Concerning your point about the Electoral College, states could choose to grant electoral votes based on percentage of the popular vote in that state. In fact some (Maine and Nebraska) do. I still agree that it needs to go but, Constitutional Amendments are quite difficult to get passed. On your second point, I…

One thing about Japan. When we (the Americans) 'helped' Japan write its new constitution after the end of World War 2, an article was included, Article 9, that effectively removes their right to have a standing military. Their 'Self-Defense' Force is a nice side-step and, while he was Secretary of State, Colin…

I certainly hope you aren't female...didn't both of those characters (I actually haven't played all of Bayonetta yet...) have some severe mother issues?

I've done the 100+ GB thing a couple times. My normal usage is between 5-10 GB/month and some months I end up pulling 25+. That's why I'm on Sprint. I don't know if I'll be going overboard in one month or not so I stick with a company that still offers unlimited data.

The funny thing about that statement is, the fact that Detroit Metropolitan Airport is actually in Romulus, MI ^_^

Now, I never said that I'd be in a hurry to install anything with real thinking capacity INSIDE of my head. I just want a way to connect the brain inside of me to a computer outside of me with just enough hardware client-side to handle the connection protocols and a nice security (AV/firewall) suite inside of my…

I would be willing to join the first round of human testing of a completely immersive mind machine interface. This is just something that I've been looking forward to for most of my life. I can remember thinking like this when I was six or seven (1991-1992) before I even knew about the internet or really much about…

So that's the title of this piece of BGM. Nice ^_^

Ok, I see your point concerning these endings. However, just as these endings match your characters what about the people who try to play a 'perfect' hero? The players who purposely go back to a previous save every time they make a minor mistake just to get that 'perfect' playthrough. Personally, I'm not quite that…

That's when they put in the bid but regulatory approval only came through a few months ago.

Normal Black Tetras can't live in freshwater, they're saltwater fish. I thought the same thing until I read about that second modification. This could possibly cause an issue, or worsen an existing one, considering the number of non-native species already in Floridian waters.

Umm...the speed of light is approximately 186,282 miles per second. 11/186,282~=5.9e-5 that's 0.0059% I think you misplaced a decimal there.

I personally use full words and punctuation in my SMS's. I often end up editing my messages to make them fit inside the character limit though.

I must agree with Smarchy, I have a (non-tech savvy) friend who has a Transformer Prime...the poor woman was trying to run .exe files on Android. Fortunately that particular program for her course-work had an Android version but I learned (again) that many people will assume that if it looks like a laptop, and not…

What exactly is the point of imposing sanctions against the citizens of Iran for what their government is doing. The citizenry there is in less control of their government than we are here in the US! Are we hoping that pissed off Iranians will overthrow their government or something?

Really? I've been using Google's 2-factor authentication since it became available and the issues that you've described seem to be related to the need for an application-specific password for certain applications and devices. These passwords allow you to evade 2-factor for the application in question. For example,…

If I remember correctly, you don't need an active connection except when you are initially setting up the GAuth 2-factor authentication types. The SMS based ones are different but I just tested my LastPass one while data was turned off on my phone and it worked just fine.

That was just the amount of time they spent on the surface the first day. Not the total amount of time spent outside the lander for the entire mission.

This is an interesting day for this. Here in Michigan there's a state law that forces non-year round schools to start no earlier than the day after Labor Day. So, the kids around here still have a week of vacation left. Mind you, this has been the law since the late 90's so when I was a student I had no issue with…

I just set it up. That was pretty simple.
