Why do you lump Klipsch in with Monster Cables? The founder of Klipsch is renown for debunking many crap claims made by many speaker makers similar to the nonsense claims that Monster makes. Perhaps you mean "No highs. No lows. It's Bose"? K-horns, for example, have always been solid speakers.

So receipts are imaginary?

I went to Wal-Mart last night. I did not keep my receipt. Was my trip to the store imaginary?

You are asking the government to prove the negative. That he didn't spend the money.

Willfully obtuse. Anyone who's passed 2nd grade civics knows it's the government's job to prove your guilt (hiding the money), not your job to prove your innocence(money was spent).

To avoid court costs.

Because they knew they had fucked up. Badly. Claiming that a corp the size of Microsoft is afraid of a little lawsuit - days after having someone's business raided - is about as believable as your Craigslist ad for oceanfront property in Nebraska.

And you don't know that they offered a settlement. MS could have simply told them to STFU or they'd be countersued for X, Y, and Z.

Your protests don't pass the laugh test. If Microsoft could sue for X, Y, or Z, they never would have agreed to a settlement so quickly.

Maybe MS threatened to publicly release evidence that showed they were actively aiding and abetting the malware shit MS was called in to clean up.

Then they would have done so.

You can blindly hate MS all you want, but no-ip and its siblings have a less than stellar reputation themselves.

Go home, Microsoft fanboi, you're delusional. The response would have been the same if it were Microsoft or Google or Samsung pulling the same crap.

Don't forget the RF shielded optical fiber interconnects, for true fidelity at high frequencies, and a mellow bass.

I'm sure the German population is pissed by it. But the outrage I'm talking about is the phony scapegoating coming from the government who is conveniently only upset when it wasn't just the plebes being spied on. They were perfectly fine with that.

Which was exactly my point. They were perfectly fine when the plebes were being spied on by the NSA just not themselves.

See my other post. 'Stop loss' orders were issued, which amounted to a draft.

It's not called a draft. It's called a 'stop loss' order. During the worst years of Iraq-Afghanistan people at the end of their original service requirements were not allowed to leave. It was mostly for critical specialties but a draft by any other name is still a draft.

How do you think Penn. has clung to one party rule for so many years?

How about a hexadecimal object ID?

They want to join the 5 Eyes so that they can continue to receive NSA intelligence that they use against their citizens but the government officials won't be spied on.

And yet their own intelligence agencies have no issue with sharing and working with the NSA.

Germany's government was perfectly fine with the NSA's surveillance until they found out they were being spied on too. It's faux outrage meant to deflect people's attention from them being in bed with the NSA for years.

It was released in 1980. So, yes, it did.

Why not? US is currently Russia, largely due to complete halt of develpment and massive brain drain after the fall of Soviet Union. That suggests that US has at least ten to fifteen years of head start. If you go into details, Russians probably still lead on aerodynamics and engines or are about even due to two decades of lost development. US has a massive lead in its traditional advantages of logistics, production and avionics.

US most definitely has the time to develop something else. That argument is quite ridiculous.

The main argument here is cancellation of F-35 program because of structural failures of the program mentioned above, and usage of F-35 development to create three separate aircraft for each branch (carrier based fighter/bomber, airforce strike focused fighter bomber and marines STOVL strike focused fighter/bomber).

This would also solve the problem with Lockheed Martin becoming an effective monopoly for future fighter production in US as tenders could be given to separate companies.

Entering? Yes. Reading and managing with numbers? No. You seem to think that the only costs with data management are entering. That's just ridiculous.

I'm not going to even bother with the rest of your argument, which amounts to "spreadsheet bad for everything, world is wrong in choosing it, I stand alone as a warrior for just cause". Good luck with that.
