Republican health care ideas might have lead to some savings in some areas, but they aren't going to fix the real problems.
Neither will the Democrats' health care ideas. Neither side even remotely comes close to what the real problems are.
Everyone seems to be changing the question from how much does health care costs to how do we pay for the health care costs. It seems to be a non-question that insurance companies pay the health care costs. An industry that started as just to pay catastrophic care where we only use it in the event that it's needed, to an industry that we prepay the costs.
Democrats seem to want to subsidize the cost of principal. Republicans wants everyone to pay their own way. Insurance company gets paid either way. Meanwhile the fact that a normal person can't afford the simplest of costs without having to use insurance seems to be missed on a lot of people.
Any idea, from anyone, that doesn't address that issue seems to miss the mark, in my opinion. How don't have any ideas on how that can be done, but the answer will never come around until the question is asked.
It's not just you and it's not because you grew up in a Hi-Fi world. I grew up in an environment listening to AM and SSB transmissions, and I have a hard time processing sounds, but at the same time I can hear the sounds just not understand them.
When I watch TV and have the audio coming through the TV speakers I'll turn on CC just to understand what's happening. If I feed the audio through the external receiver/dvd player/surround sound it makes it much easier to understand the dialog.
I've been accused many of times of selective hearing by family (since I at times exhibit hearing sounds they themselves couldn't hear).
If you don't know what you want then just wait until you do. One of the worst things you can do for a tattoo is ask what other people think you should get. You'll end up with something that they want and it may be cool now but years down the road it won't mean anything to you.
Tattoo's are suppose to be for life. If it's something that you foresee down the road that you'll not be interested in and go "why did I ever do that, ugh that's so yesterday" it wasn't a very good idea.
(Thus ends the legally-allowed questions - the rest of these violate the Bill of Rights (9 and 10).)
A second reply... "And what in the name of blue fuck does asking your age, sex, income, etc, on the census have to do with either the Ninth or Tenth Amendment?"
I think his point was towards all the people who seem to keep saying "The Constitution doesn't say they can't do this". Your quotes point out that the Constitution states the federal government is not allowed to do anything not mentioned in the Constitution, and asking about age, sex and income doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere around the part of the census. In the past they've had to justify something as part of the Commerce Clause. In modern times they (national government) seems to have forgone any need to even rationalize what they are doing as a power granted by the Constitution.
This legislation doesn't curb anyone's rights. Nothing in the bill restricts or infringes on any rights enumerated in the Constitution,
So when some guy walks into your business and says "Pay be $100 per week and I'll make sure that your protected from flying spaghetti monsters and if you don't I'm breaking your legs." He's not restricting or infringing on your rights.
I'm not a particular fan of mandates, either, but I understand that in the end, it will be a boon for everyone in the country to have some sort of health insurance.
No what would be a boon for everyone is if the price of health care was affordable.
And let's be honest here, 10K in catastrophic insurance is a drop in the bucket if you get cancer.
He said deductible. The first 10K he pays out of pocket. It's the rest the insurance pays.
You should also send a check to me for any time you spent in my state, and thus fell under the protection of police, fire, and ambulance protection. I paid for it, and the various services were on call for you if you needed them.
Actually everyone already does. It's called a Sales Tax. So if I stayed any length of time in your fine area, I have already paid for the possible use of your quality police, fire and ambulance. Fortunately I was not in need of any of those services, thus I wish a refund of the money I placed in the hands of your fine city.
My area has a higher gasoline tax than many other areas, which helps pay for better roads. If you have driven through my area without stopping for gas, you are getting something for nothing.
Fortunately for me, as I passed through your area, I stayed on the Interstate which is partially funded by my federal income tax. I find the many years I've been funding your roads is highly disproportionate to the time spent driving on them and I request a refund of the money that I have not used.
So you're proposing that instead of the taxpayer paying for it via taxes, the customers will pay for it via price increases handed down by the providers to cover the extra costs?
So it's OK for everyone to pay for it as long as it's not called taxes? Brilliant.
As much as you aimed that comment sarcastically, you are right on the money. Think of it as paying for something you actually use and is meaningful to you. Rather then paying for a service that you didn't use, but instead someone got to use.
Or to put it another way. Why should I work for 60 hours a week busting my rear so that you can sit in your parents basement getting high scores on Call of Duty since you have virtually no lag time thanks to my taxes?
... The reality is that the fundamental difference between Republican "alternatives" and the health care bills proposed by democrats is that these alternatives were simply bills related to health care (not comprehensive health care alternatives),...
There's nothing wrong with thinking we don't need to overhaul the health care system in the U.S....
I see this as an often repeated bit of misinformation. The health care bills that were proposed where nothing about health Care reforms. They where health Insurance reforms and could actually be described as health insurance entitlements. The proposals did not address the cost of services as provided by the professionals, but instead addressed cost to the policy holders and constrains on the insurance companies.
Health Insurance has lost it's purpose. It's suppose to be a hedge that someday there might be a cost that is too great for me a consumer to pay and someone else foots the bill, or part of. The cost of getting health services has become so great in today's economy that a simple service of just seeing the doctor has become to the point where that hedge has to be leveraged.
Health care has become something for the government to subsidize. Rather then looking at "why does it cost so much" it's "how can we get someone else to cover the expenses". A lot of the people seem to stand behind a policy of someone paying for it, even when that someone else is standing behind you reaching into your pockets for that money. After all, how can they afford those prices when the taxes are so high.
But in this case you are off track. There is one other important aspect of free markets, choice. If you don't like not having access to Google Voice on an iPhone while being locked into AT&T, well then send them a nicely worded letter why you won't use them or continue to use them and go to the mall and toss a rock, you'll hit at least 3 cell phone providers. If Apple/AT&T senses they are loosing enough customers because they aren't allowing Google Voice then they will allow it.
Free markets depends on customers and/or potential customers making choices. The choice in question isn't what applications you can run on a particular phone, it's what phone service provides you with the features you want.
As with any profession, in order to work effectively, you need to know the tools. Just like the classes teach notation/language of the specialty. Would anyone even think not to teach mathematical symbols for Calculus. The students will be dropped into jobs using and maintaining programs written 40 years ago.
If the majority of special written software is python, then yes the initial programming should be python. Go with what they'll need to know.
Exactly... It's the move to a more transparent govt. of course. No more need to file that silly Freedom of Information Act form. Everything will out in the open.
Except for that little fact that the first company ever to come out with a RAID based dvd jukebox solution got promptly sued into oblivion by the movie industry. True, but in the end that company finally won. Which sets a nice little precedence for everyone else wanting to build such a system without fear of losing when the movie industry starts yelling foul.
You can't create a "Derivative work" without permission (for any reason, not just profit). He did. He did not have explicit permission.
Right on point one, but are you right on point two? The site was selling a derivative work of the movie Serenity, but from the links in the article and the comments elsewhere in this discussion, there seemed to be an implied permission for the fans to be allowed to self-promote the movie. From the very first link:
Members were encouraged to form regional groups to promote the film and perform activities that would help generate word of mouth, like creating bumper stickers and gift cards to accompany the DVD release.
While no contract with the groups where signed, it sounds like Universal knew that some forms derivative works or use of Universal's trademarks where going to be used in the form of promoting the movie. So does Universal have a right to demand retroactive license fees, from the members of these groups?
You do need people to tell you that the temperature makes something "unfit for human consumption", which is what McDonald's admitted it knew at the time. Yes, you need to heat coffee to a very high temperature to brew it. Then you need to let it cool down before serving it. Anyone who does so without warning people that it is not fit to drink at the time they sell it deserves whatever lawsuit they get.
I'm sorry but anyone that doesn't know the McDonalds serves coffee at the temperature of the sun has been living under a rock. A lot of people like that. How can you tell? Because they McDonalds has a lot of return business for more coffee. So when does it become the responsiblity of the consumer to use common sense and their own prior knowledge before using the product? As I mentioned before it's a widely known information that McDonalds coffee is VERY hot?
...other than iTunes, what else is out there? (I'm sure someone has a list, though, and I'd like to see it really.)
Well, how about LimeWire for one. We're talking about distribution channels here so why would someone need to put forth all the effort of setting up a iTunes like infrastructure (website, membership, etc...) if they don't want or need to charge for their product if you already have a distribution channel that millions of people already use.
One of the leading "legit" reasons for P2P networks, that has been touted, is that people don't need to sign up with a major label anymore to act as a distributor. Simple websites for an artist, web forums, newsgroups, blogs, mailing lists, can act as prelimary marketing and then you just drop your songs into the P2P network and let it spread.
iTunes like services are for works were the artist wants to be paid for their work, but how many bands out there pushed the "word of mouth" of their bands through allowing bootleg copies of their live performances. P2P networks act as just such a distribution channel.
That's my 2 cents
It'd only work if the soldiers were trained to hit the terroris without hitting the tens of people surrounding him/her, or hitting any portion of the plane itself. Given the fact that they'd be doing this in a close-quarters situation with potential turbulence, all I see are is a bunch of explosive decompressions due to stray rounds puncturing the skin of the aircraft.

Switches and routing are different things, you can't really compare the two. And again, in their router module, if you implement any sort of ACL, are you still avoiding process-switching?
This used to be the case waaaayyyy long time ago (ok we're talking years not decades) but starting in Cisco's Cat5500 series they've started pushing the FIB (Forwarding Information Base) into hardware as much as possible... Update an ACL and the assocated FIB gets updated. It started off with the first packet of a flow gets processed switch (i.e. routed) and then the rest of the flow after that gets switched after that, now with Cat6500s with a current supervisor card and fabric enabled host cards it's not even that. ACLs (now VACLs) modify the FIBs directly and everything is directly switched, TTLs decremented as they pass through, counters incremented etc (aren't ASICs nice)... allowing the processor lazely handle the hum-drum work of responding to SNMP requests that dump information tables that would chock a small horse.
i'm really not sure what that has to do with anything.
The point I was trying to make, and that many other people's comments seems to have also said, is that this is not a new thing. There's already censorship over books, tv and movies.
The statement the article makes (the basis of the suit) Since the government does not regulate the sales of those entertainment industries... is false, the "government" does already have some regulation over these industries, sometimes it's the local, sometimes it's the state but sometimes it's the federal government, but these industries do have regulation over them.
what will happen is that tv, books, and films will be censored and subdued because video game developers are crybabies
So I guess you've never tried to get into a rated 'R' movie at 13 years of age, or pick up a Playboy at the local MegaMart at 15, and never heard of people right off the stage during a broadcast TV show taping called a Censor, making sure that the actors don't do something offensive, such as use an explitive???
"I didn't learn C# in Comp Science but I could learn it in an afternoon.." I'm a young guy (22) and I've been programing professionally for nearly four years and I can tell you that this is simply false. Make no mistake about it, I'm still no coding grand-master and probably wont be for another ten years. When somebody says that they can learn a language in an afternoon it doesn't make me think they're lying, it just makes it blatantly obvious how ignorant they are of intricacies of writing code.
Hmmm I'm split on this, and I think the initial question actually goes into this. As someone else pointed out the CS goes into the science behind the scenes. True you don't need to know the machine representation of a floating point number, or how different platforms normalize numbers, in order to write a program, but to be able to profile and truely understand how your code is run, it does.
What does this mean for someone that says they can learn C# in an afternoon? Well, I've know programmers that know a language so well that they can do things that in that language that you just wouldn't think possible, but tell them to write that same program in another language and they are lost. While other programmers that I know, just translate their ideas into what ever syntax is needed and to them a language is just nothing more than syntax and grammer.
When you already have a large number of languages under your belt, then how long does it take to pick up enough of the grammer and syntax? Granted you won't be making any masterpeices, but can you write a program?
Back when I was in school, I used to groan, grip and b*tch about learning a different language practically every semster, each class had it's own language that was required, I know C already why did I need to know anything else? Years later, I had to debug and modify an application in PowerPC assembly, never seem it before in my life. I already knew M68k, Intel, and SPARC assembly. So sitting down with a reference manual and the code I was able to pick up what the program was trying to do, how it was trying to accomplish it, and what parts I needed to modify, within a weeks time.
There's a difference between picking up a language and becoming a grand master, but I agree it's a lot in the attitude of do I learn this for this class or do I learn to apply it myself.
64bit data is double the size of 32bit data? Just installing a 64bit version of an OS doubles your RAM requirements compared to the 32bit version?
And the last time you wrote a program did you just say int or uint32? I highly doubt that majority of programs specified the size of their memory requirements and just let the normal word size of the platform dictate it for them.
With the majority of the structures using the default word size, going from 4 to 8 bytes is going to increase those memory requirements.
