Seeing as how I don't remember using any GNU software on my KayPro IV, or hearing of Unix-centric s/w able to be installed on 8-bit system, no matter the brand or whether CCP was replaced by ZCPR, that comment needs a lot of clarifying.
I thought DAs dealt with criminal prosecutions, not civil matters.
Huh, so it does.
Does a District Attorney act as general counsel?
My state's Attorney General issues opinions to the state Executive and Legislature on both civil and criminal matters, so I assumed -- shame on me -- that local DAs did the same for their levels of government.
And the Mayor *should* have asked the DA for an opinion.
If this is true, what possible reason is there to ever publish anything new?
That's a logical fallacy, because innovative stories can be quality writing, and they can be turgid dreck. Just as "white male heroes save the universe and get the hot green babe" stories can be quality writing, and they can be boring dreck.
I, fr one, would rather pay $20/gallon of gas during a power outage
I, for one, am prepared for power outages.
What did YOU do during Katrina?
Watched the NOAA website, and had some foresight, you ignorant fucking blowhard.
Saw that it was coming, insisted that the wife+kids pack up the valuables -- documents, photos, little bitty computer -- in the minivan, stuffed as much gasoline, water & non-perishable food as possible in the remaining space (Dodge minivans are surprisingly spacious), and... evacuated.
Or Rita?
Wrong storm.
Oh right, fucking nothing.
Know-nothing shitheads need to keep their god damned mouths shut until the find a fucking clue.
some MRAs got butthurt because the Hugo awards were too diverse in their eyes
You don't deserve a Hugo just because you're tri-racial, transgendered and write about the feelings of Amazon warriors. Life doesn't work that way.
IOW, diversity in and of itself does not == The Greatest Good.
Quoting George RR Martin: "Can't the trophy go to the guy who sells 5,000 copies but is doing something innovative?"
WTF does innovation have to do with *quality*? Answer: nothing.
The best quote in the article is, "Just because you have an MFA and write a story, you may win a Hugo, but don't kid yourself: Everybody's had a dream, but they didn't write it because they knew it wouldn't sell. Some of this stuff is unreadable."
Surge pricing is Good, but there are also valid laws against Price Gouging during and before an emergency.
Uber just needs to pay attention and modify it's surge pricing accordingly, so as not to cross the line between "economic incentive to work instead of fleeing with your family" and "gouging during that emergency".
Said those against interracial marriage in the early 60s.
(I knew that someone was going to say that...)
Anti-miscegenationists never changed the definition away from between one man and one woman. Wanting to keep keep the races separate, they restricted the right to marry who you want, but that's not the same as changing the definition of marriage.
It was a source of great embarrassment at the time that US aviation didn't have the aerodynamic expertise to build a supersonic passenger plane.
To build an SST or build an economical SST?
Even towards the end of its career it made money
How much were the tickets, though? Less than a First Class seat on a 747? (Maybe, but I seriously doubt it.)
And did it make money only because Britain/France had finally written of R&D costs?
Concorde really was a long, long, long, long, long, long way ahead in what was achieved.
Then why didn't they ever build a quieter, more fuel-efficient follow-on? If the sonic boom really wasn't all that big of a deal, then enough money could have gotten the regulations changed.
If Concorde could have got on a larger number of routes then it would have been easily economically viable.
No one has ever shown me anything to make me believe this assertion.
in some cases worth more than the cost.
There just aren't enough people who need to get from London to NYC or from NYC to LA to justify the exponential increase in fuel consumption. Wi-Fi, the Internet and fax machines (yes, even today) greatly shrink that already small pool even further. Not enough to sustain a large fleet of expensive Concordes.

Interesting. Thank.
You think that modern GNU utils could fit in 64KB? :)
you can get a CP/M clone under the GNU license.
That's not even close to the same as using GNU stuff under CP/M.
gnu stuff ... under CP/M

which specifically excludes religious law.
So now polyamory is "up for grabs", too. After all, consenting adults need to be able to show their love for each other...
hopes that their pilot project will be fully functional by October of this year
Come back when it's *actually* generating electricity for 10 homes, and is cheaper than diesel.

But then again they are just salaried government employees, so why do they care?
Fixed that for you.
But actually, the District Attorney is an elected official.
A Democrat, and in 2005, Inglewood was ranked as the 7th most liberal city in the nation.
Why the First Amendment, of course.
Eh? That needs explaining.
You don't get to call upon state's power without being subject to its checks and balances.
The state's power to do what? Tell people that they can't willy nilly change the meanings of words?
You have a 400+ gallon tank of gas that you keep topped up with fresh gas?
Did you write this, or someone else?
If this is true, what possible reason is there to ever publish anything new?
That's a logical fallacy, because innovative stories can be quality writing, and they can be turgid dreck. Just as "white male heroes save the universe and get the hot green babe" stories can be quality writing, and they can be boring dreck.
IOW, innovativeness is orthogonal to quality.

If humans with our puny brains can't see that it still saves more money on average as it is, average it out just a little bit.
You expect *way* too much from humans. Way, way, way too much.

What gives you the right to extend the definition of marriage?
Except that they're still making money hand over fist.
What more do you want?
What a stupid question. I want them to finish it, naturally, instead of piddling around with all this extraneous shit.
Look at what balmer did to microsoft.
Make them earn money hand over fist???
If Mozilla wants their browser share to increase, deprecate the god damned single-threaded engine!!!!
My typing teacher (back in 1980) found a one-handed method, where you put your fingers on f, g, h & j.
you insensitive clod!!
the Concorde supercruised at Mach 2
Huh. So it did...
