What good will that do in a socialist country like Iceland?
"Ah Ha! You have breast cancer in your family. You'll get the same free treatment as everyone else! Ah Ha!"
The Ministry of Health is responsible for the overall administration of health affairs and matters relating to health insurance.The health sector is regulated according to the Health Service Act of 2007 by which all inhabitants have right of access to the best possible health service at any given time for the protection of their mental, social and physical health. The main objectve of the Act on the Rights of Patients of 1997 is to ensure that there is no dicrimination against patients on grounds of gender, religion, beliefs, nationality, race, skin color, financial status, family relation or status in other respect.
The health service in Iceland is primarily financed by central government. Financing is mainly based on taxes or 85% and 15% is fee for service.
The country is divided into health care regions, each with their own primary health care centres, some of which are run jointly with the local community hospital. The primary health care centers have the responsibility for general treatment and care, examination, home nursing as well as preventive measures such as family planning, maternity care and child health care and school health care.
Hospitals in Iceland may be ranked as specialized teaching hospitals, general hospitals and community hospitals. Hospitalization is free of charge. The specialized hospitals perform most operations and procedures in all specialist medical fields. The health service is staffed by trained and qualified professional groups.
Life expectancy in Iceland (2003) is among the highest in the world. Average life expectancy at birth for females is 82,5 years and for males 78,7 years. Infant mortality is among the lowest in the world, 2,4 per 1000 live births.

And he's not bribing anyone to do anything. I don't see how anyone can read that post as anything other than a complete hypothetical. "What if" you were to do this.
First, It was $6B of Yahoo Stock, not $6B cash. I'm sure there are laws on how much you can sell and when.
From Broadcast.com's Wiki.
The record IPO made instant financial successes out of the company's employees through stock options, making 100 employees millionaires on paper (although most of them were unable to exercise their options and sell their shares before the stock price dropped) and founders Cuban and Wagner billionaires.
Second, it may have been 'pure luck' it doesn't look like this was his only venture into entrepreneurial endeavors.
Finally, that's still $2B dollars. From what I've read and the brief interaction in the time I met him (IU vs Purdue Alumni Rugby Match. Flew up in his personal Jet.) He has to be hands down one of the coolest Billionaires I've heard of.
He supported Grokster in the MGM vs Grokster case. He buys random companies and starts random websites. Like bailoutsleuth "a grassroots, online portal for oversight over the US government's $700 billion dollar "bailout" of financial institutions."
Not to mention he spouts off to NBA refs and other players. And shrugs his shoulder when they fine him. "Cuban has been fined by the NBA, mostly for critical statements about the league and referees, at least $1,665,000 for 13 incidents". (Matching each fine with a donation to a Charity). When he said something against Dairy Queen, he voluntarily worked at a DQ for a day.
You can't honestly tell me if you came up with some idea (no matter how stupid) and convinced someone to buy it at the height of a bubble. You wouldn't take your billions and have a ball. Spending the rest of your life drinking, flying around in your jet, yelling at professional sports officials, supporting any cause you thought was cool.
Hell. You could have a "Chyeld Day" on slashdot. Pay off Taco to change banner at the top for a few million.
I'm waiting until the Declaration of Independence is banned as 'propaganda'.
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Which is why PrePaid rocks. Other than sales tax on the amount. There are no 'hidden charges'. There are some pretty impressive 'unlimited' plans available for relatively cheap. With Google Voice you could have 100 different numbers and no one would notice.
Bah. Recycle 100% of it. Who wouldn't want a glowing paper weight? Mobsters could give people uranium boots, so much more compact. Think of how tiny you could make the heads of hammers with something like spent uranium. The possibilities are endless!.
At least you can print PowerPoints. I had numerous good teachers print out all the slides in the 'notes' layout. Where 1/2 the page was the slide and the other half was blank. 3 hole punch it and toss it in your folder.
1) It kept you from wasting time replicating something that already existed 2) You could still mark it up in your own words so that you knew what it meant.
Some even had tablet PCs that they would write on the presentation and send out that marked up version after class.
PowerPoint, Whiteboards, Chalk, etc are just tools. Professors have been good and bad at implementing tools since the beginning of time.
One of the best professors I knew came to class with only 4 color markers. No prepared notes, no book, no equation sheet. The school rewarded him with a semester off because too many of my idiotic classmates failed his class one semester. (Where as classes in the previous 20 semesters he taught seemed to muster up at least 80% passing).
What I notice is that my skin temperature is always warm, especially compared to women. In fact, I am very comfortable when the temperature is around 15deg inside. I go outside on a 5deg day in nothing more than a sweater and a top hat.
When my metabolism was at its peak, after sophomore year wrestling. I went back to my old diet. I had been craving the curly fries in the cafeteria for over 4 months. I ate 2. It had to have been near 4000 calories. However since my metabolism was still at its peak, I was literally dripping sweat the rest of the day. I went outside in Jan 0F (-17C) and finally felt comfortable. I spent almost a half hour outside in nothing but a T-shirt and jeans before my fingers started to feel cold.
It's the same now. When it starts getting cold in Dec I feel cold. When I start a good workout regime in Jan it's suddenly fine to walk back to my car in a T-shirt. (I work out Jan -> March. Rugby March - October. Eat like I used to in Nov/Dec + the Holidays. Gain back the 20 lbs and start it all over.
An analogy I once heard was the metabolism is like a fire. You can toss a huge log on and it'll take forever to burn or keep tossing on twigs and kindling and have it burn hot, but you have to keep feeding it kindling.
So another way to help weight loss is to not change what you eat, but when. When I go on diets I move from 2-3 meals a day to 8-9. Almost snacks. (DO NOT snack all day). If you ate 200 calories for 10 hours vs eating 2000 calories RIGHT before bed, you'll probably notice a change.
I know I wanted a Discovery or TLC show quite a few years ago that stated this same thing. I don't know why this is 'new' news.
If you speak french to a french baby, they calm down. If you speak another language (with radically different phonemes) they don't respond to it any different than a random noise.
Slashdot Mirror
I've been running debian unstable for almost 3 years now and I've never had anything major broken. And nothing broken for more than a week.
(And things really weren't "broken" it just refused to install because dependancies weren't met).
Heck testing can be newer than Ubuntu because of their "we lock to this version for the next 6 months" policy.
Try Debian Unstable.
It's almost always newer than Ubuntu. Stuff is updated very regularly and you don't have to mess around with PPAs.

Last I checked AMD just finally released XvBA with features that VDPAU had last year.

The math starts to get interesting. At $1,000 per site average times 100k sites, thats only $1 Billion Dollars.
Correct me if I'm wrong. But wouldn't $1000 for 100k sites be $100M? Unless it's that weird thousand/million/millard that the British use.

a-z 0-9, then add 2 digits, then 3, then 4. That should last you a while.
I didn't mean couldn't "feel" entirely. I'm sure they plenty enjoy it too, but you can't tell me cutting off a bundle of nerve endings has no affect.
And I thank my parents (in spirit) and say "Thanks I can actually feel sex."
Cut your finger tips off and get back to me on how sensitive they are to things.
Sabnzbd + RSS
It's as damn near VOD as you can get. An hour long HD TV program in 15 minutes. 30 minute SD TV in 3-4.
As much as I loved Bittorrent. The $11/month is worth it. NzbMatrix has TONS of old movies that would never be popular enough to be on BT.
Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
NONE of those professions have unions. (Not so sure about accounting, but given they're good with numbers I'm going to side with no).
Medicine it goes against the Hippocratic oath.
Engineering it goes against something which is slipping my mind right now.
Unions are nothing more than big babysitters now.

LSB or MSB?
Signed or Unsigned?

So this change is a change to the contract. If they change your contract, you can get out of it for free.
Everybody else dropped out because he made them work too hard, boo hoo.
F=0. How dumb were the people you went to college with? Hell that was the first class in college I got a 100% on a test on.

CashBack? Last Christmas Live cashback was up to 30%. I milked the hell out of that for Christmas presents.
Now it fluctuates between 5 and 10%, nothing big but it's not bad.
As far as actually using it for its intended purpose, nah.
