined by their behaviour in that residence. Other people's greed is no excuse for their running down an neighbourhood with rental properties, unless that neighbourhood is a medium or high density residential neighbourhood.
The riots in this case were bored children of privilege. Want an end to sporting riots make the sporting stadium liable for costs, they profit by offering that entertainment to their audience, they should cover the full costs resulting. Their crowd, their problem and not their neighbours problem.
M$ had not the slightest qualm when it dropped all their M$ Office built in macro languages that corporations and governments had invested huge sums in, to favour visual basic for applications. The idea was to try to get force visual basic to become the default monopoly programming language.
So a further push into the web with visual basic via.Net but it again failed to force a monopoly on Bill Gates borg programming language.
So now, embrace, extend and extinguish javascript in another attempt to push visual basic as a monopoly programming language. This myopic focus on visual basic, must have some weird thing to do with Ballmer convincing Gates he should be still left in control.
Of course there are billions of dollars in privatised computer security profits with each and every 'False Flag' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag. Just look at how successful a couple of envelopes of anthrax was in generating not only new profit potential but in wholesale major changes to the law.
Question, what is the difference between a 'Anonymous' attack and a false flag 'Anonymous' attack. Answer, none, they were both done in the name of 'Anonymous' and as everyone is a member of 'Anonymous' (only choosing whether or not to carry out attacks in it's name), by definition it is an 'Anonymous' attack.
So false flagging could be seen as a successful subversion of the security apparatus into carrying out attacks.
So the real question is, what software can I use, so that I can pretend to be a web page designer without knowing all that messy stuff like html, css, xml and javascript/perl/php or even that weird server side stuff.
Answer, then reason all those graphical web page designer software falls over is basically because it is crap. People expect to be able to design web pages like all those professional on the web, rather than clunking amateurish single fixed page documents and are unhappy when they can't.
You can not in reality trade bitcoins for currency (countries reserve/federal banks what have to accept bitcoins for that to be true), what you trade is a belief in bitcoins.
Believe in the bitcoin, believe it has value, believe it is worth something, pray to the bitcoin God that you aren't throwing away real money on a marketing illusion and pyramid schemes are all about Pharaohs living for ever.
Let's be honest, first rule of business kill the middle man, unless of course you're the middle man, in which case bullshit remains supreme.
From the consumer standpoint, getting as close as possible to the manufacturer saves a lot of empty pointless profit margins. From the manufacturers standpoint getting as close as possible to the consumer saves a lot of pointless on costs.
Of course Samsung can cripple Apple by attacking it's supply chain and tying it up in court. After all Apple is not Samsung's competitor, Apple's supply chain is Samsung's competitor. Of course Apple's supply chain also has to consider whether Apple is a burden or a benefit on profits (doing a whole lot of turnover with crap margins can get pretty pointless after a while).
Apple is pretty vulnerable to it's supply chain, they simply have to bugger around with supplies to make Apple look really bad to it's customers and make those customers much more accessible.
Firstly of course there are people with phobias, a whole range of phobias, that many people are aware and know full well a whole range of images will disturb them. Secondly there is the principle of push versus pull, of people seeking that content or of that content being forced upon them.
When you post an image on-line in by far the majority of case no one will see it unless they make an effort to do so. They actively use their connection to the internet to seek the image, send a request to obtain the image and are then offended by actually getting to see what they requested to see. Especially considered the tens of billions of web pages and the effort required to find the one to be offended by it.
Politicians come and go. They should always be challenged upon every decision they make, they need not be respected nor adored, in fact it is normal that a significant portion of the population dislike them, anything else stinks of corruption and grossly biased media.
What needs to be challenged in this case is an out of control bureaucracy, a willingness amongst it's members to pervert the course of law to feed their own ego and chances of promotion. The distortion is reflected in the change from policing to law enforcement, where policing forces those meant to assist the public in upholding the law, now feel entitled to use force against the public to inflict their own personal view of the law.
Torture is the norm, whether it be chemical weapons or electric shock, to enforce the ego of law enforcement members. Likewise the legal system is abused, with those who are meant to seek justice now abusing it to feed their own personal goals.
Who is at fault the politicians or the electorate, those ignorant idiots that cheered along the war on drugs(actually a violent assault upon drug users), those that supported crap like environmental terrorists (not the polluters mind you but the people trying to prevent the pollution), that approved restrictive compounds and permits for protesters (utterly pointless protests and those citizens treated like disobedient children in a protest play pen), and routine violent assaults upon protesters with virtually zero justice (complete and total abandonment of the legal principles of minimum force) and of course using the courts as a penalty a pre-emptive fine of ten of thousands of dollars used with criminal intent and extortion as it's base motivation.
Silverfish got mothballed, now that's a joke. Obviously M$ where not able to extend embrace and extinguish with it so they are dropping it. It is not the first time they have done it with a product and it wont be the last. Don't say you weren't warned each and every time an article about silverfish got on slashdot.
Whilst it is true that Kazakhstan has a mock democracy, it is still a stable one. A suck and see approach is most likely appropriate in this case, so it seems rather petty or at the very least cowardly. That is of course if you can tolerate the endemic corruption of government services.
All of the resources of a country are owned by all of it's citizens equally. Control of some of those resources is privatised under conditions applied by those citizens. Don't want to adhere to those conditions, then privatised control of parts of the countries resources will be taken from you.
Wake up to yourself, all of a countries citizens provide the means by which those resources are protected, become available for use, are distributed and rewards provided for serving those resources. If you can't work with the rest of human society, due to genetic defects like psychopathy and narcissism, it is you that needs to be isolated from privatised control of parts of a countries resources and not a requirement that the majority of citizens need to adjust to your insane demands.
Those requirements the set limits upon how citizens use their own bodies (you can not run up to random individuals and scream in their face or cover their mouths to prevent them from speaking) also apply to the tools and by extension major works of infrastructure (you have no right to substitute your content for theirs or to censor their content).
Well is M$ doing this for publicity or are they serious. The reality is if they were really serious they would simply pay the bribes required to get things done. So the interesting part is how much effort is required to pursue criminals within Russia when they are committing crimes across international boundaries.
Is it really acceptable that companies need to pursue these matters in such a circuitous manner or should more pressure be placed upon the country hosting the criminal enterprise to pursue a just resolution.
It seems a reasonable and logical request. The country has a domain as a resource and is seeking to use that resource to benefit it's people. What do they lose if you refuse basically that nothing annual domain name payment.
Now what do they gain if you say yes. A office that provides employment a server farm that uses resources and provides expertise as well as further employment. Is that fair, well google is sucking income out of the country so it seems pretty reasonable.
Personally I think google is being rather petty but it really depends upon what demands are made by the Kazakhstan when it comes to running a server, search engine, email etc. Personally I don't see any problem with all countries demanding that country specific domains be server in their country, don't like it don't use the country specific domain, use the international one.
You find non-commission company representatives in the wholesale or to the 'trade', where sales per customer is measure in annual revenue per customer. Bugger up a customer with lies on one sales could and will lose you years of sales revenue. So bonuses on annual revenue for the representatives customers, regardless of how those customers sales get placed.
It all looks really rather odd. I assume the video is nowhere near real time as the matter appeared to move huge distance in a very short amount of time. As it takes light approximately 4.5 seconds to cross the sun and you would expect any explosion with subsequent ejection and return of matter to be considerably slower than that. It really does look altogether odd and abnormal. Some further clarification of the amount of time the event took would be really informative.
What are you some kind of racist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosuo_women. There you go a matriarchal society where all the males remain with the mothers, aunts, sisters and nieces through out their lives. Zero divorce and no child support.
Hmm, are you a slave to your relationship, just jealousy force you to slander other lifestyles and, does the shame and humiliation of your extended bathroom visits haunt you.
