The states distribute the funds. The funding is specific on what it is used for. The House of Representatives are really the decision makers there. They are the ones with the power to spend money.
Screw my karma with this but I have to say it. First, what he did was not fine. We have standards here and he crossed the line. What if everyone rushed out running over people. Second, by pissing people off he accomplished nothing. Say something and that may or may not get to help you with your cause. Make them mad at you and you get nothing. I don't know about mosquitoes but you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Not just private money. Some money was pumped into schools that should shutdown because of population shifts. Now we have thirty or so schools in the district that are less than half full and a bunch of money pumped in them for technology upgrades. Now they are just pissing money down the drain and will continue for years to come. The money wasted on these schools far exceeds the money that they were given by the Gates foundation.
The shift of demographics may not be on the side of office. More and more computer users are becoming more open to alternatives. I think we are close to having a good alternative for average users when it comes to an Office type suite. On the other hand we are a bit off when it comes to the complexity of some business users. Now if you add in security concerns and the no internet connection no production problem, it becomes hard for a business to switch to that environment. The better choice for a business is a self hosted web based solution. That will eliminate OS dependence for most companies as long as the browser technology is there.
If either family has no history of certain illnesses, then I would say no. It is like buying flood insurance when you live on top of a hill. Things can happen but the probability is small. My understanding is that these chord blood storage banks are just used for your child in case of cancer, immune disorders, etc. and are not used for research. I could be wrong about that part.
BTW, I am a father of one and one on the way in March.
Two different things. One is a service that Best Buy/Geek Squad has determined the price for. The other is a product by Valusoft that probably suggests a price of about $20.
You can argue that one can get it for free, but what about no internet connection or dial-up only. $20 is a deal over praying for a good iso over a 56k modem. I will assume that the Xbox doesn't work with dial-up, so the question is is $30 worth it.
Packaging cost, labor, taxes? I'm sure a pretty box and instructions are far from cheap, even if the instructions are insert cd, reboot, enjoy. It is not like you are purchasing cd that someone burned the image and wrote on it with a sharpie. So yes it does take a lot to get a return on investment.
There is a lot of computer jobs out there that doesn't require hacking out a lot of code:
System Admin;
DBA;
work with a GIS package (geographic information system not google image search);
You may have picked up more than what you think. So don't dismiss programming unless you just hate to code.
because we don't just one brand on the market. I remember when we had 33MHz jumps for hundreds of dollars. Intel could charge what they wanted because they were the only player in the game. They had no reason to come out with a faster cpu. Without AMD we probably would be waiting for P3 500s to come out.
I don't play many games on my computer or do anything with 3D modeling, so I can deal with the on-board or a low end GPU. This make AMD an attractive CPU-GPU bundle.
Let us talk dept for a moment. Dems say we can't mess with any welfare program such as social security, medacaid, or medacare. They want to give free healthcare to everyone. How do we pay for this and add more? We can't afford what we are doing. We are discouraging people to work. I won't be able to afford my house when I am paying 60% or more in income tax alone. Remember the government can't give you anything. The government doesn't have a job. It can only take and redistribute. If it goes after business for the money the cost gets passed to the consumer, and once again you take it. The answer to debt is simple - Stop spending money. Thomas Paine said that the duty of a patriot is to protect his country from his government. I am willing to vote for someone that will not take everything that I have and give it to some lazy ass, some business, or some other country. I should choose which lazy ass, business, or country to give my money to. If a charitable cause is that important to you give to a charity that helps them or start one for yourself.
FYI Vietnam was on LBJ's watch.
I am very much of the old thought of the best way to screw something up is to let government get involved. I would like to say that I openly support Ron Paul. After that I will take Romney as President. The other two are Democrats, just like Bush. You can't spend my money like it is going out of style and call yourself a Republican. I swear after this we just need to re-brand ourselves as classical liberals and look at the theories of Milton Friedman, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, and others for the guidance of our party. The best way for the federal government to handle an issue is not get involved. Let the states decide and stop subsidizing everything. I have the hardest time twice a month knowing that my tax dollars are going to something I am at moral odds with. This lets a Peta member not pay for the meat industry, pro-life people not pay for abortions, and people that hate art not pay for an artist to create junk he can't sale.
Cloning seem wrong from an evolution standpoint because it does not support natural change. Am I wrong about that? Cloning also seems wrong from a religious standpoint because it is unnatural. Could this be the common ground between the two? I just want to know.
We have people in the office that complain about the gigabit connection that they have now. Make it a tenth of the speed and all hell breaks loose. It will help with internet access for people doing demo, sales reps, etc. that are not here all the time or visiting for whatever reason. Until there is a faster, more secure, easier to setup wireless solution I will go with no.

Removing knee-jerk reactions and looking at it objectively when it comes to pulling the plug would be nice, but someone will without thought.
Here in the States it is getting harder to find a MT.
Microsoft will force an upgrade. No business will be able to get XP and that is all it will take to get the ball rolling.
Nah, just soaking your testicles in boiling coffee should keep you from reproducing.

The only thing that could make this post better would be a flow chart.
I would hope that you would use Impress over Powerpoint when trying to drive people away from Microsoft. Else you really suck at your job.

Tomatillo Gazpacho has my vote for the greenest soup.
Just give the worker iTunes credits. Then that could lead to an iUnion and an iStrike. It would be just like my grandfather's time in the coal mines.
But we keep getting fooled.

That is part of the plan. You need C3PO to translate. That will cost you another $3k.
