I'm not saying there aren't problems, retard. I'm saying that the way America's health care is set up encourages cutting-edge care even if not everyone has access to it. You're making the implicit assumption that everyone has a right to health care and that if that isn't the case, the system as a whole is completely worthless. That's called "throwing the baby out with the bath water" in other circles.
Yet people still come from around the world and pop across the border from your beloved Canada to seek treatment in the US, because it's the best in the world. I wonder why that is?
The only ones I've run into that won't charge certain phones are Motorola chargers. Screw Motorola. I will not buy another thing from them, and I encourage everyone I know to do the same.
You make a pretty glaring assumption. If they pay for his cell phone, why would they want to pay for an additional land line? It's a lot easier to have just one number to contact someone no matter where they are.
Force = delta momentum/delta time. If you calculate the change in momentum over the time it was in contact with the wire, you should have the overall force. Google will help you find all the nice physics formulas you need.
In the US, you have to buy hardware of some sort to get an OEM version. Lots of online shops will get around that by giving you a "free" power Y adapter or something similarly cheap with the OEM versions.
What proof do you have of that? Any energy source that would allow transport would allow mass farming like we currently have. It was in the 70s when we started eating more chicken, and it was connected to being cheaper and being healthier for you than other meats.
It's called "impulse". Impulse is how quickly the force is transferred between the objects, which is faster with a solid (ice) chicken than with a thawed one. And then you have the force per area, which is larger with a thawed chicken because it deforms on contact whereas a frozen chicken concentrates almost all the force on a small area.
Except that the Windows 7 default 64bit install starts as a 4GB DVD, but balloons out to a 20GB on-disk size. And that's not including an office suite and so on, like Linux distros do.
I watch commericals periodically on my DVR. It just has to catch my attention... there is a ton of tripe out there that's based on the assumption that you have a captive audience that doesn't have a choice. Advertising doesn't have to be bad or annoying... it just is because they can get away with it.
Wow. I've got a Blackberry 8800, and it's GPS will show (correctly) whether I'm near the front or the back of my house. I noticed my wife's G1 will lock on similarly accurately when it finally locks, but it doesn't lock to GPS nearly as well as my crackberry. I'm actually thinking about the new MyTouch (aka HTC Magic), since she got the G1 with my contract extension due to her old Windows mobile phone being a POS.
Someone has to pay to keep juice flowing to the servers. Either the app is free/cheap and advertisers pay for it, or it costs and arm and a leg and a subscription and they load it with all kinds of content. If someone were smart and working on building these apps and a business model, they'd do like Google does and put "preferred" results up top, but let all of them through.
The problem is that it almost certainly includes onerous DRM, which will end up biting a lot of the users in the end. Microsoft has shown that they don't care about their customers by turning off Plays for Sure servers before. I'm not inclined to trust them.
Right. And get every city to update it with every tax bill they pass, each state, and so on. For each product type, when some jurisdictions call a soda a "snack" and tax it that way, while others call it a "food" and tax it another... tax codes are NOT simple. Local sellers only have to keep up with the exact spot that they're selling from. Online merchants have no way to reliably get all those numbers, and there's no realistic way to provide them without someone taking advantage of the system.
You make the assumption that those postal code and tax rate tables even exist. Every single city in the US can have various local taxes, combined with each county, and then state, and so on. Each tax different for different types of products. If you have a business operating in that county, you know what you need to charge and it is the only tax rate you need to charge. An online retailer trying to deal with taxes everywhere they could ship? Impossible. It's nowhere near as "simple" as you claim.
See, now you're asking people to make critical decisions affecting their own security, with the vast majority of them having no way to realistically evaluate the actual security. You're intentionally calling forth the demons of being Unskilled and Unaware of It. People will overestimate their security on their shitware ridden Windows machines, or check their bank accounts from home and work and the library... if the preferences are per-user, that's horribly insecure. If it's per user+IP, it will confuse normal users and anger them. It's better to leave it as secure as possible from any possible login point. You shouldn't ever underestimate the stupidity of the average person, especially when it's a subject they don't care about.
Thing is that it's trivial for most people to shoulder surf a password. It takes significantly more skill for someone to install a keylogger, tap cables, whatever. A coworker that has a beef with someone else could easily shoulder-surf a Facebook password, log in on their own time and cause all kinds of mischief without much technical knowledge. It's not stealing money, but that's the kind of thing that affects people a lot.
Yes. I also hate changing the radio station in my car. Preferences have their place. Hell, look at that first example in that email there, about the number of posts to display. When I shop at Newegg, I like showing 50 items per page because I have a fast Internet connection, lots of memory and it makes it easier for me to find things. Most people are perfectly fine with 25. What you should do is choose reasonable defaults. Let users change things if you can allow them to and it makes sense, and choose something you think most people will like for the default. But don't get rid of the choice. That makes your system less usable, not more.

Well, just tell him to bring the guests from the engine room up to the bridge then

Shit. That not only will sell me the app, but I'll buy the phone as well. Been looking for an excuse to get a G1...

It's sad because it's true.
Which is fine. But this story is about companies claiming copyright over the original stories, the public domain ones.
In this country we used to have the notion that you can't lock someone up unless they actually harm/try to harm someone else.
There, fixed that for you.
I don't know if I agree with that statement...

They have to pump their own water... do you really think they have many Nintendos? Are you stupid, or do you just act that way?
