Not definitive, but enlightening. Another group also proved that a runaway car with open throttle can still be stopped by the brakes anyway - they tried it with multiple cars - even a 500+ horsepower car.
The fact that you ask these questions means you're totally clueless. Check and see what the total support and training cost for a US soldier is, add his wage, and then compare to a Blackwater merc. (hint: Cost of deploying one U.S. soldier for one year in Iraq - $390,000 (CBO))
Then check the SLGI, the life insurance plan for the military. You are told when you enlist to check the box, you're told before you deploy to check the box, you're told repeatedly throughout your military career to "check the fucking box" which means that if you checked the box and you die, you get up to $400,000 for your family as well as all the other benefits for your kids and wife (which are quite a bit) Veterans benefits are fucking amazing already, adding more is just vote-buying by politicians
As far as Verizon goes, to cancel any account because of the death of the account-holder requires a death certificate. Just like the car loan, the mortgage, etc, etc. What's the big deal?
The commenter was right, you cannot compare the suicide rates of employed people of one country in one factory against the entire suicide rate across all demographics of another country.
"Why is it so hyper-urgent for a trade to complete in milliseconds, even if it means selling at rock-bottom price? Isn't that just really dumb programming?"
There's 200+ MILLION shares traded each day within hundreds of thousands of individual buy/sell orders. The NYSE is open for 23400 seconds (9:30-4:00) - You do the math. Not to mention the millions of people with different situations and motivations that buy and sell or at least have some money invested in stocks/mutual funds.
The scale and amount of information is huge and dependent on accurate time-keeping to maintain accurate records.
That's one of the key differences between Western/Eastern cultures. We're (speaking as a Western-raised individual) an individualistic society while they're a collective society (and no, this is in no relation to political theories) You choose any banner - be it race, religion, or nationality - and any group of people raised in a collective society will have more people willing to work/sacrifice themselves for the cause than a comparable group of the same size of people raised in an individualistic society. So think about how easy it would be "turn" someone that shares both race, nationality, and culture...
America (and Britain) with her homogeneous ethnicity (in contrast to nearly any other country in the world) is highly susceptible to this type of infiltration. While China could close the borders and toss any white, black, or hispanic person out on their ass, it'd never fly here - especially after the internment camps of WWII. As such there's no effective defense against this.
What exactly does that have to do with the question I posed? Communism has been directly responsible for the deaths of 100 million people, yet this communist is worried about individual rights?
Instead of making a comment to defend communism or correct my misunderstanding, you make a snide comment on my nationality. Kinda sad really.
"Where it has been tried except in tribal communities and modern days communes?"
Well, if it didn't work in either of theses cases, nor in any more modern country, where exactly is it supposed to work - if at all?
Please show me a society in which no participant has any desire for power, money, or both. Capitalism isn't great, but Communism has only served those who've used it to gain power and money.
Did someone mistake Mafia Wars as something other than a business practice? They make money off of those who think it's worth spending money to have an imaginary gun better than the other free imaginary guns. The "hardcore gamers" run scripts, bots, and generally try to cheat the system at every turn while not spending any money.
If the anti-bot/script stuff bothers your enjoyment of a free online game, go find another?
You want the teachers to get paid? Then stop with ridiculous retirement plans that siphon off huge amounts of money to pay the retired teachers.
My grandmother was a teacher, stopped teaching 30 years ago but still makes over 30k/year in retirement, plus medical. My Father was a teacher, stopped teaching 10 years ago and still brings in 25k/year in retirement, plus medical
You realize in Minnesota we spend 11,000 dollars per student per year (Gen E-12 education fund plus property tax levies (9 Bil)/ 823k students) - or $330,000 dollars to teach a class of 30 students. In some districts, over half the money spent on education goes to pay teachers that arn't teaching anymore.
You want more money for teachers and students? Say FUCK YOU to the Union, take the pension away and give them a 401k like the rest of us. Then in 30 years once the current entitlement tit-suckers have died off we might have a chance.
So your basing your opinion on that? Appalling, but legally correct. Look deeper into the case and think about the ramifications.
Regardless, All the other networks have been blasted for inaccurate reporting as well. All the other networks are considered biased by someone. The fact that you single out FOX and only FOX leads to the assumption that you are just as polarized.
I watch both Fox and CNN, and if there's something I hear that isn't being broadcast or that I think is inaccurate, I research it. I'm not saying trust Fox, I'm saying don't trust anyone to make your conclusions for you.
The fact that you claim Murdoch's organizations are biased just proves your paper is as well.
You want to find the truth? Research it for yourself instead of reporting on whatever is said by whoever you tend to agree with.
Bullshit. I bought the game for $20 without ads. What the hell gives them the right to change the game content of something I've already bought and paid for (a year ago!) Next they'll be changing the music or lyrics of song I bought.
"Geez, you got a story here where there just HAPPENED to be found evidence, a long time AFTER the fact, where the finders have every reason to want to find it and weeks of opportunity of "finding" said information.

The case could be made that they didn't discover this tampering until they started getting the machines ready for the election for his replacement.

Because there's a significant age correlation to these reports of sudden acceleration.

dunno which 3.99 one's he's talking about, but it's feasible considering the cost of these.

You are supporting communism! Thats right, the CEO of Huawei is a fully paid up member of the Chinese Communist Party.
I'm pretty sure every rich and powerful person in China is a paid up member of the Communist Party. I doubt they'd be rich and powerful otherwise.

He's a Communist. Why is he worrying about the rights of an individual?
When it takes a man to make up a quote from God, then God is definitely dead.
Not having been there, for me to believe either quote would be an act of faith.

You saw the rates when you signed the papers. Not anyone's fault but yours. And no, I didn't want a bailout for GM or the banks either.
