Sounds to me like your IT staff doesn't know how to do their job effectively. Many companies and schools with hundreds or thousands of computers are able to stay patched. It might be more prudent to fire your current IT staff and hire some people that are capable enough to apply patches quickly and remotely without trouble.
if Keith had been allowed to put the fact that it was Scientology he was picketing (rather than making it sound like a real church) the jury would have acquitted him
This implies that its acceptable to picket Scientogoly(a fake church) while it is wrong to picket a "real" church, ie real as in christian? Just what kind of bigoted ridiculousness is this, no matter what church it is, it is acceptable(ie constitutionaly protected) to picket and protest its presence.
If that's what you want, why take out insurance at all? Just keep those premiums to yourself, and when you fall ill, you pay for you.
I partially do, I have a medical savings account where I put pre tax dollars to pay for normal and forseen medical expenses, like dental work, office visits, and over the counter medicines.
So the goal of our society should be to equalize quality of life between the rich and poor and the sick and healthy?
Easy way to do that would be to make everyone sick. You've started by making me sick.
Each individual has a personal responsibility for their own health, seek treatment early, get regular checkups, and you know what it also means provide for yourself. Despite the rainbow society you want to live in, I don't feel that paying for other peoples treatment should be compulsory. If we all had to pay for our own treatment, maybe we could make things sufficiently cheap such that people who want to help can, by donating the extra money to charity. But my bet is people who sound off about helping the poor/sick, won't put their money where their mouth is.
We can start by allowing insurance companies to surcharge black people for sickle-cell anemia. It isn't fair that white people should have to pay for a disease they don't even get. It's cost sharing with no risk component at all.
Not to sound like a ass, but sounds good to me.
The fact of the matter is that as insurance companies are exposed to more risk, they up their rates. Why should I be forced to subsidize other peoples bad health? Insurance is in essence a form of gambling, you are gambling that the amount you pay in will be less than the amount you receive in medical care. If my health insurance plan has to subsidize every person with a known horrible condition that could cost my insurance company thousands or millions per patient, my rates would be ridiculous. And you know what, I want cheap rates. But the implication around/. is that this makes me a bad person, because I want to pay for me, and not for the guy who is known to have some horrible genetic condition.
This fails to address the core issue of why Apple went with Intel rather than AMD in the first place, and thats volume. Apple is concerned AMD would not be able to produce the necessary chips for Apple in timely fashion. Buying them would mean they have to supplement what can be produced at AMD with chips purchased from Intel. It doesn't take a genius to realize that an exclusive contract with Intel is more lucrative and realistic than using AMD or purchasing them.
The solution is obvious to anyone who actually took the math courses. You weight the grade in math courses differently such that a B in a hard math course is worth more than a A in basketweaving. Make it so the maximum GPA anyone can attain without a math course is 3.5. I know this seems like witchcraft, but trust us math geeks.
You can't just say that this 20% growth on population is just because of the births, it's also because many people just didn't die.
Your population can't grow because people don't die. It can only grow from births or immigration. Also where do you get 20%? 18 / 270 * 100 = 6.66% increase in population.
Yeah but how many 8 years old were there back when DVD was released?
This is a valid point, however, it still comes no where near the 20% you touted. I dont know exactly how to get the numbers we want but given the right data and knowing what the target demographic for Casino Royale sales, you could determine the increase of population in that demographic. Which is virtually guaranteed to be smaller than the population growth.
Yes. because all those 18 million 8 year olds and under are guaranteed to be the key consumers of Casino Royale. The most arbitrary number in your post is the 10% (ass)umption.
My guess is that Diebold's discovery motion will either be granted or denied...

De Vellis was an employee with Blue State Digital, an Internet company that provides technology to presidential campaigns, including Obama's. De Vellis said he resigned from the company "so as not to harm them, even by implication." The company issued a statement Wednesday, saying he was terminated.
"Pursuant to company policy regarding outside political work or commentary on behalf of our clients or otherwise, Mr. de Vellis has been terminated from Blue State Digital effective immediately."
This is ridiculous tripe. Multi-threaded programming is hard not because the libraries are hard to use but because it requires alot of planning and thought to decide if you can actually gain a benefit by going multi-threaded.
The main benefit of multiple cores will not happen in userland. It will be in the kernels and the libcs'. Once userland processes can effectively get memory from the heap with minimal locking we will see a performance boost system wide(I'm talking 100 processes can all request memory from the heap with 0 locking). This is why cores are important, because we will be running more and more applications on our computers, we won't need the performance in a specific app, we will need all of our apps to be responsive all the time.
How the open source community views Novell is reminiscent of the madonna-whore complex.
1. We can only love a perfect(technically) and chaste(doesn't screw msft behind our backs) woman
2. However we want her to be sexy(successful) and do the nasty(make money).
In essence we can never be satisfied with a company's performance and also love them at the same time. We are doomed to hate Novell and yet we desperately want her.
What's the alternative? Any language sufficiently low level to program an operating system in will have the same issues C does, because you have the ability to manipulate memory addresses you can create unexpected behavior. Many "better" languages as you suggest wont solve the issue, if they are intepreted the interpreter is likely written in C, or a language sufficiently low level to have the same issues as C. Which only means that bugs are hidden from you by some layer that you dont understand and maybe don't even have access to the source of. If you are relying on some hardware byte code interpreter.
Really your the fool for thinking his argument has any more merit because of his claims. Any appeal to authority is fallacious, the authority doesn't have to be improper.
As a result, measurements performed on one system seem to be instantaneously influencing other systems entangled with it. But quantum entanglement does not enable the transmission of classical information faster than the speed of light (see discussion in next section below).
and here:
Although no information can be transmitted through entanglement alone, it is possible to transmit information using a set of entangled states used in conjunction with a classical information channel. This process is known as quantum teleportation. Despite its name, quantum teleportation cannot be used to transmit information faster than light, because a classical information channel is required.
Was not Linux preemptive multitasking before Windows, POP3, SMTP/sendmail, DNS/BIND, Kerberos, telnet, ftp, http, ssl, TCP/IP itself, and probably more.
Are you seriously suggesting that Linux is the originator of all these technologies? or is that just the implication of your words without it being your intent?
Furthermore what does that matter, some people gave their code away with the intent that companies use it how they see fit. So don't go suggesting this is wrong or bad or in any way hypocritical of any company that protects its own IP while using the IP of others who freely give it away.

NetBSD is probably closer to this than anyone in the BSD world...

I don't see how this can possibly be the case since new code generated by NetBSD uses a 4 clause license which includes the advertising clause.
In other words no, NetBSD is in fact farthest from eliminating the advertising clause...
