You just turn off the tracking and put the .50 through his head.

not really. The best thing that he can do is pull manufacturing from China. Seriously, at this time, Apple can build their own robotics plant here in America and bring it home.

Well, their site doesn't say anything like that anymore, as it's mostly down because of the ruling.

I had heard that the insane defense is a plea. You must declare it before the trial started, and if you declare "not guilty" you may not change that to "not guilty, by reason of insanity". But maybe that's jurisdictional.

Either way, Aereo isn't changing a legal argument. It was found in court to be "rebroadcasting" like a cable company, so they are simply agreeing with the finding. They didn't change their definition, the broadcasters did by suing them.

The best plan for taking down the USA is to bomb the lines in 5 major airports at the same time. Denver is one of the largest lines I've ever been in. Kill dozens, injure hundreds.

After that, they'll move the scan further away from the old lines. About a week later, bomb them there, 5 more different large airports. Probably at the check-in counters.

Then, 3 more days after the last, go back to the original 5 airports, and car-bomb the line of cars stopping to drop-off/pick-up.

Air traffic would stop. For weeks at least, maybe months. The economy would collapse.

What close ties and treaties do they have with the USA? None. Oh, there's your failure. Taiwan was founded by anti-comunistic capitalists. The US backed them, but unlike the White Army, the US didn't serve them up to be killed after false promised of help, but intervened in a civil war to create a new country.

The equivalent is if the English had backed the South, and the US Civil War ended with Louisiana being the Confederacy, under the protectorate of the English. Louisiana isn't going to win an "invasion" of the USA, but it's not worth a second Revolutionary War to finish them off, so you wall them off, and mostly ignore them, while keeping the "claim" on the territory. Though the LA governemnt is formed mostly of former US Senators and Representatives from around the country, so they "claim" to be the head of the government, but can't (and don't) do anything about it.

The Ukraine is like Somalia or Yugoslavia. We don't know. We don't care. We didn't start it, and we will try to not get involved, and when we do, we'll accuse the president of treason for defending non-Americans.

They don't even claim to be a country. Taiwan and Beijing both claim to the the "true" capital of China. Beijing has a bigger army. Both claim each other as territory. It's a cease-fire in a civil war, not a separate country.

Does having a life vest under my seat add to my travel time? What's the additional cost, per trip, for having it there?

I'm only asking for sanity. You are preaching the opposite.

Statistically speaking, they are a waste of money. Though the most in-depth studies were on the first generation bags. They were a complete failure. They "saved" less than 5% of the time, and killed about 5% of the time. The money wasted on them would have saved more lives if it were spent on rural medivac helicopters. Airbags kill. Statistics and actuaries say so. Why do you want things that are a waste of resources and don't save lives?

and yet, Germany knew that we were in fact, spying on their citizens and giving German gov. information. For starters, we have stopped several AQ attacks on them because of that.
What they DID NOT know, was the spying on their gov, which I have to say was surprising.

We need to re-define patents. It should remain for hardware, but not software. Basically, we need to drop that method patent.

I will say that I have long thought that USPO should start offering vetted keys. Just as they do passports, they would be ideal for doing state IDs and vetted keys. If more govs. offered up such things, then it would make it possible for publications and other groups to require a truly vetted key.

No, he is teaching at Taiwan. There are many Chinese natives that teach at Taiwan (and elsewhere for that matter).

Actually, that is a good idea. BUT, you have to have vetted signers.

Seriously, we read many stories here in which big deals are made of them, but as soon as I check that it has lead by Chinese Academicians (even if they are now working in the USA), I discount it. WHy? Because over and over, I see fraud in the publications, and here, I notice that many of these stories are being pushed by ACs. In a nutshell, these ppl are putting together fraudulent publications (generally, leaving out the negatives that they came across), and then marketing them to make themselves look good.

Yes, some of you will scream that I am racists, and yet, over and over and over, this occurs.

My first job was for a guy named Marshall Marshall. So it's not only the Chinese that re-use names. That, and it's likely that the two Chen's aren't the same word, but phonetically similar.
