It's okay. I really don't expect you to notice. That's how conditioned response is supposed to work. But yeah, your feelings about him are quite clear, without any exaggeration on my part. It is precisely the polar opposite of your "distaste" for Obama. It's your ying and yang that give you balance. If we could cycle back and forth between them quick enough, we would have you flip-flopping faster than a fresh caught trout.

Yes, you do consistently idolize him in every post his name comes up, or when comparing other politicians. And yes, he is provably the most corrupt. No other administration had a cabinet so full of indicted and convicted criminals. Your eye remains totally blind to what he was because, you adore and idolize him. I'm not flinging poo. I'm pointing out the poo that you apply to yourself.

I live around three or four major reservations and have visited others. Poverty among the people governed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs is far, far worse than the poverty of just about any other group, and in part it stems from the policies of the BIA.

There's a little known fact that if land granted to individuals is not worked, lived on, or otherwise improved by those individuals, being effectively unclaimed the BIA auctions it off, and anyone, not just Indians, can bid. The buyer can't necessarily open-sell that land, but given that it's rural farming or ranching land they can profit through its use, and it can be inherited. Worse, the BIA doesn't assign contiguous chunks to family groups, The father's land may be one area, the mother's another, and the childrens' bits spread out. The land not-worked eventually becomes a patchwork of non-native land among the native land in the reservation.

So, first we take away their use of their original lands so we can have them. Then we slaughter large numbers of them them and confine them to 'reservations', then we start taking away the reservations. Yeah, they're so getting special treatment and benefits...

There is no reason the design of a waste hauling train should wait until a site is identified, thus delaying the removal of the waste from many scattered temporary storage sites. The hauling design and the site identification can proced in parallel.

Indeed: The characteristics of the hauling solution may limit the selection of sites to which the waste could be hauled with acceptable levels of safety. That would argue for the design to PRECEED site selection.

Ain't it the truth!

You're not disagreeing with me. You haven't heard a word I've said. And I certainly am not controlling what you say. Your pjmedia propaganda rag is doing that. You parrot them word for word

Honestly, I don't think that the power consumption is a big deal compared to what the purchase price at the time would have been for that LCD I was looking at, and given the strengths tend to balance each other out (both are 1080, tube is interlaced, LCD isn't, tube has better contrast and refresh rate, LCD would have been slightly larger picture in the same space with a smaller border, tube has better sound, LCD has slightly better fine quality) so the price and long-term durability won out. Certainly over the course of many years I may spend more in electricity for the tube than for an LCD, but at the time the tube was almost free, and will outlast the LCD, so I would have to replace that LCD with another TV when it gives out.

I'm a big fan of things that were quality when they were new, as used things later. A TV that was close to $2000 might just beat the pants off of a TV that's $500 now, even after the paradigm shift.

There are two problems with even the S-VHS VCR... First, there's no digital tuner, so I can't watch one thing while recording another thing like I used to, and second, even the S-VHS format isn't nearly as good as more modern stuff. AT BEST I'll get 480i out of it.

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?

"Spaceflight" technology goes back to 1926.

And the 747 still burns kerosene. Progress in that respect has remained static since the first steam engine. However, think about the fact that man spent thousands of years on horseback, makes the present rate of progress look pretty good.

Again, you're trying to be funny, talking about "morality" in politics, after your idol turned out to be one of the most corrupt ever to occupy the office. Blind eye indeed!! And why do you want to go to war against your own mercenaries? That makes no sense.

And dude! You really went all Rush Limbaugh (feminazis, thanks for keeping that one alive)-Jerry Falwell there. Are you taking what he's taking? Don't do drugs, man...

Nope, you haven't said any of that. Your focus, more like obsession, is on the one person, regardless of his ability to control anything. You are on a bandwagon. And you'll jump off just as soon as your "party" #ReoccupiesResoluteDesk (or however you put it). You are fooling no one except yourself.

...Who is John Galt?

Along with many other US companies and businesses as the US becomes an ever-more hostile and expensive place to base your business in.

Maybe MS will join the "inversion"-stampede of businesses fleeing the US for friendlier locales.

Once again the US government loads up the trusty foot-gun with its' hubris.

Or they could suspend Microsoft corporate charter until they come up with the goods. And besides, if the government can go into any country and grab whoever is "on the list", then they can do the same for a hard drive, too.
