The Founding Fathers had no love of power being concentrated in any one group's hands, without some competing group be able to balance it out, and check it if necessary. In their vision, the only part of the entire Federal government that was directly elected was the House of Representatives. Senators were chosen by the States, the President by the Electoral College, and the Supreme Court by the President with the approval of the Senate.
Oh bullshit. There's nothing "truly intelligent" about backing people like Trump or Jeremy Corbyn. It's pure gut-level reactionarism. As to the will of the people of the UK, it was mad attack against Westminster which will do nothing but damage the fortunes of Britain, likely leading to the loss of Scotland, and maybe Northern Ireland in the process. It was stupidity of the highest degree and ably demonstrates the US Founding Fathers' deep distrust of unimpeded democracy.
For fuck's sakes, within a few days over a million people, basically the margin by which Leave won, regretted their decision.
So however you try to justify these attacks on the "establishment" (by which one generally means the intricate balancing of interests and powers that allows governments and societies to actually function), "intelligent" simply is not a valid description. Pettiness, arrogance and stupidity are the words I would use to describe it; large numbers of cranky, ignorant people lashing out without understanding and totally fucking themselves up in the process.
At least in the US it looks like Trump is doomed, which ought to forever end the British view of American politics as some sort of chaotic free-for-all. The colonies really have figured out how to suppress the lunacy of the mob
This is science journalism, so that means absurdly hyperbolic articles written by idiots that fancy themselves "science journalists". Generally, they're fucking retards who know nothing about science, but are bound by one rule, sex everything up. Science "journalism" is one of the lowest forms of journalism there is. TMZ has better journalism than science "journalism". I ignore science "journalism", because it's usually worse than wrong.
I've seen it infect shared drives. Anywhere anyone has read/write permissions, the trojan can do its dirty deeds. You need to have good backups at the very least. The one incident I saw a few months ago managed to get through quite a few files on a couple of shares, but the only loss was a few documents as the nightly backup was up to date.
Mind you, the real trick can be figuring out which workstation has been infected. While some organizations may be able to reimage everything, for some, they don't have that capacity.
Why would a new referendum require such a large amount of approval. This is a re-do. If Leave is so certain of itself, how can it fear another referendum?
And yet legislatures themselves, and in particular the British Parliament, are not bound by majority votes. No Parliament can constrain a future Parliament, or so the saying goes.
So if the politicians get the do-overs if a sufficient number of them want to bring it to the floor, why is an electorate not afforded the same right? Particularly as this was such a close call, and now the Leave camp is basically abandoning several of the promises they had made, such as the massive infusions of cash into the NHS (which Farage disparaged within hours of the counting being done), or even of a drop in immigration (mainly because Britain needs it). Surely, a second round of voting on something as monumental as departure from the EU, with the vast and in many ways unknowable ramifications, shouldn't just be left up to a 2% margin.
What would Leave be afraid of? If the support is so overwhelming, then a second referendum couldn't possibly turn out differently... Right?
No, where it's failed is in actually getting enough people to buy it to make the development, manufacturing and marketing worth the effort. You can try to spin this any way you like, but the Surface line is a complete failure, right up there with Windows Phone.
These conversations about Surface remind me a lot of the kind of fanboism that surrounds Blackberry. The same wishful thinking, the same insistence that someone's personal (and anecdotal) successes with the device must somehow represent some counter to the fact that the devices themselves are just not selling.
I don't think the Brexiters thought it would happen either. For Boris Johnson, this was about moving in to Number 10. Now suddenly he's the most likely leader of a sinking ship.
And Germany has made it clear. There will be no new negotiations, so this underlying notion that Britain could enter new negotiations with a mandate to leave if they didn't produce better results has been thrown out the door. The EU simply cannot afford to legitimize the Euroskeptics elsewhere on the Continent, so Britain will be punished in due course.
But it isn't that straightforward. This new independence vote would literally be asking the Scots to create a controlled border between Scotland and England, where Scots would need passports or visas to cross and to work. As much as Scotland may be overall pro-EU (though a significant minority voted to Leave), Scotland is also deeply integrated into the UK economy, and independence would mean Scotland would have to at least partially extract itself from a three century old economic as well as political union. I don't think an independence referendum has a foregone conclusion.
One third of Scottish voters voted to Leave, so let's not pretend that Scotland is homogeneously pro-EU, and it means a second independence referendum, even with Brexit on the horizon, is going to be straightforwad.
What I liked about Altavista is you could do some fine tuning of the queries with + or - to filter results. But it still didn't have that large a database of sites. It wasn't until Google began to take off that you could get the depth of search results.
No, as others point out, this will almost inevitably be a variant of Android. With Blackberry clearly approaching the stage of abandoning its BB OS, and Windows Phone going nowhere, there are only going to be two mobile OSs for the foreseeable future; iOS and various shades of Android.
This whole fucking thing started with name calling, so the idea that you can take the highroad after you've been swimming in the sewage lagoon is laughable.
And conservatives never have lunatics who go around making overly broad and hasty generalizations because they don't have the wits to make a nuanced and sensible argument.
Let's try it this way. A person who had self-radicalized, in what appears to at least be in part as a reaction to his own homosexuality, targeted a gay club (as in a club that was well known in Orlando as being frequented by gay people, and by all accounts was marketed that way), decided to kill a large number of people in that club because of their sexuality and because what his religious beliefs taught him must be done.
Gay people were targeted because they were gay by a self-loathing homosexual.
There's never any historical context to these bitch sessions against Google. Prior to services like Yahoo and Google, searching the Internet could be a very difficult and frustrating experience. The idea that somehow Google is some sort of blacklist is absurd, because prior to Google, there were a lot more sites that were not easy to find. I remember the early days with services like Altavista and Webcrawler, which, while better than nothing, were not very good at all. Hell, I remember in the pre-web days when Archie and Veronica were the best you had for searching.
The Internet does not need Google. Anyways is free to set up their own search engines.
Don't be fucking absurd. There are numerous gay clubs and bars in the world that identify as such. Jesus fucking christ, the efforts some people go to try to deny that this was a homophobic attack.

Politics in the English-speaking world is just devolving into a long winded bunch of mad rants.
I think you answered your own question.

If a large enough fraction of any electorate wants a do-over on a referendum, then why not? Why does this have to be a winner-take-all scenario?

In other words, you're a fucking moron who doesn't even know what "left" means.
Yes, I imagine that is representative of many Brexiters.

Well not when they're getting $1700 they didn't earn they sure don't.
"Aw jeez, you wants your money back, goes to that guy over there."
What there should be is a fine equal to 500 times the mistake. I would suggest there would be far fewer of them.
This is why you go to the police and report a theft.
By "richer" you mean smaller. I was there back then, and these search engines didn't have nearly the number of results that even Bing does now.

Because Conservatives never go around trying to ban things...
