Those numbers are all calculated. They simply aren't reported as often. And they are all calculated on the same document. The number you are mentioning is the U5 unemployment rate which includes unemployed and looking, and unemployed and not looking, it's 9.6%: http://portalseven.com/employment/unemployment_rate_u5.jsp. The U6 rate includes U5 plus those who are under employed, i.e. taking part-time, or low wage work, it's 14.5%: http://portalseven.com/employment/unemployment_rate_u6.jsp
Because the customer who lost the phone was still in contract and unlikely to switch anyway. So they weren't losing a customer, and were generally gaining a customer with the new phone.
I had a similar experience with satellite radio. My receiver was stolen from my car. The local detective asked me to call the radio company and have them authorize access for the detective on the radio. The detective would then be called when someone activated the radio, and he could go question them, and also recover the radio.
The company begged me not to do this, because the new person was likely to be someone who had purchased it online or some other such thing and not the original thief, and that person would likely not purchase another radio and subsequently wouldn't subscribe.
Except until that young person get's an expensive illness or has an accident. Then they are in a position of being destroyed financially. That's how ALL insurance works. You aren't supposed to get the same amount out that you put in. You pay insurance because you generally can't afford the worst case scenario.
Your points above haven't been addressed because they aren't true.
If a company truly hid flaws in their drugs/devices intentionally, the fines levied on said company would be enormous, and people who made those decisions would be put in prison. Citation needed. And you better have more than one to prove your "grand conspiracy".
Insurers DO NOT LIKE extra testing. They absolutely do not make money on all those copays. They still have to pay for the procedure itself, which is usually in the hundreds to thousands of dollars. What they really like is people who pay the premiums monthly and don't use medical care. Any time you are using medical care, they aren't making as much money, period. The reason doctors order excessive tests is to cover themselves from malpractice lawsuits.
Actually, you'd be surprised how few applicants there are in many fields. A job switch is a risk, what if it doesn't work out? Employers have seen exceptionally low rates of turnover for the last several years. Many have taken advantage of this. From a hiring perspective, I have had a hard time finding qualified applicants in several fields (Clinical Informaticist, at the moment, although those are in short supply because of the push for electronic medical records). I have spoken with several people who want to leave their current employer, but aren't willing to take the risk until the economy picks up.
Note: The above applies mostly to higher skilled/education fields. YMMV.
To be fair, they also scan them to extract all the data they need to populate your recruitment file, saving them the time on data entry. This includes job history, education, etc. OO.org will save in Word format, but I don't trust that it's going to appear exactly the way I expect. So I usually submit the PDF and make it clear that a Word version is available. Although, often, they specifically ask for Word format.
All the weather reporting I've seen has said this has nothing to do with global climate change, but rather a funky set of events involving the jet stream that's keeping a high pressure system stuck in place. It's the same reason we don't blame climate change when a low pressure system brings arctic air down and we get 60 degree days in July (I'm in Michigan).
I stand behind the science of climate change, but everything I've seen has said this is just a natural occurrence, albeit rare.

I have both a Sony PRS-505, and an iPad. I use both, for different types of reading. The Sony is wonderful for novels and any other book that reads linearly and requires little backtracking/browsing. I use the iPad for reference, technical, and text books. The resolution and super fast refresh are much better for non-linear reading, studying, etc. That said, because I tend to have the iPad with me anyway, I do quite a bit of novel reading as well. I far prefer the reading experience on the Sony, but you're more likely to read on a device that you have with you, and if I have only the option of bringing one, I'll bring the device that is more flexible.
All of that said, try to read an iPad in the sun, then pull out a Kindle... ++Kindle
They're trying exactly this with species of algae. Unfortunately, they have problem with scale, and with separation, if I remember correctly. But it's a problem that's being actively worked on.
Have those shared assets stipulated as to be destroyed as part of the divorce agreement where necessary. Facebook account for example. Delete it, and start two new accounts. It has the force of contract behind it, so if one party goes back to reinstate it, you have legal recourse.
The problem with American eating habits is almost surely the massive amounts of CALORIES we take in. Asian diets consist of rice (carb) as the primary calorie source. The difference is in quantity. I've seen too many fad diets, like South Beach and Atkins. It isn't some silver bullet. It's not carbs, or proteins, or fats. It's calories. There are dozens of calculators online that will tell you how many calories (roughly) you burn in a day in general, without exercise. Make what you eat less than that, and you will lose weight. Eat exactly, or slightly more than the resting caloric intake, and exercise, and you will lose weight.
I agree, that some of our eating habits encourage overeating. Simple carbs get burned up quickly, and leave us feeling hungry. Sugary drinks are quick easy calories that don't do much for taking away hunger. But the root is truly calories.
I think they'd be better served not destroying these networks, but monitoring them. It wouldn't be that hard to put some transceivers out there on the authorities side and do some rudimentary triangulation, and listen in to their conversations. They could even go a step further and start sending bad information. Even if encrypted, these systems have a weak point in that there have to be a lot of devices to run such an operation. So finding someone with a key(s) shouldn't be too extraordinarily difficult.
If the plant is on fire, they shouldn't be sending an email. That sounds trite, but professionally, people need to learn the relative priorities of different modes of contact. I check my email 3-4 times a day, and maybe once in the evening. The result is that you better plan on waiting upwards of 4 hours for a response. If you needed a quicker response, you should have called or walked to my office. If you do one of those things, it had better be worth it.
If I remember correctly the types of accidents are vastly different. Rear-end collisions increased, which are much lower risk, and t-bone collisions decreased, which have a higher incidence of injury. [Citation needed]
There are lots of middling-mundane things that can add up to something useful, though. Patterns of movement, patterns of communication etc. Others have said they only use encryption when they want to secure something, the problem is that anyone snooping knows immediately that the only thing you've ever encrypted is important, and generally where it went to. Whereas if encryption was used for everything, or most things, it's much harder to work through the morass.
While you are technically correct, there are a large number of people who like and adhere to the idea that global warming is a conspiracy. And anything that props up their belief therein will be taken not as evidence, but as absolute proof that it's a conspiracy and can't possibly be true.
The idea is interesting, but the "fresh" batch we voted in (tea partiers) are some of the worst we have, and are causing enormous problems getting things done.
This is the important part. Right now it takes quite a bit of time to navigate to the app, configure the time, or location for the reminder, and then type in, or speak in the reminder text. That takes a lot of time, and means the feature goes unused. I am horribly forgetful, and a feature that gives me the ability to make quick reminders and also make location based reminders IS a killer app for me.
'Making a popular set of bike brakes wasn't really the point of the project,' says blogger Kevin Fogarty. 'The project was to find out how to make the wireless connections between two components of a system that has to operate in real time...'
It was an academic exercise to test some theories on how to build high-speed, reliable wireless systems.
The German trial got some of this press in mainstream news (although, arguably, not enough), and it was just a few weeks ago. So, this one probably won't get much press.

I apologize. I didn't mean to glorify the rice diet, but rather use it as a counter point to the "carb" myth.
