yeah, you notice that no one is complaining that TX's buying power has the same effect as california, but in reverse. By keeping anti-environmental statutes off the books. I mean, you can blow up an oil refinery a few miles from one of the biggest cities on earth with no repercussions.
Yes, exactly. That's why Ubuntu is a better introductory distribution. You could still include non-free packages to your Fedora system to make it work. Personally I want a linux system that works with all its hardware. I don't care if I have to do a little work. But I want someone else to do the discovery that wireless network card 'z' normally works with the stock driver, unless you get chipset 'y' which happens to be what you've ended up with. I'm getting the feeling that people are wanting Dell to offer a 100% compatible linux system with drivers that they've written and guaranteed to work. That's not going to happen.
Bundle it with Ubuntu. Something easy for people to pick up and play with. It's not like all the fans of other linux distros don't know how to reformat and partition a hard drive. If the hardware works with Ubuntu chances are it'll work with any other flavor of linux, so who cares which one they officially support?
First choice, stop censoring content. Second choice, censor violence as harshly as we currently do language and sex.
But it probably won't matter much. You can already get away with some amazingly violent scenes in a PG-13 movie. But say the f-word twice and you've got an 'R'.
Yes, but you know where my electrical breaker is? Outside on the front corner of my house right next to my phone line. I was only keeping complete morons out of my house, and the ADT sign in my front yard works just fine for them.
Hasn't everyone already heard of XML::Simple? Or are we pointing out again the reason why I stopped using perl? The fact that 99% of perl developers always reinvent the wheel rather than using CPAN.
The trade off for not being able to form unions in this state is that employers can not expect that their employees stick around. You can be fired at any time, and you can quit at any time. Normally this works out to the detriment of the employee, but Capitalism can be a bitch for the employer too. Hopefully they won't put you in the poor house before this gets thrown out of court.
I'm sure that the fact that they break constantly can't help. I'm on number 3 in 2 years. Over 7 service calls in 3 years. 3 cable modems. If Time Warner didn't have a monopoly it would be trivial to beat them at their game. I mean just reduce your service calls per household by 1 every year and you'd probably save millions.
Yes. I only said that CEO's were affluent and connected. That's why very C-level people move into the CEO position even though that would seem like a logical step.
Even though Wall Street likes to say that CEOs have some quality that is in high demand, we all know that quality can be summed up completely with the word "connections". They have no skills. To be a CEO is to have well placed family members or friends. Look at what happens when a CEO gets fired. They generally temporarily put another employee of the company in charge, until they can find another jackass with well placed family members or friends, they almost never promote from within. You don't get promoted to CEO. The only way to get into the CEO game without highly connected family members or friends is to start your own company. And small companies don't generally have CIOs. So that should answer your question.
This is complete FUD, yet again trying to stop any real research. Amniocenteses is a risky, voluntary procedure that doesn't return very much fluid (nor would we want to). How exactly would this be capitalized or used as a treatment. This is just a stop gap measure for research purposes until the Federal Government gets its ducks in a row.
Well, obviously there's a liberal bias to science. How exactly would you have conservative science? It wouldn't really be science if we just stuck to tradition and never tried anything new.
Or were you saying that people in Academia are more likely to be Democrats and thus you have an irrational belief that their science is wrong and biased?
By "much needed common sense", do you mean "agrees with my beliefs"? We know that the cigarette companies have been employing people to discredit global warming scientists. We know that the author of this book did research for the cigarette companies on the relative safety of second hand smoke. And we're supposed to take this as "common sense". Sounds like you're astroturfing.
I'd be interested in hearing some "common sense" on this subject, but not someone who gets paid by the tobacco and oil industries. That's just common sense.
Why would we really even care about China, India, Indonesia, South America and Africa at this point? They're a drop in the bucket compared to the US, and most of their industry is driven by our needs, not theirs. Therefore USians do bear the bulk of the responsibility. We are the only ones who can stop buying cheap Chinese crap or insist on pollution controls.
Getting a discount shouldn't be joke. I don't pirate music. Period. All of my music currently has a corresponding CD in a cabinet on the wall in my living room. There are over 400 of them. This is a great reason not to buy a Zune. I don't want to be giving more money to the record companies than I need to. And I'm sure the profits this generate will not go to artists in any way.
I loved the people I worked with. They were awesome. I don't, however, ever want to work with them again. I've found that it's nearly impossible to have coding standards with Perl guys. And I use coding standards here in the loosest sense. I should probably call it legibility standards. Like, "How about we try to always keep our opening and closing braces on roughly the same indent level?" As long as you have full control over your projects and never have to troubleshoot someone else's project you should be fine. If there's a potential that you could be on call in the middle of the night for a guy who manages to put "map" or "grep" into every line of his code, then I'd say run. Run fast.
If you don't know who to vote for. Vote an empty ballot. Empty ballots voted tell Washington that people are paying attention and don't like their choices. Not voting tells Washington people aren't paying attention and that they should feel free to do whatever they want. Part of the reason Bush was able to say he had a mandate was due to the number of people who don't vote. If only 60% of eligible voters voted in the last election, than Bush can say that around 70% (30% voted for him + 40% who didn't vote) of Americans wanted him in office, and Kerry can say that around 70% of Americans wanted him in office. And those "majorities" get even smaller in off year elections. That's disgusting no matter which part of the political spectrum you inhabit.
Btw, trolls don't quibble with my numbers. I'm aware that my percentages are off. That isn't the point of this post. The point is that until more Americans get off their butts and vote, pretending that you speak for anything more than a minority of voters is a joke.
DNC is not on your "do not call list" except in your head. They are exempt, as are the Republicans. As are "Otters for Clean Streams" for that matter. The DNC and the RNC have spent millions calling people. But that has no bearing on this issue. The issue here is the fact that they are repeatedly calling after you hang up, which is illegal. They are also making it look like a member of the opposite party is doing it. Which may be illegal. This has no bearing on whether or not you like getting phone calls during election season.
If you point this out they will probably just pass an exemption. There's really no way that either party is going to allow you to stop getting political calls.

I'm needing a new laptop in the next year, and I'll definitely be buying one (well if it comes out in the next year).
If they're going to be fining for inappropriate material on television, they damn well should be fining for violence.

This was public knowledge when I worked there. I wonder why it's taken so long to come to light.

>> Concerns of voter fraud have been heard from around the nation as well.
You want to post a link to that or are we just supposed to take that on faith?

So um. You got any examples of dirty tricks by the national party?
