You won't have all car owners behind you. Speaking as somone who was hit by a moron who didn't have insurance, I was glad I did, so I wouldn't have to re-purchase my totaled brand new car because the moron wanted to text his girlfriend as he was driving.
Lots of us understand what insurance is for and want it. If you have a piece-of crap car, and no savings the person who you carelessly wreck into can go after to recover damages, sure, I'm sure you don't want to pay for insurance.
They must not be using Oracle. With Oracle, nulls are the same as empty values. That's why Oracle databases are so much lighter to carry around than other databases.
Oh, and as far as being tested for everything under the sun, sometimes tests return a false negative because most have at least a small instance if false positives/negatives. Sometimes labs mess up results. In other cases one antibody test may fail while a different test for the same condition using a different antibody works.
If you look around you can find instances of folks having 2 negative test for Lymes, then a positive on a 3rd, and after treatment for Lymes, the 'fibromyalgia' symptoms they had lessen. Never rule one thing out forever just because a single test was negative.
Lyme Disease, Lupus, Arthritis, and I've heard of folks whose 'fibromialgia' cleared up after they were treated for apnea.
There are lots of things that cause pain/fatigue, etc, and if you don't have other standard symptoms they also cause, could get you lumped in as fibromialgia because they aren't sure what else to do with you.
Actually, most folks I know who said they have fibromyalgia have been misdiagnosed because they had non-standard symptoms for some other condition. Fibromyalgia just seems to be a catch-all for when they have some symptoms in one area and they can't figure out what else it could be.
The Gulf Stream and most of the other major currents which move warm/cold water that sets up our weather system were very different then. Any place being much hotter or colder than what we experience 'there' now isn't suprising at all.
That might be good logic to you in NYC, but when you are in the vast majority of the actual Country, the midwest and western states do exist, contention for a tower in a large area isn't a real worry. The worry is getting signal when you are a long way from the nearest tower. And putting those towers up to service a handful of people isn't cheap.
I've had several friends migrate to Macs laptops during the Vista fiasco when they were ready for new hardware. And these were folks who have also used Linux before, so I'm guessing your wrong on what all the PC users do.
I'd hold onto if a few more years if I were you. Windows 8 is going to be such a disaster, Apple stands to do well. Sell before Windows 9 comes out. That one might be good like 7.
The man had/presence/. Even the end-of-life, sickly, emaciated Steve Jobs would have destroyed you with a glance and a few harsh words, leaving you and your ego little more than a quivering pile of unflavored luke warm jello.
I don't shop at Walmart. I know lots of folks who won't. So there are a good number of folks who will avoid the bad players. Just a lot of others who will gladly deal with them if they can save a buck.
Maemo was just getting to the point where the gadget reviewers were saying it was worth taking a look at. Reviews for the N900 were good, and then they killed it. A shame.
The researchers who spent months/years of their lives generating the data should get a head start on their competitors, who do no work, but take the resulting data set and beat them to the punch publishing some of the multiple papers that come out of a large study. The researchers who did the actual work now lose out on all the citation references that go to the competitor. Citations matter a lot in what type of job you might get next or whether you are going to get that next grant funded or not. Allowing the folks who did the work to actually get the reward for the work is only fair.
Sometimes we do very large studies that generate enough data for more than 1 paper. We'd like preferential access to all that data we spent months/years generating until we have a chance to get out all the papers we know we can. Before that, opening the data set to our competitors lets them take the citation credits and screws over the people who spent the time doing the actual work.

You do realize weather patterns were slightly different 50 million years ago when the continental layout was different, right?

Anyone who says a warm summer proves it, or a cold winter disproves it, doesn't understand the science. At all.
Talk to the actual scientists. There's very good consensus that it's real.

A little reality check:
Most folks who are getting those smartphones are updating their phones every 2-3 years when their contract runs out with their carrier.
Most folks continue to use the same PC for 5+ years before upgrading.
So the larger Android output is very much tenuated by the devices far higher churn rate.
I'm guessing you don't personally know my friends, where were not looking to buy Macs beforehand.

Yeah, a few words like "you're holding it wrong".
Moron fanboy.
2 drives out of 7 started spinning for me after the freezer trick long enough to get some/most data off them.
I think, as Billy Crystal would tell you, it depends if they are dead, or just mostly dead.

He's not a psychopath. He doesn't come to any of the meetings.
It was last year after they bought Palm.
Yeah, the HP Veer was just a huge success because people are really clamoring for a smaller phone.
I could be mistaken, but other states may have a problem if you're naked for any reason.
You are not mistaken. Many states will label you as a sex offender if you take a leak in the corner of a parking lot after a late night partying.
Only because they are infringing on my inertia patent!

Microsoft didn't kill Meego. Totally inept leadership at Nokia did. Same thing that's killing RIM right now.
And the bible tells you to stone to death people who wear clothes made of more than one type of fabric... and many, many other horrible things. So?
