tanstaafl. The money that pays for your "lower costs" comes from advertisers who get you to buy stuff you didn't really want - and can make you think it was your idea and that you're getting a bargain.
This disgusts me. We need to come up with a test, to be administered at birth, to identify potential marketing/advertising types so we can leave them out to be devoured by wolves.
I'm against a tiered Internet as much as the next guy, but there are precedents. Snail mail, for example, has a tiered system where you pay your 39 cents to get a letter someplace in sometime less than a week. You pay extra to get it there the next day.
Yeah, but do you justify that your 39 cents for "first class" is used to subsidize the cost of "bulk rate" - i.e. you're paying for crap you don't even want in the first place. Efforts by some elected officials to fix this are shot down by others.
I don't see where you'd endter a pin or password, sounds sketchy.
It calls you back a few seconds after you press SEND for you to enter your pin. It addresses you by name, I just tested it by sending some money to my wife's phone - confused the hell out of her (she *was* sitting beside me) cuz I didn't tell her what I was doing... now I need to sign her up for a PayPal account.
It seems absolutely inevitable that no matter the size of the flash drive, it will be mostly or completely full and hasten its own demise in the worst way.
It would make excellent storage for mostly static files such as the operating system and programs - i.e. non-user data. I'm wondering if I could slide it into the floppy slot of my large screen Thinkpad. T'would be a nice upgrade to a system I'm otherwise happy with.
The algorithm I use when I decide whether or not to block are:
If it flashes, wiggles, blinks, moves, stutters, makes sound, takes up too much space, or changes its content in any way , it gets blocked - forever. Static ads I leave.
"the Inventors have patented a particular application of that correlation, when used as a sequential step in a diagnostic method"... they aren't asking for a patent on the correlation, or even on thoughts, about the correlation, even though that's how LabCorp has tried to characterize it
Yes they are. Without being able to reason about a necessary step to arrive at a conclusion, the conclusion may not be logically arrived at. The application of logic is sometimes called Thought. What do you think doctors should do... see the need to do a particular test to determine a relationship, and just wave their hands instead and jump to an unsupported conclusion?
Credit card agreements have built-in liability protection if the number is stolen. Debit cards leave the account holder dealing with missing money at least until things are sorted out, if not permanently.
Debit cards have the same protection as credit cards when used as credit cards. The only time you're using it as a debit card is when you have to enter your PIN.
ocal thing is kinda nice, but the scrolling highlight articles make me want to find a way to turn off javascript. (anything that does that like flashblock?)
Take a peek at the NoScript Firefox extension - it allows selective site javascript disablement.
Perhaps you could spend a few seconds learning about a subject before you spout the party line of ignorance.
People who engage in warfare against the US (or other signatory countries) and are not in the uniform of a nation that has subscribed to the Geneva Convention are not entitled to any of the protections agreed under that convention. If found under arms with terrorists then they too are considered terrorists until such time as the Government determines what they wish to do with them. They are to be treated humanely in US prisons - and yes, I know some were not treated so in Abu Ghareb - those who mistreated them are being held responsible. Humane treatment does not mean they may not be deprived of comfort in an effort to coerce them into divulging information of intelligence value.
Military tribunals are authorized by the US Constitution. Military officers are college educated with multiple graduate level educational opportunities after commissioning - they are knowledgeable of the environments and situations that detainees were captured under. If a jury is involved, military juries have the ability to question witnesses themselves (through the judge) and do not have to rely blindly strictly on which attorney has the greater gift of gab. Many people on learning how the military justice system works have come to believe that if one is innocent it's better to be tried by a military jury - and conversely if one professes to spend the rest of his life looking for the "real killer", then you'd probably want to be tried by a civilian jury.
Other than the anti-Bush stuff that flies between my wife and my sister-in-law, myself and various friends, I don't think the government is going to be too interested in our e-mail.
This may come as a shock to you, so sit down - unless you're threatening the life of the President, the government doesn't care about the anti-Bush stuff either. Sorry.

Why would anyone flash his lights, since all intelligent people know not to block the passing lane?
Say ... now there's an ad campaign...
A few dozen employees going postal after listening to that repetitive crap should put the damper on things.
I think this might be actionable as the audio equivalent of the chinese water torture. Repetition ad nauseum is a viable torture technique.

I just tested it. It takes longer than swiping a debit card and typing in a PIN. It'll be useful in some situations though.

How about tomorrow?
The indexes come up if entered without the upcaret, i.e.: ^IXIC is shown at IXIC

99% of the internet could disappear and it would much nicer.
Not at all. VC firms desire controlled privacy - they want to be the one to bring others in or bless announcements.
Well ... no shit. Why would any firm with the word "venture" in the name fund a risky untested startup ... insanity, I tell you.
99 bottles of beer on the wall ... 99 bottles of beer ...

I think you have that backwards.
