"non-profit" hospitals abound in the U.S, yet they still charge almost the exact same rates as your evil "for-profit" ones. They all use a pricing sheet called the "chargemaster" that they guard zealously.
non-profits still have to pay salaries to retain talent, pay utilities etc etc.
short of being locked up by the state ON THE POTENTIAL of you saying something "illegal", it's simply impossible for anyone to stop you from saying whatever you want wherever you want.
and of course, there could be consequences...but no one, in this case, took away your "freedom of speech"
"The initiative is likely to be controversial, with broadband companies already warning that freedom of speech could be compromised."
freedom of speech is a total fiction anyway...there is a plethora of restrictions on free speech, not the least being having to be careful of what you say in social settings as to not alienate yourself from whatever group your are trying to gain favor in.
...and once it gets (and its inevitable people) linked to a 1. worldwide child porn ring 2. high-viability murder-for-hire 3. terrorist act that kills many citizens in some random country or 4. large scale drug operations, it will be legislated away with the blessings of the state-run media, the banking system, and the average person in the street as something exotic and hard-to-understand-and-therefore dangerous.
so play in the sandbox while you can, its not going to be around for long....and for you people who say nothing can stop it? lol wait til they make it a 3rd degree felony to have a wallet on your harddrive.
hmm...i seemed to have missed where it says Raytheon (or any other security-interested contractor) is expecting to hire trained, degreed IT security consultants for "$12/hour".
oh...yeah...because it doesn't and they don't.
And, yes, unfortunately for many of the "well I'm a clever chap, got a book on Python and NoSql and downloaded a nifty web FOSS project and now I'm a web developer" types, this level of tech knowledge just isn't what large corps. are looking for.
They have been burned too many times by hiring tech people who quickly bump their heads against much deeper levels of abstraction they what silly web pages offer.
And then there is time dilation, which makes it all work out.
bingo! we have a winner. you *did* know that I already knew the answer, didn't you??
...and that's where TFA gets interesting...if time is just an artifact of quantum entanglement and these experiments can explain 1. why QE seems to be the only phenomenon where photons act on each other faster then the speed of light and 2. why the speed of light is the only universal constant, they could very well have discovered something very significant.
...how this is related to the fact that the speed of light is the only true (known) constant in the universe.
for example...you are on a train going 50 km/hr north...you throw a ball 30 km/hr north and the ball is now going 30 km/hr north relative to you and 80 km/hr to a stationary observer...standard stuff.
BUT...you are on a light beam going 0.5c (half the speed of light) with a flashlight in your hand...you turn on the light...how fast is that light coming out of your flashlight going relative to you and our stationary observer?
well...relative to you its going...the speed of light...to the observer?
this is where it all gets weird...to the observer its going..the speed of light!
i, for one, am happy to know that our future astronauts will be able to stream Game of Thrones and porn from their moonbase without having to wait too long.
I miss mine...he passed away about 8 years ago and I went through the exact same IT-thing with him.
I realize now that he did that stuff on purpose because it was a way for us to connect and spend time together.
Not that you need to hear it from some random stranger, but you need to hear it from a random stranger...enjoy every minute with Dad he won't be around forever.

"No wonder MD Anderson’s operating profit in 2010 was $531 million on revenues of $2.05 billion. That’s a 26-percent profit margin, unheard of in any service industry other than hospitals. Being a “non-profit” organization, it pays no income taxes." http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2013/08/01/why-non-profit-hospitals-are-so-profitable/
the "non-profit" tag is pretty much nothing but a "feel-good" marketing gimmick to assuage socialistic-types.
yeah maybe you won't.
why, in heaven's name, would ANYONE believe this nonsense after all the lying that these corps. and agencies have been stuffing up our butts?
talk about astroturf on a grand scale...more like astroturd.
i was going to mod you up...that is until you involved Wang-Fucking-Chung in this.
according to the u.s. constitution, Congress allocates spending.
just fyi...and also I would like to know where in my comment I specifically blamed any one political party for the national debt?
really LOL??
since when is cost a consideration for a government that is already $17trillion dollars in debt?
well, then, you seem to contradict yourself.
short of being locked up by the state ON THE POTENTIAL of you saying something "illegal", it's simply impossible for anyone to stop you from saying whatever you want wherever you want.
and of course, there could be consequences...but no one, in this case, took away your "freedom of speech"
so what is your point again??

just because QEx hasn't yet caused a big inflationary event, certainly is not proof it won't happen tomorrow, or the next day, or the next...
oh yes..lol.."it's different this time"...just like the dot bomb bust, and the real estate bust. and blah blah blah..

hell it made it father then i would have over that crap...bravo Darpabot!
I, for one, welc...oh shit that's right.
nevermind.
...but I just don't think the world needs another gaming platform, and definitely not one whose second life is a friggin controller.
now, if they could figure out how to get really cool games to work on, say, a mobile phone that's always in my pocket?
yeah, that would be cool.
" Can't someone make a hack to permanently store the data?"
yeah...its called using the screenshot function of your phone to capture the pic while its there.
nail meet hammer.
i agree totally...and the irony is that the vast majority of users want MORE of this sort of thing on FB, not less!
its for the children for god's sake!
..I went 145 on I95 for about 10 minutes just south of Jacksonville Fl in a 1993 Toyota Maxima years ago...this is news?

my 1cent.
...im just gonna send images of all my hard drives and net logs to the NSA and be done with this nonsense already.
fuck...how many ways are we being spied on and our information leaked until sensible people just throw up their hands and say "enough already!"???

its a good day.
ahhh....Dads...gotta love them :)
