Yeah, because Sarah Palin so looks like a man dressed up as a woman, while Hillary Clinton is such a feminine looking woman./s
Carly Fiorina may be advising the Republican Party, but as far as I can tell, the Republican Party isn't listening. Lyndon LaRouche has advised the Democratic Party for years, but nobody considers him a Democratic Party adviser. Remember, Carly Fiorina's claim to be a Republican political figure primarily comes from her running for Senate in the state of California (a place that considered Arnold Schwarzenegger a conservative).
Well, since I believe that, in general, the correct action when voting is to vote against the incumbent, there is no reason to take your suggested action. I believe that unless there is a very compelling reason to vote for the incumbent, a voter should vote for the challenger. The characteristics of the challenger are almost always irrelevant.
The problem with that is that there is evidence that we are running out of wireless spectrum to connect all of these devices. I don't remember the link, but there was an article here on slashdot not too long ago about offices that are having problems because of all of the wireless devices that people are trying to run in the same space.
I tend to hear things like "the customer service rep at ____ was an idiot! I'm never shopping there again!" I rarely however hear "that government employee was an idiot! I'm never voting ______ again!"
Even less often do you hear, "that government employee was an idiot! I'm never paying taxes to that municipality again." The reason being that I can still choose to not do business with a company that I don't like (although the Supreme Court just ruled that Congress can tax me more if I don't do business with a government favored company).
Democrats are happy to raise taxes on rich people who are unlikely to vote democrat.
Which of course explains why every time they raise the top marginal rate there are so many new deductions that almost nobody pays the new rate. That explanation being that most of the rich do actually vote for Democrats, so the Democrats make sure to give those individuals special deductions to let them get out of paying the new, higher tax rate.
Reducing EITC does not "raise taxes" on poor people, since many people who receive EITC receive a tax "refund" that is greater than what they paid in taxes to begin with.
Yeah, just this past spring at a major pharmaceutical company...and it was the third cohort of machines to start doing it in the two years I was there (Ok, the first cohort of machines started doing it before I started there, but they were validated machines and the first two plans to replace them didn't work, so they were still in production three months ago when I left).
Old people tend to ask you (and not usually politely) where something is when they're actually standing right in front of it.
I worked retail in a bookstore. At the time of this story I was the bookbuyer for the store I worked for. I was out at the customer service desk looking up something in a source that was kept there. This took me about 15 minutes. While I was doing this a young man 16-18 was standing looking at the shelves next to the customer service desk. He appeared to be reading the spines of the books. The section he was looking at was the Science Fiction section. Since I love Science Fiction and am a voracious reader, when I was finished what I was working on, I asked him if I could help him find something. He asked me where the Science Fiction section was. I thought he was joking since he had just spent 5-10 minutes apparently reading the spines of the books in the Science Fiction section. He wasn't. He was just standing there pretending to read the spines until someone offered him assistance.
In short, age has nothing to do with it.
Except that the decision to switch to Win7 is probably made way over the heads of anyone he has ever even seen, so what he has done is found a "solution" that means more work for his co-workers and means that the bosses up the tree who make the decisions about what OS to run won't find out about the problem with hardware compatibility for awhile longer yet.
When has class warfare that became violent revolution been anything other than unmitigated disaster for those who lived through it (possibly excepting those very few who ended up on top)?
No good. Netvibes is an RSS site. I just want a list of sports scores (not stories about scores, just the scores), a weather widget, a time and date widget(not essential, just convenient sometimes), and an email widget that shows the most recent emails in one of my gmail account (or yahoo). Maybe its time to see if I can configure My.yahoo like that. Last time I tried, the closest I could come was my yahoo mail and the weather.
I have been in the process of migrating my yahoo mail contacts to my gmail account because gmail lives on my Igoogle home page. Since Igoogle is going away, I guess I will stop that. I like having my home page be a useful search page, while at the same time displaying what the few things I am casually curious about (sports scores, whether I have new email, the weather, date and time, there are other things on my Igoogle but I never look at those).
For areas east of the Mississippi River, my understanding is that they will not become uninhabitable, merely that the current rate of population growth for those areas is unsustainable. For areas west of the Mississippi River it is more complicated. All of them are experiencing population growth that will soon outstrip the available water supply (frequently they already have and are draining the groundwater reserves faster than they can be replenished). Some of areas rely on groundwater almost entirely, those areas will become uninhabitable when the groundwater supply is depleted (although after a few years a small population could probably be supported again). Other areas will be able to continue to support a much smaller population.
The only reason the government backs cash is because cash developed to solve market problems before it was possible to make a traceable currency. The interest of government in electronic currency is the fact that it is more readily traceable.
Madoff did not get away with his Ponzi scheme because he was smart. He got away with it because the regulators never investigated any of the red flags that should have clued them that something about his scheme was dodgy (partly because Madoff had high powered friends).
OK, NOW you get around to suggesting an alternate solution to the current problem. Up until now you have merely been criticizing as flawed someone's suggestion as to how to fix the current system. Up until this post, you appeared to be criticizing his suggestion as opposed to the current system. Now you claim that you were criticizing his suggestion because you think that your idea is better (which it may be). The current system is broken. The correct way to discuss the system is to put forward your preferred fix and allow debate to follow from there.
That is supposing that, in a world where people currently volunteer to donate their organs, if people could charge for their organs they would only give them if they received such large sums. Or maybe it would turn out that some people would still donate their organs, whereas other potential donors would be willing to sell their organs (or those of their loved ones who have suffered a tragic accident) for the right price?
As opposed to telling people at random, "Sorry, we know you were waiting on a heart transplant, but there are five people a month who will die without a heart transplant, but there are only two of the people a month who die actually signed up to be organ donors, even though there are ten a month whose hearts would be suitable for transplant."
Because the Federal government is not enforcing the laws that it has on the subject. All this Arizona law does is enable local and state law enforcement officers to enforce some provisions of Federal immigration law. They very carefully worded this law to be no stricter than federal law.

So, you never worked at a shop where near the end of lifecycle PC's started randomly losing their BIOS configurations?

If it has them, it needs to put them where I can find them.

Which of course means it is much harder to tell what applications are running in Win 7. It drives me nuts.
Or perhaps the regulators just chose to look the other way because Madoff was politically connected.
Madoff did not get away with his Ponzi scheme because he was smart. He got away with it because the regulators never investigated any of the red flags that should have clued them that something about his scheme was dodgy (partly because Madoff had high powered friends).

But still has fewer available organs than needed or could theoretically be available since potential donors have no incentive to donate.

Do you really think that over 85% of the non-Hispanics in Arizona support this law?
