Same on FF desktop version.

The A-10 isn't a bomber.

Still possibly susceptible to remote exploits.

That's just untrue.

I was mocking it not endorsing it.

When it's convenient, yup, doing a public service, keeping kids off drugs, stuff like that.

> but [the Astrodome] will likely become a park to bridge NRG Center and Stadium

Only because so many people are too sentimental for the damn thing to knock it down. It's likely to become a greater boondoggle than anything else that exists on the property.

Private company, go start yer own football league if you don't like it, etc.

Or an untrained or too-tired worker puts the assembly in the jig upside-down and pushes the button. ker-chunk. Then the worker throws the cable in the good bin because he gets paid by the kg of cables produced, and fired if the bad bin fills up.

It's 5A, they could install a polyfuse, or they could monitor the current and turn it off with a transistor.

Thanks for pointing the archived version out.

Talk to your Rockwell rep. If a worse way exists, they'll find it for you.

Like everything else from AB/Rockwell, you can find a better one if you look, buy you can't pay more for one.

Lefists? Is that what we are now, leftists and hawks?

I'm a liberal, and I'd take massive cuts at the war department even without re spending it all on entitlements.

And we don't need such a huge military for humanitarian work either.

Old news. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/13/cia_rendition_jet_wa...

Imagine how it would taste after the neo cons in the legislature has their say.

Double the handy wipe ration, add a few bucks for lotion. Problem sorted! /s

You wish, and so do I.

It's an okay use of NSA/GCHQ. Certainly more useful and preferable to spying on citizens and politicians. I remain unconvinced that it's necessary, or even always beneficial. We don't really need to know every detail about everything that every country does. I can't say that the specific capability here is never needed, but I do think it ought to be held very closely and used sparingly.

>what's the public need to know here?

If you don't think the public ought to know, then perhaps you'd consider the notion that the more spying we do, the more likely it is for leaks like this to happen. One potential good thing, the public gets to know how bad we are at counterintel; that's a good thing if the public can figure out what to do about it.

Have a look at what Keynes wrote in 1930. "Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren." http://www.econ.yale.edu/smith/econ116a/keynes1.pdf

Avocados have to be harvested green since there is only about a 45 minute window of ripeness before they are hopelessly rotten. /s

>caused a mutation to make them more bland, this occurred in the 1940's before

Then why do so many people alive today complain about the taste and texture, since most ought not even know what a pre-1940 tomato tastes like?

>I always think it ironic to blame modern techniques

Blame the abuse of selective breeding and genetic modification.

>Can't unions negotiate for fair wages while also throwing the bad apples to the wolves?

But why would they do that? What incentive exists for them to expose themselves to possible additional legal problems if they screw up?

Isn't it the local and state governing body's responsibility to represent citizen interests.

More than one group uses that varnacular, but yeah that's a good context clue. Freemasonry is frequently popular among law enforcement types.

It may or may not be wrong. There will definitely be some inflation, but there will also be an equilibrium. It is also a possibility that if the UBI is adjusted accordingly, that the relative costs of things will remain roughly the same.

As for whether employers will benefit, recognize that demand will also increase when those who were formerly impoverished begin consuming things. It is direct and distributed economic stimulus.

Here are 7 pages which you may have already read, but may even still wish to read again while considering ideas such as UBI; especially if you are a critic of such things.

By Keynes' estimation, those who are discussing such things right now are right on schedule.

John Maynard Keynes, Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren (1930) http://www.econ.yale.edu/smith/econ116a/keynes1.pdf

Aaand, it is not currently the imperative of gov't to provide people with a sense of self-worth. That may be a worthy thing to shoot for, but it isn't currently a purpose of government. Even if one accepts uncritically the self-worth imbue-ing power of labor it's not necessarily the only way to impart a sense of self-worth to the individual.

Nobody pronounces GIF correctly anyway.

Looks like FLIF can do animations as well. http://flif.info/animation.html

Old people: "They sure don't make 'em like they used to!"

Me: Thank goodness.

I know there was auto-industry resistance to moving away from sealed-beam headlamps.

In general I think it's widely agreed that all businesses almost universally tend to oppose most forms of gov't imposed change.
