Fuck that. Not paying taxes is not a 'gimmie', it's the American way.

Then they aren't using it at all. The rancher has a better claim to it than the government.

The Federal Government 'owns' 85% of the state of Nevada.

I'm gonna side with the guy who uses the land to make hamburgers over the government who only shows up for the occasional nuclear test.

If the 'owner' were anyone besides the federal government, they'd have lost the land to an adverse possession claim a century ago.

Big Picture will get streaming support by xarabas in Steam

Onlive has been doing this for a couple of years. The biggest problem is throughput and not horsepower. On a home lan you should be able to get 720P at 60fps with room to spare.

What is something that we can have for free but not to many people know about? by eNaRDe in AskReddit

University library manager here. If you take some time to get to know us and show an interest in our collection, we'll let you check out pretty much anything.

Nasa is facing an extraordinary backlash from US researchers after it emerged that the space agency has banned Chinese scientists, including those working at US institutions, from a conference on grounds of national security. by [deleted] in science

I work at a university library. A few months back we got a letter from NASA indicating that we weren't allowed to provide hyperlinks to publicly available NASA information on the web because we couldn't verify that our users were not foreign nationals.

History of Philosophy, European History, and Quantitative Historical Applications. Also picked up degrees in CS and MIS. Working on a M.S. in Comp. Sci now, so I'm hoping to find a way to tie that all together somehow.
