But the scientists tell us that GMOs with pesticide in them is "safe". Not "less safe, but still safe enough". But just plain "safe". And if we choose to diafgree about what we put in our bodits, they call us anti-intellectual idiots.
GMO means genetically modified (implies cross-species genetic transfer). Some are things like having your food produce poison (insecticide). I'm not sure how my food containing more poison is more safe. Have the scientists actually studied it, or are they just assuming it's safe because other scientists made it?
It's consistent because it's the best way to tax the middle class and re-distribute it to the ruling elite. Own the rail line, make billions. Own the copper, make billions. That's always the American plan. And why nobody else follows it.
I can't recall a single laptop I've had that has an active network connection when it is off,
So because you've never had a computer with AMT, AMT doesn't exist? That's some weird logic you have. If your computer has WoL (most do) it has an "Active" network connection (as in a passive listening connection), even when you disable WoL, it's still listening, it just doesn't do anything. You don't have to electrically light your "transmit" wires to hear what's on the receive wires.
so how would someone use this AMT on a Lenovo laptop to turn one back on to do anything to it?
You also have the greater power of 4 vs 2, for higher takeoff weight, greater climb rate, and such. If your 2 engine aircraft can climb with one engine, then it's similarly oversized. No 4-engine aircraft in passenger use today can climb with only one engine. So if your 2-engine craft can, then you've made the same problem you are complaining about.
Then we should have it everywhere, as the states are the size of sale. That, and the smaller states are closer to the density and distribution of Europe. So why don't they have it? It comes down to the people. We like our monopolies abusing us. If not, why do we keep voting for politicians that force them down our throat (on both sides of the isle)?
But the others subsidized the build. We subsidized the service. There's a difference.
Also, unbundling caused 1000s of CLECs to pop up. But that was too much competition for the bells, so CLECs were shut out, restoring the monopoly/duopoly (depending on location). Had the unbundling continued, locking out bells from their own network, then we'd be much better off than Europe. But the government is bought and paid for (both sides), so we got the government we deserve by voting them in.
Transforming the copper/fiber network to a distribution-only model is what works best. Anything else fails.
He never said never use any risk mitigation, but that the risk mitigation in this case seems excessive for the risk involved. Fires are rare, and in the case of the NYSE, the fire in the data center affected only one pod, and was quickly extinguished,. They all are.
The problem with fire isn't the fire, it's that the fire triggers automatic responses (disconnecting the power), and the room is sealed while the fire is investigated, before the power can be turned back on. So the "fire" almost never does damage beyond the system it started in, but will almost always take out a data center for a day.
35 merchants for a third party reseller sold the keys that someone bought from EA Origin using stolen credit cards.
Yes, Kinguin, an authorized reseller of Ubisoft, resold keys that were later invalidated for having come through "questionable" channels.
Rather than honoring the keys bought through an authroized reseller, Ubisoft, canceled them and is offering refunds (for the people who bought a real key from a real and authorized reseller).
That should be illegal. The "legal" answer would be for Ubisoft to honor all the keys that have been purchased, and track down the illegal person in the chain and hold them responsible, not hold the end user responsible for having bought a key from an authorized Ubisoft reseller.
Do you know what mark to market means? How do you do that with a bond that has no functional market?
If there is no market, then the value is zero. Which bonds do you assert have no value?
People that take loans they know they cannot pay are without blame when they cannot pay their loans?
I never said that. I'm saying that when the "high risk" group has a low level of defaults (well under historical averages), that it's not that group's fault when the frauds of the rich white male bankers are revealed.
But in the US, poor are only poor because they are lazy, so if you blame the poor, you are "safe" as they are all worthless sub-human creatures that deserve no sympathy. So they are truly the last group that's safe to discriminate against, regardless of what the oppressed rich white males assert.
The national media is owned by the same people that own Big Oil (institutionalized investors). So I always find it hilarious that the "liberal media" is called such when they are obviously owned by some of the most conservative people.
That's hilarious. The "liberal media" in Texas is owned by oil companies. The stories about all the earthquakes around Dallas explain how it's not fracking, and if it were fracking, it's a good thing, as the more common smaller earthquakes release pressure, preventing a larger one later.
And I'm referring to Belo, whose owners have ties to the West Texas oil fields. No, Mobile doesn't own Belo, but the owners of Belo have ties to oil.
Paying for the services you use is not ethical? They use roads, education, police, and all sorts of services. If they had their $22B in cash under their mattress, there are countries that would invade to take it, so they use the military much more than anyone else.
Indent isn't meaningless. But there's no reason to double-space an indent. It carries a reading meaning, related to nesting of code.
Code "feels" smaller when it's compact. Also, having a single spacing method uniform across everyone makes for easier cut-and paste sharing. Having one person space things differently than another will result in decreased readability.
If the whitespace is meaningless, it should be eliminated (carriage returns excepted). However, I can understand people who add in meaningless whitespace, as some times a + b is easier to read than a+b, even if they are interpreted the same.
35 official Ubisoft resellers sold keys. Rather then honoring keys sold through official channels, Ubisoft revoked them, and refunded them. That seems silly.
Also note, the total number of keys purchased fraudulently was not disclosed, nor was the number voided. Apparently, Ubisoft is banning and making people demand a refund to get a refund. Some people may think that they did something wrong, and won't ask for a refund. This will result in theft by Ubisoft. Because anyone who doesn't ask for a refund won't get it.
The "proper" way to handle this is to honor all the keys and try to recover money from the fraudulent distributor.
Yay, you are unique. but that doesn't add anything to the conversation. Most professional photographers will tell you "the best camera there is, is the one you have with you." The camera on the phone is popular because it's always with you. That's the "value" in the phone. It's so small and convenient that you *always* have it with you.
the only thing a tablet is better ar is battery life
You must not have kids. Or friends. Most tablets can survive a drop from 3 feet onto unpadded outdoor carpet (the standard cheap office carpet, glued to hard concrete, with no padding). However, I've never seen a laptop survive that. Maybe the special ruggedized ones could, but they are always much more expensive and much slower.
Laptops are also cheaper than smart phones. A low-priced touchscreen laptop will be about half the price of a large-screen phone. A dumb phone and a laptop gives you the most computing and screen size for the $$$. But just because you assert that to be the target doesn't mean anyone else sees it that way. The "real" benefit of the iPad is the walled garden. You can tether one to a desk. Put on a corporate app (perhaps for a reception/guest notification) and it's reasonably durable (vs a PC tablet, few of which will survive a worst-case drop 2-feet onto unpadded carpet), and if you need more, it's easy to get another identical one. Actually working on a phone is hard. Much less so on a screen 4x the size (in area, not diagonal). http://www.computerworld.com/a... about $500 for a "decent" touch-screen laptop.
If you can't cash something in without crashing it's value it's not a good asset.
Same as having all your 401(k) invested in the company you work for. If it goes under, you have no job and no retirement. But not a "good" asset doesn't make it not an asset.
If an insurance company tried to fund one of their annuity's reserves with company bonds they would slap the cuffs on them. Same should happen to everybody involved with SS.
That would only be the President and Congress. Those are the people that made it what it is. The actual SSA has no power to control where their "surplus" goes. I imagine they'd invest it in the DOW, if they had a free choice.
An insurance company does fund funds with its own funds. It's only cuffable when you under-fund in the first place, and try to fraudulently cover it with fake assets. That's not the case here.
Next you'll tell me you think the Subprime Crisis had anything to do with subprime borrowers, when it was 100% fraud by the banks, unrelated to the borrowers they lent to.
Pretending that a huge block of bonds are an asset is standard answer from the 'SS is healthy liars brigade.'
So all the retirement accounts that count bonds as assets should instead wipe them off the books, showing a massive loss?
Like most companies (see Ireland) you can keep books that have debts and assets from other companies under the same ownership.
The US government doesn't have an asset if it buys its own bonds. But the SS fund most certainly does. The problem is the people who fail basic accounting, asserting their misunderstanding is reality, when reality disagrees.
It is true. It's easy for you to look up the years those things happened and deaths in the US. Though the small minded people like yourself will refuse to look at the science, and will cling to the religion of "speed kills" no matter what proof you are presented with.
But that is irrelevant anyway, unlike the case of Ubisoft revoking keys for games no ECU has a requirement that ties it to an owner but if it did then it would still satisfy the First Sale doctrine because it is not about being able to use the goods after they were sold but to be able to sell the copyrighted goods in the first place.
So if GM remotely disabled your car through OnStar because you bought/sold it used, that's perfectly acceptable, under the law, and by your personal moral code?

Which way? The US app store (locked down to US residents) is global, and the hollywood global receipts are domestic?
Part of the problem is comparing gross Hollywood with net Appstore. And just one appstore at that.
I agree that the comparison is bad, but your implication that it's skewed to make apps look large is the opposite of the actual skew.
