boycotting J&J is just a band-aid solution to the underlying problem of the corporate world's view that they can suck down some little blue pills, k-y up and have people bend over for 'em with "no more tears".
(I think that's all the J&J marks I can infringe upon in one sentence without some really off-color tampon jokes)
(Also - c'mon. Aveeno? Thank you, you trademarked a misspelling of "oatmeal" in Spanish. Good going folks.)

Another advantage is that no business in their right mind would enter into the chip market as a direct competitor, but embedded or other technologies will be encouraged by the GPL availability, spreading Sun technology.
Individual coverage may not be any better, though - why should I have to pay more for health insurance across the board if I have some specific health problem? Why would being prone to heart failure mean that I have to also pay more for annual checkups? Or better yet, what if insurance companies begin to use genetic profiling? The individual has no bargaining power against an insurance co. This is why we need some minimal universal healthcare coverage
When even right-wingnut types like Craig Roberts (Reagan's Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and the father of Reaganomics) is posting articles titled "Impeach Bush and Cheney NOW" to websites like vdare, (http://www.vdare.com/roberts/070715_impeach.htm ) with content like this:
"Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran.
Bush has put in place all the necessary measures for dictatorship in the form of "executive orders" that are triggered whenever Bush declares a national emergency. Recent statements by Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff, former Republican senator Rick Santorum and others suggest that Americans might expect a series of staged, or false flag, "terrorist" events in the near future.
Many attentive people believe that the reason the Bush administration will not bow to expert advice and public opinion and begin withdrawing US troops from Iraq is that the administration intends to rescue its unpopular position with false flag operations that can be used to expand the war to Iran."
I don't think we should even wait for the next elections; Bush and Dick have done so much outside the scope or in flagrant violation of their oaths of office that we should impeach the lousy SOBs. It's another 531 days before they leave office. Not that I'm a big Pelosi fan, but she wouldn't be actively ripping up the Constitution; and the hearings themselves would bring so many skeletons out of the closet that the neocon movement would just crumble.
What's missing is that the balance side in IT (and consulting type gigs, too) is hard to achieve and often looked down on. What? you're leaving on time? Weakling. You're not devoted to the cause!
This is why I work in non-profit. Lower salaries, but better work/life balance.
Exactly. 8/8/8 - 8 for work, 8 for you, 8 for rest (or WoW). 40hrs/week should be the maximum, not minimum that you're working. Get a life - it's good for you. Not only are women being smart by getting out of ridiculous job expectations, we as an industry should push back from them. Call me a communist, but beyond a certain number of hours/day, my time is not purchasable. (For any reasonable sum - if you want to pay be 100k and up/hr, I'll reconsider that statement)
If we want a society that's not raised by nannies, TV and McDonald's, we need to make space for family time - all the way from allowing employees time to date to maternity and paternity leave being standard, not stigmatized... not to mention flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
For a free iphone? sure, I'll take ads. I won't use it to call people, but I'll use it for music and Internet. I wonder if, like the free eMachines of olden days, you have to promise to meet a minimum number of hours online/ads viewed per month?
You're right, a variable I didn't bring out but should have is availability assists hooking up in the first place as well as number of partners. I'd expect to see magnet schools and spacecamp type activities in lowering the age of first sex among people with high IQs.
Actually I think you're on to something that the FA glosses over (or doesn't have strong enough statistical support to claim, perhaps). Do the most normal people have the most sex, by benefit of having the widest selection of potential partners that are similar to them? I remember the dating pool of people with IQs over ~110; it was... slim and awkward pickings. If amount of sex correlates with number of potential partners, and potential partners similarly is connected to people "about the same as you" on various scales, of which IQ is easily measurable, then those in the middle of a bell curve on IQ have a wider community of potential partners and are more likely to have more sex.
That's a lot of connections, so I'm not surprised that it's not brought out. Nevertheless, IQ as a measure may just be a proxy for an underlying mechanism.
Too bad that the Dems dropped the provision to enable collective bargaining rights for TSA employees because Bush threatened to veto any bill, even the antiterrorism bill responding to the 9/11 commission if it was tagged on there.
Or my favorite; my shaving cream comes in 5oz containers, which regularly get trashed by the TSA goons, even when visibly almost empty (less than an ounce remaining), regardless of whether or not I've taken the baggie approach or the hope-they-don't-catch-it approach. Why? "The container label reads 5oz" - meanwhile, my coffee cup reads 12oz, even when it's empty, but they're ok letting me take that on. Next time my shaving cream gets confiscated I'll try to see if I can keep the container - even an emptied tube probably has enough for one shave...
Hell I live here and I don't feel all that comfortable. And the gov't has my passport for renewal with no liklihood it'll get back to me any time soon.
Will the MAKErs have a flux capacitor and Mr Fusion DIY aftermarket addon kit/howto before the actual car rolls off the assembly line, or shortly there after? It'll be the "real world" fr1st p05T effect.
Well argued. Except now I have this image of Dobby parading about like Flea from RHCP with nothing but a sock covering his nudity. Please make it stop.
And? did it work? How many OLPC staff were there handling the implementation? How many trained people per school will a full roll-out require? What hiccups occurred, what's being done to fix them? What is being done about Internet connections for the laptops (without which, bitfrost is not very able to deactivate stolen machines)? It's great that a few classrooms have had OLPC days, what are the results?

You have a point.

What about heuristics engines? Will they get a huge "unless" clause tagged on to them?
What about people with strong firewalls which monitor outbound traffic?
I have a hard time believing the USGov is competent enough to do this well.
Actually I think you're on to something that the FA glosses over (or doesn't have strong enough statistical support to claim, perhaps).

Not to mention that this is wll known theory worked out by Gabe and Tycho; Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience == Total fuckwad.
Nothing new here people, move on.
as stated in the article. It's the handling of the NULL (%00) byte.
At the risk of abusing a double negative, Windows can't even do nothin' right.
I dunno, I had better cell phone service living in a 3rd world country than I do in America...
Last time I asked Nick about pilot projects he went on a long rant about how they were irrelevant and unnecessary.
Well argued. Except now I have this image of Dobby parading about like Flea from RHCP with nothing but a sock covering his nudity. Please make it stop.
And? did it work? How many OLPC staff were there handling the implementation? How many trained people per school will a full roll-out require? What hiccups occurred, what's being done to fix them?
