I've always been taught not to have your money in the stock market if you need it within the next ten years. There are less risky investments, at that point.
Bringing down an aircraft is much different then overwhelming "electronic surveillance systems", especially since those sensors can be tuned to remove the interference, though in the process reducing efficacy.
I'd also imagine the IED jammers causing the "electromagnetic environment" problems are more complex than "a simple HAM radio". Maybe a very powerful and altered ham radio, but I would argue you would have to at least remove the simple qualifier.
While it says that with the Romans it was probably a myth, the Phoenicians could have possibly done it, since they had a cheap way to extract salt from seawater.
Another tidbit on the practice was that it was used up until the 17th century in Spain on traitors.
Almost twice as expensive, per-capita, as compared to any other system in the world, while leaving 40M people completely without coverage?
Citation please. This statistic could be distorted by the fact that we have the latest, most advanced healthcare technology available. Highly advanced technology usually comes at a higher cost.
If I want to mortgage my house to have the latest and greatest cancer treatment, at least that's my decision to make. With socialized healthcare it would be a cost-effectiveness analysis making the decision for me.
"Unlike other herd animals, humans will kill the thing hunting them, then kill its mate, cubs, and packmates."
He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes.
"I mean, who increased spending the most and the second most in the history of the United States?"
Obama and then Bush II.
"Who signed the bank bailout bill?"
Bush II after first meeting with President Elect Obama to ensure agreement, so as to not waste time by making a lameduck move that would immediately be reversed.
"So apparently it means 'liberal, but we don't like certain minorities.'"
I could act like a bigot and stereotype you, too.
"People who are constitutional conservatives are few and far between."
Or possibly they don't run in your political circles.
Do the rich have to pay their own hospital bills? Do the rich go live in shelters subsidized by tax payers? Do the rich usually put their kids in public education? Do the rich draw from social security? I just don't see how you can make the argument that the rich use more government services, unless you count tax collecting as a government service.
In fact, without government, the rich wouldn't be rich.
How do you figure? Granted there might be more unsavory characters after my riches, but who's to say I don't buy a standing army for protection? Hell, who's to say I'm not one of the unsavory characters going after others' riches?
If the rich don't like it, let them go someplace else.
...or they can work to change the system--the same way our laws have changed since the founding of the country.
"[...]the tax rates on those in top 5% were higher in 1940s-1980s[...]"
Citation please? What type of tax rate?
It wouldn't make a difference to me in the world if it was the marginal tax rate (not that it really matters to me anyways, since I'm not in the top 5%).
If it is, though, removal of lower income tax payers from the tax base could be the cause of the "higher tax rate" you cite.
It seems they hate the people without children more. I have to subsidize health insurance for their large families (any plan I've seen just has a "family" option, regardless of the number of dependents) and I do not get nearly as much time off.
"Stay late to meet that deadline--oh sorry, I wish I could, but I have to pick up my kid from daycare".
I'm only speaking out my ass here (what else is new on/.), but I thought the "terminator gene" just kept the plant from reproducing, which would conveniently keep said gene from spreading.
I completely agree with, but would take your argument one step further when talking about the poor investment choices on homes. It makes no sense to me why taxpayers in my state should be forced to artificially prop up home values in a poorly managed state, such as California?
700 complaints were filed over the course of a decade. Okay fine, but when you serve BILLIONS of cups of coffee within that same timeframe that number dwarfs in comparison. This comes to about 1 complaint in every 24 MILLION cups served. Hell, I bet a coffee drinker with no hands would have better odds of not burning themselves than this idiot woman, Stella Liebeck.
Slashdot Mirror
Even downtown, any company I have ever worked for has provided parking in an adjoining garage.
The hug is no less false than the stork. You don't even have to be face to face to make a baby.
Are you implying you must be face-to-face to hug?

...and yet they did all that with the BB Storm. Strange.
the F22 can be brought down by a simple HAM radio (reference Brittish Library Direct).

Ha, see we're not only the latest and greatest, we're more efficient, too!

Obligatory car analogy:
So it shouldn't be a crime to steal an unlocked car parked on the street?
It's not generally regarded sharing unless the owner grants the usage. These are some of the things we learn in kindergarten, if not before.

The GOP is 95% neocon now.
3:47 PM:
GOP = 100% Neocon.
Did that pesky 5% finally switch over?
I don't understand that. Why couldn't or wouldn't private companies use the same monopolistic tactics as corporations?
...or did you mean this definition?

That's where the "grid" in electrical grid comes in.
You know, the world in which everyone else spends less, per capita, on healthcare than the US while covering more people?
You know, we could give every person in the US a $1 medical voucher and easily fix this problem.
Seriously, though, this statistic of yours is meaningless.
Better yet, just make a twenty day waiting period before the chimps can have their rocks.
Only if they do something horrendous, extraordinarily.
I think it would be a more valid argument if the dealership, John Smith Toyota, buys the keywords Joe Blow Toyota.

Then what the hell do you call my birkenstocks and this hemp jacket!!!
complaints about temp filed more than once
