Oh on the Maine thing, this weekend was State delegate selection and a straw poll. The results of the straw poll was reported, the State delegates will elect the national delegates in May, they are currently uncommitted. Many people say that the Romney and McCain camps didn't call stay for the actual caucus, but who knows.
Paul is +10% in several states. He possibly won Maine, its just that the whole caucus thing was ignored by the media, he MIGHT have won Louisiana, 66% of provisional ballots went uncounted, it was enough to hand paul the win as 80% of provisionals that were counted went to Paul delegates. There is an official complaint filed by the campaign to find out what happend (Essentially all the people who signed up as Republican's late november paperwork went unfiled)
Yes and no, rollout was supposed to start in the 90s but the actual targets that should have had fines if not meet was in the 2000s and ultimately was Bush's responsibility. Of course nobody including Clinton really planned on requiring anything.
How bout this, Virtual tasting. You can have adsence ads for the 5 days, BUT you don't receive any real money and the advertisers aren't charged. This way you can know how successful the domain might be, without occurring actual ad revenue.
Its probably not fraud, but it defiantly did self cancel. On http://www.sos.nh.gov/recounthills.htm In Nashua Ward 5 Clinton gained 71 votes (out of a about a thousand, a 7% difference) In Manchester Ward 10 Clinton lost 10 votes (of out about a 900) Anyways in total of all precients in which she gained votes she gained 163 votes (this is just one county in the state) In total of all precient in which she lost votes she lost 103. Leading to a net change of 59 votes.
I'm not a physicist either, though I have heard we have detected gravity waves from two pulsar systems (where you have two giant masses orbiting each other creating very clear changes in gravity) as well as some theoretical black holes orbiting each other, of course proving that the black holes are there in the first place may be tricky:)
Good idea, another interesting idea on top of that would be to make it truly porportional (hu you ask?) Well only about 55 million out of 300 million people are registered republican. That means republicans should get 18% of the senate, approximately the same with the democrats. 1/3 of the senate would represent people under 18 then, that would be truely interesting.
Of course how do you elect people to represent people who aren't voting, I'm not sure honestly, but if it would be possible it would truly shake up the political world.
I think we should goto a group representative democracy. Many other countries have this, essentially if your political party has 10% support they get 10% of the representation. Geographic representation is pretty pointless in this interconnected world, though with our representative system we should probably do it per state, which would put the small states at a disadvantage as only a few of its political parties could be represented in congress (with only 3 representatives) versus larger states which could have smaller splits.
You also need to factor in the public safety benefit of it working even if the electricity is out. A whole city that stays lit up during a disaster could be very beneficial.
Percentage? What percentage of the population actually has a boat or other recreational vehicle to pull? The people who do often have a second car just for pulling these. This is a commuting vehicle only, 90% of Americans use their cars for people and small object transportation only. Now they do need to work on a 4+ passenger version of this as that is a necessity of many Americans.
Exactly, there may be people who are comfortable commuting 100 miles or more once a week or whatever was the normal reporting duration. But you switch that to every single day and things change drastically.
Thats what AT&T WANTS. AT&T can't reasonably afford to lay off 10K workers. Thats very expensive. They know that many of their telecommuting workers have built their lives around telecommuting, meaning they just simply can't start going to work. Many of them might not even have reliable transportation. AT&T knows that of the 12K workers they are telling to come back to work possibly half may just quit. AT&T would love this.
No I'm pretty sure with this one the FCC clearly stated is one nation wide license for the entire country. Most regional license for few a few million. We are talking 4.6 billion here.
He means that they were willing to give up their life to fight for the right to vote. And frankly if I had to fight to the death for the right to vote I wouldn't want people who didn't fight or really didn't care voting..:)
Of course then there is always the problem of there is always a limited quantity of physical resources, ie energy, metals, plastics etc. How do you ration out this supply, do you just give people some form of ration credit or do you expect them to work in order to earn credits (ie money). If there are no credits at all people WILL take more than they need.
Believe it or not, many people use the server version as a desktop OS. Usually this is people with too much money who want as many toys as possible in setting up their home network... seriously...
I think the simple fact that the court can't issue a blanket warrant covers this fairly well. The constitutional protection essentially means they can't go house to house looking for stuff. How flimsy their probable cause is isn't really built into the constitution.
Most of the resource heavy stuff will be done server side I'm sure. The business model of selling that kinda processing power in the other hand I don't completely understand.
Umm yea, kids need to be yelled at occasionally. Yea you don't want an angry teacher. But sure, why not if the kids really deserve it, let em have it..
Actually this has been the situation for a while. If a business is playing the radio loud enough to be heard by customers they have to pay a license fee. I know of quite a few business that have been harrassed about this, most just agree to pay the license or turn off the radio. I'm guessing this cab company either fought or the someone wants to make an example out of them. This could end up being a good thing actually if the court finds for the cab company.
The iPhone price is not subsidized the reason its locked to AT&T is because AT&T had to enhance their network to support it and they demanded a tie in for that.

I thought iTunes let you redownload stuff a second time when you reauthorized a new computer?

Could the interviewees not tell that it was a terrible machine translation? Are you telling me it was all perfect up until that sentence?
Well the preceding sentence stated
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!"
So that didn't help them much..

1 million is tiney tiney. But most importantly is this sets some president. Sure it didn't go to judge but its something.
Those dang kids, hell in my day we actually had to show up to work on time.
