What would make things different is a software architecture change that gets rid of the separate permanent storage layer and makes everything RAM-persistent. That would be kinda strange to imagine.

But isn't the point of restarting the machine to reset it's state? Either from updates or a computer just acting strange?

If you even had a basic idea of how the Constitution works, the President's budget is basically for show. Congress is entirely responsible.

Sorry, but you're wrong.

Congress generally begins its budget process once the President submits his budget. The President is required by law to submit a comprehensive federal budget on or before the first Monday in February (31 U.S.C. 1105(a))

Because if they do that the people of the red states won't pay for things like roads and schools, just cool things like NASCAR and shotguns.

Obviously I'm talking about corporate and personal welfare programs. I'm not talking about government infrastructure. I realize the benefit in roads.

I don't think that people realize how much more expensive some goods and services are *beacuse* they are being subsidized. The government rarely seems to pay a correct amount for these things. Plus subsidies drive up demand which drives up costs.

Truckers shouldn't use google maps anyway - they don't provide legal truck routes. There are other applications out there like ALK PC Miler that provides truck routes based on verified truck routes, height and weight limits, etc.

I'm not sure that Google wants to get into that game, at least not providing a free product.
