Never in the realm of sanity would a number formatter return NULL. Null for numbers is 0. NULL in this case would mean the memory location was.....drum beat.....NULL!
There are also aerogel super-caps available that can buffer/store significant amounts of power. So you are not limited to a microsecond of ample power--the super-caps act as batteries and filters and they are much more durable.
Doesn't work that way dipshit. You can go to the emergency room and declare that you cannot pay. You get no bill and no mark on your credit. You can even use an alias!
And the government has become a being onto itself when it is supposed to be a silly benevolent arm of the people. This sucks. I always wax optimistic, but now I question whether things really are sliding into an abyss.
Not necessarily. The "tax" is MUCH smaller than health insurance premiums, and it's not like you can't wait on getting health insurance until you really need it (that preexisting condition mandate comes in handy).
This is what I plan on doing. I wonder how many others are eyeing this loophole. They will have to get very invasive to close it.
Yes, but you are assuming he would be the only one doing when he in fact advocates everyone having this option which would indeed turn the medical industry into a real market. You know, where prices are set based on what people are willing to pay in a competitive landscape. Your capacity for analysis is obviously weak.
I have seen no evidence that the uninsured are the ones weighing down the system. In the last month of a person's life they can easily spend more money on healthcare than they do their entire life. That is why a Comparative Effectiveness broad was established in the stimulus package, and why a National Coordinator for Healthcare Technology was established in Obamacare. What are those agencies for? I think the real weight on the healthcare system is the poor health of baby boomers and the greed of the various players in the medical industry. But, they got us fighting among ourselves and blaming each other, and small business picking up the tab. Mission accomplished.
Yes, you will be subsidized if you cannot afford it, BUT your employer will be penalized when you are subsidized. This is fine if we had a very healthy economy that rested on top of a simplified tax code but we do not. From now until 2014 there is going to be a big fight and thousands of small businesses are going to be in emergency/restructuring mode. Your employer will be aware of who they are getting penalized for. This will cause a move to hire those who already carry insurance and those who will be likely to continue carrying their own insurance (young people from wealthy neighborhoods), and it will usher in an environment where employers prefer many temporary employees over full-time and "find" ways of having less than 50. This is just the start of the litigation and tweaking that is going to be done with this law. When they were trying to pass it I was one of the people who wanted single payer or nothing. Give us debit cards with our health care allowance, levy the necessary taxes, and let the market figure it out. This is a mish-mash of complicated circumstances that the government is not qualified to handle or legislate. It has to be simple.
The judges obviously chickened out on this (a shout-out to the four dissenters). In all practicality they called it unconstitutional, which it is, and fell back to calling it a "kind of tax." What are we going to make into a tax next?
Very good point. I was thinking that it was pretty cheap using any one of several CC services ($2.50 per minute, regular rate). But this would be even cheaper for the video producer to handle than say putting off on each distributor like Netflix. I think this lies on the content creator, not the distributor.
And restaurant POS systems print copious amount of paper trail, so if the system goes down the transactions aren't lost in a brain-dead computer system.
Hell no. Most small businesses are using a dedicated, regulated POTS line. Regulated for quality by federal law. If something goes wrong someone is out to fix it immediately.
You stupid fuck. Enterprise edition is $65000.00 dollars per server. He's asking about duct taping something together and you suggest a software license in this price range?
Have commodity hardware that is already setup and working as your backup. Restore the database backups to it. It is called a test server. Very cheap insurance and GREAT peace of mind.
Enough cloud paranoia. Small businesses often have shitty internet service, even business class, that can go out for a day at a time. The weakest link is the last mile.
Uh....if you can't afford to buy decent hardware then why are you playing with MS SQL Server? Oh, that's right, you spent the money on licenses. Anyway, if you want fail-over you need to setup the server properly using the required hardware. You can't have something for nothing. Seriously, you used a fighterjet when all you needed was a Cessna. You platform choice reaks of microsoft hammer syndrom. Whoever developed your system knew Visual Studio.NET and saddled you with this costly burden.
If it were me I would use MySQL, automated backups, and an image or VM standing by with extra commodity hardware. Hell, just use this scenario with your current setup.
Another thing, I hope you're using quality harware even if it isn't redundant. Or is this a wal-mart setup?

Wow.
yo dawg.

Bet you look super cool!
I'm giving an up-vote to "a wizard summoning a space unicorn to be ridden by a hot babe."

Votes. There is a lot of vote buying in the law.

Best sub-thread in this whole mess of shitty head-in-the-sand bullshit yammer.

Despite everyone's taxes my town just disbanded the fire department. We pitched in, and it failed.

Why would they want anyone from Oxford? Are they going into government policy or public service? Never mind.

During a failure the likelihood of another failure, statistically, goes through the roof.

I distribute my software to the world without reserve of any kind. Whoever it helps, I help...period.
