You'll get much further in life when you stop living your life wrapped around retarded ridged rules that make you prejudice against valid alternatives while at the same time giving your competition, which isn't so warped, an advantage.
Rules with ridges are often more rigid. Com'on guys, were goin' over the top, mind the barbed wire.
Good to know that you would sacrifice the lives of thousands of people to relieve the discomfort of one. I sincerely hope all your family and friends die in terrorist attacks that could have been prevented.
How comforting to know that the morals and ethics that made this nation great (please note the past tense) are to be sacrificed in a ludicrous attempt to garner "intelligence" (not to be confused with facts/data or actual information, it it doesn't even qualify as "news" on a truthiness meter, likely available through more conventional methods. Oh, for instance coordinating the intelligence already gathered by disparate three letter agencies?
All in a desperate attempt to quiet the fears of something which, statistically, is far less likely than to be hit by lightning or win a power-ball lottery. We have, in the past, already sacrificed millions to those ideals, saving paltry thousands in such a despicable fashion, spits on those true American men and women who put themselves out there to defend those freedoms you currently enjoy, but seem so eager to forfeit. Hopefully, you or anyone close to you would never experience the ordeal of being (I assume unjustly) accused of being a terrorist and subjected to such interrogation to determine the facts of such a heinous "betrayal", but your attitude towards that which makes us strong makes it far more likely to happen. YOU are the one that prohibitions of inhumane treatment and requirement of due process are meant to serve, however, they must extend to all, or they are nothing, because the ones in power, making the decision as to who is worthy of such protections and who is not are unlikely to be on your side, as they would not be in that position if they had the appropriate appreciation of the abstract ideals, they are there for selfish concerns and the fate an accused is of no consequence, it would not be to there masters advantage for the accusation to be found to be anything but "substantiated".
Far more reputable than a politician's PR flack.
Comedians, on average, have substantially more truthiness in their commentary, as it it the reality of the subject that the give the observations their bite.
The ones who do make it into office generally get frustrated with the day-to-day realities of governance
Of course, that frustration is well worth the bribe money, kickbacks, golf junkets and lucrative post-retirement corporate positions, lets not forget those "left-over" campaign contributions (forgetting about all the companies shafted with unpaid bills from the campaigns), pension and health benefits (voted to themselves, natch) far beyond the average citizen.
My heart just bleeds that they find doing their job is filled with frustration about petty annoyances, because that is such an unusual work environment, and they lack the brains to use/. as an outlet for it.
...and obloquy... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as hate, ridicule, obloquoy, and obloquy,.... I'll come in again.
What, no puffery?

the policy does suggest that the app store has swiss cheese security and a stealthily rooted phone could possibly download apps without paying for them or do damage to the store itself.
So Apple is saying they want their customers to provide credit card and other personal information to a website they have failed to make secure or robust.
why we show "It's a wonderful life" year after year after year after year after....
No longer the case, we have been shafted, again. Monetization Uber Alles. From Wikipedia:
"In 1993, Republic Pictures, which was the successor to NTA, relied on the 1990 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Stewart v. Abend (which involved another Stewart film, Rear Window) to enforce its claim to the copyright. While the film's copyright had not been renewed, the plaintiffs were able to argue its status as a derivative work of a work still under copyright. It's a Wonderful Life is no longer shown as often on television as it was before enforcement of that derivative copyright."

My roommate has tons of David Weber books...very prolific writer. Haven't read his stuff...due to my eyes getting worse & worse the older I get.

Being from Texas apparently trumps being a American.
Just think of it as a warning label.
I expect to see "rear deck spoilers" appearing on pickup tailgates any time now. (Please note that this invalidates any patent application for such a ludicrous product, surpassing the installation of one on a Hyundai).
I am probably one of your creepy old people, but my local library saved me from the mistake of spending money for Orson Scott Card's latest "Ender" novel. While barely worth my time for "completeness", it certainly would not be something I would re-read.
I agree, the import is WAD (working as designed). I don't do much with CSV, but I would think that a good database designer anticipating export/import of data would spec'ing an ID field with positional encoding of department or whatever might want to define the field with a non-numeric like a dash so that it will sort, align and print as an x position field and not a left justified number. It is not the programs fault the user is using a hammer to drive a screw. But on the gripping hand, this is not a unreasonable "Joe Sixpack" expectation, I would imagine it would not be hard to add a check box "Strip leading zeroes on numeric fields" (unchecked by default) which would result in the auto-classification mapping the field to "Text" rather than "Standard" as you suggest.
How many non 80/443 connections are you internal hosts using for pity's sake?
In a SOHO with all those additional services, you aren't going to overwhelm even a SOHO router.
Anything larger you are going to proxy or relay them out through internet facing servers.
You burn a couple public IP addresses for those servers, voila access for multiple thousands of desktops.
Mebbe a couple IT people are doing some SSH and oddball ports thru static translations, but the brunt of average desktop users go through the proxy on 80/443.
As a species, the modern banana has been *very* successful
You realize that the yellow sweet fruit (technically a "berry") most people think of as the (current) modern banana are all clones?

"all the minor varieties of cultivated banana are essentially sterile, genetically uniform clones"
Without human intervention this "success" will die in a single banana generation.
Not only that, this is not the first clone iteration.
Your parents probably remember a better banana in the sixties, it was susceptible to a fungus and supplanted by the current, inferior, product (tried to find the citation, but no luck, perhaps someone with superior search-fu can supplement).
Anyways, the USA can't make any meaningful changes to copyright law without going through the World Trade Organization.
Actually they can, my understanding is that a constitutional amendment (and only an amendment) would supersede the treaty without renegotiating. Like that will ever happen.

Not totally yellow, of course, it does get very brownish as it reaches the tip of their noses.

"Louie, Louie" would be a good choice. Maybe "Wipeout" for the .1 channel.
