Should we feel sorry because you're stuck with 3G, or because you're Canadian?

Check out the JAG program which awarded $280 million last year to non-Federal police officers. Meaning State and local cops. The Feds don't have to employ the local police or Government office if they fund it - and use the power of the purse strings to control the office/officer. Same with schools, much of the roads, etc. The Fed uses the power of their purse to get what they want.

Cut the purse strings if you want real local Government. Otherwise there's a good chance your local Government is funded nearly as much by the State and Federal treasuries as it is from the local residents.

How do you capture State legislatures, other than with a majority of the State vote?

I get that. However, in this case - there is no bundling. And there is no "search engine tied to other commercial interests" going on here.

Curiously I just went to bing.com and typed in "office software suite". First link was to a review site. Second link? OpenOffice.org! Microsoft's Office suite doesn't even show up in the first page. I know I'm a bit surprised...

Huh. I just Googled "Free email account" and the first three links were mail.com, gmx.com and yahoo.com. Google's GMail came in fourth. I guess Google doesn't understand how to properly bundle/discriminate against competitors given they're not doing what you say they can/are doing.

What does Google bundle with its search engine? I do not need to use Chrome to access Google search. I do not have to have a GMail account, nor use Google+. I can use Google Search from iOS or Windows Phone or Blackberry OS. What is the bundling that you're concerned about?

How thick do those walls have to be? A foot or two? And a central control room could control quite a few such ANNUAL deposits. Seriously, 2200 tons of depleted uranium is simply not that big of a volume. You could locate it in just about any building in the US and no one would know. It's actually a very, very small size.

I'd rather have someone who has some business experience (ideally as a success, but I'd take failure as well) as President than someone with zero business management experience.

Leaderships skills are, apparently, no longer a qualification for President... Charisma and good talking points suffice.

Actually, yes. Here in Southern California, many homes have two master bedrooms, or you can combine a master bedroom and "normal" bedroom to reach the volume of size needed. A typical 400 square foot apartment with an 8 foot ceiling would support complete storage. This is a tiny space.

Yes, 2200 tons sounds REALLY scary, but what is that, really? Depleted uranium is around 19.1 grams per cubic centimeter. Do the math, and that 2200 tons of spent fuel ends up being a cube about 15 feet a side. Not really all that much now, is it? You can store it in the space of two typical master bedrooms. An entire year's worth of spent uranium in a very small volume. I'd say that's actually a really good thing!

My little company (started just a year ago) is in the process right now. Albeit for an H1B holder from the EU, but the same process. In the real scheme of business, a $5000 expense is nothing to get a good quality worker...

It's known as OSX and allows one to "talk" with Steve Jobs...

Transferring your H1B from one employer to another is not hard. Takes about 3 months and about $5000. Just need to find a new employer willing to accept that. And whilst transferring your H1B, you do NOT have to leave the country, and can actually start working for your new employer as USCIS operates under the presumption your transfer will complete successfully.
