We tend to be suprised because we are more used to thinking that businesses raise prices either to cover increased costs or to take advantage of increased demand.
In this case, if there are increased costs or demand for "nano-insurance" it is not obvious. More likely, companies who make profit by mitigating risk are *creating* new market space by spinning up the popular uncertainty/unfamiliarity of the new technology as "risk."
I can't get K3B running on my Mandrake 9.2 download. Something about 'cdrao'. Know how to fix that? I'm new to Linux, but if it works great for you, it should work great for me too, right?
Why not outsource the CEO as well? Why not outsource the customers to countries with _higher_ wages? I think it's time these companies started thinking outside the box.
Could it have a battery in the same form factor? Then you could use the expensive, long-lasting fuel cell for the long trips away from the charger, and the cheaper battery for everyday use.
EM radiation increases the risk of cancer for high power or high frequency, or both. It screws up the dircetion of cellular (that's biology, not telecom) components causing errors in the way it replicates the DNA. When that error is significant enegough to produce a mutation, and the mutation survives and grows, it could be a cancer.
It is unclear if the power of a cellphone (note the antenna right next to your brain) is definitely enough to cause cancer in a certain number of people.
Note that main power transmission lines are low frequency but extremely high power. This explains stories about cancer clusters near these high power lines.
WiFi is so low power that even at the relatively high frequency that I can assure all of you are QUITE SAFE from its health effects.
I am an engineer too, and no, I don't work for a WiFi company.
Also, no one likes it when the customer keeps changing his order after you've already started the build.
It is quite common actually to use pricing as a means of discouraging the customer from doing things like this. But the "up the ying yang" story makes it look like Diebold wants to discourage Maryland form having fair elections. That might be a nice bonus for Deibold, but here this otherwise normal behavior is being observed out of context.
"Moving to Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye!" by Marcel Gagne.
It comes with a bootable CD so you can try out Linux without wiping your computer. I haven't tried it yeat, but the book is very readable and got great reviews on Amazon.
why it's called "power tools"

Linux Power Tools
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I remember there was a book once called "UNIX Power Tools" which seemed to achieve near-Bible status for anyone doing a significant amount of programming on the job. This book obviously follows the theme.
Besides, who would buy a book called "Linux Hand Tools" or "Linux For Poets?"
You might think spam is a curse, but if this bill actually stopped spam, just think how many companies would see down-spiraling sales due to decreased advertising audience. That would bad news for the economy; for shareholders and employees alike.
By passing this law, the hopefully spam-jammed internet should create increased demand for bandwidth and therefore increase sales in infrastructure hardware as well as spamming and anti-spamming software. IANA economist, but that should boost the stock market pretty good!
Finally, far be it from my to suggest slashdotters are unpatriotic, but would it kill any of you to actually BUY something from an email advertisement? Why not do your part to keep your country's economy moving?
Also, don't we owe some gratitude to the legislators who have our index funds' best interests at heart?
Three engineers were in the bathroom standing at the urinals. The first engineer finished and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeded to dry his hands very carefully. He used paper towel after paper towel and ensured that every single spot of water on his hands was dried. Turning to the other two engineers, he said, "At Motorola, we are trained to be extremely thorough."
The second engineer finished his task at the urinal and he proceeded to wash his hands. He used a single paper towel and made sure that he dried his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turned and said, "At IBM, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough, but we are also trained to be extremely efficient."
The third engineer finished and walked straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder, "At Texas Instruments, we don't pee on our hands."
..who lets Cassanova Frankenstein out of the Assylum in "Mystery Men" (1999) because he'd put away all the other supervillains and was starting to lose sponsorships.
"You must lash out with all you limbs like the octopus who plays the drums!"
...probably, that some people think less government solves all problems "like these" neatly, as if idealogical consistency were more important than evaluation, analysis, and good judgement.
Also, and I realize I'm just guessing wildly here, it could be that the stated "fact" is often disguised as an opinion, as in the parent post, thus making it easily missed.

Darl himself made that offer.

Actually, your household microwave is much more dangereous than Wifi, which is like saying
\epsilon >> 0
All those things are way too low power to cause cancer. See my reply to Smidge204.

Don't you serve anything without spam in it?
mindstrm is right

You can keep using smaller and smaller patches, and eventually, you can stop smoking.
Or, you can keep using larger and larger patches and eventually become a smoker.

What do you think Sun/Walmart should do to solve the problem described by parent carl67lp?

If you want to be the very first to try the hot new stuff, be prepared for things not to always go as planned.

...and put some "mistakes" in it if you don't vote for the "correct" candidate(s).
And it will be interesting to see which choices causes which political groups to spam you for donations.

Non commercial software = less COST for buyers = increased buying power = better for the people = better economy.

Why no mention of RFSQ (rapid single-flux-quantum) technology? See June 25 slashdot http://slashdot.org/articles/01/06/25/1526217.shtm l
