Next, you'll tell me a CRT isn't a particle beam cannon. "stream of electrons excite the phosphors." The real reason LCD TVs took off is that people didn't have to stare into the barrel of a particle beam canon to watch TV.
Not where I've gone. To prevent vandalism of the most expensive item in the building, they are generally placed within sight of the librarian's station, at least in the libraries I've been to. The Reference desk even has its own set of copiers because the reference books can't be checked out, so they presume an increase in copy activity (but still by the librarian's station, just the secondary station, in libraries so equipped).
Oh, you mean like in the last election, where many precincts in several states reported that over 100% of registered voters voted (which should be impossible)? Or where some other precincts reported that a full 100% of the vote for that district went to Obama (which is statistically improbable)? Or the cases where after the election, where some voters have come out and claimed publicly that they voted for Obama multiple times?
Yes. Why are you trying to turn a non-partisan issue into a partisan one?
Now lets see, which party adamantly opposes Voter ID laws which would curb this problem.
That wouldn't curb the problem at all. There wasn't a report of a single case where a Republican showed up to the polls and was turned away because they had already voted that day, and the precinct went to Obama, was there? Even if you increase the number of hurdles, the problem doesn't go away. But yes, the Republican Voter ID laws are anti-vote because they are a poll tax. You must pay $$$ to vote. Even if that $$$ is in time off work, not cash. Where are the Voter ID laws that fund 24 hour ID stores with free IDs? Nope, still limited hour DMVs with massive lines that are impossible to get in and out of over a lunch time, and some fee associated with the ID. Much like the original poll taxes were deliberately anti-voter, I've not seen a Voter ID law that wasn't as well. Not that it'd be hard to craft one that was legal, but the Republicans don't even try.
But if the problem is ballot stuffing, not ineligible voters, how doe Voter ID address the problem? How can more than 100% vote? Where I vote, the voters are checked off as they give their name, and when the 101%th person shows up, the book would be full. What name are they giving to vote under? How could that problem be caused by anything other than ballot stuffing?
Simply throwing a few punches back isn't enough. You need to knock them to the ground, stand over them and humiliate them in front of 'their' peers. The bullies need to know that they can't win against you, that's the real key to making them stop.
Sounds like someone just watched Ender's Game. But what about those unable to win against the group sent after? They didn't line up in order for me, as they do in the movies, where it's possible to fight 6 people one at a time.
Science can be used to gauge whether Head Start is a net cost, or a cost saving measure. Does it save more in other programs, such as welfare and prisons, than it costs? Measuring it is a science (or can be measured by a proper study).
But apart from that which is or isn't objective policy, the Republicans are anti-intellectual. And that is anti-science.
Why are you so interested in body fat? It's weight that kills. What was Michael Clark Duncan's body fat percentage when he died of heart disease? Looked low to me. BMI correlates with heart disease better than body fat percentage because its the pumping through mass that matters, not strictly fat %. Though two people of equal BMI, the one with greater fat would probably be at higher risk, but an unfit person of 25 BMI will likely be at lower risk than a body builder of 30+ BMI.
Someone like Michael Clark Duncan had a hight BMI and low bodyfat. Still died of heart disease. The thing bodybuilders don't get is that weight, not fat, it hard on the heart. A body of lots of muscle is no easier on the heart than a body full of fat. So lose weight. The less you weigh, the better off you are, presuming you aren't dangerously underweight (when your systems start starvation mode).
And if the definition of "astrology" was "the scientific study of the effects of the seasons and tides on biometrics", what would you expect the answer to be?
And that restriction is adding more process and people to the Executive branch to comply. That's bigger government through "small government" legislation.
Verified traceable non-anonymous voting. It's how the country was founded, and it worked better the first 100 years than the most recent 100 with anonymous voting. It only had a problem when there was open violent revolt, and the polls weren't physically safe places. As the Civil War is over, open voting, once again, would result in the best result for the country. Lower fraud, easier error correction. Florida's lesson was "anonymous voting allows massive systemic fraud, and no traceability in the system." There are precincts with more votes cast than humans in the area. Ballot stuffing happens every year. Intimidation, if it were a problem, would happen today with absentee ballots. It doesn't. So there are no downsides for open voting in a stable mature country. But lots of negatives for anonymous voting.
Bullies sense weakness. When I went to a new school after years in the same one with untouchable bullies (son of the dean). Somone grabbed something of mine and they were playing keep away. I ran to get it, and it would be thrown to someone else. I told the next guy to give it to me, "or else". He laughed, so I ran towards him, like I wanted to intercept it. He threw it to someone else, but I didn't stop, and I laid him out flat. I turned to the person he threw it to, and said "may I have it back please?" He put it on the ground and walked away. I wasn't bullied in that school.
Yes, bullies do respond if you hit back, but only before they are bullies. "trained" bullies would have no issue starting a fight, then turning you in for starting a fight. Then getting 4 friends to start a fight with you, then turn you in for starting a fight. When you have 6 reports against one student and no more than 1 report each against the others, the bullied student will be punished, but not the bullies.
I have 4 years of bully stories from before then, but as you say, fighting back never helps. And where I was, I could get no friends. I had "friends" that we'd play together, and such, but when it was school time, they pretended not to know me because to know me was to get in trouble with the professional bully. Who was the dean's son. He ended up in jail, but not for many years. This was at an exclusive private school. They solved the bullying by essentially expelling me. They told me I shouldn't come back the next year, or I'd get expeled if I was in a fight, regardless of how it started. This was at St. Mark's School of Texas.
The irony is that I was put into private school because I was being bullied in public school, by the teacher (locked in a closet for lunch, beat for doing assignments in ways she didn't like). That, and she put me in the retarded class, despite my 140+IQ (the reason I got into the most exclusive private school in Texas, though it's major draw was that it was one block from my home so I could latch-key it, and the academics was secondary). She didn't know what to do with me. If I were born 10 years later, I'd I'd have been Asperger's, dyslexic, ADD, ADHD, and probably 10 other things. The labels were invented to explain the teacher's failings.
That's an optimistic assessment by the librarians, who also assert that enticing infringement is legal. Have you seen the number of copy machines in libraries? I haven't ever seen a library without one, but then I didn't go to libraries until the late '70s early '80s.
You are trying to argue, rather than reading. That was your first problem. Apple won because they were the first to file a court case. Samsung has an Apple-looking device that pre-dates Apple's devices. Time wise, Apple followed Samsung, and Samsung was consistent and persistent. That Apple's design looks remarkably Samsung-like, and Samsing copied Samsung's look and feel (which Apple may have copied in the mean time) apparently didn't make any diffference.
It shouldn't matter if Samsung directly copied Apple if Samsung did it first.
Most phones sold through carriers can be bricked remotely. Your comment seemed to imply that a smartphone is still useful without a WAN. While that may be true if it isn't bricked, the vast majority can be bricked remotely. That you imply otherwise makes you the contrarian dumbass.
So you rooted your phone and installed a bootloader that refuses the telco-sponsored updates? If not, you can be bricked OTA at any time. Some updates have inadvertently done it, so to pretend they couldn't do it deliberately is a bit silly.
You've obviously never been bullied. Hitting a bully back doesn't work. The two times I did, one got me suspended and disciplined (no "charges" for the bully) and the other time, the bully came back with 5 others and cornered me. Fighting back doesn't work, and those that suggest it were annoyed with people but the people annoying them weren't bullies.
In your narritive, every recount Bush got fewer votes. Had there been another recount or two, Gore would have won. That is the problem, and why the Supreme Court stepped in. It was almost discovered that *every* election is rigged. We are voting for the winner of WWF matches.
So, if Apple ripped off Samsung, and Samsung ripped off Apple, does that mean that Apple should win in court because they were the first to file (the lawsuit)?
That's the same as AllOfMP3. They were 100% legal, but shut down on pressure from the US to shut them down. No arrests. No charges. Just threats until they were shut down. The US believes in freedom of speech, unless they don't like it. hyperlinks are still illegal in the US, and taxpayer money was spent stiffling speech in other countries that didn't harm the US, but some businesses within the US asserted was harmful. Rights are available in the US only if you are rich enough to afford them.
The people vote. The people's vote counts for something. That's popular vote. That the popular vote doesn't determine the winner doesn't mean it is necessarily meaningless, as most polls are national (at least as presented, the analysits go to state level for predictions).

No more like getting the government involved to enforce "slander" laws for chilling effects (especially if it wasn't slander in the first place).
You obviously never read a ruling against a P2P site.

The foul was having a vote system where fraud is allowed and encouraged. It's time we went back to open voting to end the fraud.
