Actually a savvy group in the US with 10% can totally dominate everyone.
That's the sad thing. And it isn't contrary to 10% not getting heard at all. 10% dedicated crazies is enough to take over a party (especially with open primaries) and dominate that party to an extent where no-one wants to oppose them. If the 10% were elected directly, they would either have to form a coalition and make compromises or stand in the back and shout.
President has to be picked by half the country (or a bit less). We can rant and rave all we want that their priorities are wrong, but all that gets us is the joy of ranting and raving.
Yes, but if a minority cares very strongly about specific issues, in any other country they would form their own party. And if that party only gets 10% or so, it would have a seat in parliament ( or house or agora, whatever it's called in the US Republic) and be able to have some influence. In the US you could have a 1/3 off all votes and not get a single seat.
Old Bathroom cabinets (1950s) have a slit to dispose of razor blades by throwing them down the wall.
While this was o.k. to do in the 1950s, the inside walls of your house slowly filling up with razor blades will degrade the wireless signal. To make matters worse, blades were specifically designed to be lambda/4 of 2.4Ghz. Two touching razor blades that are sufficiently dirty and corroded will create a simple crystal receiver and rebroadcast your wireless signal with a random frequency shift. (The original intention of course was to disrupt Russian radar.)
To make matters worse, having two or more bathrooms might create a phase shifting device that could concentrate your and your neighbors' microwave radiation at random spots in your house or yard. My only advice is, never to stay at one spot too long, as this has been linked to spontaneous human combustion./p
In Openoffice, I once tried some weird footnote stuff (required by a publisher). It would work in MS-Office but not in Openoffice. So, I tried the support list and described the problem. Answer 1: Explaining to me what footnotes and endnotes are. -After me explaining the problem again, answer 2 from someone at Sun: Nobody needs that.
So, for now I still run Openoffice at home, just because it is installed. And once both projects are past the clean-up stage, I'll pick whoever has a culture that doesn't resemble the old Openoffice.
If in high school guys were taught how to detect breast cancer, the detection rate would probably be quicker than even these bras. No joke. Everyone wants to protect the things they love;-;
Because women don't have hands?
If you want to practice your love with women all over this country, you should become an ObGyn.
What if I download my email (i.e read it) and also create on online backup by means of a backup program called an email filter, which removes my email from the cloud server's inbox but stores a backup copy on said server's system in a separate imap-folder I specifically created for backup purposes?
As long as I have my email copied to another folder called Inbox.bak,Cloudstorage or Secret_Anti-government_Correspondence I should still be safe then?
Which is fine, till you lose access, or get kicked out. Come to think of it, wasn't there a previous incident involving an apple and a walled garden? I think it even involved a Steve Jobs like figure.
Your email to sheila@hotgirls.com might get to one person if you are in the USA but someone entirely different in Europe if the web is fragmented.
It wouldn't be the end of the world. In the US it will go to sheila@hotgirls.com.us and in Italy to sheila@hotgirls.com.it (or sheila@hotgirls.com.eu if they can get their act together), with sheila@hotgirls.com being nothing more than a (local) shortcut that refers to whatever country your in. Kind of like leaving off the domainname on intranet.
But since none of the Sheilas will be female, it doesn't really matter.
Modding someone down because you disagree is abuse, modding someone down because their post will derail the conversation is correct
Hard to distinguish the two.
On any given topic someone will add that with[out] this common mistake | with[out] [ a strong central government | a belief in the man in the sky |/. editors not doing their job | Microsoft] we'd all be happier and that anyone not seeing this is just a moron [and doesn't see that correlation doesn't cause Occam to shave].
Before you form a (very obviously) uninformed opinion, perhaps you should try to listed for two weeks straight.
Why don't you try to read Das Kapital for two weeks straight? It's not enough time to form a reasoned opinion, one only needs an hour or so for that. But it is enough time to warp your sense of reality.
But Das Kapital actually makes sense. At least the beginning part about capitalism: that it needs constant growth and new markets and will eventually lead to globalization. Pretty good analysis for the 1800s. And if you gave just that excerpt to people, they certainly wouldn't guess that they're reading old Charlie Marx. Ronald Reagan perhaps, except that it is too well written.

What the hell were US immigration officials doing in Canada, if I may ask?
ehh, all the other states have immigration officials on major airports, why should Canada be any different?
Or a few feet of ground.
So an earth-dome might be shielded enough. Which means the US can't defend itself against hippies.
And a cave would definitely be safe. But what terrorist would live in a cave?!

I am a HUGE Star Trek nerd, but I always got grossed out when that dude's dad cut his hand off at the end of the second movie.
That must be you then.
1. Chicago Hackerspace will buy one of these wooden Laser cutters.
2. A Cow will accidentally turn on the Laser cutter.
4. Lots of real estate opportunities.

I was hoping for two metal tracks down the middle of the road.
Most of them are campy but not ridiculous. Quantal? Really?
I am more disappointed about Raring Ringtail when they could have gone with Randy Racoon

I blame Neil Degrasse Tyson for all this.
I used to like the guy till he bit someone's ear off.
They could run the data over your skin, but MS has a patent on that.
So FSF is going to buy MSOffice in bulk and resell it with a markup as Libreoffice Premium edition?

Apple is the only one with a walled garden.

Put more fuel or less cargo in the lead aircraft.
Or safe even more by having a large semi in front.
Now, why would I do that?
I was thinking of Weird Science where they create the perfect woman by feeding pictures to their home computer.
( Movie Clip)
OK. I just showed my computer a picture of a Komodo Dragon. It just is sitting there, doing nothing.
Now what am I supposed to do?
Are you wearing a bra on your head?
Hitler is a fixed point in time and thus cannot be killed.
Yes and no. You actually can Kill Hitler

Another Chinese mega-corp, exploiting cheap labour conditions in a distressed 3rd world economy.
Well, it is a "right-to-work" state.
But with Lenovo at least the workers will have some kind of safety net.
Literally.

.. on parole?
.. after it escaped?
.. as opposed to "in"? It definitely isn't in.
