We don't plan to become a database administrator ourselves, but do want to work with the FCC to make sure that a white spaces database gets up and running. We hope that this will unfold in a matter of months, not years.

Google proposes the operation of a WSDB for at least 5 years, promising to “transfer to a successor entity the Database, the IP addresses and URLs used to access the Database, and the list of registered Fixed WSDs” in case they cannot live up to it. Google proposal does not limit the possibility of existing other such databases.
They're not proposing to do it on their own and willing to hand over everything if they fuck it up.
I'm sure you like to think you're superman but no one can sit there and produce a consistent high quality code week after week for 8 hours without breaks but even if you could you should still get up and walk around every 30 minutes or so because sitting for long periods restricts the blood flow to your legs. Aside from making them look like nasty, it's not healthy.
This is not saying the need to work for 30 minutes, have a break for 30 minutes, etc. But people should be getting up frequently. It's the healthiest option mentally and physically.
I've missed deadlines too but it's because the project management didn't listen to the time lines we actually gave and instead just made up a number. That is hardly a reflection upon my ability and I'm certainly not going to give up my weekends and evenings while the project management looks at Facebook just so I can make it look like he can do his job.
As far as bad code goes I'm not sure making people work longer will produce better code. A poor programmer working 8 hours instead of 4 hours just produces (in theory) twice as much shit code.
Everyone is enthusiastic right out of school and they want to work at full throttle. Then you'll reach a point where you realise the company isn't going to shower you with praise, money and promotions and possibly will keep you stuck in your position since you're doing that job better than anyone else.
That is when your soul is destroyed and you end up like the other guys. It's not necessarily a bad thing as there is more to life than work. It is though, naive people like yourself, that causes ageism in IT. Younger people need to realise sooner that they're being taken advantage of and not accept it.
It will destroy some people's world when they find out their made-up guy doesn't exist. That's what people really think will happen is this will turn people away from god and they think this because deep down there is something nagging them telling them they're wrong.
If I may defend EA on one point, they do actually make it very clear they will shut down the service anytime they feel like it. In fact I think it's on the back of the game boxes as well. This isn't a surprise. They did this with their PC versions for some time.
This why people shouldn't buy their games. There is no need for EA to be the middle man in online gaming but they do it purely to have control. They don't need you playing Madden 08 year after year. They need you to buy every version. Quite frankly I'm surprised they don't shut the servers down for the previous version the day the new version is released. It probably will get to that point.
Or they work together to create one that works with all three or a new one that meets each company's needs and is an improvement on the 3 previous ones.
Saying everyone has to use the same technology doesn't say which technology they have to use and quite frankly the state of mobile phones is much better in areas that enforce standards.
What a load of shit. Americans are getting shafted on mobile phones. Your plans are expensive, you pay to receive calls most if not all instances and your phones don't work with ever provider.
Just image if your TV and land line phone was like that or that houses had different electrical sockets depending on who built it.
Standards are not socialism, it's common fucking sense because as clearly proven by the mobile phone market in the US that a free market with no standards has left the US in an awful state.
You're not any more free in the US because you're letting mobile companies shaft you.
It's because they still do things the old way. Rather than have one uniform way of doing things on the net where anyone can buy from anywhere or rent from anywhere they still want to make money buy getting people to buy the right to do something from them. I assume someone hasn't paid for the right to rent on the live marketplace. Once there's no money to be made from holding people ransom, they'll let them have the right to rent it on live.
Oh really? I'd love to see some backup for that claim. The Wii's shitty, underengineered DVD-rom drive has a pretty high failure rate (seen 4 of 10 blow out so far, counting friends/family who purchased the thing). Nintendo will charge you ~$100 (after shipping) to get it repaired, or you can go buy a new one (and then go through the hassle of trying to transfer your account and downloads).
Citation please. You personal experience doesn't count when 4 out of 10 is an insignificant percentage of over all systems. Since I don't recall anyone else ever talking about it, my guess is you're unlucky or full of shit.
Keep in mind MS also kicked a load of modded 360's off live and if they want live they have to buy new hardware. They are able to mod the hardware as you suggest but it's not problem free.
Shouldn't the fine for everything be exceptionally high?
Seriously if downloading one song can have you paying out, for example, $10,000 then surely speeding which can result in death should have a fine of $100,000 at the very least.
If the government won't do that because it's ridiculous then I want to know why it's not ridiculous that I can be paying that much for downloading a few songs which are, at best, worth $0.99 each.
You just haven't had it stimulated before. This is sadly an indicator of the poor work done by their sexual partners, and doesn't prove if it's there or not.
The idea that it's always the guy's problem is a load of shit. The idea that after, for instance 10 partners, if a woman hasn't had an orgasm that it's the guy's fault is BS. The only common factor in those 10 experiences is the woman so odds are its her fault especially when the G-spot and whole "come hither" information isn't exactly new info.
I know women who can't find their own. So if they can't do it then they certainly can't expect a guy to just know how to get her off. Likewise some women suck at giving hand/blow jobs.
People aren't just automatically born with the information to satisfy the opposite sex. People need to learn to talk about sex and find out what gets each other off. Having an orgasm is more more about your mental state than some bit of flesh. Which also gets to the other point. Women are more emotional and about to have hang-ups about their body which will stop them from fully enjoying sex. You'll get further sexually and in general just by making a woman feel good about her body.
That's why it's good to ask about their experiences on with sex and masturbation and if you find some 30+ year old woman who hasn't been able to get herself off then it's pretty safe to say you should avoid having sex with her because she probably has issues.
There is a difference between knowing about an organ that you never see or can feel and one that should cause you great pleasure during sex.
The fact they're doing studies like this implies that it's not straight forward and can't be determined through cadaver research.
To be honest, it probably does exist but a lot of women have too much emotional baggage about their body. If a guy were to think of something that he thinks is totally unattractive or disgusting then he won't enjoy sex as much if at all. So when there are quite a few women worried if the guy is looking at fat on her body or something equally silly, it's quite obvious why so many women don't enjoy sex. They need to just not care, like men.
The problem is that women obsess over their looks, weight and relationship before during and after sex. Of course they're not going to enjoy as much if at all while worrying if the guy is looking at their fat or what the effects of the bit of chocolate they ate over lunch will be.
This does not apply to all women but it certainly applies to heck of a lot more women than men. Women tend to be more emotional and will let things get to them more where as guys are more likely not to care and therefore enjoy sex more often.
It is because of this little theory that I'm sure the person who enjoys sex the most is the least emotional person and therefore Spock probably enjoys sex more than any person should legally be allowed to.
Let's face it, the point of any redesign is more about knowing exactly who you are and what you're doing at all times. Don't be surprised if it some how involves some sort of identification to even connect.
I'm not sure about the antibiotics thing. I found it very easy to get antibiotics in the UK. Mind you I had a chest infection twice so it's not like I was asking for them for a scrape on my knee or something silly.
The UK's hospitals suffer from the class system. Some hospitals are real shit tips and some are very nice. It's not necessarily the bad areas that have bad hospitals. As I recall Addenbrookes hospital in Cambridge was one of the dirtiest a few years ago. Despite being a fairly rich area I think it's the fact it had a lot of people in general going through it, but the area does have a fair amount of poor people and homeless and the last time I went in there (as a visitor) the support staff was shit.
I suspect there was too much corner cutting on support staff to keep budgets down which you can't really do in a busy hospital, imo.

Smash Bros is just as much a real fighter as any other and likewise is has button mashers as you'll find for Street Fighter, Tekken, etc.

Neither LA or Stuttgart is in Japan. That's the big difference.
Japan is a high populated island. Even the UK has more expensive housing than the continent. I think you'll find that's always the case on an island.
What it supports covers most of the world. Perhaps AT&T is the that should be changing to conform to standards.

He has his own db, MariaDB and if it's any good then he shouldn't care since its whole purpose is that it's a replacement to MySQL.
