No, it's more like if the South was still separated from the North and somebody from Florida built a factory in New York with their headquarters still in Florida. Is that a US company or a Confederate company? What if the North still claimed rule over the South but actually had not effect on the South other than keeping them out of any international organization and pointing missiles at them. Now imagine the South still has their own currency, health care system, President and Congress, hold elections and have vastly more human rights (I know, the human rights is probably swapped in this scenario). Oh but the North says there is only one America, so they bully the rest of the world into not officially recognizing the South as its own sovereign country.
I had a friend who's car had to have the headlights turned on or else it would honk if you tried to turn the ignition. That was a wacky way to keep people from stealing your car.
I thought it was going to be an article critical of the new Kindle, and had to read the article before realizing I had misread the title. I wonder what genius at Amazon thought that Paperwhite is a good word? It's awkward to say and is so similar to paperweight that people will confuse it all the time.
...and it *is* special treatment because they aren't proposing one called.hetero are they?
Dude, your post is so many kinds of awesome I had to pay my respects...
Yeah, there's no.hetero domain, you're exactly right. That's like saying, "well, I don't like the USA's Black History Month because there's no White History Month", when White History Month is EVERY FRIGGIN' MONTH OF THE YEAR!
Reminds me of a meme I saw once. Asking why there is woman's study and no men's study, the reply was there is, it's called History.
... cell phones with "notes" functions that allow them to take down quick reminders...
I actually have found this to be the thing that is lacking on my Android phone. Of all the default applications that are available, not a single notepad. I've tried many different ones from the market, but they all have their quirks and I can't seem to find something that is just easy to drop in a line of text, automatically save, and later allow me to easily transfer it to my computer.
The third category -- and this is what I'm talking about here -- are the unskilled welfare queens. They are almost always minorities and other immigrants who need a way to citizenship to pay for their 5 kids they had while working for McDonald's. Let's not kid ourselves here - most of these are not heroes. They signed up because they dug themselves into that hole, and they still get better(taxpayer-funded) healthcare than many civilians. Sterilization of those should be mandatory upon enlistment.

It seems like a futile effort to sterilize them after already having 5 kids.
I'd assume there may be some ID theft criminals out there. With what people post on social media knowing it's a public forum just think of what data they could get from a laptop. There's also the always logged in websites possibly that they can get into, and depending on if the laptop is in sleep/hibernation the website might not even boot them to the log in screen.
Also a recent development. Of course American maple syrup is nowhere near as good as Quebec maple syrup, but that's just my biased Montreal snob-side coming out. Good for you, any cartel (and the Quebec maple syrup industry certainly is a cartel that has been gouging the price for years) deserves a little competition overseas.
I'm not sure where you think Vermont is, but the last I checked from Quebec to Vermont there are no seas, maybe a lake or two, but certainly no bodies of water large enough to constitute calling it a sea.
In your link it states that you would have to lead people to believe that you have the authority of a TSA officer, satire and parody should still be protected as long as it is known you are not an actual TSA officer.
Blizzard seems to be good at removing DRM with patches when they begin to stop support for it. Looking at Diablo 2 which used to required the CD to be loaded had that removed some time ago. I would like to believe that if the day comes that they stop supporting Diablo 3 that they may release a set of patches that would remove the DRM and allow for offline single player (and hopefully LAN multiplayer).
Sometimes companies allow their profit margin to eat away for a while possibly hoping for costs to come down. At some point, when costs do not come down, we see a sudden spike in pricing. I recently saw a 25% spike in the price of cola products here, they could have raised the price slowly, a couple cents a year, but because of some psychological analysis companies prefer to use certain price points, usually ending in 5 or 9, to sell their products. This can lead to larger than usual spikes; they may also be anticipating not having to raise their prices for a good while afterwards and can therefore justify the slightly higher pricing. Would it have been different if they only raised it to $14.98? Quite possibly, although that is still nearly a 50% spike in prices.
Currently the record is a person averaging under 7s at the official competitions. I attended one once and saw a guy who averaged around 9s, most people competing (really competing) were around 10-15s, then there was me around 30s (just thought it'd be fun to try). The only girl who showed up to compete got around 2mins.
Nah, I'd just set up a shop inside the city with books like, 1000 Recipes for Dog, or There's More Than One Way to Skin a Cat, Gold Fish Sandwiches and Other Fine Cuisine, etc. I'll also have a corner set aside with different utensils that can be used for these purposes and maybe have weekly workshops to show people the proper way to break the neck on an iguana before preparing the meat for iguana sausage.
There's an article here that talks about it a little bit. You both say it's not because of lack of demand and the grid can't handle the excess power. Excess power would be power not in demand right? The problem is too much snow melting, meaning too much water, meaning the dam's turbines are spinning too much and creating too much electricity.
During off-peak hours this spring, the dams have been generating more power than customers in the region need.
This would be lack of demand. Whether it comes from surges due to snow melt off or people using less electricity it is still excess and not in demand. The article also states that BPA refuses to pay negative prices to have California generators shut down and purchase the excess energy.
Yeah, they could use all that dam power which they have to just waste right now because there isn't enough demand for all the hydro or wind energy that we're creating.
Or people, people are the most useful hacking tool. A lot of hacks are done with no more than either a telephone call or a friendly conversation. We should just ban people, get it over with, lock everyone up and be done with it all.

That's why we need to take a serious look at Gary Johnson. We need a good steward of taxpayer's dollars.
Live free.

And we have a winner for a DOD grant for research in the new field of death/destruction by excessive mass.
Brings a new meaning to Weapons of Mass Destruction, doesn't it?

Can't wait to put this on my car and scooter. Hopefully it takes care of those speed/red light cameras.
They subsidize when you sign a contract, in mid contract you don't get a subsidy with your new phone.
And Vermont is very proud of its maple syrup.

An ad campaign like the Army's would also help.

A budget like theirs would also help :)
It's just a wild guess, but I think he may have been referring to the Army's budget vs NASA's budget.

I can solve a Rubik's cube in less than 30 seconds. How long does it take to pull off the stickers and put them back on?

Nothings changed, nobody appreciated an actual geek to begin with.
It might be interesting if a cloud floats over the car :-D
