Thankfully, we just didn't have the money to "do something about it" then and we don't have the money now.
I'm okay with objective, non-selective studies to get a better handle on what's happening. If that position sounds too riddled with qualifications and mealy-mouthed, its because scientists like James Hansen, of NASA political fame, were eventually caught manipulating NASA's climate data. The excuse for faking data? It was "too important" an issue to allow the public to be apathetic. OMG
In my opinion, if he's right about global warming, then he dealt his own cause a blow by damaging the public's trust in the objectivity of the scientific establishment and its potential for manipulating public policy, as he clearly tried to do. I'm interested in the truth, but don't know what it is.,
I'm a systems analyst and a planner, specializing in complexity. I *do* know the issue is far from settled and "doing something about it" when we barely understand the problem and understand less about the effects of the "cure" is usually a bad course of action.
A '5' is the "orientation tap" and any numbers following are the numbers to dial. The phone could say each number as it's tapped and a "swipe" across the screen could delete the most recently tapped digit.
A "fist pounding" on the screen could indicate high user-frustration. The machine could then re-boot to force a "time out" on the user.
Considering that hands-free operation is mandatory in California for phoning while driving, one would think this would be done better.
I was steering my vehicle with my knees long before "hands free operation" was made mandatory in California.
Any movement to legislate "eyes-free operation" is going to make driving even more challenging, as the braille lane markers are missing from a lot of California's streets. What's a person to do? Get one of those talking GPS navigators!
Obviously, the improvement is that your finger-slashings will cost less, as your suppliers' inventory shrinkage is reduced, because all finger-slashing activity that has not been synergisticly consolidated with efficiently manufactured security packaging improvements could be appropriately transitioned with a consumer-education campaign that promotes the value generated by the innovative, presentation-friendly, product-protecting security packing. Of course, the critical cornerstone of the consumer-education campaign would most likely be a demographically-targeted message promulgated via the subject matter experts from the center of excellence in the public relations department. This would be easily financed, in part, from the forward-realized funds the savings extracted from the efficient consolidation of finger-slashing and security packaging upgrades yielding interdepartmental savings that are one of the cumulative components that demonstrate the management team's leadership in reaching a key milestone found in the critical path of plans to implement the corporate economic strategy.

It bothers me more that government uses tax money to buy people converters to watch digital TV. I didn't realize how important it is to ensure that everyone watches TV. Now that's a budget priority worth some deficit spending.
...always try the pants on before buying. With Vista, that makes you a criminal.
In the "try it first" tradition, Microsoft "Live" is not an install-free version of the OS on bootable media. Now be a good little boy, buy Vista, and try it and you WILL like it.
Should you foolishly decide you want your money back, you merely need to use the tiny little fixed-size window to read a clause on page 17 of the user licence agreement (depending on which security patchs you've installed) that you already signed by mouse click, in a section marked "NO WARRANTY" and find the clause saying something like "THERE'S NO IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY THIS SOFTWARE IS ACTUALLY SUITIBLE FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. IF YOU JUMP THROUGH A BUNCH OF MYSTERIOUS DRAWN-OUT PROCESS HOOPS WITH AN EXPENSIVE ATTORNEY...YOUR SOLE REMEDY IS $5. WE ALREADY GOT YOUR MONEY. NOW GO AWAY LITTLE BOY, YOU ARE BOTHERING MR. BALLMER."
I already store music, photos and critical reference files on my phone using SD MMC memory cards and a USB adapter to fill up the cards. The capacities seem to get bigger every time I walk in to the store. (Okay, like many slash-dotters, I don't get out much)
We always need a continous stream of new products to consume. I'm old enough to remember an innovation called "waxless floors" that would save money on maintenance costs as tough shiney flooring could merely be swept with a broom. Then, Johnson wax company come out with a new product we dubbed "waxless wax." It was for shining your waxless floors.
I've still got a working (I think) S-100 bus computer and single-sided 8" floppy Shugart drives in my mom's attic. Assuming the discs haven't faded...the entire OS, business applications and all my data will fit on a single bootable floppy. (on one side, no less) Try THAT, Vista.
So what about this is newsworthy? The U.S. job is entry-level and staffed with the bottom of the barrel. We're talking people whose last job was pizza delivery. Of course they're not paid much by the U.S. economy's standards.
The Indian with a BSCS degree will get a job that pays well in the economy in which she chooses to live.
1. If the Indian wants more, she should move to the U.S. where the demand for degrees and pay is higher.
2. If the U.S. former pizza driver wants more, a degree and experience is the answer.
I've stopped visiting this site as often because of "relevent news" like this.
A good sporting match (boxing, basketball, whatever) is a great way to get some aggression out.
Um, I'm afraid you're speaking to the wrong audience. You need to post on men's fitness.com or some such. Your suggestion would require most of us to leave our mother's basement or lose some weight.
A more constructive approach for this crowd is broadband and a first person shooter game. boxing, basketball...sheeesh!

well, if you're not successful in one discipline, try a different one...
Well how about we work on de-desertifying the Sahara?
...and displace the little sand critters that managed to adapt to the Sahara?
(with apologies to you, not the sand critters)

I generally agree with you. That said...

Hello? I need to be kept up to date on these things! Is that too much to ask?

Anyone competent working around food should know a "fennel" is used in the kitchen to guide grains or liquids through a small opening...

The HR department at Electronic Arts applauds the innovation as a "best practice."
What's next? Ask Slashdot: should I wear my green T-shirt or my yellow one?
If you're afraid of seeing that happen, wear YELLOW.
If you're all for it growing, wear GREEN.
