At 50 you should have insights that the younger crowd doesn't.
You know what business spends their money on. You see what users waste their time on.
Don't try to make the next Facebook, but look for an area that cries out for a solution and provide it. Everyone wants to be a Rock Star, but for every Rock Star, there are hundreds of other people who build the stuff that Rock Stars have to use. Facebook runs on servers and uses software that they didn't create/write, but could not operate without. Be that guy.
It is almost universal that the defendant waives their right to a speedy trial on the advice of their attorney. Otherwise, their attorney would have to put on a defense far sooner that they would be ready.
First, it's a painting. I know you probably have never been exposed to those before. They proceeded digital cameras and 3D cinema by many hundreds of years. You can find more in museums if you want to learn more about them.
Second, the mistreatment of the American Natives is a sad and terrible chapter in American History. But it is by no means unique to America and was mostly an expression of political policy rather than Christian ideology. They had the land and the politicians wanted it.
The saddest thing is that even today the American Natives are still mistreated by being completely subjugated to the Federal government in the sense that they have to rely on the Feds for everything. The ultimate expression of welfare state you might say.
Only recently have some tribes begun to regain their dignity and increase their standard of living by hosting casinos on their land...something the feds and local government fought against mightily. The arrangement with the Casino operators is not optimal, but each renegotiation results in better and better terms for the tribes as they become more business savvy. Of course, now the tribes have to deal with internal corruption to some degree, but...hey, welcome to the world.
We send a TON of food to other countries. What happens to it?
It sits and rots on the docks It is hijacked locally and sold on the black market It is hijacked by the state and sold on the world market
In other words, it falls victim to the very same people/systems that makes and keeps the people of those nations poor and hungry in the first at place. Corruption on a massive scale, violence and anarchy.
So GTF off your high horse because no matter how you look at it, it is almost a sure thing that America sends more food overseas than does your country
Seems that some "educated" slashdotters who are AGW believers don't like any information that counters their viewpoint even if it comes from academia and is published in the Gold Standard of scientific research magazines, Nature.
Why is that? Why would you mods mark as "Troll" a simple link, perfectly relevant to the discussion, especially when that link is to a peer reviewed article in Nature?
Slashdot Mirror
You mean like Judith Curry?
Of course you didn't.
Hey man, it's his second turn. You can make fun of him now. Come out from behind that Anonymous mask and into the light!
Agreed!
But I'll take the Karma anyway.

Think razor blades, not razors.
I thought the seas stopped rising in 2008...somewhere around January or February.
Coulda sworn I heard that a zillion times.
WTF?
Yeah...that.
Ever notice that the Advertisements load faster and are of better quality (DPI) many times than the video?
Actually, it did this right out of the shrink wrap.
Also, it does this while it is active (so it not an issue of "always" on).
But what the heck, it works (with the fan) and that's all I'm concerned with.
My son's Wii requires a fan be set up behind it for cooling or it shuts down.
Presumably they fixed that for this version (may have fixed it previously...I don't know, I just use it for Netflix).
So those bail bondsman and only provide bail for rich people?
And Dog the Bounty Hunter never chases down some lowlife good old boy or other "non-rich" person?
BTW...4,143,077 Texans live in poverty. 1,655,085 of them are children. http://www.census.gov/ ...And 80% are here illegally.

The only thing in the middle of the road is a yellow strip and dead animals.
Elections have consequences.
Where are you from? Because regardless of where that is, you have a history of doing the same thing if you you go back far enough.

Every now and then Science stumbles across something that people who deal work in matters of the spirit have known for a long time.
50% Troll.

Tell us, we are all curious.
Who knows.

Twinkis!
Well, they were just thrown out of office.
I'm thinking that the vast majority of Slashdotters would starve to death if they couldn't buy their food at Quickie Mart.

Overall it seems that poorer, less developed nations will be largely impacted negatively
Didn't see that one coming. Next thing ya know we'll have to pay more taxes to mitigate that...to the World Bank of course.
