    even though that would appear to directly violate FEC regulations

    The article you linked doesn't claim that.

    when she found a new job, her new employer contacted the Wellers at Skully and were told she could not be trusted with confidential information.

    That's technically true: she spilled the beans on their wild spending. "Fair" is another matter.

    The impact on truly middle class will be small or nothing. Some may affect upper middle class, but her primary tax target is the wealthy.

    Anti-tax websites exaggerate or lie about the impact on the middle.

    That's rather indirect. And exceptions are typically put in place for retirement accounts that don't apply to "regular" investors.

    And, if capital gains were taxed as regular income, which they should be in my opinion, the tax rate would apply when you "cash in" such that it wouldn't hit retirees very hard because they are usually not getting a steady paycheck. They'll usually be in a low or non-existent tax bracket at that point.

    What's an example of her proposed increases that would significantly impact small businesses?

    However I don't recall a similar list appearing either during the Bush II years... [just a] long list of Clinton associates dying under questionable circumstances ...

    I'd like to think it was a mere coincidence that a million people died in Iraq rather than from "revelations" about WMD's delivered by Bathroom Jesus to the Great Painter of Poodles and Feet.

  10. another totally random coincidence that everybody who knows anything about the Clintons ends up dead!

    I challenge you to show statistically that such deaths are higher than average (rather than people with over-active imaginations connecting dots simply because they have a pen and nothing else to do in mom's basement except watch Fox News).

    How can anyone verify "nothing was taken"? The guy whose stuff it was is dead.

    Suppose hypothetically Mr. Rich owned a hula-dancer lamp that was his favorite, and the robber took it?

    If the electorate of those 19 states don't like it, it's their job to change it.

    The problem is the big ISP's pay a lot of money to bribe politicians to keep out competition. In many states, there's not enough granularity on their ballot to weed out specific bad practices. Politicians can focus on God, Gays, Guns, and Walls to distract voters from these kinds of issues, for example.

    To avoid getting sued, they should use subjective words instead, like "Comcast Internet is the most synergetic!"

    Addendum

    Note that auto-flow could still be computed on the server-side. That way you have a single consistent flow-render engine rather than have 30-odd client-side render engines that web apps typically have now (10 odd browser brands with roughly 3 versions each).

    Vector-based coordinate plotting would simplify the client, turning it into a dumb and simple coordinate plotter of basic vectors and GUI widgets that fill the exact containing rectangle that you ask of it.

    MS perhaps should incrementally charge more for security updates for older OS's rather than outright pull the support plug. It could be a nice revenue source for them. They do like money, no?

    I suspect they did the bean-counter math, and found it's more profitable for force full upgrades rather than get a trickling-in of support fees from older OS.
