The difference is that the states don't extend their free health care to everyone, just people who wouldn't be able to pay anyway and therefore aren't in the pool of potential customers.
You'd hope that autonomous vehicles would lower insurance claims (and therefore premuiums) by much more than enough to compensate.
The problem is that the winners (insurance companies and premium payers) and losers (car companies) are not the same.
You'd have to devise a financial system that evens out the costs and savings. For example, the car makers could greatly increase the price of their vehicles to compensate for wrongful death cases and yet people would still buy them because their insurance premiums go down by more than enough to compensate.
a $135 share price has no relation to sustainability, it's the initial market cap that is sustainable or not. they've just decided to float fewer shares than would be normal.
i guess it has an effect on very small investors - they can't invest exactly what they would like to.
I think that the problem is the peak load - unfortunately the rss readers all download at the same time (they should be more uniformly distributed within the minimum update period). This means that you have to design your system to cope with the peak load, but then all that capacity is sitting idle the rest of the time.
The electricity production system has the same problem
i've got great news for you! you don't have to wonder - you can take your own money and invest in those alternative energy companies. if you're right you can make a bundle. hurrah!
Microsoft's genius lies not in their code quality, but in their marketing department.
Actually, even this isn't true! the vast majority of software products that microsoft makes lose money or make a small profit. they are sustained by profits of their OS and office suite.
good marketing to me implies that they know their market well enough to produce products that will sell for a good profit.
I always delete my credit card information just after I've given it to _any_ merchant online.
There's a possiblity the merchant could get hacked. Plus you have to remember a different strong password for every merchant. why bother? for the small extra convenience of not typing in your credit card number?
I don't understand this "45 cents to collect a dollar of revenue" thing. If that were true then the IRS budget would be approximately 1/3 of the federal budget. Clearly this isn't true.
Lossless is lossless is lossless. That's why they call it lossless, there's no loss. it's an equivalence relation, it's transitive. am i getting through to you here?:)

I've solved this problem in the past by having tooltips show up when you hover over the disabled menu item with information on why it's disabled.

But we're talking about science, not political opinions, economics or morality.
You're correct in all that you say, as was I. The difference is that from my perspective those differences that you talk about don't look very "stark"
foreign policy - bush invaded afghanistan and iraq, kerry supported invading and iraq
taxation - both keep most of the current tax code - kerry to raise taxes slightly on the richest
gay marriage - both against it
abortion - yep, i guess they're different here, although i had difficulty deciphering kerry response in the debate
patriot act - bush proposed it, kerry voted for it
IP law - no difference
1 watt of electricity into 4 watts of heat...hmmm, seems like that might violate some kind of law. i could be wrong...
they aren't using the actual water, they're just using it as a heat sink. it's like half of a heat pump.
it's just a demonstration of the principle - a real spoofer could make it better.

they were allowed to choose before? i thought that they were ruled by a british governer
the problem is that techniques do not go if they are enshrined in law by the government. old laws don't get cleaned up

In fact, C# can make handling of those other resources less reliable and more complex as compared with C++ for example. I miss smart pointers!
you've picked a bad example there, mate. it's standard on unix to have to be root to install a driver as well.
windows xp has the runas command and fast user switching now to help with this problem.
you don't pay a cent in money to listen to FM radio, but you do pay in terms of your time to listen to adverts

Can anyone resolve this for me?
i only just found out - it's not publicised in the media, I guess. note that if you go and look on the fcc website, it's not mentioned.
I stand corrected, looks like there are some choices involved in going from RAW to PNG for instance.

go on tour...
- a "dubious 4 month hole in your resume" isn't going to ruin your IT career.
- you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't take the risk on what you really want.
- worst that's likely to happen is that you're on unemployment for a year.
You're right - I have T-mobile GPRS too and I finally went to broadbandreports.com to find out my actual speed.
Turns out it was 3kbps with 6 seconds latency!!! Plus it often (maybe 1/3 of the time) doesn't connect at all.
