You didn't win so now you challenge the whole document. Your retoric is rather transparent. In the 1800's, it wasn't just the lack of technology, people who snooped tended to get a well deserved butt full of lead for their trouble, forgetting we had less material to lose and weren't so densely packed together. I do agree that privacy should be more explicitly stated but its just a word, the concept is rather obviously pointed out in the constitution and that should be enough, well except when dealing with those educated in doublespeak(lawyers,politicians,their way of else people,etc). If you can't figure out the meaning of "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated" our school system is in more trouble than anyone thought. Of course, that that also goes for "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.". You can't miss a direct prohibition like that. Like what part of "NO!" can't you understand?
The only thing that worries me is the students have to pay more to get abused even more, the really good job better be guaranteed and pay really well. What's next bsdm in class?
"Minimum wage is not SUPPOSED to be a living wage."
Yes it is, that's the whole point of it otherwise who needs it? It exists to prevent tight-ass employers from ripping off workers on their work, which in my experience they will do at every opportunity. And raising the minimum wage, as rare as it happens, doesn't eliminate very many jobs, employers just pass on the cost. If those jobs were eliminated, maybe they should be anyway since it's obvious the people that have them are starving as pointed out by the near impossible mandatory minimum wage increase. Oh and look around, inflation isn't just keyed/caused by the minimum wage level.
I know the feeling. I used to work on airplanes. It is truly boring working on thirty or more year old shit that should have been retired twenty years ago. I won't talk about what I've seen crawling out of those planes. I happily left years ago when the intense boredom of assembly line style maintenance, corporate tightwadiness, and the possible prison time for a mistake, finally got to me and utterly crushed my loyalty and caring for the public. Now I won't go near airports or planes since I now know what's going in them and the people that work on and inspect them.
When the insurance drives down the cost of doctors and hospitals what you said might mean something but with the current drive of insurance driving up cost of hospital and doctor care what you said is bogus.
Except you left out a few things. Fat people are paying more already, so who says you are paying for them. Maybe it's the other way around. After all if the insurance companies are there to make money which means they charge more for fat people based on trends that may be inaccurate. Ok, they'll screw you on whatever they can get you on and deny coverage whenever possible. They make more money on the unhealthy due to higher premiums (lets not forget kickbacks) and denied service than they will on your healthy ass who pays the minimums. And lets not forget that private insurance only covers what they want to cover. Thats why I prefer government coverage because they can't deny anything without a real excuse that will be under public scrutiny. I knew a woman who had a heart defect that made her uninsurable, she had to work herself towards a heart attack just to make sure money would be available if something went wrong. In a supposedly advanced country (usa) its embarrassing.
Somehow, someway, I think we have too many overlapping laws. I think we need to lynch a few congressmen (many are lawyers) and shrink the law down to something a peasant can understand and deal with.
"I want it to properly support my HTPC setup and right now that is NVIDIA even though it's not got hardware acceleration working - I've got the CPU to decode it instead."
If the hardware acceleration isn't working, what's the point again?
Forget the downgrade and buy linux compatible machine and take the savings and replace all your windows only hardware with linux compatible hardware if you have any windows only hardware. That way you can for forget all about the microsoft monopoly.
In this country, if you're broke from having to fight to keep your rights you're just as dead. The third world has it easy, at least when they kill you you're dead and the torture ends. Here they break you instead and you go on to live the torture for the rest of your natural life. Which do you think is more humane? ex: we kill horses that break legs, we don't have too, but we still do.

Now take your off-topic crap somewhere else.
Like your governments are angels, right. At least we find out about our crooked programs.
Just remember none of your governments are angels either.
All that means is they treat you just like US citizens. Mellow out.

George Carlin -- Dead and Loving it. Why should Dracula have all the fun?
Come on stock market, do it for George, drop 10000 points in one day. What the hell you can always go up 10000 points tomorrow.
Have you seen some of these kids? There's not much different between genders anyway.
Ya, it's called cancel subscription.
It's a shame he didn't live long enough to see the stock market drop 2000 points in one day. I'd like to see that myself. I'm sure it's coming too.
In other words reference.com follows whatever popular standard is going on at the moment since its updated at the speed of the internet.
They already do it's called screen.

Does anyone remember the various electronics mags from the 70's and 80's? I still have my radio-electronics, they had plenty of projects and articles.
Wow, I had that kit too. I still have it around, saw it looking for caps for a motherboard.

That's what it was on windows.
Well then I guess the only option is ammo. Go get your guns and take your government back.
It's edible, right? Maybe Microsoft wants to poison the competition. Nothing else has worked.
Forget the downgrade and buy linux compatible machine and take the savings and replace all your windows only hardware with linux compatible hardware if you have any windows only hardware. That way you can for forget all about the microsoft monopoly.
They've said that about prostitution for millenia, I see its still around.
