Yes, but you're all communists living under oppressive regimes that stifle individual creativity and deny people the impetus and ability to make the use of their God-given talents, instead encouraging laziness and crime.
Actually, it does say that. I'll quote it for you:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
I was listening to NPR the other day talking about the supreme court and they brought up the concept of whether a person believes in either the literal words of the constitution or the intent of the writers of the constitution, and how that affects how people interpret it. It struck me that this was basically a religious argument and I severely doubt you can force someone to change their method of viewing that document.
No. My family is my primary responsibility. I do not have the means to help anyone else at this point.
If I did have the means, I would make the decision of my own accord, and fight tooth and nail any attempt for someone else to make it for me, and enforce it at the point of a gun.
You people seem to think this is all some reasonable trade-off - it isn't. It is a direct assault on personal liberty, and the very ideas that this country was founded upon.
The problem with isolationism is that it only works when you can't see the borders to your domain from where you stand. However with continual growth of you and everyone else there comes a time where you *will* bump into those borders, and the only sane course of action is for everyone to move in the one direction.
"The biggest problem is no one has ever given me an answer as to why my money has to go to pay the medical bills of my neighbor who smokes half a pack a day, or my neighbor on the other side who thinks it's funny to drink a case of beer each weekend by themselves."
Because it's a liberal progressive mentality bordering on socialistic/marxist ideals.
What would you do to help your mother/brother/sister/father?
How about your next door neighbor you hang out with?
The guy in the next street, or the next town?
At what point do you draw the line and say that I am going to help these people and not those people?
I think that part of the US problem is more that in general this line is drawn closer to home compared to other people who draw it further out.
Not really a total troll here, but I have heard that people like Rush Limbaugh have stated that they would leave the US if this bill was passed. Not that he will be missed by me, but are there people who are now seriously considering emigrating because they believe the government has failed them? I know that there have been a lot of trash talk from right leaning people along the lines of "if you don't like it here then leave", but I am curious to know what will happen now that the boot is on the other foot. Maybe it could be a good poll?
you are always going to pay for it. about time that we stopped the system of some people getting "insurance" only when they get sick
Except a couple of months ago I was hit by a guy who had voluntarily paying his auto insurance. At that point I found out how useless and backwards the US auto insurance system is.
If I was going to draw what I wanted in the computer anyway, why do we need CAD guys? (hint: they are less expensive per hour, to be cynical. But that lets us get more work done overall).
And in a nutshell that is partially what happened to secretaries and typing pools years ago - as with the miracle of the word processor who needed them any more. So now you have highly paid people obsessing over something that was previously outsourced to cheaper labor.
"A paperless office is as useful as a paperless toilet. Some things would be impractical..."
OK, it's not that old a saying, but it's valid in a number of ways.
You should travel through places like the middle east and like Turkey.. the paperless toilet is a reality and is the main reason you don't touch food with your left hand or shake peoples left hands
I have a 10" Eee PC that I drag around the house for surfing websites when I don't want to be in front of a normal computer. I love its size but the one thing about it that drives me nuts is the sound from the fan. Its high pitched whine just grates on my ears. an iPad without a fan would litterally be music to my ears.
Of course I am interested in any suggestions for 10" screen sized netbooks that don't have fans. Any one know of any?
The Press Release tells me what they have achieved in terms of goals, and what goals they hope to achieve over the next year or so. On the other hand the all Status Ops tell me is whether or not the LHC was plugged in over the last 12 hours. Both datasets have their place and both tell me something that the other doesn't or can't.
It's pretty outrageous calling the Director General's web update pompous.
I'd say you were new around here (as kdawson is not known for his intellectual musings), but damn it Anonymous Coward, you've been posting here for longer than I have - so you should know better than to write crap like that.
I think the issue the OP has with Fox has nothing to do with the Healthcare bill. A position that I also support.
maybe not nothing, if Fox raises your blood-pressure that much you might have a personal interest in health care provision.
Actually I self medicate by only consuming Fox infotainment (TV and radio) until I get to the point where the logical fallacies presented as facts overcome my interest in the topics being discussed. At which point I switch off and spend time in recovery until I have forgotten what triggered my last attack of rationality.
The USA spends more per head on medical care than the rest of the world but gets poorer service. Either your efficiency is really low, or too much is getting creamed off the top as profit.
I discussed this with my (Australian) doctor once and his opinion was that the US spends most of its big $$ supporting very expensive procedures for a few people, compared with other places spending the $$ for more basic health care for many people. After having seen the treatment in the US I would tend to agree. You get excellent big ticket treatment, but absolutely shit GP appointments.
For one, about half of all bankruptcies in the US are caused by people with medical insurance who can't pay their medical bills.
I used that fact on another forum, and someone countered that the amount of $$$ that the bankruptcies were for was in the order of $1000 or so. My first thought was - "bastard, shoot my argument down why don't you". Then my second thought was "Jeez, is that how little money separates the majority of people from bankruptcy. Thats really sad".
Oh.. and to help cover your tracks, when you are on location spend some time asking stupid questions on forums about how to do all of this, and how you really hate the [target company]. Maybe some ID theft thrown in would help as well to help establish your marks lack of alibi.
And make for fscking sure you weren't carrying a cell phone with a battery in it, driving a car with OnStar, or doing anything else that can put you anywhere near the location of the AP you're connecting to. Oh, and avoiding cameras would probably be good, too.
The Cell phone battery - definitely. I've seen too many crime scene documentaries on TV (Forensic Files etc) to not do that. I'm not buying an OnStar equipped car. The cameras are harder to avoid, but I suppose you could steal the plates of a car that was the same make/model/color of yours and use them in place of your own (at least for a short time). And hopefully there are no cameras tracking your face in any neighborhood.
Now excuse me while I talk to the nice FBI agents at my door.
Non-maroons who do stuff like this, do it from net cafes using a chain of anonymous proxys, and they do not get caught.
It's just the maroons like this one that you hear about.
If I was ever going to consider doing this I'd buy a cheap laptop off Craigslist for cash, and then buy a wireless card for cash from another location, and then drive to some community in the middle of nowhere and look for an open wireless AP. After which I would then pass said laptop through a shedder.. a really big shredder.
Everyone you have ever given a cheque to already has your account number, bank routing number and home address. Despite the little lock watermark and "micro-printing", cheques are 100% non-secure and should be treated as such. At least the iPhone has a four-digit password to protect it...
Its not that the checks are currently not secure - its the element of collecting the data electronically and punting the information around additional networks.
Just what I want on my cell phone...a picture of a piece of paper that has my checking account number and bank routing number on it.::eye roll::
You forgot about the second pic of the back side of the check that also has your signature on it - nothing could ever go wrong with that, even thought TFA assures that the images will be encrypted when sent.

Except Fox. Fox is bad for America.
Just because Fox says the health care reform is bad doesn't mean that we should therefore support the reform.

Hmmm . . . or gen up a copy of some plates of a car of a similar make and model and put them on the car near the AP.
+1 for original thinking! I'll have to start keeping a list of license plates for the same model car as mine! Much better than stealing them.
For one, about half of all bankruptcies in the US are caused by people with medical insurance who can't pay their medical bills.

You, uh, might have missed the rest of the post:
Ahh .. you might have missed the "humor". And I wouldn't exactly call a DEC manual priceless, one-off or irreplaceable.
Cut the spine of the book off with a bandsaw with a metal cutting blade (finer pitch teeth than typical wood blade)
Note to self .. remember not to use Vim's method on priceless, one off books that are irreplaceable.
There are 3 teams racing to break this record. The Brits, the Aussies and a USA/Canada team.
Obviously you are traitor, commie, or even worse a socialist.
If by that you mean foreigner, then you are correct.
