Maybe. Slow rolling is a good term for it - when damaging information comes out in dribs and drabs like this usually it means whoever is doing the leaking is trying to keep it in the headlines. From what I can tell they gave her enough rope to hang herself on this one, making sure she had an opportunity to try to lie her way out of it and then releasing proof she's lying.
At this point Obama pretty much has to support an indictment. He'll look crooked otherwise.
What facebook is doing--that is, blackballing discussion of it across the board--is morally wrong, seeing as face to face sales are legal in most states.
I'm about as pro-gun as they come, but I can't agree with this statement. Facebook is a private company, and as such they're entitled to restrict speech on their site in any way they please. Morality doesn't enter into it at all.
I don't think this is so much psychological as a reflection of the fact Tesla is about to do another round of financing. They've been able to borrow money pretty cheaply as a result of the hype.
Why is the EU allowing itself to be flooded with people with few or no skills that will need long term generational support if it cant even look after its own best and brightest?
Because the people running the EU (I'm looking at you, Angela Merkel) have decided the solution to low birth rates is the mass importation of people from other countries. It's cultural suicide. I think they've pretty much realized the whole thing was a bad idea, but where to go from here? The immigrants aren't leaving.
No. You said, and I quote: " NSA/FBI, whoever can't collect this legally themselves, can now fetch a outline of anyone's life and create a profit for the private industry supplier."
This is factually wrong. They can collect this data legally. Do you really not realize this, or are you just blowing clouds of embarrassed smoke?
At this point I have no idea what you're trying to say. We're not talking about "narrative". We're talking about law. To say that what they're doing is illegal is factually wrong, and no amount of fantasy changes that.
They are subject to appeals, for example, based on inability to pay. You are not a criminal or subject to jailing, merely because you are said to have some outstanding fine demanded by authorities.
I'll bet all kinds of people are thinking just that as the cops slip on the cuffs. But unfortunately, the state can arrest you for not paying fines - they do it all the time.
Yeah... the problem is the cop does have a warrant to arrest you if you haven't paid your fines. These are not private debts, and fines levied by government are not "in dispute".
Pretty much, yeah. If Gygax hadn't "commercialized" it, the game would have just been thrown out with the rest of his unwanted stuff when the creator died, and a generation of kids would have missed out on a fun experience.
San Bernadino would have been a one-man job if we had a sane immigration policy. No way the wife should have been allowed in the country. Not only did she broadcast her intentions on social media, she didn't even put a real address on her paperwork. Anyway, it's clear our strategy of bombing mud huts in Africa isn't actually working, wouldn't you say?
The French are screwed. But that's not something we need to consider in US foreign policy.
What are we doing in Africa? Is there some big armada launching from Mauritania to invade Florida? Is there really some big threat there the Africans couldn't handle?
I don't like this kind of stuff very much. It seems like this administration is willing to get us involved in every conflict on the globe... but not very much involved. Enough to piss all the locals off, but not enough to affect the outcome of whatever is going on. I'd rather see the US adhere to the so-called "Powell Doctrine" (much older than Powell) - stay out of other peoples' business until significant national interests are really at stake. And if you have to go to war you don't do it half-assed.
They had to "while [offer] the military large cargo up and down options" because the only way they could make the numbers sort of work when they sold it to Congress was to assume the shuttle would do all US launches. It was a raid on the Air Force's space and missile systems budget. The Air Force was livid, too, since it was obvious NASA would never be able to deliver.

It's also, in and of itself, a felony.

Another billionaire with 24/7 armed security doesn't understand why anyone would want a gun.

Nokia tried to adapt, but they were pretty much caught on the hop. The road is littered with companies like that, from RIM to Motorola.

It's working out great for Venezuela and Zimbabwe!

Frankly, that's childish. You can't change reality by pretending it's different than it is.
I wasn't making a comment on how things should be, just the way things are. It's not illegal for government agencies to collect public information.
Sure... pure profit minus all their up-front expenses. By your definition ever dollar of revenue everywhere is "pure profit".
Yeah... the problem is the cop does have a warrant to arrest you if you haven't paid your fines. These are not private debts, and fines levied by government are not "in dispute".
I don't believe this is true. License numbers are public information, and you have no expectation of privacy when you're driving on public roads.
If you're going to start your post with "I AM AN IDIOT", how can you expect other people to take you seriously?
Pretty much, yeah. If Gygax hadn't "commercialized" it, the game would have just been thrown out with the rest of his unwanted stuff when the creator died, and a generation of kids would have missed out on a fun experience.
No it doesn't. Academics know which side of their bread is buttered, and they know what their research needs to show.

Isn't it? Why can't we just leave them alone and not allow them inside our borders?

She could simply be lying. She does that quite a bit.
