Some will get covered under an expanded Medicaid (if you're at or under 133% of the poverty line). Others (up to 400% of poverty line) will get subsidies on a sliding scale from the government to put toward health insurance. Here.
Hence there was a hatred of white immigrants from Ireland or Scotland.
To be fair, Irish were not considered white back then. Not sure about the Scottish, but you're probably confusing them with Scotch-Irish, who were also from Ireland.
I attended (1) public school (2) in a small town (3) in Texas (4) in the 90s. So four things Slashdotters would definitely assume were working against me.
That being said, I had multiple opportunities to skip grades (two of my closest friends both graduated from high school two years early). The first was when I was five. My mom didn't want me to skip because of socialization issues (and size issues: I was already small for my age!).
Instead, they sent me to second grade for reading, fifth grade for writing, and fourth grade for math.
So it's sometimes hard for me to believe this meme of "I couldn't skip a grade in the US" when I had George W. Bush, proto-No Child Left Behind, and anti-intellectual social attitudes working against me nearly from the get go.
Actually the law is such that, if she's the only female board member, she must have 51% or more of the voting power of the Board. So yes, if GP's statements are actually true, then she does have the power to wield however she wishes.
People like to hate on DiCaprio, but his accent in Blood Diamond is, if my Zimbabwean friends can be trusted, pretty damn near perfect. Of course, idiots like to dump on him for having a shitty South African accent, which is a good thing since he was using a Rhodesian accent.
This is back in the day when American actors thought playing the bad guy would ruin their careers. Thus we needed British actors to act in those roles.
Because Turing was a hero. And Americans believe that only an American can be a hero.
CF the Japanese names for the UK and the US...
You are very, very mistaken.
First off, the word for "England" in Japanese is "igirisu," written fully in katakana, with no "heroic meaning" that you're hinting it. It comes from a corruption of either the Portuguese "Inglez" or Dutch "Engelsch" (jury's still out on that one).
Second, the kanji I'm sure you're thinking of is this. You're likely thinking "hey, that kanji is the first in the Japanese word for hero, EIYUU, so it must mean 'hero.'" Unfortunately, that kanji means "distinguished" (and the YUU means "male").
Finally, EI as an abbreviation for "England" comes from the Chinese, not Japanese, "ateji" (i.e., "shit we put together to sound like our spoken word for England but has no meaning").
tl;dr The kanji associated with England is not so associated because the Japanese think of the English as heroic (although I know that, as a fellow island constitutional monarchy with a relatively stoic culture, they do respect England a lot).
Just like the Japanese don't associate America with rice, despite America's kanji name. (Incidentally, the "rice" kanji associated with America is only done so because rice + a couple other kanji ends up being pronounced MERIKEN; then you drop the RIKEN and add the kanji for "country" and you end up with the formal BEIKOKU you are implicitly referring to.)
It's about the cushy position given to him for 12 years at University of Chicago Law School as a lecturer for constitutional law.
I went to an elite law school. In my experience, people in LS with the designation of "lecturer" are either full-time but have no pressure to produce scholarship (and no chance at tenure) or part-time while they have a real job on the side. My litigation classes were taught by lecturers who had once been litigators (or were currently litigators--think ADAs), not academics, and my seminar was taught by a "lecturer" who was a partner at a prestigious firm. I did a clinic one year, and my professor/leader was a lecturer with a busy international humanitarian law practice (the clinic was in the same area of IHL). The part-time lecturers are never engaged with the faculty because this is just something they do on the side.
Sure enough, I checked Obama's biography: For twelve of the fourteen years he was at Chicago, he taught part time while a civil rights attorney in private practice, director of a voting advocacy organization, on various boards of directors--including for organizations he founded--and a politician.
For the other two years, he was a writer. I will admit that it seems unusual to me that he'd get a position at Chicago to write a primarily non-legal memoir. The visiting fellows I know all were at another institution to foster intercollegiate scholarship or something similar.
I don't see how anyone but NASA has a legitimate claim to it
Feel free to re-write property law, which holds up the principle that abandoned property belongs to the finder. IT has held up this principle for a thousand years. Lost, Mislaid, and Abandoned Property
The foregoing analysis, of course, is entirely contingent upon your categorization of this stuff as "trash" (i.e., abandoned property).
In true fashion, I haven't RTFA. But a limitations period can be tolled in certain circumstances. But I am a corporate lawyer, not a litigator, so my job is to have blind, minority, disabled veteran grandmothers evicted from their dilapidated apartments, not figure out filing deadlines.
No one reads EULA's, and none of them are reasonable. You have to be a lawyer to understand them, and most would not.
This exact same argument could be made to argue why no apartment lease agreement should ever be upheld in court. Apartment contracts involve far more money than any software EULA outside a few that involve parties who are already represented by attorneys (i.e., site licenses for large companies, etc.). Lessees rarely are represented by an attorney when finding an apartment to rent. "No one reads their apartment contract."
It's a bogus argument to say "this is too hard for me to read, so let me sign it, reap the benefit, and then, when I don't like it anymore, let me breach it with impunity." There are better arguments, but almost all of them are arguments against shrink-wrap licenses, not EULAs in general. The big gripe on places like Slashdot, EFF, Boing Boing, etc. is against contracts of adhesion—basically shrink-wrap licenses).
Also, PS, the GPL is a EULA, so they're not all bad.

Yeah, that no-talent hack Mozart had the audacity to write music for scores of instruments he didn't know how to play!

Can you explain to me, like I am five years old, where I was mistaken in my response?
Thank you.
Well, except for the sentence implying all homosexuals are rapists, that is...

Are you aware that "going forward" has been a part of the English language for over two hundred years?
I believe this type of thing was recently upheld in court (class action waiver). I'm not Jennifer, but I thought I'd share.
Personally, I think they should be illegalized as very much against public policy.
