It's not the lawyers or the developers, it's the fact that Obama was trying to sell insurance instead of telling the experts to figure out a way to provide universal coverage. Obama is a president, he should act presidential, assign the task to the experts and let them do it. Instead Obama tried to take total control and screwed it up bad. At least if he assigned it to someone and they screwed it up he could blame someone, but Obamacare literally has his name all over it
Toyota says their cars don't unintentionally accelerate either but now we're going to give the car computer complete control? No thanks, I will stick to my manual transmission.
How can a "civilized" country justify releasing a mass murderer after only 20 years? And american prisons are pretty lax, some could call prison fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSqIxBlleOU&sns=em
But data transfer is essentially free compared to electricity, gas and water. Whether I download 1 megabyte or 500 megabytes it does not cost the ISP any more. Data caps is like air breathing caps or sun solar rays caps, it just doesn't make sense. If anything they need the opposite, minimum viable tranfer speeds, so these ISPs can't lie about the transfer rate. Bandwidth caps only hurt Netflix, YouTube (google), and any other website that uses high bandwidth which means less taxes for the govt. Why would th govt want LESS money? Is the govt going to tell us to stop spending so much money and hide it under our mattress so they get less taxes? More bandwidth = more consuming = more money to tax.
And how exactly would you fight it? Go to court, sit there for hours and the judge throws it out? Or maybe hire an attorney to fight the $100 fine? This sounds like the same business model that stoplight cameras use, sure you can fight it, but it costs more to fight the ticket then just pay $100
And they want young programmers because they will put up with more shit, not because they write better code. No wife, no kids, no other responsibilities but the job, so they can use them all up working insane hours and pay them nothing and kick them out in 5 years when they finally say I can't handle this torture. Rinse, repeat.
Robot is $16,000, not $1,600, although considering its just a cheap i3 laptop on top of a cheap r/c car I think even $1,600 is too much. Put a $100 ptz surveillance camera on a $100 toys r us r/c car with $100 in batteries and you have essentially the same thing, actually better because the beam robot doesn't even offer zoom
Agreed. Shame droid will never be able to experience that since they can never get away from Micro USB. Even if a new USB standard did come out any phone using it would be chastised for years for using a "proprietary" standard.
Strange droid never figured this plug design out since human anatomy works the same way;) oh right, droid, they're not properly equipped;)
Crap you're right, and my dell laptop charger doesn't charge my HP! Wtf!/sarcasm no but seriously, there's two phone chargers: Apple lightning and micro usb. I don't see a problem with that. And lightning is better because it can go in either way (micro usb is positional) and lightning has a chip that allows device to authenticate it aka my ipad knows if I plug in a real or generic lightning cord. Maybe we should get rid of micro usb?
Maybe your ipad has a higher resolution than your desktop, but you would be upset if your desktop only had four icons across the entire screen to click on. Microsoft is always at the forefront of this, look at windows touchscreen editions, but Microsoft always seems to screw it up badly and Apple walks in and puts everything together beautifully then everyone copies Apple. Been going on for 30 years
So basically Obama ordered park rangers to block Americans from looking at rocks and geysers and canyons and stuff. But with the govt shutdown, shouldn't those guys be at home? Also, doesn't this make Obama look worse, because he's got more security watching rocks then nuclear reactors?
Warcraft came out in 1994. At the time there was no such thing as a "gaming computer". If it had a sound card and cd-rom they called it a multimedia PC. Gaming video cards did not exist yet. You bought a video card based on maximum desktop resolution, for example a 2 megabyte card ran a higher resolution than a 512kb or 1 megabyte. The first gaming video card, the 50mhz 4 megabyte Voodoo, came out in 1996. But even then the Voodoo was rare and very expensive (hundreds of dollars) so most games ran fine on regular video cards because that's what 99% of buyers had.
I agree. Obamacare is very dangerous. Surprised theres so many liberals on slashdot, you'd think intelilectials would want to keep their money and not give it all to the govt.
You're blaming the wrong party. Republicans want to open the government and keep sending bills to end the shutdown. Democrats are rejecting the bills. How many times did the govt shutdown the 8 years bush was in office? Zero. This shutdown is 100% Obama and democrats fault. The shutdown will end when the democrats decide to end it, republicans are powerless.
Airport's fault. No one should be able to drive their car right onto the runway, no matter what GPS or voice in their heads is telling them. Fire whoever runs this airport because they're a moron for not putting a fence up

How's that hope and change working out America? Oh wait, can't say anything bad about Obama because then you're racist

Right? Doesn't the US govt want money? Seems like that would be a easy multimillion dollar fine right there

Yep, but good luck finding any news outlet willing to report that unless you were watching CSPAN when the democrats refused to accept the bills.
