No he doesn't, because you just made it up. Single payer is cheaper than medicare/VA which is cheaper than private third-party insurance in the US. International comparisons prove it.

It doesn't. Hint: Don't read Republican-baiting tabloids like the Telegraph for science reporting. They use bloggers with grade-school level science "knowledge" as their source, like Delingpole. If you want to know about Mauna Loa and other measuring sites, why not have a look at the NRAA instead?

Toshiba Kirabook - as well-specced as the rMBP but machined out of magnesium alloy and lighter.

The alternative is having a cheap dumbphone with a walkie-talkie function (nobody cares if it gets lost, battery lasts for a week), having a good camera (with a decent xenon flash that can shoot in the dark), and having a cheap tablet or ipod touch for browsing and gaming, where you don't care if the battery runs down before you arrive at your destination. With this setup you don't lose all your functionality if one device runs down, breaks or gets stolen. You can upgrade each one separately. Most functions are superior to the all-in-one, at a lesser total cost -- but at the cost of added bulk.

You did it against the largest empire - with the help of the second and third largest empires, which brought massive navies and armies to bear and even attempted invasions on the English home soil. Without the French and Spanish to occupy them, the Empire would have squashed the militiamen like the poorly-disciplined rabble they were.

Possible. Given the number of people, even likely that some of them have some degree of intelligence.

But that is off topic and doesn't change the fact that it is fucking stupid propaganda to say that the President raised taxes, when the actual fact is that Congress didn't extend a temporary tax cut.

It is very hard and highly illegal. Hard enough that web forums are full of criminals who want to swap their stolen smartphone with somebody else's stolen smartphone from another country (since the IMEI blocks usually only happen for a single country).

Yup. The UK metricated in the 1970s, long before they started having railways or steam engines or spinning jennies.

Dude, the people with BBs are the most social people I've met. Whether it's email or facebook messenger or BBM or WhatsApp, the unified messaging interface and the fast typing is the sole reason to use them... If "ahead of the game" means the same iDevice as your grandma - well, let's just say you are welcome to your hires.

BIS is shared with governments. BES which is used by every enterprise out there, isn't. You generate your own AES key and don't to share it with anyone.

Dude, a "high-end workstation" is a regular desktop PC, except at three times the price.
That's what your parent comment was extolling on.

The saber rattling is not about cruise missiles that can be shot down by R2D2. The saber rattling is about ballistic missiles, 15-ton kinetic energy penetrators that are repurposed ICBMs and reach Mach 10 or so. Even in the unlikely case that a Phalanx or countermissile can hit it directly and destroy it, that will only mean that you now have 15 tons of supersonic tungsten/depleted uranium shrapnel incoming...

The Economic Sciences price is awarded by the same institution as the science prices. Maybe you thought of the Literature price?
