I have received reliable information that they are, in fact, targeting credit unions today. So, they're either morons who don't know the difference or don't care. I'm leaning toward the latter, but does it matter? They are selfish, reckless people.
Cities that implement red-light cameras think it's cute to actually REDUCE THE LENGTH OF THE YELLOW to increase revenue. This is often illegal, because most places have a legal minimum yellow time of 3-4 seconds.
In a world where there is an "Occupy" movement that wants an anarchy with higher taxes on the rich and corporations, you get used to this kind of cognitive dissonance.
The patent is EXPIRED. The patent HAS NO FURTHER BEARING ON THIS PRODUCT. What Pfizer is doing is leveraging their current relationship with the customers (the pharmacy chains) to continue selling their brand of the product. If your pharmacy wants to have a lucrative agreement with Pfizer to only sell Lipitor, then that's their problem and you should take your business elsewhere. Otherwise, you could approach your state legislature to pass a law requiring that generics be substituted on request as in Pennsylvania, among other states.
That's definitely luxury compared to the days when 16 port switches cost $1000, so we usually ended up linking together a few cheap hubs and enjoying the collisions when someone's ethernet card got jacked or the traffic got too high.
Congress and the President don't have a right given to them in the Constitution that allows them to choose what we drive and where. And the unholy SUV is the whipping boy for the Slashdotter. Have you been paying attention to meatspace lately? The age of the SUV is over. Many of them came off the roads in the last few years and have been replaced by more efficient vehicles. We've either been replacing our SUVs with >25 MPG crossovers or >30 MPG sedans. We've been driving less too. The evidence is the fact that our petroleum usage has gone DOWN. Pick a fight that will actually help us. The American Way that you deride should be the way of freedom, not "standard of living". We don't need "stuff".
Yes, minimum. We can do math! You most assuredly make less than $100K and therefore envy those people and wish to punish them. Also, before setting up a straw man you should note that those "rich" people donate a greater portion of their income to charity than the rest of us "poor" people.
It technically was zero, because he was in for less than a month before he decided to hike tobacco taxes. This has the effect of making poor people decide whether it's worth the cost and health effects, while the rich can continue to pony up if they wish.
And the customer doesn't have to call the bank to report the theft. And they certainly won't we stuck somewhere with no credit when they need it, having the cashier or waiter hand back the card when it comes up with insufficient funds. I'm not going to call them terrorists, but they're Robin Hood only if Robin Hood had stolen from your lord, spent the money however he saw fit, then kicked you in the nuts and fondled your wife before disappearing into Sherwood Forest.
And unlike the previous President, he hasn't been ruling by fiat, executive order and signing statement.
Did you type this with a straight face? And I wonder whether the moderator was LOLing as he modded it up.
Please read this. The numbers are quite the same. And W's weren't quite so... "fiat". How else can to describe ordering the wells in the Gulf to shut down, being told by a federal court that's illegal, and then just resubmitting the order anyway?
Compliance with most security standards pretty much requires rebooting every Windows server at least once a month now after the security updates come out. Hope you never have to deal with that.
I'm not sure we should consider it a privilege when so many of our tax dollars go to pay for those highways, and many of them may only be used by motor vehicles.
It was being robbed from day one! You didn't realize that all the surplus funds were being turned over to the general fund in return for special treasuries, i.e. IOUs? When those treasuries need to be cashed in due to a shortfall, that money comes from the general budget... which, of course, is already heavily in the red.

Dammit, who invited Heisenberg to the dinner party?

High fuel costs have helped destroy the independent trucker.
Having a war economy based on Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" (Slashdot's favorite Republican) helps.

Well, if you're for redistribution of wealth, that's a left-wing view. And if you steal and extort money, I'd call that thuggery.

Wow. Maybe someday we'll be able to completely simulate an Apple III, including dropping it on the desktop to reseat the chips when they overheat.

The LoC's mission is pretty much the opposite of keeping information secret!
That guy must have changed his oil religiously.
Use SLCs and the distinction between block-level and cell-level write cycles becomes moot.
I'm pretty sure this is what disks already do (thus the term "Logical Block Addressing"); you're just adding another level of abstraction.
There were just a couple of shells in there.

Who? Each other? Sounds voluntary.
What's a factoid? Follow-up question: how does it differ from a fact?
