No kidding... My wife just got T-Mobile last weekend for her unlocked cell phone. As we live in the boondocks of midtown west Manhattan, it's pretty much useless... There's no signal in our apartment or many other places around.
In fact, the guy at the T-Mobile store in the boondocks, across 14th Street from Union Square didn't get a signal in the store after we paid for it. I joked about what a great sign that was, but he said it was probably because it wasn't fully activated yet. Turns out it was probably just bad service from them.
I wonder, are the doctors soaking the insurance companies, or just averaging their costs out by charging more for the insured and less for the uninsured?
No, the other way around. The insurance companies often only pay a doctor a percentage of the what they charge all patients.
For instance if a doctor wants to earn $100 on a procedure, but the insurance company won't pay more than 50%, then the doctor has to charge $200 to get $100. But they have to charge all customers the same price. If the insurance company finds out that the doctor is charging cash patients only $100, then they'll only pay 50% of that price.
Well, I can say there was nothing recognizable damaged to an untrained eye with a 300mm camera lens... I was on the bank of the bay, near the Verrazana-Narrows Bridge taking pictures... Maybe that's why they were late getting there, they might've stopped to inspect it after the collision.
My favorite Torah teaching is the story about Hillel being challenged to teach the whole Torah while standing on one food. He accepted the challenged, lifted one foot off the ground and said something like "The Torah is about treating others as you wish to be treated, the rest is just commentary."
I mentioned that to one of my coworkers (I work in a Hassidic office) who disagreed and said that was an oversimplification and Hillel's contemporary who taught a more literal meaning of the Torah was actually the one who was right.
Agreed. I don't think Dr. Leakey's argument holds water. The main problem isn't that there's a lack of evidence now, it's that people who don't believe it simply don't believe it, and choose not to. More evidence isn't likely to get change people's beliefs.
Maybe in that time frame people who believe the evidence will come up with more convincing arguments, better debating material, but not simply more discoveries.
My father used to be super-accurate like that, all the time. But then after he had a heart attack and bypass surgery a few years ago, he's always half an hour to 45 minutes off...
Or in my case, a sign of wealthy in-laws... But I haven't been wearing it much in New York City, too flashy to feel safe walking about during short-sleeve weather (especially since I work in Crown Heights...)
Are you sure it's the TSA you want to look into that? They'd probably try to solve it by making everyone go through scanners and get groped before getting into their car.

In Hillsboro, Oregon there is (or was when I was last there) a Fairly Honest Don's Machine Gun Parlor, that I think was a gun store...
It's so that after you go there once, you go back again...
One of the local Manhattan mini-storage companies had ads earlier this year "if you leave the city, you'll be stuck living in America."
So, if this thing is tough enough, it could be laid flat on the floor and someone can write a Twister game for it...
Grammer is meaning less.
Yes, in fact... By using proper grammer you can often reduce ambiguity so what you write means what you intend it to mean, and not too much more.
Hence the famous palindrome, "was it a car or a cat I saw?"

Have you ever tried to tie a boat up to a floating coconut?
A laden or unladen boat?
which mattered more as cars got faster
Maybe Microsoft is trying to slow down the speed of development.
Maybe we can come up with backronyms for each of them, that way, like the SQL menu, they can all be acronyms that require capitalization.

I've been seeing reports that over the past few years, there's been an exodus of quite a number of people leaving NY
Yeah, the Onion had an interesting article about the mass exodus from New York City just a couple of weeks before I moved to it.
My first choice was .127...

As some guy said once: You can have your own opinion, but you can't have your own facts
But if your opinion is that your opinion is fact?
Agreed. I don't think Dr. Leakey's argument holds water. The main problem isn't that there's a lack of evidence now, it's that people who don't believe it simply don't believe it, and choose not to. More evidence isn't likely to get change people's beliefs.

Well, that's confusing... The article is from a newspaper in Seattle, about a Los Angeles class boat in Portsmouth, Maine named Miami...

It can be a sign of status like a Rolex
Or in my case, a sign of wealthy in-laws... But I haven't been wearing it much in New York City, too flashy to feel safe walking about during short-sleeve weather (especially since I work in Crown Heights...)
That's something Scott Thompson can actually put on his resume now.
And he can borrow from the Slashdot headline, "-- and Get Caught"
Are you sure it's the TSA you want to look into that? They'd probably try to solve it by making everyone go through scanners and get groped before getting into their car.
The song was Kodachrome, seriously, who doesn't like Kodachrome?
Never heard of it?
And then get locked out if you come from cold weather
I believe that would be "frozen out" not "locked out".
At one time a "computer" was a person. But that word has evolved as well...
