Whose Liberalism?
The terms capitalism and communism are the product of the tortured mind of Karl Marx. What we should have is a free market economy. Something that has been very rare here since the early 1900s.

transform domestic policy.
Republicans have taken impeachment off the table and told him that. So he will do anything he wants, legal or illegal, but mostly illegal. It will be up to well heeled people to lawyer up and take him to court.
He has already lost a major case in PA on his illegal amnesty. But he will ignore it too.

Pensioners are an easy group to empathize with ... old folks who worked all their lives and depend on a benefit that was promised them.
But what moral justification does a pensioner have for raiding MY checkbook ... in the form of government backed pension guarantees ... when said private company or municipality goes belly up and can't provide said benefit ? I say no justification exists - just another case of picking winners and losers based upon political pull.

I posted on that pension thing yesterday. The problem isn't the pension itself. The problem is the government employee unions make sweetheart deals with the politicians for golden pensions and they don't give a damn about what it will cost down the road. And the beleaguered taxpayer gets screwed. And to make matters worse, even when a city declares bankruptcy the judges rule that the pensions can not be renegotiated (that happened in CA)

Accident is what the Ukrainian government spokesman supposedly said. If he is anything like the "utility spokespeople" I dealt with, they have absolutely no clue, and do not have any understanding that Words Mean Something. Which is ridiculous, considering they are "professional communicators," "with college degrees and everything."
The description I saw was like you said, a fault in the generator or step-up transformer. Absolutely nothing to do with the reactor itself.

here are the lyrics to the Daniel Boone tv show's song:
Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With an eye like an eagle
And as tall as a mountain was he!
Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
He was brave, he was fearless
And as tough as a mighty oak tree!
From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan
To the heel of his rawhide shoe;
The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man
The frontier ever knew!
Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
And he fought for America
To make all Americans free!
What a Boone, what a do-er,
What a dream come-er true-er was he!

The GOP campaigns to please everybody. Democrats simply do not - and their approach works.
It would be EXTREMELY effective for GOP candidates to simply show taxpayers the services public schools cut to pay for school administration and union member benefits. But the GOP simply will not in most cases.

Which they've been doing since, roughly, December 2008.
The difference this time is that the rest of the world economy is sliding back into the abyss, so our otherwise very modest gains (and all of those despite (or in spite of) government intervention) look colossal.
People know what's in their pocket books. Gas down around $2.00/gal when it's been closer to $4 (or 5, or 6) is something people notice. And, yes, the President's party is going to get some (most) of the credit for that- no matter that he was actively working against it. "Necessarily skyrocket" is already in the memory hole, after all.
OTOH, since the price of gas is going down because the House of Saud is in a snit against Russia, food prices are *not* going down. People notice that, too.

I already have an Asus Transformer book at home. It's not powerful enough for the development I have to do, but it's plenty fine for documents, web browsing, and some minor games. I love the convertible laptops. Also, it was pretty darn cheap (and for as powerful as it is, that's no small thing).
But if you want "real" games, you'll need to look at something tougher. I can't specifically recommend Dell anymore (which pains me- they used to be the best out there), but I'd look at the Inspiron line from Dell as a benchmark of about what kind of power you can expect at what price-point. Lenovo is a pretty solid brand, in my experience.

That's interesting. I wonder... "historically inaccurate" by whose history? Much of what was going on in the ancient world around then is still more-or-less unknown. Did they screw up the Bible account? Or does Egypt have it's knickers in a twist over the fact that they (well- their ancestors) are portrayed as the bad guys?

External monitors. As a consultant, I work on a laptop anyway. Since you're right- 2 24" screens aren't enough- I already have to deal with external monitors.
But right now I have to deal with hauling around a relatively heavy laptop and it's accessories. A Surface Pro is much smaller and lighter, and has the necessary power to do development.

Yep. I was surprised, too. I've seen a couple of consultants with them, and asked if they really liked them for development. So far the responses have all been purely positive. You do apparently have to restart more often than I like- but I normally use sleep mode, and only actually restart my machine maybe twice a month.

and you're born into a rich, famous, well-traveled family, only-

Will not surprise me I BOTH parties experience a fracture.

This is what I think,too. I live in Michigan and am surrounded by union democrat people. It is amazing how many are fed up with their party. I doubt they would ever vote for a republican but they would definitely vote for a strong third party candidate. Oddly enough, Debbie Dingle getting elected to her husbands seat might far been the bridge too far for them. Detroit is a mess, we all know that, but when Carl Levin retired it was told that he started out as being on the Detroit city council. People are fed up with career politicians because most have been in office long enough to fix things, yet things are far from fixed. So lots of these democrat Union people are questioning things they never really did.

See, that's just crazy-pants. We know who the historical Moses was (more-or-less). Historians and archeologists have placed the Hebrew Rebellion and Exodus (more-or-less). And both of those things fit up with the Bible account (as far as timing, goes. There's obviously still dispute about the whole 'miracles' and 'plagues' thing).
So claiming that Moses and the Hebrews existed before Abraham is... silly.

Elite soldiers of the Queens Guard have pulled back from public positions at many landmarks in response to possible threats from Islamic extremists.
For the first time since the height of the IRAs terror campaign, the soldiers are also no longer allowed on sentry duty alone, and are now accompanied by armed police.
The move to more secure positions behind gates or railings is a direct response to attacks such as the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby and the killing of a sentry by a lone gunman at the Canadian Parliament two months ago.
But the measures have been described as a retreat for the Guards,

At least two of the victims were seriously injured, but all are expected to survive the attack, which took place about 12:30 a.m. inside McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon at 2401 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, said Officer Hugh Carew, a D.C. police spokesman.
Police issued a lookout for a black man of medium height, wearing a trench coat, plaid shirt and black or blue jeans.
The assailant eluded a police search and was last seen heading east on Pennsylvania Avenue, GWU police said in a campus safety alert issued about 2:30 a.m.

Since the available options are "fight back" or "capitulate" and "fight back" means actual fighting with "blood in the streets," they're choosing capitulation. And they're making impossible (or near impossible) for anyone who follows them to reverse that decision because they're more afraid of violence because of doing the right thing than they are of the consequences of doing the wrong thing.

That being said, I do think there's more than a whiff of get off my lawn about this. It's not necessarily cheaper to fix the broken tech thing. For example, the charging port on my S3 broke, as they are wont to do. Now, I poked around online and found the videos on how to fix it and the place to order the parts and it looked like something that I could do. That would have been around $40-50 and taken some time and held the possibility that I would mess up the phone if I did it incorrectly.
For about $25 (yay Priiiiiiimmmmeee), I got a qi charging receiver and a charging pad, slapped the receiver on the battery and, voila, problem solved.
Did I fix the phone? But does the phone now charge? Yup.

CPSC is testing the bounds of the often-heard claim that "If it saves only one life, it's worth it." Do they believe that regulating 100 million holiday items, adding to their $500 million cost, will save one life per year? Or is the true problem not defective products but defective human behavior? No regulation can counteract stupidity; we all do dumb things at times. But fortunately, Clark Griswolds are rare.
... this is the same CPSC that first proposed then backed off requiring that 'marbles' (those glass spheres you called 'Keepsies' as a child), by this I mean each and every marble, have a choking warning on them. As if a child, likely to choke on one, is able to actually read the microscopic warning.

Speaking of that fruity cult, how often do you hear people say "well, my Mac lasts and lasts, whereas your PC needs to be replaced every 2-3 years."
How much did you pay for that Mac?
I still prefer desktops, because, well, I'm an adult, and I type. So... I overpaid for my most recent PC. It cost almost $400.
And it's new. Sure, Windoze 8 bloze, but that's because all the cool kidz want a device that sorta resembles the fruity cult's products. Dollar for dollar though, M$ products are a bargain compared to Apple.

Actually, I agree with you that custom built computer gaming rigs are better. This gets back to the time vs. money vs. convenience factor.
I don't have the time or money to keep up with the latest and greatest in NVIDIA cards. *dumps moar kerosene*
More than likely, I could build my own rig but I want someone else to blame when it goes bad.
Consoles? I slap the game in and it plays. I don't have to fiddle with settings and driver updates and wondering if I buy that spare Cray that the university has lying around will I be able to play Far Cry 4 on ultimate settings.
That's the attraction of the closed universe tech. I don't have to worry if x or y is compatible or if I can use this program with those specs. It's a nice, simple, closed world and I do see the attraction. Says the person who owns mumblety kindles. *koff calibre koff*
I still far prefer being able to pop off the back of my phone and slap a new battery in if needed though.

FWIW, I have a pre-unibody MacBook Pro (17") that's still going strong and it's going on eight years old now.
That said, I have been tinkering with it to keep it going. I had to replace the cooling fans two years ago which was a not-trivial project to do...it basically involved me disassembling the whole damn thing. And the battery finally gave up the ghost a few months ago, but since it's pre-unibody I could just order a replacement third-party battery and plug it in.
It runs Yosemite quite well. And to my kid who wonders why I don't just buy a new MacBook Pro, I tell him that I really doubt I'll get 10+ years of use out of a new one, given that Apple made it such that I can't fix anything in the current gen models.

Windows phones have a lot of suck going for them. Nexus phones seem to just change how they work arbitrarily and, let's face it, Google's just creepy. Window's 8 has been nothing but aggravating, too.
I picked up my first iPhone earlier this year and it does things I want it to do, in a fairly logical manner; so much so that I'm willing to retry a Macbook. I want all my stuff integrated, which I thought Microsoft was on its way towards, but they really don't have any grand vision for getting it done.

One person in 10 can be taught to fly an airplane. One pilot in 100 can fly a Jet. One Jet pilot in 100 can fly a fighter. It is much harder to land a fighter on a Carrier than on a fixed runway. Anyone who has flown a fighter is as rare as an NFL player.

This not fixing things story dates to 1993, when I first realized that the world was inexorably going to hell.
I had bought printer, the kind that was still modeled on a typewriter so it had a platen and the thing with the two rollers that held the paper to the platen. Well, the little rollers were foam rubber and one of them tore and fell off.
So I brought it back to the big box store and said "may I have a new rubber thingie for the platen?" And they said, "no, just take a new printer and we'll send this back to the factory.
In China. For one foam rubber thingie. I grew up in the days when things could be fixed and you were expected to be able to.
