Healthcare is not a product someone should be profiting from. The fact that it is treated as such in the US is part of our problem. Healthcare should be treated the same as police and fire protection. And guess what, everyone is required to pay for those, whether or not they ever need them.
That would be wrong, but is that what is happening? The situation the OP proposed is entirely reasonable, the situation you propose is not. Unless we know which is nearer to what is actually happening we can't very well judge if it's wrong or not.
Sure vector animations in HTML5 may be much less CPU-efficient then flash still, but are they efficient enough? Vector animations don't typically need much to run acceptably. All the HTML5 animation demos I can find run fine on my crappy old laptop, and obviously as time goes by performance will become even less of a problem.
Android is still open, it's only Android 3.0/3.1 that they aren't releasing source code for. And there is no need to question why they aren't releasing the source code for those versions because they've been very clear about the reason. They simply broke a lot of stuff needed to run Android on phones while they rushed to get tablet support working in honeycomb, and they do not want to release code that doesn't work. ICS will be out in a month or two, relax and you will have the latest Android source again in no time.
Like with with multiple star systems, it pretty much has to be structured with the planet orbiting the binary stars much further then the stars orbit each other. Otherwise the system would not be stable.
As for catching this star system in the short window of discoverability, on the one hand we could be a little lucky. But on the other hand there are probably many other systems out there that will be just entering a window of discoverability as this system exits it. So while the odds of us catching this particular star system were low, it was probably pretty close to inevitable that we would discover one like it once we started looking.
Thanks for your educated opinion. Up till now all we had was the opinion of some guy who used the software, but now we know the truth since you watched a demo at a marketing event where everything was carefully choreographed to avoid showing anything negative.
Very true, but more to the point, only very crappy one-hit wonder performers are "struggling" with an income gap. Anyone else has absolutely ZERO excuse.
You say that as if one-hit wonders are an unfortunate minority that's not worth considering. In reality one-hit wonders are pretty luck as they still have one more hit than the vast majority of professional musicians.
You don't seem to want to acknowledge the difference between incorrectly delivered and incorrectly addressed. If someone puts my address in the To field and it arrives in my inbox then it was correctly delivered. Whether they intended for me to receive the email or not is not relevant to the laws you referenced.
Is that really so? I can understand a big decrease in new subscriptions because of this, but I don't see why existing customers would be leaving already. Seems premature to me, it's not like their service suddenly took a nosedive after the merger was proposed.
The unintended consequences aren't from the lower CO2 levels, but from the method we use to lower the levels. For example, seeding the ocean with nutrients to stimulate growth of algae to take CO2 from the air. The consequences we have to consider for that are what happens to existing ocean life? Would they be unable to compete with the new algae thus causing a die off of oceanic fish and mammals?
Certainly the current state of affairs with rising temperatures isn't ideal, but it would be a mistake to assume we couldn't put ourselves in an even worse position with a poorly thought out fix.
Assuming you're not a moron, could you explain what's wrong with his numbers? Pre-industrial CO2 levels ~280PPM, current CO2 levels ~380PPM. Seems ok to me.
Slashdot Mirror
Such as? Sure you can locally cache files but browsing in such a limited way isn't exactly what comes to mind when I think of "surfing" the web.
What magical browser do you use that allows you to surf the web without any network connection?

It would need to be a difference of over 10 meters. You couldn't get that sort movement without some pretty noticeable shaking.
Singapore Airlines and Air Asia spam has saved me hundreds in flights
Why would you call it spam if you requested it? That's like calling someone a thief for accepting a gift you offered.
Actually it does mean just that. "An" is always used when the following word starts with a vowel sound, it doesn't have to start with a vowel.

Sure but sine waves are easy, they are regular. If you combine two random wave forms together they aren't so easy to separate.
I'm pretty sure he was making an Office Space reference.

Hint: Ron Paul is also opposed to border fences.

Revise the copyright laws to make sure that copyright can't be transferred from the creator and that the creator always must be a person.
You mean a person like Warner Music Group?.
There you go again. If it has my address then it's not incorrectly delivered. What is it about that you don't get?

How do you figure? The asteroid wouldn't have any measurable gravitational effect on us. Way to small and way to distant.

Right, and the judge ruled that the woman did have an expectation of privacy. She was using the laptop in the privacy of her own home.
And you base your assumption that we'd be better off under McCain on what exactly?
I don't remember ever seeing Tom Waits referenced on Slashdot before, well done sir!
