Representative Jim McGovern, who has led the Democrats' defense of the food stamp program. 'Critics focus almost exclusively on how much we spend, and I wish they understood that if we did this better, we could save a lot more money in health care costs.'
It's clear what he's really talking about hasn't got a thing to do with "saving" anything. One of his alternatives might cost less, but both result in spending, not savings. It's like the old congressional trick of raising taxes less than they wanted, and calling it a "tax cut."
If you send bounces, then you're just contributing to "backscatter spam," where the spammer sends from thousands of different "From:" addresses, and you kindly bounce that email to the intended recipient, with your own "From:" address.
My web host provider allows a catch all to be sent to a black hole.
The author, Gregory Szorc, seems confused about what "support" means. What he appears to be complaining about is "Why do projects continue to require old Python releases?" (e.g. he says "I successfully transitioned Firefox's build system from requiring Python 2.5+ to 2.7.3+)
What does he care if they support older releases, which in no way implies that they won't also work with newer releases. It's the maintainers of those projects who do the work, not him.
The maximum safe speed is not a single number. A skilled driver in a well maintained vehicle can travel faster than an unskilled driver in a vehicle with worn suspension and bald tires.
From what I've read, it may be too quick to gang up on RSA. It sounds like they accepted a payment from the NSA to make Dual_EC_DRBG preferred/default, not to accept a backdoor.
The industry as a whole is responsible for accepting and adopting Dual_EC_DRBG. According to Wikipedia, "Members of the ANSI standard group, to which Dual_EC_DRBG was first submitted, were aware of the exact mechanism of the potential backdoor and how to disable it, but did not take sufficient steps to unconditionally disable the backdoor."
It seems to me that RSA is just being made a scapegoat for an industry failure because they accepted a payment to make it the default (which would be perfectly acceptable if the NSA positioned it as payment to ensure wide acceptance of an improvement over the previous default). I've seen nothing to indicate that RSA knew about or was involved in creating the backdoor, or that it is any more culpable than the rest of the industry for its acceptance as a standard.
The Supremes have also ruled that blacks aren't citizens with rights (Dred Scot), that corporations are (Citizens United), that growing a personal garden is Interstate Commerce (Wickard v Filburn), and that forced transfer of property between private parties is "public use" (Kelo).
The biggest failure of the Constitution is that the Supremes can say that "red is green," and the only remedy is revolution. It's also a matter of the Feds deciding what the Feds can do. Better if it had been some rotating collection of elected State justices who were given the authority to determine Federal powers.
It doesn't mention marriage anywhere, which means the 10th A applies:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Nice stretch, I hope you didn't hurt your groin. Since a patent exists, it won't be the simple "Case dismissed," which was claimed. Invalidating a patent requires significant legal work.
And, the patent has already been successfully licensed to Palm (who at the time was much bigger than a celebrity startup), a strong indicator that others believe it to have some validity.
Screwdrivers don't reproduce with hammers, permanently altering the property of a hammer.
An island is in a rather unique position regarding GMOs. Once they're let in, there's no turning back. Where's the harm in keeping a naturally isolated island free from them, at the very least until the long term science is real?
Unless, of course, you're simply looking for cheaper Kona coffee due to increased yields.

Everyone who goes faster than you is an idiot. Everyone who goes slower is an asshole.

"Most people aren't going to be able to smoke as much as a single plant can produce in a year... why would they ever buy it?"
Same reason people buy vegetables from the store and hamburgers from McDonalds. Convenience.
Are you referring to the (admittedly somewhat common) misspelling of "gallery," or do you not know what a crankcase is?

The first rule of Fight Club...
One would think that a self-proclaimed "gear head" would know the difference between an oil galley [sic] and a crankcase.
whoosh.
This just in... frictionless pucks don't exist either, and collisions in the real world don't perfectly maintain momentum.
"A door" != "ajar"
So, the solution is "one size fits all," or maybe "our way, or not the highway." I'm not buying it.

It's not a compelling argument against the claim of "no patent?" You're the fool.
The USPTO disagrees.
"Geostationary" doesn't mean what you think it means.

If there's no clemency for Snowden, there should be no clemency for Clapper. Perjury is a felony.
"david lee roth pretending to be a pretentious douche"
That would be like a duck pretending to be a duck.
The NSA has already shown a willingness to lie to Congress, what does he expect? They're an equal opportunity usurper.
