Of coarse all that would really mean is immigrants would have to bribe guards to get across. If there's 30,000 guards there are bound to be ones that can be bribed. The only thing that will reduce illegal immigration is for the economic situation in Mexico to get better, or for America to remove the immigration quotas.
It requires a core that was molten at one point. The number of impact craters covering those features indicate there hasn't been a volcanic eruption on the moon in a long time.
I have the same problem with my Dell laptop. For some reson it never happens on my MacBook, even though the touchpad on my MacBook is bigger. I never have problems with the virtual keyboard on my iPad because it only exists on the screen when I am typing.
hand-strain when typing due to jamming your finger into a solid surface repeatedly
I don't think this argument makes sense. On modern touch screens you don't have to apply any pressure at all. Simply touching the screen as lightly as possible is enough. On a physical keyboard you still have to touch the key before you can press down on it.
The baggage fees and nickling&diming for food are indefensible, but it seems they are standard practice in the airline industry these days.
Charging passengers fees based on the services they use is actually pretty easy to defend. Services cost money. If an airline isn't charging for a service then they are including it in the ticket price. Why should I pay for baggage handling if I'm not going to check a bag? Why should I pay for a snack when I can bring my own?
This really shows the difference between a good person and a bad person. You can 't judge someone by how well they treat people they like. By that standard Hitler was a good person. You judge someone by how well they treat people they don't like. By that standard you are a bad person.
We need to protect our children from pedophiles. That doesn't mean we need to do evil things to them.
I really don't see how just throwing out a bunch of diplomatic cables "helps" the democratic process.
It helps the democratic process by making voters better informed. How can Americans be expected to make good decisions if they don't know what's really going on in the world. I don't know if what wikileaks does counts as journalism or whistle blowing, and I don't care. If it makes me better informed I support it.
This was a misunderstanding, and the developers involved should get a warning.
This wasn't a misunderstanding, and the developers should be permanently banned to protect facebook users. Otherwise they will just look for other ways to sell data to make money.
Punishments are for dealing with children who don't know the difference between right and wrong. Adults don't generally change their opinions on what's right when they are punished.
I use mine as an alarm clock. A few weeks ago my brother was asleep on the couch and I couldn't wake him up by calling his name, or poking him in the face, so I set the alarm on my iPhone and it woke him up.
In my experience money has less utility the more you spend. For example $100K vs $10M on a house is the difference between a decent house and a fancy house. Someone who doesn't already own a house would be pretty stupid to spend $100K on a one in 200 chance to get a fancy house instead of just buying a decent house.
It's really not fair for you to blame the people in the van for being killed. They probably had no way of knowing they were in a combat situation. They saw an injured person lying in the street and tried to help him.
AP has a reputation of embedding its reporters within insurgent groups.
I've never heard of a case where there was solid evidence of an AP reporter embedded with insurgent groups. They only evidence that the people killed in this video were insurgents was that they were male and a small number of them had weapons.
They could have had it to deter people from attacking them.
According to wikileaks they didn't mention the RPG because the video isn't clear enough to show that it's an RPG and not something else of a similar size.
They had a suspiciously small number of weapons (I think it was 2 AK's and maybe 1 RPG out of a group of 12) for people who were planning on attacking an American platoon. If they only have three guns why bring 12 people? You're more likely to get spotted. In the video they really don't act like a group of people who know they could come under attack.
In the edited version of the video that was first released by wikileaks it says some ot the people killed were armed, right in the text at the beginning of the video.
Did you read the second paragraph in my post? When I said "Some people might say that these things inevitably happen in war". I was talking about the exact argument you are making. My point is that people in general need to understand that innocent people die in war, even a war fought by Americans, and that's why it is good that the video was released.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. There were no misrepresentations in those videos. An AP reporter really was shot and killed by US armed forces. The van the helicopter shot up really did have children in it (which is a strong indication that they didn't realize they were involved in combat). The video doesn't attempt to claim that they deliberately killed innocent people. The video shows that the army has very low standard of proof in deciding whether someone might be a combatant, and that innocent people die because of it.
Some people might say that these things inevitably happen in war. That's exactly the reason things like this should be made public. People need to know that things like this happen. Right now I get the impression that most Americans believe war is like a hollywood movie where the good guys never kill innocent people.
Traceability of the raw materials to a source heat lot is essentially free. A single heat lot could produce tens of thousands of rulers, so a single metallurgical test may add a penny or two for a whole lot.
That really assumes they manufacture the rulers themselves. Of coarse they make science kits, so they probably buy the rulers from some other company and put them in the box.
Sending them an email asking them to take down the infringing text would be enforcing copyright. Filing a lawsuit without warning and demanding thousands of dollars to settle out of court is extortion.
In this case they're suing someone you don't like, but that's just a happy coincidence. From the article is sounds like the just go to work and sue random people to extort money from them all day. The people who originally wrote the articles don't even benefit from it.
Try this experiment: Hold your finger about half way between your face and the computer monitor. Look at your finger. Without moving your finger look at a specific icon computer monitor, preferably something directly behind your finger. Without looking directly at your finger how many fingers do you see? (The answer should be two). He's talking about the same effect, and it has nothing to do with the actual focus of your eyes, but rather which direction your eyes are pointing. See Stereopsis.
I like to think that what I do at my job benefits other people. How can someone work a job where they harass people into giving them money, and nothing they do could possibly help anyone but themselves. Lawyers who file suits like these have the same effect on society as people who steal for a living. The only difference is they can't get arrested.

AT&T will let you use their smallest (200 mb/month) data plan with the iPhone.

I have a stylus for my iPad. I don't use it. The onscreen keyboard is faster than using a stylus for entering text.
That's not true. Nothing in the apple licensing terms prevents developers from making their source code available to users.

'You know... your magazine...It's just about Android.... we can't have that in our App Store.'.
Are those pauses or are they words that have been edited out, because if they're edits then the quote is probably misleading
There are only two possibilities here:

But iPhone apps are new. An article that says "Surface to air missiles can shoot down airplanes". Just won't get as many readers.
