More importantly, lets have a study regarding the effects of the united states having troops in nearly every country on earth, being involved in at least 3 wars simultaneously, and the US military glamorizing their profession through television and news adds. If you want to stop gun violence, stop putting rifles into the hands of teenagers and sending them into 3rd world countries to "keep the peace" I don't think playing Halo or hunting squirls with their dads are having anywhere near the effect of what the US governments planting into their heads about guns and "justified violence"
People have always admired the wrong people. They admire what they desire... do most people secretly dream about winning the lottery or saving babies from fires?
it's called "tenure" The same professors have been giving the same tests for so long, that the answers are still available on old tripod sites. They fear the internet, not because it would allow their students to cheat... their students cheat all the time... they fear the internet because it makes it obvious that every bit of knowledge required to pass their class can be contained on a single webpage.
Any class that's teaching you a skill that you're expected to use in the real world, should allow you to use all of the tools that will be available to you in the real world on the test. Doing away with the same test transcript they've been using for 40 years might make them miss their evening scotch once a quarter but it's a small price to pay don't you think?
We recently hired a guy in his late 50s. Been a programmer all his life. Boy, I bet he was great at all those languages we used to use in the 90s. He can't do a damn thing with anything we use today. He worked in SQL Server for a while but MYSQL is a mystery to him. And he can't be bothered to read a book on the syntax to catch up. See, he's got this photography business on the side. It was always his dream... he's basically halfway into retirement. All I here from him all day is how he's getting screwed because no one appreciates his "Experience" anymore. He doesn't have any "experience" in anything we do. He's like a wagon wheel maker that's pissed he's not working on the new ford mustang line. He clearly knows more about wheels than anyone else right?
I would imagine that the police are concerned about such things as suspects having access to relay/transmit information that would jeopardize their case or witness safety. It does present a significant technological challenge for the police department. I do support the courts decision however.
Because we're ALL left or right? What a bunch of horseshit. It's this sort of black and white thinking, and now "science" that keeps us from making any progress. If there's one thing the last 100 years have taught us about politics, it's that both the left and the right are completely full of shit. Organized stupidity is not the way to get things done.
Wikileaks didn't do anything that every major newpaper in the country has done at some point or another. Newspapers are dying and the Feds have everyone convinced that "The internet" is not legitimate media despite the fact it's replacing newsprint. Good luck hearing any bad news 20 years from now.
Twice as much? I usually find it somewhere in the 10x the price range for local honey. It DOES taste better and all... but 10x as much? I don't think so.
Except, a corporations sole source of wealth is not its stockholders. Your example falls flat. The ONLY way the federal government can get money is from its citizens. Therefore, the federal governments dept, IS its citizens dept. They are the ones that will have to pay that debt off, where-as shareholders in a corporation have nothing to do with it's dept or profits. Though they may have an affect on their stock price. A corporation can use borrowed money to generate more money. If their profits exceed the interest rate they are paying, then the loan was a good idea. When the government borrows money, its to cover expenses that they couldn't pay for with tax revenues. There's no way to turn that borrowed money into more money. It's bad in every way possible.
I would. Dropping 10% of the entire US consumption would have a significant world impact on Pollution. Unfortunately it would also drive the price of oil down which would increase consumption in the 3rd world.
I know at least 3 different hippie/steampunk-esque people that have never as much as put a new handle on a kitchen drawer, but yet have a $2000 bag of parts sitting on their kitchen tables that, supposedly, once complete, will be a 3D printer. Granted, those bags have been sitting there for months, even years in one case, but they are determined it will get put together and eventually help them build their straw bail houses. Every single one of them is convinced that the past 10,000 years worth of engineering mankind has been involved in was misguided, wrong and wasteful. They, with their Nikola Tesla biographies in hand, will revolutionize the world with their geodesic domes and modern day dirigibles. They also hunt ghosts on the weekends. Interesting times.
YOU weren't paying attention... fat wad of cash in the freezer... They get their money... People with power always do. There is no solution to this problem. The best you can do is put in term limits so the crooks have less time to get good at corruption and the people bribing them have less time to figure out who's the best person to bribe.
Do you see logs? I don't see logs. I see some shady graphs, and a CEO that has a reputation for attacking the press. I don't trust either side, but I don't see "proof" from either of them.
About the only source I'd trust in this fight is Consumer Reports, and despite his claims that they had no problems... Consumer reports has in fact, NOT TESTED IT YET. They just got theirs in January after a 2 year wait. You can be sure Tesla went over theirs with a fine tooth comb. So lets wait and see how it does in their tests. I've been a subscriber of theirs for over a decade and have full trust in their reviews. They've never failed me.
This has been going on for years with "Boutique" guitar amps... meaning, guitar amps that are hand-made, usually by 1 guy that only produces 100 or so a year. They are usually very expensive and coveted because the designer usually has tricks in the way he designs them that make them sound unique. Unfortunately for the people that build these, guitar tube amps are not very complicated. Reverse engineering them is usually very easy. So what they've resorted to is building their circuit, putting it into a box, and then filling the box with epoxy. Clearly they have to leaves the Tubes and transformers out so they can shed heat, but the rest of it gets embedded and the only way to take it apart is to destroy it.
The caveat here is that these guys provide life-time support on what they produce. You need it fixed, THEY fix it. There's no need for right to repair. A nearly unlimited warranty makes this a non-issue. I don't see MS giving you any such warranty.
No they don't. They open their freezer to get some ice for their scotch, see a fat wad of cash wrapped in a zip-lock bag, smile to themselves, and then make a note to call the RIAA in the morning to confirm their support for the upcoming legislation. Your government is completely bought and paid for... by Corporations, Trade groups, Unions, special interest groups... etc... they only way to change this is to get the hackers together, hire their own lobbyist and start paying off the government just like everyone else. And no, I'm not kidding.
Or just use the pirated version of office 2013 that will come out 3 months before the official release, have no such limitations, will be much more configurable, and, of course, is free...
Actually, yes it is. The fact that you're calling their beliefs stupid is what makes you a bigot. You hate them for what they believe, that's the very definition of bigotry. Do you think the current Pope is stupid (although he resigned) He ran an organization who's size, complexity and legacy dwarfs anything you could possibly imagine. You may disagree with their policies, not share their views, or believe in the same reality he does, but to simply dismiss the man as an idiot? You're a bigot, you hate someone for their religion. Argue with them on substance, make them agree based on their own values. Learn about their religion and support your own views with scripture. That is... if you want to convince them. But you don't, you just want a target for your anger.
Except, this law will never get passed. Or even have a hearing. It was introduced by someone that's only been in offices 2 years and a few months. It's a political stunt. His district is Tiny, I couldn't find stats on it but I bet there's no more than a few thousand people in it from the looks of the map. They probably all go to church, and they HATE people like you just as much as you hate people like them. (you're both bigots by the way) This will be all over the internet in a matter of no time and all your elitist rage will fuel their righteous anger... and they'll turn out in droves to support their poor, beleaguered representative in his humble attempts to remain a Godly man in a Godless world.
It's a bill not a law. Hearings not scheduled, not on the house calendar. You've been had ARS... this is a publicity stunt by 2 conservative politicians to garner attention for their next election by introducing a bill popular with their tiny constituencies, guaranteed never to even get voted on, but sure to bring in gullible leftist reporters who are all too eager to snap up any tidbit of info that might portray their political opponents in a negative light. And you guys are flooding ARS with traffic because you're also so eager to believe it.

As if there were nothing in the world actually worth reporting on, they've got to spoon feed you this horseshit. How many people die in Africa from AIDs per day? Oh wait, you can't blame that on republicans so it's uninteresting. Fuck you.
This is at least the second time Tesla got a poor review from the media and then went on the attack. Remember Top Gear? These guys are making a shitty product, and seem to attack every news outlet willing to let the public know.
No, Microsoft office is the single best product Microsoft offers. But it's geared twoards an office that doesn't have IT/IS staff. By the time your companies big enough to employ programmers, Office is a liability not an asset.
Advertisers are morons. I work with them all day and they just don't have a clue how the real world works. What will happen is they'll have an awesome first month... then, slowly, the company will come to realize the majority of those purchases were either mistakes, scams or outright theft.
