drop every single SEP-based lawsuit against every manufacturer and do not launch another lawsuit seeking damages nor injunctions for SEP patents ever again - or be fined. Period.
And let every manufacturer make products in violation of those SE patents without paying royalties in the knowledge that there will be no consequences for this? You know that the "F" in FRAND does not stand for "Free", right?
Taxes in excess of those required to fulfill constitutional mandates. Easy.
Oh please. I am fairly sure that the constitution doesn't specify the building of roads, bridges, provision of education, etc., but every person in the country benefits from these.
The elephant in the room that very few people are talking about is cutting the military-intelligence-industrial complex.
There doesn't seem to be great outrage at the possiblity of default, which could have catastrophic effects on the US economy if it resulted in the US Dollar's reserve currency status being downgraded -- if a significant proportion of those dollars currently held by other countries were sold, it would be dire. Any impact on the economy from the ACA would pale into insignificance in comparison to compromise of reserve currency status.
So where is the outrage at the small number of Republicans who are threatening this?
The flip side of that is, of course, that 1 out of every 100 births will require extraordinary measures. So let's just go ahead and say that we're 99% accurate in spotting the high risk OB pts (which is quite generous, believe me.), that means that 1 out of every 10,000 "normal" births will require resuscitation.
Your calculations assume that there are no risks that are associated with hospital births (and not present with home births). I don't know the numbers, but it must be more than zero.
What, you think that insurance companies will actually offer contracts that don't allow them to terminate the contract (or doesn't allow them to raise the rates to the affected individuals so that they cannot afford to continue the insurance) if the individual's medical costs get too high, unless the law forces them to do so? You must live in some other country.
The nation has always been divided by 2 extremist minorities with a large middle that dislikes both of them.
Where is this extreme left wing minority? If you think that Obama is left wing, all I can say is wow, just wow. In any other western country, Obama would probably be considered moderate right-wing or perhaps centrist.
No, they'd also have lots of cool effects where text is flying all around their screens and they would use a l33t cracking tool called WhoIS to find out who really owns a domain.
Except that the "whois" would be wrapped in a web page that put up a flashing "Searching" image for about 5 seconds, while it cycled through images of many website home pages in a small window, until it produced the results, along with an image of the account holder, except where the storyline demanded that it was a proxy registration, in which case it would be implied that only criminals use proxy registrations to hide their identity.
Cabinet ministers and members of the national security council were^H^H^H^H told^H^H^H^H^H^ asked nothing about the existence and scale of the vast data-gathering programs...
There was a "Yes Minister" episode that went over this ground, let's see if I can find some quotes: This isn't what I was looking for, but it is a start:
[Bernard pulls the Prime Minister away from Luke for a private conversation.]
Hacker: You just said that the Foreign Office was keeping something from me! How do you know if you don't know?
Bernard: I don't know specifically what, Prime Minister, but I do know that the Foreign Office always keep everything from everybody. It's normal practice.
Hacker: Who does know?
Bernard: May I just clarify the question? You are asking who would know what it is that I don't know and you don't know but the Foreign Office know that they know that they are keeping from you so that you don't know but they do know and all we know there is something we don't know and we want to know but we don't know what because we don't know! Is that it?
Hacker: May I clarify the question: Who knows Foreign Office secrets, apart from the Foreign Office?
Bernard: Oh, that's easy: only the Kremlin.
Or this one (still not the exact quote I want to find):
Bernard Woolley: Well, I wondered if there was anything he doesn't know?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Well, I hardly know where to begin, Bernard.
Perhaps my memory is failing me. Here's another one which is close, but not quite:
James Hacker: But it wasn't my fault. I didn't know he was being bugged.
Bernard Woolley: Prime Minister, you are deemed to have known. You are ultimately responsible.
James Hacker: Why wasn't I told?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: The Home Secretary might not have felt the need to infrom you.
James Hacker: Why?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Perhaps he didn't know either. Or perhaps he'd been advised that you did not need to know.
James Hacker: Well I did need to know.
Bernard Woolley: Apparently the fact that you needed to know was not known at the time that the now known need to know was known, and therefore those that needed to advise and inform the Home Secretary perhaps felt that the information that he needed as to whether to inform the highest authority of the known information was not yet known and therefore there was no authority for the authority to be informed because the need to know was not at this time known or needed.
James Hacker: What!
Sir Humphrey Appleby: We could not know that you would deny it in the House.
James Hacker: Well, obviously I would if I didn't know and I were asked.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: We did not know that you would be asked when you didn't know.
James Hacker: But I was bound to be asked when I didn't know if I didn't know.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: What?
Why? Are you a military contractor or employed directly or indirectly by the DOD?
Otherwise, you don't need the military at the size that it is. Do you really think that the trillions of dollars spent in Iraq actually benefitted US citizens?
There's also a legitimate technical interest. If I was given the choice of leaving a complex, dynamic site up and running with no maintenance or support, or putting up a single, static page, I'd opt for the static page every time.
Except they did not do that. The full dynamic website is there, but with an added re-direct to the "website closed" page. RTFA.
In this case, I think that Nvidia is using driver capabilities to sell new chips. What happens is that the chips are designed with a certain feature set, but the driver does not enable all of them. Later, "new" chips are released, but the only real change is a change to the drivers, which now unlock features already in the prior chips.
Well, in many ways, Linux *is* inferior to Windows. Don't kid yourself. Especially for business use.
And you are doing the same as the person I discussed in the GP post.
Because, while Linux doesn't have Active Directory, it has other benefits that Windows does not have. So, if you define your criteria to be "must support Active Directory", then, obviously, Linux doesn't pass. If, on the other hand, you define your requirement as (for example), "must support SELinux", then Linux is your only choice.
As for the "nice GUI tools", they may make manageability easy, but they don't make it efficient.
Pert of the problem is that the typical requirement for an office suite is described as "Work like Microsoft Office". Of course any competing office suite is going to be less good when compared to Microsoft Office using this criterion.
I know someone who is always talking up Windows. He knows that Windows has problems but assumes that Linux has these same problems (which it frequently does not), while highlighting issues with Linux. Put another way, he is blinded to problems in Windows while he exaggerates problems in Linux. I think that this is typical behaviour that has slowed down adoption of Linux.
By July 9, Lavabit still hadnâ(TM)t defeated its security for the government, and prosecutors asked for a summons to be served for Lavabit, and founder Ladar Levison, to be held in contempt âoefor its disobedience and resistance to these lawful orders.â
In my humble and non-judgely opinion, the fact that Lavabit would have had to defeat its own security means that the original decision that allowed collection of metadata without a warrant supported by facts (Smith v. Maryland) should not apply to this case and the government should have had to articulate facts that led to reasonable suspicion in order to obtain a warrant to get metadata from Lavabit.
How many vulnerable systems are due to PHBs who don't want to listen to explanations that the remote access or network configuration they want is insecure?
The rest due to incompetent web developers who have no clue how to build secure web apps.
Once you get past the UI, Windows 8 and Server 2012 are pretty damned good products.
In my experience Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 is an unstable POS. We have this at work, serving a small number of mailboxes and about once per month, it goes haywire, requiring a reboot.

Unfortunately not:

Cheyney obviously watches Homeland, in which the Vice President is killed by remotely acessing his pacemaker.

Actually, Lavabit did hand over their private key. On paper. In the smallest font they could use.
Or, you could take the foreign taxes paid as a credit. " Taken as a credit, foreign income taxes reduce your U.S. tax liability. In most cases, it is to your advantage to take foreign income taxes as a tax credit.. These things are complex and depend also on tax treaties between countries, so your simple example is at best not really helpful and at worst, wrong.

My doctor loved "House", but I think he was somewhat of an anglophile and enjoyed watching anything with Hugh Laurie in it.

OP should turn off his Bittorrent client and the problem will go away.

Nvidia gets it alright. They just don't agree.

What I hate is a micromanager who tells you to do X and then complains that you did not do Y. Yes, I have experienced this.
And you are doing the same as the person I discussed in the GP post.
