A.K.A latent heat.

The Roku 3 supports FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and HFS+ drive formats. My guess is that your other devices only support FAT32? That would make the maximum volume size 2 TB for FAT32, IIRC. Assuming full implementation of NTFS and HFS+, your drive should work. I'd check with Roku first, though. Also, I have no trust of USB standards implementation, so I always use external power on something like hard drives, and I swap out the wall warts every 5 years or so (lost the greatest phone ever made to a bad wall wart).

To the A.C. troll below, I would say that, yes, there are additional products to accomplish the same purpose, but the Roku is best device of all those devices. Given Roku's business model of not requiring to get between content providers and viewers, and their excellent record of updating firmware for old devices, I expect that the Roku is the best value for some time to come.

The Constitution was not written with words and phrases having only the meaning stated in the dictionary. The Constitution is a governing document very similar to a power of attorney, and the phrases and terms used should first be considered from what the ratifiers considered them to mean. Another example is the Congressional power to "declare war". If we just look at the dictionary definitions of "declare", then we will not find what was meant by the phrase. However, if we review the ratification debates, then we find out exactly what the term meant to the ratifiers, and such is also the case with the commerce clause.

Think of that word 'regulate' to mean 'make regular' instead of the modern definition of 'control every aspect'. Congress is authorized to fix issues like not being allowed to purchase health insurance from a provider outside of one's own state of residence. Congress is not authorized to redefine state tax laws, except in very specific cases.

I drove to Target just to get some dinner plates. They were out of stock - not a single plate on the shelf. While walking out of the store I ordered some off of Amazon. They arrived 2 days later on my doorstep.

The states can collect the taxes from entities within their jurisdiction. My understanding is that this bill requires entities outside a given state's jurisdiction to collect the taxes. That is unconstitutional.

The Constitution was written to preserve a republic, not the environment.

The Constitution does not grant Congress the power to regulate state level taxation, to force one to pay taxes in another state, or to collect the taxes on behalf of another state..

The issues that most complain about regarding income taxes are the methods of collection and enforcement. For example, the 5th amendment is supposed to protect us from self-incrimination, but a tax filing is self-incrimination. The IRS has its own tax courts, which do not follow due process. The right to assistance of counsel in defense has been turned into a joke because they seize the means to provide that counsel, then give a public defender who knows next to nothing.

Amazon supports this bill. They understand that closing off the opportunity for a company to grow on avoiding stat sales taxes is in their best interest because they know better than anyone how successful that model is.

How about taking a look at the websites I linked to instead of making yourself look like an ass?

Direct democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. The concept behind representative democracy is that people are dedicated to and interested in protecting a community, not just themselves.

You must separate government from governance. With little representation, as we have now, we have representatives who do whatever they want with little to fear because the bar to enter office is so high. By substantially reducing this bar, the competition for entering office heats up dramatically, and at a certain level, becomes available to almost anyone. At that point, which I believe is 30,000 people, the governance of our government will be such that trillions of dollars would be cut from the budget. So increasing the annual spending on Congressional salaries by less than $2 billion, we get trillions in savings.

I had proposed a new site for TTO, but they didn't seem interested. Here is the proposed page. I think it does a better job of explaining this concept, as it is initially counter-intuitive.

'Dumping' will not work with Bitcoin because the value of the Bitcoins has a minimum it will retain for those who use bitcoins, as in the first crash that saw Bitcoin drop to $5 and hold. Part of the problem is that to drive the price up, people must sell their bitcoins, and it is these same people who make money on the way up that will buy the bitcoins when they fall back to some lower value. Yes, casual investors will flea the market, but the market will not go away. It will remain continue to grow, albeit at a somewhat slower rate than before the dumping.

Banning running very small software that sends tiny packets would require a level of policing that crumble under its own weight due to the enormous manpower requirements to enforce it. Even if the process of monitoring can be identified, the cost of prosecution is something else entirely. Sure, they could do some high profile cases, but that would be a like a teardrop in a bucket. They don't actually lock up drug addicts and rarely even prosecute for this very reason - there are just too many of them. Rewards for someone's using Bitcoin would just add to the cost and ISPs cannot track encrypted communications.

As far as disarming the population, it is currently hard to get ammo not on backorder, and while the government certainly has some serious firepower, it is still trite compared with the size of the armed population of the United States, so going to war against the U.S. citizens would fail at this level alone, not to mention that it would likely work to increase adoption of Bitcoin as freedom fighters would need something transact with their vendors.

Thankfully, the media has nowhere near the influence it once had. For varying reasons, only a very small percentage of people give any care about what the media claiming, so this strategy would also fail to have any substantial effect on public opinion.

I see you have swallowed the Keynesian pill. You need to read outside the narrow band of Krugman-approved scholars to even begin to understand why what you stated is nonsense. Money is being created to make the QE payments. It's as simple as that.

We have too many people in each district. Thirty-Thousand.org, while they have an ancient website, does a great job explaining how the framers did not want more than 50,000 people per district. Though more focused on California, Project Represent Me does a great job at explaining the concept and why it is central to a representative democracy.
