Anything else you traded that showed gains like oil would have you celebrating. So why is high oil value perceived as such a catastrophe?
Mostly because it's something everyone relies on. There was the same deal with housing. If it were some luxury good, people probably wouldn't be making such a stink about it.
That is SO bullshit. If you're travelling less than 4 hours by air, you're quicker to take a train in any place that has a modern transit system (like europe), because of the hassles at the terminals, etc.
Direct path from Paris to Avignon is just over 350 miles. This took me just under 3 hours by TGV. Adding half an hour for terminal delay brings the total to 3.5 hours.
Direct path from ORD to RDU is about 650 miles. This is two hours in the air. Adding 1.5 hours of terminal delay (on the long side, in my experience), this is 3.5 hours of travel to go almost twice as far.
Maybe you ought to shorten your "4 hours by air" claim.
Surely that would solve the interference problem too?
It'll solve the interference problem, but if BPL noise is the normal state of things, you won't have many hams left.
...on that note, I'm wondering how many hams have an aggregate to power their equipment.
In my case, I've just got my car (battery/alternator) for backup power, but I've seen a few stations with dedicated generators. In the realm of emergency communication, most of the check-ins I hear on the weekly Houghton Co, MI net are on "emergency power" (battery/generator) just to make sure everything's working right, and IIRC the Lake Co, IL EOC has its own backup generators.
Just a national net-nanny system. If that's what they want, then I say we apply the live and let live to them as a group and say great - more power to you.
You mean, "if that's what they _all_ want," yes? Otherwise, a policy like this runs counter to the "live and let live" idea.
Now D&D 4E is over $100 for the PHB/DMG/MM basic set (no pun intended), though of course you can find it online for cheaper. Yet no one seems to be complaining.
... Where've you been? I've heard a lot of complaints about paying for everything again, especially after all the 3.5 supplements/accessories people have bought.
How about instead of using your own name, you gather a list of the politicians who are the most hard-line with regard to the registry (e.g. once accused, always registered), and select a few of them at random. Much less risk to you, and it will certainly create a ruckus over it.
What Pystar needs to do, then, is find a way to alter the install process so that the EULA is never displayed, maybe run the installer in a virtual machine that skips over the EULA screen. Without the clicking "yes" on the license (which doesn't give anything to the end user anyway) the user is free to run the software, as noted here.
The duration of the yellow light should be a function of those factors, but as long as it has been set reasonably, it should not be a concern for you, the driver.
That's very nice and all, but the whole point of TFA is that the duration of the yellow light is being unreasonably set. Even if you can't stop before you enter the intersection, you still may not have enough time to get through the intersection either.
Blueray looks fine on old 60cm CRT PAL TVs (I've tried it). Sure, the resolution isn't upped at all, but you still get nice things like Java interactive menus, online stuff (if your into all that of course) and more content on a single disc. It certainly looks no worse than DVD, more or less the same.
You're missing GP's point though. The big selling point of BluRay (high-definition video) is meaningless unless you have an HDTV. Picture quality on the TVs most people have is, as you observed, about the same either way.
The two Blueray movies I have watched look absolutely stunning plugged into a $300 22" Samsung SyncMaster 226bw. Of course you'd need a real HD TV to watch it with more than 2 friends, but the idea that you can't enjoy 1080p (or 1050 pixels of that in the case of the SyncMaster) without spending $2k is simply ignorant.
Or I can spend $0 on equipment and continue watching regular DVDs with the TV/player I already have. $300 is about equal to my monthly upkeep cost, to put things in perspective.
You most certainly can wave your rights. Consider non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements, etc. It's also not unheard of for an agreement to involve waiving one's right to sue before a court/jury.
I think the more interesting question is who's not reading the rules. Pwning a box in 2 minutes sounds pretty crazy, but how long does it take to direct someone to a malicious web site you've created beforehand? Of course, either way leaves me hanging until the patch comes out.

I wouldn't have so much trouble with letting people keep their own beliefs if they didn't make public policy decisions based on those beliefs.

Aside from your claim about results, which has already been discussed, you should note that the reason private schools cost less on average is that most are subsidized by churches. Private schools without such support cost slightly more per student than public eduction.

It is quite possible, however, to give up freedom and still get no safety in exchange.
Yeah, nobody wants to be rich because they wouldn't be able to afford the taxes. Wait a minute...

Scientist: Hmm... I wonder if it does that every time?

Point taken, though I'd probably lean more towards a path to citizenship for those who go to school in the U.S.
Yeah, singling out Microsoft seems a bit out of line. How about a list of other companies who supported/opposed this?
Is this meant to be an acknowledgement that foreign students aren't such a threat? If so, why this particular time limit?
Is this in spite of a perceived threat from foreign students? If so, why isn't DHS doing its job, which is security?
If this isn't because of security, why is DHS making the call on it?
It's not generally considered something the government should endorse, since it's the government that makes the laws to begin with.
