If Rick Santorum had his way, abortion doctors would be facing murder charges, probably even capital punishment.
Santorum wants anal sex to be illegal. Santorum wants contraceptives to be illegal. Santorum wants abortion to be illegal, even if the woman was raped by her own father.
Sometimes I have to wonder if he would call for stoning homosexuals if he could get away with it. I guess he'll have to settle for stripping them of their civil rights and treating them like second-class citizens.
That might not be 100% analogous to the Taliban, but to call such comparisons "flippant" suggests to me that you're not all that familiar with Santorum's platform.
He was not comparing homosexuality to those things in his statement.
Oh, rest assured that he most certainly was. He just had a speech writer carefully articulate it in such a way that the target audience would "get it *wink wink nudge nudge*" while he could claim plausible deniability.
For that matter, I don't see how you can compare anti "don't fuck me in the ass" laws with anti "marry multiple people" laws. Ass fucking is not what one considers a legal institution in the same way that marriage is. Fucking people in the ass doesn't change how your taxes are done. Butt sex has no bearing on visitation rights or custody battles.
you probably think it is perfectly fine if a brother and sister decide to have sex with each other as long as they are both consenting adults.
Straw man alert, straw man alert!
Chris Burke never said that he was "perfectly fine" with anything. The question is what should be considered legal and illegal, and that adults who can perform consensual sex should not be compared to situations in which sex cannot be consensual.
For what it's worth, if a brother and a sister wanna get it on and they're capable of consent and neither are coerced, why the fuck should any of us give a shit? Maybe in so far as society paying for medical problems associated with inbred children, but that's a big step from outlawing sexual intercourse between related people (at least nine months worth of steps).
The fact that you didn't address his actual point - that Santorum was trying to deliberately equate homosexuals with animal and child abuse - just further proves that GP was right on in his assessment.
OK, just so we are straight here... You think it's OK for the Internet to be censored because you're incapable of protecting your own children from what may be found with a simple Google search of terms that do not normally have a sexual connotation? What's next, do you want to censor search results for "blow" so that way blow jobs and cocaine don't appear in the list? What about people who are looking for a steam cleaner in the Cleveland area, should we censor those results so they don't see what the "Cleveland Steamer" is?
I'm also amazed that you consider anal sex to be a "gay sex act". Women take it up the ass from men too, and believe it or not some men take it up the ass from women as well. It's just a sex act, plain and simple; the fact that you attach gay to it says something about you.
I'm also stunned that you would say "no one you know"... "cares who you fall in love with/who/what you do in your bedroom". You do realize that you're talking about Rick Santorum? Mr. "victims of rape and incest cannot have abortions", Mr. "contraception is evil", Mr. "if we legalize gay marriage then next thing you know people will be marrying dogs" Santorum is the epitome of "cares about who you love and what you do in the bedroom".
No one is forcing a lifestyle on your children. No one is coming into your home and reading the definition of anal sex aloud during dinner. No one is holding up posters with the definition in front of your house. So quit forcing your lifestyle on the rest of the world. If you're too scared of what your kids will find on the Internet, keep them off of the Internet or keep an eye on their surfing habits. It's your job to protect your kids, not mine, not Google's, and not the federal government's.
The Himalayan mountains are growing in size every year. Mass lost due to ice melting means less weight on the mountains, which means the mountains can grow faster. Thus, the mass lost from ice melting is replaced by mass from continental shelves colliding together.
More CO2 will only increase plant growth if CO2 is the bottleneck for growth. If the bottleneck is somewhere else - such as nitrogen - extra CO2 won't do shit to increase plant growth.
Honeywell's thermostat is parasitically powered, not their sensors. I'm saying the general technique - drawing power from other devices over e.g. data lines - is obvious to anyone skilled in the art of circuitry.
Now some of the other patents, like leeching power off of the main system, may hold up under more scrutiny (though this technique has been in wide use throughout the industry; I recall two-wire sensors that derive their power parasitically from the data line, and if the patent covers similar technology then it should be revoked).
Also, FYI, you can compel some patents to be licensed. FRAND patents, for instance; Samsung got into hot water when they tried to use FRAND patents as a weapon against Apple.
IMO, you shouldn't be able to use patents to shut down competitors. Especially competitors that outsmarted you by building a better product than you could.
It doesn't matter if you're gay, or born sterile, or just decided you couldn't be bothered to have kids. You should still be treated as an outsider who is only tolerated if they don't screw things up for those who are a part of the ongoing fabric of humanity.... They lack the biological mechanisms that prevent toxic decadence in a human culture.
The ability to have kids is not mutually exclusive with the ability to raise kids. There is this thing called adoption.
Fun facts: the incidence of child abuse in lesbian homes is 0%.
with this attack you MUST be the next person to use the card's credentials. If not, the attack fails.
Implicit in this statement is the assumption that the hacker will be unable to discover the sequence of CVV codes based on the one they have right now. Given Sony's epic failure to implement proper encryption on the PS3, are you willing to take the chance that the CVV code generation algorithm will remain a secret forever?
The original product includes the license to day 1 DLC. The fact that you cannot sell this license along with the game should be a violation of the first sale doctrine. Without the ability to sell the DLC with the game, you lose the ability to sell the original product second-hand.
It should be legal for you to create an account linked to the game and to sell the account along with the game.
I say if they want to play these kinds of games with us, then why don't we start charging them property taxes for their IP? Sell it as a deficit reduction mechanism.
As a bonus, whenever a product would reach the point where it would be abandoned by the IP owner, they could relieve themselves of the IP tax by releasing their IP into the public domain.
Did you notice how they want your real-life information for these petitions?
This isn't about giving people a voice in government. It's about collecting people's information so they can be solicited for campaign contributions.
When you go into a store and they ask you for your info and one of the items is "email address", do you give the real email address? Of course not, because you know you're going to get all kinds of spam from those people.
Everyone thinks that the act of taking down MegaUpload means that we don't need SOPA anymore. But what if the Feds set themselves up to fail by intentionally seizing a foreign company that they have no jurisdiction over?
"See, we *tried* to stop the foreign thieves with existing laws, but we failed to do so. This proves we need new laws!"
I'm an equal opportunity hater. I think anyone who has more wealth than they could possibly ever use is worth a healthy dose of ire. After a certain point, you just don't *need* any more money, regardless of what race or gender you are. Money becomes an end unto itself, and the more money that becomes concentrated into the hands of fewer people, the worse off the rest of society is.
Originally the spectrum was allocated for satellite transmissions. So the folks who designed the GPS front-end filter knew what kind of power the adjacent band would experience, and designed their filters accordingly to maximize the cost/efficiency curve.
In other words, the GPS filters of yesteryear *were* properly implemented - given the existing FCC rules about spectrum allocation. When those filters were made, signals of the power that Light Squared wants to use were ILLEGAL (as in, federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison illegal). It's not like the engineer had a magic crystal ball that allowed clairvoyant predictions of a change in the licensing regarding adjacent bands.
That depends on your definition of "proper engineering".
Your boss comes up to you and says "Make a GPS receiver". As part of your design, you know you'll need a filter to block signal that's out of the GPS band. So what do you do? Do you make the biggest, baddest filter that you can possibly achieve without regard for expenses?
Or do you analyze the expected power in nearby frequency bands to determine what kind of specification your filter must meet in order to work efficiently without driving up costs unnecessarily?
"Proper engineered devices" would be the ones with the engineer who knows he needs -x dB/octave roll-off in his filter because he knows that the signal in adjacent bands cannot legally exceed y dBm because of the way the FCC has allocated the spectrum. And it is those devices which will get fucked in the ass by Light Squared - all because some engineer actually did his homework.
I'm not sure peak/offpeak hours really matter all that much. The magnet is always on, even if it's not making any sound (the gradient coils). That's why MR techs always do "the macarena" to make sure they don't have any metal before going in, even when it's quiet.
You probably wouldn't even need the gradient coils to be active for this.
Yes, the rootkit has some techniques for circumventing KMCSP. However, it needs the dropper to run in order to infect your system in the first place. So if you run 64-bit Vista/7 with UAC enabled, the dropper for the rootkit won't even try to run, and the rootkit never gets a chance to even attempt circumventing KMCSP.

Reading comprehension fail.

You could have looked this up pretty easily.
Oh, you're an AC. Now I understand.
More CO2 will only increase plant growth if CO2 is the bottleneck for growth. If the bottleneck is somewhere else - such as nitrogen - extra CO2 won't do shit to increase plant growth.
He also fucked up "begs the question".
Unless you cut taxes while going to war.

Arduino parasitic power. http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/OneWire
Hell. RFID chips derives power parasitically from the transmitter.
TFS doesn't say (probably to drive more views to the linked page) but this is all about thermostats.
Some of the patents include "thermostat is round and can be rotated", "thermostat asks the user questions", and stuff like that. Considering how skeptical many people are about Apple's "design patents" on "rounded rectangles with touch screens", I would be skeptical of some of these as well.
Now some of the other patents, like leeching power off of the main system, may hold up under more scrutiny (though this technique has been in wide use throughout the industry; I recall two-wire sensors that derive their power parasitically from the data line, and if the patent covers similar technology then it should be revoked).

Funny, I've yet to meet a small business owner who said the Affordable Care Act has made them scared to hire anyone.
The only people I see scared to hire anyone are Republicans who don't own any business and want to use scare tactics to stifle debate.
Almost.
