"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

more like you had your ignition switch replaced by an independent mechanic, who might have installed one that also takes a second key for thieves to use or collects the pattern of your key so they can steal it later.

so Chrysler triggers a remote switch that activates the thermite cartridge and burns down the car, so that nobody steals it and the things inside, or maybe does a crime that could be traced back to you because of your license plate.

well

you have to tab twice to get into the password field

because the "some accounts may not be available" ball in the username field is a tab target for some reason

* they just have funky and stupid combinations that involve the squiggly square or carets or some such

they broke the home/end/insert keys in osx specifically so they could remove them from the keyboard. when you press the delete button on something in osx it does not delete.
