To be fair, saying that 97% of the people who receive the vaccine will survive does not necessarily imply that the vaccine caused death in the remaining 3%. It could simply be that it was uneffective.
Exactly, there's a world of difference between spanking the child's ass and clubbing them to within an inch of their life. The latter is child abuse. The former, regardless of whether someone thinks it is, is not.
It is not a shortcoming of Linux persay, but obscure applications with no Linux alternative is still a reason for why some people will not and cannot switch.
Just because I claim that a Tasmanian Devil is a basement-dwelling/.er, that doesn't make me a Tasmanian Devil. Like it or not, biblical literalists are creationists.
Of course, I suppose your group could have had the term creationist first and the IDers have merely subverted it for their means, sort of like what happened with the Swastika.
I fail to see how having a Government ration my health care and stick it's nose into my business is any improvement over having a private company do the same
Not saying having the government manage healthcare would automatically fix this particular issue, but insurance for-a-profit is never a good thing, especially health insurance. It should have the goal of making sure people can get the treatment they need when they need it be the primary one, not maximizing profits for the shareholders et al.
I didn't mean can't as in it's physically impossible to ever assign a $ value to someone's time, but lets try this then.
If I were a doctor/lawyer/plumber/mechanic/electrician/etc, I had to go through years of schooling to get where I am, I'm very knowledgeable about my subject, and can charge a substantial amount for my services because of this.
But a doctor can't do heart surgery once and when someone else needs it done, *poof* they magically are healed. A lawyer can't win just one single case and then *poof* and instantly win all other cases brought to them. A plumber/mechanic/electrician can't do their work once and for anyone else who wants the same work done, *poof* their car/home/whatever instantly has that work done.
On the flip-side, any Jack or Jill with a pencil, some paper, a public education, and an idea can write a book in short order. There were no years of paid education required, and upon finishing the book it can then be sold infinitely many times. In that regard, you cannot quantify the artist's time as a $ amount. At one point in time, when all literature was transcribed by hand maybe, but the printing press was invented centuries ago, and ever since then, it requires little extra effort on the artist's part to produce a copy, whether they are producing 9 or 9000.
Again, I'm all for compensating artists for their work, but to say that a book cost $x to make in this day and age is just ludicrous, because it does not work like that in the realm of literature.
How was this a PR move for 16 Systems? I always thought the data recovery companies declined because they had nothing to gain.
If someone were to take up the challenge, and fail, the other companies could say "See? They couldn't even recover a drive that was overwritten with zeros once. We are clearly the better choice for your business." If they succeeded, people would have gone "big whoop, everyone knows that recovering from such a deletion measure is trivial, and that to truly ensure your data is unrecoverable you need to overwrite the data on the drive over 9000 times with completely random data, throw the drive into a volcano, throw the planet with said volcano into a star, and cause said star to implode into a black hole, and even then it might still be possible to recover your data."
The problem with that idea is the book didn't cost $50 to produce. It cost alot more than that.
Says who? And why?
I'm all for artists getting paid for their work, but if I write a book, the only thing it "cost" to produce is my time, and you can't quantify that as a $ amount. To say that "it cost $x to produce because that is how much the artist could have made doing something else" does not work.
So what you're saying is that's better to vote for the person you know is corrupt and will take bribes and do all sorts of illegal shit, than vote for an unknown who might be corrupt?
I'm sure baby monitor tech has improved significantly in the 15 years since both my brothers left their cribs (I should certainly hope it has), but once upon a time, picking up a neighbors signal was a real possibility.
I've never tried this with a DVD, but if you use two VCRs from the same manufacturer, you could copy VHS tapes that had that macrovision crap. The copy still had macrovision of course, but you got your copy.
The things you learn when you use a VCR that can't play tapes as a tuner on a TV that has a broken RF tuner, and plug a second VCR into the tuner VCR:)
How is driving drunk and running over some other person not murder?
It's still murder, I don't think Thinboy00 was implying that any of those circumstances isn't murder. But just as an extreme example, I do not think the death penalty would be a reasonable punishment for murder via drunk driving, whereas with premeditated murder it would be. That is what I believe Thinboy00 was getting at.
In how many companies does HR choose the IT staff?
Not choose, but as I understand it, in the company I work with the resumes would be filtered through HR first and then be passed on to the IT department.
The difference, of course, being that the "new" battery has no "data" to speak of, any car battery of the same specifications would get your car rolling again just as well.
GP said should become available, not does become available.
Or was your "legal citation needed" simply a reference to the fact that we'd need some sort of legal precedence set in order to make said space available to protesters?
Ok, I'll grant you that it may have been a regular occurrence before 9/11. I'll even grant you that it's been a regular occurrence in the eight years since 9/11 (I don't live in New York, so couldn't say for certain).
But as I understand it, this is the first time in those eight years since 9/11 that a panic was stirred up among those in the area. Which to me seems to suggest 1 of 2 things.
1) There was something significantly different between this instance and all other instances in the eight years since 9/11.
2) This actually was the first time in eight years that a plane has flown like that around Manhattan.
In either situation, I think peoples reactions of "zomg 9/11 part 2!!2@1!" were perfectly rational, but if you have an alternate hypothesis, I'm open to hearing it.

You would rather the pets starve to death because they're locked up and cannot escape?

minorities of all stripes have interests that should be protected
As long as you mean "equal rights for all" and not "special rights which are unique to every single possible grouping of people", then I agree.

Unless, say, 10 students decide to pitch in and share a single textbook for the semester.
That they bought used (it hasn't changed in 10 years so this is a very viable option, unlike textbooks that have semesterly "updates").

requiring the two parties to a lawsuit to agree on *anything* is doomed to failure.
In a trial by jury, both sides must accept a juror in order for them to be on the jury.
(cue jokes about jury failure or something)
Even if they do, how do they prove that you handed over all of them?

An example is shown below (words in bold are supposedly plagiarized from one source, words in italics from another):
Thus, the Founding Fathers wanted to create a government that was stable, and protected the rights of the people.
How the hell do you plagiarize a single fucking word??? That?? And????
Or am I grossly misunderstanding, and it considered the phrase "the Founding Fathers to create a that and" to be plagiarized from somewhere?
