Here’s real-world evidence of why you’re right: because even though technology levels the playing field, those with power (governments and corporations) use the POLITICAL process to constrain the impact of any technological flattening of power.

Well, here’s just one example: “Technology to Facilitate Financial Access”.

I think it would be great until all the dry erase leavins’ got all over your hands, bag, and well... everything.

If you’re using them with a credit card, there really should be no animosity, but some animosity comes from what happens when things go wrong with attached bank accounts. Paypal has had issues in the past with freezing consumer bank accounts. The rules and protections that consumers have when this happens are not as…

I guess you didn’t see Nate Silver’s brief analysis? There is apparently reason to be skeptical. Although it wouldn’t surprise me. People have been screaming for years about the vulnerabilities inherent in the electronic voting machines and the e-voting companies just keep ignoring them.

The world is so much easier to understand when you can label, judge, and feel superior to others isn’t it? Show us the way!

I think it is more deliberate than that. From the Washington Post:

I was thinking similarly. In particular, the most sick I ever got was facing rear-ward in an old station wagon. I didn’t barf, but I was green for the rest of the day.

While I long ago changed my mind about Unions (for the positive), where I struggle is what organization tends to do for those without power and money. There are many examples (DNP, RNP) where the organizations themselves appear to exist solely to sustain themselves and retain power as opposed to doing what is best…

You are the hero we need AND deserve right now.

I’m struggling to come up with a cookie or group of cookies that *wouldn’t* fit under those types.

Huh. I stopped using it because I found a bunch of sites that wouldn’t accept the “+” as a valid email address character. It screwed up my approach.

That’s ok. I watch the news... can we really say that I’m better off?

That is NOT a good price for 10' x 10' canopy. As just one example, Dick’s often has them on sale for 49.99. This is one item were searching and possibly patience will reward you.

I’m not sure that’s a correct interpretation what is going on and that’s probably the fault of my initial posting. The CFAA was enacted in 1986 and the cases that where violation of terms of service are at issue have been in the last decade.

This is great, but personally, I would wait until the government decides whether it wants to criminalize violations of terms of service via the CFAA or not.

Hey, hey, hey, you’re BOTH right—no need to fight about it... wait... that’s even worse. Ugh.

I’m really surprised by the amount of baking powder. I use 3 tblsp for 3 cups of flour. I don’t feel like they are overly fluffy or taste weird.

Your opinion I guess. I admittedly can’t find/remember the other source I read, but that one I’ve been reading for nearly a decade and includes insight from both Paul Alan Levy (Public Citizen Litigation Group) and Ken White (PopeHat) on a regular basis. The author of that post, Mike Masnick is well-versed in legal…

Roger that.
