People act as they find most beneficial for themselves. There is no such thing as altruism(with exception of self sacrifice). American politicians gain most by being door mats for the corporations, while looking "good enough" for their constituents. Even, if they don't look good enough, they can finance a very good campaign, with the contributions from those corporations. It's all about the money.
The only prominent democracy on this planet is Switzerland.
No, the 68% "think" they need Windows on their netbook. (Notice, that the word think is in quotes, because those people don't actually think, they do it on "instinct" and familiarity)
Yet, GNP is the most useless comparison here, and most illogical in conjunction with the term "American". A lot of GNP is not even produced by Americans. I produce GNP for US, yet I am not an American citizen, nor do I work in US.
Americans produce GDP , and produce roughly 15 times more GDP per capita than Chinese. (As per 2008 info)
A lot of people censor themselves. Even though there is no censorship authority, people like to look good in other people's eyes. And there is popular opinion, that is a lot like censorship.
I really pity the fools that think that constitutionless country can exist without any negative side-effects. Brits, get a constitution in ASAP. So that idiots like this guy, who is also a Business Secretary, don't think they can just push through anything past the parliament.
Constitution basically defines a country, while your parliament is basically uncontrolled.
An act like this *should* haunt the perpetrators for the rest of their lives.
That fact(murder) does haunt any person. Just ask any soldier, what were his feeling before and after his first kill. And it haunts any normal(not clinically insane), even if murder was an actual mistake(a.k.a accident -> death from severe allergic reaction comes to mind).
Under this law, how will they increase the number of medical providers?
Be smart. The thing is called social contract. Just like libraries and copyright. Do not allow doctors to practice and do not grant/prolong licenses to doctors that don't contribute to the common good(have minimal public service hours). It work in my country quote well, actually. Doctors get their money, good doctors get more, we get good free health care when we need it and good payed when we want. And there are strict rules and requirements for private hospitals. So the hospital buildings are public and that cuts down the price of health care.
If I remember correctly, there are less unionization in the southern states. So not all workers that work for auto industry, are in UAW and have UAW health care plans.
A) Health care is a right, that is logically derived from the right to live. And the lack of the right to kill yourself.
B) You probably don't understand that a healthy person will contribute more to society than an unhealthy one. In my country, there is some abuse of the medical system, but we are ok to have it. Because we all understand, that that is what it takes to have a population that is not afraid to go to a doctor at an early stage of an illness(to have the illness shortened). Out of that, there are more healthy people that contribute more and longer in form of taxes and other common wealth.
I have the negative experience of using both to this day, and I am still using both at the same time. Both are really crap. Outlook is after on loading time and has good Windows integration. Notes is heavier, but I don't need to switch between 10 different applications, because Notes is THE collaboration application. (I happen to use Notes 8)
Let us just have reality take over. How many women do you know that will "work" after work? None of my colleagues are willing or even think about work after 5. None of men, that stop work at 5 are ever promoted. The reason that women are out of the list, is because they "have better things to do in their lives". Like watching the next episode of some soap opera or do gardening. I am however sorry for those women that have to work double(and sacrifice double) to overcome the fact, that most of their "sisters" are exactly the opposite.
FFS Brits. Do us all a favour, just draft a constitution that ban those unelected sponges from holding offices. You do know, that you don't have that most simple defining document? Is there anything your parliament can't pass as a law?
In the words of David Mitchell: You don't take active interest in how your country is run for 40 years, and look what happens.
And as all other people, who bitch about their apps, you need a laptop. I bought my netbook with the same attitude - "I need to run special software".
After 6 months I can say, that I do not run anything other than Firefox, Thunderbird, IM clients and occasionally some document editing and ssh sessions. Nothing, and I mean nothing is irreplaceable when moving from windows. My sister, who is your stock anti-nerd, will run same stuff as me, except for SSH.

And yet, they loose all of their property in the result of bankruptcy. That includes intellectual property.
Well... In Canada Warner, EMI, Sony BMG and Universal become WESU of Canada, or in short WESUC

When did you buy it!?!?!?!?! Because the $50 price difference is not even remotely possible, since MS license for Win XP on netbooks was about $20.

Do not make me choke!
Just like SPAM vs spam.
expertsexchange is a classic cosmetic surgery joke.

Yet some things have to be there even if they are not supported by the majority. One of the best samples are the ethnic minority preservation laws.
Wasn't Mr. Jefferson a slave owner?

No. That is what hype and misleading advertisements do. MS and Apple are both guilty.

Something like NERVA would be rather controversial due to Partial Test Ban Treaty and Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

Beagleboard and derivatives? I can get a beagleboard based device with WiFi, DVI and sound in eurpoe for Eur150.
