it seems to me that this jump represented almost identical risks without the reward of breaking the record or the sound barrier. Why not just go the extra 13,000 feet and have the record for all your trouble and risk?
Before you run too far with this, most kids will need more than $25 to get started. A monitor, keyboard etc. or a separate PC to ssh from. It all adds up.
But if you are a member of a religious group and you like the idea that your priest/imam/rabbi/sith-lord will be shielding you from reality then why should you not be able to outsource your filtering ? I filter the internet from my children (by watching over them as they use it) according to my social mores, and if I were to choose to use a filtering program I'd like to know broadly what criteria were chosen for what gets through and what does not. If someone wants to make a little money by applying the terms kosher or halal to web content, and it's done by a practitioner you trust then people should have that option just as the unfiltered option should exist.
Maybe it is, but I had heard that the Romans were able to grow grapes on their northern border in the north of England (around Hadrian's wall). It's not an area noted for its vineyards today.
However "Netflix, which uses an architecture designed to route around problems at a single availability zone." seems to have efficiently spread the pain of a North Eastern outage to the rest of the country. Sometimes I think redundancy in solutions is better left turned off.
I think it meets the definition of criminal negligence. Someone has blown $60MM on worthless voting machines. I think that even someone who isn't a professional in the field of election automation could have spotted these flaws very quickly (if not immediately looking at the specs on paper never mind with an alpha trial).
Actually I've never understood that bit. If you take young and relatively healthy people as a group, surely the market will provide insurance targeted at them at a lower cost because of the lower actuarial risks. There will always be individual winners and losers, but I don't see how offering policies matched to the risks of any reasonable group of people affects any other group of people. For example, surely non-smokers under 30 will still pay less than smokers over 50, there's no cross subsidization that I can see because as soon as it arises, a company would surely start up to specialize in insuring whichever group were "overly profitable"
We'll soon get figures for how many people pay the tax penalty, but it will be harder to get figures for how many of them dropped insurance because they no longer needed to worry about potential coverage problems for pre-existing conditions. What makes you think that would be a large number of people ? I would have thought that the biggest reason for paying the tax penalty will be general lack of organizational ability to actually arrange for insurance.
In my kid's 1st grade class there is a child that occasionally has to be removed from the room because he would harm himself and the other children, he will throw things, climb on the desks etc. If any teacher gave him a knife or a saw on a field trip to the forest and it wound up hurting my daughter I don't think I'd consider it to be randomly accidental.
Really, does Switzerland not have children like that in classrooms ? If not, it can only be because they have been filtered out in some discriminatory way, I want my child kept safe and the other child to get an education and to socialize to the point where everyone can safely join in "forest games", that it not going to happen by simply handing our swiss army knives and letting them have at it.
So how does that work, does the elderly victim-to-be shoot the kids before they reach her or does she wait until they are beating her with the bats before she draws ? What if they don't have bats, even unarmed kids could easily take out granny ? I'm not sure it works, either granny needs to shoot first and ask questions later or the youths are on her before she could open her purse and find the gun. Neither outcome is acceptable.
surely they could restrict what is sold under that trade name to just services that send traffic on a FIFO basis. service providers could sell what they liked, but just not call it internet.
Every last one of the teachers at my kids' elementary school has qualifications out of the wazoo and you're telling me that they can't create a 5th grade math curriculum, even when permitted to share ideas with other teachers and collect together information from some of the many rich sources on the web ?
My 9th grade math teacher, whom I loathed, created all of his own worksheets hand-written and reproduced on a ditto machine and worked through the problems with the students, it was a highly effective approach.
If I were a teacher I might struggle with many things, the kids would probably run wild in the classrooms, but lack of suitable reading/'riting/'rithmetic examples and study material would not be the problem.
It seems to me that the first thing the most oppressive governments do is to round up every able bodied man they can find and put a gun in their hands.
let's say there are 1000 guests and 50 songs are played. This clearly means that 50,000 record labels will never be able to make money again. The fees should be at least 47 trillion loonies per event.
Where "home" == China for the time being. Get a job with a Canadian company, paid in Loonies into a Canadian bank account that you can access from China. Just research the tax obligations, but with a good internet connection, an understanding boss and your skillset you can probably be pretty productive.
then facebook came along. Where will the crowd head next ? I think that's the problem with facebook; no reason for people not to move on when something shinier and less profligate with privacy comes along in a few years.
1) The Affordable healthcare act has made this a more reasonable proposition by eliminating caps on annual benefits (a catastrophe could easily cost millions)
2) The Affordable healthcare act would make it possible to switch to a better plan if the nature of the "catastrophe" were a chronic drug regimin
So to my mind Obamacare has improved this approach, not ruled it out. Besides, healthcare the way it is costs taxpayers billions each year, there has to be a better way than what we have now. The uninsured today don't lack insurance because it is unavailable
I can't imagine how catastrophic coverage would have been at all workable under the old system as my idea of a catastrophe includes long-term health issues
Anyway, restricting your expenditure to doctors bills hardly covers all health expenditure.

They always go down well

When will there be a prosecution in this case ?
How is this in any way trolling ?

I suspect Romney is relieved, now he can rant about it without actually having to do anything about it.

I don't think churches pay taxes, though they do consume city and state services, hence my tax bill goes up to cover their non payment.
When you say it's on me (not what I earn or what I own etc.) do you mean they will be actually taking body parts in payment ?
or systems you want to rigorously test.

it's a scam by the CIA, trying to tempt terrorists to fill in their name and whereabouts thinking they'll be safer.
also beware of the "do not steal my identity list", send name, address, SSN, mother's maiden name, bank details to apply

By any chance are the Canadians actually using US currency, just issuing their bills in weird denominations ?
