Because you do not have a car is fine, but if you do in many states your car gets towed and you go to jail for having no insurance.
On a long enough time scale you WILL use the health care system. I can guarantee someone will call 911, an ambulance will roll, you will be picked up even if you're found dead at the scene most times. Your estate will handle the billing. So just think about leaving anything for your family when you die, because your debt is #1 for collecting money from your estate after your dead, maybe #2 if you're taxed, your family comes last.
>Anyway I hold to Jefferson and Madison's opinion that the US was meant to have a FEW enumerated powers, while most of the powers remained with the Member States. Just like the modern EU.
The modern EU is ran by Liberals, have better health care than any one of our states. The right wing in the EU is usually more left than our left wing.
I do not see you harping about having to buy auto insurance, it's cheap, you can get it from any provider. Nobody's telling you that you have to buy microsoft car insurance for your GM car only, you get what you want where you want it. The same goes for health care, get it from who you want, but you have to have it. What's the difference?
The difference is that YOU CAN GO TO JAIL if you do not buy auto insurance.
We'll if your kid has lukemia and you did not have insurance or coverage against cancer, then you can pick up said coverage and not be denied for a pre existing condition.
Also no limit on how much the insurance company can pay before you reach a lifetime maximum. Some insurers had it as low as a million dollars.
I do not care who you are, you will eventually get sick and require expert medical treatment. Would you rather suffer and possibly die, lose your mobility etc, or would you rather not have insurance and then go bankrupt when you do get sick and get slammed with a 400k bill? I'd rather pay 1200 a year and know that I'm not going to ruin my credit because I get sick. I'm sure as hell positive that I can not sue the cheap bastards who come to work sick spreading the flu, so 1200 a year it is.
All this whining and crying about the government telling you what to do is complete bullshit. Your parents told you what to do, your boss tells you what to do, that speed limit sign tells you what to do, that red light tells you what to do. Face it, there are things as responsible adults you should be doing, there's some misguided belief that liberals are a bunch of fat, lazy, welfare recipients, when there's probably a fair share of fat lazy welfare receiving republicans out there as well. Everyone that disagrees with the republicans is immediately labeled a liberal, and I bet 75% of republicans could not tell you what a liberal is.
I'm sure they sing a different tune sitting outside the ER if they were ever refused for not having insurance. Funny how one's perspective changes once they're faced with death. Perhaps they realize they're going to see their maker and maybe, just maybe they've not lived accordingly.
Nvidia and ATI have had this technology out for quite awhile. How on earth did Microsoft nab a patent on this. Oh wait that's right, they use blind moles to read and approve patents.
First you will have to break several laws of physics just to move fast enough. Your first enemy is gravity. So you plot your course and lets say hit light speed. You're now dead, the gravity well of the Sun has just squashed you like a grape only messier. Now imagine a faster than light system that's capable of detecting objects in the path and avoiding/deflecting/destroying them, it would have to be faster than you are and vastly more complex.
Better to point antennas at it, and worse if there is any advanced civilization there, they're currently still watching the cold war on TV. I'm sure they can not wait to visit, or worse they're a few years from arriving and wiping us out.
Reading storms of my grandchildren and while regular nuclear reactors produce radioactive waste that lasts thousands of years, 4th generation reactors actually can reuse fuel and the radioactive waste products are only a problem for a few hundred years and produces a fraction of the waste of the older reactors. The US has about 50 trillion dollars worth of radioactive waste that can actually be used as fuel for these reactors which for some stupid reason Clinton canned the project (Smells like Gore). The waste itself is a solid glass material and does not corrode containers etc, and would be much easier to deal with.
If the student is capable of getting the answers right, what difference does it make how it's obtained.
If the issue is that you're worried that the students are pulling answers off the internet then I could agree that you do indeed have an issue.
However, I will provide a different perspective on the problem. As an employer the employee who succeeds is the one who knows how to obtain the information necessary to solve a problem, and use those methods to build their skill levels up. I have seen those who are unable to do this eventually be let go. So aside from the usual arse kissers who seem to proliferate most companies, those who function the best are those who are able to compile a solution from sources built up from years of work. I could care less if it came from Google as long as it's not infringing on anyone's legal rights that could come back to haunt the company.
I honestly think you might be hobbling these young professionals in a sense. Have them show their work at least. Most free solutions to math problems never show the work, you have to shell out hundreds of dollars for that.
[rant]And please for the love of God, let them write it down on paper and scan it, equation editors add hours to large equations. I had a teacher pull that crap on me once on a refresher course. I paid to learn, not learn an equation editor, my writing is legible. I can understand if others are not, but sheesh give someone a chance![/rant]
In addition to Coal, Tar Sands, and Oil Shale, if we burn these up, we will put the earth well on it's way to the "Venus Syndrome".
People in their 30's, their kids kids will surely suffer from this. It's time something was done about it. Getting a gas saving car does nothing but make it cheaper to buy carbon based fuels somewhere else, cap and trade is a complete hoax, it's time to start making renew-ables cheaper and tax usage of carbon based fuels across the board world wide. If we do nothing we may be responsible for killing everything on the planet.
Aside from people who just do not like Apple, why would anyone buy this vs an iPad. All this HDMI hype means nothing when your video has to be your own, and while the iPad does not have this yet it's possible it can in the future. Apple has a lock on app developers and most people can tell that the same apps made for other systems by the same developers are nothing more than enough to silence people crying for that app on that platform, it has just enough features to make it usable, but usually half of what the iOS version does.
Is Apple's lead in consumer tech insurmountable? In some cases yes, nobody is going to topple the iPod but Apple, are there other niche's that could be explored? Yes, but will it be as profitable. Within 10 years I predict that 50+ percent of all media will be in the cloud, as much as I hate DRM, I would swoon over a way to take my 800+ dvd/blu ray collection and have some virtual version of it that I can serve up on any device I'd like. Apple is the company that's about as close as it gets to this version.
Until Apple does something monumentally stupid, they're going to be in the front for a long time.
We've had this issue happen too, thankfully we have an army of lawyers who threatened to bankrupt their upstream providers and called the police on the ISP that was not fixing the issue, it helps when they try announcing IP space that the government uses.
Technically the core is growing, the accumulation of He and the subsequent condensation of mass into a smaller area pulls at the remaining hydrogen speeding up the outer shell. It makes sense that the core would slow down (Skaters arms moving out) while the remaining H is being pulled in (skaters arms pulling in).
It's also curious why nobody mentions in black hole forming star collapses ever mention that in essence the entire mass should be spinning incredibly fast. Those large stars collapse because their Iron cores require more energy than's released, so you have all this liquid/plasma metal spinning incredibly fast around an Iron ball. Tesla would probably be very interested in what was going on there, the power potential generated when it fails to form a black hole is obvious.
Anyone who's flown probably wishes they could ride on a high speed train where you might actually have legroom, and pleasant people servicing the passengers. The problem is that once you're off the train you typically encounter zero public transportation.
I've been to South Korea and lived there for some time and traveled around that country. They have it right, subways/trains get you to the towns you want to go, and the buses and taxi's are plentiful and cheap.
You're wrong on several counts, within 2-3 years your ISP will most likely switch you to IPv6. Can you turn it off in Windows 7 without problems in a word, no. Windows 7 has features that depend on IPv6, OS X probably does as well.
Those who really need to worry about it, is those who do not like using ISP provided routers. Many routers do not support IPv6 unless you're running a custom build on them. Those people should be looking around for IPv6 enabled routers of switch to one that can use custom firmware to do the job.
The other set of people who should be concerned are those running Windows XP since support there is flaky at best.
IPv6 is here folks, my new home printer even supports it out of the box.
I dont care where you work, if you're on site doing training, you're probably also sucked back into the work cycle. I see it all the time at work, I have always preferred offsite training, turn off the cell phones. It also helps if you have to use your laptop on the lab, because 99% of the time it means you can not vpn into work so email is not a concern either.
I think my other Data Center operators would agree were all understaffed, and I work on a network with hundreds of millions of customers using it on a 24/7 cycle. The other danger nobody speaks of is that some companies are too passive when it comes to testing redundancy because half the time while there's redundancy in the system to keep a DMZ up and running, there's no spare DMZ capacity to handle a true outage such as a fiber ring failure that isolates the data center or other disaster. Companies need to design their redundancy so you can unplug the entire data center and your customers never knows it, because if you do not, you will rue the day a true outage happens that impacts the entire datacenter and you will hear about it on the news later. Not a good thing.
I was part of a group of people who were working on the Ubuntu tracker that tracked packages installed, and one that reported the hardware the installation detected. Both of those tools could easily signal active installations just by seeing the updates from the package installer while the second probably would only report on new hardware. While this new package does something different, I'm not convinced that it actually serves a purpose to the end users. I'm no longer part of those discussions anymore, but this only seems to serve the makers of Ubuntu to see if their efforts are being used.
Google bid up 4G Spectrum to force the neutrality rule.
Verizon and AT&T both bid up the other's acquisitions in order to cost them money. Some of it may have been to get what's left of Palm, but I bet the Majority wanted the other to overpay for that patent portfolio.
We'll multiply that by 6 billion people it's probably very costly.
What I want to know, is what the frack can we eat? Is this an issue with industrial cows being fed corn, or is it also a problem with range fed animals and wild fish. I could understand how it's probably impossible to find fish in water that's not polluted to hell and back and I can deal with that, but I need meat and potatoes.

Impractical and Illegal.
First the trackers ala Onstar use the cellular network, and secondly jammers are illegal.
Far easier to disable the system in the car.
That drilling process also destroys water tables and worse. Go watch Gasland on HBO..
It's not worth contaminating our water supplies.
