is that BttF involves the Grandfather Paradox, but BttF2 seems to be a time travel tale of the alternate timeline variety. If time travel creates alternate timelines, then the Grandfather Paradox doesn't occur.
if the restrictions only apply to those service providers accepting the funding, you get "net neutrality for some". The goal should be "net neutrality for all".
Sometimes it's cringe-inducing. But I liked Sheldon's variation on rock/paper/scissors. To make it more interesting there were five choices, the two additional being lizard and Spock. For example, lizard poisons Spock; Spock disproves paper; etc.
Since when does liberal == big government? You are falling for a canard that's been pushed by right-wingers (not conservatives, by the way) for over a quarter of a century. I'm a 70s liberal who never in his life favored "big government" and never subscribed to the attempt to redefine the word "liberal".
Here's something you could read about who "big government" is.
I concede the point that corporations should have certain rights. I definitely overstated the case by trying to put my thought into a simple aphorism. But where liberals and libertarians diverge is that liberals don't believe corporate interests should trump individual interests. Yet if you have any regulation designed to prevent such a thing from happening, libertarians will jump all over this as interference with the sacred "free market".
In my original point, I was arguing against GGP's assertion that libertarians were somehow outside the traditional classifications. More often than not, when forced to choose between major parties they will align with Republicans, and thus with right-wing philosophies, in spite of their otherwise liberal inclinations. Some may not see a contradiction in such a position. I do.
Let's have a libertarian utopia in some alternate universe, and put all the libertarians there. You and I will stay in this one so we can continue to eat in restaurants that have to meet health codes.
Lenders aren't eager to make bad loans, normally. The only "encouragement" has been the ability to securitize those loans in a way that conceals the risk. Most of the buyers of those securities had no idea of their true value (or lack thereof). And thus the house of cards was built.

I wouldn't call them that. They take the liberal point of view that people should have rights, and augment it with the right-wing point of view that corporations should have rights. In other words, they want it both ways.
I think I can get behind the program detailed here. Yes, there are a couple of minor points there that I don't endorse, but on net neutrality, patent reform, and a host of other issues, he's a whole lot better (and far more knowledgeable) than McCain.
Like many politicians, he jumped on the post-9/11 hawkishness fad because it boosted approval ratings so conveniently. The trouble with that is it's like a crack addiction, and those who supported the PATRIOT act, Iraq invasion and occupation, Gitmo, and torture found it impossible to backtrack (John Edwards being a notable exception).
He said "fallen" people...I see in my dictionary that the relevant definition of "fall" is "to drop down wounded or dead". Are you saying he could not have seen wounded soldiers in the audience?
That's a rather asinine meme you've fallen for there!

But Bush was widely known by the nickname Dubya (W). Obama's campaign logo featured the O prominently.
"snot good enough for the feds"? I thought we were talking about wiping hard drives, not noses.

If you look carefully that's a Greek theta in his last name, so the correct transliteration is Malthw.
Makes perfect sense...because nothing depends on the Gregorian calendar like music.
You're letting facts get in the way of a perfectly good troll -- shame on you!

One doesn't have to cite a completely free market to demonstrate a need for regulation. One could just cite an instance where deregulation failed.

Isn't that a Slaver Sunflower?
...is there nothing it can't do?
Meteoroid/meteor: Any of the small solid extraterrestrial bodies that hits the earth's atmosphere
No, hitting the atmosphere is what distinguishes meteors from meteoroids.
IEEE Spectrum covered these conversions months ago.
Why not a Junior Mint? It's peppermint, it's chocolate, it's delicious!
This algorithm takes care of that:

NextVolumePassword = EnhancedInterrogation.output;
if ( Subject.dead ) throw EndInterrogationException;
NewVolume = MountNextVolume( NextVolumePassword );
cd NewVolume;
VolumeSize = GetVolumeSize;
} while ( VolumeSize > 0 )

you're unconcerned about your chosen candidate's intellect, honesty, and judgement
Hardly. I chose my candidate based on exactly those factors. It was OP who has a stated preference for focusing on slips of the tongue.
Wow, you're concerned about things far more important than actual issues. That's real citizenship!
