The newest plain vanilla e-ink devices from amazon and b&n are inthe $70 range with sales taking them to $50ish now and then.
Speed is nice but not the goal, lowing the cost of production would be ideal. Cheap machines reasonable cost of material so when you need something you don't need to send out for it. Print a replacement scissor for the broken G key on your laptop. A new button knob or battery cover for your gadget, a zipper foot for your sewing machine, a few more plastic knitting needles, an upholstery attachment for your vacuum cleaner. items that it might be cheap to mass produce but the demand at any given moment is rather low so your local stores don't carry them, items that it's a pain in the ass to send away for. From there you can move to the simple items the stores do carry so you can save yourself a trip. Why get your cheap plastic crap form china when you'll be able to print it at home for the cost of the plastic, you don't NEED 600 a minute.
But will the printed cat be dead or alive?
Perhaps you should look up respect for marriage act. It is only like DOMA on opposite day.
In general elections favor incumbents.
Sure they can and do lose but in generic election incumbent v challenger the devil you know wins.
You have a funny way of spelling Cory Booker
It depends. In any state that's not in play voting third party doesn't hurt you but does send a message. In the others... well then you decide how much you dislike the incumbent.
Between the seating of Roland Burris and the death of Ted Kennedy there were only a few months to get anything done given the republican agenda was no'bama.
That's not enough time to convince Joe Lieberman not to be an ass.
I saw the video of that. For whatever my opinion is worth, not much I admit, he looked half awake and I got the impression he was trying to say 50 states in 7 days but his sleep deprived brain didn't quite make it.
Big flubs bother me, little ones form either party don't. When you make fun of Bush for saying misunderestimated or Obama for saying 57 states you're not engaging in political commentary you're just being an asshole. I save my jerkass comments for the people who's slip-ups reveal what they really think like that Akin fellow.
I think you mean battleground state or perhaps swing state which amounts to the same thing, one that's actually being contested.
If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes (Plurality isn't good enough) the house of representatives gets to choose the new president with each state getting one vote. If they deadlock they keep holding ballots till someone wins. If the new president's term starts before one is chosen then the vice president chosen by the senate holds power till there's a president.
I think it's robbery not piracy. The assets weren't seized on the high seas.
Someone needs to 3d model some sewing machine feet. Small, useful (to people who sew), not always easy to find. And the little plastic scissor parts in notebook keyboards, the little guns and swords kids lose form their action figures, crochet hooks.....
I really should take the time to learn one of the many 3d modeling programs out there.
You misunderstand, I was paraphrasing their message.
I myself willing to accept losing an election without shooting people. There's always another election. When elections stop happening that's when shooting is called for.
