I once struck a stationary object at about 70 mph without seatbelt or airbags and walked away. Now, it should be noted that the energy in a head-on collision is notably different, but I dare say that, with a bit of luck, the same result could be achieved.
That said, it was pretty bad for the van I was in.
I agree it's a bit unlikely, but I don't have nearly the same problem with a protagonist surviving a jeep crash as I do with him riding a nuclear blast on a fridge.
Look, if the patient is not actually interested in taking any of the advice this doctor is giving him, it's probably best for both parties that they no longer continue to be doctor and patient. If there's no benefit happening, there are better uses of resources available.
70 pounds less is still 70 pounds less. I'll grant that it's well within possible error margins for the overall aircraft load, but it's still something they're concerned about.
I'm sure you could calculate a pretty good estimate of the cash saved by this. It's quite possible that other savings are available as well(in fact, being the AF, it's almost certain they're doing at least something inefficiently), but that doesn't make this a bad move.
Was air force through 2011, 2T2...still hadn't seen microwaves on any of the C-17s I was on.
That said, I still don't get the worry about charging an ipad.
The correct response to this illusion of choice is to give us back choice, not to merely get rid of the illusion.
Ditch the incentives to tie insurance to employment.
Yes, but the USB 3.0 is more useful than Thunderbolt on account of nobody actually using Thunderbolt other than apple and intel. A fast port for which peripherals are not sold is a useless port. USB, on the other hand is backward compatible, and basically anything can be plugged into that.
Sony uses Memory Stick, Olympus and Fuji uses xD. These are not trivial brands. SD happens to be the most popular, yes, but both of those together are pretty equivalent overall. Really, it just depends what kind of camera you have. Overall, quite equivalent.
Backlit keyboard? Really? Yes, I'm sure that's a great example of function over form.
Considering the acer has less weight, I feel rather confident that a cd drive could still be added for less than $570.
Superfund makes the originators of the pollution liable for the costs of cleanup.
So, your single actual example of a subsidy is demonstrably wrong. And yes, if corn is subsidized, then corn ethanol is subsidized.
I'm also a bit baffled by the assumption that if one market player is subsidized, then the only "fair" solution is to subsidize everyone. Isn't cutting existing subsidies equally plausible?
"26% of users reuse the same password for important accounts such as email, banking or shopping and social networking sites."
Since when have social networking sites been important? Ditto shopping accounts. Those are only important if they store your credit card details, and most of them will let you opt out of that. Even email, I'd only consider one of my personal accounts important. The rest are glorified spam-traps.
It's not terribly easy to memorize unique, complex passwords for every single web site you visit that demands enrollment. Most people toss off the same cruddy credentials for everything not deemed important. Short of a password database, it's the only practical solution. Protect those accounts that grant access to your money. The rest, don't bother securing them unless it's a problem.
Air Force here. Same deal. I tossed out quite a few bottles of that stuff after I left active duty.
The leave policy was well enough, if you discount the paperwork and bureaucracy to actually use it. The medical policies are sketchy at best.
I've dabbled a bit in attempting outsourcing via these sites myself. The idea of modularizing tasks in small bites and outsourcing seems interesting enough, but in practice, it's difficult to do effectively.
Let's take a recent example. I, being less than skilled with graphic arts, posted on vworker.com requesting cover art for a video game, with a generic description of what it should contain(standard name + main character). Price was open for suggestion by artist, but $100 was selected as the preferred budget. Lower than you'd pay for professional work by a significant margin, sure, but if I was going to pay profession prices, I'd just hire a known professional with an actual portfolio.
So, I get responses from folks who want me to buy an image off a stock art site, then pay them to "make the cover" by adding the text to it. Seriously? As if copy and paste is a service I need to outsource. The previous time I used such a site, I eventually, after much hand-holding over minor details, managed to get a fairly mediocre image.
I'm coming to the conclusion that it's probably faster and easier to learn new skills altogether than attempt outsourcing them.
A further note: It appears this user is simply repeating the same questions endlessly. The first five I saw from him were as follows:
The one listed above.
"Why do you act black?"
"Is it hard to be such a fucking phony all the time?"
"Will you pardon Ronnie Gardocki?"
"Will you support the decriminalization of lysergic acid diethylamide?"

I think any censorship of his views are entirely deserved, and feel there is a desperate need for metamoderation or something similar to minimize this sort of systemic abuse.
Honestly, if you try out the system yourself, you'll probably start reflexively modding those questions down as well, simply because there are so many of them, and a great many of them are poorly written rants, not actual questions. Quite a few of them certainly fall into the inappropriate category, such as this one:
"Why did you twice campaign for Blagojevich? I guess you're equally corrupt." -Akira
The user "Akira" seems to be quite prolific with these, as Ive rated a bit over 300 out of over 12,000 posts, and I've already modded down or flagged at least half a dozen of these as inappropriate.
Clearly, some sort of post delay would have been a good idea.
Also not mentioned...10Mil prize. Not bad at all, though I suspect that if a car that efficient could be designed for that price, it probably already would exist. Also, the prize is split between "mainstream" and "alternative" cars. The above restriction was for the mainstream category, which I imagine will be acheived later.
Having spent quite a few years working for the US government, I assure you, they were either reimbursed for them if they were officially permitted, or warned against using them. It's not uncommon to sign a waiver giving them permission to confiscate storage media if you store sensitive stuff on it, and personally, Im rather glad to see them being responsible with information that could pose a major privacy threat.
This is correct...they've stated repeatedly that anything that circumvents that is considered botting, and of course, their in-game scripting system doesn't permit the use of a timer to avoid it being used for this.
That said, a 60 priest barely needs to pay attention while grinding lowbie mobs. And why he, as a priest cared at all about his weapon skills is beyond me.
End of story, botting is bad, form letters are bad, and this really wasn't worthy of a slashdotting.
After reading this little gem filled with baseless assumptions and "common knowledge", I took the time to go through a few of your other posts, and found them to be, if possible, more idiotic than this.
Another day, another foe...

Not to mention, killing some of the impurities'll probably help with the hangover. As for myself, Ive progressed to the point where I can occasionally afford vodka from a glass bottle.
The main problem is that most user content just really does suck. If I could get my hands on any major way of getting decent user content, I'd be a happy programmer. Hell, Id be releasing games constantly if all I had to do was code a bit. If anyone does feel motivated, feel free to email me a model or two(any popular format). Then, I'll tell you why its unusable in a game. In the unlikely event that I can actually use it, you'll get credit.:-)
Bullshit it feels like nothing. If you like it, sure, knock yourself out. And generally, if you like it, you have trouble understanding why others dont.
And before you start spouting off pearls of wisdom like "but you havent tried it", I've been in the military a year now, and running is the only form of PT that the leadership appears to understand.
I believe original post, and grandparent were referring to multiple accounts being of different MMORPGs. IE, a SWG accnt, and a WoW accnt, kind of like my current, temporary situation. Sorry, SWG, but you just got boring after umpteenillion credits, and a collection of all the cool items. Ebay for you...

Yeah, enough guys with guns can force a thing to be used. It's a pretty good barometer for how much power an organization has.

Yay, I can substitute protein with a giant pile of carbs. That's JUST what Americans need...
And that's why we use things like "average" and "estimate".

The Libertarian world sounds awesome. I wish to hear more about this.
You can't fix capitalistic cronyism by getting rid of the capitalist part.
