Any chance there's public documentation on this? My cynical side is finding it hard to believe that people whose main source of profit is petroleum would even consider switching to a renewable source. I'd like to believe it, but it is tough.
Put a stationary bike in front of a decent TV and PC/game console. If PC, add a keyboard/mouse tray to the bike. Pedal hard while playing your favorite game(s). Kills 2 birds with one stone: you get your game time and your exercise. I dropped 20 pounds doing this.
I agree with Balance. There are times when you need face-to-face meetings in a room with a whiteboard or other doodling device to figure out the big picture. Once you have your assignment, it may be one that can be done better and/or more quickly in isolation.
In it, they report uninsured patients get charged 11x what would be allowed if the patient qualified for Medicare. It used to be health insurance companies would be able to get rates 20% to 30% over the Medicare rate. Now, because of hospital consolidation, the insurance companies are being forced to pay 5x the Medicare rate. The author wasn't able to find any actual financial reason for the markup. (Things like, $1.50 for an acetaminophen pill, when a bottle of 100 costs $1.50. Or a blood glucose test strip costing $18, when supermarkets sell them for $0.60.)
Here's the article.
That's what I was thinking. Folks will need to be damn sure of the security and stability of the orbit adjusting mechanism. Otherwise, someone could use the asteroid as a weapon. Who needs an airliner when you could have an N metric ton rock hit a target at M km/s? (Not sure what the typical weight or impact velocity would be...)
I don't have time to test multiple distros. I've been on Fedora since it was RedHat 4. Hearing they've messed up the installer this much makes me think I should switch.
If CMU invested capital in discovering/creating these innovations, they should get *some* return on their investment. Otherwise, they'll have to stop discovering/innovating because they can't afford it.
Just because Hastings watched the same episode, doesn't mean he watched it from the same source. If Comcast's Xfinity App is pulling from Hulu, then this would be a valid comparison. Basically, it comes down to one question: is bandwidth usage measured on the customer's side of the pipe, or on the side on which the data is entering the network?
People should have *some* skepticism for science. This does not mean people should have blind faith that all science is wrong. This article is a good example of science's built-in system of checks and balances. Unfortunately, it is also a good indication that more may be needed.
This just reminded me: I never saw any news coverage of SOPA/PIPA and the Blackout. NPR had quite a bit on it though. Did anyone see any mention of it by the for-profit news outlets?
- what's called 'property rights'. Tangible property, but you would be actually surprised with my stance on it - I am against government police being used for this as well, I am pretty much against government meddling in these affairs, it's a private matter. Do you understand my position? Theft is a private matter, not a matter for public protectionism.
Ok, then who would be responsible for dealing with the Walmart stealing from Target scenario? It would need to be a neutral third party, as we can't have Target police fighting Walmart police in an "it said-it said" scenario.
If someone stole from my house, who would I call?
You might respond "non-government funded (NGF) police", so I'll attempt to respond to that preemptively. I would imagine NGF police would be funded by a separate tax, so in addition to State and Federal taxes, I would pay a Police tax. Since Police probably aren't the only thing you'd want to be NGF, I could see a NGF Center for Disease Control tax, a NGF Fire tax, a NGF DPW tax... basically instead of paying two or three lump sums in taxes, I'd be paying taxes to several dozen organizations. I'd need to think about that. It makes tax time much harder, but there'd be less concern that the organization would get "financial advice" (e.g. Do this or see your budget get cut) from the government. That's not something I have a big concern about though.

Novell asked people to send screen shots of their uptimes. http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/103.html The winner then had an uptime of about 6 years.

If only I had mod points... laughed my butt off when I saw that in the theaters. (No, not literally!)

So, what would've happened if this was a policy at the University of Helsinki, in 1991?

Chew gum.
Does your application have a splash image when it is started? If so, does that image have large text indicating support is not free?
90%+ from a DB4 in the attic. I wonder how much my cable bill will shrink when I switch to just data and voice?
Oh, right. It won't shrink at all, will it.
The Windows installer offered to install a toolbar. I declined.
Ah, Bullwinkle, that trick never works.
Even if someone is trustworthy, they can still have a bad day and make a stupid mistake.

Wouldn't that make the other full-paying customers just say "I will only pay $X", cutting revenue significantly?
I'm getting tired of display devices having splash screens. I already know the name brand of my TV and monitor. Just start displaying the signal.

The editors have not posted any new stories since this Ask Slashdot entry. I suspect that is how they are "blacking out" /..
