All *I* ask is that the ads not be the visual equivalent of being in a box of cymbals bouncing down a flight of stairs. I don't block ads because they are ads- I block them because they are ANNOYING. Was it Ars or Wired that has those Intel ads recently where people walk across the content put put up an Intel logo? If you put ads on *top* of the content and gobble up *my* processor cycles to do it, then I have no sympathy for any fallout you suffer.
They're still looking for The One True Path and refusing the see the *real* elephant in the room; that there is no one path to education. After trying so many things, and see them work for some and fail for others, doesn't an intelligent person eventually conclude that there is no one size to fit all, no one ring to rule them all? Don't just admit what the results tell you, take a deep breath, and begin to formulate a way to teach different groups of children in different ways?
But, no, we have to have all the ideologues, with their liberal/conservative/flavorofthemonth manifestos^H^H^H^H^H manuals that *must* (MUST!!1!) be followed to the *L*E*T*T*E*R* and no dissension shall be tolerated krishna krishna rama rama! You want to solve the problem? Get Pfizer or someone to develop a pill that cures the mental illness of ideology- a political Zoloft of some sort. You'd be astonished how many problems of modern society would just evaporate.
Marriage is a civil contract. An inanimate object (or animals, for you people who fear it going in *that* direction) cannot sign legal contracts.
As for polygamy, sell them a "mini-group" insurance policy. Seriously, these companies can't figure out a way to profit from a paradigm shift in what we consider marriage? Weak.
More than 100 people, many of them dressed in black, are expected to gather around a coffin Thursday to say goodbye to an old demented uncle that constantly shat himself, never understood anything we told him and we all hoped would just friggin DIE already!
There. Fixed.
If the new national IT infrastructure includes Death Panels for software, I'm all for it.
Chloe O'Brian has been able to do this for years while hiding in an improvised safe house with a computer array composed of old Vic-20s and acoustic modems.
...I am an IT person who, with our crappy commercial software and half baked open source or in-house solutions, has a user base that no longer reads the endless, incomprehensible, tiny font hobbled, hex code laden error messages with which they are continuously pummeled. When my users complain, I treat them like dirt on open forums where they can see the general attitude of IT folks toward people who just want a tool to do their job, and suggest they go back to preschool or that the computer deliver electric shocks. I ignore the simple possibility that the users have simply become immune to the endless errors and bugs, and I instead whimper like a crack whore jonesing for another fix. My question is this: is it too late to salvage my life?
For starters, where possible, the error wont actually close for them unless we enter an admin password to make it go away, and if they reboot to get rid of it (Task Manager is disabled on all client PC's) the machine will not open the application that crashed for 15 minutes.
An IT guy tried something similar where I work many years ago. All the investigators ever found was the remains of one of his shoes in a drainage ditch several states away, and the word "Croatoan" carved in a nearby tree.
Ban quicktime events. Seriously, this is a basic human rights issue that could be handled in Geneva. Dare to imagine a world without without quicktime events, comrades!
Some of the SW guys at my work are becoming convinced the whole problem was in software to begin with. Maybe this is a bug fix posing as something else.

The conclusion is that while it seems unlikely that high-frequency fields in consumer devices directly cause cancer, they might promote it,
Like, how? They take out public service ads? "Hey, kids, cancer is your friend!"

Crowd: YES! Everyone is confused!
Me: (raises hand) I'm not.
Crowd: SSHHHH!
'Definite,' in which layout and presentation play a role in conveying meaning.
But... wait... I thought the CSS purists said we're supposed to separate layout and content and spew semantics all over the place?
Not to mention the object would be covered by homeowner insurance anyway. ;-) Unless you marry your car, and then it's the auto insurance.
Can I have a polygamous marriage with my car and the Progressive Insurance chick?

"Is that a backed up data buffer or are you just happy to see me?"
Can someone explain this to me?
You must be newly arrived on planet Earth. Welcome. :-)
When you leave, can you take me with you?
Time heals all wounds, and so do health potions.
I thought ego was the middle finger of the invisible hand.
I'll go way out on a limb and speculate that personality and egos are involved somewhere.
Super Redonkulous Fluffhance!

So, which came first?
The farm.
...making more photos more awesome.
Nice to see that 13 year olds can get work in this economy.
A simulation or model that does not factor Nicolas Cage into any world periling scenario is incomplete.

Too many people were swearing at the legislature for their brain dead performance, so this is how they fix it.
The letter was blank, though, because the writing was an independent phenomena and it went off on its own.
When will it get an app store?

Can you really open source the control system for specific devices?

I went to college and worked hard at my career so I wouldn't mind paying a monthly fee for a superior product. :-)
Admittedly, though, your approach might be more efficient.
