Because this is a discussion about AT&T and South Africa. The poster used this as an example of "capitalism gone awry" which it is not. It would be closer to fascism than capitalism. A central authority made a decision for the entire country, leaving one player in place to implement a system. Nowhere does this remotely look like capitalism.
Agreed. And when you factor in that the average car loses half of its resale value in 3 to 5 years (if well maintained), you can easily get a newer car for cheap. Less insurance cost. Less worries. Less money.
My strategy is to but cars in the 6-8 year old range that are maintained. Continue to do routine maintenance, but as soon as the car has big problems, it gets scrapped or sold cheap. When my wife and I shared a car, I budgeted $220, which covered gas, maintenance and buying another car. With two I think I am up to $375 (have to look at my budget tonight).
Thanks. We can now safely end this discussion. This being Slashdot though, all the cryptography "experts" will tell us how things should have been implemented.
My bad. I lost control. See, I'm not very good at FPS, and got tired of being spawn killed and trash talked by some 12 year old punk. But I am a bit better IRL.
"Bright" does not correspond to best. There are some students who work hard, but are not going to be tops academically.We need a system that takes the kids who do not want to learn and keep them from interrupting the education of those who do, regardless of their ability.
The bigger issue is the cloak of secrecy around the data and the algorithms used to generate the outputs. I do not understand why all data wouldn't be publicly available. Is there one place to go to see the data used to make the dire predictions I hear all over the place? I generally accept global warming as a fact, but when I see the amount of contortions one person had to go through to figure out there was a problem in the first place, I start to get suspicious.
Although I cannot predict day to day fluctuations, I can say with a high degree of certainty that in 1000 years, Linux usage among the population will be around 62% with a 73 percentage point uncertainty. My models are never wrong.

Ah, but you didn't pay for the results. Results costs extra. Good results cost even more
But dumb looks are still free.
"Under Pressure" ?
"I Want To Break Free " ?
"Innuendo"?
"One Vision"?
"Hammer To Fall "
Al Gore INVENTED particles.
Do you have any idea what "industrial esponage" is?

But hey, keep on rocking in the free world, I'm not a parent and it's not my job to tell anyone else how to be one.
:P
Too late.
I'm sensing a karma burn here, but what good is having it if you don't use it
Ah, yes, by going with th 95% majority you will lose your precious karma.
A national database of naked children, duh!
As soon as you move out of your parents' basement.
Tom Wood sounds more like a porn star's screen name.

Gravity will make you it's bitch!
But grammar won't make you its bitch, will it?
Nine people died in the United States in one coal mining accident. How many have died from fission?
I TOLD you that the internet is just a series of tubes.

No. Julio was already in his tenth year in the big leagues at this point.
In before mention of ABC Gum.
Actually, this would have been Aleph Beth Gimmel Gum.
And now someone please correct my spelling of the Hebrew alphabet.
I got my first post stolen... by someone replying to the wrong story. Damn my luck!
I tried the same thing when my teacher found me sticking some on the bottom of my desk. She didn't believe me.

If someone can read this more deeply and see the analogy, then please enlighten me!
You see, it's like a car with a banana in its radiator...
