That's funny, the ridiculous loan I was offered in '05 was most definitely not backed by F & F. It was simply a bank assuming that property values would rise fast enough that risk was zero. I ended up going with a different broker, when the one that I was working with offered me the loan to "make my life easier".
Yes, but the post you are responding to is comparing soda levels of HFCS (and artificial sweeteners) to coffee.
I don't buy that HFCS is particularly bad, but I am willing to be the sugar calories in a self-sugared (or non-sugared even, there was no implication of over-sweet coffee) are far lower than red-bull or soda.
I think you can put your work in the public domain, also there are licenses such as the WTFPL, also, a license like CC without the riders should work too i think.
And if you want to make a political statement, add a rant before the license, something like damn those capitalist pigs, I shouldn't have to do this.
It'd be interesting to see: 1) how much dollar savings/account holder was saved in europe and asia (couldn't deduce it at a glance), and what the actual cost of those pads are (my friend pays $15 (10 pounds) for one, and has lost it more than once. Also, the ability to not bank if she leaves her purse at a friends for a day or two is an additional annoyance).
If fraud is costing the average account holder less than $20/year, I don't like the idea of giving the banks another way to charge fees...
According to the first paragraph in my link there's 26,000,000 mobile bank users in the US (I'm using this, the lowest possible valid number of account holders for this, as fewer people for same fraud means more fraud/person). I got this number by assuming 200,000,000 total account holders (108,000,000 x 2 approximated, as 108,000,000 was 46%, and currently 13% use mobile banking). If we take the US total fraud (approx.5 of 7.6 billion) and the 26 million numbers, we get about $136 per a mobile account holder, if we use the 200,000,000 number (total account holders) we get $17/account holder.
At $136/account holder it's probably worth it, at $17 it's probably not (as you mentioned the largest fraud segment would not be prevented). I think the fact that US banks haven't implemented it on their own says a lot about the over-all cost to value ratio, keep in mind, that in the IS at least, the banks eat almost all of the fraud.
note, this assumes 3.8 Billion in US bank fraud, if it was in the same ballpark of that 86 million number to be fixed I'd say no way.
Yes, It's actually way more skill than chance, but the fact that some pieces are a better draw than others tilts it more towards chance than if they were all equivalent.
Still, It's more accurately a game of skill and I'm a shithead...
About 300 people are killed per year by ALL long rifles and shotguns
came from. You're answer shows at least double that number. I remain curious where the number 300 came from.
I DO recognize that assault weapons are a red herring, I also want the strongest evidence possible to support that. The legal definition of assault weapon used by the us government extends to shotguns and pistols.
I'm pretty sure that magazine size goes beyond cosmetic too, though guns with standard magazines can meet the definition.
If we assume it's time of human civilization (non-extinction Apocalypse could count as end in that scenario) calling it a 5 of ten would be predicting 8000 more years, calling it 1435 of 1400 would be predicting 52 years, (1-.9935) * 8000, not what I think, but is the message they are trying to project with the issues they are mentioning.
OK, so that chart has approx 700, not 300 (and not the 2100 on the chart that I listed).
If we assume the 2000 (unspecified) are under-reported evenly we are left with approx 850 almost triple the 300 number you mentioned (and 1/3 the 2100 number in the link I sent). I absolutly agree with you in principal, and was curious where the 300 number came from because it makes the correct (IMO) argument stronger, I'm happy to go with less than 1000 vs over 6000, also, if you look at rifle/shotgun murders, it is less correlated with over-all murder rate, which has me extrapolating these are the background constant type murders, and not the crime related ones that are being committed.
The number is so different in the hand vs other gun type in the two charts I feel there's something odd going on with the 2k unidentified.
If anything, revolvers and bolt action rifles are far less likely to be protected under the 2nd Amendment than fully automatic weapons.
This is flat out not true. I can say with 100% certainty that the 2nd amendment does NOT protect fully automatic weapons. I say this because we live in a common law country, and the rulings on laws (however stupid they are on the face) ARE the law. This means that spirit of the amendment, or even a plain English reading is irrelevant at this point, the second amendment does not protect automatic weapons.
Oh look, non-handgun guns come in below knives and are relatively flat vs overall gun violence. Let's regulate them while ignoring the alleged premise for the legislation. Ugh, I fucking hate people.
The individual parts are chains or sprockets, the various combinations are gears.
A gear can be a physical thing, where as the concept of gear (as in a car or a bike) is more abstract. For example my six speed/gear car has 5 gears in it (2 drivers and 3 output). Your ten speed/gear bike had (probably) 7 sprockets (2 front 5 back, though newer ones I've seen have 11 sprockets, 1 front ten back).
Two sprockets connected by a chain have a gear ratio, but I'd be hard pressed to call them a gear (someone will probably correct me though).

I have Hackers Keyboard installed on android for just that reason.
It's android 2.3 (Gingerbread) keyboard, but with all of the keys (including under the Fn menu F-keys, SysRq Num Lock etc.
It's a touch small, but usable on a phone (I only switch to it when using SSH because of this). It offers easy keyboard swapping too.

Part of why they are broke is that they are funding states run by the other party, but they are also incompetent as you imply.

what's the average cost/account holder of breaches? Is it really more than the $15 or so / year my Scottish spends on keypads?

I asked where 300 in your statement

came from. You're answer shows at least double that number. I remain curious where the number 300 came from.

Cute, but no. Substantial (even insubstantial) parts count. See sampling in music.
The Berne convention requires the registration be optional, but does it require that a (c) be such ?
I don't know if I'd call it 5 if 10.
If we assume it's time of human civilization (non-extinction Apocalypse could count as end in that scenario) calling it a 5 of ten would be predicting 8000 more years, calling it 1435 of 1400 would be predicting 52 years, (1-.9935) * 8000, not what I think, but is the message they are trying to project with the issues they are mentioning.

Where are you getting the 300 number?

This is my biggest complaint about this debate.
Lets use handgun stats to regulate an entirely different weapon. That doesn't make sense at all.
Now let's look at statistics:

The article was good, it talked about making a quake lan party setup for very very cheap.
