I have never heard that one before ... but it nicely encapsulates the correct sentiment. Well Done !!

No. A pardon implies nothing of the sort. He pleaded guilty to a criminal charge. The only way to reverse that under the law is a Pardon. Whether or not homosexuality actually constitutes Gross Indecency (it doesn't btw) or even if Gross Indecency should be a criminal act is another matter entirely.

Cite proof of "reality" please.

then wouldn't it be more correct to say that we're about to witness an event that probably happened about 3.8 billion years ago rather than suggesting the event is about to happen 3.8 billion light years away? Since that is the reality of the situation ?

It's the only one we have ... everything else is theoretical.

Actually the sky isn't blue ... it only "looks" blue.

what implications this has for sexual preference & gender self-identification ? I expect that there is full spectrum of "wiring diagrams" not just male=front/back & female=left/right just as there is a full spectrum of gender identification. Could there be a direct correlation, even causation? Somebody please prove that sexual preference and gender identity is hard-wired by cerebral development and let's shut up the religious asshats once and for all.

I have to go with "Your Master" on this one ... stretching words to mean what you want, to the point that they become accepted results in them losing all meaning.

Here is an example: ! Using "literally" to mean figuratively, to the point that Websters now lists "literally" as a term that means "virtually"! "http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally" - If that isn't a sufficiently obvious case (for you) of an accepted definition of a word that stretches it to the point of losing it's meaning then perhaps vocabulary lessons in English are in order?

Harm is not hurt. Financial loss is not pain. A business is not a person. A sit-in is not violence.

Perhaps because the public are the ones who stop taking their antibiotics before they are finished the full course of treatment, because they feel better; despite their doctors telling them to take them all, despite the pharmacist telling them to take them all !

This is the the biggest contributor to the development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Period!

I think this is not possible .... From what i can glean from various sources is that it's a hardware limitation ... VZW doesn't yet use any of the bands supported by the N5 .. although there is a rumor that they will be expanding into spectrum usable by the N5 early in 2014. whether that means it will be supported then is a good question, but at least it's a possibility

hasn't everyone ?

No i really don't want a brick in my pocket... i'll be better off when tiny batteries last weeks or ambient EM field chargers are built into phones or charge times are reduced to seconds or minutes instead of hours. Until then I'll manage with near field charging solutions. thanks,

except that it still has a microUSB port so ... not being able to charge it anywhere else is not an issue. ?
