The shutdown was caused by the veto, not the passing of the bill. The passing of the bill was valid and would have resulted in a working government, then Clinton took an action that caused the government to shut down.

I don't see why it matters so much to you. What does it matter who you blame for the shutdown? It was a good thing, not a bad thing.

Yes, there are. If you discriminate consistently against blonds, then you will be open to legal action. You are using a strict definition of "race", and the application of the laws doesn't work that way.

Has there ever been a documented case of someone discriminating against a Mi based on name? No? Then why do you think you deserve special laws?

I've seen some that explicitly list LGBT (as a non protected class). That's not an omission, but a license to discriminate. Is that any different?

Wow, this apologia is +5 insightful. I guess this shows how the Slashdot mass falls on this issue.

Now you really sound racist.

There is cultural shift over time in what terms are considered appropriate. This particular shift occurred about 45 years ago.

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.
