Of course abnormal distractions would be bad. But just think of the normal ones like "road signs" or "checking blind spots" or "looking out for unexpected traffic." Yeah, this is neat, but with the inherent risks involved in driving as it is, probably a bad idea.
Even though I have a safe deposit box (email) stored at a third party (ISP), I have a key (passord) and thus expect it to not be looked at. Can the feds now raid all safe deposit boxes without a warrant?
My point being that we (US) treat others like crap for NO reason, we get shafted back. I'm currently getting my 4th work visa in my 3rd country, and I really do think it ends up being a detriment to come from the US.
Apparently if you visit Brazil, Europeans and Brazilians go through one line. Americans, we can all step over here to get fingerprinted, retina scanned, etc.
Bull. Their business models just suck. Really, advertising potential has not decreased, but only shifted ever so slightly. If you offer a truly good experience on a local oriented website, you can recoup the losses of the drop in dead-tree paper sales. There might be more work involved, but there is still potential
He can just have good notes and ideas of what he wants to teach, then print copies of those for each class. Add in a few projects or assignments to drill specifics into the students, and viola, you're good to go! It's a lot more work, but if you're willing to save the kids the money on books, it's a possibility.
...is only going for a 50 year lease. Indiana sold the Indiana Toll Road (I-80) for 75 years to a foreign company, along with Illinois selling the Chicago Skyway, and Chicago also sold all of their parking meters for 75 years as well.
It's just goddamn ridiculous. In 2080 our kids' kids' kids are going to piss on our graves realizing how much we f'd them over with these kind of contracts.
All of which require leaving your presumably chosen field of climatology, academic credibility, experience, job contacts, and even friends, family... and entering the crap shoot of making it big in the mass media?
The company I work for has some work in Uzbekistan. Reading up on the CIA page, it says that while there is no official censorship of the media, there is widespread self-censorship. Anyone who does not censor themselves is usually fired or "taken care of." So while there may be no official cabal of Global Warming alarmists, it does not mean there there are no dire consequences for taking a stance against it.
I apologize for offending your Scottish sensibilities, but apparently there's an annoying "Godwin" who nixed the easiest example. Either way, the example did not have the requirement of being real, but merely an example of an immoral law.
Hate them or love them, the English nobles were entitled to First Night with Scottish women. Braveheart and his wife did not follow the law, and she paid the price after being found guilty. According to your logic, there is no moral argument once a government makes a ruling.
Hate them - love them - or be indifferent - but they won and they should get what they are owed...
Plus, the Armstrong boot print was probably at least partially destroyed when they took off anyway. I'm thinking this guy just has his head in the clouds... and probably has a voice like that gay hippie on Family Guy.
I think people would like Linux more if they were familiar with program names. Notepad, Paint, Wordpad, Calc... whatever. When I boot Linux on occasion, I'm more confused with what program does what than how to use them.
While I applaud the work of thousands to build such robust amazing programs and give them each their own special name, I'm of the opinion that if you give someone KDE with a few programs labeled generically "email" "internet browser" "calculator" "text editor" "Office Text/Spreadsheet/Presentation" "Network - Wireless" "Printers" and so on and so forth instead of each programs' real name, you'd be a lot closer to the #1 goal of usability: making an intuitive interface.
Isn't it Japan that was looking to fine people for being overweight, since it would cost the government more for health care? And don't they stop treating cancer patients in some European countries if they're too old?
While the idea of universal free happy healthy health care sounds sugary sweet, there are some dire consequences of handing our individual health to governmental control.
People in this area, Midwest, often build ponds when they build a new house in a rural area, and lay a closed loop in the bottom of the pond for heating/cooling. The only thing people need to be careful about is how deep things freeze, either in the pond or with the in-ground systems.

If this were used for recharging Chevy Volts, or cooling deep freezers.

Just look at how much better Salon.com did after their attempt. Remember them?
The ruling was based on the (false) idea that emails are easily and regularly read by ISP employees, and thus is considered public.

More importantly, is there a way to disable F1 in Windows? I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally hit it when trying to hit Esc.

Why? We do it to them, so they do it back. F.
Often, doctors prescribe antibiotics because patients or parents of patients simply want to "see them do something."
Or, if nothing is done, and a patient dies of complications, the doctor is sued for not doing "enough."
If I were a doc, I'd do the same damn thing.
60 years ago, I built a computer that took up an entire room. Amazingly, it got replaced with a smaller, more efficient model.
They have run journalism into the ground...

and to be fair, the quality of Outlook has improved a lot.
I love how Outlook uses almost 300MB of virtual memory at work. Seriously, wtf.
There is only one thing that distinguishes humans from any other life form.
Yeah, humans have souls from the moment of conception, whereas animals do not.
The point is that it happens everywhere. This one just happened not too far from me, and affected people I know. http://www.wtol.com/Global/story.asp?S=11188978
A submission of a cake recipe cause it is open source? Look... you can add your own ingredients and develop it further.
What about OpenCola?
