um...could one not build bluetooth into the bomb and then have a bluetooth enabled cell phone (or iTouch) act as the detonator? What is the TSA going to do then? Ban all cellphones from a flight?

Because everybody knows it is really Vladmir Putin who runs Russia, and is Prime Minister to get around the consecutive term limits, and will run again for the Presidency, and win after Medvedev's term is up...

and then the next thing you know it will be mandatory to buy bike insurance, just like car insurance! Don't tell the Tea Party!

Chrome has it's exe in APPDATA, that is how they get around UAC.

A petition will not do a damn thing. You're going to have to threaten to kill people if your demands are not met.

and if they did recover it, they would find a message written in old high gallifreyan on the black box translated as "Hello, Sweetie"

Unless Google starts using VP8 exclusively for Youtube. How long would it take for VP8 to gain hardware decoding? Hint: Not long.

So how long until Apple creates an App Store for OS X, and forces Developers to only write Apps in Objective C, under NDA?

Because every Apple store and/or product produces a miniature Reality Distortion Field?

The poor in the US have Medicare. It's the middle class that gets screwed when they get layed off or fired. COBRA is too expensive to pay for, and they are ineligible for Medicare. If you have a pre-existing condition your even more screwed, as you have to find a job ASAP because no private insurance will cover you. You can't start your own company, because you have a pre-existing condition and no insurance company will touch you.

If your poor, more importantly if your a young girl in a poverty area, the best way to be provided for is to get pregnant. The goverment opens up it's coffers to support you.

So it's not the poor who don't have anything, they get covered, it's all about the Middle Class. They get screwed.

Medicare and Social Security are NOT Mentioned in the Constitution, yet the national defense is. If you want to start cutting programs, go for Social Security and Medicare NOT National Defense.

Now, there are problems with the "Military Industrial Complex" that Eisenhower famously warned us of. Much of NASA's woes come from the boon doggle that are Cost Plus contracts. This is why switching to the COTS program is a big step in the right direction. Companies don't get money until they produce results, they can't just suck at NASA's teat.

I think where this is ultimately headed is to require DO-178B like testing for Automobiles, just like we require it for Airplanes.

With raw, uncontrolled capitalism, there would be no patents or copyrights, which means there would be no way for corporations to get the government to be there thugs and stifle competitive efforts.
