Sucks but it is the reality of our current situation.
Though you could analyze the situation and make a point that it doesn't suck. Let's use "building a machine that consumes no resources but puts out a large amount of energy".
Cost to company = $x develop machine to gain a net positive on energy output with no loss.
Cost to consumer = cheaper then coal factories but still at a cost.
As the two intercede the free energy company will have marginal costs and huge income making the profits incredible. Hence it's a truly great idea because the profits are amazing.
It's why vc's like tech companies so much cost is a small staff and bandwidth. With huge profits.
and what is so wrong about "This is so obvious that if I don't do it, someone else will"? Twitter is so freaking obvious that most of us software developers glazed over the concept of web interfaced instant messaging... Yet it (will/have) billions in profits.
A truly great idea is measured in profits.
Then you can't complain that douche x won because you didn't want douche y to win. If you don't like either candidate throw your vote at 3rd party candidate z.
And more important; why do people call Democrats Liberal and then rant how they want bigger government. Liberal literally means to liberate people from their government. Never really made sense to me (ellipsis)...
There are literally _tons_ of android phones with keyboards: Verizon Droid2, T-Mobile G1/G2, Sprint Moment and Epic, and that's just dusting the playing field.
Now, I agree, I won't be buying the Nexus S for two reasons, A) Why pay full price for a phone that doesn't even support 4g and B) no keyboard.
I WANT MOD POINTS, this is exactly how it is. People look, you don't vote because the politician is "bad" (there could be many reasons) but their is a 3rd party you would support. So vote 3rd party, if everyone got off their fucking highhorse these 3rd parties would give them a run a for their money.
So start voting, become proactive to those who don't vote and make sure they understand that it is worthwhile.
Here is a good example, almost 70% of the population of the US didn't vote in the last election cycle. Trust me that 70% could CRUSH any other candidate.
I'm an apple hater to the nth degree, but I've been able to use them for work and they are really nice. I would mention that they would be 100 times superiour with support for a pen device and text/image translator (to something like Enterprise Architect or w/e mac's equiv of VISIO is). Beyond that the device is very simple and that's the difference. It's even simpler then my dumbed down android (which is buggy and slow yet I still love it. DON'T BY A SAMSUNG MOMENT).
Anyways that's my 2cents I could see the older generation loving these for games and work force generation (like me) for email, calendar events, and if it had a pen device (the one reason I haven't bought one) for quick notes jotting.
Simplicity and seamlessness is worth it's metaphorical weight in gold.
"NO ability to cross state lines to get a different health care service (which, admittedly, could be done at the state level)"
So wait, you are saying you want federal rights to supersede state rights? That's very democrat of you, I thought republicans were for smaller government.
HSA and High Deductible plans do not help anyone.
What about public health care, you guys thoroughly kicked that out of congress, it was a strong contender.
Increased budget, all he's really passed that would increase budget is the SECOND set of bailouts (after your great and powerful leader GWB passed the first), and Obamacare which the one passed is kinda shit on a stick because he was trying to appease your caucus. If you ask me he should have reigned control over the democrats and forced a vote through with a real bill instead of trying all of this bi-partisanship crap. Shit would have actually happened in the last two years.
Almost everything he has tried to do has been fought tooth and nail by the republicans even when they said "We will support this". This whole election has been like nails on chalk to me, the republicans blaming Obama for the fact that it's raining outside even though they said that raining would be good for the economy. I'm so sick of this, how can you really fall for it? I would also like to point out, because of GWB's action and continued action by Obama (supported by the republicans, remember STIMULUS fucking championed by the republican party till it didn't do so hot, then it was all democrats) that our unemployment numbers have leveled out and employment is on the rise. I'm just ready for something new and the republicans are still giving the new GOP cut taxes, up spending, increase debt; or well in this case they are saying pay down debt but cut taxes that is a logical fallacy since they aren't going to touch HHS or the military which makes up for 60% of our national projections, and interest makes up another 15%. That's 75% and the other 25% is fairly needed to, so you tell me how are we going to pay off our debt? (BTW, HHS + Medicaid is ~850billion while DoD is ~600billion, it's been awhile since I've looked at the numbers but memory seems to be serving me that those two are right, I do know HHS and Medicaid is much bigger then DoD)
I honestly don't give a fuck if I'm modded troll for this, I'm your a-typical conservative but I can't stand the incredible level of bullshit spewed by the republicans and the fucking pussy ass pandering the democrats did. I'm so tired of this, give me something real.
WRONG.ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Ok caps off, what do you think they do when they get the biweekly amount of cash? Throw it in a bank for next year, that's a joke! They invest it in attempts to raise their profits, typically in the US dollar or as loans to the US. Either way if a lot of people did it, it would make a (very) substantial impact on the government. On a plus note, you could put that tax money into an interest bearing CD and come out ahead.
One case doesn't make an entire agency bad. If that's the case let me hand Jamal a gun and you stand 50 feet away. I wager he will unload a whole clip before he hits you. Point is, as racist as that sounds because Jamal could have some training, that one person inexperienced, nervous, etc will screw up.
All you have to do is negotiate. Tell people No, and you will lose a few job offers but if you are actually worth your weight you will get the good pay. Understand, I'm also at the top of my pay grade out here so you have to contend with that too.
Seriously, when did the FCC grow a pair? This is fantastic there have been things coming out left and right that seem like they are shutting down the anti-competitiveness of cable companies and for the consumer. All good things must come to an end though, I am afraid what really bad piece they are waiting for to come out. I'd totally vote for the person driving all this over at the FCC for president. He totally freaking rocks.
The freaking heart of the midwest, I make 130k with 5 years experience and no degree (Java Dev). I wouldn't make much more in California or New York City. I don't get how it will be cheaper but I'm good with them bringing more jobs out here. Even though I already have my pick of jobs, it will only increase my worth that much more (since skilled talent is actually hard to find out here). Good plan big corps, I love the concept of going to 200k/year.
Actually, I do lock my bedroom door at night. If someone breaks into my house I may not hear them but if they try to break into my room I'm most likely to hear them giving me time to grab my gun and get into a vantage point where I'm well protected from return fire but have a great shot on anyone walking through the door. Even if they knock down the door with the first strike they are likely to grab for the handle first which will wake me up and if it doesn't the kicking down the door part will allow me time to roll off the side of the bed and pull the gun from under my bed and load it.
Man if I had mod points I would totally give you one, I was going to say the exact same thing. Current laws already protect us, and you have to secure your site because these laws only cover the US.
Wait are you telling me that The Core isn't absolutely and completely scientifically accurate?!?!!?!?! Damn it and I was so close to finishing my own diamond encrusted earth cruiser.
I'm pretty much in that case, but instead of generating happiness all this stress free time has made me reflect causing me to be depressed. Sure I don't have to worry about money but what do I do with my newly opened free time? I have a wife and a child but I'm at work when the child is awake and at home only with enough time to melt on the couch and watch tv.
On the weekends there's nothing really to shop for as I own it or it's out of my reach so all I can do is lay around with nothing to do. As much fun as playing with my son is he want's to do thing's on his own. So the question is, what do I do with all my money when I don't have time? I could retire early, but then I would just have this massive void of time with nothing to do.
If that was the case and it wasn't for profit, why would they require a secret contract? I get why the resistors were initially added but I'm not understanding why it needs to be a trade secret.
While it is true that the energy/weight ratio favors the Li-ion. I think it's fair to assess that the rapid recharge feature is a fairly big deal here. 90% power in 5minutes is a huge selling point to the consumer who is concerned that s/he is only able to drive 120mile; wait eight hours; drive another 120miles.
Thank you to you and the GP, this is exactly it. You learn on your own, but if you want to get the certificate that says I've studied at location X then you have to pay for it. I'm a second semester drop out because of this dawning point, yet I'm still considered one of the best in my field because I'm ready to learn. I'm always staying at the top of my game by studying. There isn't a thing I cannot do in my field that would require me to go to a university.
Off/On topic, it's part of the reason I've set my course to retire in a few years, I've averaged $80/hr@60hr/wk pay for the last 4 years. I've paid off my house, assured my child future, I have saved 280,000 aside and when the economy collapsed I invested it (so without doing calculations it has grown almost 5 fold). A couple more years and I'm going back to school for start-to-finish Drs in aerospace engineering. There are certain resources I cannot obtain on my own.

Paying for cable instead of internet+netflix is still more expensive for a crappy service.

Tell that to the two independents in the house of representative last cycle.
