Youths have always been mostly liberal. It takes a while to realize that giving people free stuff doesn't actually help them, it just makes them dependent on free stuff.
Also, there are people who are allergic to bee stings (many don't even know it until they get stung). Should we ban bees?
Flowering plants attract bees - maybe those should be banned too.
There are people who are lactose intolerant - ban milk?
There are people who are allergic to glucose - ban wheat?
There will be no fuel cost savings for consumers if everyone has higher MPG vehicles. In many states taxes on fuel is what pays for road maintenance (after the politicians take their cut of course). If average MPG goes up, so must the tax rate on fuel just to be able to maintain the roads at the same level.
Whatever happens, rest assured that you will pay more for less.
And with electric vehicles you have the grid problem (generation, transmission and storage of electrical energy are all very inefficient), and you will of course have to tax electricity to pay for the roads. This increases the usage cost of *all* your electric devices.
BTW, I can't help but laugh when people try to describe an electric vehicles efficiency in MPG. Electricity is not measured in gallons. If you want to compare them that way you would have to use a generator. But if you did that the electrics would get far less MPG that your average car on the road today.
The M.O. of the Neo Cons is that any scary thing they can dream up, must also have been dreamed up by our enemies... and so therefore it is being actively worked on by our enemies... so we must actively work on a solution to counter it.
So to sum up:
1) make up something that sounds plausible.
2) ??
3) Profit!
Although in this case, step 2 is "spread fear to obtain funding".
Um, how about using your favorite search engine to look for things like "wayne county corruption" or "detroit corruption". *All* of the involved in those cases are Democrats.
So get your head out of your ass - some (not all) people who achieve some level of power in politics tend to abuse that power. It doesn't matter what side of the aisle they sit on, but each of the SOBs should be tarred and feathered!
According to the BBC documentary "The Power of Nightmares", both the neo conservatives and the muslem brotherhood formed out of the belief that the United States in the 1950s was on the verge of becoming morally bankrupt. The neocons decided the best course of action was to unify the country (and the world) in a fight between "good" and "evil". The muslem brotherhood decided the best course of action was to create a nation (and eventually the world) ruled by the law as defined in the Koran. The US is as divided as ever now; and every time the muslem brotherhood makes progress they end up killing each other because of different interpretations of the Koran.
The only mention of ownership in the article was the comment by his mother which said it was his computer. I believe the summary is based on the article, so the summary is wrong. If the summary is somehow correct, then a better article should have been cited.
No, that's not it. Universities are itching to admit minorities so they can show how diverse their students are. The bar for admission is lower and scholarships are readily available if you are a minority.
The real reason behind the cycle of poverty is that people trying to get ahead by doing well in school are bullied for it. The folks that think they are too stupid to succeed try to bring down those around them so they can feel superior. This "thug" mentality manifests itself in very different ways in schools up on the hill vs schools in the ghetto.
There is no easy solution. Throwing money at the problem just creates a dependency, but doesn't do anything but redistribute wealth. Nothing improves because that wealth is either taken by corrupt officials or ends up being used on frivolous purchases.
No one likes to accept blame, and blaming people that look different is easy. The kids learn to blame their own issues on others, who then pass that on to their kids. The cycle continues.
No. The animal rights groups were told not to launch it and they did anyway.
So it is more like you were told not to film at the nude beach, you started to film anyway, and then your equipment was damaged.
If someone has broken into your house and you fire your shotgun at them because you felt threatened, and part of the blast injures someone walking by on the side walk, the burglar is liable for the pedestrians injury (the first crime caused the second). At least, this is the case in Michigan, and it has already been tested in the courts.
Is there really a difference between using incendiary bombs to burn a city to the ground (Tokyo), and using the atomic bomb (not to be confused with a nuclear bomb)? And we also dropped leaflets prior to the atomics to warn the residents to leave prior to the attacks, so I think "targeting civilians" is an exaggeration. Also, it is wrong to try to comprehend historical acts of war using modern day concepts of morality.
<sarcasm>
Yes, and those damn programmers have way too much power over what our software applications do... aren't they just writing their own job security by writing all that complex software? Why don't they put everything I need in the first version so I don't have to buy it year after year? </sarcasm>
The popular vote is irrelevant. The US is a representative democracy. In presidential elections, voters registered in their state of residence are voting for the electors to represent their state.
Voting is a responsibility. If you vote (or decide not to vote) for a candidate based on whether you think they have a chance of winning or not, you are voting irresponsibly; which makes you part of the problem.
We use puzzles... not to see if a candidate is good at puzzles... but to see how they respond to frustration, and to get a feel for how it will be to work with this person under frustrating conditions. For large software projects you need people who can work together and cope with conflicting requirements. The lone coder in the basement who can't work with others is only good for small well-defined projects.
Killing all the butterflies in China will just stop some tropical storms in the Western Hemisphere. We need to get all the good ole Texas butterflies to flap there wings in unison, creating one large super hurricane in China.
Maybe because adding a linux client creates yet another column on the testing matrix, and it costs time and money to do that testing; and then of course time and money to fix any problems, etc. And that is assuming only 1 particular distribution/version of linux on 1 particular architecture with 1 particular window manager/desktop environment. When most companies say "supported", that generally means "tested" to some degree.
I don't think beating your wife is either a privilege or a right. And its probably not public enough to warrant TSAs involvement. But if that's what you're into, you may find yourself getting groped by your cell mate after you're put away.
Now, going to the movie theater... well I'm sure the MPAA would like to see you get groped first. And that means more TSA jobs so I'm sure they would be happy do it.
A crowded restaurant... yep, that's a groping... unless maybe you made reservations far enough in advance that they had time to do a background check... but then again, maybe you're not really the one who made the reservation... better grope you anyway.
Want to enter a public park? please assume the position.
Hmm, for some reason the Boston Tea Party comes to mind. A bunch of people destroying something that wasn't theirs; but in that case it was to protest the new tea tax. With modern media, it might have looked a bit like these riots. Although the history books don't mention anything about folks grabbing tea for themselves... just dumping it in the harbor.

You wouldn't want to use this against a terrorist compound since it would also likely destroy valuable intelligence data.

FLAC can also be better than CD quality (44.1 Khz/16 bit).
I record at 48Khz/24 bit and compress them to flac for disk storage.

Oops, misread parent post. Yes, it was speculation that GPS spoofing was involved.
And the US asked for it back

So ... Google+ is more exclusive that Facebook ... wasn't that what the Winklevoss twins wanted HarvardBook to be? I wonder if they will sue Google.
