Why is this news? Rich people have more money than poor people (Duh - thats an indicator that they are rich) and that allows them to do things that poor people can't. Whether that is normal or medical tourism.
What would be news is reports of successful treatments that are available overseas but not in the US.
There is a character in that book who had his maid wake him up every morning by saying something like "time to get up you war criminal", so that when the authorities would question him about actually being a war criminal, he was so inured by the accusation that it caused no reaction in him at all - so he could happily deny being a war criminal.
But when I watch the video it seems to me that the visuals are running about 30% faster than the sound. I don't know if it is my computer (never seen this before with youtube).
I am also amused that a guy is supposedly running the demo, but that the user name/profile is a womans - perhaps we all get to share the one login??? lol
You are pretty close. I have environmental allergies (dust, pollen, ect). So I get allergy shots which builds up my tolerance. It works great.
I had a colleague who suggested that for pollen allergies that you locate local honey producers as that honey would work in the same manner as allergy shots. I don't know how true it is, but he swore by it
The first link in TFA is all about an additional approval process required for transmitters in the region so that they do not adversely affect the Radio Telescopes. The second link says basically the same thing.
Alternatively, deliver 3 days a week. Does anyone really need mail delivery daily?
Assume that the USPS has enough mail carriers to cope with 100% of todays deliveries (ie each carrier works a full day, and that the USPS doesn't carry excess workers). Now reduce the delivery days by 50%, but the public does not change its habits. Now each mail carrier is only working 3 days a week, but has double the amount of mail to deliver. So in the interim you have to hire another set of workers to carry the additional load, or get the current workers to work twice as hard.
If there was another class of people with the same or better potential for clean identity theft, he probably would have stolen their identities too.
I was watching "I [almost] got away with it" on TV the other day, and the perps solution to identity theft was rather low tech. He befriended homeless people who looked similar to himself, and stole physical SSN documents from them. Then he went and got legit drivers' licenses etc
John Stewart had an author on a few weeks ago that claimed a disproportionate percentage of CEOs were sociopaths - i.e. those for whom guilt and conscience have little meaning.
Well if it is your job to direct the company as a whole its best not to be bogged down with how your vision negatively affects Jimmy in the stock room or Mary in the typing pool (and yes I remember when secretaries et al actually typed), otherwise you would end up paralyzed with indecision.
HP used to mean printers in the minds of many people. That time faded.
In my mind HP will always be remembered as being the one of the best test equipment manufacturers, followed closely by calculators. A company that was by engineers, for engineers.
As for your marine murdering a man with a white flag, I can't imagine how you could possibly justify that as being acceptable.
A few years ago (from memory) there was a US soldier(s) in Iraq hauled over the coals for popping some bullets into a body in a house that they had just cleared of insurgents. The press was all over them for doing this (think desecrating dead etc). About the same time I saw a doco on TV showing how English SAS were being trained for the same job. In one scene a soldier was castigated for NOT popping a couple of bullets into the body after the fact. Doing so was deemed normal practice in order to guard against people playing possum. I can imagine that the US soldiers received similar training. So IMHO it seems that the reality of war did not meet the expectations of the journalists that reported on it - resulting the US soldiers being un-necessarily being tried in public by the media.
Because time is arbitrary, anyway. And not everyone uses DST, for that matter. There are some countries that dont use it, and there are states within the US that dont use it.
(without digging up the info) I think there is even a county or two that is inconsistent wrt DST/timezone of the state they are in.
There are a handful of different HUD modes, the one the harrier is using has been bouncing around like that for a few years now
Surely that is an easy fix? I tend to wonder about software where the easy things are overlooked, as then I start to question about how well they handle the harder stuff
I was watching the video full screen at 720p and noticed quite a lot of weird artifacts to do with the Harrier model. Displays from the HUD were bouncing around outside of the HUD extents, and at one point I thought I saw some huge gaps in the body. So I suppose I have to question where this was coming in. Is it the plane model, Flight Gear itself, or the hardware that created the render?
The government happily stands by when a major corporation announces that it has 120 petabytes (ie petafiles - my emphasis) under its control, yet if the average joe schmo even thinks about how they'd like a petafile or two at home the FBI, CIA, TSA, ICE (and every other TLA) hauls his ass off to jail and and etches a scarlet letter on his forehead.
Such harassment by the government of simple people who aren't hurting anyone else needs to be stopped. Think of the children -- how are they going to cope when their own father/uncle/priest gets charged with accessing petafiles? They'll be the laughing stick of their peers!
Except that the Jews are our elders in the faith of Isaac and Abraham.

Kosmo Kramer selling speed, and Elaine talking about the pearl necklace she was given by an admirer.
so it makes it easier to get rid of them all at once?

Who is this "we" that the TFS mentions??

Because TFS had no real details on what Metro looked like, I went hunting on youtube to find something. I came up with Windows8 Metro UI OS of the Future-Preview-Computex-2011
But when I watch the video it seems to me that the visuals are running about 30% faster than the sound. I don't know if it is my computer (never seen this before with youtube).
I am also amused that a guy is supposedly running the demo, but that the user name/profile is a womans - perhaps we all get to share the one login??? lol
Can we refer to Windows 8 users as Metrosexuals?
Well with all that prodding and touching and caressing of the screens they certainly are some kind of "sexuals"

Just so you know, there's a difference between "good, strong leadership" and "sociopathy".
Yeah, but either way you make the little people dance - whether it is for your pleasure or their benefit, you still make them dance.

This story is 20 years old. How about something new and fresh?
Phones are back for me now
The whole house shook for a good minute or more. Now I don't have to wonder what an earthquake feels like.
Where I am now, the cell and land lines phones are out, but I still have cable Internet access - thank you Comcast (oh the irony)
BTW Mineral is not Northern VA

I'm sick of zombie novels (and so is everyone else).
Everyone is sick of Zombie novels. That must be why David Weber is now writing Vampire novels. And to think that I actually read it to the end.
Personally I wish he would do a sequel to The_Apocalypse_Troll based on what the encounter with the Kanga's would become given the new tech.
