If I'm understanding that article correctly, in Canada it's an actual investment plan, meaning that what you get out is based on what you put in (as opposed to what you get out being based on what workers are putting in this year). Is that correct?
If so, then doesn't it make even less sense that moving should cause you to sacrifice your investment, seeing as how it's an actual investment?
And if not, how is that not a pyramid scheme as well?
We're going to DX11 because nothing needed DX10. Had DX10 seen wider adoption, there would have been incentive to keep things compatible with it, but when nobody's using it...
It makes perfect sense; the companies have enough money as-is, so they don't see a need to expand, since their customers are obviously happy as-is. If the government is willing to pay for their expansion, fine, but they only want it on their terms.
Actually, you have that the wrong way around—cable subscriptions are analogous to general tax money (since everybody who subscribes is subsidizing the 80% of the channels that they don't watch), while the commercials are funding the specific programs you watch.
And I would prefer a structure that would let me reward shows that I watch instead of propping up Food Network and Lifetime, personally. But until then, there's always streaming websites and DVD.:)
I haven't seen the clip in question, so I don't know about "deserv[ing]... the best health care possible," but there's a big difference between the military, who is employed by the government, and you and me on the street.
One that was in desperate need of funds, if my local newspaper was to be believed. They made it sound like they were going after people who owed more than "a few dollars", though.
To be fair, it is possible to obtain unpaid collections that young—for example, if you owe your local library a sizable amount of cash in fees and fines.
It's not necessarily a new version, but if the library was ever updated between 10.5.0 and 10.5.8, the combo pack would have that library and replace the existing install.
The theory is that US citizens should be able to figure out for themselves whether what they're watching is news or editorial content, as opposed to having government regulators step in and control the press.
I'm still not sure how well that's worked out for us, though.
If that didn't work, then I'd buy a new iPod from Apple, wait about two months, and then return the exploded iPod to apple for a refund. Apple would probably refuse, so I'd end-up filing a credit card chargeback.
Then Apple tells the credit card company that no, you didn't try to return that second iPod you bought, the serial number of the one you tried to return didn't match, and you don't get the money back.
Really wish there was a 5 second chance for you to hang up and not get charged, or better still abolish voicemail altogether. Let people run their own answering machines if they desire but ban voicemail
That works fine for landlines, but for people who only have cell phones, they can't run an answering machine.
The "bastard child" appellation applies to XP 64. Under Vista, hardware manufacturers have been pretty good about providing 64-bit support, as far as I can tell.
There are vertical points in Doom, but they're faked. You can't actually look up/down (in the original; some source ports added this feature). The game engine ignores the fake z axis when determining collision (so to hit the imps towards the end of E1M1, you're actually aiming at the wall below them, but they're magically hit anyways).
Doom may have looked more 3D than Wolfenstein, but the gameplay was pure 2D still.
2000 > XP or Vista > 7 might be better analogies--lots of fluff changes, less so under the hood.:)
(Or at least, for 10.4/10.5. Not sure how to classify 10.6--lots of under the hood, but very little fluff.)
That's straightforward for works where there's one or some primary author whose contributions are easily defined. (Though even a cowritten prose work—versus an anthology—pushes this boundary.) But that can't be so easily applied to anything with mass authorship--like most software, or movies, or television shows. Someone needs to have primacy for making decisions about the distribution of the work, or else it's very unlikely that there will ever be an agreement to distribute.

How is a percentage unethical? It's exactly what they're being charged by the credit card processors.

Net Neutrality would prevent other providers from refusing to carry Comcast content. It wouldn't prevent Comcast from refusing to provide content.

User fees and general tax money is automatically bad. Pick one or the other. (Preferably user fees.)

You paid into the pyramid scheme for forty years; why should it matter where you live when it's time for you to get paid back?

You're allowed to aggregate GPL'd works with non-GPL'd works without causing other works in the aggregation to be tainted by the GPL.

They can dictate other pieces by refusing to sign future discs from noncompliant publishers.

If you don't want your machine to reboot unexpectedly, don't use automatic updates.

Then by that logic, neither was Doom.
Yes, it was.

It works as well as XP for old stuff. It works better than XP for new stuff supporting DirectX 10/11.
