Also, last I checked, some pretty big social networking sites use IIS. Gee, that bastion of uptime, speed, and programming talent they call Myspace? What other references does IIS need?
). The people receive a portion of the proceeds from the exploitation of our primary natural resource, oil; which is only fair, considering it's our resource. What makes your think it is your resource? I'm just curious. I remember the united states government purchasing the land. Why does living in the region somehow give you guys exclusive mineral rights as a state? Why are the proceeds limited to your state?
Case in point, say I need to program weather models. Should I hire a CS or meteorologist that minoring in CS? I would say you need an expert in both fields, without knowing specifics. You won't need the programmer after you get the program written, but you will want an expert programmer to write the program, to be sure. Any programmer not extremely well versed in advanced computing algorithms or the language they are writing in for, especially with something as computationally intensive as a weather model could be disastrous. You wouldn't want to hire someone fresh out of college either.
wow...$eriou$ly, get a grip. My bo$$ typed "M$" in an email at work ju$t thi$ week, and he'$ about a$ con$ervative right wing capitali$t a$ they come. I thought it wa$ funny.

That would probably be more true if everyone who was ever a college student could sign up for facebook back when they were "exclusive". I graduated before it struck popularity, so I have a myspace account despite graduating, and no facebook account. Most of my graduate friends have myspace accounts as well.
It sounds like you don't have the foggiest idea what it costs to maintain, much less build a road. Let me clue you in a bit. I work for the Texas Department of Transportation, and we let hundreds of millions of dollars worth of contracts monthly. Roads are expensive. Vehicle registration is relatively cheap.
Your emotional appeal aside, (think of the children!) if the police were "thinking of the children" they would be ticketing in residential areas where idiots do drive too fast, and not on some rural speed trap where the speed limit inexplicably goes down to 55 from a 70 then right back up to 70 (at least, thats what one of my professors told me in a rant, and I agree.) It is a shameless profit generation mechanism for the most part. Also, Click it or ticket. Grrr.
So the argument here, if I may simplify it, is that millions of Mexicans are swamping the borders because they want free emergency healthcare.
I think you oversimplified and and totally went off on a tangent. Regardless of their motives for coming, the reality is that hospitals are shutting down because they cannot afford to treat people who do not pay and that they cannot turn away. Illegal workers will have no health coverage, and so they either pay out of their own pocket or the bill goes unpaid.
And I would say that anyone who judges a persons ability to evaluate a typical user based on the nomenclature used in a post to a site with a slogan of "news for nerds" is being a bit unfair. Besides, people buy books called "X for dummies" and don't seem to feel too insecure about it, and in that context newbie seems rather tame.
Doesn't mean the same thing though. I want your money too, but not way the RIAA does. I want it in a "world peace" sort of way. RIAA wants it in a "war on terror" sort of way.
Scenario 1 is very different from scenario 2. in 1, you have a specific house with a specific purpose. If you were to extend this to scenario 2 it is likening it to cars parked in front of everyone's house, just in case someone drives up that is suspicious.
you have to click back to column a or b in the example to make it work. I was odd of them to change this functionality, since if you were trying to choose a particular set of rows the ctrl-shift + arrow key worked pretty well before.
Please, this law is not unique in that it leaves room for interpretation. Let's focus on the improper implementation of the law in this case, lest we be required to flesh out all laws to unintelligible legalese.
You are right, it is revenue, and money is money, I'm sure all investors will like that. However, they claim it is "vista" revenue, which it is not, exactly. It is OEM revenue that the customers really have no choice in paying, almost an MS tax, and whats more, it isn't even vista, its XP with a free Vista upgrade. So this does speak well to their current ability to make money, but I don't think it is a long term indicator of increased adoption of vista.
NO GUNS - NO DEATHS its as simple as that Yes, we were immortal until the invention of gunpowder, damned technology.
It's funny to me that if I were to say something like "NO BLACKS, NO DEATHS", I would be modded into oblivion, and rightly so, but your mindless comment gets positive moderation.
It is amazing to me that 17k of the firearm related deaths (well over half) of those were suicides, yet you attribute those deaths to "the culture of guns". Correlation != Causation.
I don't know about you, but I guess I would get shot hurling a desk or running away because I don't have a gun nor any significant means of defending myself. And I'm not really happy about that, seeing as I feel like I would be as likely as most to make a reasonable decision about whether or not to shoot someone in such a case.
Allowing students to arm themselves is insane? These aren't preschoolers, these aren't even high schoolers. They can choose to arm themselves anyway, just not on campus. Insane is the exact wrong word here, especially considering these are presumably educated, intelligent young adults.
Seriously... What the hell does that line mean? Glad you asked. The general connotation is that they are a monopoly that has been convicted for abusing said monopoly status. Google has publically labled Microsoft that way, and Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison called them that back in 2004, so its not like the parent invented the term.
People like you need to wake up to the fact their is NO DIFFERENCE between Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. I think that it is quite unfair to stereotype all corporations based on the wort behaved ones. I agree though, that some media corps have gotten/are getting away with murder.
Or do you belive just ins ome special new radical form of communism where people who make physical goods work as capitalists, and the schmucks who make copyable goods have to uphold the communist side?
I think the problem is that applying the capitalist ideology here requires one to do something counter to their self interest (at least in the short term.) The only reason I'm not copying a farmers goods right now isn't because I'm a good capitalist, it's because I can't in the same way I can copy software.
You've diverted a bit from our original discussion that dealt with retirement and healthcare, and the window of "opportunity" for these retirees ould by and large be long past.
My parents actually fall into the less than $25k/year category. They married young. They had children young. They likely had a sub-par educational experience coming from a very small town in a very backwoods area. They have not planned very well for their retirement thus far. Do I or they expect everyone around them (taxpayers ) to start coughing up money because they failed to plan for the future? Hell no.
Simply put, these people had a entire working lifetime to save up enough money to live reasonably when they get old. If they can multiply and add, they can figure out how to save a dollar a day to make sure they won't need handouts(and I think the emotive word fits, in this case) when they are too old to work. I hope I never reaach this point, like my 80 year old grandfather who is currently pushing cedar in a pasture somewhere, though he did save more than enough for his own retirement.
Healthcare and financial aid for low income students are different issues to me, and so I can't comment as easily on those. I do believe that companies bear the brunt of the cost for helping out low income students, as they have the most direct gain from a larger, more diverse workforce to choose from, whereas I would be funding my competition. Healthcare is something we all need, and fits more the mold that you seem to be forcing other issues into, that of chance.
should we really punish people for being born into a poor family
punish? by not giving them handouts? Where did this entitlement come from?
And as I pointed out before, people from minorities are massively over-represented by those under the poverty line - are they just stupider?
They are probably not stupider, but perhaps more likely to make poor life decisions based on cultural norms. I have no idea why you brought this up. Certainly you don't think that just because minorities are involved that there is some sort of racist/sexist causation. If so, lets see the data on why.
Now take into account John Rawles' veil of ignorance; imagine you haven't yet been born and have no idea where in society you will end up.
I could do this, but then I would ignoring the fact that I have a measure of control over these things and moreover, supporting a mentality that not only condones but rewards laziness/stupidity. I'm no Ayn Rand, but this definitely does not sit well with me.
If you were making your decision based on these chances
But I'm not, and neither is anyone else. And before you condescend to tell me I've never been in some of these people's shoes, let me remind you that you've not been in mine.

why not just use select count(1) from your_table and be done with it.

For quick reference United States v Microsoft and European Union Microsoft antitrust case
note that MS has, in fact, been convicted of monopolistic practices more than once. A repeat offender one might say.
