Our clients still run everything from 98 and 2000 to Windows 7. If it aint broke (well in the case of Windows 98 even if it is.) Now writing software that runs on all of those configurations is what I like to call job security;-P
You think the illegals (i'm in California) and homeless people on skid row are going to start paying this tax? Your kidding right. There will still be millions with no insurance not paying the tax. Since, like the majority wrote, there is no obligation to pay it.
Brilliant deduction, clown, but WRONG since people (even the uninsured) typically only go to the ER as a last resort. People, with insurance go to their doctor's for a hang-nail. The usage of the service will increase dramatically and so will the costs. Unimaginative ad-hominem, though.
There will only be two types of plans now, and the coverages are basically identical. Sorry if you wanted something different. Be prepared for endless politicizing of your yealthcare, though, since the coverages are no longer determined by you, your employer and your insurance companies willingness to pay or not pay for something, but by unelected bureaucrats and armies of lobbyists.
Uh.. You will be paying for more than ER visits now, since the poor will be shuffled on to medicare where doctors are payed a fixed amount per month per patient in case the patient gets the sniffles or something. Of course many doctors say that amount is already too low, and probably will stop seeing medicare patients all-together.
Since insurance companies can't deny benefits based on a pre-existing condition it will pay for some people just to wait until they are sick to buy insurance. After all what's a $2000 dollar a year TAX? My insurance costs considerable more than that a year.
Of course you will be picking up more of the tab. Anytime you expand something that costs money SOMEONE has to pay for it, and that someone is you. There isn't a single provision in Obamacare that will reduce costs.
Yesterday the RIAA-produced video In Trial, which covers the societal dangers of music piracy, made its way out to torrent sites, and among its contents are instructions on how to get RIAA investigators qualified as expert witnesses, a guide to identifying pirated CDs, and the above bit, about the links between people who profit from pirated music and people who deal weapons, populate terror cells, and murder their fellow man for sport.

Agreed. More monitors. I am using four, two 24 inchers flanked by two 20 inchers. You can really never have too many until you run out of deskspace.
Mult-monitors + RDP to home + RDP to old work machine + VMWare Workstation is how I roll.
I recommend Ultramon to put a taskbar across all of them and add icons that allows you to move windows from one to other easily.
"We know from lots of studies and lots of data now that violent criminals very often begin their careers as nonviolent criminals. And the earlier you can get a nonviolent criminal's DNA in the data bank, the higher your chances are of apprehending the right person.'
Holy crap? That's the logic behind this? Well i have lots of data that non-violent criminals "very often" begin their careers as non-criminals. So I guess we should friggin DNA everyone.
Our clients run a product (vehicle emissions inspection analyzer) that could basically be considered an embedded system. They have no access to the operating system and are completely reliant upon us (the manufacturer) to repair it, perform software updates over the network, etc. When they purchased said system it's design was standardized by the government body that licenses them, and software upgrades were specifically dictated by the terms of the agreement between the manufacturer and the licensing body. (Typically two free updates.) Now many of these devices are quite old (some as old as 15 years old in fact), but they still perform the task that they were designed for. While we as the manufacturer sell newer devices running the software package on newer operating systems, there is no incentive for us to provide updated operating system software (Many analyzers still run Windows 98) unless the customer pays for it, and there is no reason for them to pay for it if what they have is working fine.
In short the market dictates these things. If it's not broke people don't want to pay money to have it fixed.
I agree. If you take a nude picture of yourself it is DESTINED to end up on the Internet. Let's face it. If you take a nude picture of yourself your're an EXHIBITIONIST to a certain degree, and being (literally) EXPOSED as such should not be a surprising outcome.
Sports bars are for testosterone fueled male bonding and drunkenness not video gaming... Geesh.
Now if they had said Counter-Strike maybe they would have something...
I agree with EFF that merely entering a password into a computer is testimony in that you are testifying that you have access to and/or control over it. Secondly, obviously, if whatever was on the device was highly incriminating then I would take the contempt charge. Finally, how can the prosecutor prove that that haven't merely misplaced or forgotten the password?
Marital misconduct can result it dramatically different awards when paying alimony and dividing up community property. Even in so called no-fault divorce states.
The following states take marital fault into consideration when determining an award of spousal support: Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. (Source: American Bar Association, Family Law Quarterly, Winter 1998, Tables Summarizing the Law in Fifty States)
The following states take marital misconduct, especially economic fault, into consideration when dividing marital or community property or in reimbursing the marital or community estate: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

BTW: Your clown for arguing that slapping a GPS a cheating spouses car is somehow "one step" from domestic violence.
People don't have a right to "privacy" in most states, California, where I live, being one exception. At any rate when people are afforded this right it is typically a right to privacy from the government not other private citizens. You may have reasonable expectation of privacy for example in the bathrooms, but it is far from a right. Furthermore, parents have every interest is monitoring their minor children's activities. Minor children have no expectation of privacy. Back at you creep.
Hmmm.. I probably would have killed them both since I have guns at the house and I would have been armed with one rather than a bat. Voluntary Manslaughter.
The Hell it doesn't. You don't have any right to privacy on MY property or where I am paying the bill. I am tracking my kids phones, cars, monitoring their Internet activities, you name it. I don't keep my computer password protected from my wife or my e-mail. I don't have anything to hide.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO PRIVACY FROM YOUR FAMILY. The idea that you do is laughable.

I think it the case of the slot machine application he was describing, and the various systems I write software for we ARE the OEM.

Young people engage in risky behavior? Indeed shocking...

Skip the Brothel and just open the phone book if you are in Vegas. They will send several choices to your room. Cheers.
The GMail Man video is at least 6 months old. Where have you been?
Yawn.
