Because you are following the job openings, and your new jobs is in an area where your existing carrier offers unacceptable coverage. Or because another carrier offers a plan better suited to what your usage pattern has become.

Yeah, <cstdio> or a custom wrapper therearound is what I end up using in my C++ projects. It's just that early on, there was a lot of "no true Scotsman" argument going around that using <cstdio> directly wasn't in the "spirit of C++", whatever that means.

Do you need a contract to get the most out of a TV? If not, why do you need a contract to get the most out of what amounts to a 4" tablet computer?

Then continue to offer subsidies, but itemize them once the customer starts getting the bill, and reduce the monthly bill 2 years later by the amount of the loan repayment.

So how should an American go about gaining the legal right to live and work "in most of the world"?

Then why doesn't the bill automatically go down after 24 months to reflect that the loan is paid off?

How does that work? Does the Nexus 5 ship with support for both GSM/UMTS and CDMA2000 networks?

Any politician tying to "get around" the first amendment is not someone I want anywhere near power.

I'm also not keen on "the press" having more free speech rights than "normal" people. That clause is more about forbidding Congress from interfering in actual publication and distribution, including modern things like distributing over the Internet.

If first amendment issues mean there must be more than an asinine "rational basis" test and more of a strict scrutiny one, yey. Evil is partially thwarted.

The only thing worse than Congress controling this is unelected officials controlling what is a heavily political decision. That you want to work around the first amendment emphasizes this.
