People do not have to wait for life threatening care with single payer, just non-immediately needed procedures sometimes. Stop your ignorant talking points.
What we have now is wealthcare. The wealthy like the fact that they get quicker service for non life threatening care by removing millions of people from being able to access care at all. That's not equal opportunity for all.
While computer technology has increased dramatically since the space missions of the 1960s, rocket technology hasn't.
We still use the same basic equipment/principles/fuel/structures to get into space. Sure it might have a better computer/guidance system, but that doesn't really decrease the cost or complexity of getting into space.
So if we wanted to go to the moon again today, it would be a long and difficult undertaking just as it was in the 60s.
Sorry to be blunt but "I don't know enough to question this but I will dismiss this study because the author believes this unrelated thing" is just wrong.
Unless everyone in this discussion is willing to devote years of their life to properly studying climate science in enough detail to understand this kind of a paper (which let's be realistic is the only way), then that's what we are left with. Very few people in this thread are qualified to judge the validity of this guy's scientific arguments in the language of climate science.
If it were up to the IT professionals, more businesses would already be on it.
They should have surveyed CFOs to see what percentage of businesses will budget anything for an IPv6 transition in the next 24 months.
I'm an IT professional, but I'm not currently authorized to work on a transition of our network because I have a long list of things that was deemed more important by management.
The difference is that the social security trust fund *is* the federal government. The federal government lent all the money in the social security trust fund to itself, and then it spent the money. A bank would have lent the money to various third parties who would pay it back. The federal government has to pay the money back through tax revenue (or more borrowing). That's a pretty big difference. If a bank lent its deposits to its officers, and then the officers spent the money, all the bank's officers would be in jail right now. An IOU written to yourself is not an asset. The social security trust fund is insolvent. All the money being paid out has to come from taxes, borrowing, or printing money.
The bolded was the point I was making.
If a bank issues a loan to a private party, that party has a legal obligation to repay the loan, so the bank knows exactly how much it can be expecting back. Sure the guy might not be able to pay, but in most cases he will. We can't accurate project what future government revenues or budgets will look like. So the gov issuing an IOU to itself is really just an assertion that they will pay back that dept based on faith in future economic growth leading to more revenue.
One problem here that not many people know about is that the "trust fund" isn't an actual account with actual money in it.
It's basically just a stack of IOUs from the Treasury dept stating that they will pay that amount when the SSA requests it, but if future government revenues or budgets are not conducive to that money being available from Treasury, it could be hard for them to get it.
Is because whatever web design company was offered the job of setting up the site and converting the data RIDICULOUSLY inflated their quote just because it was the gov and they knew how much they could suck out given the prior precedents of waste.
Oddly enough, the only problem I've ever had in the Apple store is finding the checkout lane. They seem to have moved it to another place every time I go there.
Personally I use the lfd daemon with the csf firewall script on my servers. fail2ban is similar.
People should not get unlimited attempts to connect to your services.
At the same time, you don't want to clog up your firewall rules with thousands of denied IPs, so I usually set the filter rather high so it will not impact real users (you would be surprised how many users need 10 or 15 attempts to guess their password if they forgot) but only people really performing a serious brute force password guessing attack.
Also you can use temporary to permanent blocking, where the perp is banned temporarily and rolls off the firewall ban after a few days when he has lost interest, and is only banned permanently if the attacks continue over a longer period.

this is why Ron Paul will not be the nominee

SSLv2 being accepted by the server is a misconfiguration.
I manage multiple sites used by Fortune 100 companies (who are often slow to upgrade clients) and have had SSLv2 turned off on the server for years.
Yes, the Russians have been using these mini-reactors on some of their missions.

Unfortunately the average life expectancy for a musician is 27 years.
As we all know, life begins at ejaculation.
That's why masturbation is wrong.
If you masturbate, you've committed lust in your heart and spilled an innocent life on the ground.
LOL, good catch
wow that's the first outright troll post i've seen from kdawson. I guess he figured not enough of his jizm was on the site.
Yes, the NSA has given us a 100% guarantee that their most secure encryption method and servers will be used.
That's not really a valid comparison though.

So this is supposed to cast doubt on his credentials as a climate scientist... how, exactly?
It shows he is not really the best interpreter of scientific evidence.
The evidence for evolution is beyond overwhelming. If he can't even realize that, I don't put much stock in his opinion of climate evidence.
...is a proponent of intelligent design and rejects evolution.

It self insures.

I stand corrected.
I was just remembering a lot of the recent launches where it has taken 4, 5, or even 6 attempts due to weather or other problems.
Is because whatever web design company was offered the job of setting up the site and converting the data RIDICULOUSLY inflated their quote just because it was the gov and they knew how much they could suck out given the prior precedents of waste.
It's betting scrubbed.
Only a 30% chance of acceptable launch weather tomorrow.
This bill would not be necessary if Republicans had not banned it in 2006.
So...better late than never to the logic train.

No it was not. This announcement is about rebranding Orion as the MPCV.
Everyone following NASA even remotely knew that Orion was going to be the MPCV.
