Back in the '80s, Activision was one of his primary consumers of funny cigarettes.

Congress misuses the Interstaye Commerce Clause in many Rube Goldbergian arguments to extend their power, but this is a legitimate, direct use of it for its real intention: stopping states from throwing up roadblocks to interstate commerce.

It doesn't even mean that. It means no tax funding of government Internet projects (or anything else) using taxes on (private) Internet services.

They can still fund it out of general funds (or state gas taxes, for that matter, which are often used for things other than roads.)

Plus they have to be careful bitching about what an ass the judge was.

Probably best to just keep quiet about him altogether.

And that right wing electorial passion is driven by xenophobic nationalism, not by some revelation that government is too big.

So re-use low complexity passwords for unimportant sites and use high-complexity unique passwords for important sites.

Got it. Low for my bank account, high for World of Warcraft.

Hogging out a hole : to reverse-3D print

Computers are a virtual machine -- it can be any other machine. There's...a lot of other machines, many of which cannot exist in any other way. Get cracking!

I'd rather have seas 30 feet higher in 100-300 years and living with (say) 2314-year tech than current seas and year 2200 tech in 2314...or 2214. Hech, a 10% slowdown, miserably easy for an overbearing government to achieve, would yield a 30 year delta at the end. Hell, I'd rather have 2014 tech than 1984-tech.

Proposed solutions matter and should be judged in the context of tech advancement, or lack thereof. That's what saves lives.

Your Aero argument is indeed solid...except for one thing. Congress deliberately mucked it up by preventing cable companies from being able to rebroadcast local broadcast channels, implementing this must-carry-for-free-or-negotiate-for-dollars, tv station decides.

Congress did it! However, Fox has no leg to stand on, with the the Aero ruling, anyway. You have your signal and shows already and are just using slingbox to transmit it around for you. This doesn't fall afoul of Congress' strange law for must-carry.

No no no! Money's no object!

it wanted to spend 486,000 rubles
(about $14,800) to buy 20 electric typewriters as a way to avoid digital leaks.

While that seems like a lot, keep in mind the US government would commission electronic typewriters, making sure they had USB and WiFi and network printing capabilities and access to cloud storage and run Windows apps and Internet Explorer.

They would finally be delivered for $38k per unit about 12 years after everybody has a Matrix jack in their neck.

Europe lives without dryers (I lived in the NL for a year and rented, dried clothes on racks) not because they are environmentally friendly but for the same reason nobody has AC and refrigerators are tiny. It's about 1950-level wealth. Shit's expensive, yo! Apartments and such are tiny too.

Our fast food is a good start to bring your bellies up to speed. If you build it, they will gorge. Get on our level!

What do you expect from Linux users? :popcorngif:

The FAA is concerned with you accidentally flying it into a restricted area like way up there (evidently 1000 feet) or near an airport or the White House.

It is not concerned with whether some idiot crashes it into someone's window or head. That's the concern of local police and states.

Hmmm. You're right! Let's begin the debate.

This is a troubling development in an ongoing saga over the FAA's rules which punish the safe commercial use of drones.
