Then just blur their faces and name tags and publish the damn pictures. You don't have to worry about the victim's privacy, as they are probably wearing a burlap hood.
Gov't run health care? No thanks. I hate the DMV enough to have an idea of what that will be like
I lived in NY, VA and MA and in all three places the DMV was quite efficient, especially when compared to Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I wish the DMV ran my health care program. It would not be ideal but it would be an improvement.
This is particularly bad timing for such a thing as Google is in the process of laying off workers
Quite the opposite: since they are closing down offices elsewhere, a larger fraction of their work force will be concentrated in California and potentially inconvenienced by Prop 8.
it would be better to get someone who can listen to scientists and engineers and also be a great administrator.
Not at all. you should get somebody who is a scientist and just give them a political adviser who understands the political infighting. You can teach politics to a scientist, but you cannot teach science to a politician.
I used to work in a place where if you did not have an Ivy League name on your resume, your resume went straight in the garbage bin. I understand this is the rule rather than the exception.
Does not sound like a universal solution for AIDS. You must be lucky enough to find an HIV-immune person who also is a donor match. That sounds like a tall order.
You don't really understand how money works. Only a small fraction (~10%) of the money in the US economy is created by the government. The rest is summoned out of thin air by private banks when they give out loans.
I recently was complaining that Firefox was starting to get bloated
That is an understatement if there ever was one. On my machine (Ubuntu/Opteron), a Firefox instance with seven tabs open uses 235M, more than IE8 did in the test.
I never said that. What I said was that I run 6 days a week and you should too. I stand by that.
how many years have you been running?
5 years. I started at 30. When I started, I was 30 lb. overweight and I could not run for more than 3 minutes without vomiting. I started by running 2 min and walking 2 min an repeating until I totaled 30 min of running. I did that 6 days a week. Every week I reduced the walking to running ratio, until I was running for 30 min straight. Going from there to the marathon was significantly easier. Did I get an occasional swolen ankle? Sure. But I iced it and kept going.
I did not say that you should jump straight into a 40 mi week or a 10 mi run, of course you have to build up gradually. But 24h is enough for your body to recover from all but the most demanding workouts, with the help of some ice packs. Training is about getting your body used to ever increasing loads, and your body does not adapt unless you keep it pretty much under constant stress, just short of the breaking point. You can start by running 1 mile a day for 6 days in a row, if that is the most your body can handle, but it has to be a daily routine.
What I was saying was that you will not see a significant weight loss until you reach a fairly high weekly mileage and are able to do a long enough run every week, that would have you running after the GLYCOGEN in your muscles is depleted. At that point you are forcing your body to use the metabolic pathways that produce energy by burning fatty acids, instead of sugars.
Where did you get that idea? Care to elaborate a bit about the downfalls of running for two days in a row? I run every day except Monday, I've been doing it for 5 years now, and I am fine.
7. Running shoes are not one size fits all.
I would add to that the fact that they are only good for about 500 miles and that they should suit your biomechanics. Don't buy them at Dick's, or Sports Authority, or any other place like that. Go to a specialized running store. They will have you run barefoot on a treadmill and recommend a shoe based on what your foot does when it impacts the ground.
I would also add that if your goal is to lose weight and you are running less than 40 mi/week, you are just wasting your time. My weekly milage varies from ~30 mi/week in the dead of winter, when I often have to skip running due to the road conditions (I hate running on treadmills), and 70 mi/week at the peak of a marathon training program. I am 5'11'' and my weight varies from 172 (at low mileage), to 163 (right before a marathon). Also, weight loss does not begin until I start doing runs that take me beyond the glycogen depletion point (2h 45 min for me). Before that the muscles burn sugars only, no fat.

Let me know when I can get my ATI drivers installed and dual monitors up and running in Ubuntu >
It worked out of the box for me, although I have an nVidia card.
They also gave us Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten?

I would say "well done", provided that the same standard is applied to inculpatory DNA evidence.
Are these human or klingon astronauts we are talking about?
because some people like to have a life outside work, and the day only has 24 hours.
When the head of state travels, he represents the country. What would it say about the US aircraft industry if he travelled in a foreign airliner?
It would say that he is the head of a responsible government who does not like to waste taxpayer money on obsolete technology.
When somebody is that valuable, it makes sense.
Nobody is that valuable.
you may want to move to the nearest monastery. Nothing there should ever disconcert you.
...other than the monks doing the elephant walk.

Do you know what kind of precedent that would set?
None, as the Italian law system is not based in common law and therefore does not have the notion of precedent

Is it really that much of a burden to resync your device?
No, but having to mail it in for something as trivial as a battery replacement is.
Human qualities!= intelligence.
That statement would make a great signature.
You are also anecdotal evidence
