I call bullshit, due to new laws the company I work for changed us all to high deductible insurance. I now pay 250 a paycheck for healthcare and the insurance company does not have to pay a dime until I spend $3,000 out of pocket, so yes a small few get some help, but a large group who sacrificed a lot to ensure our families had something get pushed to the edges, I get a health savings account, but I have to save $3,000 before I can see a doctor with out it costing me more than that. As for paying for preventive care My daughter needed some hearing test early in the year, she went in one day before her birthday, and the insurance company agrees this falls under preventive care, but since it was not her birthday they did not have to cover, if I would have waited another few days it would have been covered, or hay what if they explained this clearly, as I do not have time to research all the loop holes, I work 50 - 60 hours a week with a wife who does the same. So what is this hearing test cost (to be fair they did it twice) $1,000. what did they find, nothing, they want to do an MRI, but my out of pocket will be $4,000. So I have to wait to save up $2,000 for the insurance to pay a dime, and once they do pay they are not paying the entire price, no now I hit my $5,000 expected out of pocket funding, so why do I have insurance?.. Oh ya I get fined by the Government If I don't..
The Government can mandate until they are blue in the face, but if its not profitable the insurance companies will get around it.
also from CNBC http://www.cnbc.com/id/100376831/How_Obamacare_Is_Changing_Your_Health_Benefits
COST SHIFTING
Employers will continue a push this year toward account-based health plans, also known as consumer-driven health plans. These plans come with low premiums, but high deductibles—patients are typically asked to pay the first $3,000 to $5,000 of each year's medical expenses themselves. These plans often add a health-savings account where the employee save pre-tax dollars to pay for those expenses.
Though often the employer will add money to the account as well as part of the employee's benefits, the point of these consumer-driven plans, as their name indicates, is to introduce market forces to our inefficient, price-bloated medical system.
"It's a step toward giving people more control," says Paul Fronstin, head of health-benefits research at the Employee Benefit Research Institute. "They say, 'We'll give you this pot of money and give you some exposure to the health care market.'"
read that last part with the first, over and over until 5th grade math kicks in. You have to spend $3000 before you get a dime, but you have to save the $3,000 first ($250 a month) plus the insurance premium you already pay, so you really get no health care until you save the money. So say you like me pay $250 every two weeks to cover a family of 5. that is $9,000 a year out of your pocket. So how will this bring down cost? You will pay it, have no real choice, you will still pay for insurance and now a new group, those who make money off setting up savings plans to meet government regulations is profiting, I see no incentive for the medical industry to lower cost, hell no they have your money already. And since my medical insurance only covers in network doctors, its not like I can shop around.. They all charge the rate negotiated with the insurance company.. WAKE the fuck up.. Obama and his plan is a insurance dream, it is corporate welfare..
@90, Give him your time. You are missing the point of life. You don't know what he has and are just amazed, let him teach you some of what he works with, Start the day with hay Dad show me some of the things you have been working on. IT will be worth more to him and you in the long run, even after he is gone.
so he is more important than all the rest of the cases? who said reasonable... ??? this is a matter of the constitution and is this constitutional not reasonable. there is a court schedule which is over burdened, and there are others who are awaiting years for a murder case to move forward is that reasonable? is it reasonable the 100's of millions of dollars in damage he did, if he did it..
nothing so far is out of the bounds of our legal system which is the argument of the OP, who stated its unconstitutional.
and as for me and my job, well I would not hack into a corporation because I was upset with some politics. No I would do more to help, like I already do, feed the poor in my area, reach out and help create jobs in third world countries.. you know working to help not working to harm. We can not fix all the issues in the world, but actions come with consequences. Take action to change your world in positive ways, not destroy
he has not received life, only told he could receive life, if he stole 700 credit card numbers and used them then its the combined time for each one of those crimes, plus the continued harassment for coming out as a victim, where the group continue to use blackmail to get their way, so I am sorry If I do not feel sorry for the high and mighty who believe they can commit crimes to prove their point because they know what is right, all to prove a point in a case for the traitor Manning who betrayed his fellow soldiers not because he believed in anything but because he was not getting promoted, he had no ideal what was in that data, did not have time to look at it before release, and now this Hammond commits crimes in protest and he is a hero.. Sorry I am not following it.
"8 months with no trial has completely violated his constitutional rights, therefore the state should not be able to charge him."
???
He was indited in March, where he went to court, There was no bail request from his lawyers, so he waits for the courts schedule to open for the case, which was July 23rd, where he did request bail but was denied. In that inditement the prosecution request time to gather evidence, which comes to now, when the scheduled opens and time is up for the prosecution. In the constitution he is given right to a speedy trial, but what does that mean? Well normally when ever the courts have the ability, or laws set by the state, but in this case this is his third time in court so he has not been waiting, so no his constitutional rights have not be violated.
but how were the actions of Hammond a good thing for people to hold up, The attitude of I do not agree with you so I will destroy your property is a childish way to act, and the conspiracy theories surrounding this case make it hard to tell truth from fiction.
open source has to be vetted and checked before it is allowed to be used, most software I see being developed for DoD, is really just for one group and they normally do not vet the code. But the use of foreign programmers is handled thought the contact and FAR. Like we can use over seas programmers on our project, but the software has to be sent to the DoD test range before implemented, if we use cleared US programmers, they do no security checks. Is it right.. no all software should be checked but its the rules, and surprisingly we get in trouble if we go beyond the contract and implement a security check the Government did not ask for, as they will say we charged hours to unauthorized work.
I have a customer who has 1,500 desktop all have been using thin clients for five years now. Now these are Trusted Solaris using Sun Rays, giving them access to multiple classified systems from a single thin client and we replaced five physical desktop under each desk. So we reduced cost, and given the customer more flexibility. Plus now they have 2 24" monitors on each desk with multiple "Desktops" open.
Another customer likes the ideal of not having to replace workstations every 2 -3 years.
It all matters on the Goal.
you could buy a bond and not insurance
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr18.htm
Types of financial responsibility
A motor vehicle liability insurance policy
A cash deposit of $35,000 with DMV
A DMV issued self-insurance certificate
A surety bond for $35,000 from a company licensed to do business in California.
so no, you are not required to buy car insurance from anyone in CA just to drive a car. You just have to have money to pay for an accident.
I thought the definition of Dwarf Planet was:
Large Enough to be round (that is enough mass to create a Spheric shape). Both meet this requirement even if Pluto is bigger
Orbit the Sun. Only Pluto
Have a clear Orbit no on Pluto and no on Eris
Ceres is the only other object that is unquestioned as a Dwarf Planet. If Pluto is seen as bigger than Eris, then given that it is dose not have a clear orbit for as much as I know.. which is not much, means it should not be listed, or never should have been, as a Dwarf Planet.
Depending on DOD system, The New DISA Gold Disk and the WASP should have Win 7 as a part of the check. I am testing this week to see if the Aug versions did indeed check. This would take care of you SRTM and testing Phase.
If its Navy, I am working on adding it to DDAMS, once testing is complete.
Slow I know, but getting there.
Wow so you spec out a system twice as powerful and this means something,
Dell E6500 Sucks.. Work pays for it so it does the job paid for, but playing SC2 nope. IT stutters playing Age of empires
Probably the crappy Quadro NVS 160m video card.
But seriously comparing 4 cores to a dual core?
How dose your system @ all relate?
Plus this is a Laptop, and a Dell for that matter.. Slow ram, Slow harddrive.
Run VMware well, SC2 stutter, hell AOE III stutter.
A Shitty Dell Laptop cured me.. Can't finish the Single player and mutiplayer, well might as well forget that.
6 gigs of Ram Nvidia Card and Core 2 due can't stand up to SC2
As has to be pointed out over and over again until it gets through the thick skulls of people like you "unlimited" meant that you have unlimited data restricted by rate.
I was offered 15mbs, that is 15 mega bits per second unlimited I asked if I would use my connection 24/7, which is different that just have access to your system 24/7 under any contract. . X seconds in a in an hour (3600) time hours in a day (24) times days in a year (356) = 461,376,000 Mb a year / 8 for MB = 57,672,000MB / 12 to get monthly limit = 4,806,000 MB / 1,048,576 to get TB = 4.5TB month
time arguments come from people have no real clue, AOL and other used to charge us by the hour of connection. Users took up time on a single modem port blocking other users, and @ 28.8Kbs (later 56.6Kbs max unachievable by FCC rules) limited how much data someone could download in the time alloted. Then people started offering unlimited, but did not worry about caps because you were limited by modem speeds. This was the start of rated unlimited access with no caps. When broad band, my first was Road Runner, we had unlimited at a rate, as how much data could you possibility download, there was not much out there, plus they were competing with AOL. Today they keep the same type of contracts but complain because the ISP's never upgraded their back ends and now have problems providing what they offer. If we had true competition in Broad band internet we would not see this, it would be like the old AOL fight.
We can do a car analogy, you have unlimited highway rights limited by rate. You can drive on the highway all you want, as long as you restrict yourself to posted speed limit.
9 years before we started this campaign 400,000 civilians were killed by the Taliban. in the 9 years the US has been there 16,000 civilians have been killed by both Taliban and NATO forces. (source Christian Science Monitor)
your right, its not about the truth its about perception, but perception can be changed by telling the truth..
the people in Afghanistan would back up the US and NATO overwhelmingly if they did not truly believe that we are going to leave them, and the same old regimens of corruption were going to take back over. They just want to be on the wining side when we leave. Talking to people there, it clear that they know we don't want their country and they do not believe we are willing to stay no matter the cost and life will return to as it was before we got there.
You will most likely need a few signal combiners, and few boxes as source and a distribution switch. you will need one box per channel you want to broadcast to your tvs. of course you can time share, example from 1pm - 4pm channel 3 is cnn and the rest of the time is another channel. but this will require planing and probably cost more up front than just using a box at each TV, but in the long run you would be able to handle changes better than you do now with what I assume you are just amplifying and routing the raw cable to each TV.
something like this
http://www.campuscablesystems.com/system.php
I was having this conversation just yesterday. ABC was able to release a IPad app that played the same video they have on Hulu.. the Advertising looks the same.. it looks like they just made hulu play a different format for the IPad.
This also brings up a point, why has Adobe not made a player for flash like Apple did with YouTube? it may launch the video in its own player. This would not help for Flash games or it may work the same.. I don't know
I do know that Adobe would get more support from me if they created a real app and was denied than just crying about how Apple did not let them.
and for Hulu, they have proven to me that they are not really interested in going outside of what they already offer, so its no real surprise that they have not made an app or worked on making the site more compatible with other devices.
for me it matters little as Comcast is either filtering and giving less bandwidth to Hulu to make everything I watch pause 3 or 4 times during a show, and Verizon DSL.. Forget it.. not worth the bother
if its not the internet than I would go with Hulu can not keep up with streaming video.. but people on FIOS do not have the same issues. so I am sticking with its the fault of the internet provider.
I am of the opinion, That content providers talk about streaming media, but still do not see the market.
Was Independence Day just a remaking of war of the worlds..
Aliens come to earth, kill everyone with not a word of why
Aliens are unstoppable until they are infected with germs (virus in ID) from earth..
So will this be a remake of the war of the worlds TV show? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Worlds_(TV_series)
The movie industry set those rules.. I am sure if Netflix was allowed they woulds send them out as soon as they are released. There is no benefit to NetFlix controlling this.
hmmm..
you have not proven any sources.. except.. well your mouth.. (or typing.. )
halaberton made 3.7 billion off the Iraq contract and 2.2 off Bosnia.
Bosnia lasted 8 months.. with support for two years.
Iraq has lasted over 7 years..
which one did they make more profit off of??
Simple math.
Who did they pay... oh US citizens.. booting the local economy of the people working for them.
Any one who has done Government contracting would be able to let you know that no bid contracts by them selves is not a bad thing. Contracts are regulated by the amount of profit a company can make and what fees can be charged.
While civilian contract have no such limitation.
my who point was that the Clinton administration did approve no bid contracts.. as the response I was responding to stated "Yes, but they were not getting no-bid contracts under Clinton"
so stay with the conversation Troll..(karma to burn)
I worked for the Clinton White House dumb ass. but believe what you want.. its simple to say.. the sources I do not agree with are all conservative.
the quotes come from the LA times for one.. but can't teach stupid..
ahhh.. no
Halliburton Received No-Bid Contracts During Clinton Administration For Work In Bosnia And Kosovo. “Halliburton has also gotten some no-bid jobs in Iraq, just as it did in Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s, and for the same reason: Not a lot of other firms have similar expertise in supplying the U.S. military, and with a war on there’s no time to stage a lengthy bidding process.” (Max Boot, Op-Ed, “Don’t Blame Halliburton,” Los Angeles Times, 4/22/04)
During Clinton Administration, Halliburton Received $2.2 Billion From US Government For Work In Kosovo. “Between 1995 and 2000, while Democrat Bill Clinton ran the country and Republican Dick Cheney ran Halliburton, there was no talk of favoritism or political ties as the Houston-based company billed the government $2.2 billion for its work in Kosovo.” (James Rosen, “Is Iraq’s Reconstruction Rigged?” The [Raleigh] News & Observer, 10/5/03)
Halliburton’s Performance Praised By Former Vice President Al Gore’s “National Performance Review.” “[V]ice President Al Gore’s National Performance Review mentioned Halliburton’s performance in its Report on Reinventing the Department of Defense, issued in September 1996. In a section titled ‘Outsourcing of Logistics Allows Combat Troops to Stick to Basics,’ Gore’s reinventing-government team favorably mentioned LOGCAP, the cost-plus-award system, and Brown & Root, which the report said provided ‘basic life support services – food, water, sanitation, shelter, and laundry; and the full realm of logistics services – transportation, electrical, hazardous materials collection and disposal, fuel delivery, airfield and seaport operations, and road maintenance.’” (Byron York, “All Smoke, No Fire: The Administration’s Critics Are Wrong,” National Review, 7/14/03)

Any one who has done Government contracting would be able to let you know that no bid contracts by them selves is not a bad thing. Contracts are regulated by the amount of profit a company can make and what fees can be charged.
While civilian contract have no such limitation.
my who point was that the Clinton administration did approve no bid contracts.. as the response I was responding to stated "Yes, but they were not getting no-bid contracts under Clinton"
so stay with the conversation Troll..(karma to burn)
I worked for the Clinton White House dumb ass. but believe what you want.. its simple to say.. the sources I do not agree with are all conservative. the quotes come from the LA times for one.. but can't teach stupid..
ahhh.. no Halliburton Received No-Bid Contracts During Clinton Administration For Work In Bosnia And Kosovo. “Halliburton has also gotten some no-bid jobs in Iraq, just as it did in Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s, and for the same reason: Not a lot of other firms have similar expertise in supplying the U.S. military, and with a war on there’s no time to stage a lengthy bidding process.” (Max Boot, Op-Ed, “Don’t Blame Halliburton,” Los Angeles Times, 4/22/04) During Clinton Administration, Halliburton Received $2.2 Billion From US Government For Work In Kosovo. “Between 1995 and 2000, while Democrat Bill Clinton ran the country and Republican Dick Cheney ran Halliburton, there was no talk of favoritism or political ties as the Houston-based company billed the government $2.2 billion for its work in Kosovo.” (James Rosen, “Is Iraq’s Reconstruction Rigged?” The [Raleigh] News & Observer, 10/5/03) Halliburton’s Performance Praised By Former Vice President Al Gore’s “National Performance Review.” “[V]ice President Al Gore’s National Performance Review mentioned Halliburton’s performance in its Report on Reinventing the Department of Defense, issued in September 1996. In a section titled ‘Outsourcing of Logistics Allows Combat Troops to Stick to Basics,’ Gore’s reinventing-government team favorably mentioned LOGCAP, the cost-plus-award system, and Brown & Root, which the report said provided ‘basic life support services – food, water, sanitation, shelter, and laundry; and the full realm of logistics services – transportation, electrical, hazardous materials collection and disposal, fuel delivery, airfield and seaport operations, and road maintenance.’” (Byron York, “All Smoke, No Fire: The Administration’s Critics Are Wrong,” National Review, 7/14/03)
