I personally prefer waiting an hour for a regular physical to waiting a year for a heart bypass because my country decides everyone should have health insurance whether they need it or not.
The tax burden in socialized countries is horrible and the benefit small (and yes, I have spent significant time in Europe lately)
I take this to mean the US streaming I availed myself of last month is no longer available. I only found two tv shows I was interested in and given that I only have time for two a week, I put a couple of american ones before them.
It also makes me wonder about whether the "attempt to download.avi" checkbox will be worth anything. Will there be greater restrictions to prevent ripping the video off of Youtube as there are with the network sites?
... aren't followed. The EULA for Itunes sure wasn't followed during the brief Itunes 8 debacle. My wife has never given permission for "non-affiliated" companies to make use of information about her car ownership and yet just the other day a car dealership for a completely different car company sent her a coupon for service on her specific vehicle.
The big companies don't really follow their own privacy policies if they think they can make more money selling the info than they will on legal costs dealing with the handful of irritated customers that result.
Or maybe they are sometimes vague because the program wanting control of the system is vague itself. I remember being glad the UAC actually worked when browsing a webpage recently. It looked like a completely innocent webpage but all of the sudden the UAC panel comes up with a request for who knows what attached to the website. I still am not sure what it was and why it wasn't picked up by the more robust security systems running on my computer.
1% of 6 billion spread out over the entire planet might be though. No one to bury the dead, no one to produce food and you have to walk five hundred miles to talk to your neighbors.
If not lead or as noted in the other comments here, metallic hydrogen, is some form of exotic matter a possibility?
Could we be seeing the intersection of a naked singularity running through a planet or...?
Whether it's yes or no, I'd say we have hit fairly closely to a religious discussion on slashdot. Or perhaps at least one discussing the ethics of eugenics, which in its heigh-day became nearly a religion.
1) the collection of ruminant emissions is done in the barn / holding facility for the animals.
2) there was a recent news item this past week about an AMERICAN farm using the technology to power his entire farm every day using methane-based generators. (it's not just Holland)
Kelvin is actually often referred to without "degree" in front of it, so depending on his high school science teacher, he might not have ever heard "degree Kelvin" -- mine actually told me that is was just straight "Kelvin" (and not having gone into any field requiring any knowledge of it, I have no idea if he was right).
As someone reading this at work, albeit on my lunchbreak, it would seem to me that slashdot's "news" helps me stay informed of the larger IT culture (and occasionally actually gives me helpful tips towards doing my job better).
I am not too much into web design but... Why not just have a cookie (don't all websites do this now whether we want them to or not?) that checks the previous webpage and blocks those originating from BlockShopper? Or for that matter, from any unwanted site?
I had an interesting discussion with a Scottish young woman in a Starbucks recently. She was trying to find an Internet Cafe. I looked around with everyone tapping out emails on their phones and laptops and said, "This IS an internet cafe" to which she, of course, asked where she could find one with computers.
In an urban area of some 5 million people, after searching google (et al) for some 10 minutes, I finally found three actual internet cafe's. In Europe, I've seen them at every street corner in some places.
The numbers around the world might be significantly different if it was a per-computer statistic versus a per-user statistic.
I think the closest you'll get is a parliamentary system--but then the highest level people are actually even more removed from the individual voter.... wait, no, we have electors here too, nevermind.
We don't really have a "single-vote" system in the sense you appear to be describing. The electors do have a single vote but they also can do (in many states) whatever they want whether their state's population agrees or not.
Except the Nissan guy actually has the last name Nissan. His case obviously has some merit or he wouldn't have wasted thousands of dollars on legal fees and still managed to come out on top of the company that probably threw a few million down the drain.
As someone who has put his trust in Jesus (and note the wording there... Christianity means too many different things to too many different people), I'd have to agree with you. I will say though that having had mod points on numerous occasions, I recently used them to mod up an insightful comment opposed to creationism because it was simply that--insightful. It made me think and as one of the few creationists posting here, I appreciated it for that. I also appreciate the validity of your statement but would object to its being universally applicable.
On a slightly more serious note, this would seem to offer explanation to everyone in my neighborhood who has had to replace their bathroom and other plumbing fittings regularly due to decomposition of the plastic/rubber seals in any faucet/spigot.
Though more expensive, if there is a problem with hills/forested areas between the two neighbors, a series of range extenders might be useful. Electrical cabling or solar power might be easier given the lay of the land.
Between the free video on-demand service and Netflix coupled with Gordian Knot and a particularly helpful Supreme Court ruling, there is no need whatever for a $3-4 dollar rental service be it Itunes or Blockbuster.
On top of which, Blogger (owned by Google) uses the Youtube service and allows for completely private (to your website) video viewing without a "25 friend" limit
Though it went bankrupt recently , my local Porsche accessories store had screens just like the one in the video last year (not MS) that responded with videos to RFID codes in their products being placed near the sensor embedded into the lcd tabletop.
The software techs at my school regularly hire students caught with their hands in the candy jar--it is a part of a "rehabilitation" program as far as I can tell.
Windows Media Player provides a better experience than RealPlayer because like Media Player Classic and WinAmp (w/video) you can go to fullscreen without having to shell out. Even unbundled, Microsoft would offer WMP for free because it helps people stay within the Microsoft bubble.

but then we are left with 3. Rare law abiding citizens and 4. People who confuse 2 with 4.

English has a lot of words for snow too--corn, pebble, etc. At least it does for skiers et al.
