Apple also is capable of turning a profit in the mobile space. They have devices that work well and sell on their own merits. Apple is not reduced to patent trolling to make money in wireless because they can actually make money the old fashioned way, by getting consumers to buy their products.
No - wait... the TSA should actively WORK in every OR in the country to make sure no doctors are implanting bombs in someone who may then fly at some later time, which the doctor knows, and for which he could then set the timing apparatus...
How long would it take oxidation to degrade the signal quality enough for the average person to hear?
Most people don't use the same types of cables for 5, 10+ years. Few people were using HDMI 5 years ago. I'm guessing something new will be the de facto standard 5-10 years from now.
Maybe we should re-evaluate the secret ballot. It would seem like fraud is always possible as long as ballots can't be linked one to one with a person. Even with paper ballots, someone can always steal or destroy or fill out fake ones.
Why not just go ahead and make it all verifiable?
When you show up to vote, they print a bar code off on two labels. One goes into the log book next to your name, the matching label goes on the ballot.
This is the software industry, in many places and companies.
Pressure middle managers to minimize labor. Use developers up like a pencil eraser, and when they quit, replace them with a new college grad. ???. Profit.
It's humiliating in the sense that their floundering mobile platform isn't being seriously considered - by consumers for one, but by handset makers either.
It's desperation because Microsoft totally reinvented themselves in the mobile space, replaced one crappy platform with another, and still is flatlined in this marketplace, unable to make money, watching the PC platform slip away - so they have to resort to running a protection racket.
In my opinion that is in fact both humiliating and desperate - but I can't get a refund on my MBA as I'm not finished paying for it yet...
Health data should not remain very tightly controlled by the government. It should be controlled in whatever way desired by the person who owns the data.
Yes, I have the radical belief that a person should own their own health information, not the government.
And, given that you have some form of choice as to your health care provider, you can look at their policies and effectively opt-in or not. Once government owns all your data and stores it in their hive, you can forget choice or opt-in.
Anytime you see freedom moving, you can bet it's in the direction of "away".

Jobs program!
Scalpel ready project!

You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done.
And you think those lines are long today...
So what should the TSA do here? Have a TSA surgical team prepped to slice people open and check things out, give them the grope from the inside?

someone != everyone
Verifiable != public

Worth pointing out is that there is a competing school of thought, which regards his suicide as likely having been an accident.
Not to worry. The hope and change we voted for will be here any moment to take us to Candy Mountain.
They *might* appreciate this feedback being brought up through internal channels.
No company appreciates a high ranking employee embarrassing them in the media.
Grounds for termination, IMO
that's only one of the myriad errors in grammar in that summary.
Exactly. So long as the economy is in the tank - and there are currently no signs that is going to change - you don't have a lot of leverage.

They should just completely embrace this business model and buy up Trollhaven, I mean Righthaven

The Khmer Rouge's health care plan left a little something to be desired, although I suppose you could describe it as being efficient...

And less prone to error.
Since when does the failure of omnigovernment policies in one place or time dissuade people from wanting to try those things again?
I'm waiting for the snickering to start on pushing people's love button to make them feel good.
Shirley they can't be serious...
