Of course, you also forgot "Abandoned Bretton Woods, starting us on the road to the current economic mess," "Massively escalated the Vietnam war before pulling out our troops in ignominy in his second term," and "made his name through egregious red-baiting via the Alger Hiss trial."
Nixon appears full of contradictions from our vantage point because despite his numerous flaws, he was the last Republican president who was actually interested in governing.
You're dealing with two different camcorder recordings off a projection screen, and looking for differences at individual frames somewhere in a 90 minute movie. There's a hell of a a lot of difference as a baseline. For DVD screeners, though, that could work.
I could see the audit process to determine what, if anything, was downloaded/altered costing a pretty good chunk of that. Especially when you start getting lawyers involved over possible ITAR issues if someone on the inside was negligent or actively aiding the intrusion.
Actually, no. The $600 Toilet seats were for an aircraft (E3 Hawkeye?) that had a non-standard sized seat that had to conform to various weight and durability requirements. The contractor that originally supplied the seats no longer had the tooling from their original production run, so making replacement seats became a matter of starting a small-batch production run with large startup costs (making molds, etc.).
The article was unclear - does this just mean the crappy GMail app, or Google Apps Sync for BB, which syncs contacts and calendar to a (paid?) Google Apps account?
Losing Google Apps Sync would make some of my clients extremely unhappy...
The same reason bad governments in any democracy do unconstitutional things. Policy failures, especially ones coming from the executive, don't define the state. The US gets to call itself a representative republic despite Puerto Rico and other unrepresented territories, for example.
It's a lot harder to break the tip off a pen than a pencil, and one doesn't typically produce much dust from the tip material of a ballpoint in the course of normal use/maintenance.
And of course one also has to look at Arafat's extremely poor decision to back Saddam Hussein when he invaded Kuwait, pissing off his Saudi backers no end and paving the way for that river of money to shift in Hamas's direction. Of course, without that shift there probably would have been no 1993 peace talks, and so back to square one.
It is commonly said that the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
Meanwhile Israelis keep electing loony-right governments that build more and more illegal settlements filled with trigger-happy immigrants from Brooklyn for reasons that I frankly can't fathom.
Um, it currently is one democratic secular state (albeit with the otherwise disenfranchised grandchildren of 1948 refugees electing an 'authority' with limited powers in zones occupied in 1967 by it's complicated). It's not working very well.
Well, there were like three of them instead of hundreds (not counting local UHF stations that broadcasted bottom-dollar content for bottom-dollar ad revenue and tax- and pledge-supported public television). The production budgets for network-leading shows were also significantly lower (although contemporary "reality television" is outrageously cheap to make).
they're probably the only kids permitted regular pediatrician visits.
Say what now? Not only are well-child visits and vaccinations mandated to have zero co-pay for all insurers under Obamacare, they weren't particularly expensive to begin with even if paying out-of-pocket. And although the Republicans are hard at work gutting it, CHIP and Medicaid gets poor kids decent access to healthcare, too.
I looked into offering some game pieces on shapeways (not minis, just meeples and tokens for eurogames - I'm more of an inorganic modeler) and concluded that it would be very hard to offer something compelling. The materials that hold good detail come in a pretty limited range of colors, and I'm not sure how well the surface would take a coat of paint if one were printing of miniatures.
Also, if you think GW stuff is expensive, wait till you see priced-per-cc Shapeways.
As a kid, I had a GI Joe-themed woodburning set. It was basically a cheapass soldering iron (with a GI Joe sticker on it) and some sheets of balsa wood in a cardboard box. It was very obvious that touching something capable of burning designs into wood on contact would hurt. So I didn't.
(Less obviously dangerous was the piece of still-soft glass I picked up from the floor of the glassblowing studio tour at age 10, but I came away from the experience with nothing more than a blister and a lifelong respect for items of unknown temperature.)
Technically, they aren't. Pennsylvania has a whole brochure about why it's naughty naughty naughty to drive 45 minutes to Delaware to buy stuff tax-free.

You forgot "established the EPA."
Of course, you also forgot "Abandoned Bretton Woods, starting us on the road to the current economic mess," "Massively escalated the Vietnam war before pulling out our troops in ignominy in his second term," and "made his name through egregious red-baiting via the Alger Hiss trial."

If you have a copy, then a citation would be most useful for your interlocutors.
Goldman Sachs.
Why don't they use, say, Yankee Stadium then, or the hardscaping on the Washington Mall rather than purpose-built targets?
...and sentiment about the occupation of Ireland divides fairly neatly along sunni/shiite^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H catholic/protestant lines.

Didn't somebody's teardown reveal something like a $2 difference in part costs between the iPhone and Touch?

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_seat#U.S._Navy.27s_.22.24600_Toilet_Seat.22 will tell you all you need to know. I had some details wrong above, but the actual story looks even better for the military.

Got documentation? Send it to the state bar association wrapped in whatever is needed to make a complaint.
In the US at least, debt dies with the debtor.

You mean "expect your kids to lose everything."

So dissent requires passing notes by candlelight on handmade paper?

Actually, that regulation is enacted, based on the sign at our pediatrician's office.
Well, if you impregnated as many females per year as a corn stalk does, you'd have something.
Such as a staggering child support bill.
