It's not cheaper and it created exactly 1 (one) job. Gov't could have put in cable lines and had FIOS put in creating a lot more than one job, at a much higher speed, for a much lower cost. Yes, taxes would go up, but so would quality of life; and you wouldn't have to rely on just one guy and his truck if something went wrong. What this guy has done is a short-term solution to a long term problem.
Um.. the military is not the Generals, or any of the other "Leaders". The military is the soldiers. The staff may have been getting all the kickbacks the US and Europe could throw them, but the Military didn't see a dime of it. The Military is the soldiers, and soldiers are the people.
Col Lehner says the enemies options have become basically "flee or die". There's 2 problems with that. #1: the wall is probably part of a building; you can always go into another room. Or (as anyone who knows a US Marine will know) you can charge. Marines don't run from suppressing fire, they run toward it. That kind of tactic doesn't require training, it requires fanaticism. Tell me again what kind of people we're fighting?
Statute of Limitations is (if I remember right) seven years. The contract was from 2003, it's now 2010. It's hitting it right on the edge, but it should still be able to get in.
Since so many people have started switching to them, the electric company has raised rates 4 times. We've changed (almost) all our lights, and we make sure computers get turned off at night. Yet we're paying more now than we were when we had 5 computers running 24/7 and every bulb a 60W incandescent.
At some point, though, Apple will have to overcome the (incorrect) perception that "Steve Jobs is Apple", and that without him, Apple will most certainly fail
Well, last time he left Apple (was forced out) Apple did start to fail, and fail big. He came back, bringing the Lisa (which became the Mac), and presto! Apple was back.
Face it... without Jobs, apple is just an overpriced PC with proprietary software AND hardware.
Sorry, I call bullshit. If there were no players there would be no game. Gaming the system (any system: legal/political, social, or economic) only fucks over the ethical folk. Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you should.
Um... Virginia was peopled by Englishmen and their Irish slaves (sorry: "servants") long before the Mayflower was built. In fact: the Mayflower was on its way to Virginia, but ran out of food and beer so landed in Rhode Island. They didn't like it there, so moved up to the cape.
I suspect many of the "why bother"s have never actually cleaned gutters by hand.
Actually, I live in New England too (NH) and I clean my gutters by hand. A hose, with a good nozzle can spray pretty much all the crap out for a lot less than $100. And with a Federal house, that's 4 gutters on the house, 3 more on the el, and 3 on the little stick-y out bit with the door.
The Looj would be more work than I want to bother with, thanks.
Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down... Leon: What one? Holden: What? Leon: What desert? Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical. Leon: But, how come I'd be there? Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you... Leon: Tortoise? What's that? Holden: You know what a turtle is? Leon: Of course! Holden: Same thing. Leon: I've never seen a turtle. (pause) But I understand what you mean. Holden: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon. Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you? Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Leon: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT HELPING? Holden: I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?
Hillary is no centrist. She is a hard-left Democrat. She appeals to the base. Her campaign runs on FUD. McCain and Obama both have HUGE independent support.
I'm an Independent. I wanted Bill Richardson. I'll vote for McCain over Clinton. She scares me almost as much Bush. There's a reason I read "Hitlerly" whenever I see her name.
News isn't supposed to be opinion. Network news, as opposed to cable news, is far more professional, usually (note the usually) including fact checking and background information. Cable news has already degraded to the point where Joe Blow can be as good as Wolf Blitzer. Cable news needs the story now, corrections can be thrown in later, after the public has already made up it's collective mind. That is actually one of the biggest problems with/.; the links to blogs, which then link to other blogs, which finally link to an actual report. I have a perspective and some opinions too, that doesn't make me a newsman.

That is all.
To me, robots have to be at least semi-autonomous. These are really just really advanced remote controlled cars. Am I wrong?

No, they're Scottish, Welsh, English, or (when totaled) British.

But for sorting by date on a single string the preferred format is YYYY-MM-DD. I never understood why you would write the day first.

There's your history lesson.

Wrong. If the tree growing in your yard drops a branch in mine, destroying my pool, you will be the one to replace the pool.
Same thing. Your seeds blow in and contaminate my crops, I will make sure it is YOU that pays to clean it up.
We call it Voight-Kampff for short.
