The problem is, the US has tons of sensors all across the US. Many have been in place for extremely long durations. That sounds great until you discover that almost no one validates the location and integrity of the sensor yet continue to blindly accept the data on which all of this research depends. Worse, independent volunteers who do go validate these sensors are horrified at what they find. And yes, they do document their findings with diagrams and pictures. Again, hopefully someone will provide the link to which I refer.
The warming that matters is in the ocean, not the atmosphere.
I've read about zune pass and would sign up in an instant if I didn't have to buy a dedicated music device. My music device is my Windows Mobile phone (Touch Pro 2), and for some reason, Microsoft doesn't offer zune pass software for Windows Mobile.
WinMo users don't really have much of a choice (there is an Amazon music app for WinMo, but it offers no subscription service) in music apps, so offering zune pass to Windows Mobile users would instantly make them the only game in town. Yet, they don't. They've said they will offer zune-pass to WP7 users, but I don't get why they don't offer it to WinMo 6.x users until WP7 ships. It's as if they are trying to get as people as possible to switch to Android before WP7 ships.
Any geek worth it's salt is either dual-booting or exclusively Linux
I disagree. Any geek worth his salt should be competent in Linux/UNIX, but not necessarily prefer it as a desktop OS. I'm very familiar and comfortable with UNIX and Linux; it's welcomed in my server room any time, but I find it to be an absolutely horrible desktop operating system. If I wanted a friendly desktop version of UNIX, I would just buy a Mac and be done with it.
On campusses across the world students are chosing Apple machines with Mac OS X over comparable or even cheaper Windows models
But has the number that are choosing it growing over time?
It's not about RDF. It's about knowing how modern operating systems work.
I've never owned a Mac and can count the minutes I've used OSX on one hand, but know that OSX utilizes protected memory, which means that applications generally cannot take the operating system down when they crash. If Flash actually was crashing the entire operating system, the press would talk endlessly about it until Apple fixed it as it would indicate a major flaw in the OSX kernel.
I might be taking a road trip from California to New York this summer to see my dad, and was wondering how my T-Mobile service would be. I have an unlocked Touch Pro 2, and was considering getting an At&T SIM for the trip.
Worker processes in IIS have impersonation rights, via the "NetworkService" account, so this could be an issue if an vulnerability in IIS or a widely used third party product (like PHP maybe?) on IIS is exploited.
If underemployment benefits were stronger than unemployment benefits (meaning you could earn more by taking a low wage job and collecting benefits than by taking no job and collecting benefits
for something to be a right, someone has to give up their right to do with themselves as they wish.
Yes. People get together and decide on a set of rules to follow. They decide what things people have a right to, and what things people don't have a right to. If rules aren't working out, they change them. Wash, rinse, repeat....
I have private insurance coverage for cases of such magnitude.
Which, if not for heavy regulation would have caps and/or gaps on coverage which would leave you high and dry in certain scenarios. That's the nature of the free market. It's brutally efficient; so brutally efficient that collectively, societies choose to trade a certain amount of efficiency in the market to tame that brutality.
Although, if you were to argue that Paine held ideas that, in others, Glenn Beck has expressly labelled as "socialist", that would probably be an easier case to make than that Paine was a socialist.
That might have been a better way of me to state my point given the socialism=communism mantra of that the right has been pounding into the psyche of Americans for the last century, but for me, the terms "socialist" and "socialism" don't mean what they mean to the right.
Which still didn't offset the tax cuts he have to the upper income brackets. What Reagan did was criminal. He took part of the tax burden away from the wealthy and when, due to those tax cuts, the government was on the brink of going broke two years later, he handed the burden to the middle and lower middle classes in the form of increased payroll and gasoline taxes.
Reagan can rot in hell, and anyone who thinks Obama's economic policies are even close to what Reagan's were is misinformed.
Nothing at all exists in this world that is not subject to the simple rules of thermodynamics, and economics is fundamentally the same thing.
That's just stupid. The only time in which your analogy could be even close to accurate is in a situation where there absolutely zero interference in the marketplace by the government. This would mean no official paper currency, no bank regulations, no consumer protections, no anti-trust laws, no zoning laws, etc.
In the modern world, our economic systems are artificial constructs, which are designed by people; not by nature. If we are going to enjoy the benefits of having a modern marketplace, then we need to take responsibility for fixing the problems that exist with it. Your belief that ignoring problems in a modern marketplace will lead the marketplace fixing itself is akin to believing that ignoring problems in a house will lead to the house fixing itself. In the case of both house and economic system, negligence will only lead to deterioration and eventually collapse.
in Germany right now, the system is dual - there is public health insurance and there is private insurance.
Which is *EXTREMELY* regulated.
I am paying for my problems out of pocket and that's the way I prefer it.
And when someone t-bones you at an intersection and you require $200,000 in care to nurse you back to health, you won't be able to pay for it and the government will have to pick up the tab, because unlike you, society has made the decision that health care should be a right.
What exactly is Glenn Beck informed about? Pretty much all of his rants illustrate his misunderstanding of both current and past affairs.
For example, two of Glenn Beck's purported heroes are Thomas Paine and Martin Luther King Jr. Both of those men were hard-core socialists, and advocated radical (for their time) socialist agendas, of which Beck spends 99% of his time railing against.
I've had this happen one or two times with my Touch Pro 2 (Windows Mobile). If it's happening with many different makes of phones, I wonder if it could be a bug in the code running on the towers.
On my old Blackberry Pearl, when you locked the phone there was an option to dial 911 on the lock screen. This made it extremely easy to accidentally dial 911. Thankfully you could put the phone in standby mode instead of locking it.
A couple of years ago, a friend of mine bought a 3000GT which needed some work and fixed it up. He paid about 8K. That car is a beast. With the all wheel drive, you can pop it straight into 2nd, drop the clutch and be at 60 in 4 seconds. No doubt that's terrible on the transition, but it's quite the ride.
Personally, my dream car for when I'm older is the Acura/Honda NSX - as I read in a review, '...a Ferrari, but engineered by people who went to college.'
So because not all preventive care doesn't save money in the long run, we should continue to wait for people to get so sick that they have to go to the emergency room?

Here's one for you:
Ad hominem: You'd have to be either a moron or a delusional fanboy to think that Jobs meant that the entire operating system crashes because of flash.
Thanks for the anecdote.

That's an interesting argument.
Do "underemployment" benefits even exist?
Someone will find a way around this very quickly
Not necessarily. The European version of the original Droid has the exact same bootloader and no-one has been able to crack it yet.

I smell cover-up, karma whoring techniques.

You'll have to do better than that.

Brilliant.
Was that meant to be funny?
