At first I thought it was Dwight Opperman, but probably/maybe not. If it's not him, then it's surprising how cheaply you can get these people to pump out propaganda, but my feeling is that they're not naming all their donors there.
Mr. Beckerman, is it cool for a non-profit to front for a for-profit corporation? What I'm asking in so many words is "can we harass these people by pointing out to the IRS and their state tax people that they're not really a non-profit?"
You may have missed this, but Saddam Hussein started the war in '92 or so when he invaded Kuwait. We (including Clinton) kept him contained for 10 years and finally finished what should have been finished 10 years earlier. As for Afghanistan, we didn't start that, the Taliban did. And we finished it.
Try living under one of those wonderful regimes for 10-15 minutes and see how you like it. I would tell you to post your results here, except they don't allow people like you to have internet.
It's a fucked up place where you can get +4 insightful for that post. Again, read up on history and current events. It's sad how ignorant of reality people can be...
It's sad that people believe that Bush oppresses people just like China. Waterboarding might not be a walk in the park, but it's been applied to three people who were known to be high-level terrorists. We got information from them. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but it's done.
Compare that to China where people who are Falun Gong (a religious movement) get to suffer round-the-clock torture, including mutilation and permanent debilitation, simply to force them to renounce their religious beliefs. I invite you to read up on it, and then tell us how that compares to fake menstrual blood, loud music, and all the other horrible things that go on at Gitmo.
Honestly, it's sad that people can be so utterly ignorant of the realities of this world that they believe George Bush is the epitome of evil.
"The impression that they're not good may just come from their style. They never tell you anything.
Yeah, or, it might be that I (and the rest of America) had to make Steve Hatfill and Richard Jewell millionaires because these guys thought it would be great to make their lives hell by "leaking" to the press that they were being "investigated" when, in fact, they were being set up to take the fall. Given the record of these high-profile cases, there is *no* reason to believe that Ivins is the guy. His death was very convenient for the wrap-up that we're seeing now - "oh well, he's dead but we think he did it so we'll close this case. Say, anybody see the big game last night? is that Madonna over there?"
A US$3,000.00 per student/per year federal voucher will fix education very quickly.
Actually, econ 101 (and the observation of the effect of Pell Grants and student loans on college tuition) says that it'll simply raise the cost of private schools by about US$3,000.00/year.
A better fix is to simply let parents decide which public school in the district their kids will attend in a given year.
Actually it's a language issue that created a misunderstanding of intent. In Congressional terms initiative means starting the process and has nothing to do with creation.
Sigh, why do we have to go over this again and again? The phrase "took the initiative" is an idiom for "I did this", with implications about my motivations and such. Please see here. One cannot "take" a congressional initiative. One can "support" such an initiative, or even start it, but the phrase "take the initiative" has a completely different meaning. That's why it's an idiom.
It's remotely possible that Gore simply misspoke. I was watching that interview and nearly did a spit-take when he made that statement. Nobody twisted his words, but it's possible that he was thinking about initiatives and accidently said that he took one.
Is ACPI trademarked and handed out only to those who are certified? If so, take your findings to the certification authority and try to get them to lose the certification.
And I would disagree. Legos last essentially forever (my first set is now 34 years old and just as good as new) and aren't "dated" anyway. My kids love playing with the same things I did. Plus they get to be creative and learn how to build and solve problems.
As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best toy values out there.
Yes, you're right. This is *another* special case. If someone settles with the BSA, they actually get to print their own money to pay it. That's right! It's not money that they would have otherwise spent on something useful.
In case you don't understand sarcasm, this is known as the "broken window theory". It's well-known to be absolutely wrong.
is this: if a company pirates (arrrrr, mateys!) a piece of software, they immediately take the money that would have been used to buy that software and stick it in an underground vault, never to be seen or spent again. That's why the state gets no tax revenue.
There's nothing about being "an embedded OS" that should make it any more or less stable.
A router should be extremely stable for a few reasons. First, the hardware is well-known, there are few external devices meaning fewer drivers, and drivers are a common area of instability. There are also few, well-known applications that need to run on one.
I know that my linksys wrt54g, with dd-wrt, and a ups, doesn't need to be rebooted. I had a really bad power outage a week ago, but before that the uptime was over 100 days.
I meant who writes the law? Politicians. And, as near as I can figure, it's axiomatic here on/. that they're all as corrupt as humanly possible. So the "law" favors whoever gives them the most money.
It's worse than that. The media company lawyers wrote the DMCA, and greased the right politicians to get it passed. It's funny that they're now angry that their own law apparently wasn't enough for them.
Politicians rarely write these big laws. They're written by special interests and given to their own bought & paid for congressmen to pass.
How on earth did you get modded up to +5? The angle has a huge impact on the amount of energy hitting it - take it to 90 degrees and tell me how much is hitting the panel. Being able to absorb the energy that hits the panel regardless of the angle of incidence is great - but it's still the fact that the panel being perfectly perpendicular to the energy source (i.e. the sun) will maximize the amount of energy available regardless.
Why do you think it gets colder in the winter here? Hint - it's not the earth moving farther from the sun...
Come, now, AP has layers of fact-checkers to make sure they don't get details wrong. They would never be duped by photoshopped missile launches, either, right?
This is an uber product. The ability to generate electricity up to 40 times the amount of existing solar while allowing as low as 10% of the light to enter?
Given that current solar cells are 20-40% efficient, I'm guessing the "40x" statistic is, um, bullshit.
I also question the "we don't have to track the sun" part. If you want maximum efficiency, you do have to track it. At an oblique angle, you have less energy hitting the surface, and hence less power generated.
The reason your fever broke is that your immune system figured out what the invader was and now has the ability to recognize those viruses and kill them quickly. You're not going to get reinfected, so unless someone else uses your laptop regularly, it's not going to matter.
They're arguing that YouTube gets more viewership from copyrighted materials than non-copyrighted stuff, and they want the viewer logs to prove that. Then they'll go after Google and others for more money because they're profiting more from it.
Given that youtube has always lost money, does that mean that Viacom will have to pay Google if Viacom wins?

Go tell that to the next guy you see riding one (who's not wearing a rolex)...
One other note - this stuff ends when the people responsible have to pay the judgements rather than their employers.

The relevant question is: were there 7,000,000,000 people back then?
For the slow learners, the answer is "no".
that reordered the opening ceremony? http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/09/2231231
