FoxNews(dotcom) regurgitates the same AP stories as all the other news sites. It's the opinion articles that have the bias, and they're under the headline that reads "Opinion".
Google makes a good browser home page because it loads quickly and isn't distracting (unlike Yahoo, for example). I've never found the results to be any more useful than the next search engine.
In the U.S., I don't think he'd even be allowed to do this without a decade of red tape from the Federal Department of Government. So he would definitely need some way to extract a lot of money to support all the regulation. Never mind getting sued into oblivion by ambulance chasing personal injury lawyers.
It wouldn't happen like this in the U.S., but it's not the market in the way. It's the government.
I drive a road that goes from 55mph, to 60, 65 and then 70 as you leave the city. The flow of traffic is initially 75 because it's just shy of the biggest ticket (if you're going to risk the ticket, at least make it worth it). By the time the speed limit is 70mph, everybody has settled down to that speed because it's fast enough. More importantly, everybody is going the same speed.
It's also nice to use your concentration looking for road hazards, not cop hazards.
Perhaps you should find another state to live in. Perhaps another country.
I'm in a mostly republican controlled state. It's 6 months and as far as I knew the state government had nothing to do with that number. "No break in coverage" is just that. I went from one job to the next and for a few weeks actually had 2 policies. I could have projectile leprosy and the new plan has to cover it. If I'd been laid off, I could COBRA the old policy until I found a new gig (yes, $400 a month would be very painful) and still not lose to "preexisting condition".
Honestly, you sound like you're still angry at Bush and your making up your facts.
Or move. I know people in New Jersey that say it's $600/month for base coverage. They should go somewhere that doesn't screw it's residents, or they should stop voting for the democrats that banned nationwide insurance shopping.
Oh, and if people think it's bad now, wait until the $600 screwdriver is applied to medical care. Wait until we have to take our appendicitis and go stand in line at the Federal Department of Government.
Every contract I've seen specified 6 month exemption for preexisting conditions, and that's waived if there's no prior break in coverage. Yeah, that really sucks if you get laid off, but if you're job hopping it doesn't matter at all, and your new employer doesn't have to know you're about to clobber their group rate until after they've hired you.
When Obamacare ends the whole concept of preexisting conditions, health insurance is doomed. Anyone with any math skills will dump their insurance immediately, pay out of pocket for general care, and then knock on Aetna's door when something serious happens - who will be forced to take them in. Insurance companies will bankrupt, and President Pelosi will step in to socialize all medical care. That's my tinfoil hat theory on our new health insurance "reform".
The first time I did it, I looked up an insurance broker in the yellow pages who offered a number of plans. It was relatively simple, and they paid a couple of high dollar claims without question (CT scan and a surgery). The cost was less than a policy through an employer, with employer contributions considered. They charged me about 20% more because I was a smoker.
The second time I went with Kaiser. It was, and still is, less expensive than my share of my employer provided insurance. HMO's have their share of problems, but the same problems as an individual or as a group.
I know there are people who are uninsurable, but the idea that most people can't get individual health care is a myth.
Try to turn this into an Obamacare debate if you wish, but last time I needed individual coverage it took minutes to sign up for it and it cost less than most employee+employer paid policies I've had, likely because I wasn't helping to float all those people with diabetes and heart conditions.
(though granted, with the Republicans in charge, those benefits are getting cut by greedy legislators every day)
Your statement makes absolutely no sense. You can't blame Bush for everything.
So if Netscape was taken off the market, my guess Sun would have helped produce a browser written in Java.
Perhaps Java on the desktop would have turned out differently. I still think the outdated and never updated VM in the old Netscape killed Java on the desktop before it even had a chance to take off. Everybody remembers seeing "Starting Java..." on the status bar, followed by the inevitable crash of the browser. Even when it worked, we had to target JDK 1.1 for years even though far better versions had been released.
I searched far and wide and found a modern pickup truck with a manual transmission.
It is very disappointing.
The modern all aluminum overhead cam engine has no low end torque. That makes a huge difference in the enjoyment of rowing your own gears. My previous vehicles had old American push rod V8's that put out peak torque right off idle.
Oh how I wish I could buy a compact 4x4 pickup with a diesel engine and a manual transmission.
Contractors, security, and military advisers are not technically soldiers either. I'd like to know how far this pull out goes. Either way, it will look good for the election, and it's not so close that people will ask why 6 months turned into 3 1/2 years.
If I were a voting Obama supporter, I would want a serious explanation of why Gitmo is still open.
Already did. But I'm sure they know where the money is. An article on Open Source CPUs gets 54 comments before falling off the main page. They just posted "US Troops To Leave Iraq By End of Year". I'll bet it hits 10x that or more and advertisers know this.
But I'm off like a lemming to go straight there and post about how my preferred party is less sleazy than someone else's preferred party. Why can't we all just argue about C++ vs. Java like the good old days and leave out the politics.

The best thing the federal government can do is nothing.

Fox news has made hardly any mention of it.

Sounds like an attention whore to me. I could build a "tracking device" with some PCV pipe and get myself in the news, too.

Unless your storage demands have grown apace of the normal increase in available capacities.
My media collection still requires the same storage space. It's not like the 80's are coming back any time soon.
And that 0.35% can probably figure out how to make requests straight off their map tile servers and skip the API altogether.
You do not shoot the camera while speeding, you shoot it before you go speeding.
Besides, they're probably not as skilled at shooting from a car window as a driver from D.C.
And does speed increase with speed limits?

All speed limits are initialized to federal standard guidelines.
They were. It was repealed in 1995 by the first republican controlled house and senate since long before the national 55 limit was enacted in 1973.

Oh you Americans... surely the enjoyment is in revving the engine a bit!
Well, it's hard to drive an underpowered car when you've got a cheeseburger in one hand and a gun in the other, right?

Only poor people can afford to have kids. Rich people don't need them.
After devoting your 20's and 30's to education and a career, it's much more difficult to get pregnant.
I think we'd run out of irrigation water long before running out of farm land. But even that would be way off.
IN VA, the "union" is basically a group-buy for liability insurance and a magazine every few months. It does nothing else.
