"The reason why these people ignored this bedrock of finance is because Enron's stock once did quite well."
If I remember correctly, employees were "encouraged" to show their loyalty by investing a lot of their 401k's in Enron.
Also:
"Enron limited employees' investment freedom from the start by matching their contributions only with company stock and by preventing employees from selling that stock until age 50."
In Florida, after Hurricane Wilma, all of Broward county lost power for 1-4 weeks...except for my town. The only difference is that our power lines are underground.
The cost of repairs to the rest of the power grid was estimated at close to $6 billion.
At least in hurricane prone areas, the extra investment is well worth it.
Since there are a finite number of generations between 'ape' and 'human', the process is necessarily stepped, not continuous.
Now that's just nitpicking. The change between two consecutive generations is subtle enough to be unnoticeable. That makes it a continuum for all practical purposes.
We understand the situation you're complaining about, but making statements that don't hold up to basic logic isn't going to make creationists any more reasonable about their standards of proof.
Nothing you say will make creationists any more reasonable about their standards of proof. Nothing whatsoever. It is a complete waste of time to try.
Blind faith doesn't require evidence and doesn't acknowledge evidence.
While I agree with you, I would say that the vendor lock in is a side affect that Apple is now enjoying. Much like the iPod explosion itself, I don't think that they could have possibly seen this coming.
They are more popular worldwide than American, British and Australian soap operas combined. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telenovela) I don't like them either, but the world seems to like them.
It's all about the babes. I personally watch them with the TV on "mute".
I want specialized devices, not a "jack of all trades, master of none" device
The problem with that approach is that you end up with something like Batman's utility belt: cell phone, mp3 player, PDA, camera, batarang, bat hook, etc.
I definitely don't agree about the FCC. I think it's an excuse and cop out by Stern. Instead of putting on an entertaining show he complains about the FCC. Look at Seinfeld (the TV show) and Brian Regan they prove that you can be very entertaining w/o being dirty.
That's a very poor argument. Stern has become popular because of the kind of show he does. If he started doing Seinfeld or Cosby humor he would lose his audience.
Well, they milked their built-in audience as far as it would go with "Enterprise". It sucked so much even the hard core fans abandoned the show.
Time to look elsewhere.

Bullshit! The "key size" in a one time pad is the size of the whole message. That gives you absolutely nothing to work with.
In Spanish, the Earth's moon is just called "la luna" (the moon). Jupiter's moons are "las lunas de Júpiter". So it's the same as in English.

Been watching too many Al Gore movies lately?

Whoosh!

Well, isn't that exactly what the parent said?

I think it was cost related. The top loader costs less to make, that's all.
He's the chairman and founder of SAP.
The Google Toolbar has a reliable form fill. The FireFox plugins basically suck at this.
Google's Form Fill is much better than any of the the available Firefox plug-ins. That's the feature I miss the most.
You can invent a pill to help people trust but theres no pill on earth which will make a person stupid.
Oh, there are plenty of "stupid pills" around. In fact you don't even need a pill. Beer will make you stupid enough!
On the other hand, .xxx clearly says what it's for.
Crappy movies starring Vin Diesel or Ice Cube?
