It's actually a little smaller than a mini cooper. It still outmasses all the other rovers put together though and is the biggest single thing we've ever landed there.
Or is Canadian. Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars here are all copper or nickel plated steel, the loonie is bronze plated nickel, and the toonie is nickel with a copper centre.
5th Amendment to our *Federal* constitution. The 5th Amendment might prevent an FBI agent from going through your cell phone with a warrent. State and City Police might have completely different rules which is the whole reason there are three states which allow this sort of thing.
Don't like it? Help support someone in your local politics who promises to change it!
I'll take it you haven't heard of the 14th amendment?
the ban only took effect in 1996 (phasing out was started in 1991), with some CFCs (CFC-13, 111, 112, various halon variants, etc.) only getting fully eliminated last year.
The issue is that CFCs are very long lived. It takes decades for them to break down. We won't really start seeing the effect of the bans on the ozone layer for another 20-30 years. Until then, we just have to deal with it.
Great. We just need to have it happen 49 more times and then the entire country might have gotten a clue and implemented something vaguely resembling proper security.
1. Satellite? Seriously? Have you ever looked at what satellite ISPs offer? Expensive, slower, high latency, and with capping and throttling worse than any terestrial ISP.
2. Yes, and both DSL and cable ISPs operate on near-identical capping and throttling polices.
3. Dial up? Have you used dial up in the past decade? I used dial up until 4 years ago. It is not an acceptable option.
We are making an attempt to correct policies we don't like via regulation, but apparently that is not an acceptable course of action for a market ideologue.
Wireless is a competitive market so carriers are permitted to do what they want with the presumption that if the customer doesn't like it they'll go to another vendor.
Yep, locked phones, multi-year contracts with punitive termination fees, incompatible networks, rampant collusion in pricing and services. Real vicious competition there.
2. Small number of relevantly large carriers, levels of collusion that would get them ripped into little pieces somewhere where regulatory capture wasn't the order of the day, long term contracts with punitive fees for early termination, lack of mobility between carriers due to SIM locks and CSIM-less CDMA network implementations, etc.
Note that most of the provinces are the size of multiple US states [1], so crossing provincial boundaries for care is relatively uncommon outside of certain specialties (e.g. pediatric cancers and other rare conditions). Patients are commonly transfered from this city's (30k population) hospital to the relatively nearby larger city (180k), but you're still in the same province. In the US, you'd almost certainly have moved states.
You may have a level 1 trauma centre that covers 5 states, so crossing state lines for care becomes a regular occurrence, and things get messy with respect to billing, funding, etc.
[1] Saskatchewan and Alberta are each about the size of Texas. BC is half again that big, and you could fit two of Texas into Quebec with enough room leftover to store Illinois. You could fit most of New England into New Brunswick or Nova Scotia (our 2 smallest provinces, other than PEI, which is a little bigger than Rhode Island).
See : idiotically design ballot and what I can only presume is deliberate incompetence due to the inability to create a machine to reliably punch holes in paper.
I'm partial to the system used in Canada: fill-in-the-bubble paper ballots (like multiple choice exams). This gives a clear paper trail, and can be counted by machines if you want to go faster.
fill in? you draw an X in the appropriate bubble.
though our ballots would require something interesting to work with the US system of voting for president/vice-president/house/senate/state governor/state house/state senate/mayor/city counsel/district attorney/judges/police chief/dogcatcher/etc. all on the same day.
You'd need a booklet of ballots or a large sheet with multiple ballots on it or something.
Around here, we vote for 5 people (mayor, 2 aldermen, provincial Legislature, federal Parliament), and the elections typically aren't even in the same year.
Oh and treat the election like this, this is a job interview and you are the boss. Grill them and then pick.
Problem is that, like too much of the business world, the applicants are pre-screened by the HR dept, who have no clue what the job qualifications and specifications mean.
Seating may not be better, but the air will be at least. Higher air pressure, higher humidity, dedicated intake compressors, and sophisticated filtering.

They're already got http://depiraatbaai.be/ set up.
Opposing piston engines are hardly new and they scale up just fine. The Balao, Tang, and Barbel class submarines used such engines.

Do you know where Iqaluit is?
It's about 600 miles or so to the nearest major city and on an island too.
Landlines are decidedly impractical.

What we are "supposed to do" is just wait.

The only car that this kind of backup tapes belong in is an armoured one.
Since when do they store HIPAA-related data and NOT encrypt it in the tables or wherever.
When it is profitable to do so.

Paper doesn't get lost en masse and it's harder to mine and manipulate on wholesale levels.
Right, it would be impossible for idiotic companies to make a photocopy of records for backup purposes, then lose them due to braindead handling.

We could always loan you a New Democrat.
0. Yes.

Left unattended, non-emergencies (Barring temporary things that will fix themselves) tend to become emergencies.
What other option is there according to Ron Paul?
The usual libertarian answer : charities. He specifically mentioned churches.

Paul said no, but the screaming nuts in the audience certainly said yes.
Imagine, for example, a "Buy American Act" in which the government mandated that we buy American-made cars or pay an additional tax.
You mean like an impost (a tax on imports), which is explicitly stated in the enumerated powers of congress?
See 2000 recount efforts.

Nevermind pounds, I've seen a samsung android phone on sale for $70, and that's without a contract.
