All of the "discoveries" of the universe have and always will be there. The theory of relativity, quantum physics, micro-biology, chemistry.. the list goes on to infinity. All of these have always existed. Are people that full of themselves that simply because enough time and researched elapsed to facilitate it's realization by individuals, that those individuals consider themselves genius or think they have discovered something new? Just because it's new to you, your company, your county, or in fact the world does not make it novel or genius.
Your just another patent troll. Don't waste our time.
It's a matter of QUALITY not quantity. The largest single segment of those 50K+ apps are games.
There is nothing that the Apple App reviewers do that the user/developer community could not do better. App rating / content rating / stability rating etc. could all be easily performed by the community and moderated by Apple App reviewers as a second tier function.
You shouldn't even be reading this post for another ten minutes or so, because I should be writing it on Mars. Instead, yay, let's pay a bunch of underemployed Russian rocket scientists to build another Skylab/Mir, and see what happens when we blow bubbles in LEO.
Coming as it does near the anniversary of the first Apollo landing, this is a really depressing story. Idiocracy, indeed.
NASA is the rathole for money.
There's nothing up there, in fact there's such an abundance of nothing there that there's a vacuum.
Working in computers, binary systems, it always amazes me how in three dimensional reality most thought processes are 2 dimensional. Evolution vs. Creation, Republican vs. Democrat, Communism vs. Capitalism, and the 2 dimensional idiots always pick 1.
In my profession working with binary systems, choosing just one or the other, in other words programming with just 1's or programming with just 0's is ludicrous. Both 1's AND 0's must be used to bee effective.
Relating that to the original article it seems that both the scientific and religious communities that have brainwashed the subjects of the poll fail in the same way. One offers science, the 1's, as absolute, while the religion offers the 0's as absolute and they are both wrong.
It took "scientists" 1,000 years to discover that the earth was not flat, it took religion equally as long to discover the error of their misguided faith. Is their failure not equal?
It took "scientists" almost 2,000 years to figure out what we are made of, it took religion equally as long to discover just how mysterious the ways are in which the creator works.
What is a few thousand years when you're working on a scale of infinity or eternity?
Creation isn't some conjurer of cheap tricks, like poof now we have a human. Religion would relegate their own God to some cheap magic show.
For all the empirical evidence about evolution scientists have yet to explain or recreate original life For all it's discoveries "science" still has more questions than answers
The earth is still flat my friends and both science and religion are to blame for their two-dimension myopia.
It's an informational site, does not need marketing or any significant SEO per se, just cross-links from other.gov sites would be more than enough. Should not require intense graphics or multimedia.
Typically a rough estimate is about 10 man-hours per database field for dynamic sites start to finish. At $100/man-hour using that metric it would indicate there are 18,000 fields in the database that drives the site - utterly ridiculous. More likely there are 180 db fields and taxpayers are paying $10,000/man hour.
Not die off faster, but die off natural, and with perhaps a little dignity. I wonder how much of the inflated health-care costs are the result of squeezing the last bit life out of a person with one foot already in the grave? Who does that benefit? The patient laying in the hospital bed, or the medical establishment charging more than the cost of a luxury suite at a resort for a bed pan and sheets?
Not trying to be crude, just realistic. Our planet is in fact the First International Space Station. As such both Malthus and Darwin would probably concur that medicine promotes the survival of the least fit to the detriment of the limited resources that were supplied to the First ISS.
While western media treats it's viewers to the greatest illusions that things are just peachy, reality is not as easily escaped as gravity.
So much for good Karma. Not opposed to it for moral OR ethical reasons, but there are too many people on the planet to begin with. The industry that is medicine seems to exist more for the purpose of serving itself than patients. Best medicine in the world that few can afford - remember McAllen http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8137085.stm
Over-simplified. While Free is certainly not a sustainable business model, I'm not sure I see the connection between the topic of the article and the companies that were used as examples. Google, MySpace, and Facebook are not free by any stretch. They offer free services on the consumer facing side of their value model, but on the business end they generate plenty of cash from charging for the eyeballs they bring to advertisers.
Twitter is the only company mentioned that has been reluctant to monetize their traffic. Not because they can't, but more so because of some philosophical reason they choose not to. Yet despite that there are third parties that are monetizing Twitter's traffic, as in:
Google has money.
"Investigation" is simply a euphemism for "let's see how much we can extort from them."
In this economic climate, to pull this kind of shit on a company that is not begging for taxpayer money, is utter bullshit.

Can't we just duct tape our windows???
Looks to me like the female segment of the population is not pulling their weight
Gravity combined with sudden negative acceleration resulting from the Earth being in the way.

Big tits will become immensely popular.... again

TFA says YouTube is phasing out IE6 NOT Microsoft. And why would you be looking at YouTube at work anyway?
Christ, what a rathole for money that thing is.

row_id , capital_account, account_name, date_paid, amount_paid, scum_sucking_leech_getting_my_tax_dollars, address
That's about all taxpayers really need. The other 17.9 million is pretty expensive lipstick for that pig.

The Patriots themselves levied their own heavy taxes emulating those against which they had originally rebelled
In the end it's all just 1's and 0's.
