The paperwork is merely a ceremonial formality.

There, now we don't have to keep on posting about our world under surveillance every day. Let's post better news on how people are defeating it, if there is any to be found.

But if the Chrome browser gets padded out with a WP/spreadsheet package, it's very unlikely that I'll ever use it again.

If you open it in a new window, you can pretend they are separate products.

Yes, the government is just supposed to put the money on the dresser and leave...

You are a textbook case of distraction and obfuscation... and projection.

We tell the temperature by creating an 'absolute' zero. 0 is cold, 100 is hot. Where is the problem?

Since you didn't see it the first time, I will repeat it for you: ...if you voted to restrict the the right to a marriage contract to a specific group of people, then you are a bigot... There is no 'smear' in that statement. It is a mathematical truth. As absolute as man can produce. I'm not sure what the term is when it's systematic in a society (meaning you can be doing it unconsciously, which is usually the case, and so explains the defensiveness on your part), so 'bigot' has to do.

I cheerfully voted for Virginia's Constitutional Amendment that marriage means what it means a few years ago.

This is what I'm talking about. Your denial notwithstanding. The truth is not a smear.

Loving vs. Virginia - Look it up. It's not much of a stretch.

You keep on thinking I'm 'accusing' you of something (again the projection). That's not true. I'm simply reminding you that you are a follower of culture, acting as any other social animal does. We all motivated by exactly the same thing.

Actually I think you're reading too much Rand Paul, and not even the good stuff.

It's kinda hard to trash-talk the other team during a sales cycle if officially the captains of the two teams are best buddies.

Oh no. Lawyers and politicians do this all the time. All fodder for the tabloid press to gobble up and distract us from the dirty deals.

Shouldn't be too difficult:

Reykjavík

You mean besides ADB, ADC, SCSI, Firewire, Mini Display Port, and Thunderbolt? Yeah, you're probably right.

That has always been Apple's forte, and now is its lone distinguishing 'feature'...

Does it really matter that this was done with explosives? Would you feel better if he stabbed 237 people to the same effect?

Gloria: "Do you know that sixty percent of all deaths in America are caused by guns?"

Archie: "Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?"

Killing is always a crime. The question is whether it is forgivable or not.

Do they really want their own personnel to be less informed...?

It is dangerous to 'know too much'... or even to ask too many questions

Build the spacecraft in space, using material from meteors or the moon. In fact just hollow out the meteor and move in.

...upon which such a quantifier must needs be based?

That's not true. It can stand by itself. And it does.

I see you're still trying to apply all the regular reactionary talking points, so convincing you that marriage is not a religious institution is off the table. But if you voted to restrict the the right to a marriage contract to a specific group of people, then you are a bigot (something to be proud of, for sure). You don't have any right to do that. You sure don't have any right to legislate the 'proper use of genitals'. It has nothing to do with the first amendment in any way. You're just voting for Jim Crow laws, and, given the opportunity, probably would have voted against Loving. I suppose repealing the 13th amendment is next on the agenda.

And the Tizen licensing scheme isn't exactly simple...

Boy, does that sound like 'reputation management', or what? Right now Wall Street is extorting 45 billion (with a B) a month out of us, the taxpayers, and threatening to shut the whole thing down if the flow, I believe the phrase is, 'tapers off'. The 'financial markets' need to lose their privileged status of 'too big to stop'.
