Nope, there are hundreds, if not thousands of laws that single them out, whether by name or omission. There are piles of laws on housing and other things that state you can't discriminate on race, gender, age, family status, religion, and/or other factors, but very few of them extend anti-discrimination laws to LBGT. This is singling them out as one of the non-protected classes is singling them out.

" The government shut down after Clinton vetoed the spending bill the Republican Party-controlled Congress sent him. " It was Clinton who "shut it down" by vetoing the budget he didn't like. (if you don't like it, argue with Wikipedia, not me)

Then why did Clinton get in so much trouble with the Conservatives by shutting down the government to get a budget he liked?

SBC was spun off ATT, then grew larger, and bought it back. They are now, and have always been the same company, they just had a trial separation for a few years.

When my childhood home was torn down in the early 2000s, the phone that came with the house in the 1950s was still in it. With the "property of AT&T sticker still on it, though no "rental" fees were paid on it as long as I've been alive.

You can google it. The "result" is a minor burn caused by the heating from the MRI. That's all, and it's not even consistent. Some with tattoos have no reaction, others with the same pigment will. The shape of the tattoo has an effect.

Just be more clear. One's made by white people. That one's ok. The other's made by yellow people. That's not ok. Got it. No need to pretend anything else.

Or the have two products that are free because one is more "secure" with more false positives, and the other is more "permissive" because some people only want "hits" when it's a real virus, not the more generic hits when it detects a nonvirus, like a kegen. As for the mixup for which was provided, did the reviewer use a native Chinese speaker to discuss the versions and which is delivered? It may have been a simple miscommunication on the default config, not malicious.

So it's the same as McAfee and Norton?

It takes less than that. If you want to escape Mercury, you'd need to go Mercury's escape velocity parallel to the orbit, or greater if headed away from the sun, and less if headed towards the sun. So to burn up in the sun would be less than the stated or free-body calculated Mercury escape velocity. Also, the number is reduced because the calculated number is related to from a rest at the surface, not for something already moving in orbit. It wouldn't take nearly that much more velocity to end up orbiting the sun, or smashing into it, if you were already moving and in orbit.

Until you can name an FBI agent or administrator in prison, they *are* getting away with it.

All net-neutrality rules officially presented allow for network QoS of all kinds. Prioritizing VoIP above FTP is allowed in all net-neutrality rules. What's not allowed is prioritizing *your* VoIP over your competitor's VoIP.

Also allowed under all net neutrality is blocking P2P, and various other QoS schemes, so long as they are not explicitly anti-competitive.

Yes, it should be the FTC doing the enforcement, but the FTC doesn't understand the issue. The FCC is tasked with understanding the problem. The Justice Department, working with both the FTC and FCC should do the enforcement. Maybe the FCC could write the rules, and hand them to the FTC. But having the FTC write the rules will end up with the bad rules everyone claims are what Net Neutrality is.

The FCC is chartered to regulate communications. That's what the first "c" stands for in the name. The Internet is Communication. So it seems quite in-line with the goals and purpose of the organization.

There are trial systems for car batteries. You can change a car's batteries (for specific prototypes) resulting in an energy transfer rate faster than liquid fuel. You drive on a special changer, the old battery is disconnected and drops out the bottom, and a new one is fitted in place. I've seen the videos, so I'm sure you can google it.

Wireless power. Just don't ask about the really long grounding wire.

I flew Christmas Eve in about 1993 from Boston to Dallas, and there were more flight attendants than passengers. "We are suspending all service on this flight. If you want something, just ask." Most everyone pulled up the armrests in the middle row, and laid across middle seats to sleep on the empty plane.
