Speech zones were created by the democrats after the chicago riots at their convention.
Anyways, the IRS had attempted to stop free speech by those not politically alaigned with the current administration. And yes, the included liberal groups as well as conservative groups/people. I'm not entirely sure it will stay alive and i have doubts about how well it is.
It would likely silence the speech you just made too.
If you think silencing speech you do not like or agree with is proper, you need to consider how long it would take to silence yourself. I'm sure there are people who do not agree with you.
You think $26.89/hr is a low wage? Wow. That's $53780/yr! A huge amount of money. And people wonder why international outsourcing and illegal immigrants are a problem. The North American standard of living is unsustainable, pure and simple. All these rich folks have no idea that the majority of the population works for far less. Housing alone costs about 80% of earnings for most people. Ain't capitalism grand?
In the cities where they are needed, that's not a whole lot of money. I bet those guys live in hovels or commute from waaaayyy outside the cities the work in.
Like others I found the headline confusing. I read it as "Researchers are predicting the use of Wikipedia as a vector for the spread of disease". This may mean that:
Oh noes.. when will we be able to get wikicondums and how would that work?
Which is ancient magic compared to the power of hashtags.
And when it does, we can connect it. It just isn't at this point. The op in the article is using established laws to protect himself from actions that have been already established by law as bad. If politics did come into play at this point, it should/could be the state AG collecting evidence to file charges/protection suit on behalf of the state's citizens.
But if more people took their experiences to the courts, regulatory boards, and states attourneys offices, i do not think Net Neutrality would be an issue.
This is probably the reality. The genetics seem to foster the growth and sustainability of certain microbes so depending on how strong of an effect it maintains throughout life, it should likely revert back to the genetic normal.
However, if the gut microbes could be administered several times as needed, it might defeat this as the length of time it might take to revert could be longer than shorter. What I mean is, if the microbes could be inserted by capsule and take a year before they are replaced or overcome by other microbes, then a yearly pill or perhaps shot might be sufficient. People smarter than me will have to figure that out though.
The rules that the FCC implemented that prevents someone from saying "fuck you" on the radio, or broadcast television, came about from a single complaint back in the 70's.
The rules may have, but the law concerning it- that's right, I said law- was passed by congress and signed into law back in 1948. look it up, title 18 section 1464.
So lets not pretend that the FCC just made this up. It was the enforcement of laws already on the books.
Thirty years later, and four million times more complaints were filed about net neutrality, and they're still dragging their feet.
Yes, because no law gives them the power to do so after they already declared it to be an information service.
THAT should put some perspective of democracy into this.
Yes, it certainly does.
This has nothing to do with Net Neutrality. This is a simple consumer protection lawsuit authorized by law- law that has been on the books for quite a while now. Every state has them, even the feds have them. They even allow criminal prosecution in some cases.
But you are in such a hurried rush to make an ass of yourself that you have to "guess" at what the republicans "might" do with a situation that can be handled by laws already on the books just to attempt to hurl a partisan insult. Here is a hint, no politician needs to do anything, the people need to stand up for themselves.
Also, the telcos and cable companies are often regulated by the state public utilities commissions. If more people complained about them to these regulatory agencies who do have competent jurisdiction at the moment and held the asshole ISPs to their words with lawsuits over unfair business and deceptive business practices, the entire fight for Net Neutrality would not exist. That's right, it all is already covered by consumer protections laws in most states. They want to slow your connection because you use vonage instead of their VoIP offering, they want to slow it because Netflix failed to pay them extra, well they are not delivering the service they sold you so false advertising and deceptive business practices come into play and if people would sue or complain to their state PUC (or equivalent) and their state attorney general, it would be done and over with.
Oh yeah, one more thing, the up to "speed" doesn't cover their slowing it down because it will never be up to anything more than the slower speed they limited it at. So no, the up to speed claims does not give the ISP an out.
When they have the majority in both the house and the senate starting next Jan. they will expand the NSA's powers and try to ram it through.
IOW, continuing the good work of the current majority and the administration?
Or, just now realizing the power structure of parallel construction, back room deals to harass people for political reasons, massive and invasive domestic eavesdropping abilities etc. are all going to be in the hands of the Republicans when Democrats lose the white house in 2016... and fearing the machine they created being turned against them.
A Surface Pro 3 starts at $749 - list price, less in qty. - that gets you close to 'good' laptops and tablets.
RT Surfaces go up against cheap Android tablets, not iPads or good high-end Androids. $449 is way more expensive than the competition.
At $749, you get a bottom-end CPU and no keyboard, so you're not competing against laptops at all. It's also $150 more than an iPad Air 2 with the same amount of storage (although the iPad will have more available space after subtracting the OS install), so you're paying more for a tablet with less available tablet-centric software.
OP was right: Surface is a hybrid that does neither thing well.
And don't forget the alternate risks of mugging you're subjecting children to by having them carry around a $600 thief-magnet
While I don't disagree with your general point, theft rates started dropping as soon as Apple added Activation Lock to iOS 7. There's not a lot of street value in a device that can't be used, and they're not the thief magnet they were even a year ago.
I was with you until you spewed crap about republicans. Obviously you do not know what you are talking about because the law has been on the books and remains on the books despite republicans having control of congress and the presidency in the recent past.
Try keeping politics out of places it doesn't belong. Especially if you checked, you would know 2/3 or better time warner political contributiones go to democrats. If any politicisn would actually be against the consumer here, it is more likely to be them
What makes you think anything was funny?
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
