I disagree, the first makes me want to cut out my eyeballs to not have to read that drivel, the second makes me realize the person sending it is a psychopath.
Both would end bad if you met up, but the latter is clear, concise and legible as compared to the former being written by a 5 year old or a mental patient who can barely communicate over shouting his own name as a reply.
The Coast Guard after a law change about 8 years ago are a branch of the military rather than a part of the department of treasury like they had historically been. On top of that if you ever go to a coastal area, the Coast Guard has a very high presence. We have 1 airbase here for the Air Force and 6 Coast Guard bases within 100 miles of where I live. Go out on the water, and you see Coast Guard ships all the time, so they aren't this small operation you seem to think they are, and they do have a lot of data I'm sure to go with all the attempts to keep the Cubans from landing or keep drug runner boats out (or that one guy who was running drugs in his own home built sub)
Believe me, as former Air force, I'm all for ripping on the Coast Guard, but to say they don't need a major data center is being intentionally obtuse.
Do you have any peer reviewed sources that have actually withstood real scientific scrutiny? NaturalNews is far from a credible source, and Journal of Vertebral subluxation research is obviously a biased source. As for the Dr, well this disclaimer kind of sums it up at the bottom of his page * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Vaccines are a necessary item to cause herd immunity to diseases. We stop using them and things like small pox and polio and that sort return. It's your kind that is killing people and creating super diseases and you should be put on trial as the accomplice to murder that you are.
There was another man people called great spouting nonsensical gibberish too. They made a religion from his books called Scientology. That doesn't mean he still wasn't a crackpot though (hint: they both were)
Chiropractic practitioners are glorified scam artists. Please do us all a favor and stop using posting your lies on every article, as there is no proof that anything you have claimed on here was even partially accurate. Chiropractors cannot help with cancer, this is a known fact. Chiropractors cannot fix chemical related illnesses, this is also a known fact.
Your entire field of study was created by a man with no medical knowledge who was attempting to make himself rich while pedaling voodooesque techniques, and anyone who buys into them has one critical problem above all else. They are damned retarded.
Chiropractor diagnosed illnesses are one thing above all else, a lie.
So how would adjusting my spine prevent colon cancer? Last I heard cancer was an uncontrollable growth of cells that the body couldn't kill off, not a misaligned spine.
I'm not saying getting your spine readjusted doesn't feel good, but don't think your fooling anyone claiming that it will actually fix anything either, because it flat out wont. Basically, a DC is a glorified masseuse, able to make you feel better but not able to actually fix anything and claiming you can is grounds for a huge lawsuit for fraud.
Cracker was the original term for what people mistakenly call a hacker. The problem is the less computer savvy people saw the word hacker (coined as someone who writes code, as compared to cracker, someone who cracks systems) and thought it sounded cool so they used it in the media. It's not our fault that your still using the wrong word.
It's on par with using intensive purposes instead of intents and purposes. Completely the wrong word, but fools keep saying it anyway.
Have you ever heard a woman say "no don't stop" because when its said and whats happening can be two totally different things. Granted they should use a little less ambiguous wording, but I've had people say that to me and not mean they wanted me to quit, but wanted me to not quit.
Do you know why it costs more locally? Just like chip makers have runs of "the good stuff" and the items that won't work at the original intended speed that they then mark as a lower speed and sell for less, drug makes have batches that meet local regulations and ones that don't. If a batch doesn't meet US federal regulations it is sent to some country where it DOES meet the regulations. This may be fine for you if, for example, your needs only require your pill be within 30% tolerance of the labeled amount. But if you required 95% tolerance - you would have to pay more for it. Some countries have higher purity / tolerance standards than the US. Buy brand name drugs from there: you'll find they are more expensive than in the US. It is all about how much it costs to make and which batches meet the requirements of which place.
Incorrect. The US has higher drug costs because we have trade agreements with most other countries that states we will foot the entire cost of research and development for any drug made by US companies, even if the research happens overseas. Thats why you can get some drugs in Canada for 5% of the total cost of the same drug in the US. It has nothing to do with the purity, and entirely due to those trade agreements.
If people really cared about the cost of medicine in the US that would be one of the first things we called to get repealed, but it shows how little the average citizen knows when you see statements like yours in place.
I'm sorry, but you've been consistently wrong the entire time in this thread. Level 3 is a Tier 1, they do not pay other ISP's for the connections. This is part of the conditions of being a Tier 1. Level 3 in fact sells connections to Verizon (who happens to pay them a monthly fee for their customers to access the internet) as does Time warner, AT&T, Sprint and nearly every single other US ISP except other Tier 1's (Comcast is NOT a tier 1 nor have they ever been)
The fact is Comcast pays Level 3 a monthly fee for their interconnects, and rents over 70% of their fiber from Level 3 (who owns the majority of the fiber in the US, thanks to the DOD)
Now Comcast is trying to cut their bill, by pulling a media circus on the netflix deal, when it's traffic that is destined to end on Comcast's network. Traffic that's being sent to the last mile ISP is never to be considered as a "peer" agreement, as it's purchased bandwith. This is where Comcast is in the wrong, and has been the entire time. People defending Comcast in this case proves how little they know about how the internet truly works, and it's my hope that Level 3 tells Comcast to fuck off and depeers them as Comcast is in violation of the peering agreement by trying to shift last ISP traffic to it and then collect for traffic they have already charged their customers for. This is known as double dipping, and Comcast is guilty of trying to do it in this case, just as they have been in the past.
Consumption based billing only works on finite resources. Bandwidth is not finite, increasing available at the ISP side is something the customers have already paid for with their monthly fees, but companies like Comcast are refusing to implement because it digs into the billions per year of profits.
We are talking about a company that can easily setup multi TB/sec connections across the country but refuses to because it would cause a.5% drop in that quarters earnings.
No, in cases like true infinite resources such as bandwidth the only solution is to maintain and build up the links whenever the current link gets saturated. Like the agreement the company has with its customers implies it will do. Failing to do that is failing its customers, failing as a company and selling a massive profit increase in a few years for a small gain now. It's not good business sense, and it's not good customer relations.
That was only true for about a month in 2007. Its currently 1 US dollar = 1.0135 Canadian dollars so not much different, but when your talking about $1,000,000,000 that extra.0135 adds up.
It runs just as well on a windows machine at that. Infact, in our company our Art department runs windows. Only 3 macs in the building, all 3 used by the same person in marketing. He only got them because he cried enough to his boss to get him to buy them, but then he couldn't work on a pc, as he doesn't know how to use one, and none of his keyboard shortcuts work like he expects.
Our PC based art department does just as good of work as he does on his mac, and his mac has issues printing to our ultra high rez photo printers, and distorts the colors badly. None of our windows based machines do this, nor do the few linux machines I have.
Anyone can bring a suit to invalidate a law as unconstitutional, so that is a failure of the people of this country if they chose not to object to being subjected to this law.
Also, its funny you bring up the patriot act. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_PATRIOT_Act As only ONE Congressional member voted against it. ONE. 488 members of congress in the house and senate and only ONE man ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Feingold ) expresses his duty to vote against something he disagrees with. One man expressed concerns that it was wrong, but voted for it ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Leahy ), the rest either abstained or voted for it. It won by a landslide, with overwhelming support from both sides.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Sensenbrenner was the one who introduced it. Not the Bush administration, but a congressman. The president CANNOT introduce bills, he can have his staff write them all he wants, doesn't make anyone introduce them. Guess what? You can write them too. Again, noone has to introduce them.
One person has a 10^-9 chance to make a difference on the presidential election One man has a 10^-6 chance in congress.
So who do we blame? The man we have the least chance of actually having made a difference on picking, and the man last in line to sign his name to something all the shit that 488 other people saw and said "sounds good to me" went and handed him.
Then we have 12 others that say "Meh, lets not bother even taking a review of it" in SCOTUS. 501 people failed if the government failed. Not 1 man last in line to approve. 501. Blame the proper people.
The President is not FEMA. On top of that, the President attempted to send them in when shit was about to hit the fan, did you know the Louisiana gov. told him to piss off? Because if you were watching the news you didn't, as that would actually place the blame where it belonged, rather than on our countries professional red herring, rather than this "OMG BUSH CREATED KATRINA! ITS HIS FAULT NOONE LEFT" Mississippi listened to the suggestions of the presidency a WEEK before and evacuated.
Lousiana didn't. This is not FEMA's fault. New Orleans Mayor was saying NOT to leave, that they would be fine. He failed his city.
Also, the DEA is a government agency, why are there still drugs in the country?
The FCC is a federal agency, why is there porn on tv?
Again, please focus on the correct source of the problem

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
The Coast Guard after a law change about 8 years ago are a branch of the military rather than a part of the department of treasury like they had historically been. On top of that if you ever go to a coastal area, the Coast Guard has a very high presence. We have 1 airbase here for the Air Force and 6 Coast Guard bases within 100 miles of where I live.

If I link to your website does that make it mine? That is effectively what California is claiming of Amazon.

People like this should hold a perm -1 troll.
Thats all they do, if they don't agree its "neo-con winning the day" even if it has nothing to do with partisan lines.

I lol'ed
Sorry, math was missing a part of it
3.29137229 x 10^-9 and 1.60618968 x 10^-6 respectivly.
I'm out for the day though, so I will not be continuing to debate untill possibly tomorrow.
