    Does rounding now mean the number is more than 50% off from the original number it came from?

    TO echo the AC in response the problem is congress doing things which is causing an energy crisis in the first place. Regulation on domestic harvesting of oil and natural gas mean we buy it from terrorist supporting countries abroad. Regulation and restriction against nuclear power plants by none other then John Kerry himself means that new safe nuclear technology that will actually REDUCE the amount of nuclear waste we have has been prevented from being put into use. It is the moronic ACTIONS of congress which created the problem.

    Exactly. Regulation and legislative changes regarding malpractice will fix the main part of the problem.

    Knowing WHICH city you are in might be important for you to get your argument across. Or it might disprove your argument which is why you left it out?

    Correct. So the SOLUTION is to regulate the Healthcare Insurance Industry and inject direct competition into the market. That way companies will not be allowed to make money off of denying medical insurance claims and effectively killing off their most expensive customers.

    The reason these articles appear monthly is so that when IPv4 addresses really do become scarce and the price for them shoots up then the people who saw it coming can say "I told you so. I jumped up and down and screamed about it and you did nothing. NOTHING!".

    So get business class. It's not like they check to see if you are a legitimate company or anything. Any bum on the street could sign up for a business class account. I should know.

    No actually you missed the facetious nature of the comments completely. They stem from the fact that Microsoft overcharged for their operating system. They even refuse to lower the price on their now out of date Windows XP operating system and continue to sell it for full-price.

    Balloon Help is just about the most annoying feature ever to be introduced to the computing world.

    It took them 4 years and went over budget. The main noticeable loss was the custom reports written off the old oracle database.

    Rarely do you need the actual emails to do a project. Usually it is the attachments. Saving attachments locally is trivial.

    Gmail has awesome calendaring. It allows you to share calendars. Your events can be emailed to you to remind you of them. It fully integrates with the email system. Lastly you can invite other people to your events through the calendar. What more do you need?

    Can you sue a college if their email system crashes and the email is not restored till after your paper is due? What kind of question is that? Of course not. Back up your shit if you are that worried.

    I agree. The professors and staff need email addresses but NOT the students. Unless they get to keep these email addresses for life in which case it MIGHT make sense.

  24. Just more of the same from Verizon on Verizon Exposes the Wrong 1,200 Email Addresses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am not surprised in the least that this happened coming from Verizon. They hire incompetent assholes all the time there. Their business model is how to screw the customer out of the most money and provide the least amount of service. I can't stand Verizon.

    Note that their cell phone business is completely separate from the rest of the morons. Neither business unit talks to each other and neither knows what the other is doing. If the wireless side of the business had any brains they would split off and change names. Verizon is associated with incompetence and greed.
