Google and Facebook are advertising networks first and foremost.
While that's almost true for Facebook, Google's primary product is not advertising. Their primary revenue stream definitely is, but their product is a search engine and all the other services that get people to use Google.
Until you want to find some configuration file from some program. Where's that going to be?
Maybe where you installed the program? If it's an older program not updated for Vista and running as admin.
Maybe in the virtual directory of where you installed the program? For older programs without a manifest ran as a normal user.
Perhaps in the user appdata? Local? LocalLow? Roaming?
Maybe in the CommonData? ProgramData?
We have a solution to the traveling salesman problem, it involves checking all the possibilities. Given the city isn't that large, and there are likely roads that can be removed because a bus can't go down them, how long do you think a solution would take? Compared to the rate of a bus, it's likely trivial.
While a sign there are probably other issues, those aren't a big problem in themselves. the JS files will be cached by CDNs, so will probably be some of the fasted parts of the site to load
The same ways that people signed up for anything before the Internet? Phone up a number and someone will sign them up or visit an office and fill out an application at medical centers.
Democrats may have supported the wars at the time, but there's little doubt that we would have avoided them had a Democrat been president. Apart from that, there certainly wouldn't have been the tax cuts.
However, when Obama was a senator, the administration had turned a budget surplus into a budget deficit. That was the result of reckless spending on tax cuts and wars.
That contrasts with the current administration which was given a large deficit to start with (made worse by declining tax revenues due to the recession) that has cut government spending.
I used it around 2009 and it was great for walking around with an iPod touch. It worked best around downtown and the train stations, but even out a bit more I got good signal. Wasn't the fastest out there, but it was enough for basic browsing and google maps
I saw one proposal that would take out the tax penalty for people who don't get insurance and give a tax cut to those who do. Basically the same thing as now, but a tax cut for everyone that pays enough taxes.
For example, this image of a guy jumping into a pool to go along with the article "The Next Big Fiber Showdown: Austin", but we don't get the extra sentence from the summary.

At first glance I saw the big top thing with all the useless links and "topics" and thought "Wow look at that waste of space". Then I looked at the current slashdot and realized all that stuff is essentially there and takes up the same amount of vertical space. Maybe it's just the relative waste of vertical real estate while they limited the horizontal size, but it seems much more obtrusive.
Not only are there giant white bars down the sides, but all the useless stuff no one reads (and the poll) are always on the side.
It makes the comment section - which is a large part of the slashdot experience - seem like something tacked onto the end of a news article where people post one line responses.
Air traffic control, we could leave that to the airlines, right? Or maybe you'd like 50 different collections of rules
Yes, we probably could. There are international standards for the rules (ICAO) that the US essentially follows now, so there's no reason we'd change from that. There are already variations of the rules per state or airport.
Canada has a privately owned company running the air traffic control (called NAVCANADA) , so it could definitely be done.

I don't think you fully read the sentence you quoted...

People with only 140 characters to post their message and link?
This would be the perfect example where articles could by moderated as "Troll"
The Texas legislature adjourned in June, and it will not reconvene until 2015.
So it looks more like NO government rather than corrupted.
spoken by a person who probably doesn't travel much...
...in economy - I'm sure he travels plenty in business/first class where there is padding to spare.

But a typical taxi doesn't have multi-stop routes for pickup and drop off. Usually a taxi with multiple people will pick them up at the same point.

Despite being different branches, the Republican legislature and Republican executive members are in fact the same party.
Democrats may have supported the wars at the time, but there's little doubt that we would have avoided them had a Democrat been president. Apart from that, there certainly wouldn't have been the tax cuts.
But we already have tools that do that - being able to put that in the living room is the step forward.

Are you really comparing someone being forced into slavery with a company sending a tweet using a person's twitter handle?

In related news, it turns out Adobe will give you some sort of software if you give them a credit card number. What a crazy business model!
To be fair, it's only the few hours yesterday that those sites are going to be getting that much traffic.
I saw one proposal that would take out the tax penalty for people who don't get insurance and give a tax cut to those who do. Basically the same thing as now, but a tax cut for everyone that pays enough taxes.
That's much more confusing and hard to advertise for.
