"I challenge you to name one thing that requires government spending that hasn't been debated off and on over the years. Oh, the massive Department of Defense spending, right, for some reason nobody debates that ballooning military industrial complex and that's about it"
Umm, liberals and others rally against.mil/DOD spending all the time. You are doing it right now.
The alternative, decreasing the right-wing screech machine so that the government could just let some in-house developer bang out an app for a request that somebody needs, won't even be considered as an option.
And the left-wing, apparently, won't consider getting rid of OSHA altogether; let alone NOT making pointless fucking phone apps for no one to use.
"If you were willing to pay an unlimited amount for power you could do solar and wind. Nuclear, Coal, and gas could all be replaced if people were willing to pay more, a lot more."
I wouldn't be so sure about wind power being a possibility, even with unlimited cash.
Current technology results in less than 1 watt per sq meter. You would need 600 sq miles of wind turbines to net 1000 MW.
ummm... Not only does the whole document outline the powers specifically granted to the Fed.gov, it also has that pesky 10th amendment that grants any powers not expressly granted to the Feds to the states and people.
So, you do not understand the Constitutional limits of the Government? If 74% of the population voted that we should be able to own slaves, you think the Gov't should enforce that? We do NOT live in a democracy (mob rule) we live in a Republic (law rules.) And as such, the powers of what the Gov't can do are limited by law, and not what the people vote.
In the American system, Government does not have any 'rights.' Rights are affirmed by the gov't, granted by God. The gov't has responsibilities that it must do, and it has restrictions on what it can do. Anything not expressly regulated to the gov't is for the People to do.
I don't think muni internet falls into any of the Constitutional requirements or powers granted to the gov't by the people.
This is the most horrible news of my day, my roomate who plays only tiger and madden was pumped for this feature. We played split-screen co-op on Halo and it was awesome, the only thing it needed was LAN co-op, just with 2 people... no reason for more. Full Spectrum Warrior does co-op over Live (but not over LAN) so why can't Halo2 !?!?!?!

a) WTF does the NRA have to do with anything? If you are looking for freedom, the citizens with guns are generally behind you.
b) The GOP? It was Obama's DOJ and FBI that applied all the force to Megaupload.
This isn't as simple as Rednecks vs Liberals.
Just like energy, which cannot be created or destroyed; the .gov cannot "create" something that benefits more people than the required taxing harms.

The Apollo program never happened.
Stanley Kubrick faked it. He later admitted his involvment using the film "The Shining" as his medium.

The aren't using your physical phone to send the SMS/Calls. They are only using your phone's identity.
Ahh, funny you mention the Pinto.
It was no more fire prone than any other car at the time.
The Pinto also had lower Fatality rates than similar cars of the era.

Because I could give two shits less about what some private company does with their private money.
My governement, spending my money does peek my interest.
Sure, when it comes to lulz, they give no fuck what happens to whom.
But I don't think Anon has ever done anything that has caused serious physical harm to anyone.
Or maybe they don't want their antics to get some non-Anon to get killed because the cartel thought they were involved in the attack.
If you don't like the job (and evertyhing that comes with it), go work somewhere else.
Employment should be entirely voluntary on that parts of the employee and the employer.
The .gov should stay out of all voluntary arangements between two or more grown adults.
Yes, wireless fan ctronllers for BBQ do already exist. But it can be more complicated than if temp X then power fan on.
They can do temp curves, different speeds, and even have it run at this temp for X minutes then raise to temp Y then keep warm at temp Z

To be fair, a Cadbury Egg McFlurry is a damn good reason to go into a British McDonalds.
... or you could just use a web interface. Then you could get to it on the ipad, ipad2, iphone, iphone5, Xoom, laptop, netbook, boxee browser, etc.

Why do they show you the "top 5 searches" ???
And how many times does "38 w 45th st new york, ny 10036" need to check what the .gov thinks his internet speed is?
Privacy Flaws In Chatroulette Expose Users? No... I am pretty sure the users expose themselves. (mod me redundant.)
Well, that explains why my mouse Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Please, review your copy of the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8: "To establish post offices and post roads"
