    You should lookup the word Investor sometime: Dangerous, Expensive, Unquantified Risks, are all things investors AVOID.

    Try again Potsy.

    Yeah reading is a real bitch.

    It's a story if this feature is removed. Since the SDK is still being developed time will tell.

    How was the API undocumented. FYI if this feature is undocumented and not supported then the original contention that Google will not allow local content streamed is still valid.

    How exactly do you know Universities run a lean ship? Where's the audit?

    LMOL no Potsy the Federal government did not subsidize housing. Credit Default Swaps caused the economic collapse in 2008. Rampant speculation by investors in the housing market fueled mortgage back securities. Theses securities were ticking time bombs.

    Go home moron. FYI Mozart died a pauper and he had benefactors during his life to enable him to compose music.

    Yeah it has nothing to do with all the high salaries they pay college administrators...

    Actually it does when you have to repay loans. When you leave college with $30k or more, you need to know how much money you are going to make in order to pay back that loan.

  11. Re:I'm pleased on Misinterpretation of Standard Causing USB Disconnects On Resume In Linux · · Score: 1

    Really? Read the comments: "The computer is required to wait a minimum of ten milliseconds before imitating any work." Linux is functioning properly. USB devices are violating the spec. How long is the OS suppose to wait? 10ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 30 ms....that the problem. All the author discovered was a work around. Nothing more.

  12. Except energy companies are pre-billing you for building a nuclear power plant to recoup the cost up front before building the plant!

  13. It was the earth quake jackass not the tsunami that caused the problem. And I guess your are ignoring the recent reports of leaks from the plant. But hey put your money where your mouth is and move there.

    Please. Drama queen much. What the hell has she sacrificed for her country, do tell? She had a blog detailing SCO litigation. Stop the presses. And yes she was scared.

  15. Re:Disappointing Decision on Joining Lavabit Et Al, Groklaw Shuts Down Because of NSA Dragnet · · Score: 1

    Bullshit! Seriously how they hell can you be in the law and not know the history of the law and the travesties of justice throughout history. Seriously. FYI FISA has always been a shame. It's a rubber stamp court. All it served as was document processing.

    FYI Groklaw was not about the rule of law. It was simply about detailing the SCO litigation. Period. It then began to branch off and cover other litigation such as Apple v. Samsung. This is where she headed off the deep end. Not in covering the litigation but in taking it personally. Thinking there was some holy war against Google and open source, as if Google was a white knight and not a corporation.

    She needs help.

    She's being a drama queen. She's developed a persecution complex and it has been getting worse. Read her posts about Apple and Samsung litigation. She took that very personally. Something she didn't do with the SCO lawsuit. Her identity was exposed by Maureen O'Gara but she persisted. Now she finds about the NSA and she runs for the hills? Seriously? To assume that no one is watching is the height of idiocy.

  18. Check Please.... on Predictors of Suicidal Behavior Found In Blood · · Score: 1

    “Suicide is not just related to mental illness,” he says. “It’s a very complex behaviour.”"

    Self promoting prick. It's mental illness. Stop trying to elevate your work beyond what it is.

    "Niculescu says that this type of work is usually done with much larger sample sizes but that he and his colleagues used rigorous, multi-step methods to weed out false positives."

    You have a fucking small sample size. Deal with it! And the sample was that of men with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Not everyone who commits suicide is bipolar disorder or schizophrenic!! And in the end it was the clinical measures of mood and mental state that were the predictor of suicide, not the blood markers. In fact without the blood markers you can still predict people who would commit suicide. So what's the purpose of the blood markers? Could it be you have a product you want to sell.

    Yeah anybody can do that without numbers. Without the knowing what you paid for college, your living expenses and what you earned your statements are meaningless. Thanks for playing Potsy.

    You doubt. That rich. Publish a paper then talk to me. It's the distraction moron. Hand writing notes DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It is know different than typing notes. The point is to actively process the information. How you record it, hand writing or typing, does not matter.
