Well, while 13% seems low, he paid more in real dollar taxes last year than you ever will in your life. Yep, get it straight, he paid for more roads, bridges, police, hospitals, than your envious ass ever will. He is rich, but he pays his taxes and he is not under any investigation for not paying them so he is within the law up to this point, and your argument affects Biden and Obama, and Hillary too. And last I checked Nancy Pelosi is also worth about 250 million. So get off the rich high horse because it isn't going to work.
Ryan's goal is to cut the deficit. So why is it a crime to want to spend less on everything? Dudes, we're out of money. He knows it, he recognizes it, he's down on all spending. Pick any pet project, he's down on the spending for it.
As I understand it, the first WikiLeaks dumps redacted names, the later ones did not. That could (not necessarily did) cause life ending harm to those individuals listed in the documents. That is the line that was crossed. No longer journalism. No longer free speach. That, if it is true, is the definition of an enemy of the state and fair game for retribution at the highest level by the governments that wish to protect the individuals in harms way. Big game, big consequences.
An optional donation to NASA on the income tax form is a great idea, I would love to see it. I would hit the $10 checkbox every year. But it won't ever happen because Congress would then add checkboxes for Schools, Medical Research (pick the cause), Libraries, Post Office, Environment, Farmers, Clean Energy, etc...
It will get buried and never get funded when people see the other options. But it is a great idea on the surface.
Touch screens have always struck me as the worst possible addition to a car control interface. It seems like such common sense and yet year after year more car manufacturers introduce touch screens. They should have been banned long before texting on cell phones. Anything that takes your eyes off the road is a bad idea. There is nothing wrong with buttons, dials, or anything else you can feel with your fingers/hands. Heads-up displays in conjunction with a tactile control surface should have been the way forward, not tablets on the center console. Boo-tai jung-tzahng-duh!
There once was a time on Slashdot that a humorous comment was appreciated and moded up for being funny. I was going for the funny and hoping it would rise. I just wanted to make the scientists blow a little milk out of their noses. I see that is no longer the standard. Nice new universe model. Please let us know when the de facto will be revised. I look forward to reading it while sitting on the toilet.
Bable Fish translation: "You, the reader of this article, are not nearly as smart as you thought you were. Don't feel bad about not being able to grasp anything in this article other than the word "the". Go to bed and do not look up at the sky at night for a very long time."
The low risk of being caught and the relatively high-rewards on offer helped the criminal gangs to paint an attractive picture of a cyber criminal's life, said Mr Day.
Why exactly isn't there a fear of getting caught? Considering the way the RIAA and other orgs (FBI) is able to track internet users, why so anon? -devils advocate
Obviously, this is an avenue that criminals will pursue, especially with the way video games are emersing our youth with violence and crime, but aren't the smart ones going to figure this out and rise above?
I very nearly asked my parents buy me a TRS 80 instead of an Apple IIe back in the 80's when I was a kid because it looked more like the computer in War Games. I searched everywhere for the device with all the red and blue switches too. Don't get me started on the modem either, I didn't actually have one back then, but I definitely would have chosen the one that you could shove the phone ear piece into as opposed to the built in modem jack. That one was the best, right? War Games almost screwed me. I was 14. Thank heavens I didn't believe the hype, I believed the guys at Younkers in 1983 at the Mall.
Without really sourcing it, I would say that the music on FireFly was very simlar to Civil War documentaries I've seen on PBS - very fiddle heavy. I suppose I could source it but why? That would be a lot like saying alligator tastes like chicken and then having to prove it. It just does. And if I ever hear progressive acoustic folk I'll kill myself just for being in a room full of people that plays it.
Also, all music with British guys singing sounds like a trip to the Man Hole where they all hold hands until they go to the bathroom.
"This new build of Windows Vista (insert last minute name change here) offers users a higher level of performance (depending on hardware) and stability (depending on use) - improving what was established in Windows Vista RC1 (did I see this?).

Widely known fact: Europeans are more sensitive to environmental packaging concerns than Americans at this time. Just a marketing move, everyone relax...
I believe it was the pace of the show and the production value (lack of FX) that left me flat. There was never anything wrong with the characters, just something about the western theme and the civil war music. Too dusty for my taste.

That's really too bad. The show left me flat, but the movie rocked. Ofcourse it only rocked based on my knowledge of the bad TV show. Bit of a paradox here. Shame though.
Seriously, did anything go wrong? It almost always does. Near misses, falling foam, inspections... Hate to troll, but everytime I watch a launch now my heart races and I break out in a cold sweat whenever I see a thruster flare or a t.v. screen artifact near the shuttle. NASA tries to project confidence, but don't we/they really want a next gen orbiter without all the worries?
Well, as much as it hurts me to post this here: I used to be a graphic designer who used a Mac every day for 10 years. I'm now a software developer in an exclusive.ASP,.ADO,.NET, SQL Server environment... I'm happy to have this tool. I'm sorry to say this, but the MS camp is really putting out the hurt. The utility of their software is hard. We have a lot of data that needs service and this stuff ain't soft.
Of course, this may be just FUDOf course, this may be just FUD
Seriously, you think Google is listening or will listen in on your computer? They've spent how much time building their brand and now they're going to kill it all down by bugging you? I just don't get it. I'm sorry if I'm a "duh" guy, but come on. How many years have the Google CEO's spent building this public company up, only to let it fall on basic wire tapping? I guess I'm just awesomely naive. I thought the purpose of the management of a public company was to build value for the share holders, but all this time it was to devise a scheme to listen to your house party.
Try to hijack my microphone, Google, and I will sue you to kingdom come.
Should Google make the API available like Maps, this offers a new frontier for application development. The sound recognition could be applied to other areas if the Google database expands beyond Television.
