And speaking of queer, how can you have a small government and a ban on gay marriage at the same time? That is a ridiculous position to hold because a small government implies its inability to dictate morality.
For a first approximation, assume that the size of the bureaucracy needed to enforce a given statute or regulation is correlated with the length of the statute or regulation. (I'd be interested to hear counterexamples.) The Law of Moses, making up the first five books of the Jewish and Christian Bibles, is far shorter than the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
I'd imagine that in this case, size of government refers to the amount of control it has over you in theory, rather than the amount of resources it would take to exert that control...
If the near epileptic fit the left had over Bush didn't clue anyone in... how can you be surprised or dismayed by some from the right? After there are zealots on both sides and needless to say, their actions sell news. The news doesn't care about the majority of conservatives or liberals who act rationally, its more fun to find the loons.
The only President the US needs is one who can stand up to Congress and beat them down with the bully pulpit and get this country's finances in order. What we have now is same crap we had with Bush for 6 years, anything goes as one party in power is always ruinous for the US
At first I thought, this was an incredible statement and I fully believed in it. But there is one thing I have to point out, while the Left went nuts while Bush was in power, Bush was in command during some really messed up times in American history, and it really seemed like he hasn't handled any of it very well. The left wingers were in a fit, yes, and spawned off some... interesting groups, like 9/11 truthers. But it was Bush (though maybe not personally, but he is ultimately responsible) that brought in all sorts of reactionary politics. The left wingers attacked these things. They weren't grasping at straws when they protested the Iraq war, they weren't grasping at straws when they protested the patriot act, they weren't grasping at straws over the tax cuts.
I personally don't recall (WARNING: this memory lapse is very likely the result of bias towards the left, so please fill in the blanks if you want) the most vocal left wing pundits making random shit up to prove their point on why the Iraq war should not have happened. But the right wing rhetoric of "death panels" in Obamacare? I don't get it. The right wing rhetoric seems far more obscene, far more bizarre, far more queer. And speaking of queer, how can you have a small government and a ban on gay marriage at the same time? That is a ridiculous position to hold because a small government implies its inability to dictate morality.
That being said, I'm completely disenfranchised with politics period. I mean, Obama seemed promising when he wasn't in charge, but he has no backbone to speak of, and everyone else is playing the "my opponent is worse than me" card instead of having any independent thoughts whatsoever. No one with power has a plan and that's clear in the political discourse of the 21st century.
Oh well, there hasn't been a revolution in the western world in a while, perhaps it's time to start one...
I'll stick with the flexibility of my bicycle, thank you. At least I can ride around accidents, construction, and gridlick - can't do that with 6 foot wide 3000 pound cars.
Oh and by the way my bicycle uses no gas at all.
I don't think that's necessarily true.
Bypassing Roadblocks: - When you reach a street festival, you usually have to walk your bike. - You can get around gridlock on a highway, but mostly because you don't have anychoice being on a bike and all. So, what happens when there is major traffic on the regular roads? You'll be in the same situation as the cars, trying to find empty spots to move forward, switching lanes, etc etc etc - Montreal has the most bike lanes in North America and strongly encourages biking. Well, the result of that is, CONGESTED BIKE LANES.
Energy Usage: - You'll consume more calories biking. You'll eat more food, that food has to be delivered to its point of purchase, and possibly your own front door. It has to be produced on farms as well. - You'll consume more water, which needs to be pumped, consuming more energy.
Conclusion: I love biking, but it's far from perfect, and not necessarily the most efficient method of travel.
I wouldn't call it perfect we still have ACs Frankly I find it amusing when ever I see a post that says "I am posting this as an AC to avoid the karma hit" Really? Well then please do not post it.
Really, well let me be the first to say you're a fucking moron and I won't hide behind AC to tell you that. Having mod points does not bestow the user with those points with a sudden sense of bias-free objectivity. Not towing the party line can get you modded into oblivion. Oh, look, Microsoft did something and you want to go and support them for it. Perhaps your point is actually "insightful" or "interesting" or "informative". The chances of that post not getting modded into oblivion are pretty damn slim. Secondly, what the fuck have you been smoking if you think that when a user gets mod points, they suddenly have a sense of humor? What about a sense of fucking sarcasm eh? In fact, how you can have a UID that low and some how not understand the basic principles of internet speech and moderation is nothing short of a tragedy.
With all that said, if you were sarcastic, then so was I. If you weren't, then neither was I.
This sounds like the ongoing debate between analog and digital audio. Everyone likes using images like these during the debate, but given enough resolution (bits), the closer the digital audio will be to its original analogue (electrical) source.

Obviously the reason the mineral wealth wasn't released years ago is because Republicans were in charge of the US government. They wanted to steal it, of course, but the only way to do that is to keep it secret. Why do you think Bush really wanted to invade Iraq? Remember that Iraq was under oil-export restrictions! Booting out Saddam allowed the restrictions to be removed, and incidently allowed US interests to start stealing oil, since they were controlling the place. Such thefts are quite typical of Republican policies--read a good history text if you don't believe me.
This idea that american GOPers are somehow the only politicians and businessmen in the world that launch aggressive campaigns to take control of natural resources is absurd. The majority of people with any kind of power want more power. Their position on the political spectrum is irrelevant. Their desires are what counts. The only difference is who they pander to, and sometimes that isn't all that different.
Sounds like your issue is with plugins, not with Wordpress.
It sounds like both the plugins, wordpress, and the admin himself.
Wordpress should not mess with the API without warning. That warning should come in the form of depreciated functions in one version, removal one or two versions after.
The plugins might take advantage of undocumented APIs, or perform some hacks to accomplish a task.
When I was in grade 5, which was in the late 80ies, we were building lego technics robots and connecting them to Apple IIgs computers and controlling the motors with Apple Logo.
I'm curious, specifically which draconian policy would impair your use and enjoyment of the phone?
1) Standards & Development: My Nexus One acts as a hard drive with my computer. It uses standard USB cables to connect to it. Tethering with the nexus one had no hassles whatsoever. The Nexus One worked flawlessly with Linux and Windows without the need for drivers, and I did not have to pay for a developers license to start playing with it.
2) Usability: The Android supports multitasking and as such, has a much more useful "homescreen", which is actually several screens that can contain widgets with uptodate information. The home screen is just an app, I can replace it. The keyboard is just an app, I can replace it. Email is just an app, I can replace it. I can run services in the background with a proper notification system so that I can be properly notified should I choose it from whatever app I install. If I don't like Google's idea of Android, I'm free to install any version of Android I want. I'm free to install any OS that can work with my Nexus One I want.
3) Upgradability: I can swap the 4gb MicroSD card for a 32gb MicroSD card should I chose to do so, and only pay the costs of the microsd card.
4) Flexibility: There are no or very little limitations to the kinds of apps available on the market, and nothing stops me from installing apps outside of the market as well. As a developer, I am not limited to what I can make my app do. I am not limited to one programming language to make my app.
iPhone has the exact opposite of all four of these points, and I find that to be horribly draconian.
If I am going to shell out $600 for a device, I intend to use it as I see fit and not be dictated by anyone on how I should use my shiny new toy.
But if everyone's stuff could stand on its own merits, then you still have a signal noise ratio problem. You need PR and marketing to cut through noise.

Since governments don't actually acknowledge number stations, what would be the harm of starting your own?

Unless you're in a community that isn't technologically advanced. You'd kind of stand out with that laptop you know?

Well, it was a cool concept. I can see different parts of the framework they've created being useful for specific implementations.
Maybe they'll just open source wave entirely. That would be neat...

It's targeted to business users. Apple doesn't really enter into that market. So I could see this being a success.

So someone who has never piloted an aircraft before has a better chance of landing it than flying it level? Try again.
The AC is wrong. Looking at the trends for 2007 from that link he posted:
Cruising accounts for 1% of all accidents, while landing accounts for 30% of all accidents.
However, the fatality rate for an accident while cruising is 50%, while the fatality rate for an accident while landing is 30.5%.
What was also interesting was that preflight/taxi accidents accounted for 2.8% with a 7% fatality rate.
I have a .org domain hosted on my server. Is there something I need to do?
Rogers, Bell, Videotron, Comcast, Sky, etc are all distributors of content (TV) and ISPs. Some are owned by even larger media producing corporations.
So, what I'm trying to say is, it does make sense.
