Let's say you live in a small town. You and your neighbors have agreed to each chip in some portion of your income to pay the town doctor to care for you. The system works. Everybody's happy.
Let's say a person with a severe health condition moves to your town. Their condition is so severe, caring for it occupies most of the doctor's time. Because of this new patient, the town must hire another doctor to handle the workload. This costs the townspeople more than they were paying before.
Are the townspeople obligated to include the new guy in their health care plan? If so, why? What possible reason could they have for sacrificing more of their income to cover the cost of this one person's care?
Exactly. I feel that the Libertarian's party's extreme plans are great, I just don't think they should be rushed through. People will need time to adapt to the new social and economic climate.
you're a self-described constitutional scholar. is there anything in the constitution that you feel should be changed? removed? is there anything missing?
I fully support the Libertarian platform and ideals and I have every intention of voting for you in November. My only beef with the libertarian approach is timing. You've stated that in your first couple months of holding office you'll eliminate the federal reserve, kick the U.N. out of the country, and bring as many of our troops home as possible, among other radical (but good) changes. My question is this: how do you plan to handle the societal impact of these changes? Eliminating the federal reserve is not something I'd expect to go over lightly in the financial markets, for example. Much of the Libertarian platform is a severe departure from the current state of the nation -- I feel that society would need time to adapt to these changes.

What the christian community urgently needs is a development company to emerge which can balance both the needs of the gospel, and the needs of the game playing experience.

They may as well start releasing all movies direct to DVD now. You can easily put together a nice home theater for under two grand these days and the cost is continuing to drop. If all future films go digital, theaters won't have any reason to exist anymore.
Ten years later, it is no exaggeration to say this issue has been dealt with thoroughly.
No it hasn't. Linux documentation still sucks. Most of the stuff on LDP is outdated or irrelevant, and there's no cohesive guide to dealing with a system because any linux installation is made up of a ton of little parts from different projects that keep changing.
1) community != business support. redhat is very much looking into the enterprise market, and you can't do that without dedicated technical support to back you up.
2) again with the business world. no IT staffer is going to waste her or his time configuring and building gentoo on hordes different machines when you can get a base redhat installations in place and mindlessly keep it up to date with red-carpet or something similar.
the article says nothing about the MB to GB. I think what these idiots are complaining about is the lost disk space due to filesystem metadata. either way, they're bound to lose.
Stable enough, though pretty haphazardly put together, even for a beta release. The distro is missing stuff like postgresql's server and pine. You can build these from source rpms or download them from up2date, but they're not available as binary rpms anywhere on redhat's ftp. Other than that, it seems to be pretty solid on my dual opterons.
The point of these displays (as stated in the article) is to create a one-page newspaper. They can currently roll it up pretty well, but it can't be folded. What I want to know is why you would fold it.
If it's a one-page newspaper, you've only got one page. It can be the size of an 8.5x11 piece of paper. It's an entirely different presentation medium and they're still thinking in terms of traditional papers. The biggest failure of the traditional newspaper (as an interface) is that you have to do all the folding and whatnot. Most papers can't be held with one hand without folding them up a bit. It's a hassle, plain and simple.
If you've got one sheet of electronic paper, of a reasonable size, you can hold it in one hand and just read it.
I can see how folding would be useful for storing the paper, but I don't see that as a critical issue.

he never has any serious opponents for the office and last election's turnout was less than 10%. he'll probably be mayor for the rest of his life.
Maybe they'll name this one the Beagle III. I hope the residents enjoy disappearing into the Martian wasteland.
at least we're being honest here

i just tried this with some porn and it worked pretty well.

i seriously love you.
I can't remember the last time I used mine. Is this a solution in search of a problem or do people actually use their histories?

I don't drink Pepsi and I don't like any of those artists.
Win-win situation for me!
If memory serves me correctly, the BBC did start out as a regular media player before it become the government-funded service it is today.

Your post is completely and utterly worthless. Mine is of similar caliber.
We only have so many trees to go around.
don't fix it. For fuck's sake, did you read your own submission?
I know what I'm missing out on, in the free software world.
Followed immediately by:
I've wasted a *lot* of time and effort trying to implement some very simple stuff with free (and better) alternatives
Yeah you're missing out on the struggle and pain of hacking together ad-hoc solutions to an already-solved problem.
Way to go, buddy.
wear gloves. then you can assault all the women you want!
