It all depends on what the definition of "named after" is.
If, for example, "named after" means to give a label to something or someone based on the previous existence of something, then I could say the following: A was named after B. A is not necessarily B, and B is not necessarily A.
If, for example, "named after" means the word "is", then someone could say the following: I named my child Barack Obama. Therefore, my child is President!
By the way fellow Americans, don't forget April 17th named after tax day this year.
Wait, what about the cost to recycle the old product? Eventually it's going to need to be recycled after it falls out of use.
I also say there is nothing wrong with using an old product until it dies or becomes a problem. But that can be a personal choice that isn't inflicted on anyone else.
How many 5+ year old pieces of technology do you use? NEC MultiSync LCD1760V since November 2006. eMachines T1090 since February 2002. Panasonic RC-6310 alarm clock since the 1990s. A Galaxy brand microwave from 2006/2007, not much used anymore, but still works good enough.
I also have a Nokia 6030 cell phone that is 4.5 years old, and a Skype CIT400 phone that is 4 years old, if I recall correctly.
Oh, and when I got a laptop years back, I upgraded my backpack because the old one wouldn't do not being made for a laptop. Plus, it had a hole in it and it was probably time anyways, not that I threw it away yet.
I don't know the full story. But if the article is of any indication, it sounds like it was voyeurism.
What I question is why Clementi committed suicide. Some of the comments on WSJ indicate it may not have been related to Ravi, and yet the jury was biased because they didn't see the suicide notes. Read the comment that starts with "If you carefully read the statements from Tylerâ(TM)s parents" on the article page.
On another note, should motivation make a crime, or should motivation only be used for sentencing?
I don't fully understand the issue. Looking at the article, it mentions something about overlap in the spectrum. Is it that some TV stations are so close to what 4G mobile devices will use that it will somehow cause interference? Isn't it better to avoid that overlap to begin with rather than potentially ruin it for some people?
I'd go as far as to say those people affected deserve to get free limited cable or satellite paid for by the spectrum holder. And for those without the choice, well, hopefully something will work out.
How many users fake MSIE 6.0 user agent to get webpages to load better. Or have their older browser fake as a new one to get sites to load (the ones that block IE6 completely).
About number 7, what precisely are you saying? Because if money is contingent on GPA, I'd be a bit concerned some might cheat if it means more money. I don't know if that's realistic though. Then there is the issue of difficult classes versus "cake" classes.
I think the federal government needs to consider ensuring the first two years of college are free, tuition-wise. Regardless of college, and regardless of one's economic background, subsidized by more taxes on higher-income earners and/or corporate income taxes.
So, if an out-of-state retailer, which has no nexus within Washington state, were to pay sales tax, instead of having to figure out which locale to base the sales tax on, then keep it in their records what amount was collected goes to where, they'd just collect 8.2% under a special code in my idea.
Then we'd look at statistics. Based on non-online sales, we'd look at the total gross receipts. We'd also look at the gross receipts for all the locales. Let's say a given taxing locale is responsible for 0.31% of all the gross receipts. Then that locale would get 0.31% of the revenue collected under this special code. The algorithm may be readjusted if it turns out some locales tend to do way more online purchases than others, possibly due to remoteness.
But yes, some people may be paying more in sales tax than if the online retailer were to collect based on their taxing locale. But unless someone is making large purchases, I can't imagine it being more than a hand full of dollars per year. I mean, if someone is "overpaying" in taxes 1% per year, and that person only spends $1k per year on online purchases from out-of-state businesses, that'd be $10 more per year.
Another option would be instead of having the sales tax rate based on the average sales tax rate, it could be based on the lowest sales tax rate in the state, which, in Washington state, would probably end up being 7.0%. Although, that still would be restricted to out-of-state businesses which have no nexus within the state. While it still wouldn't equalize things with brick and mortar stores, it would bring them closer.
I feel there is a simple solution. If states could adopt a special sales tax for online purchases primarily. Here is how it'd work.
It'd have a special sales tax code for when filed. The sales tax rate would be based on the average sales tax rate for the state. Gross sales tax revenue divided by gross receipts, excluding online purchases. And the business must not have a nexus within the state in order to opt into this.
So maybe it works out to 8.1%. Then if a business sells something to someone in that state, the business only has one rate to deal with if they qualify for this special sales tax rate. That is, if they have no nexus within that state.
The state would then take the revenue under this special code and divide it amongst the locales based on a fairness algorithm.
Or in other words, if there's a specific channel someone wants to watch, but is on a very expensive tier, that being the only way to get said channel, hence the problem.
I'm kind of curious how well Comcast MyTV is going to do in those markets available to receive it. Although I'm not sure if it's cheaper.
I'm in America, but I really don't like this idea. I like the idea of freedom to travel. This discourages people from traveling. The rich should have no issue with this, but for anyone not so lucky, well, this is going to hurt.
Tax the value of the vehicle, not how much it travels.
I thought the fever was to slow down the replication of the virus. Hence taking medicine to lower one's fever helps the virus replicate faster. Although, if the fever is high enough, there's danger in and of itself.
Well, maybe this is only feasible for areas where it's "winter" all year round?
Is this only feasible if the servers can be left on 365 days per year? Can they be shut down during the summer as other suggest, while a clone is used in winter-areas?
I am glad you mentioned that xkcd. It's funny, and quite possibly true. I don't know why someone marked you down as a troll. If anything, it may be off-topic.
Microsoft's decision to remodel Windows as they did is their choice. Their choice is going to affect who migrates and who doesn't. Personally, I enjoy the look and feel of XP. I do not like the feel of Windows 7.
But, when it comes to security... Who knows whether Windows 7 is truly more secure than XP? Time will tell. But, there are other things someone needs to do to ensure their security.
But concerning the topic: IRC, which so few people mention.
It's not that they misunderstand what bail is. I think the article is lacking in details.
This was in Ireland, correct?
I'd want to know if the teenager had the option of paying a reasonable monetary bail.
One final note. To make the teenager know what it is like to have something of value taken from him? What if he is innocent? I really hope the article was poorly written.

You're kidding, right? You're not wearing yours 24/7? You should only have to put on your tinfoil hat once. Yes, that includes sleeping and showering.

Yes, it's better to give the numbers, all the numbers. Then we wouldn't have issues with HD Lite being thrown around.

Isn't there the question of whether this is unconstitutional here in America? I mean, didn't Obama sign it without it being passed by Congress?
Please let it be that Obama is vastly abusing power out of hopes that SCOTUS will get involved.
I don't think what you're saying makes sense.
Take Washington state for example.
According to this, I think the average sales tax rate is 8.2%. http://www.dol.wa.gov/vehicleregistration/ftrefunds.html

Yeah, it's kind of hard to tell who is lying. That's why we need to do a Google search on it.
(Lame attempt at a joke. I may have excellent karma, but I'm sure this will drop it.)
What about the cost to go to medical school? How much is the health care cost comprised of in order to help the doctor repay student loans?
I'm more and more wanting UHC to happen here in America.
It seems like it would be a huge financial drain. Someone would be profiting, that's for sure.
Exercise is an important factor. If bicycling ends up saving on health care costs when one is older, yeah, you're right.
The downside to bicycling is incliment weather.
I hope the posts mentioning exercise gets modded up.
I'm in America, but I really don't like this idea. I like the idea of freedom to travel. This discourages people from traveling. The rich should have no issue with this, but for anyone not so lucky, well, this is going to hurt.

Didn't Obama tell people to contact their members of Congress which caused the House site to go down or something?

I am not a doctor or medical student.
Learning goes both ways. If a teacher doesn't get the opportunity to read the essays, then the teacher knows only what the teacher knows.
Reading a student's assignment creates the opportunity to learn something different.
On another note, I enjoyed the following comment: http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2368596&cid=37015256
This would be a good thing if it didn't mean a consolidation of money in the hands of a few. Right?
Well, maybe this is only feasible for areas where it's "winter" all year round?
