This argument implies that theses women have access to effective and culturally acceptable methods of birth control that they can use reliably and choose not to use it. I don't know that this is usually the case.
Right now a lot of medical transcription work is sent overseas to take advantage of low cost out sourcing. A few years ago a woman in Pakistan threatened to publish medical records from UCSF Medical Center on the internet unless she was paid a bit more.
While it's always possible that external intruders could get by the network security, the EHR's security, and figure out how to access and make sense of the proprietary data in the systems, the biggest threat is from people on the inside.
You'd think that some of the phrases early African people were saying all of the time would still be kicking around and we'd be using them. Why don't more peoples have a common way of saying:
- Look, a lion! Run.
- Fuck, it's hot around here!
- Damn, look at that ass!
- Gross, why do elephants have to shit so big?
I'm going to go ahead and say that if you've ever had to change the name of your company because of a huge ethical scandal then you shouldn't get to be on a list of ethical companies for a little more than 10 years. I'm looking at you Accenture (aka Anderson Consulting).
Their religion is also a little hard on poking and getting Facebook to implement a "throw rock" feature turned out to be more difficult than anticipated.
At this point I'm just glad that militant Islam probably has some pretty strict rules about sticking things up their butt. If one of those guys put a stick of dynamite up their ass and blew up a plane with it then the new air travel rules will largely restrict willing passengers to porn stars.
This is just one of the first few calls for investigations by the likes of Darrell Issa who recently asked that the House have "7 hearings a week times 40 weeks" investigating the executive branch. It's just like Clinton/Whitewater thing but with even less merit.
Most people have terrible taste and myspace gave them a lot more of an opportunity to unleash that onto the internet. They became the social networking version of Geocities and that ruined their branding.
Facebook locks down the look and feel of their website quite a lot and for branding purposes that's a good thing.
What I've always wished for is that cars and boats and other fossil fuel burning vehicles that would concentrate their exhaust into solid pellets. What I have in my mind is a picture of bulldozers crapping charcoal briquettes all over a work site.
the evil galactic emperor Xenu could be dropping nuclear weapons into normal exoplanet volcanoes in an attempt to destroy the souls of brain-washed alien dissidents thereby creating exo-Thetans that will torment the future residents of said exoplanet.
I agree that the crowd idea won't work until there is the political will to actually enforce these rules. Even in the best of times you have too many regulators looking for a way into the industry they're regulating (like the oil rig inspectors at the MMS) but when you combine that with leadership that doesn't believe in government regulation then things are so much worse.
When the Madoff matter started to look fishy message from the leadership in Washington was that lax enforcement was the way to achieve the deregulation they were looking for and that makes perfect sense from a political point of view. You don't get money for reelection from people you hound with regulators and people who don't believe in government, or at least believes that government regulation generally does more harm than good, shouldn't be expected to run one well.
"Comparatively large" in this case meaning just shy of the rest of the world's defense budgets combined. Last year it was also bigger than Social Security or Medicare & Medicaid. link
In theory a Microsoft tablet could run most windows apps but in practice most of those don't work well on a tablet as every one of their previous tablet projects have shown so a tablet running strait Windows 7 is a bad idea. Maybe their Windows 7 Mobile will work better but what apps are they going to have for it? As for their other effort to build something that works well for a mobile platform, does anyone want a Zune app? You can pick from 24 and several of those are ad supported games no one cares about.
It's really something to see how times have changed. 10 years ago the Mac user's lament was that the software options for their computers were too limited and now Microsoft is trying to launch hardware or OSs for new hardware into markets where Apple and Google have the mindshare nearly cornered between iTunes and the Android Marketplace.
This is why Microsoft is becoming the stuff you use at work and Apple is slowly becoming the stuff you use everywhere else.
That's true until it snows in their neighborhood and then we're back to global warming being a myth.
Intelligent and rational aren't the same thing and a lot of important people don't want to believe that global warming is a problem so they use any excuse, including long discredited FUD, they can to dismiss it. This winter as soon as some urban center hits a cold snap some jackasses on TV will help some reasonably intelligent people convince themselves that global warming is a conspiracy to sell carbon offsets or sabotage the oil industry because that's what plenty of intelligent people want to believe.
This is a lot like the birthers or 9/11 conspiracy nuts except this feeds more than an anti-Obama or anti-government bias. This is ignoring an expensive, change-our-way-of-life kind of problem in the hopes that it will go away and reality is going to have a hard time getting through to those people.
Perhaps they were testing it in winter. Given the choice between riding around Afghanistan in an poorly insulated Humvee in the Afghan winter waiting to get blown up or ambushed or laying out in an weaponized outdoor tanning bed I think I'd put on some trunks and catch up on some light reading.
At one point in his career the Christian god was a carpenter who could turn water into wine at will. If he's like any of the carpenters I know that's a terrible combination. I'm thinking that there's a reason that the bible didn't mention his skill as a craftsman. Combine that with a slight grudge toward humanity over that whole brutally tortured to death thing and a difficultly with holding things like small screws and such and I might grab the next flight if he'd worked on it.
Step 1: Wipe my hand on pants discreetly so as to verify dryness. A sweaty hand is a gross hand. Step 2: Make a quick glance to verify that the person you'll be shaking with has a standard 5 fingered hand. I'll shake a stump, hook, plastic hand, or sub-5 finger hand, flipper what-have-you but you want to know about this going into the shake and not in the middle of the first pump. Step 3: Grasp their hand or hand-like appendage firmly, shake about twice, and release whatever they've stuck out at you.
They're being compared against Apple and that comparison is not going well for Microsoft. That isn't 100% fair as Microsoft's history of being primarily a software producer doesn't match up well with Apple's history of producing quite a lot of hardware but they're the 2 platform giants of personal computing and Microsoft has been throwing it's hat in the hardware arena lately.
Right now they seem intent on making poor copies of Apple's previous generation of products (Zune/iPod, Zune HD/iPod Touch, Zune Market Place/iTunes, Vista/OS X) and there's every sign that their Windows 7 phone software will follow the same pattern against the iPhone.
What they do have is business buy-in as the OS that runs all of their niche business apps on cheapish hardware but if cloud computing takes off and web apps become the norm for business then the winner will be Google because they're already pretty good at it and Microsoft is again playing catch-up.
Microsoft doesn't need more developers, it needs designers focused on the user experience and the next generation of personal computing. That's tough to do when your best customers are business who don't want the cost of teaching their users a new UI but if Microsoft doesn't do something they are in for the same slow, steady decline.
The Zune HD UI isn't bad but it isn't better than the iPhone OS and that's the problem. Microsoft comes out a year or two later with an inferior product to Apples and acts stunned when no one cares. Ultimately, they come out looking as cool as grandma's orthopedic shoe. They've did it with Vista (see: OS X), the original Zune (the iPod at the time was far better than the 1st Gen Zune brick), the Zune HD and their pointless app store (which came out around the same time as the iPhone), and their new phones are about as popular as polio.
They don't seem to understand that while the business consumers, who have been their best customers, tend to see computers as another sort of boxy appliance for workers to use, the public treats computing as a recreational experience outside the office. To satisfy the car analogy meme, Microsoft makes dump trucks and tractors while Apple makes zippy little roadsters. The public doesn't want a smaller dump truck when they get off of work. If they want to be a player in the mobile space then they should get some of the XBox team (sans the hardware folk) to work on this because their mobile division just isn't working out because they don't realize that it's about entertainment.

I say they do a reboot and start off with Duke Begins and then follow up with a bad ass sequel called The Duke Knight.
