And you could have Googled the term before asking. I mean the first fucking link when you Google HIPAA is the US Gov's HHS site sub-titled "Medical Privacy - National Standards to Protect the Privacy of Personal Health Information".
But the company may vastly increase its predictive capability in the future.
I once bought a music theory book on Amazon. Shortly afterward, it recommended to me, on the basis of that purchase, that I buy the book called "Maestro" (Bob Woodward's book about Alan Greenspan.)
I'm guessing September 11, 2001 happened. Everyone's stock took a huge hit.
Uh, no. Holy shit, folks, is it that hard to look up a fact or two before posting? 9/11 was largely a non-event in terms of stock prices. The Dow went from 9600 on Sep 10 to 8900 on Sep 17. 7% is hardly a "huge hit".
It was completely a non-event in terms of AAPL, which spent all of 2001 meandering mostly between $15 and $20. It was just under $15 on both Jan 3 and October 3 of that year.
Uh, hello? On March 22, 2000 AAPL closed at $144. On October 3, 2001 it closed at $14.98. What do you call that? (Yes, I know it split in June of 2000; so it dropped by a factor of 5, not a factor of 10).
These days, if you are rich and can have a government official elected by generous donations, media exposure, etc., you can get laws passed that might benefit you more than the public...
"These days"? Read some history, dammit. It's been this way in the US of A for at least 150 years. Ever hear of Jay Gould? Andrew Carnegie? This ignorant ahistorical whining is getting really annoying.
As one of the other posters pointed out, I meant to say 14th. In my mind I was referring to the "incorporation" doctrine (controversial, I know) but my fingers somehow said 10th.
Yes, they are. But read what the damn thing says, first: "Congress shall make no law..." This particular case has nothing to do with Congress (or, as extended by the 10th Amendment, the states) making a law abridging the freedom of speech.
I heard that during Vietnam, the draft only took 19-year olds and never ran out. Can anyone confirm that?
Semi-accurate. For a large part of the duration of the Vietnam conflict, you were subject to being drafted only during the year you turned 19. The military's manpower needs were divided into the number of presumably eligible males with that birth year, and then a "random" selection of birth dates (days) was made and ranked, so if they needed X00,000 people, and that was 1/3 of every guy turning 19 in, say, 1973, they'd rank all the days and give you a number. Your lottery number would determine whether or not you'd likely get drafted -- if your birthday came up #1, you were going, and if it came up #365, you'd go get stoned for a week in celebration. If you were in the #120-180 range, it was iffy. Ask any guy who was eligible and he'll tell you what his number was, even 30 years on.
The internet does not easily recognize national boundaries. If someone wants something that they can't legally get in their country, they'll just go to a domain hosted in a country where they can get it.
Tell that to the people in China, or Myanmar, or North Korea, or Iran, or....
Sorry, I missed the part where somebody held a gun to your head and forced you to live there. That's like buying an apartment in NYC and then complaining that it's noisy and crowded. If you don't like it that much, move.
I really do think I have a good idea what she will be like in 3-4 years, as well as in 10-20 years.
Nothing personal, but soon you will realize that you have absolutely no idea at all. People, especially young female people, will surprise you in ways you can't imagine. (I have two grown daughters, who have been and still are a joy, but never what I expected. This is a good thing.)
I'd say courageous, more like it. People just don't have the balls to quit a job based on principles anymore.
He didn't quit based on principle, he quit because he's a prima donna. Quitting on principle is Cyrus Vance resigning as Secretary of State or Eliot Richardson resigning as Attorney General.
Me, I like my "experts" to have a verifiable CV and an accessible publication history. I can find neither for this guy, other than in connection with the conference mentioned in the ZDNet article. So just another bullshit artist, IMO.

Yeah, uh, this is New York you're talking about. Not the world's capital of politeness.

Sounds more like dino osso buco.

Well, I thought it was funny.
Wrong. It's an Interstate highway project, which, like all Interstate highway projects, is 90% federal-funded.
Wish I had mod points today, for the nifty way you made the connection from the UK back to bad dental care. Bravo!
"Look at me, I'm unethical and proud of it!"
What are you talking about? Jan 29 $21.69, Jan 30 $21.75, Jan 31 $21.62.
Like I said to the other guy, would it kill you to check your facts? Look for yourself. It's not fucking rocket science.
Uh, no. Holy shit, folks, is it that hard to look up a fact or two before posting? 9/11 was largely a non-event in terms of stock prices. The Dow went from 9600 on Sep 10 to 8900 on Sep 17. 7% is hardly a "huge hit".

...under the Christmas tree? Weren't e-books going to replace physical books by now, too?
This crowd is too young. Nobody appears to have caught the 'Prisoner' reference.

Nobody was denied the right to publish anything in this case. They published it, didn't they? The court didn't order the site taken down, did they?
Yes, they are. But read what the damn thing says, first: "Congress shall make no law..." This particular case has nothing to do with Congress (or, as extended by the 10th Amendment, the states) making a law abridging the freedom of speech.

Nixon ended the draft in 1973.

Uh, no. Next question?

What do you mean? Loads perfectly fine for me at 1236 EST on 3/2/05. I've never had a problem with them.
And you actually expected something to happen?
Save the e-mail and send it again after they post a dupe of this story tomorrow.
