Suggestion from a lawyer: Copy to disk drive. Turn off PC. Remove disk drive and place in safe. (Repeat for what could be petabytes of data).

Alternatively, print to hard copy and prepare for histrionics when Defendants find out there are eight warehouses filled with nothing but stored paper copies.

In those applications where hydraulics / winches and cables work - sure - but what about where they're a poor substitute for something that acts like natural muscle - like say - robotics?

- from TFA.

Notably - the article claims that the reaction is nearly as fast as human muscle - which could be interesting. Also, most of the practical applications listed in the article take advantage of the fact that the fiber responds to heat - which can include ambient temperatures, to automate the opening and closing of vents and other heat control systems without spending energy on control systems or motors.

And ... another fact-free denial. The 2012 election had the HIGHEST percentage turnout since 1968, and by raw voters, the third highest in U.S. history. One source of many you could read: Wikipedia - Voter Turnout in United States Presidential Elections.

America rejected the Republican party - if you cannot accept the numbers then all the analytics in the world are going to be worthless to you.

Totally unnecessary, cars (like trains and planes) cross state lines and are inherently integrated into inter-state commerce - regulation of inter-state commerce is an enumerated power of the federal government. That's why the Feds can mandate that auto manufacturers must install seat belts and air bags. This is just the continuation of that. Damn that constitution and its specific grants of powers.

Unless the laws of physics have recently been warped by the polar vortex, 0c is NOT "well below freezing" 0F is.

Hard to accept that deal if you're Snowden. "I promise I'll let you go once I have you in jail." hmm.

No it didn't. Korea was authorized (or not, you're welcome to your opinion on this untried argument) under the U.N. Treaty after a declaration by the U.N. Security Counsel authorizing intervention in Korea. Vietnam was authorized by the Gulf of Tonkin resolution (See Wikipedia) which was an act of congress authorizing the President to use military force. Check out this helpful article by the Atlantic for more information on the history of U.S. wars and interventions:

If the poor were going to riot over losing their access to government programs, we would have been drenched in blood decades ago. If your fantasy race-war doesn't occur will you reconsider your position? (Do you even believe that or is it some kind of quasi-trolling live action role-play?) I trust we can call you a vote for the Democratic party in 2016 - since you feel the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (i.e. foodstamps) is so key to the stability of the nation?

Says the man who has never heard of beans and rice?

The constitution says that the Congress shall have the power: "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;" which sounds a lot like "war powers" to me. I must have missed the part where the Article I grants the president the power to declare war (hint, it doesn't).

Most of our laws define of things, I.e. trade notes (look up the ucc) by the function they serve in the economy, rather than by name. Because the people that wrote our laws are not so stupid as to write every law as a one-off that can be evaded by changing the brand of your fraudulent instrument.

I find generally that people that try to eat their own gun don't make it past the first one - at least not without major reconstructive surgery.

Your statement is inconsistent with the NSA's own admissions to the FISA courts that have been released in the Snowden docs. They broke their own rules for using the documents. Many times. But the FISA court's rulings are secret, the judges cannot blow the whistle (legally) and none of the people negatively effected by the NSA's actions have notice or an opportunity to object. So.. yeah.. great justice system you've got there, shame if something should happen to it.
