So, this doesn't sound binding, nor explicit. If the statement was "state laws restricting interstate commerce are unconstitutional, and anyone enforcing those laws will be taken to court by the US government" then it might mean something, but "we think its bad policy" means nothing. Socks with sandals is bad policy, but that doesn't mean the FTC will do anything about it.
Citation of what? That my opinion is my opinion? That makes you an idiot. "personal communication April 25, 2014" There, properly cited. What does a proper cite change?
Ah yes, the cop "assholes deserve to be physically assaulted" excuse. Why are you equating "asshole" with "dangerous"?
There are lots of people with warrants out that don't know it. My "proof" of that is the number of sites that do public record searches so you can see if you are "wanted". If wanted people were better informed, there wouldn't be a problem. But the only "notification" of a warrant is a sheriff knocking on your door and arresting you if you answer. Taking phone numbers, addresses, and sending out more warnings and notices would work much better. As it stands, most felony arrests are made from incidental contact with police (usually traffic stops, but statistics aren't clear how many of those are "innocent" passengers, and how many "illegal" drivers.
And yes, getting a traffic ticket and not following up properly can get you sent to jail. Yes, a $100 ticket can land you in jail and $2000+ in fines. And you'll never be notified of anything. The system assumes you know what to do to follow up properly, and heavily punishes you if you don't.
Helium has a lot more uses that you seem to understand. Particularly as a superconductor (not a coolant).
Cold superconductors are often just at the boiling temperature of He, so liquid He is the best way to regulate temperature for "old" cold superconductors. It is not a superconductor, but is currently is used for many (nearly all?) commercial superconducting equipment.
I fully understand the uses and needs for it, as I explicitly said "coolant" just because I figured someone would come up with the complaint you had, though I didn't expect them (you) to correct so incorrectly. Someone else already pointed out links that indicate your error. We already have superconductors that work in liquid N, so no need for He fo MRIs, maybe just for "cheap" ones.
Hydro, wind, and chemical (all used long before industrialization, windmills, water wheels, wood fires). And once you make a panel, you use it to make more.
Seems pretty obvious. Fire was the first means of harnessing solar panel, why have you forgotten it? Mills using water and wind have been around for 2000+ years. We still have hydro and wind, just generating electrical power, rather than being used directly for mechanical advantage.
We have lots of "usable" energy all around. I don't understand how someone can care about a subject so much to comment on it, but so obviously oblivious of it.
The advertisers aren't paying for your eyeballs when you buy the content from Aereo.
Yes, they are. The advertisers pay for it to be seen (whether live or time delayed).
I'm the aggressive one here?
Yes.
You called me a liar who is incapable of reading what you wrote, after I quoted you saying it, and I'm aggressive?
Yes
I asked you if you intended to say what your words actually mean, you blow up in a rage, and I am the aggressive one?
Yes. You incorrectly re-stated what I said. Indicating that you are a complete idiot incapable of reading, or a jackass willing to lie to "win" an argument. You've kept proving yourself to be the asshole I assume after your first asshole-post.
When the concepts:
What Aereo is doing should be legal
What Aereo is doing is like being a pimp.
appear together in an argument, you would have to be pretty dense not to think that the resulting "being a pimp should be legal" is the intended meaning.
Interesting. I'll apologize if you can quote where in this thread I stated "what Aereo is doing should be legal."
If you can't (and no, arguments made in other threads to other people don't count), then you are lying about lying, and I'm done. So, which is it, you get an apology, or you admit being a liar? The latter will never happen, even when proven, so I'm not sure where you expect your lies to go.
You can scroll up this thread and read my words. I implied the actions against Aereo are dumb, but didn't comment on the legality of them, which is what you stated I said. I didn't. I am reading the thread right now.
Why are you lying about what I said when any idiot can read the thread and see you are lying? I honestly don't understand the Internet Fucktard Syndrome where someone continues to insist that their lies trump reality, even when proven wrong. I'd love to have a fucktard explain it to me. Or are you going to ignore any logical points I made, and focus on my rudeness for calling you a liar for lying? You can stop that you know. Stop lying.
Helium is "manufactured" by radioactive decay underground. Also, He is unnecessary for life. You only need it if you want a funny voice, or poor lift from something less flammable than H. Aside from some uses as a coolant, we wouldn't lose much if there was no He left.
Ours is not one of the early-generation stars, but life as we know it requires some trace heavy metals, so complex organism require later generation stars (so that the older stars can generate heavy elements and nova them out). So we are a young system, but could be the oldest capable of life as we know it.
We haven't created or destroyed any elements. We just use them, or modify the chemicals they are in. If we need them (and have dug them all up), we can't mine them from the ground, but we can mine them from the landfills and buildings, like some are doing with copper now. Materials are more easy, not less easy.
Floppy reading is a destructive process. In a healthy disk, the disk will not be damaged by it. But you could have a disk with the information on it, but not durable enough to be read with a standard disk drive.
Where did you get that silly idea? Of course not. Advertisers are paying for your eyeballs, you aren't paying a cent (directly) for the content on OTA. But don't let that confuse you, someone is paying for it, just not Aereo who wants to make a profit from it.
So if the advertisers pay for my eyeballs, and my eyeballs are buffered by Aereo, then Aereo is doing something wrong? They aren't interfering with the delivery of eyeballs, and in fact facilitate more eyes on the ads than if the service didn't exist. So your objection doesn't make any sense.
I'm sorry, what "state mandated monopoly" do you think exists?
If you don't know the basics of the topic at hand, why are you commenting, let alone lecturing others?
So you think pimping should be legal?
Oh, you are just a liar. Never mind. Try stop lying, and maybe you'll learn something. You obviously have lots to learn. Hint, I never said anything about the legality (current or my opinion on it) for prostitution or pimping. That you are so certain about my opinion on it indicates you are insane (seeing things that aren't there), a liar (knowing I didn't say anything of the sort, but lying about it to make me look bad), or too dumb to use a computer (not able to read, but you've proven you can read, even if only rudely and aggressively).
I have done this several times (not for this purpose but because I needed directions or other minor assistance). Each time the officer seemed to genuinely appreciate the chance to help and be seen as the "good guy" in the eyes of the person he was interacting with.
I don't ask cops anything (too many cops as friends to be deluded into thinking they are out to help, the fact that departments prefer ex-military and screen out intelligent cops seems to support my opinions), but I know of more than one person taken to jail for asking a cop directions. The cop was helpful at first, then took something in the question as suspicious (why would you need directions to the Interstate? Are you running from something? Why are you in a place you aren't familiar with?), and ran them through the system, resulting in an arrest, though usually for something mostly innocuous, like an old unpaid traffic ticket that was long forgotten. Much safer to ask a shopkeeper.
There are piles of depth cues. Parallax is only one. You are arbitrarily picking and choosing the cues you accept as "real" or not. You also discount the possibility of having the image in focus at all points. With "fake" 3D, but all points in focus on the stereoscopic images, you completely eliminate your #1. And if you insist #5 isn't stereoscopy, then you are insisting that both eyes are fed the same image. I assert that's false.
Most of the effect in #3 is mental, not physical. Your brain is not processing what you aren't focusing on (and no, focus is not an optical term in this context, if you know a better term for "location of attention", I'm open to it). Even in one-eyed persons, the eyes work as a pair. Your brain can't focus on an optical distance without directing both eyes to it, even if one eye is non responsive. The tiny effect of the changing shape of the eye is inconsequential. Those with a misshapen eye (myopia of hyperopia) do not operate as you assert, and yet still experience 3D(a) without having an eye "focus" on the point of attention. Your hypothesis doesn't work.
Let's face it: so called 3D movies today are a marketing scam,
They add depth to width and height. Your argument is that 2+1 != 3. I don't think you'll win that one. That you object to the depth doesn't make it not there.
I have done ride alongs. The police assume everyone is a criminal. There are only two types of people. Cops and criminals. We never played "cops and innocent bystanders" as kids. We are trained that there are two sides. Long gone are the beat cops that proactively prevented crime by building relationships with the neighborhood. The cops swoop in arrest everyone, and let the lawyers sort it out. Cops that want to rise will work on beating out confessions to protect conviction rates. After all, if you are talking to a cop, you are a criminal, they just might not have proven it yet.
No, a ride along doesn't give justification as to why the armed cop is beating the unarmed person. The number one reason people are beat is "contempt of cop". If you don't follow orders fast enough, you are resisting. If you are resisting arrest, they can beat you. That's how it's done.
If you aren't trying to imply any causality, why mention a correlation? It was commentary on your inability to fail to take a stab at unions. So many people are insane about hating anything that might reduce the power gap between the employers and the employees.
One of these shows a police officer pinning a guy to the ground with his knee so that he can cuff him (presumably after the guy already did something wrong and tried to resist arrest.) That is hardly what I'd call brutality.
I've seen full video for something like that. The person was compliant, but the police treated him roughly anyway, knowing that the abuse apologists like you would justify it.
No, there are bad cops, and cops that cover for bad cops (and are thus, bad cops). There are no good cops. Well, maybe some rookies that are particularly dumb. But that's not hard, when there is a screening to get rid of smart cops, but none to get rid of dumb ones.
What's more lazy, "The Supremes" - 12 chars, or SCOTUS - 6 chars. I'm taking twice as long for something more clear. SCOTUS is stupid. I don't use it. Everyone knew what I meant, so it was correct, for the context.

So the states are allowed to legislate interstate commerce, and the feds can't?

We have near infinite energy, all solar (directly or indirectly). So energy isn't a problem, just cost.
