Then vote for Bush. If not, don't worry about your taxes - Kerry will pay for what needs to be paid for by cutting corporate welfare, cutting tax cuts for the rich, and rolling back the excessive pork spending of a republican congress coupled with a republican president.
It's not skewed to the left. It's skewed to the middle, and the middle is skewing to Kerry.
Not because Kerry is a great guy, but because Bush is SO bad, and has screwed us over SO much, that we can't even consider voting for a 3rd party anymore.
Bush vs. Clinton, I could see picking either side based on your values. Clinton vs. Dole, I could see picking either side based on your values. Bush vs. Gore, I could see picking either side based on your values.
But now we know better. If you support Bush, it's because you will support whoever is the Republican candidate NO MATTER WHAT. You just can not rationally support Bush. Everything he has done is wrong.
A monkey can stay the course, and they're much cheper.
Verisign doesn't care. They just need to convince people that these USB keys somehow protect their children. It doesn't matter if it ACTUALLY works, just that people BELEIVE that it works. In fact, it's probably better for verisign if it doesn't work, as it's less work for them.
The goal isn't to protect children, the goal is to get $20/year from every kid who accesses the internet. Neat trick.
Do they let the participants have contact with each other?
If I had been in this study, they would have concluded that quitting the internet was hazardous to your health. There would have been some casualties after 2 weeks of deprivation.
It fails to extend itself beyond the initial hypothesis. This is a classic equilibrium problem. The thesis assumes that bots will go everywhere, usually win, and real players will stop playing.
Except that this can not be true.
First, one must notice that online poker is played in various rooms, with various betting levels. The better players, obviously, play in higher-stakes rooms, as they can win more money.
So, lets start putting bots into the equation. Lets say the bot is "very good", and can win 80% of its hands at a 5-person table. So the bot goes in, and has a serious advantage.
Until another bot shows up. Now each bot gets 40% of the wins - and....
It no longer makes any sense for bots to play poker, as they're losing more money than they're winning. Remember, even bots still have to put money up front.
So you'll get an equilibrium, where you might have a few bots running around high-stakes rooms, but by and large, it won't be profitable to actually run bots since you'll lose more money to other bots than you'll be able to steal from players.
It's clear that the vast majority of the people in the pictures are posing for the pictures - i.e. they know their picture is being taken. Additionally, most of the pictures are in public. There probably isn't a whole lot of expectation that your picture won't be taken/distributed if you're posing for a picture in public.
The copyright on the pictures is owned by whoever took them. I'd imagine whoever posted them might owe the owner of the memory stick a few bucks. Hopefully that guy has a sense of humor.
Weather simulation is not a tast you can cut up into a bunch of smaller tasks and farm out. If you cut the atmosphere up into lots of little chunks to model, after each step every chunk needs to know what the results from all the chunks around it where.
If you're waiting for those results at Internet (Latency: 100ms) speeds instead of intra-system speeds (latencyL 1 us) it takes you 100,000 times as long to get your data.
With SETI, all you do is get the data once, compute, and send back the answer.
I'm apalled that we are polluting Antartica with this radioactive material. What if the phone melts down? This could have devastating consequences for all of Antartica's residents.

Generally, smart people.

Iraq is not a US, EU or UN state; it is a soverign country.
Iraq is a US territory.
That's ok.
Everyone knows Dwarves have better technical aptitude, are more comfortable in confined spaces, and have higher strength and constitution to boot.
for communication with its fleet of nuclear submarines, both in Wisconsin and Michigan
Yet more evidence that we must vote Kerry - Bush has our nuclear subs stationed in the Midwest.
Or at least my girlfriend tells me I'm well above average...
But I'm already 8% into my 2 GB two months into the new expanded Yahoo. At this rate, I'll have used up my 2 gig at 26 months or so.
One part of this post is true, and one false. Can you guess which is which?
If an advertisement falls into an unused email account, is it still spam?

All you need to see through smoke or fog is a few extra OpenGL commands. It's not limited to just fog/dust either, you can even snipe through walls!

Things also become cheap because manufacturing technology improves, and it becomes cheaper to actually manufacture the item in the first place.
Corps HATE losing money.
Right, because individuals just LOVE to lose it.
It stops running if I don't fill up the tank every 300 miles.

AU$150 in charges for that download alone
So that's like, what, in real dollars? A quarter? That's less than using the pay phone!
Do I support it because it's a good idea, or condemn it because it's Microsoft's idea?
Do I condemn this transgression on someone's privacy, or do I support it because there's a Tri-Delt being exploited?
I had some photos of my then girlfriend in various comprimising positions
Now we *KNOW* you're lying.

How am I supposed to have any fun if I can't accidentally get separated from the wife?
It's going to be a huge problem when these people wander near the sharks with frickin' RFID-tracking laser beams attached to their heads.
Consuming a whole beer will give you a slight buzz, but consuming a whole tennis ball will kill you.
