The uninsured may pay less. Obviously the hospital can still operate when the full billed price is negotiated way down (I see this regularly on the statements from my insurance company). The hospital bills high rates because they know it'll get negotiated down, but it'll still be higher than their actual costs. They know the insurance company will pay most of the time anyway.
IOW, they bill ridiculously high rates because they can get away with it.
iPhone has an app, as does Android. I'd be surprised if there weren't ones for Windows Mobile & Blackberry. That covers the overwhelming majority of smartphones in the US.
When my car's key is in the OFF position, the steering column locks after a few degrees of turning. Every car I've owned does this. Which is decidedly worse than having no power steering.
Maybe it only does it when parked - but I'm not particularly interested in testing it with my own life.
Unless you count MS's development tools; the online help there is excellent. Forget the order of the parameters for REPLACE() in SQL? F1 takes you right there.
And it has nothing to do with how Toyota initially tried to minimize, cover up and/or lie about the scope of the problems before coming out and finally admitting that something was wrong? That's what bothers me the most - not that it's happened, but the cover-up afterwards.
It's kind of like baseball & PEDs earlier this decade. Players who came clean & admitted to using PEDs right away were relatively unscathed. Those who denied using them or avoided the question completely, only to be found out later, were (and continue to be) vilified.
So anyone who starts from a stop on a steep incline by slowly depressing the brake while simultaneously pressing the gas to avoid rolling back into the vehicle behind them will now stall their vehicle?
I've only ever heard of this with a manual transmission, which none of the cars being recalled is (AFAIK).
For that matter, I never worried about it with a 5-speed either. Rather than sit on the brake, I'd let the clutch slip a bit while making that transition.
Many cars made in the past decade or so with automatic transmissions have a "hill holder" feature where, once you come to a complete stop, the car will not roll backwards. I have a 2010 Subaru which goes even further - I can engage a secondary "holder" which will automatically engage the parking brake on a steep enough hill, and the brake automatically releases when you press the accelerator.
Those that don't have these features still won't stall - the torque converter takes up the slack, which your clutch will not do.
As anybody living in Canada knows, it doesn't snow on cold winter days. It snows on the warmer winter days. I've never witness snow at les than minus 7 or 10 Celcius. Most of the time, it's not far from the freezing point that you get your really heavy snowfalls. So, I do tend to agree, that lots of snow in no way contradicts global warming.
IME, -12C seems to be about the breaking point for snow in NY. It'll vary some, of course. Best part of cold-weather snow? It's very dry & fluffy, very easy to shovel.
For those of us on the other side of the border, the longer the surfaces of the Great Lakes stay ice-free, the more snow we get from lake-effect. Buffalo has a reputation for getting buried with snow, but it actually gets less snow than Rochester or Syracuse. Once the east half of Lake Erie freezes (Lake Ontario doesn't freeze to the extent Erie does), the snow machine for Buffalo shuts down (usually by mid-January).
So yes, if the overall temperature stays a little higher, western & central NY get hammered with snow.
The only way it would be able to happen is with a (possibly multiple) decade long "dual usage"
It was tried 30 years ago and some small-scale attempts are still in progress. The problem is that it's all small-scale so it won't really make inroads.
What framework an application uses is an implementation detail.
What framework an application uses is usually obvious from the application's appearance, behavior and interaction with the rest of the system.
The Windows world doesn't advertise an app as being ".net!" because it doesn't freakin' matter...
Every Windows app advertises whether it's.NET or not. Right in the system requirements and installer - "Requires.NET Framework X.Y" and the installer makes it very obvious that when the right version isn't present, it's going to be installed.
.net apps are the same as Win32 apps.
No they aren't. There are a lot of visual cues which will hint at whether an app is.NET or regular Win32, and they do feel different when they're running.
The OP didn't say he "already understood" the class. Rather, he read the material in the textbook before the lecture, and took notes only to fill in what he didn't pick up from the book (or to reinforce things he was sketchy on).
To get the job my wife presently has, she had to get a Master's degree. The cost of getting the Master's degree was so high that she was barely able to make rent and a car payment on the salary she got due to the loan payments.
With such high education bills to pay off, people will delay home ownership, retirement saving, and everything else - just to make ends meet for 20 years while they're paying back their college loans.
I don't think it's so much how observant the parents are as it is how competent the parents are at reading, spelling & math themselves. I've worked with a lot of people who are parents and seemingly well-educated, but lack grammar & spelling skills.
Slashdot Mirror
Because ABC has an exclusive contract with the Academy for all broadcast rights, etc.?
No, it's a good thing! If one company patents it, no one else will be able to do it for 20 years without spending a shit-ton of money!

Except Windows usually causes leaks, instead of protecting against them.

So you want to ask the wolf to install cameras to make sure he's not raiding the henhouse?
The consultant needs to be selected by NHSTA. And paid for by Toyota.
No, they're resisting because they'll lose money.
You forget how insanely overprotective the IOC is of the word "Olympic" and any words or phrases to reference the games.

Southwest only has Coach class.

The question was about desktops, not servers.
Adobe's whole suite and MS Office (don't tell me OpenOffice is good enough, I've had it mangle the styles used in several Word documents).

They probably could build a good, lean, fast browser if they didn't have to support legacy bullshit.
And science returned the favor.

It's really too bad that "who dat" has its origins many years prior to the NFL coming to New Orleans.
