From the same dipshits that argue that any decrease in public spending will suddenly turn us into Somalia.

For example, if it's a random type of tree frog in the amazon because of logging, that's one thing. If it's something that will cause the massive collapse of society because I can't get a steak... That's another thing entirely.
Actually, the best way to make sure something doesn't go extinct is to make it taste good.
And we have water.
As long as health care costs rise faster than GDP growth, they will continue to displace all other government spending. Demographics alone in most western countries guarantee this will continue to happen for the next couple of decades at least.
Maybe we just can't afford to do everything that would be nice to do? Health care costs continue to rise exponentially. All other government spending will continue to decrease as a result
There's no gamble, student loans are guaranteed by the government. That's why everyone can get them, and that's why the cost of education has exploded.
Well, among other things, he revealed that:
1) The NSA intercepts and stores virtually all communications sent on electronic networks anywhere it can reach. Not just metadata. In the case of phone calls, they also speech->text them and make that archive searchable.

2) The NSA constantly works at ways to break into encrypted communications, including hacking into the VPNs of supposedly friendly governments.

3) The NSA listens to the cell calls of friendly foreign leaders. (hopefully, also, unfriendly ones).

4) The NSA may have worked to weaken encryption standards in order to make their task easier.

5) The NSA has physically broken into the fiber plants of major public Internet companies (ie. Google), supposedly without their knowledge, in order to steal data sent only internally.

6) Major Internet companies, and all telcos, have willingly shared much or all of their client's communications with the NSA.

7) The NSA and foreign intelligence agencies share data in order to evade domestic spying restrictions.

8) The NSA has hacked into at least one major supplier of SIM cards, in order to spy on calls made from the phones made with them.
So, because the government has overreached by creating a million different taxes, and has creating thousands of laws criminalizing victimless crimes, it's also OK to criminalize private movement of money that could be, but isn't necessarily, being used to break those other overreaching laws.
Got it.
Make sure and stay in the Free Speech Zones.
If they only detect 5% of them, then sure, why not?
Since 95% of the tests failed, it's pretty obvious that there is in fact pretty much no one trying to take weapons on board planes in order to take them down; they would have succeeded multiple times since 9/11 otherwise.
Because SSH is mostly used to talk to Linux servers. Since when has Microsoft ever done anything to make Windows easier to use with other systems?
I'm not sure there's anything to fix. A lot more women than men are naturally nurturers. And any guy that wants to work with kids is automatically a suspected pedophile
I just disagree that the reason so many more women are teachers than men is money. I know I wouldn't want to be a teacher, you couldn't pay me enough to be around kids all day.
Teachers here make up to about $90k a year with a master's. Nurses make more with overtime, with a 4 year degree. They're still mostly women.
The Arch documentation is excellent.
Much of the Gentoo docs are really good, too.
