too bad i got sick of the artsy focus and just quit watching before I read this comment. I may go back and try again, after the headache that it caused has left me.
This will teach me to never again read any links from the summary, just jump straight into the comments.
the point in the limit is to force this conversation. The budget is obviously written with no regards as to how much money we have. There is no balanced budget amendment, and even the pay-go idea had exceptions every time it got in the way. The chance at altering the budget is available now when everyone knows that we spent more than we have. Having the conversation at a point in time when there is still an unfathomable amount of money seemingly in the vaults will do no good. Forcing a rebalancing of the spending is relevant right now.
The only holes it appears that could have been created are a matter of degrees, which is basically what the entire argument boils down to anyhow. If the strength of the effect is negligible then that could have proven one side correct, if the strength is severe then that could bolster the other. The answer being " this cant be measured" only allows both sides to keep calling names and cherry pick their arguments from the same source ( if they feel like doing that ) .
There is also a GIANT disconnect in people that want to remain private yet have the ability to shout to the world. There is a level of control in G+ which is nice , but lets not confuse that with privacy. As soon as you begin to use this service to attempt to gain any of the value it provides, you have opted out of a giant piece of privacy.
If you want a fake name for privacy, go build you own social network , use a goofy name that cant be associated with you, and then as there will be no one else on your network, you dont have to worry about people knowing your intimate details that are being POSTED ON THE WEB! . ( or just start a blog at tumblr )
or just bolt a tunnel and turbine onto the side of every tall building we have already built. If the entire point of height is the temp difference, then a huge greenhouse doesnt seem to be needed except for huge output. If the air continues with some speed, why not stack turbines every few stories on the way up and allow one of these giant buildings (that are already built) power itself by some percentage.
These would be an interesting use of the idea and my tax dollars.
yes, you have to deal with a few annoying customers as a cost of doing business, in every line of business. If your entire customer base is acting this way, then it is safe to assume that your competitor's customer base is pulling the same scam on you, and everyone raises rates together. The itemization becomes a basic service with no option to opt out of, the companies make this as efficient as they can over time, and the original profit margin pulled in by this service is not many multiples greater than original. Not a big deal.
I would like this game... you can fling ipad owners from a catapult into a giant concrete paywall of NYT. I dont care if the wall crumbles or the users just go splat.
I am certain that you could access the data from many locations, and that it was stored in remote locations most of the time you accessed it. The only change here could be consolidation to less sites. Security could actually be raised depending on the current rules around access and information sharing between the many sites. Cloud is a buzzword
once upon a time... I was playing EQ and we were in a language group, where various races would choose to speak in a language no one else knew, and the more that the characters heard this ( displayed as gibberish on the screen ) , the higher their understanding, until eventually "fluency" was achieved. One of the people in the group chose to spam the group with a joke " the only problem i have with sex on tv is losing my balance and falling to the floor". Another member of the group hit the roof as he began to understand through the language filters. It was kind of funny . The offending group member changed his message to something along the lines of " hack and slash is ok for 10 year olds, but dont mention the S word."
it does this. the extra credit on each exercise gives a challenge based on what the basic goal of the exercise was. I havent looked through all of these to find if there are some that are especially exciting or fun, but the chance at a bit of entry-level creativity is there.
this is absolutely true. I rarely take the meds, and I always wait to long to start, as I absolutely hate the way they make me feel. I did take a lot of LSD in my time, and I had less headaches during the times that I was using drugs, but I never want to link those two things in definitive ways as there are far too many variables to consider.
I had some prescriptions that nearly disabled me, all I could do was sleep. I describe the choice of not taking them to my doctor as a choice of being at all useful. If my house is on fire, and I have a headache, I can get up and leave. If I am on the meds, I may just sleep through it. Given those choices, I live with pain.

since when does previous use prevent a corporation from patenting?

i see what you did there
very cool . I wish you had written the summary.

and by saying that it is not possible to track this function, this blows a hole in the previous theories.
be sure to bring a herring with you. Never know if you'll need one.
damnit. i came here just to make this joke.
was there a Natalie Portman shower scene only available on a special edition DVD set?

and once this ruins you view and you move out there will be one less animal there to worry about

is there more to the world than that?
yup. I am glad I am not the only person shocked by the depth of the recommendations in the G+ tool.

this is why I insist on groping my relatives when they come to visit. With the back of my hand of course
bah , just wrap your house in aluminum

I dont remember the country taking to the streets to riot. I think the streets were empty as everyone was busy hitting replay on their tivos.

and you can also just turn the banners off to avoid the false positives. This does not mean that you are not vulnerable.
