Swype is very overrated. Works fine for 90% of what you write (if you're using a well supported language), and makes the remaining 10% a pain to use.
Never used Swype but... please, look up XXX in a dictionary. If it works 9 XXX out of 10 thats the opposite of overrated. OK? Quite XXX now a days anything that works half of the time is a fucking XXX.
This is what happens if around 10% of your words fail. 100% of your paragraphs fail.
I'm just saying the jump in price was not the result of insurance being mandatory, since that was always the case. It had to do with the changes in the law. I think (but have no data to back that up) that the price jump had to do with a new minimal standard and that insurance companies took this occasion to rise fees since prices of health care had been rising for a while.
I remember when I used to live in Holland and Mandatory Health Insurance came into effect: almost instantly my Health Insurance Premium went up by 30% (with no extra coverage being provided): checking with price-comparisson sites showed that the increase was all across the industry.
Can I ask you when this was? The "ziekenfondsenbesluit", which provided insurance to the lower incomes dates from 1941. Higher incomes had to buy their own insurance. I'm 30, and have worked since I was 16, and I've always known mandatory insurance.
Perhaps you are confusing the new system that dates from 2006. That system defines a lower standard for insurance, and if you want, you can insure additional risks. I, for example, have sightly higher coverage (mustly dental plans), and pay about 120 euros per month.
We have a no-claim bonus. Using approx 300 euros in medication a month, I feel pretty lucky not being born in the US. In fact, I could not afford living there at all.
You're right. In fact, the reason KDE didn't choose Compiz for compositing is that the new KWin degrades gracefully to non-3D effects if necessary, instead of completely giving up.
Would it be possible to encrypt all the mediafiles and keep the keys in a separate database? That way one could just delete the keys to make the data impossible to recover without actually going through all the tapes. Of course, you'd keep a backup of the keys, but that would be much easier to keep track of.
A sample size of 1,600 should be more than enough*. What may be a bigger concern is how the sample was constructed. I'm not sure on what grounds you think the analysis is done poorly. You write about things they may have done wrong, but is there any evidence either way?
* What I did was calculate the confidence interval with sample size 1,600, an observed frequency of 54% and a confidence level of 99%. The population failure is expected to be within 51 and 57%. My statistics-fu is rusty though.
I finished Fallout 1 without a single kill. Turns out the developers had thought someone wanted to do that. There were experience rewards for sneaking or finding peaceful solutions in almost every quest. It is with that mindset that I started playing Fallout 3. I was disappointed...

KDE 4.0 was released in january 2008, 3.5.10 was released in august of that year. I don't know for how long Gnome intends to maintain two branches.

There's a plasmoid for that. Actually, there are several. IHateTheCashew for example.
Looks like googol grew by quite a few orders of magnitude.
Binary orders of magnitude?

So that's why you shouldn't end a sentence in a proposition.
Because they run our economy.
No, but it can be irrelevant.

This sentence is the best!

The failure rates were published on joystiq a couple of days ago: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/17/game-informer-xbox-360-at-54-2-percent-failure-rate/.
xbox: 54.2%
ps3 10.3%

Too bad Greenpeace didn't consider those when they named Nintendo such a non-green company.
The bid for which brand car stereo your car manufacturer integrated was done at design-time. It (probably) wasn't an illegal practice.

That problem has recently been solved. With the recent addition of sms-sharing, you could use any iPhone remotely.
You are confusing homeopathy with fytotherapy.
The site has had several different URL's over the years, so I'm not surprised there are some dead links out there.
