How is 9000 deaths a year small for preventable deaths (keep in mind, we're talking about just in the United States). Sure it's dwarfed by deaths caused by smoking or obesity, but it's right up there with homocide, suicide, stds, drug addiction, etc. Drunk driving deaths represent 40% of traffic related deaths. The 9000 number is only about half of deaths caused by drunk driving every year. Seems like a problem worthy of attention to me.
I expect that God had the deadline approaching, and instead of perfectly tuning the constant just pushed out something that was "good enough" planning to fix it with a live patch later (Universe Service Pack 1).
Why shouldn't Amazon do their part? Shouldn't companies try and protect the environment they do business in? Companies have higher obligations than to just make money. Granted, I doubt there is anything they could do, much as there's nothing Ford can do to stop their cars being used in heists. But if they can, they should.
there have been times where I've wandered these parts late at night in lonely topics, and I swear I've heard the cries of the negative karma posters, screaming for revenge. They say their souls will not rest until they've compensated for their sins in life. On nights like these, they say you can see their cold remarks beckoning from the mist, trying to pull you into hell with them...
Governments are the most corrupt organizations on the planet? Yes because everyone knows that big corporations are actually run by angels and bunnies, who would never do anything wrong...
You can't patent this, think of the potential trolling applications. What about a dating website that actually matches people based on how similar their pictures are?
However, he did have an amazing campaign, and that is actually a good way to judge fitness for president. This is what set him apart from Hillary Clinton for me. The president is just one man, who relies heavily on advisors and his cabinet to make decisions. He can't be expected to have the expertise to get the job done. The president is an executive office, it's all about managing the people around you. Really the best training is to run your own company, something that is sadly lacking from the field these days. A campaign is the biggest organization any of these candidates have ever run. Obama ran the most controlled campaign of both the primaries and the election. We see the results today. He has a cabinet that has had little drama despite having heavy hitters surrounding him. He's led the most productive liberal congress in a generation, that even recently has still pushed dramatic legislation despite a strong republican tide.
Someone like Palin doesn't impress me. Look at the way the McCain's campaign managers rebelled against her after the defeat. Look at how little control she has over her image in the media, she looks like a fool to most Americans. Democrats can rest easy if Palin is elected. She may have a radically different view of what the country should look like, but she won't be able to get a thing done.
But I thought that Wikileaks was part of the press, and that's why they need to be protected. When did we suddenly separate them from the "papers"? Maybe we should blame the papers, but Wikileaks published the cables too, so they are at least equally to blame.
Megauploads is for one thing: piracy. What's so wrong about a company like Master Card only choosing to do business with legitimate enterprises? I thought everyone wanted these big corporations to start acting ethically.
Just today my spam filter sent an email from my mother straight to the junk mail box. We've come a long way in detecting the nature of a message or website, but we've got a long way to go. I've used filters before to keep crap out of my house, but have constantly run into trouble with false positives by the software. If the filtering is done at the ISP level, it will make it even harder for customers to correct these problems.
for the rich who got us into this economic mess, we increase the NSF grant by 8 times? I would love to have our economy powered by scientists who actually better the human condition, instead of those who play games with the stock market or con people out of their homes.
And I know the right will come back and complain about hurting "small business owners". I'm sorry Mr. CEO, but if raising your personal income tax by 2% means you can't hire someone, you have no idea how to run a business. Employees are supposed to generate revenue. Anyways, for every employee you supposedly can't hire, we're training a far more useful scientist.
For 60 billion a year, we could fund a million PhD students. How's that for an economy?

Why bother actually collecting the data if you never intend to fix the pot holes?
"Customers who confessed this sin also confessed..."
for trying to hire local work to set up their offshore IT desks. All this "ethics" this, "morals" that. Outsource that job too next time.
Perhaps in terms of the largest coconut a swallow can carry?
There's a nice table here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_preventable_causes_of_death#Leading_causes_in_the_United_States

Oh wait that's just the Michele Bachmann advertisement.

it's so misunderstood :( Don't worry mathematics, people don't understand me either. Want to go get a drink?
Scammed not just by the email but by the bank too! They should work together.
