This could never happen with an analog monitor (i.e. vga) in the same way "accidentally" throwing your car into reverse in a manual transmission car is impossible, unlike the weekly stories we hear about people and their automatic cars plowing into buildings.
Of course having a crt monitor takes care of it all but who wants something which just works?
You mean that fantasy system which will fail likes its predecessors have against U.S. aircraft?
Anti-aircraft systems are generally the first thing gone after in any engagement. If the system can't see the aircraft (as in this case) it's nothing but a sitting duck.
Considering President Obama doesn't have a birth certificate, it would be difficult for him to release it.
He has a Certificate of Live Birth which is not the same as a Birth Certificate. It is a secondary document given out when the Birth Certificate is lost/stolen/destroyed/whatever.
I worked with a guy who was from Hawaii. He too lost his Birth Certificate and only had a Certificate of Live Birth. According to Republicans, he wasn't a U.S. citizen.
The only one trying to start a war is Russia with its attack on Ukraine and its continual threats against its smaller neighbors.
Putin ordered Russian troops into Ukraine to punish Ukraine for wanting closer ties to the West and now he is supporting the terrorists in the East of the country.
There's a reason no person or country seeking their freedom ever says, "I want to be like Russia!"
The current US administration has been caught spying in violation of the constutition.
Because the Bush administration was never caught spying in violation of the Constitution. Forget the whole PATRIOT Act or the administration forcing phone companies to install digital taps so the government could listen in on everyone's phone calls?
As soon as Bush and Cheney are swinging from the end of a noose I'll be more than happy to agree with your demand.
Simply finding the call centers and shutting them down won't be enough because the people behind them will open a new center in a short time.
Once these people are found they need to be put up against the wall and shot, like Sanford Wallace should have had done him.
Once you make it known this criminal activity will be dealt with in such a manner others will take pause to reconsider. If not, they'll follow in the footsteps of those before them.
It's not propaganda to say fat isn't beautiful. When people are walking around with waists larger than 50" weighing over 300 pounds and can barely life themselves up a single flight of stairs, that is obese. When you have kids less than 10 years of age weighing 100 pounds, that isn't healthy.
Just because other people choose to live a healthy lifestyle, which means a lean body, does not make them skeletal.
If you're still in equities, the smart thing would be to cash out while you still can.
No, the smart thing to do is buy more when equities go down. There's a reason Warren Buffet is as rich as he is and it's not solely because he runs an insurance company.
Constantly buying and selling stocks is a surefire way to underperform everyone else. Maybe for a short while you'll be ahead but in the long run you'll be behind, something numerous studies have shown to be true.
Of course this varies by region and demographics. To give an example, I came out of the grocery store behind a middle-aged white woman. She looked classy in her white slacks, strappy heels and light-beige top with white markings. Carried herself upright and walked confidently to her car carrying her one bag. A definite MILF.
Next to her waddled two younger black women (I'm guessing late 20s) whose literally could not contain themselves in their clothes. Muffin top doesn't go far enough. The woman behind the shopping cart was at least as wide as the cart itself, if not wider, slumped over shuffling along. The one beside her wasn't any better
I'm not trying to turn this into a racist thing because there are just as many obese white women in my area, I am only giving one data point to show the differences.
in favor of the self-funded 401k (which has seen SHIT returns in the last few years)
If you've been getting shit returns in your 401 then either a) your company chose the highest fee, lowest yield fund company it could find or b) you don't have a basic grasp of index fund allocation.
For the last 8 years I've been getting returns in excess of the theorized average for returns (8%) and haven't changed my allocations at any time except to sell one underperforming fund. As history shows, Democratic administrations are better for the stock market than Republican.
It's only illegal in the U.S. to use electronic means to jam cell or radio signals.
Physical blocks, such as Faraday cages, are perfectly legal otherwise nearly every business in the country would be in violation, especially those in older buildings which have an iron framework.
Just like George Bush expanded the size and intrusion of the government over the people via the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, Trump will blindly follow his lead and create an even larger, and more expensive, federal government while at the same time claiming he'll cut taxes to increase revenue.
While the article briefly mentions it, it is fascinating to note the process she has been claiming for years to be reliable, fast and needing only a prick of blood has been left out of the mix.
Nope, she's not going to go down that route and open up the scam she's been running, instead deflecting by pointing out, "Shiny!", never mind all that other stuff she's been lying about.
I wonder how many more investors will continue to pour their money down the black hole this women continues to more deeply dig.
Says the Russian troll from St. Petersburg, whose country has been attacking and invading its neighbors.
Funny how the U.S. is the bully when Russia repeatedly interferes in the internal affairs of its neighbors, sends its troops to invade and attack its neighbors and funds and supplies terrorist organizations on its neighbors soil to destabilize them.
It's even more funny when Russia complains it's being bullied while at the same time announcing how it might use nuclear weapons on its neighbors or how it's ramping up its military spending as well as increasing its cyber operations against its neighbors.
In an effort to extract more money from its drivers, the Uber cab company has been pushing them to use Uberpool where riders traveling to similar destinations are grouped together in the same vehicle.
This sounds great in theory, the Uber cab driver can carry more riders, but the downsides are several. First, the cab driver has to go out of their way to pick up the second (or third) rider, this leads to the second issue where the rider "experience" is degraded because the other riders might be undesirable in one way or another or their trip delayed because of picking up the other riders. This can lead to lower ratings for the cab driver, not to mention the cab driver gets fewer tips this way.
However, if an Uber cab driver refuses to accept rides using Uberpool they are penalized by the Uber cab company via "timeouts". The company prevents the cab driver from obtaining any other rides for up to 15 minutes.
As one researcher into how the Uber cab company operates via this method said, "You're saying to someone -- you're your own boss, but also go into the penalty box because you didn't behave in the way that we suggested you should."
It's always fun to watch people justify why they can steal someone's work and not have to pay for it.
"I'm so poor I can't afford to pay $1 per song", says the person with a $600, or more, PC.
"Meh, I wouldn't have bought it anyway," says the person who now has the very product they wouldn't have bought.
"Greedy capitalists. I'm sticking it to you by stealing because you make too much!" says the person who demands they be paid what they think they're worth.
And on and on. Excuse after excuse, even trotting out, "People who steal software/music/movies buy more" despite the obvious contradiction of the statement.
Even the fallacy, "it's not stealing, it's sharing" as if the person intends to return the product.
But whatever. There's always excuse for everything. So long as you can justify it in your own mind, that's all that matters, right?
I guess when I steal something you've created and don't pay you for it I can justify it however I like, right?
Maybe if you had read the Constitution you wouldn't be spouting such crap. The power starts in the Preamble:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Then there's Article 1, Section 1:
All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
In other words, Congress has been granted the power to pass legislation of any kind, which includes regulating things.
Then there's Section 7:
Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it.
Again, Congress passes legislation and the President approves or vetoes it. This includes regulating things.
Article 1, Section 8:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
The general welfare. In other words, the power to use taxes to inform people of the crap their ingesting or smoking to let them make an informed decision. It's also called regulation.
The last sentence of Section 8:
To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.
Can you read and understand what those words mean? Congress has the power to make any law it deems necessary for any department to carry out its duties. That includes regulation.
Want more? I can keep going. There's an entire document I can go through to keep showing how you're ill-informed and just plain wrong.
Seriously, making any sort of health claims about e-cigs was already illegal
Bullshit. The federal government has both the power and duty regulate such devices. If people choose to ignore the evidence that is their right as well. This has nothing to do with free market and everything to do with getting facts out to the people.
Further, if you want to go down the "control" path, that's fine. Don't control these things. At the same time I shouldn't have to pay for injuries or damages caused by people using these things by raising my insurance rates. They should be solely responsible for everything, free market and all that.
The same with my mandated health insurance tax. If smokers and vapers want to ignore the scientific evidence of how harmful both items are to their health that is their right but again, I shouldn't, nor should the government, have to pay for their medical bills.
Word rarely does what I want it to do so I've turned off most of the "help". Once we're forced to upgrade to this crap this will be more cruft to disable.
I can't wait to hear from our users when they whine about not being able to get their work done because Word is trying to be "helpful".
Richard Armitage was not the source of the leak, Dick Cheney was. We know this because Libby's own notes stated he, Libby, learned Plame was an undercover CIA agent from Dick Cheney.
The reason Libby was convicted was because he lied under oath, not because he was the one who outed Plame.
Further, no one, despite what Bush said, was ever held accountable for outing an undercover CIA agent. None.
How many other agents had their covers blown because of their association with Plame? How many may have died because of Cheney's political vindictiveness? Talk about a breach of national security.

So fast.
So clean.
So awesome.
So Doge.
Wow, I hope we'll be able to organize a clean-up party in the next 170 years, before the waste starts to be exposed!
Based on past reactions to known situations of looming environmental catastrophes, this appears highly unlikely.
You want to trade the view of an historic ship for a view of New Jersey? Talk about an eyesore!

You're thinking of the Fox tabloid. Al-Jazeera is closer to the BBC in quality of stories and in-depth reporting.
False analogy. You were paying so others couldn't have your number. The phone company still had it but never listened in even if they could.
Comcast still has your service but now they want you to pay them not to see what you're doing.
Personally, if they want to see all the gay, feces-lade porn I watch every night I'd love to see what their snooping logs will show to advertisers.

A recent survey found 40% of American women are now obese.
Of course this varies by region and demographics. To give an example, I came out of the grocery store behind a middle-aged white woman. She looked classy in her white slacks, strappy heels and light-beige top with white markings. Carried herself upright and walked confidently to her car carrying her one bag. A definite MILF.
Next to her waddled two younger black women (I'm guessing late 20s) whose literally could not contain themselves in their clothes. Muffin top doesn't go far enough. The woman behind the shopping cart was at least as wide as the cart itself, if not wider, slumped over shuffling along. The one beside her wasn't any better
