What you meant was "there are more white men using drugs than black men"
Your source proves that black men are more likely to use drugs (even if it is marginally).
Still a bad analogy.
You were sold a cup of copy with unlimited refills. Then you go and pour your coffee into everyone's thermos while continuing to refill it.
Exactly, the CEO tells people things that are important to your company (and thus your job in the sense that if the company does poorly you might be out of one). They assume that their employees are interested in opportunities to help support their company, which may not be true.
I get these all the time, if I bother to read them I certainly think of them as a suggestion and nothing more.
Now if you were a high level employee and were found out you were lobbying against the interest of the company that is a completely different story (and justifiable from the shareholders point of view).
The message he delivered was what needed to be delivered for that period of time.
The people needed the Old Testament to survive (hence the sterner God, and tons of rules which were meant for them to protect themselves from disease, etc).
Those were no longer applicable later so he repealed them or something.
Water isn't free. You pay for clean water via your taxes and/or water bill. Or you buy it bottled.
Isn't it amazing how some people act like water falls free from the sky.
I know that was said as a joke, but in many communities around the country a normal property owner may not have rights to the surface water on their land (including rainfall).

Mod parent up. I too enjoy watching Starcraft better than playing it now a days. For everyone saying that pro-gaming is easy or lame or is just button pressing, you need to watch some Starcraft matches with english commentary.
I can't say much for other games as I only watch Starcraft, but comparing professional Starcraft matches to your everyday game play is like comparing flag football with your buddies to the NFL.
We used these the last time I voted. Basically you fill out a paper ballot and bring it to a scanner. The old guy there tells you to feed it in and you do so. The counter on the scanner increases by 1 telling you that the ballot was accepted. If there was an error the counter doesn't increase and the ballot is spit out. You shred it and do a new one. It stays anonymous, it doesn't tell anyone who you voted for, just that your ballot can be counted.
Nintendo usually seems fine with homebrew. The DS & Gameboy have active homebrew communities and Nintendo doesn't say aything about them as long as no one talks about copying games.
I assume they won't mind homebrew or do anything about homebrew on the Wii unless the hack makes it easy to copy games.
I like the link in the top right hand corner, "Report Waste, Fraud, and Abuse."
Perhaps everyone should go report the 'PRO IP Act of 2007,' If its not guitly of all three of those, I don't know what is.
The Linux title is a joke I don't really car if it does run it or not. Don't get my post wrong I am impressed with its abilities, but in the end I want to be able to customize it more. Not just add new abilities (again so far they haven't mentioned their development kit at all on their website, is it still even going to be released?), but customize the learning algorithms and sensor interactions (in one article I read it said there would be extremely limited ability to interact with some sensors). I'm not saying it isn't work $350, it just isnt worth $350 to me if I can't take it further.
It doesn't seem like their development kit (which I can't even find an official reference to on their website) can do much. That makes it useless to people that want to do more than play with it until someone finds a way to crack it to run custom code.
The touch table was developed by Applied Minds, which then spun off Touch Table inc.
Its been out since 2005 and uses different technology than Microsoft.
Northrop Grumman is doing the software, integration, support, setup, delivery, etc., but didn't make the actual table.
You have to put in some protections, like you can't let someone choose their song 'on demand.' Which means you must limit the amount of songs a person can skip, you can't let them rewind or replay something that streamed. You also have to make a reasonable effort to prevent copying. I'm sure there are more rules those are just the ones I know off the top of my head.
There was a story on our local news a month ago about a guy who bought a truck for a great deal (they didn't give the actual numbers). A couple days after trading in his old car and paying for the new one they told him he had to bring the truck back and they had made a mistake in selling it for the price he got. When he didn't take it back they towed it from his house back to the lot and the news crew found that they were actively trying to sell it again. Their excuse was that he should have known the deal was to good to be true.
FUD?
"REGULATIONS.Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this section, the Attorney General shall issue regulations governing the retention of records by Internet Service Providers. Such regulations shall, at a minimum, require retention of records, such as the name and address of the subscriber or registered user to whom an Internet Protocol address, user identification or telephone number was assigned, in order to permit compliance with court orders that may require production of such information."
So where does is say they must store chat logs, browser habits, etc?
Get an Internship. At my University we learned C++ and a dozen other languages that few people actually use in the real world (prolog, sml, scheme, assembly, etc..). The only time I ever programmed on Windows was when I was using SSH to get into a linux box. I got an Internship and told them I would work for free just to get the experience (they ended up paying me 1.5x more than I was making doing computer repair on the side). There I learned all the real world tools. Programming in windows with Visual Studio, C#, Java, SQL, PHP, etc. Computer Science is not software engineering, but I wouldn't trade that knowledge for anything. If my company needs something developed in a language no one know they come to me rather that one of the dozen 40/50 year olds who know Cobolo, Pascal, C, or C++ and majored in Mathematics or Physics. Anyone can learn to program, but what is really valuable is the ability to adapt to changing requirements. I think Computer Science lays that foundation.
However, nothing beats experience. Universities should partner up with software engineering firms to offer a Software Engineering class that is half internship half class (get a combination of credit hours and some money). Teaching software engineering is a joke. How many companies grab 5 computer scientist, and let them define the requirements, structure and then go out and write it? Some customer defines all the requirements, some manager that hasn't programmed for a dozed years (if at all) tells you how to make it, and you will probably jump into a project where thousands of thousands of lines of code have already been written because you are modifying an existing program to save some time.

Yes, but I believe the defense has to request it (and pay for its cost if they lose).
Wait? Why are we making exceptions?
Except with T-mobile...

Then why does everyone keep saying we are all Keynesian's now?
Might want to try taking a look at what Jefferson had in his library: http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/becites/main/jefferson/88607928.toc.html

You forgot the obligatory, "get off my lawn."

So Japan is banning headphones & handhelds while European carriers are adding mini cell towers and wifi to their planes?
