    If Bush "lied" about WMD, than what did all these Democrats, including Bill Clinton do when they talked about WMD?

    The WMD were found, there were plenty of chemical weapons found and destroyed in Iraq, but people like you continue to spout off about it.

  6. Re:Is this news? on Verizon Tells Customer He Needs 75Mbps For Smoother Netflix Video · · Score: 1

    For 720p you need 4000Mbps. Personally, I have a 18-20Mbps connection at home, and I normally get 720p quality from Netflix, except during the off hours, when I might get 1080p picture.

    Should that 4000Mbps be 4Mbps? Even that seems high, as I believe that 1080p = 5Mbps, but 4Gbps seems way overboard.

    Yes it is. Apple just chose not to make it, others don't mind doing it first.

    The last sentence should read "household income (does not equal) personal income". Slashdot doesn't like the greater than less than signs being used for that purpose.

    80% of people make less than $185,206 household income, 95% make less than $322,343, so 90% being around 200k is possible. Household income Personal income.

    Yes most. you have to count the 90% that make less than $65,000 a year.

    In what world do you live? 90% make less than like $200k in the US, not 65k which is near the average household income of $50,502.

    $65k and less equates to 66% of the adult population (single person vs household), not 90%.

  16. Re:Easy fix on The Engineer's Lament -- Prioritizing Car Safety Issues · · Score: 2

    Engineers designed the original SRB field joint for the Space Shuttle. When it had problems during testing, engineers designed the slapdash fix. Then that had problems, engineers decided it was OK to continue to fly while they worked on a fix.

    Politicians caused that joint to even exist. By putting the SRB plant in Utah, the SRBs had to be short enough to transport by rail, which meant that there had to be a joint which was connected at KSC. NASA wanted the plant to be near water so that the SRBs could be just shipped to KSC, and wouldn't have required the joint at all. As others have stated, the engineers had said no to launch, the accountants said yes.

    It would actually be against the agreements with the credit processors for them to share anything about your credit card.

    Spokeo works by aggregating public information, and everything you enter on web sites that it partners with. In the EULAs or other agreements is something about third parties.

    Spokeo is anything but free. Search your name on their site, they will show you some basic information, but they want $8/mo for three months or $5/mo for six months to access the real data. There is also no way to correct the information, which is what this lawsuit is about.

    That would be because sugar is a portion of the carbohydrate total. Therefore, it already has a % daily value.

    Those 28g of Carbs is 28g of sugar (as it is sweetened with sugar, not HFCS)
