Compulsory voting tends to favor the incumbent. Besides, if you're too fucking lazy to make sure you're registered and come down to a poll, who the fuck cares what you think anyways.
You had it easy! In my day, we had vote with our brain matter. Me old dad would drop us on our 'eads 'til our skulls cracked open and would scrawl an X on the ballot with our gray matter.
As critical as I am of Apple on occasion, I see this as a smart idea. Staying limber by making sure your kernel and toolset can compile on multiple platforms only makes sense. It's a wonder that, four decades after Unix lead the path to portability, now commercial outfits like Apple and Microsoft are seeing the value as well (well, to be fair, MS saw the value back in the early 1990s but guys like DEC and MIPS priced their stuff into the stratosphere thus guaranteeing x86's continued dominance).
An airline going down the tubes is not the same thing as a major industrial manufacturing giant representing a significant fraction of the US's industrial capacity being allowed to collapse. And maybe any other Administration would have done the same, so at the very least Obama didn't bugger it up.
The fact is the US is doing alright. Considering most of the economic problems stem from the Eurozone (which seems in perpetual crisis now), I think history will show that, as much as he could, Obama steered the ship of state away from the rocks while achieving at least one longstanding Democratic goal. He certainly had little enough help from the republicans who have been so overawed with the Tea Party that they almost let the US slide into literal bankruptcy as part of some bizarre ideological game of chicken.
I'm thinking the problem will soon become apparent. Microsoft doesn't know what tablets are for, and thus is trying to turn tablets into notebooks.
I can buy a notebook that will kick Surface's ass from here to next Tuesday, with storage like ten times as great, far better horsepower and a much more usable Office for less than Surface.
Again, Microsoft is trying to up an iPad in the same that adding wings to car would be trying to get one up on a Chevy.
And WTF do I need Office on a tablet for? That's why my notebook and PC are for, and in a pinch my netbook. As long as I can view Office documents and write out the odd note, I can't imagine any reason at all that I would want to use my tablet for that purpose.
You're killer feature is a killer feature in great want of a purpose. Typical Microsoft. If they built a car, they'd put wings and a propeller on it. "But it won't fly a tenth as good as a real airplane." "It doesn't matter. It's got fucking wings. It's sooooo much better than the competitors car. Buy Microsoft, buy wings!!!!!"
If any of that makes you feel better, believe it. But somehow you seem a smart enough guy to realize that Obama is going to take somewhere around 290 Electoral College votes.
The 1972 race saw Nixon win by the largest margin of the popular vote in US history; 60.7% against McGovern's 37.5%. Nixon carried a whopping 49 states.
Obviously this race will be far closer, but I think it will likely fall within the usual bounds; Obama with a few points up on the popular vote and somewhere around 290 Electoral College votes. No landslide, but certainly respectable.
Yes, a government that won't allow the US repudiate its debt, that continued and expanded programs that saved some of the United States' largest manufacturing jobs from disappearing, a government who is actually seeing some modest improvements in the domestic economy even as the Eurozone drags the global economy down the tubes.
Yes I actually believe he was fired for being a dick and that some religious groups, just like you, are dishonestly trying to make it look like persecution.
They tolerate Behe at Lehigh University. He does his job, and does not misuse his academic position to further his private aims within the confines of the University. Firing him because of his belief in ID would be wrong.
Heavy use if fragrances is as much a disturbance as pushing your religion on coworkers. There are jus some people who seem to refuse to understand that there are boundaries that one should live within in any social group.
If he was fired simply for his personal belief in ID, that would be discrimination. But he wasn't, he was fired for repeatedly harassing staff. Again, you do not have a right to proselytize at your place of work.
It wasn't his personal religious beliefs, it was the fact he wouldn't keep them personal. No employee, not even a government employee has an absolute right to proselytize at work. You are requires to maintain standards of decorum and behaviour, and if there are repeated complaints by coworkers and warnings from management you will likely end up being fired.
Qemu comes with tools to change the formats of disk images. Use dd to create a raw file, then convert to whatever format required. I've used Qemu to convert VMware images for use in KVM.

The United States is a federal republic. What you're talking about is repudiating the whole underlying superstructure of the US.
A good many of the intentions of the Founding Fathers were wiped out in the Civil War. It strikes me as odd to complain about it now.

If the rumors are already out there, it means the kernel has been compiled for ARM already.
Five million bucks won't keep you for life unless your very prudent.
I run Windows guests on Linux hosts. I cannot imagine any reason I would want to flip that around.

Sure sounds like a Windows product.

There will still be plenty of Ryan's cohorts in Congress after tomorrow, so don't get your hopes up too high.
Yes yes yes. Voters are simpering morons, except for you, and it's never the loser's fault.
Worse than what? Please tell me exactly what McCain would have done differently?
