Uh, even if he was a resident of the island before it became a state, he'd be eligible for presidency. The birthers' issue is whether or not he was *really* born in Hawaii, and not "had 'live birth' documents generated so he could go to better schools" in hawaii after being born elsewhere. Kenya, I believe is the claim.
"Scientists" deliberately mislead and misrepresented facts to promote an agenda. To a non-scientist, that taints the issue. And it wasn't a one-time affair. You can't just "look at the science" any more because you no longer have a way if knowing, without actually being one of the scientists, what the hell "the science" is.
The existence of something is irrefutable proof of its possibility. In this case, the thing that you can no longer dismiss as "extremely unlikely" is "deliberate fraud with respect to climate data for the purpose of promoting an agenda."
I'm sorry, I didn't mean dealer certifications. I meant manufacturer certifications. Which come with a manufacturer warranty. Frankly, I'm not sure if it matters whether they actually do an inspection or not as long as they back up the car's remaining quality with money.
Yes it is. It's fairly easy to have a pile of money in the bank that is larger than the minimum level of insurance in your state, and if you have that pile of money, why should you be required to bleed it to an insurance company? You should be able to risk your own dough if you want.
We do license drivers. We register vehicles. A licensed driver is supposed to be operating a registered vehicle when on public roads, and that registration requires a certain level of maintenance to hopefully ensure that all those licensed drivers aren't putting us all at undue risk.
It's just some kind of weird historical quirk that the registration tag ( you know, the tag which conspicuously displays the vehicle's registration number..) is so ubiquitously referred to as a "license plate" in common parlance. Obviously you can't license a thing, it makes no sense. License is what you grant a person to do an activity.
It's designated lifespan. We don't know what the design life was, nor do we know how long that could be extended with judicious maintenance, upgrades, and equipment replacement.
How much will this man-robot soul transfer process cost (i.e. how accessible will it be?), and what happens when the robot-men and the meat-men inevitably clash over resources?
The problem is that there is a massive conspiracy trying to use climate change as a lever to promote a social agenda. They have insinuated themselves into the process and have tainted some of the research.
There is also a loose gathering of industrialists trying to use the same thing as a bullet point to help separate you from your dollars. From the greenwashing of GE using their mouthpiece of every show on NBC, to the auto companies with their claims of 200+ mpg hybrids (which, of course, get a "small" portion of their motive energy out-of-band...), to the electric utilities with their "we need you to approve another rate hike because those windmills we haven't installed yet cost twice as much per kW as conventional fuels" plans.
There are a lot of thumbs leaning on the scales, and it's made it more challenging to separate the nuggets of truth from the nodules of crap that have been surreptitiously dumped into this "perfect storm" of conflicting interests.
Your $500 drone isn't going to be very effective from 30k feet either, though. By the time it closes to a range that it can be combat effective at, it will pass nearby enough to several people who, if they had arms and a modicum of practice at the skeet range, would be able to have a chance at partially disabling it.
I think the real answer is class identity. It's a good idea to emulate the "upper classes" so you might be confused for a member and thereby potentially gain entry to the gentry. By using the idioms of the "lower classes" you allow yourself to be grouped into that group: just having a differentiation is enough to reinforce classism.
I remember in grade school being admonished for a cussing related incident (the details of which are simultaneously weird and super boring), and the words involved were described to me as "Vulgar." The world "vulgar" was new to me at the time as well, but after learning more about its various definitions, I think that it is actually the most apt description of cuss words I have yet heard.
Gives an excuse for officious busybodies to pretend to be the thought police and go around bothering everyone around them with, "no no no, it's cuss free week" and wag their finger like the president.
Simultaneously completely failing to encourage any kind of actual civility by asking the question, "What can I tell others to do to make the world a better place to live in?" instead of encouraging people to ask the question, "What can I do to make things more pleasant for the people around me?"
The scheduled downtime is there to take advantage of certain resources. Namely people who want to work when the sun is out, but don't actually care if they see the sun or not.
I find it a little bit sad that some of the most fun, most robust, most widely available video games are made by a company whose primary focus is selling interlocking toy blocks....
Now, granted that's not on a windows system, but the point is that there are so many files each patch might deal with hundreds. By the time you finished just reading all the files, it might be patch Tuesday all over again.
Do you know what all those half-million files are for? I sure don't. I'm sure a good portion are non-executable media files, but that's still a lot to sift through.
Well, even better. I was just qualifying the idea that you should help your neighbors out as applying mostly in the case where the cost to you is low. If you want to do more than that it's up to you, but I wouldn't call someone a dick for charging their neighbor for an appendectomy for instance.
They were both morons. The neighbor just lacked knowledge, while the poster lacked knowledge, research skills (I'm sure the answer is in knowledge base), and apparently is a sociopath.
I even if solving the problem at the neighbor's router was the best solution, wouldn't it have been more neighborly to just ask him to set the SSID to hidden, and maybe tell him how to secure his router? What's with the BOFH abuse and then charging his neighbor for the privilege. They had a mutual interest in tweaking the router, so they should have been able to come to an agreement which didn't involve money changing hands: turning off SSID makes the router less useful to its owner.
Your neighbors are your neighbors. You're supposed to talk to them, loan and borrow tools and knowledge (within reason. obviously you wouldn't do a free surgical consult). Setting a password is a "do it while chatting over coffee" activity. You wouldn't bill your neighbor for helping nail down plywood shutters before a hurricane and you shouldn't bill you neighbor for helping him type 8-14 letters in a text box and clicking enter.
Well, all the browsers try to make the difference unobtrusive. Oh, a tiny "lock" symbol, or slight change in color, or a special icon in the url bar, or whatever. It's stupid. It should be big and obvious when you're on a secured site.
When you enter the site, there should be giant "steel" doors with some basic details from the certificate printed on them (and made to appear as if stamped or engraved into the doors). That material should include diamond-shaped "warning" placards ment to evoke similar devices in industry, should there be anything that needs warning about (like a self-signed cert). It should include the name of the certifying authority as well. They should have an animated opening sequence when you click on the doors, and they should appear as a border around the page (as if you're looking through the doors to operate the page.)
Steps should be taken to make it difficult to simulate the "security doors." Such as having them extend slightly over some of the UI elements in both states. And maybe have some information "printed" on them that the browser would have access to, but that scripts would not.

You're not getting 200 mpg if you use a gallon of gas and 200kWh to travel it.

Exactly. Re-read, and think about what a witch hunt is: the ultimate ad hominem attack.
There's no particular value to buying it from the manufacturer's second hand shop.
Tell that to $company certified used car lots.
Depends. Are we talking universal gun deprivation, or just the subjects of the crown?

Ah, but what's the un scheduled downtime?
The scheduled downtime is there to take advantage of certain resources. Namely people who want to work when the sun is out, but don't actually care if they see the sun or not.
Yes it was. I think we'd all assumed that you'd meant that the porn was occupying the middle 399TB of the drive...
I find it a little bit sad that some of the most fun, most robust, most widely available video games are made by a company whose primary focus is selling interlocking toy blocks....
In a post scarcity economy? Yeah, everyone gets a free ride. Everything changes if you can get to that.
Here's the reason they don't:
