    what you, and others on Slashdot don't seem to have any grasp on is that this is an indicator. Left unattended and it will be tens of thousands of people. Why can't you people grasp the idea of cutting it short?

    Also coming to the US is Dengay fever.
    Another thing we should stop short.

    Ah, you're a loon.

    There broke because conservatives change taxes without changing services. It's their overall approach is to divorce the idea of taxes from services, cut taxes and then watch everything fail.

    It's nice to know you live up to the Texas reputation of inbred morons.

    in your scenario you get a balance with mosquitoes that still carry the disease. So, it's not really any good.

    Do you people really have nothing to go with? All you do is make up lies and ridiculous accusations.

    I like the debate, but the last two election is't been like the democrats are playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon says nonsense, craps on the board, then goes and tells it's flock it won.

    And when you point out provable false hoods, and incorrect statements they say "You say that becasue you are a liberal/.. I'm not talking opinion on social matters, I'm talking the actual provable facts. It's mind numbing.

    What about the advertising sales the are based on the number of people listed? How did you handle that? How did you contact the publishers?
    Wait, you're tiny piece as a two bit 'DBA' took a few seconds? then clearly that's all that's involved in the business.

    Look past your little keyhole.
    As I said, regardless it should be a cost of doing business and not a reoccurring fee. I'm just pointing out there is more to the business then throwing a flag.
    I contract with a couple of Carriers write code to manage this specific thing. Granted, it was 10 years ago. I has a 200 page binder explaining all the business rules and use cases behind this.

    Some of us actually deal with a large scope of business, not sit in a cube thinking the whole of the business is my little, tiny, insignificant job.

    The advantage of a plane doing that speed is that it can drop it's bombs and be out of the territory before they hit the target. With stealth, you now have a pretty intimidating way to attack.
