Congress largely ignored most issues and is at an all time low - Chart and I chose a conservative one, some are at 11%.
The Senate only passed 27 bills this year. The house passed many more bills but business is different and a passage of a bill might mean cloture or the changing of a rule.
If the oxidation is gray it's titanium red (rust) it's Iron. If you put it in salt water and it don't corrode it's titanium if it dose it's iron. An equal amount titanium weighs 45% less than an equal amount of iron (volume). If you can't afford it it's titanium if you can afford it it's iron (point of story). Titanium
Do you think no law firm has more than one client? At least, considering their published portfolio, it seems these guys will accept anything that comes their way.
Of all the law firms in all the world both Chuck Norris' walk into mine. Yep, I'll agree there is a possibility (About as much of a possibility as flipping a coin eight time and having it come up heads/tails 50% of the time).

Been there, done that. There was once an operating system (and I use the term loosely) put out by Microsoft, Windows 3.1, and it was the last dime I gave William.
In Soviet Russia, they sieze [sic] dissidents. What, you were expecting a joke? 'Cuz this isn't funny.
It isn't funny.
Quiz: True or False -- On a scale of 1 to 10, what is your middle name?
Neither is this:
Not a quiz: Yes or no -- Do you still beat your wife?
In the USA we have the Filth amendment but the way things are going that may not last.
Actually, if you vote you have no right to complain, because you essentially agree to participate in a democratic system that is utterly, completely, hopelessly corrupt.
Touché -- But I live in Arizona and we have the Clean Elections Act.
According to our forefathers, the right to vote is worth your life. My how times have slipped. But I do agree. I can't blame the voter when you have the choices you have today.
If you don't vote you don't have the right to complain, no matter how bad your choices are.
The Chinese submarine captain either has a big brass pair or didn't have a clue here he was at. An aircraft carrier can have up to two dozen support group a carrier battle group Lets forget the ability of US Navy of blowing them out of the water the amount of intelligence that can be gathered by such a close encounter could prove invaluable. If the Chinese captain was in error he could be in serous trouble.
If the USA want to celebrate their veterans that day, fine, but that's no reason to forget the origin of the holiday.
If the we really wanted to be narcissistic about the whole thing we could have celebrated Veterans Day on November tenth, the birth of the U. S. Marine Corps.
The US is correctly characterized as a democracy and as a republic in spite of the fact that neither word appears in its name.
The official form of government of the United States of America is a "federal constitutional republic" which is much more complex that just a democracy or republic. A group of self-governing states in republic held together by a constitution.
What a strange leap of logic. You need to study Lincoln.
What part of Lincoln? The man was a tyrant imprisoning thousand suspected Confederate sympathizers without trial, revoked habeas corpus and spent money on the Civil War without Congresses approval. Abraham Lincoln was so unpopular that in 1925 when Mount Rushmore commissioned his bust almost didn't make it because of the fear that anti Lincoln sympathizers would vandalize the bust, sixty years after his death.
I would venture to say if there had been poles in Abe's time he probably make George Bush AND Congress look like golden boys. All and all he was probably a pretty good president although I defiantly don't believe the ends justifies the means.
The Republican Party released a similar piece saying the party was unsuitable for use in a Democracy. "We wish all the good luck too our Democratic colleagues in sustaining the intent of the US Constitution."
That would only be true if we lived in a Democracy. Your statement indicates you don't know what kind of government you live under, I recommend you look it up.
Before some else complains about it, I should note that I can't download the episodes in Firefox. But the streaming working perfectly fine. So it seems like it is only partially IE dependent. I'm curious if the streaming will work on with a MAC or Linux, or if it is Windows only.
Streaming seems to work just just fine with Firefox on Slackware.
Politics effects everybody lives no matter if you are Liberal, Conservative or Liberian. The political landscape is and inescapable fact of life whether you vote or don't, are politically active or not or pay attention or just blow it off.
Politicians are held accountable by there constituents some of those people geeks like us.
What, only one referance to Phil Zimmermann? One of the main reasons Philip Zimmermann created Pretty Good Privacy in 1991 was because of the US government wanting to install backdoors in encryption software.
Randomness is often used in statistical process control along with probability theory in the manufacturing industry to determine when a produce is going out of tolerance. Random sampling is just one of a half dozen or so methods currently in use in SPC.
However, only time will tell is this will work or if the TSA has the discipline to use it correctly or if it is even suited for the task.

All in all, pretty dismal.

However, a pure democracy is government by mob rule. You know, like that mob in the book by Mary Shelley.
The official form of government of the United States of America is a "federal constitutional republic" which is much more complex that just a democracy or republic. A group of self-governing states in republic held together by a constitution.
You make it sound like it's a democratic republic much like the former USSR was a socialist republic. We do not have a democratic republic.
Your the one that is confused. Go find an American Flag, stand in front of if, place your rught hand over ypour heart and say:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Democracy for which it stands, ..."
Now is that right?
