Good luck with that. In my area ( high income, beach area ) I canceled my ATT connection because, after "upgrading" and being forced to pay for under-grounding our lines, the Internet denigrated to.01Mps.
Overbooking on airlines seems to be a Catch 22 situation. Airlines overbook because a certain percentage of passengers just do not show up and request refunds. ( The refund insurance is usually relatively inexpensive.) Because the Airlines overbook, a certain percentage of passengers make more than one reservation for a flight to avoid being bounced from a flight and having a delay in arriving at their destination. This results in the airlines experiencing a higher rate of empty seats (usually) and therefore they over book at a higher percentage. That being said, there should never, outside of something like a National Emergency, be a reason to kick a paying customer off a plane for a non-paying one. Standby is Standby- if the seats are filled then there are no available seats - seems like logic to me.
I am sorry, that medical procedure will not be covered under your insurance because you have not been taking the medication (that made you sick/create a risk of liver failure or heart attack/the mail-provided medication was lost in delivery) prescribed by your physician.
WOW, Kewel! All they need now is for someone to hack the database and the children's fingerprints become useless for identification for life. Fingerprint scanners can be fooled but changing one's fingerprints is a bit more difficult.
Sounds a lot like a reintroduction of TSN/INN (The Sierra Network. ImagiNation Network - pre-Internet) and CyberPark. With updates for newer technology of course.
It seems simple to me. I do not finish games because - 1. The original game depends upon graphics rather than plot. 2. The sequels are not as good as the original, relying upon repetitive fights or the hope that a poor story line will not be noticed because we remember (fantasize) the original game 3. The game relies upon the participation of on-line gamers. The developers have a poor or undeveloped story line and hope that just providing a base and putting it online will allow the Players to create their own world. Sorry, I don't buy that.
It seems to me that you have this reversed. Like the watched pot that takes forever to boil Time seems to move more slowly as you look forward to things. But, more than that, I suspect the reason time seems to move more slowly for the young is that it is relative. For a 5 year old, a year is one fifth of his entire life. For a 50 year old is is one fiftieth.
Everyone seems to have gone off on, "what happens in the 3rd world countries when someone infected with... shares his cellphone through the village infecting everyone else." What I see is us being encouraged by our government health care to use these phones to do testing rather than seeing a doctor - much less costly. Then, because good technicians are so highly paid, outsourcing the testing/reporting/diagnosing to places like India
We know that change is a constant. We know that land that is repeatedly used for the same purpose deteriorates. We know that the earth goes through seasons. Why do we assume that change is not, in the long run, good?
Historically, we know that there have been periods of warmer and colder weather. Different life forms naturally change and adapt, or disappear. I can not help but wonder if the current change in weather patterns is a necessary part of continued life on earth. Perhaps the attempts to stop change is the real danger?
Does this mean that the catalytic converters on our cars, which produce water vapor and acid, are contributing more to global warming than the unmodified gasoline engines?
Interesting. This drive has been posted over at ESBuy.com for almost 4 weeks. They are doing presale with shipping anticipated the first week of November.
There is the Pioneer DVR-A03 (same as the drive in the Mac version but newer BIOS) and the Panasonic RAMBO LF-D311.
Both are great drives. Software with the Panasonic is more versatile, shipping with VOB's INSTANT CD/DVD+ (UDF, VCD, ARCHIVING,BACKUP) vs. Veritos Primo DVD (Prassi).
Basically the differences in the drives are:
Pioneer: DVD-RW:
records DVD-R (Gen'l purpose), DVD-RW (Gen'l purpose), CD-R and CDRW
US software: Sonic MyDVD for DVD authoring, Veritos (Prassi) Primo DVD for CDR(W) and Cyberlink PowerDVD.
European software: VOB only.
Panasonic: DVD-RAM/DVD-R:
Records DVD-R (Gen'l Purpose) and Rewritable DVD-RAM.
Software: Either Sonic DVDit Standard or NEODVD (Mediostream) DVD authorizing software, VOB Instant CD/DVD+, and Cyberlink PowerDVD.
If you need to record CDs, or make VCDs, then the Pioneer DVR-A03 is the one to get, no question.
If you need system backup, serious video editing, network backup, or if archiving is a priority, then the Panasonic LF-D311 wins. DVD-RAM is a true rewritable media and has built in error correction that DVD-R(W) can't match.
Best prices I've seen are $618 for the DVR-A03 and $534 for the LF-D311 (both with free shipping). http://www.esbuy.com/dvdram2.html
(found a 10 pack of DVD-R media there for $60!)
Both drives are quiet, and are multi-read compliant (exception: The Pioneer does NOT read DVD-RAM)
DAE is surperb for either drive.
I'm using both of them and can't find any bad habits about either. If the Panasonic did CDR it would be perfect (have to wait 'till January, I guess).
I've tried the resulting DVDs made from both the Pioneer and Panasonic machines on Sony (including PS2), Panasonic, Pioneer, and Toshiba DVD home players and all work great with the exception of DVD-RW media, not all players will recognize DVD-RW.
The DVD+RW from HP and Sony probably won't be available on the market for another 2-4 months.
Panasonic will be releasing a "Super Drive" in January that does DVD-R, DVD-RAM and CDR(W).
Pioneer is releasing a table top model in the Fall, the PRV-9000.
It should be noted, if you have a Mac, your only real choice is the Pioneer DVR-A03 with Roxio's Toast Titanium. At this time, only the DVD-RAM side is supported by the MAC (Software Architech SAI DVD-TUNEup has unreleased beta drivers for the DVD-R side).

Just a moment.... "Technology revolution" caused WW I and WW II?

Since when did getting a degree ever guarantee a job? Who makes up these fairy tales?
Is this to slow down the use of robots or to help fund the government and pay pensions?
"Globally, five countries this year set heat records, but none set cold records."
"Jim River, AK closed in on the all time record coldest temperature of -80ÂF set in 1971, which is not only the Alaska all-time record, but the record for the entire United States. Unfortunately, it seems the battery died in the weather station just at the critical moment."

LOS ANGELES -- Southern Californians awoke Thursday to record cold with sub-freezing temperatures in the mountains and deserts, but forecasters said a slight warming trend was on the way.

I can not help but wonder if anyone has considered what the environment was like when Greenland was named.

Has anyone considered the possibility that someone might decide to hack into the system and change history? or change all math texts to a base 12...
And where is there any mention in the article that students would actually print out the textbooks?
