also look at any fines that may be levied upon the companies who encouraged their brokers to do this. It will take 10 or 15 years, and the fines will be a few millions. This may seem like something, but when they have pocketed hundreds of billions, and the fine is a tax break, then I dont see too much punishment in the mix.
I agreed with a lot of what they were saying and stood for, then Glenn Beck started to agree, then more loonies got involved and co-opted the movement for themselves, and the reputation was wrecked. Adding Bachman and friends was close to the same time, so I am not 100% sure which event destroyed the movement for me.
I still dont understand why Ron Paul ( who had all the ideas that the movement said it was pulling for before the movement existed) isnt backed by the TPers. I dont mind, makes me feel okay when I enjoy his rhetoric.
that doesnt mean that they should have just removed all support, effort and updates immediately. They basically forced all customers to upgrade hardware to continue to have application support. This was a consistent behavior from Nokia. I wont believe that anything with roots in these projects will ever stop the cycle until I actually see it happen.
I think this is close to accurate... all coming from memory. The 800 replaced the 770. The 880 was a minor upgrade that I dont think required full hardware upgrade to run the new stuff. The 900 replaced the 880 and ended its support. MeeGo killed off maemo which made the 900 look less likely to remain interesting. I dont even pay attention to the N9... Now MeeGo is getting dropped before it ever saw usefulness.
I really wanted the n900, and would have bought one except that I had purchased the n770 several years earlier. The n770 was a great little tablet, very cool, out to market way ahead of the iPhone with all of the features except the phone. When Nokia upgraded to the n800, the n770 lost all support from maemo. The new OS couldnt back port, all apps were being supported on the new OS, so my cool little device just sat there with no community and no support. I was very wary of the n900 for this, and waited to see what would happen. When I was about to buy one, the MeeGo announcement came through, and it was obvious that history was going to repeat. Nokia had no clue how to handle this, and the legacy is being handed down throughout all of the descendants.
this is true. I made a replica of a Diebold voting machine and crammed an atari 2600 into it. If anyone wanted to vote for an independent, they had to first solve jungle hunt. Totally hacked the voting process.
There are reasons for a few of these heightened sensitivities outside of people just wanting attention.
There is a theory that the amount of cleaners that we use prevent us for being exposed to mild toxins, and our immune systems really want to have something to do, so an allergy occurs to things that we should not be sensitive to. Not sure I buy it 100%, but it holds more water than just blaming more information to the hypochondriacs.
The soy allergies that have occurred go right to Monsanto. They have a protein that results in their GM seeds that they say cooks out. The Japanese asked for proof of this, and the answer turned out to be that the temperatures needed to remove this were not ever reached,and this is something that people can be allergic to. Japan denied the GM soybeans for this. I want to find people that are allergic to soy and take them on a field trip, as this would be fun to prove.
If this first theory is right, then our immune systems may need to dial back to being dependent on the external cleaners for protection, and then your point on weaker constitutions will be spot on. I dont know how many generations it will take for the FSM to create this change.
with one tiny difference, he actually wrote it. The family has done nothing but tarnish his image with their antics. All they have done for the world is share bloodlines with a man who did a lot for the world through words and deeds.
Aquifer is just the european name for it. We should be more sensitive and at least find an indigenous word to use. And perhaps have an argument over what native americans would have called it if they had the chance
exactly. I use the nike+ in my shoe, but it is so inaccurate that it borders on useless. It gives me a rough idea, but I use a mapping service like mapmyrun, or a gps (when I feel like carrying the phone with me) to really know how far I have gone.
Why only geeks. Hikers and runners put these to use in practical ways in these two comments. This doesnt have to charge a wearable computer, and besides, the concept of a high power draw computer is outdated... it is now called a phone. Plenty of hikers and joggers could use this.
I dont actually carry my phone with me because I dont want the weight, but I could be convinced to. If I wore a small camel-back I would not even notice the phone back there, and it would be safe from sweat.
Funny sweat issue I cant get around... the ear buds keep dieing because they get so wet. I cant wait for cooler days.
I would love this for my running shoes. It would be great if I could power, or possibly even charge, the mp3 player or gps devices that are used while running. This isnt specifically taking a walk to charge the things, but it is movement that I already do that could be used with no downside.
I am not trying to say that your idea is without merit, but it does not solve the problem that is being chased in this case. The teachers are getting paid anyhow, as the extra hours cover the lost day for them. The district is saving money in lunches, staff cuts, less miles on busses ( saving on gas and hours paid to the drivers) . The computing solution just shifts these costs to a different part of the government. While I am all for larger budgets going to libraries, that is also a favorite cut from the pols. I would hate to see the result of people claiming that the district had to supply the home with compute power and internet connection and the costs that would come out of that ( hint, way more than 50k ) . This is also an area with heavy snow, which again creates an unfair playing field for people who have access at home.
I have relatives in Iowa, and the internet connectivity there SUCKS due to the sparse population creating large distances between population, and some towns over ~200 people dont really support the infrastructure. I know that my phone bill pays to bring infrastructure to these places through fees, but the big telcos dont really care much about those rules it seems.
but without the cruise missiles we could never maintain the freedom to attend schools. We would get walked all over and destroyed by terrorists and muslims and commies and nazis. just ask canada about how horrible it is to not extend your presence throughout the world.
but now there is a requirement for computers and online access in the home. I know, libraries can provide this, with the caveat that libraries dont have busses or food. Now the county is required to provide computer access during a specific period of time and transportation to/from the location. My question is what is different from gathering all the students in one publicly funded building versus gathering them all in another? It seems this theory would only allow the teachers to have a day with no kids, which doesnt seem to benefit the kids very much.
I dont know the local politics in this region, but this sentiment may be unfair. Sometimes people refuse to pay more taxes to pay for more wasteful nonsense. The politicians who are getting neutered by this attitude like to strike back by creating significant negative impacts that receive high amounts of publicity. They always remove the visible costs that create pain first. This can make the reluctant tax payers look bad, and create a win for the pols. It may be that this region has huge waste in school boards or multiple overpaid principals or even absurd wasteful spending going to a pols friend's landscaping business ( many other ideas may be relevant to this argument) . Sometimes the citizens just have to keep fighting until the correct waste is removed. Now, as I have no idea about all the potential waste in the region, you may be 100% correct, and this could be idiot voters who refuse to pay for what is needed. I just hate to jump to that conclusion.
is there a mod choice for that yet, or can we all just call it acceptable to mod insightful anything that clarifies a point for those with no reading comprehension?

and the best part is when the summaries are 15 lines long, where the original statement is one.
if they would go in a straight line. That low center of gravity is a bitch.

no, i want the shark/gator/crocodile/octopus. single giant animals are for sissies
im not clear on these points also. Is it true that every time i log in to my slashdot account I have penetrated a corporate network?
Mega-Piranha/Shark/Gator/Crocodile/Octopus vs Dino-Ape/Monkey?
When does this one release. Sounds totally bad ass.
