There will always be homeless and by and large we take of most of our mentally ill. I'd rather spend it on space exploration than pumping some pork into politician's buddies pockets...but then again, we'll have that for awhile too. We all benefit from space exploration. New technologies are discovered, invented, born, what have you.
This could be an excellent way to help local musicians. Contact them and offer to play their music for free with a blurb about the band. By-pass the RIAA alltogether. Think about it, a little sign out front "Today you're listening to John Doe and The Strangers" or something.
Why not release it? Are they making the same rash assumption that the RIAA is, namely that anything already being passed on P2P is unsellable in the store? I think statistics have shown otherwise, but maybe I'm missing something.
Exactly. This is not a US vs. The World issue. M$ is being pressured. They are using political influence, I wouldn't doubt, to stave that pressure. This is not an indictment nor indicative of "corruption" of an entire system or country. I would agree that there are a lot of politicians who just aren't tech-savy enough to fully explore the issues. I'm saddened that many are in my own party. Yet, I will keep pushing for alternatives to M$ because I believe in it. NOT because I want the world to like me. Frankly, given some of the dominate Europeans political stances of late, I could care less if they like me or my country but be honest and logical; this has little to do with this issue.
is that M$ may finally be getting smacked for its tactics abroad. Now if it would happen here at home! I'm of the opinion that not enough ill can befall M$. At least let them feel some retribution for their evils.
Okay, barring his reasoning, is it really bold to say DVD's will be obsolete in 10 years? Given the way technology changes, it probably should be. Then again, we still have floppies.
Nova did a story on this that was quite fascinating. They covered the bases very well too and you're right. The Earth would be battered with more solar particles because the magnetic field currently protects us from it. We will likely see more instances of skin cancer too. On the "bright" side, you will likely see more Northern Lights in odd places like maybe Florida and Central America. (Okay, YOU won't, but your great-grandkids might.) Unfortunately, someone on the extreme left will miss the point completely and see this as a chance to gain power and headlines by blaming rich, white Americans (see "Global Warming").
What "stars" don't realize is, we don't care what they think. They live a lifestyle out of the reach of the masses, hang out with people foreign to our everyday lifestyle, and therefore have NO clue about what we go through because when you live that life long enough you conveniently forget where you came from. We don't pay them for their political opinion. This ruling isn't going to keep Richard Dreyfuss from living in the Hollywood hills so we the masses say "Shut and entertain us. That's what we pay you for."
Japan didn't launch a pre-emptive strike. It was an attack. There was no plan for the U.S. to attack Japan or even go to war with Japan. So much for a comparison to Bush. Read your history book, idiot.

Especially since Fedora is the bone thrown to those of us who used to pay RH for a desktop distro! So much for being "behind the product." But then again, it's not really "product" is it? So who really cares if it works? RH calls it "bleeding edge" obfiscating them of any real liability for a working distro. "Hey, we told you it's development. Want a working distro? Buy our Enterprise-because-the-little-end-user-doesn't-hav e-deep-enough-pockets Workstation Edition."
Oh so I'm responsible for all children? This is socialism. A microcosmic example, but socialism nonetheless. Beyond that, and I would agree it is a greater social good, if my child is getting a subpar education I should have the ability to move him to another school and get a break on my tax dollars to do it. Schools that can't cut it are a waste of tax dollars. Forcing me to continue to pay into a system where I have little representation is wrong. The reason the NEA and such are afraid of school vouchers is that they lose power. This crap about "the children will starve! They'll all die! Public schools will dry up!" is just fearmongering. If they would take a proactive approach to fiscal responsibility this mess wouldn't exist. So much is spent on public school but so little reaches the classroom. I STILL get requests to send money to my kids' school to pay for supplies and such in the classroom and I don't mean pencil and paper for my kid. Meanwhile, some dork is pulling down 6 figures for sitting on his ass along with his 8 subordinates doing nothing but deciding whether the lunchrooms get new drapes. The minute you start talking about making schools adhere to standards, liberals start screaming. Screw 'em. They're there to learn but they're not learning. At least with vouchers I can remove my child from the useless school to a worthwhile one. The "greater good" is preserved since my child is still getting educated.
Which will inevitably lead to "piss and moan" technology when the file takes forever to transfer due to low bandwidth, or loses link half-way through, or just errors out completely. Yay!
I've been following this on the Security Basics list. From what I've seen, this has been brought to Linksys' attention with little response. To all of you who think things like this get released and the company never knows why, I can tell you it doesn't appear to be the case here.
The Clie' offered more power and features than a comparable Palm, though. Which is why I bought my T615C some time back. The same feature set in a Palm would have cost me another $50-$100. I think their designs started getting kinda funky and maybe turned off some people.
Since no one appears to be addressing your questions, here goes. I have 2 cousins with Schizophrenia; one to a greater degree than the other. Granted, this is a broad term that can encompass a variety of abnormal behavior. Generally speaking, you may notice that the older she gets the more severe the symptoms. For instance, my male cousin in his younger days could hold a job, was married twice, and was basically functional though you always knew there was something wrong. Now, at 50, he could never hold a job and his grip on reality is severely damaged. He has fits of paranoia and get's angry very easily. It takes a lot of patience to deal with him. My Aunt has, thus far, avoided committing him to a home though he has spent time in a psychiatric facility at different times in his life.
On the other hand, his sister has by and large had a less severe form. She has had periods of severe symptoms but overall she's less likely to get excited or angy, has few if any fits of paranoia, and while not working fulltime for anyone she does handle domestic duties at home just fine. She too has been married and has two children.
So the answer is not clear, but I think what you need to know is that you need to be very patient and not too surprized if this illness progresses.
This is kinda funny esp. considering the report that came out last year, I think, saying that teachers as a group represented those who did poorly-to-average in college. Now we see this. Are we making their jobs easier because they can't handle them? Just food for thought, as I think teachers as a group have a monumental job and are grossly underpaid.
there are many speculative positions here. Despite the symantic arguments, you're not looking into the past, as much as "at" the past. But not relative to time. You're simply seeing an image of the past, though not as static as say a picture since it will take time for the light reaching the mirror to spend itself.
Even so, to assert that time itself is distance and to imply that we theoretically could travel this medium to Earth's past is perhaps entertaining as a fantasy but is ultimately an excersize in futility given the nature of speed, space, and time as we know it.
Throw in the highly speculative age of the universe and the arrogance it takes to assert a knowledge of the universe's age and dynamics and at best you have a good Star Trek episode....TNG, of course.
Correct. Now we have burdensome taxes from out representatives. I think we've even hit the 50/50 mark where 50% of the populace doesn't pay income tax. Couple the burden of taxes on phone and such with income tax and we have a powder keg on our hands.
