If one were going to actually inflict harm upon another, why would they give them a heads up with a threat? You'd think they'd just do it. Ever notice in horror films that the guy who says "I'm gonna kill you" is always the one being killed. You'd almost think that a threat is an indication someone's not going to commit a crime. "Excuse me sir, I'm going to rob your convenient store at 11pm"...wtf?!?
if we didn't live in a society where the average Joe plays by one set of rules, and the "elite"(they're actually fascist morons) play in lawlessness. The FCC will find a way around this because the internet is a threat to our totalitarian government. Net Neutrality claims to help the consumer, but like all legislation coming out of Washington there is a lot of non-sense attached that will ultimately screw the consumer.
If we lived by the constitution, the FCC wouldn't even exist.
Well said. Also, if you're a hot female...why even work. Just marry some rich guy, spend all day at the spa or boinking the pool boy...wait 10 years, take half his shit, and collect alimony for the rest of your life.
They exclude the price of food and energy in those numbers though. If inflation is going up(which it always does), the purchasing power of your savings is going down. Furthermore, inflation is an increase in the money supply, not an increase in prices.
Plus you really can't be that smart(even if your score was respectable) since the label on the package says what you're doing is really stupid, metaphorically speaking. That's like saying the girl in Scary Movie who ran up the stairs when the sign said "Certain Death(pointing up the stairs)" might be smart if she scored high on an IQ test.
How about LEARNING HOW TO SING!!!! Pitch correction sucks! It has got so bad now that I saw a Youtube comment saying "This guy is out of tune on every note./ about a live performance. The response was "Haven't you ever seen a live show?" As if to say no one can actually sing in tune.
The younger generations ears have been trained to prefer the dissonance of pop singers. You can form fit a turd to a baking pan, but it will never be a chocolate pie.
I thought Slashdot was against redundancy??? We've gone over this before. Programming is a result of math so if you can't do math, well you're retarded, but you can't do programming either.
HMO, Medicare, Medicaid, and countless mandates on insurance companies have already done considerable damage to the health care system. This will ultimately destroy it. The price of health care has been rising ever since the government started intervening back in the 70's. If you look at any other free market item(well mostly free, nothing's totally free market in Socialist America), the price has come down in spite of inflation. You can look at computers, electronics, etc....Of course a defender of Socialism would say health care is more complicated than computers(which I probably disagree with), to which I would rebut with Lasik Surgery and Plastic Surgery....neither of which are covered by insurance.
Insurance is government controlled pre-Obamacare bill. When the government tells the insurance companies what they have to cover for policies, that is government control. Things like maternity costs, diabetes, or eye exams should not be covered by insurance. That would be like having your automobile policy cover oil changes. The purchaser of an insurance policy should decide what he would like to insure. Insurance is for spreading the risk for an unforeseen tragedy. At least a portion of what the government forces insurance companies to cover does not meet that criteria.
It is quite unethical for the health care industry to make you sign to agree to pay the amount, but not tell you what the amount due is going in. You find out AFTER treatment. Well in a free market, you can find out the price before hand and shop around.
The Democrats wrote a 2800 page bill. I can save 2799 pieces of paper AND solve the health care crisis.
1. Repeal the HMO, phase out Medicare and Medicaid.
2. Remove all government regulations on insurance and let the consumer decide what is insured.
3. Remove all government subsidies on cadillac insurance plans.
4. Allow private companies to build hospitals, and compete for patients business. At the same time, stop subsidizing public hospitals.
5. Stop subsidizing education and driving up the cost for Doctors forcing them to charge these outrageous rates.
Why do people use it? It's so stupid! They took myspace's idea, but became more successful by selling people's personal information. How about getting a life!!! (Okay, slashdot is stupid too, but I'm only here 5 minutes a day)
I do understand it's(higher education) goals. I've been through it, in fact I attended the top ranked engineering school in the country, and made the deans list. All of the subjects you mentioned are not education. They are interpretations. Most of the professors, I'll admit there were a select few who were brilliant, didn't come prepared to lectures. They just rambled meaningless drivel. The ones that were brilliant were vilified by the rest of the underachievers.
The goal of higher education is for a bunch of lazy professors to mooch off of the taxpayers.
Just because Schumer is meeting with Obama does not mean Obama is responsible for this idea. According ot the article, a source in the white house said they have no official stance.
You're clearly not familiar with the "Opposite Theorem". This means that the White House does have an official stance, and they're in favor of it.
If you're a natural gas tycoon(which I am long in, although I'm a peon compared to the big guys), your business is selling energy. You have to pay people to extract the gas from the field. If you could buy wind farms instead of gas fields and make money, why wouldn't you. Wind energy is FREE(minus some overhead which you have with gas too), and you could sell it for ALL profit.
We're(in the US) very sorry for (take a deep breath) Lady Gaga, Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, Kelly Osbourne(do we take full credit for that, or does Britain get half the blame), Kelly Clarkson(especially "Since you been gone"), Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, 50 Cent, Daughtry, Kings of Leon, and any other artist that has made an appearance on MTV, VH1 or came from American Idol(once again, does Britain get half the blame?)
This sounds good, not $10.7 million good. How do I know that someone didn't just do a good job of midi programming? The article, like all pop science articles, is extremely vague. "Complex software" could mean Sonar from the perspective of the average Joe. Throw a bunch of buzz words at a group of investors, and they might bite. I've seen it before, and couldn't believe it when I saw an investor cut a check for $1 million to the stupidest idea(of course he lost his money).
Even if this software worked perfectly, you still need performers to create new styles. They will never be able to recreate the vibe you get when seeing a live show. If they did, you'd have a computer that could pass the Turing test.

Thanks for that meaningless tautology.
That's why the record stood for so long.

Damn, you beat me to it!
nothing further.
I wouldn't mind that. Your affairs with Russia are none of our business.
I agree. If I had it my way, we'd bring home our troops from whatever 130 countries home immediately!

It's the whole prisoner detainee problem. This is more useless research pointing out the obvious cranked out by our "higher learning institutions".

"Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly and efficiently in the background" Is there any software that is loud?
We need to get that to a very advanced level. No publisher will ever invest in the tech though. Surely the first will be a garage implementation.
