Actually, they are. You can't graduate from high school without at least 4 years of English. At least, that's what my stepdaughter (a 2010 HS graduate) and wife (both Chinese nationals) tell me...
An interesting take on the Kosaka and Xie study. And note that, at this time, it's simply a fit of data, it is NOT a model as it is much too new to actually have been used for a prediction. Unlike the other dozens and dozens of studies I linked to further up the chain.
Now that you got your name-calling out of your system... How about the fact none of the models match the current temperature trends? None of them. Any explanation for that? Or just more ad-homimen attacks, essentially admitting your own inability to counter my original post.
"...it meant every able-bodied male of military age..."
This definition of militia as every "free able-bodied white male citizen" was set by Congressional action in the Second Militia Act of 1792. So by referring to this definition, one accepts that Congress has the legislative power to expand or restrict those who count as being in the militia, as it sees fit.
Then Congress should do so; it cannot arbitrarily restrict ownership of firearms as that would be depriving militia members of their right to bear arms...
Of course, there is also that whole DC v Heller thing that kind of makes it a personal right, not just a militia right, and then McDonald v Chicago that incorporated the right to individuals (beyond the reach of States)...
That happened a few years ago, it was a little Supreme Court case called District of Columbia v. Heller and the Court found that the 2nd Amendment also exists to allow individuals to protect themselves (self-defense).
I suggest you review DC v Heller, and understand that the 2nd Amendment isn't just about the people defending themselves against the Government, but that it "protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home and within federal enclaves". Self-defense, including against other people - not just Governments.
This year I accidentally arranged 100,000ish logic gates into a functioning circuit for use in microprocessor products made by my employer, by using the design tools and design processes available to me.
Quick, buy a lottery ticket! Your luck may run out!
I'm not saying he hasn't taken to government overreach like a pig to slop, but the notion that he had some filibuster-proof majority on "Day One" is just wrong.
Yeah, it was July 7th. 2009 when President Obama finally had his filibuster-proof majority. So it took a little under 6 months to get there...
The DLNA wireless out video is great at the office (the TVs in the conference rooms are DLNA ready), and I've used the MHL (microUSB based) to HDMI a few times whilst traveling, with hotel room TVs. So it works really well.
I just toss all my music into the same folder on my Galaxy Note II. The stock media player seems to have no problem identifying albums, tracks, and artists (and allowing me to browse all of them). Why should I even sort stuff, given that computers are really good at doing that for me?
It's not like humans ever had to meet RDA values withs a 2000 calorie diet in the past million years or so, there's no reason to think that multivitamins are suddenly required for our health starting from the last century.
Question: how has the average life span of the typical 1st world person increased over the last century, relative to previous centuries?
Zimmerman's story should have been enough to convict him. He admitted hunting Trayvon through the night [which is assault].
No, it's not. The police officers deposed in the case confirmed that following someone is NOT illegal - it is not considered assault. You're knowledge of just what qualifies as assault is quite incorrect.

Well, good thing then that there has been no warming over the last 200 months! Of course, we also wouldn't want to talk about the fact that none of the climate models predicted that current, long-term pause...
Consensus? Oh, you mean that report by Cooks that erroneously claimed 97% consensus when in fact it was 0.3%? That consensus?

The divine pasta has spoken. The true god is wining.
Well, a nice Chianti is best with most pastas...

If you compare Germany to similar north western European countries it isn't particularly expensive.
Nope, not particularly expensive, just generally expensive...

Congress is like a pack of pimps who can't help but use the DOD, DHHS, and other departments to buy support to keep their status...
DLNA is your friend. Better yet, many mid-to-high end TVs natively support it - no need for a separate computer to interface to the TV.

Micro USB is terrible. Charges slow, isn't reversible, etc.
Really? I guess my Galaxy Note II doesn't charge at 2000 mA, and fully charge in under 2 hours with the micro USB connector...
Because our compasses can't point to them. They just spin and spin...
Cereal boxes are at least useful...
In the vegetarian world we have a name for those folk who eat fish oil and wear leather shoes they are called liars.
Funny, in most of the rest of the world we have a word for bad hunter: vegetarian.

Yep, and like the GP said, we get that DC crap all over us...
You should read the law about what is assault. Following someone is NOT assault, even the police officer who was a witness for the prosecution admitted as much.
Zimmerman's story should have been enough to convict him. He admitted hunting Trayvon through the night [which is assault].
No, it's not. The police officers deposed in the case confirmed that following someone is NOT illegal - it is not considered assault. You're knowledge of just what qualifies as assault is quite incorrect.
Talk to Kris Kime about what a punch and impact with concrete can do. Oh wait, you can't: he's dead from just that sort of thing.
