You believe that the only reason people don't injure themselves is cost? generally i find its the injury that puts people off.
But even under your preffered system of healthcare doesn't it add a greater unfairness of me and you both contracting cancer. You're rich and can afford treatment and recover. I am poor, can't afford tratment and die.
I'm paying for your greed.
Capitalism is only fair if people have equal access to basic neccesities of life. This isn't simply people needing to work harder as it is generally the poorest people who work hardest trying to hold down 2 jobs and desperatly trying to make ends meet.
Surely, you'd agree, even with your view of capitalism that it is grossly unfair untill inheritance tax is rated at near 100%. You seem to be scared of an in theory elected government whereas i'm scared of a few people holding all the money and thus being able to buy the government. (just look at what it costs to run for candidacy in the US)
I first heard about advertising on people's foreheads in 2003 in this article.
Although it does look like this guys current $15,099 is slightly better than the £88.20 offerend in the Guardian article.
"The agency, Cunning Stunts, is offering students up to £88.20 a week to wear a corporate logo on their head for a minimum of three hours each day. The brand or product message will be attached by a vegetable dye transfer and the students will be paid to leave the logos untouched."
I would assume that the engineers didn't work out the critical angle to prevent a stall. Jeb is having to experiment alot to produce data about the suit so that this can be attempted safely*.
Perhaps this is one of the things he needs to work out?
*A strange meaning of the word safely that I wasn't previously aware of.
The benefit of recycling is not just the use of less raw resources. The other major benfit is landfill. In britain atleast we are on the brink of a land fill crisis. The government is cutting the number of new landfill sites for environmental reasons and this means somethign else hjas to be done with our ever increasing amounts of rubbish. Recycling is just one of the solutions.
Then why don't the distros do this themselves? They are in the bussiness of offering the best they can so I assume there must be a reason they choose the kernal they do.
Personally, I dont have the experiance, knowledge or confidence to recompile anything. I've never had to recompile windows thats for sure!
For a long time the heroes at Bletchley never really got the recognition they deserved. Their roles remained classified long after the end of the war and as such they couldn't tell anyone.
Many of them were stigmatised as cowards for not doing anything during the war and they couldnt defend themselves form the attacks.
I'm not diminishing the sacrifices and actions of soldiers but man for man the men at bletchly did far more for the war effort than any *individual* soldier on the front.
0 is completely straight
3 is equally attracted to both sexes (incidently, this is where I place myself)
6 is completely straight.
His research was conducted around the time we are talking about (with Turing), and the results of his research are quite surprising although they are by no means taken from a representative sample and the use of prisoners may have skewed the results. (Don't drop the soap).
Legal tender is in the repayment of a debt. If you have already purchased something then they HAVE to accept cash for the debt. If, however, you pay before hand they can specify any method of payment they like.
Also, in the UK atleast, legal tender for coins is limted. For instance 1p coins are only legal tender up to a value of 20p. This means that beyond 20p you cant FORCE someone to accept 1p coins.
Well, that really depends on how much they cost. For 1000 I would expect it to last for a good few years, but for 10 I would be happy to replace ti every 6 months.
In a similar vein, if your walking through a dodgy area try and look like you are on an errand and have somewhere to be. Don't look asthough you're going for a walk or don't know where you're going. If you look like you walk there everyday of your life and you're only going round the corner you'l be less of a target.
I'm sure I've done stupid things with hot drinks. Trying to cary too many cups of tea at once, leant over things with a cup of coffee in my hand, god knows what else. I have been burnt a few times, yet I continue to do these knowingly stupid things - why?
Because, in my mind the risk isn't worth the inconvenience of doing it safely.
The reason its worth it?
Because I'm not risking anything more than discomfort doing it. I might (and have) get burned, but it just hurts like hell for a bit, maybe an hour if its bad, and then will be red and tender for a couple of days.
On the other hand, I dont run around the kitchen with knives, I dont do stupid things with knoves and I try to be more careful. Yes, through carelessness, I have still managed to knick myself here and there - nomally while cutting things, but generally I'm far more careful than I am with coffee.
Why?
Because with knives, if I do get injured its likely to be bad, I could cut a tendon/nerve or somethign and lose the use of a hand/limb etc. I could get a huge gash in somewhere, I could lose the tip of a finger, whetever. Basically I take more care with knives because if I do injure myself its likely to be bad.
Now take extremely hot coffee. If i knew that coffee was as dangerous as knives I would exert the same degree of care when handling it. I wouldnt do all the stupid things that I do with coffee.
But I don't expect coffee to be as dangerous as the knives so I'm careless. If, unvbeknownst to me, I am given dangerously hot coffee, and I treat it in the same way as every other cup of coffee that I've bought - based on the calculated risk that if I do burn myself it wont really matter - I have a risk of injury, but *I* am only risking mild injury associated with coffee. If the coffee is hot enough to be as dangerous as knives (or give third degree burns) and I am not made aware of this incresed risk it would be the fauilt of whoever gave me the coffee.
Thats the beauty of the BBC, they are not a normal business and dont currently have that ethic. Although that doesnt mean they will never become more tight-fisted but there remains an element of political control so this can (hopefully) be pre-empted if it ever were to happen.
I have no links to the Beeb, but I think they do a fantastic job and play an important role. The way the BBC is funded allows it to make niche programs that would not be produced otherwise.
I was not laying the blame at the hands of the English.
My point is that there is a reason the IRA exists, there is a reason Cromwell invaded Ireland, there is a reason Protestant Scots were sent to Northern Ireland.
No action happens in isolation. The Iraq war could be blamed on 911 (I said COULD), 911 could be blamed on America's actions in the middle east, America's actions in the middle east could be blamed on the nature of the regimes and so on and so forth until we get all the way bakc to either someone biting into an apple or a fish decided that water isn't all its cracked up to be.
Then all you have to do is hide the fact that you're opting out and the guy watchign wouldn't know that the keys are in the normal order. You could even have this as a setting on the debit card, or linked to that particular account.
But even if they charge more for graphic ads they get no money from a website that chooses not to display *any* google ads.
It is in google's interests to keep webmasters happy. Afterall, there is nothing to stop someone else setting up text-only ads if google won't offer them.
No one needs to enforce them. Thats the point. it just means the patent cannot be taken by someone else.
If someone sues OSS and happens to be using a one of these patents then it can be used against them (yes, it may cost money, but its likely to save on the total court costs).
Why isn't something like this used for predictive text or spell checkers? Spell checkers (ok, i'll admit I've only really used the microsoft office one) don't even seem to gave basic grammar to help with the spell check (subject noun object - in that order to help pick the word).
The impression I got from your post is exactly the sort fo thing (or even mroe advanced) that is done to produce the kanji.

because you get to take on the persona of a complete asshat, running around blowing up people, stealing stuff, and being a general dicksnot.
But it takes someone with some intelligence to realise that the 'C' in 'BBC' stands for corporation.

But you're programmed to say that...

Charities, free source software organisations, political parties, etc etc could all use this.
I could voluntarily download an Oxfam, Mozilla or Labour Party adbar which, every time I click an advert, pays my chosen organisation.
This would be completely voluntary and easily removable. It would offer an additional income source for your chosen charity (etc).
I don't know if I would run an adbar under these circumstances but I would defiantly consider it and perhaps try it out.
But if your in england you can be shot for carrying one.

That is called the Kinsey Scale.
This is a scale from 0 to 6.
0 is completely straight
3 is equally attracted to both sexes (incidently, this is where I place myself)
6 is completely straight.

Actually either positioning of the possesive apostrophe is correct.

And maybe they should look at what the English have done to the Irish for hundreds of years.
History cannot be examined in isolation.

Which was fully refundable.
