Cingular offers versions of our PDA phones without a camera for just such a target market. It's not only government contractors that have such a restriction on cameras, it's actually quite common.
Cingular has $19.99 unlimited data on phones, $44.99 for PDA phones, and $74.99 for PCMCIA cards; that's anywhere on the network on GPRS, EDGE, or UMTS(3G). It's possible to pay per kB, but there are unlimited plans.
Bank of America does something to prevent this. When you sign up for online banking, they ask for a phrase that they will include at the top of all legitimate e-mails. It's not fool-proof, but it's a start.
I see a slight flaw in your analogy. If Ford required you to only use Ford branded gasoline, then we would be dealing with the same issue. Nobody is up in arms about buying an additional paper tray or automatic duplexer from Lexmark, as those are integral parts of the device. However, a consumable such as ink or gasoline has no bearing on the proper functioning of the device, assuming it is formulated properly.
I've heard a disturbing view point from several people during personal conversations as well as various pundits on major news networks. Basically they are saying that reform to the Social Security system is not required since there will be no problem in the short term. Therefor, I applaud the President for addressing this issue before it becomes a crisis without the quotation marks around it.
To respond to the parent that said that prior administrations had solved the solvency issues by increasing the tax rate on upper income earners: why do we keep placing the brunt of the taxes on the upper range of income earners. According to IRS figures taken in 2000, the top 50% of wage earners paid over 90% of the federal income taxes. The government's role is not to play Robin Hood and steal from the rich to give to the poor. However, that's another issue and another debate.
Major reform needs to be done to Social Security in order to make it a viable system, and it's nice to see that somebody has finally accepted responsibility for fixing the system. Only time will tell if the President's plan will be successful, but I am encouraged by its logic, simplicity, and elegance.
Well, if you're going to observe a supernova in your lifetime then the event would have already happened. I do not want to imagine the outcome of a supernova close enough to both occur and be observed in our lifetime.
DNA absorbs in the UV spectrum, so cell phone radiation isn't even close. Proteins also absorb in UV (but at a slightly longer wavelength) so I see no reason why this should be true. (the danger)
This is not always the case, especially when children are involved. That is why is it essential to have a liability clause in your insurance if you have such hazards as pools in your yard. All the signs in the world won't indemnify you, but insurance makes it bearable.
I figured out the multiple DVDs in 1 red envelope thing. Aparantly it's an issue with the post office and how they sort mail (2 DVDs weigh more). I'm not sure if it's complete FOOEY or not, but that's what I've been told.
What do you mean they delay your movies? I'm on the 8 out at a time package and I send them back the same day I get them. My turnaround time is supurb, they ship me my next movie the same day the receive my returned movie, and 90% of the time it's the next day.
In the case of the article, is it well-known that capitalist economies are usually lacking in basic research.
Nikita Kruschev was once taken on a tour of an American farm, and he was amazed at the lack of workers tending the field. He could not believe that one person could manage a large farm due to the technology at hand. There was little innovation in the USSR because there was no incentive to innovate. A citizen of the USSR received the same compensation no matter what they contributed to society. That's communism's major draw back: people suck. So why do socialist countries have more innovation than us capitalist pigs?
The problem is that, to be accurate, you would have to calculate the gravitational forces on any given point by all other points. Now this diminishes according the inverse square law as distance increases, but it's a factor none the less. If you break the job into workloads, how do you accuratly simulate particals from outside your workload?
I seem to remember an article recently stating that broadband users now outnumbered dial-up users by a slim margin. Now that you're the minority, it's not arrogance, it's the man trying to keep you down!
You're almost right. The creation of existing programs cannot be made illegal, but the use can be. For example, you can not be charged with a crime for using a program before the act was passed, but if you continue to use it then it is no longer ex post facto. The program is not "grandfathered" into the old law.
Ideally the combustion of a hydrocarbon breaks down into H2O and CO2. Therefore, in a perfect world, burning a gallon of gas in a hybrid engine, a SUV, or an unlucky lab rat should release the same products. However, it is also possible to get unwanted products from incomplete combustion and/or side reactions with the products. That is how you produce carbon monoxide (CO) from a combustion engine (as well as some other nasty gases). The reason that hybrid vechicles are typically thought to release less of these unwanted byproducts (and thereby qualify as ULEV, etc) is that the engines only run at their most efficient RPM value. A standard car engine runs the gambits of the RPM band as you drive, but a hybrid simply runs at the most efficient fuel/energy ratio to charge the batteries. If you're only dealing with one set of internal conditions, it is much easier to design an effective catalytic converter to remove the unwanted gases from the exhaust.
Look under their pictures section for the picture that shows the device being used as a mirror. It has a woman putting on her lipstick as the image being reflected. Okay, great. Now look at the hand. Does that look like it belongs to a beautiful woman?
No, but in most states they can charge you with criminal conversion. Simpily put, if you handle the item in a manner they don't approve of, it's CC.
Many times it's difficult to prove a shoplifting case for just the reason you mentioned, so the DAs typically file both shoplifting and conversion charges in tandom to ensure a conviction.
They have to make the registry from the list of sex offenders instead of for other crimes. Imagine if there was a convienent government sponsored website to find a local drug dealer in your neighborhood.
As a medical student I can (in my infinate wisdom) definatly say that exercise would be a must for you. However, if you find you are still having problems try this approach: For the next week, make out a schedule in 15 minute increments saying in explicit detail what you will do. Make sure you include your goals/activities and their respective start/stop times. Do not stray from this schedule for any reason, but make sure to add in some personal time so you don't go crazy. By training your mind to work in a diciplined manner, it will help you function in the way you need to.
I've worked in an office supplies retail environment before, and I've seen a lot of people who think it really is cheaper just to buy a new printer. Unfortunatly, the cartridges that come preinstalled in printers do not have the same volume of ink as the retail packages. Depending on the manufacturer, it was anywhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of the retail ink cartridge's volume.
As an employee of Cingular wireless, I can say that we're preparing our backend system to be able to do this. I believe all of the systems are in place, but that they're just testing the system. This could definatly spur competition in the cellular industry, and my completely unbiased (yeah, right) opinion tells me it will work to our advantage by driving more customers to us.

$14.99/line as of June 1st. If you already have $9.99 you keep it.

My girlfriend and I have American Express cards linked to the same account and we have different numbers. It just depends on your bank.

No, Samuel Jackson beer was a parody by Chapelle's Show. It was a very funny skit mmmm-bitch.

They might have funny commercials, but their beds are fantastic. I have one and I sleep much better than I did before I bought it.
