Unless he is snorting shrimp, I could care less if the man got caught with drugs decades ago.
Replace standard rifle with an assault rifle and there is your answer. Also, if the bullet traveled in a parabolic arch, it could have easily traveled several miles.

And, your Google Maps are wrong.

It's not even a 6km drive from one city center to the other (3.7 miles). The difference from one city edge to the other is only a few hundred feet.

Then why isn't there an emphasis on the types of guns or bullets that could potentially have a range like this? It's not written like a technology or gadget piece.
It's not magical that a bullet can travel over a mile, especially if it is an assault round.
It's entertaining to make light of something so serious and so close to our borders, especially by comparing it to the assassination of a former President. Maybe Hamilton Nolan should be the one to report news about Mexico.

Edit: And how does this pertain to gadgets? Even the articles I posted above originated from Gawker.

The problem is that you are pulling definitions of a populist in the context of the populist party, and not as an adjective describing the motives of Anonymous. Here is a good excerpt here from Wikipedia:

It can be understood as any political discourse that appeals to the general mass of the population, to the "people" as such, regardless of class distinctions and political partisanship: "a folksy appeal to the 'average guy' or some allegedly general will."This is in opposition to statism, which holds that a small group of professional politicians know better than the people of a state and should make decisions on behalf of them.

[en.wikipedia.org]

Notice I didn't pull the excerpt from the page about the Populist Party. However, a core tenet of the Populist Party is the appeal to the common man, which in most cases is the majority of the population, hence, their appeal is generally more popular.

It is the same say saying that someone believes in the ideals of a democracy (philosophy) but that does not necessarily make them a democrat (political party). Yes, the populist party carries ideals of populism, or the appeal to the general populous (the appeal to what is popular), but populist sentiment doesn't necessarily have to reflect populist ideals (the party), hence my slavery example. Yes, I am using the terms popular and populist in similar ways because by definition populist sentiment would inherently be a part of what is popular. But to be frank, the Populist Party did not exist during slavery ;) so of course slavery wouldn't be an ideal of the Populist Party, both historically and ideologically.

I am talking about populism as in the appeal or will of the populous, and, in this case, populist rage (in the case of Anon), not populism as defined by William Jennings Bryan and the Populist Party. I think that is what Sam was doing as well (referring to populist as an adjective and not Populist part ideals.

I added a picture of Professor Farnsworth and it didn't show up
The problem is that populist sentiment doesn't necessarily equate to what is right. Slavery, anyone?

And Anon has inconvenienced and hurt a lot of innocent people who are just collateral damage in their design to get lulz. For every tyrannical sheriff you try to take down you also release personal, private information about law-abiding officers. For every financial site you take down, you put at an inconvenience every single person that uses that financial site, even if it is a grandmother who is trying to use paypal to buy a gift for their grandkid. These people don't care about collateral damage.

I see it as almost a bait and switch that we will be so up in arms about this type of ultrasound we will be willing to accept a mandatory traditional ultrasound before abortion can take place. We should be angry that any of this exists, not just this one procedure.

Sorry, I had to giggle at "smaller than Uranus". I guess the question is, what ISN'T?!

*ba dum tssssssss*

Of course it will be a slightly different size. How else will Apple sell all those expensive protective cases and stuff if it works with the almost-identical predecessor?
I think we are getting distracted on the whole wand ultrasound issue and not getting angry enough at the fact that a woman still does not have the full right to choose what to do with her body.
Have fun doing data entry tasks and spreadsheets with a trackpad quickly and efficiently. For those of us to who more than write blog articles (e.g. game, work, etc), a good mouse is indispensable.

I groan in pain when I take my laptop somewhere and forget my mouse, if simply because it is so much easier and ergonomic than to sit there pecking at a touchpad.

Once again, the difference in what you see the need for your technology (which is basically just entertainment and consumption) is different than those who need technology to do graphical or technical tasks that require precision and efficiency.

Same. My guilty pleasure is HGTV and Discovery.
There is the original EVO 4G and the newer EVO 3D (which is also 4G, just has the 3D display). I believe those are the only two EVO models.
I was just about to mention the Thunderbolt and EVO. Sure, it's customized for GSM vs. CDMA and their respective 4G technologies, but their non-carrier hardware is essentially the same. Would you say the Sprint iPhone and Verizon iPhone are different phones?
I wonder how the breakdown would look if we collapsed across phones that are essentially the same thing (e.g. Sprint vs. AT&T vs. Verizon vs. TMobile versions).
Haha, I wear like an 8 1/2 hat size.
