That is literally what it is saying, in English you can put the words in either order. A 'birth certificate' is 'certificate of birth'. Anyone who argues otherwise is simply too dumb to be allowed to comment politically, and probably should be in some sort of home for the mentally incompetent.
That's not what people were saying. They were demanding a Certificate of Live Birth, not a Certification of Live Birth. Those are two different things. Both are valid 'birth certificates' according to Hawaiian law, but they have different information.
Presumably Obama's political adversaries thought the Certificate did not exist or that it contained damning information.
I can't tell if you were intending to beat down a strawman or if you really didn't know the difference.
The outlying datapoint I haven't heard explained is why Hawaii's Governor (a Democrat at that), said a few months before the White House release that he had ordered a thorough search of the archives and there was no Certificate.
Take it a step further, and also buy a share in a cooperative that owns the connection between the cabinet and the exchange.
This describes my neighborhood now. It's a lot of overhead and headache. Most local co-ops would probably outsource the maintenance to another business, but the telcos have economies of scale right now. After running this for 7 years, I got DSL installed 2 weeks ago (finally available). However, my co-op network is the default gateway as the telco can't seem to find our why there's noise on the line, so that's not perfect either.
This doesn't sound a whole lot different than CDs or DVDs burned in factories. Those don't use a dye layer either, but pits etched into an (aluminum?) substrate
But of course, it's never been proven, because no single piece of this media has been around for 300 years.
It doesn't matter - I have some of these that have bad data sectors after 14 years. They were sold as archival medical-grade, and cost something like $15 a piece.
In this case with the NCSA thing, it's a typical situation where budgets have no room for the fudge factor because the organization has a price-driven selection process, which is wrong.
As in they don't have an infinite slush fund to tap into? That would be most organizations.
You'd think by now IBM would know how to develop a specification, price it, and honor the contract price. I have to and I've only been in business 7 years. Yeah, once in a while I take a haircut, but that's called honoring your contracts.
This is the tech that will make massively distributed cloud computing possible. I did a startup about 5 years ago that involved home computing devices that were paid for by the distributed computing that ran on them. Among the things that made it unsuccessful was that we knew we needed this kind of technology but didn't have the resources to develop it.
Microsoft and others have previously proposed domestic heating with distributed computing, and once this kind of data protection becomes possible it will be a really enticing option. The computing user will submit jobs to a broker, who will distribute the jobs to the 'cloud'. The data will be crunched on these distributed units, and then returned to the broker, and to the user (sufficient mapping rules can cut out the middle man of the data transfer, just signed control packets need to run that way).
Probably you'll have the option to get a free hot water heater (provided by the computing company) and your electric bill to run it will be lower than your current domestic hot water heater. You save money, the user saves money, the middle man makes money, the planet is warmed less. We need IPv6 and FTTH to make it very feasible, but those things should show up this decade.
The fact that you find it difficult to believe is part of the reason that the rest of the world regards you as insanely greedy and wasteful.
Since you've called us 'insanely greedy and wasteful', I'd appreciate a response to my sibling response about your consumption patterns, to see if you're being forthright and conscientious or deceitful and self-righteous.
I'll assume until then that you're single, have your heat and water provided by a source not counted in the bill, buy much of your food out, do your laundry out, etc.
To re-iterate, if that's not true, I really want to learn from your success.
this. The cons outweigh the pros. Until I get some kind of guarantee that nothing I ever do on google+ hurts my other google services (blog, email, YouTube ad revenue, adsense, google voice, etc) I will not join google+. If Facebook bans me oh well, I don't lose half the Internet along with it. Google+ is just too big of a risk.
Listen to Hassi, Google - the self-inflicted hole shot in the foot is turning gangrenous.
Hrm, I know many businesses have been metered this way for 30-ish years. I guess the residential differential could be different enough to make the market viable.
Do you know that the metamod doesn't really feed back into the mod? I figured they just simplified the Fair, Unfair bits by seeing if you modded the same way that the mod did.
Did you ever look at a comment before and after metamod to see if the score changed?
Why do so many people in finance continue to insist on growth?
We should be focusing on steady state sustainability.
There are some Ponzi-scheme aspects to Wall Street 'growth' which depend on ever-increasing numbers, but, fundamentally, you care about long-term stability and they care about short-term gains.
It sucks so bad... We now have the 18mbps (upgraded from 6 to 12, and now to 18) plan and I haven't gotten over 6mbps since upgrading. It is actually slower now than it was with the 6mbps plan.
If you're paying more for less, you're their dream customer. Why don't you switch back?
I'd like to be that efficient, but I'm not. I've got almost all CFL's and the top-rated refrigerator. What do you do for:
Heat (any circulator pumps?) Air conditioning? Computers (no desktops?) Cooking - we use propane stove/oven with electric controls. Electric toaster/blender/coffee pot/microwave. Washing machine (we got the highest-efficiency model available in the size we need) Clothes dryer (ours is electric, the next will be propane) Television? Power tools? Stereo system? Pets (fish tank, etc?) Well pump?
Also, how big is your family?
I can definitely see, by typing this out, how an absolute bill could be reduced to your levels by outsourcing much of the consumption (and consolidating/eliminating toys), but if you're internalizing all that at your rates, for a family, there are solar (off-grid) folks here who will pay top-dollar for your book.:)
My local utility charges almost double for power during the day. I don't think it would take that long to offset the price of the batteries.
I'm gonna go with the lack of a market here and say, "no, it would be too expensive." Happy to be proven wrong, but it's not the most brilliant idea (no offense, just not Tesla-level cleverness), so we'd have to assume people have looked into it before and dismissed it as feasible.
That is ridiculous. It is impossible to molest anyone on Facebook. The classroom, however, provides an excellent venue to play out the crime. If teachers cannot be trusted, it seems Facebook (or other online service) should be the only place students and teachers interact.
Hey, now, it's all well and good to give your students good grades for 'favors' after school, but if there's talk about it on Facebook - well, then people might start to get suspicious and that would threaten the whole system, now wouldn't it?
There's nothing to suggest that this couldn't be natural or human-made at this point, so that should be the null hypothesis. This chart helps explain that if a human can recreate a UFO sighting, then that's probably the case.
Despite being a respectable professional geek now, I have in the past been both a store clerk (on a couple of occasions) and worked in a dishroom. I'm pretty sure my IQ has been the same the entire time.
I've flipped hamburgers and delivered newspapers too, but it's not my chosen career. There are certainly some dishwashing philosophers, but that's not the majority. Do you mean to say that you had previously chosen those jobs as careers and later changed your mind?
It's like people who complain about the clerk at McDonald's who can't make change - that's a sign of a healthy economy. When a fellow with an accounting degree is doing that job we're in a heap of trouble. But ordinarily they aren't.
Being fanatical can cloud your objectivity. Can you explain how Samsung is ripping off Apple more than Apple ripped off RIM (Blackberry) or Palm (Treo)?
Do you mean the jiggly-slidey dialogs like Web 2.0 sites were using at the time? Or just that Apple decided to make a tablet, like fans on MacOSRumors.com had been talking about for a decade?
It can't be the on-screen keyboard, or the online app store, those already existed. Just what unique features did the iPhones have that defined a new market? Nobody will deny Apple is good at integration work, but you're talking about defining a new market, not making incremental improvements.
I do give Apple credit for negotiating with AT&T to enable the visual voicemail feature on cell networks, the way corporate voicemail users were used to working. That was a very good business maneuver.

The government is a cooperative.
That's the sales pitch, but violent mandates aren't really cooperation.
I do have a network cooperative in my neighborhood and nobody uses guns to make it happen.
Take it a step further, and also buy a share in a cooperative that owns the connection between the cabinet and the exchange.

Not burned or etched, but stamped. Much faster.

you got PAID to do it.

Well, that seems senseless, then!

Seems somewhat wrong that paying customers get left in the lurch as often as we do.
Complain when the product is released to the general public and Apps users are still unable to use it. I'll bet that doesn't happen.
It's a chair. In the sky.

Oh, bummer. Assuming you're sharing with other tenants, you've made sure they're not gumming up the works?
This law is idiotic... but that's not surprising.
An AC declaring a law idiotic when what he's ranting about isn't in the law. Now, that's not surprising!

I take your meaning, but it's supposed to be specific inventions, not product areas. Not that I'm naive enough to believe the 1787 rationale, though.
Yes, I'm obviously an Apple fan
