You are being disingenuous... Republicans are the ones with the strawman argument...
The whole "I know you are but what am I" arguement doesn't work past the 5th grade. And I hardly think Chicago, widely known for voter fraud, is a Republican bastion. Want to try again?
Don't know which state you come from but a Personal ID is not FREE. It's $20 in Washington State. The Driver's License ranges from $25 to $50. Then of course you need proof of identity which requires a Notary Public Stamped Birth Certificate [another $25+ for the Notary Public stamp, and additional fee for the Birth Certificate at the Court House, plus you need to make sure your SS Card is on you to get the Birth Certificate. If you don't you have to go and have that, but if you are a homeless person I doubt you have much proof].
So how do you get public assistance (the original claim) without ID?
For instance, photo ID requirements, a mere annoyance for middle-class white folks with a driver's license, are an insurmountable burden for members of the underclass that survive on public housing and food assistance.
Pray, do tell, how people that are able to sign up and live off of the public dole, then become too stupid (or otherwise unable) to get a FREE photo ID. Make the photo ID part of the requirement to use these benefits, and you'll cut down on foodstamp fraud too. This whole idea about poor people unable to get ID (which can be verified) is a disingenuous strawman arguement. "insurmountable burden", my ass - just another reason to perpetuate voter fraud!
Not any of the three wars we are actively participating in (Libya, Iraq (yes, still), and Afghanistan).
You forgot Yemen.

Will be interesting (assuming this passes) to see if the so-called offenders move off shore. They might get their domain names blocked, but they might avoid prosecution if the law where they stream from does not make this illegal there too. Would also be interesting to see how this would stand up to a 1st Amendment challange as it make the punishment of electronic form of violating the law much more harsh that otherwise.
Isn't this (the update) an implied admission that the original software tracking was wrong? I don't see how it could have been coded in, and have had the behavior described to it, as an accident. What will become of the data already collected?
I was at a Chiropractic seminar a few months ago where one of the presenters had an interesting point: the more syllables in a chemical name, the more dangerous they are.
Well, I certainly have sarcasm (and disbelief) when I hear comments like -
For some reason, people are terrified of the safest form of power generation that is in common use, but have no problem with the US military using Uranium bullets to shoot Iraqi citizens by their thousands.
thousands..really?..killed with depleted uraniun anti-tank bullets? thousands?
The only possible source of improvement would be that a laser could ignite fuel over its entire path, rather than at a single point, making for a more even combustion pattern.
Not a good idea. This is essentially what detonation (pinging) is. You need a specific spot of origin, then a progressive burn across the combustion chamber. This yields a slow gentle pressure wave (relatively speaking) on the power stroke, rather than a massive, parts-breaking kick.
Hehe, this gives me the opportunity to pass along an old favorite to a much younger generation.
The rest snipped. This is (Hehe) a terrible idea. Don't do it. Besides the real risk of chemical burns, you risk jail and prison. Police and prosecutors have, and will, come after people that make these for making "destructive devices". You risk ruining (Hehe) your life for making a loud bang. I agree, this is little more than popping a balloon, but I'm not (and the parent poster) a cop with something to prove (or is he?).
Such negative comments by supposedly gadget-loving geeks. I suppose you've never heard of the Chem-E-Car Competition. Although this is an RC car and the Chem-E-Car rules don't allow that.
Two questions that hopefully more technically knowledgeable people can comment on. First, this system uses nanotubes- as I understand it, there's no good way of making high-quality naontubes in large batches. Is that still accurate?
Mr. Willington's fevered rantings. In fact please put MORE bloatware on new computers! You see, I'm a computer consultant, and derive a significant sum of money each time a neighbor/friend/referral asks me how to remove your products from his new computer. Since your software causes considerable delay at each bootup if left untouched, they are amazed at how it responds when I am through, and are very eager and grateful to pay my fees! If you could perhaps slip in a few easy-to-clean viruses or computer worms, those would be appreciated as well.
TFA is woefully short on details, but I would guess that the fabric material contains titanium dioxide, a well researched photo-catalyst. A friend got her PHd on photocatalysis by using TiO in thin plastic tubes. Would be easy to embed in thread.

Yes, that's right, Dr. Who.
...is fair play. Thia also means the "Big Corps" can likewise use the tradmarks/tradenames of the activists.

So farts are perfectly safe?

How does the new skin taste after being fried in lard and sprinkled with salt and spices? Have they come up with synthetic beer yet?

Fear-mongering is a tried-and-true motivator. Worked for Hitler. Worked for Stalin. Worked for Bush
Looks like you're trying to make it work for you too.

These folks seem to have it worked out.

They have such interesting programs on TV and radio. Even the news on their website is good.

Here's an entire blog, spanning several years, of obsolete tools and other objects. Some are quite fascinating.
I don't know which is more worrying - that some of these sites are for sale, or how cheaply they're going for...
