I would imagine that most Linux users have learned to hate Access. Who might this appeal to?

Audio is much better for transient stuff like news, not so much for reference.

>Even just reading that home screen brings back strange sense memories. Agree. It's like a smell memory. For me, I'm transported back to playing MINERVGA.

No. The executive branch does not have the power to strike down laws it sees as unconstitutional. That is the power of the courts. The executive should follow the laws as written.

No, outside of secession, there is no way for states to nullify federal law. This is why the federal government should be extremely limited in its dealings, the rest remaining with the state and local authorities.

Agree. Functional programming made no sense to me until I came back to it after years of writing complex data warehousing SQL.

I thought this was tried in the 90s. Everyone hated HMOs because of the byzantine restrictions they placed on care without lowering costs.

I wouldn't call an office with drinks and dogs normal, not in most parts of the country.

Well it's private, so it's harder to get information about. The tech is ancient, and it's not on the coast. Not sure what the coverage would be about, really.

This is the first time I've seen someone hold up the Post Office as model that should be followed for anything. What makes you think that this model would be less monopolistic than the one we have today?

Or because Net Neutrality is not as popular in the society at large as it is in the SF headquarters of big tech companies.

I think competition was more responsible for free long distance than the cost of billing customers.

Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote. The Republicans took over congress largely as a result of the unpopularity of the policy and the process.

Do you really have problems with Bluetooth connection when the speaker is touching the phone?

You're conflating public sector vs private sector (Government vs Non-Government) with publicly traded vs privately held. GE is in the private sector, but publicly traded.

That's not true. I have mild allergies. It's not a life and death decision to get care or not. If the costs outweigh the benefits, I will opt out.

Yep, those are the reasons in the US also.

You think it would be more palatable to Republicans if more money went to the government for the privilege of making taxes less transparent?
140.
by hnal943 10y ago
I think that's optimizing the wrong thing; people should be aware of the amount they are paying in taxes.

I just found out this week that my wife has never played snake, and is unfamiliar with the concept.

Try going to a grocery store with kids. It's not as fun as advertised. That said, before kids I loved going to the store.

That's crazy. Almost every couple I know is single income, in order to better provide for the kids. It's not a requirement.

I thought this, but I've moved on to board games. I don't like being tied to the television and it feels like it puts the focus back on my friends instead of the game.

That's great unless you are anything but a commuter, carrying little and traveling by yourself.

by hnal943 10y ago
Yes. Maybe the people who want that already live in dense cities and the rest of the country is happy with the way it is.

Have you ever met a bicyclist? Self-righteousness is as essential to that lifestyle as spandex pants.

Congress makes laws. The President can try an persuade, but the ultimately can only either sign the bill or not.

"critter" is a corruption of "creature" and distinctly southern USA (to my Midwestern ears).

Have you looked at Calculords? It's a similar type of game with an interesting IAP strategy of offering additional content. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninjacrime...
