But they are saying it coincided with the implementation of cable. So, unless the cable installers were also doing autism diagnoses then there is an odd correlation here.
I guess you have to ignore the forced internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, Guantanamo Bay, Palmer raids during the Red Scare, etc. Granted abuses in the US aren't as systematic and widespread as the KGB but I didn't know we were using them as the standard of what is acceptable. Individual, "isolated" cases start to form a pattern. After all, every case is individual.
"That's something that people do _now_. When your sexuality is common knowledge there's no point in trying to hide it. It might just be that more openness about sexuality will lessen the taboos that surround it."
People can't hide the color of thier skin or nationality and it is safe to say it doesn't win many of them any respect.
Of course that justification can be used as a form of intimidation. Imagine the police storming into your place of work or you family gathering to haul you off for questioning. 12 hours later you are returned exhausted and stunned and are barely given an apology but the damage to you is done (career, socially, security clearances, etc).
Saying you aren't affected is like saying "I don't need to wear a seatbelt because I've never been in an accident." Which is fine for 99% of your life but that last 1% when you do hit another car sure is going to suck.
I wish more ISPs allowed for whitelists. I could easily specify what addresses I know are legit. If they let them bypass the filtering I'd worry about false positives less. I don't know why this feature isn't offered more.
Someone should invent (I'm no electrical engineer or I would) an external sata box that can handle a range of old DIMMs and allow you to use them as a RAM drive. Just imagine the delight you'd give your inner penny-pincher as you give all those old DIMMs new life.
Intel didn't die when it was #2 so why should AMD? They have the smarts and $ to stay in the game. When you are #1 you can only go down so give AMD a year or two.
I'm glad Intel has start pushing ahead again. Competition keeps the fire lit under their butts and is good for the consumer.
Give those old machines to churches or other non-profits if you never touch them. Any chance to save money is always welcome by them and they don't need powerful systems.
Your experience with NVidia goes against mine. I've had nothing but excellent results with my EVGA 7800GT NVidia board. I keep the drivers up to date and haven't had a problem yet. This is the problem with anecdotal evidence, it is just that.
FYI, Epox EP-9NPA+ MB (NVidia NForce4) with AMD 3800+ X2.
If oil and gas deposits produce a happy population then how come Nigeria isn't, or Alaska for that matter?
Actually, contrary to Norway's Foreign Ministry's sunny report oil production in Norway has peaked. Though, as you pointed out, they have better gas reserves. Russia still supplies a major part of Europe's gas needs (#1 at 1,680 trillion cubic feet in reserves).
Production from Norway, OECD Europe's largest producer, is expected to peak at about 3.6 million barrels per day in 2006 and then decline gradually to about 2.5 million barrels per day in 2030 with the maturing of some of its larger and older fields.
Total recoverable reserves of coal around the world are estimated at 1,001 billion tons--enough to last approximately 180 years at current consumption levels...67 percent of the world's recoverable reserves are located in four countries: the United States (27 percent), Russia (17 percent), China (13 percent), and India (10 percent).
Please stop knocking my favorite US o' A myths. Soon you'll be telling me that the French actually put up a good fight in WWII but their army got cut off in Belgium along with the Brits, or that they didn't lose more than 1 million people in WWI.
Now all I have left are "those lazy Mexicans" and "Republicans care about the middle class".
Norway also has normal work weeks and they are evaluted as being happier than people in the US. Most people in Europe (i.e. UK, Norway) have far more vacation weeks than us (and use them) and they live quite well on average.
As far as France goes they have other issues that have very little to do with the 40 hr law. In fact it is due to the unemployment situation that the law was made, not visa-versa. Most analysts agree that France's problems stem from the extremely restrictive hiring/firing laws. I don't see them regressing into a "second world" country any time soon though, Francophobe biases notwithstanding.
"It isn't the job of the government to provide you with a happy marriage." No, but the government sets the labor laws and enforces them.
"My personal goal is now to work no more than 45 hours/week on average."
Since it is your company consider hiring people (or more of them). You obviously have more work than you can handle. Delegating responsibility is one of the most important things a manager can do.
I was down near Puebla about 4 years ago and they still refilled old glass soda bottles (washed I assume). You could tell because they were all scuffed and scratched up.
Even with the prices being higher than when you went there it was still a bargin being there compared to the US.
Will it also provide me extra hours to play, counseling for my marriage, stimulent drugs for keeping me awake at work, liposuction for my lack of exercise, and a massage for my sore ass from marathon gaming sessions?
It doesn't account for the massive extinctions such as the Permian. The arrangement of the continents also very likely either exacerbates or minimizes the effects of orbital variations. They also only studied a specific region in Spain (not to mention rodents in particular) which may have been especially prone to subtle climate changes. They need to study a wider geographic and species range.

I might have bought it but now I certainly won't. Time to break out my MAME disks.

My AMD X2 3800+ is trash because it doesn't crank through Folding at Home work units. Nothing else matters!

The quad GPU setup acts as a very powerful "cashsink" which should cool off your wallet nicely.
I'd add the FCC to that list.
I guess I have to be clearer. I meant close relatives with recognizably similar features.
Trilobites ruled the oceans for 250 million years but didn't survive the Permian extinction.
Rodents (or their ancestors) have been around since the dinosaurs.
It doesn't account for the massive extinctions such as the Permian. The arrangement of the continents also very likely either exacerbates or minimizes the effects of orbital variations.
