I haven't really seen this in the arena of novels. Most of the cheap ones there look like people trying to vanity-publish their own work--so if you buy a novel, you get a novel. It just may not be a very good novel.
Someone should config a bot to pull down fanfic (erotic fanfic for maximum lulz) and auto publish the material as a legitimate sequel in the original franchise. Comedy + a few dollars for the effort.
I recall a time when my accounting people required MSIE and ActiveX controls to access ADP's services
My company uses it and it still does. I hate it so much. Having to open up IE to log in and use it is like casting a spell to open a portal into Satan's asshole.
I agree with most of what you say but this part seems odd:
I suggest
1) Get your Congressmen hacks off the backs of for profit colleges, many are very good
How many of these for-profit colleges are ABET accredited? Also, I recommend you watch the PBS Frontline documentary (watch it free at the frontline website) called "College, Inc." Both enlightening and lulzy.
It appears to me that most hospitals/medi orgs were dragging their feet to see how it would play out:
"Quite frankly, the hold up is it's a big undertaking and it took them a while to get under way. Everybody's started, but a large percentage of hospitals are in the heavy analysis stage or they're just starting," said Casey Corcoran, vice president commercial solutions for healthcare at General Dynamics Information Technology, a vendor offering ICD-10 consulting services.
The new system sounds much better and appears to be more accurate.
An 'unfunded mandate,' the change over to ICD-10 codes is a multi-year project for hospitals, state Medicaid organizations, and insurance providers. The effort, which affects dozens of core systems, is taxing IT operational budgets at a time when shops are already under the gun to implement electronic health records."
This is good as well. Insurance company profits are ridiculous and hopefully this will force them to invest a lot of those profits in the American economy to do this work. Complaining about expense when replacing systems in a organization that is fraught with malpractice (misdiagnosis, amputating the wrong limb, dispensing the wrong medication) is ridiculous. This is akin to the government complaining about the cost of replacing infrastructure when the alternative is your car plunging in the river on your morning commute.
So, to understand what you are saying, you watch TV, play with toys, go to the park and play on the internet all day and that is difficult? Man, you have a great life and are a giant pussy, you stupid, childful, ignorant fuck.
Heaven SUCKS! The noise of all the angel's wings flapping is making it difficult to truly enjoy my harem of supermodels, swimming pool filled with wine and diamond roller skates! I'M OUTTA HERE, SUCKERS.
They should have changed the instructions to the ever-popular "how to make crystals" article that regularly pops up on 4chan. Change the name to "how to make semtex" then wait for hilarity.
I just did the whole python course (videos+exercises) and it was very well put together. Please get Google to post more courses....maybe some Haskell or Lisp!
Comparing a website where people post a list of their favorite bands and try to "hook up" with others in their area to a website that holds more information than 100,000 libraries of Alexandria? This is not like comparing apples to oranges but more like comparing gorillas to MOSFETS.
I use project gutenberg for classics once I found out the free classics at some other places were edited/abridged for some unknown reason.
Also, you can wrangle a free Amazon Prime membership (free two-day shipping on purchases) by doing stuff like signing up (free) for at amazon.com/mom which is for expecting parents. Amazon gives you a free 6 month Prime membership to load up with.
I bought a Kindle but now I find myself exclusively buying used paper because it's waaayy cheaper (many books below $1, some $.01) and I can take the used book to the bookstore and get turn-in value which I can use to buy more books.
But the researchers decided to pull the talk at the last minute after Siemens and the US Department of Homeland Security pointed out the possible scope of the problem."
Don't you mean the DHS told them not to do it or they would get a thorough anal probing in the airport security check on their way out of town. I'm pretty sure they understood the "scope of the problem" before they started doing the research (which was also probably the motivation for the research).
Considering that the hearings about the economic collapse didn't result in any jail time or even any fines for the perpetrators, Tribble should just show up in flip-flops and a t-shirt while drunk and say "What's up, sluts? I hope this isn't going to take very long....yea, we violate privacy but considering you didn't do anything about Wall Street execs that literally raped this country out of trillions of dollars I'm sure as shit you are going to get off your fat asses for some lousy cellphone privacy issues! Peace out, bitches, catch you on the flippity flop!"
I'm assuming then that there is no chain of custody (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_custody) for all the "evidence" they are bringing into the court?
Convicting one innocent person is a greater injustice than letting 23,000 guilty people go free for something so ridiculous as copyright infringement. It is the basis of our very legal system and why conviction requires proof "beyond a shadow of a doubt."
“Better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer,” said
English jurist William Blackstone.
Many people in this country use their neighbors loosely protected (or unprotected) wifi routers as a major download pipe so as not to clog up their own connections and now with things like CUDA-Multiforcer and the Amazon cloud everyone is at risk whether you use WPA2 or not.

After years of development, the C++ programming language standard was ratified in 1998 as ISO/IEC 14882:1998
C++ didn't exist as a standardized language till 13 years ago. It was in development before then.
Lambda expressions!
AGREED. Add "The Wrestler" to the list.
Implement genetic ECC, IMO!

shit buffet!
FTFY, etc.
What the fuck is a "masters degree in IT?" Is that like a PhD in "visual studio?" Did you get that master's degree from univ. of phoenix/strayer/etc?

"heavy analysis": heavy procrastination

Good idea.

You, my familial-basement-dwelling troll, assume coercion and conspiracy is how everything gets done by three-letter agencies.
I didn't assume it. I learned it by reading the memos from the U.S. government that were leaked.
First of all, don't you realize every time you make a joke about "anal probes" at the airport, you're being not-so-subtly homophobic?
Why do you assume that every gay likes a government agent to stick his gloved hand up his ass? Way to stereotype......
