I had a staph infection two years ago, and it really was a bummer. Happily it was just at the skin level or I would probably not be here now. We have known for quite a while that staph would eventually beat vancomycin, it was just a matter of time. That's why it was only used in the most dire cases, in the hope of extending the time before it became resistant. It didn't occur because of not following doctor's orders, since it would probably only be used under intensive care like conditions, with either IV or daily distributions of pills. Incidentally, new research has focused on interrupting the communication that Staph does to announce its population is large enough to attack. It doesn't attack right away but waits for numbers to be large enough to overwhelm the immune system. If it can either be triggered to attack before numbers are large enough, or never recieve the attack signal, staph infections would likely be dealt with by the immune system.
If I hire a service to read articles and present a summary of them, that service or person makes a profit off of their services rendered, unless they happen to be my slave. They don't make any money off the tape, its for the editing services rendered. How come editing was great when Jar-Jar was removed, but it is a travesty if a parent removes foul language?
I'm getting more use out of my business law class, wish I saved the book. US Contract law, which generally arises from the British common law, so I would assume it is similar in Canada, but you should check with legal council before proceding, allows you to sign away almost any rights granted to you through a contract. (Wow I even have massive runnon sentances like a lawyer, perhaps I missed a calling.) So they can offer an agreement for you to exchange your legal rights for severance. However, there are a few exceptions, the main one being if the terms are onerous, they can be thrown out by a judge. Although that could be only a part of the Uniform Commercial Code UCC. Also, is there a provision for abritration? That is usually customary if they wish to remove your right to sue. If there is you do have some hope if they try to screw you, but some arbitration boards, are set to rubber stamp managment decisions. Arbitration is usually used to prevent the huge punative damages that can be awarded by juries, also they tend to be quicker than lawsuits, and are highly preferable to a trial. If there was not a provision for abritration, I would think pretty hard about life without severance, if I had any potential greviences.
Actually you do have the right to parade through a jewish neighborhood in full Nazi regalia. The ACLU argued successfully that it is the right of Neo Nazi to march through a Jewish neighborhood. The incident occured in Skokie IL, in the 1970s. It cost them about 30,000 members, and the Nazis decided not to march afte the whole imbruglio, but currently that is protected speech. Very little political speech is not protected, because the courts have taken a very open approach to even the most vile speech in the hope that any positive ideas will be brought to the public forum to be debated and discussed.
Look, I'm pretty conservative, to the point of thinking that Limbaugh is to liberal sometimes, but your analysis of the constitution is too much for me.
Amendment II: (Right to keep and bear arms)
Fully automatic weapons have a high "tax" on them at this point. No more can be produced for anyone but law and military organizations. If you take a legal (preban) fully automatic weapon outside the US it *CANNOT* come back into the US. So they are only getting fewer in number. Now the crusade is on to get rid of assault weapons. For no other reason than they look mean...like a fully automatic weapon. The "People's Republic of California" read(marxist fuckheads) have already banned several of these types. (i.e. ak47, ar15). What's more in this shithole of a "STATE" you cannot own the federally legal fully automatic weaponry even if you do pay the "tax". This doesn't sound to me that they are following the constitution very closely. That part about the "shall not be infringed."...kind of convenient to just ignore that one.
I can see your point, in that it is important on an organizational level that the citizens retain enough force to overthrow their government, if it becomes tyrranous, but a few assult rifles will not change the current balance, and the right to own one is not infringed, it is just made more difficult. Infringment means exceeding the breaking boint, according to dictionary.com, and while more difficult, a tax does not prevent all but the poorest citizens from obtaining one. Realize that especially in certain regions, the population density, is much higher than anyone could have imagined.
Amendment VII: (Excessive bail, etc.)
HAHAHA...this happens all the time.
I don't know about bail, you will have to provide some examples of excessive bail. However, the pre-trial siezure of those accused of drug crimes seems to violate the 6th amendment.
Amendment X: (Constitutional rights and states rights)
The "people's republic of California" and doubtless other states violate this one all the time.
Unless specifically prohibited by the constitution the states are reseverd all powers not specifically given to the federal government. It would be dificult for a state to violate this. It was put in place to limit the federal government.
Amendment XIII: (Abolition of Slavery)
This one is violated everytime there's a draft. In fact it was challenged and the Supreme court said that it didn't apply!?!?! How the frickin' hell does "...or involuntary servitude...) *NOT* apply! In times of draft it's "you" go here and "die". And "you" say I don't wish to, they put you in jail or force you at the point of a gun. That's pretty fucking involuntary to me! If you doubt this do a search for XIII and draft on the supreme court historical rulings. It was challenged 2x and TWICE the court just kind of ignored the constitution and upheld the draft!
Article I Section 8 Gives congress the authority to raise a navy, and provide for calling forth the militia, and creating laws to govern it. It seems like this would preempt the ban on slavery, and their is a provision for true contientious objectors.
Finally, deportation or loss of citizenship might be a better solution than death. And not appointing them for life, means that a single president, with the advice and consent of the senate all the judges in the country. Trust me, that is a bad idea, the whole point of the judiciary was to create a slow contemplating arm of government that would limit the amount of change that a single admisistration or congressional class could accomplish. Also, they can be impeached by congress for violating "good behavior" this would be better than assasination.
There is nothing keeping you here, if you so desire to emmigrate to Russia, there is nothing in the US to stop you. There are lots of examples of bad individual leaders, judges, and laws. However, on the whole the system works pretty darn well. We do not have a perfect system, but it is pretty darn good, and beats about every other system in existance. I am getting really tired of people insulting our system of government with no reasonable ideas for improvement.
Don't try make your kids cookie cutters of you! All parents seem to try to do this, and the extreme ones can have disasterous results like the kids feel like a failure, because they did not meet their folks expectations. Let your child grow up in their own way, if she likes reading, let her read. If she finds her own path through life, she is likely to be much happier than if she tries to follow Mom's or Dad's footsteps.
A happy geek who left engineering to do finance, and whose parents supported the whole way him even though one is an engineer.

Sun To Sell Linux PCs
·
· Score: 1
His point is that this isn't the first time that Sun has tried cheap clients to get at Microsoft, and coincedentally sell more servers. They tried several generations of JavaStations and SunRays, the last few looked pretty cool, and were competitive with PCs for initial hardware cost. None of them sold well, even with Sun selling them at a loss. However, I think the problem here is that over their life, 20+ PCs cost less to maintain than a single server. Even if the maintenence is self done by users, or a MCSE TP diploma type. While the Sun solution might result in a better system, it looks to be more expensive at the onset, so few businesses even consider it. That being said, I have always liked their idea of a card that carries all of my settings from terminal to terminal.
That is actually included in most Microsoft enterprise agreements. They give you the right to install on your home system, so long as you use it for at least 20% of your work. Most of the really expensive database software & Solaris has provisions allowing personal licenses for free, if you can download it. Now with Soloaris 9 Sun cut back a little, but if you are using smaller SPARC machines, I think you can still download it for free.
That happened to me too, what really torqed me about it was that he took a card out of a boxed set, yeah I know I shouldn't have opened it, but I was 10 or something. Happily I found another one about a year later.
They have a vested interest in seeing your mailbox fill up, so they can sell you a larger more expensive mailbox. So any spam killing and additional users must be balanced against the slower fill up rate.
I use a series of rules in outlook to do something similar. I don't know if other email programs support this feature to the same level. But in outlook you can create rules to move email to a folder, or delete it, reply to it, etc. based on sender, words in the subject, body, or nearly any other attribute. Mine is to sort email into company folders, as I work for a pension fund, and recieve 50+ research emails a day. It also keeps my inbox empty, since the company folders are off the exchange server. Most of the people deleted anything unread (usually several hundred) more than a week old before I showed them how to use rules to sort the stuff. Email me if you want more info about them, they are under the tools menu. Not quite as good as a Bayesian solution, but pretty good nonetheless.
I thing its similar to Beige combined with an That's a short a, I don't know how to represent it here. Others are likely to correct me, but the only way to circumvent them are to make your spams different from other spams and similar to your normal mail. There isn't a single way to get on a good list, since there is no single good list, only attributes that make it more or less likely to be a Spam.
First people overuse anything that doesn't have proportional costs, and you would end up with people bribing, or using influence on those who assign the lawyers to get better ones. There is no way to make a system that is completely fair, we have chosen something that tries to make things as fair as possible, by using money as the method of exchange. While money is a close approximation of talent and desire, it isn't distributed fairly. Finally the current system keeps alot of baseless cases out of the courts, becuase those who would like to bring them can not afford it. These people could bring suits, are you ready for a lawsuit each time you annoy someone. Even if you always win, you still have to appear in court and defend yourself.
Not that I like all of the philosophies exposed in it, but I have been reading Atlas Shrugged. One of the main points it shows is the problem with a society that removes money at the currency of accomplishment. Influence quickly replaces it, and nothing changes.
There are some people who work for this, Prison Fellowship is one of the better known ones. They are a religious organization, but one of their goals is to move non-violent offenses to making the victim whole, and more focus on rehabilitating violent offenders. They also collect gifts for prisoner's families at Christmas in one of the nicest things, I've ever heard about. It was started by a former Nixon official who was sent to prison as a result of Watergate, while he was there his life was changed, and he works with prisoners to improve the system. Its pretty sad that currently the biggest punative part of prison is the rapes that are not supposed to be happening.
EA holds exclusive licenses with both companies. GT did use RUF, a tuner of Porsches as a way to get around the licenses. Although the focus of GT is import tuning, they have always included the super cars like Saleen or TVR for when you have silly amounts of game money to spend.
Actually I think they have to pay for the cars, the billboards and walls shown might make them some money, and some of the cars less well known cars might pay for the designers also I don't know about the race modified cars with brands might pay GT as well, but they don't include some brands because they cannot get a license (Ferrari and Porsche). I think Subaru was pretty surprised by the popularity of their Impreza WRX from that and other rally games, so it might switch to product placement eventually.
I had 2k running fine on a P2 266 with 384 MB of ram, Win2k loved ram not processing power. Open office took a little longer than usual to start up, but IE or Opera were fine for browsing. I could even get Q3 running pretty well with less of the eye candy at 800 x 600.
Same thing happened to me, so I bought more ram, happily that was all I really needed. Best purchase I have made all year, but I'm taking the Ram with me when I leave.
If you didn't get it already, there was a scamster in turn of the century new york who would attempt to sell the Brooklyn bridge to immigrants who had usually just landed in America, and believed that the opportunity was so vast here that they could actually buy the bridge. It has entered the lexicon as the proverbial scam. Although some parts of the country now prefer swampland in Florida. I think that is a more recent scam involving extremely cheap land in Florida that happened to be located in the middle of the everglades swamp, which meant it was worthless, unuseable, and quite likely not yours.
You are likely to lose a very minute amount as a gas, which will eventually leave the earth's gravitational pull, hydrogen isn't dense enough to remain on earth. However losses would be small enough to ignore.
Actually most luxury cars have or are moving to drive by wire these days. I know the Infinity Q45, G35, and Nissan 350Z all use it, and I think some of the German luxury name plates are introducing it at the high end. I'm not exacly sure what the advantages are in cars, except Gee-Whiz factor, maybe fuel efficiency. Its been used in fighter jets for a few years, since the controls got too touchy for people to use directly.
