Basically pornography is defined by comunity standards, so what porn in the bible-belt is different than what's porn in California. The law COPA says you have to protect minors from porn. the legal thing is basicaly the law is unconstitional because if some erotica is legal in california, and not in tennesee people are not being equally protected under the law. why they want sample searches and websites eludes me, it seems they either want to incriminate search engines, or try and say the problem is so pervasive the constition doesn't matter. If it's the later then they'll be shot down in the courts but can say they tried, to satify the extremist in the country without actually doing anything.
I really can't understand why such a request is legal, because I can't understand why such a request was made. Why was it made to Google? Want a million random website, it seems to me that nmap would build a list of open port 80's, randomly select a million and feed them to wget. The headers would probably be as reliable as anything for finding porn, just grep for XXX and SEXXXX; porn site want to be found! Real porn merchants don't want minors anyways, they don't have credit cards that they can legally use.
To establish weather a law is constitional, weather it is needed is irrelevent, so why ask for a million random searches? Seems like they are trying to implicate the search engines as distributers rather than trying to or not trying to protect minors from porn. I personaly suspect that stopping spam would protect more kids from porn than closing 10,000 porn websites.
I believe it's illegal to *require* an SSN, but I also believe that many orgs have the option of refusing service for any reason except things like race, sex, national origin, so if you don't provide the optional info, they don't provide the optional service.
It's resonable to expect that a lab that your hosp already has HIPPA agreements with would protect data that was received by accident to the same standard as data they were supposed to receive. My dental lab doesn't even care about patient data, we don't need it or really want it. We don't care as in don't need it rather than don't care as in don't protect it if we get it. When I out-source the lab we send to only gets a case number; that get's stolen it's no big deal
1. The wife has been unemployed for 3 years, 2. luckily the $220K house only had a $120K mortgage (which is still killer for us) 3. the step-kids really aren't college types and are pretty much on their own, 4. the car is in good shape, a big gas sucking SUV but paid for, I can and do walk to work. 5. internet is/was a must, at least while the wife was in college and it was actualy $5.00 cheaper to get internet+basic cable than to just get internet. 6 wife still has a cell, I just hate telephones period to easy to get interupted while working. 7. Food how much does raman noodles, rice, canned beed stew, and peanut butter cost? I've finally got my weight down, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Right now I'm closer to being down to my correct weight than I have ever been in my entire life. 8. my retirement plans are to die on the job, but I like my job and really enjoy who I work for.
My secret to happines is to be happy, if a 3 series BMW don't make you happy, why would you imagine a 5 series would? Being thought of as a rich fat-cat type american just made my day almost as much as getting carded at 50 years old!
Most of them would never really get blogs, they are too much control freaks even worse would be installing slash-code! Imagine explaining the/. system to a politician.
I'm retired US Army/National Guard and I've spent a good deal of time trying to cleanup the shit your talking about; maybe if we're lucky my Son will get the job done and my Grand-daughters wouldn't have too. The mentality of "Anybody but an X" has screwed us up in the past and not just us as in the US, but us as in humanity. Doesn't matter if it's American vs. Russian or Capitalist vs. Communist or Christian vs. Muslim; it always leads to a slippery slope that ones who lead us down rarely think about climbing back up.
How about charging the employee from the training and resonable expenses durring training, deferring the re-payment for say 5 years as long as he/she remains employeed by the company and then write-off 20% of the deferred amount every year?
Almost all of these require that the doctor never charge an uninsured patient less than what the insurance company can pay them
Gee Doctor maybe you should get your Laywer (yuck) to look into ways of seperating what a pt. is charged, and how much money is actualy transfered from the pt. to your business; as an example look at auto sale, what a dealer is charged on a car's invoice is far different from what he actually pays.
have you ever had a doctor tell you they don't take your insurance? The word take has no definition (insurance wise), your front office personel should always say either "we accept...", "We partitipate..." or "we'll bill your insurance as a courtesy, but you are responsible..." Our Dental office has reduced our write-off from around 33% of gross production to the area of 12% by dropping some of the insurances we excepted. As an example we accepted 4 different Delta plans, now we dropped all but the top tiered Delta plan, we're still in the network from the dropped plans so we bill at the top rate, no contract prohibitting anymore, and the patient is responsible from the difference. We also put great effort into medical billing, many dental proceedures are also medical proceedure. In dental if we do a biopsy we get $35.00, in medical the same biopsy gets $45.00, a Doctor is a Doctor, and it dosn't count against the patient dental limits when billed through medical ins.
which is why a number of doctors are switching to collecting coinsurance and deductibles up front As a business, you need to have goals, if your goal is to have collections above 90% and they aren't, you'd probably find that the pt. lagging behind in payments, have been high impact in other ways, unreasonable expectations, missed appointment uncooperative ect. we code them HA. Because these head ache patients are more demanding on our resourses, we limit the number of HA pt in a day (they deserve carefull considered treatment and will not get it if we are too stressed out), don't schedule them into prime-time appointment times but the hard to fill times (give more time to fullfill their special needs), and are very strick about no-show appointment fees with them (if they can't be habituated to show up on time, how in the hell are you going to get them to make life-saving life-style changes). It's done wonders Our waiting room used to be filled and everybody seated late, staff sometimes got a 15 minute lunch even with an hour and a half is blocked on the schedule; now the waiting room has one patient waiting because he got there early. Our patients now respect our time because we respect theirs. We can actualy take time to think about what we are doing and create better more efficient ways to accomplish our tasks; and do staff training! For us the bottom line is Gross Production is down 35%, Net Production is down 5%, this year and some of our peers are really hurting. We're running at about 75% capacity instead of 120%, we've got plety of room to grow.
you say cognitive dissonance like it's a bad thing; the politcal process worldwide depends on it! I can't even imagine western culture surviving without it.
I'd guess it due to equalibrium sort of like heating a block of steel to 1200 C, the exposing it to photons from a blackbody source at 1200 C it produces no net effect every photon absorbed stimulates a photn emmision. My question is if gavitons are particles as well as waves, these should unify which strong, weak, and electromagnetic; and should have equivilent properties. I wonder what the gravitional equivilents to heat and temperature are? Heat and mass should have equivelency; but it seems that matter all has the same "specific gravity" in the specific heat sense else some matter would be more atractive for a given mass than others.
Shouldn't tail gate bicycles anyways; 105 PSI racing slicks + pea gravel on road = punctured radiator or a 4Cm paint chip on the door! I've had people complain that I shot their cars with a gun. There are some guys down under doing some wild stuff with homemade gas turines on bicycle and go-karts. Basicaly they take a turbo-charger from a car and conntect a combustion chamber between the compressor and the exhaust turbine, pump in some pressurized oil, turm on the ignitor, then blow air through it with a leaf blower; when every things up to speed, they turn on the fuel and boogie.
They can now, it's called motor pacing, and doing 70 MPH is achievable by mere mortals in good shape the world record is at least 152.2 Miles per Hour. Riding at 70 MPH without a motor paced bicycle happens a lot in pro events on decents, on a flat it's just shy of the record.
To look good to the parole board 1. High/school completetion or GED backed by some college or trade school while in. 2. AA or NarcAnon, maybe joining a religious group 3. no tickets, they'll set him back about 6 mo.s for a minor, a major will basicaly eliminated his early out. 4. good job record on that prison job paying $0.28 an hour that's a Lot of tickets to get punched in four years
No he'll serve a minimum of four years inside, and to get out early he'll have to agree to the terms of parole which will cover at least the remainder of the six years 1. no computer or internet access 2. his residence is searchable without probable cause 3. he'll have to pay the restition (at least $15,000) and for his weekly appointments with his parole officer. 4 he'll have to pay interest and penalties to the IRS for the income on ttheillicit proceeds he had to surrender. 5. and of course he'll have to maintain a job while on parole and afterwards, probably flipping hamburgers for minimum wage
he's fucked in ways most of us will never understand, just consider the implications of items 3 through 5.
Comcast is in on it they are promoting their own VoIP plan and will probably route vonage/skype packet through the slo-go routers. Comcast and SBC or AT&T or whoever the hell they are this week are having an add war on the cable in my area
There will always be an ISP willing to supply cheap fast bandwidth regardless of what dumber comapnies do. Except that ISP has to get bandwidth from someone, and the bandwidth is basicaly the telcos. Sooner or later it comes from the the telco's because they are the ones that run the backbones for the internet.
just not my area of expertise. Sounds like you don't even now the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, Elements is a hugely stripped down, castrated version of PS designed to be baitware given away with hardware. Photoshop is better than Gimp for certain narrow professional areas, but the differences between Photoshop and Gimp are narrow, where the differences between Elements and either are huge.
Part of the problem is Linux users tend more to be trained and Windows users tend more to be habituated; it's much easier for a Linux users to jump on a windows box and be productive than vica versa. I find it interesting the amount of re-training a bussiness has to do with new versions of Windows/Office thinking it is cheaper then the same amount of train to convert employees to Linux.
My son recently went to the Army's Linux training and asked me why Linux had so many options on the commands, I told him that the command options for linux and windows were pretty much the same for the same commands except windows uses a slash instead of a dash, he said "what command options are there in windows?"! I hope he never runs into a serious problem that can't be solved with a GUI.
Actualy they do, there is a lot more air up there than most people realise, and air means air resistance, which means things slow down. When things slow down they drop and there is more air. This vicious cycle means satelite need a periodic boost to maintain altitude else evential they re-enter. Also zero-g don't mean zero-gravity, it mean in free-fall.

the legal thing is basicaly the law is unconstitional because if some erotica is legal in california, and not in tennesee people are not being equally protected under the law.
