Getting a driver license suspended is usually an extreme measure based on DUI, too many points for dangerous maneuvers etc. That is, it is normally a result of risking other people's lives needlessly. (I'm sure someone can provide anecdotes to the contrary, but this is usually the case from what I have seen) A life and death situation is a far cry from any over-inflated 'financial damage' claim. Not that I think there is not some room for punitive damages here, but it holds no comparison to a life/death scenario.
This is exactly what I used to do when I had dial-up. Load a nice long news article (mostly text), then go and get a bunch more pages loading (this was with Opera). I was always suprised to see other people load pages 1 at a time and then wait. Previewing your email on a web page (for those people that like to send 5MB attachments) is also a handy tip.
No disagreement on my end, but the.NET framework complains pretty loudly if you attempt to use a method marked as 'deprecated'. A quick search will usually give you a solution that works well with the newer framework. It at least seems that MS is putting forth some effort to stop programmers from using the old stuff and move on to better ways / methods. Their next version of windows needs to put all old code into a virtual machine and move forward with a cleaner API, which seems like what they are working towards.
It would only be strange if his lawyer DIDN'T ask the jury. I would imagine that failure to do that would come up in an appeals case under the clause of 'incompetent defense attorney'. Btw, I think he did it, but not for that reason.
Sorry for replying to a top post but, A CEO can say anything they wish to, Until they have the ability to actually make their statements LAW, they can spout off all they wish to. (Yes, I know about corruption and all that) One regulation being passed makes this statement completely 'nothing to see here'. Corruption is another discussion IMHO. This looks like nothing more than a big flame-bait discussion.
Most routers do not run windows. They would have to break the internet to stop any TCP/IP compliant device to stop working. I use Kubuntu from time to time and it works fine. They don't officially support it since it is a small market share of tech-savvy people, so that is somewhat understandable. That said I helped my neighbor lady out yesterday and Comcast support had done more to wreck her connection than help (1/2 hour on the phone for her). I had her back up in running in about 5 minutes of fixing all their mistakes. Count yourself lucky that they do not "support" you.
What kind of GPS units were these? We ship out $50.00 units and I can calculate direction of movement by simply walking down the hall with an enabled laptop (I compare present & last position and calculate based on that). Ours can project your location down on a shape file to usually within a few feet.
My Comcast modem (new 6 months ago) does the single MAC thing. My router and the modem refuse to communicate with one another so I had to plug directly into my computer NIC to be allowed to get an IP address from the modem, then enter the MAC address + IP information into my router. Thankfully, the dynamic IP address hasn't changed. Comcast tech-support was not very "supportive".
"tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars going to law school"
One would think that spending that amount of money to learn and understand the law and be an officer of the court would mean they are held to a higher standard. Maybe not disbarment for 1 minor infraction, as human beings make mistakes, but this looks like a fairly egregious violation of ethics. As you said, this should not have been suspended.
I work with a *big* supporter of the Libertarian party. I raise a similar point with him (multiple water, electric) with him fairly often. It makes him squirm and get uncomfortable. The simple point is that not all co-operatives are bad, especially when dealing with basic infrastructure.
I was in Fred Meyers grocery store last weekend when over the intercom came an announcement for a 'Lost Child Alert'. This was for a 2 year old girl and they described the clothing she was wearing. In a normal society I would have looked around in concern for the child's well-being. In all honesty, I looked around out of fear that she might have been anywhere near me for no other reason than self preservation. Sad that it has come to that. (2 minutes later there was a 'Cancel Lost Child' announcement).
In defense of plague (yes I know he got modded troll), but in all honesty, you changed the subject. The original response was that only 1 version limits database size. S/he was correct, your response does not have anything to do with the GP post or the response.
Agreed that is not simple. I gave a bad example. How about bedding (i.e.: sheets) If I purchase a nice cotton set of sheets with 800 thread count for x$ and 5 years later I only get a scratchy polyester set for the same x$, it is not really an exact replacement, but it is still "a set of sheets", which seems to be what the CPI 'basket' is doing. (I realize 'the basket of goods' might not include this, but in a first world economy it should). My comment is that it gives way too much wiggle room for manipulation of the statistics. This isn't really a disagreement between us, just that it gives too much room for manipulation, hence my reply. (sorry I could not come up with the typical/. car analogy)
Also, many economists believe that the CPI in fact overstates inflation. Why? People will substitute from goods which became relatively more expensive to those which haven't. Does this mean if I replace my nice Porterhouse Steak with a Sirloin Steak "It's just as good"? I would be tempted to call that inflation by any name.
Agreed. I've spent my career working for smaller companies, mostly privately owned. It is far more rewarding. I have found that smaller places allow you to learn new things and develop skills and grow as an individual. Some of the responses I read here on/. seem like people being treated like numbers and mere property. Not sure I could stand that. Smaller companies can be very good to work for, even if they are not all about prestige.
Fall through in a case statement in C# works like this:
switch (test)
{
case "1"://do something
break;
}
case "2":
case "3":
{//both will do something else here
break;
}
}
This should compile. Hope I understood your question.
Germany had it's social structure pretty much destroyed in WWII. That gave the opportunity to re-create everything from scratch. Everything from 220V electrical as well as new ID systems and more. SS in the USA is old enough to be pre-computer times so check sums didn't make sense. I'm not saying it should not be reviewed, just that it's not quite accurate to compare the two things on equal footing.
Bold print does not make all of your points valid. Please explain how a savings account that pays less than inflation (this same money is put back into the system as a loan) is somehow "taking money out of the system"? I was under the impression that that was one form of encouraging people to "put their money to work" and greasing the economy. The same idea also goes for investing in the stock market. I might be missing something, but spending value without producing value is the one best way to end up with true debt and being poorer (IMHO by definition).

Insightful?? Bankruptcy usually does not allow you to get out of court judgements.

Just to clarify, beer and wine can be purchased on Sundays, just not hard liquor (Rum, Vodka, and such).

Religion is not a 'race' it is a creed. Big difference. As far as I read this it is about religion (creed), not race.
