Absolutely, please mod the parent up! Before we would get 5-10% of the population ready to die in revolutionary gun battles, it would be much easier and more likely to get a majority of people ready to take some serious actions at the voting booth and clean house of these crooks from top to bottom. Vote in some true representatives of the people.
People don't care because they feel powerless. If they only would realize the power of big groups acting together.
Neil deGrasse Tyson sums up the debate nicely. He points out how with all the life and beauty of the world it seems magical, but when you step back a bit, you can see how completely fucked up the design really is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEl9kVl6KPc
They have failed us more so than the other branches of government. They should protect us from unreasonable laws, judgements and crimes. But they are now a rubber stamp for abuse. Sure, they throw us a bone every now an then (cops can't throw a GPS on your car anytime the feel like it), but for the most part, they confirm the abuse of the constitution and the ongoing pillaging of this country by the special interests with deep pockets.
So if the govt violated the constitution in other ways like started searching houses for "contraband" anytime it felt like it, and then later codified that into law, you'd be ok with that too??? I agree with the rest of your post, but line 2 is very bad argument.
That's a pretty thorough analysis, but you left out an important possibility. What if the shutdown valves don't work????!!!! That is what happened to deep water horizon! There already a recent pipeline spill where 800k-1.1M barrels of oil has leaked out...
2010 On July 26, Enbridge Energy Partners LLP (Enbridge), reported that a 30-inch (760 mm) pipeline belonging to Enbridge burst in Marshall, Michigan. The company estimates over 800,000 US gallons (3,000,000 L) of crude oil leaked into Talmadge Creek, a waterway that feeds the Kalamazoo River,[653][654][655] whereas EPA reports over 1,139,569 gallons of oil have been recovered as of November 2011.[656] On July 27, 2010, an Administrative Order was issued by U.S. EPA requiring the performance of removal actions in connection with the facility. The Order requires Enbridge to immediately conduct removal of a discharge or to mitigate or prevent a substantial threat of a discharge of oil and to submit a Work Plan for the cleanup activities that was to include a Health and Safety Plan,[657] as required by 29 CFR 1910.120 (HAZWOPER). An oil spill cleanup contractor from Texas, Hallmark, bussed numerous undocumented workers to Battle Creek to work on the cleanup of oil spill and had them work in unsafe conditions.[658]
The word theory has many definitions (six in the merriam webster online). The most relevant definition in the context of "theory of evolution" is: the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another. Theory does not always mean "something we think is true, but still have a few doubts". The evidence for evolution is overwhelming.
Here is an easier plan to deal with these stupid cameras. Just don't pay the "tickets". They are not real tickets even if they look like one. These amount to an "offer for you to pay". They can't do anything if you don't pay.
Mod this UP!!!
We don't even need any new laws. What the TSA is doing is sexual abuse. Just start to arrest the TSA agents. I doubt the feds can claim their law authorizing an agency somehow pre-empts sexual abuse laws!!!! BTW, you can not give your consent for children, so need for anyone to raise consent as a defense.
ya, great idea. Imagine Bill Gates flying down the freeway. His driver doesn't make that much and Bill can afford to pay him back if/when he gets pulled over. How's that going to work out in reality?
Wouldn't this be the opposite of what the government would want to do? Since people are using social media to organize criminally, what better tool would the police have to track and defend against? If the police just search the media sites, they can find the meetup locations and time. Then they can have police and paddy wagons waiting galore. I wish people would use their brains vs. knee jerk reactions.
a fair comment, but I believe you can change your plan back and forth. So at least in the scenario you gave, you could buy streaming for a day or two and then turn it off. Also, I think the streaming content Neflix has is pretty poor. I don't find a whole lot that I like to watch. The real reason for this cost increase is that Netlfix messed up on it's content contracts. They didn't plan for the high volume of customers they got. So, they are currently paying high overage fees to the content providers. Netflix may negotiate better contracts in which case they could lower the pricing again, but I'd expect them to just keep the higher pricing and make more profit. It's what I would do. Like others have said, they may/probably will still make more money with the new pricing even if many customers leave. They may have been losing money as of late due to the overage charges on their current contracts.
That is the best way to start with his girlfriend. But after watching those, then you can try to get into the old classics. From the older series, Tom Baker was my favorite. Try a few of those episodes and see if you don't love it. Part of the fun of the old episodes is that the stories are good and the sets and special effects are hokey. These days in too many movies, they go for special effects over plot and story.
you are comparing apples and oranges. That 3.5" drives are the size of an old cassette player. these SSD are almost credit card sized (a bit thicker, maybe 4 credit cards stacked on top of one another). 80Gb is enough for business users. U can carry your music and other media on your iPhone...
So if you like a small, easy to carry laptop, it should be designed for these SSD only, and no HDD. Then you can still have the bigger cheaper laptops with 2.5" HDD for cost or max storage capability.
Ridiculous. If the barber is concerned about these things, he/she should be wearing gloves. It's only reasonable to ask these questions after some kind of rare incident, not to everyone before hand. This kind of logic is one reason we have ongoing assaults on our privacy.
Great observation of how the legal system is supposed to work. The prosecutor has the burden of proof, while the defendant has presumption of innocence and reasonable doubt on his side. If there is any reasonable explanation of the defendants actions and the prosecutor can not prove it false, or prove what really happened, then that should be enough doubt to dismiss the case or be found not guilty. What "seams more likely" has absolutely nothing to do with it.
A fair comment. But when you consider how far things have tilted to corporations, e.g., they have much power over the government, they have usurped traditional government roles (prisons for instance). I think it's fair to expect freedom of speech regardless of the entity providing public forums. If not, then you might expect zero rights in case the government hired contractors for police, courts, and other traditional roles.
They are just "helping" the voters out. We all know the white English speaking people want to vote R and the darker Spanish speaking people all want to vote D, right????/sarcasm That's what you would think if you listen to the mindless drivel called news in this country.
They do deteriorate, but not generally due to interactions with other magnets. They deteriorate mostly due to molecular vibration (from heat or shock waves). This vibration can cause the domains to become unaligned.
People who provide a forum are not required to let everyone talk who wants to. Try to force the local TV station to let you air your views and they likely will not. I'm in favor of net neutrality, but it's not a free speech issue. BTW, the amount of content most people would send to post to a blog or some such is so small it wouldn't even be noticed. The argument basically assumes there is a widespread intent to limit speech on the internet, and that seems unlikely given the current status is exactly the opposite.
No, entrapment would be if the FBI came to you (posing as a foreign power) out of the blue to ask if you would share secret info and then you did. e.g. they enticed or entrapped you into doing it. In this case, the guy initiated the action all on his own. The FBI in this case was just proving that the guy really wanted to do this, not just making an offer that he never intended to follow through with.
From wikipedia: Government agents entrapped him if three conditions are fulfilled:
1. The idea for committing the crime came from the government agents and not from the person accused of the crime.
2. Government agents then persuaded or talked the person into committing the crime. Simply giving him the opportunity to commit the crime is not the same as persuading him to commit the crime.
3. The person was not ready and willing to commit the crime before the government agents spoke with him.
On the issue of entrapment, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not entrapped by government agents.
