"Fair" is the point when the transaction is completed. Advertising has nothing to do with it at the point the transaction is completed unless there is an agreed upon terms to correct a mistake.

It's because your a user of technology. Non-citizens are just the excuse used by the US government when we know full well we're all losing our rights to privacy. In fact, I'd suggests non-citizens have more privacy. You're country may not subject you to constant government forced data collection in the form of "insurance" - medical, home, auto, etc. or law enforcement...whatever no privacy exists anywhere anymore.

I guess "most transparent" actually referred to us and not the government.

What social program has actually been cut? I don't know of any of significance. I do know of more that have been added. And by cut I mean we no longer spend any money on the service provided by the program. Cutting a name to allow the same service to be provided under a different name or department doesn't count.

If they were doing everything right then why the need for the tax credit? Shouldn't it stand on its own without tax payers subsidizing the purchase? I have a coworker that just bought the P85 and says the same thing about the company and experience. The car is cool as hell and it's unusual to see a car without a tailpipe. I just don't think its reasonable for tax payers to fund this obvious luxury purchase. Not only that...he's no longer paying for gas or the gas taxes that pay for the roads he drives it on.

One thing that has disturbed me is how quickly all my efforts to control information about me are quickly undone by a friend or coworker who doesn't care in the same way. All those apps and games on people's phones and tablets with "read contacts" permissions are building a network of information out of my control because people I know also maintain my contact information. For example, the latest google maps update requests the following permission be added - read your contacts. With further description - "...read data about your contacts stored on you phone, ...frequency....called, emailed, or communicated in other ways. ...may share contact data without your knowledge." WTF! it's a map application. People blindly update these things...

I seem to recall Superman having the ability to create ice by blowing a strong wind. Yep, must be Superman.

Search for FIPS 140-2. It's a paid for government certification for an implementation of an encryption routine. You can implement AES in your software but it's not officially FIPS 140-2 certified until you submit and pay for the certification. So in other words, you will not find any open source encryption certified by the government as FIPS 140-2 since that would require a submission and payment. If you search you will find the official list of software that is certified as FIPS 140-2.

How is your post even slightly +4 Insightful as rated at time of post? Texas doesn't need or ask for any help, Republican or otherwise. If anything they ask to be left alone.

Where are you getting this from? When will fuel run out? I've not seen any predictions within centuries. I've heard a geologist say the US has 1000 years of coal. New oil and natural gas reserves are frequently being found. There's no real urgency.

You realize you're just giving the power company extra money for something they've already been forced by government regulation to implement, right? You're purchase does nothing to change the equation because no current equation exists to provide 100% wind power to the power grid. I guess you could set up your own windmill and use it to charge your electric car.

If you're the gray haired guy looking for a job or the kid's giving him advice you've probably never heard of her.

But it's a UN Scientific Committee made up of scientists. We always believe scientist because we are not scientists and they are so we are not allowed to question their science.

really? So no oil at all is used in the making of an EV? No rubber tires or plastic parts? No perfectly maintained asphalt roads for it to drive on?
