I feel that the government should do it's best to provide infrastructure and research to increase the overall strength of the economy and reap some 'profit' from this in the form of taxes from the stronger economy.
I also prefer anything that leans towards being a natural monopoly to be government run as well, despite that fact that it can be run profitably. I've got privately provided electricity now and I really miss having city-owned power.
If you want to give it another try there are plenty of well done tilesets for it now. I generally recommend getting the lazy newb pack which has all the enhancements you need.
They've actually got that already set up and ready to roll. It comes into play anytime you order any item not sold by Amazon and it takes everything into consideration. It may well be provided by a third party, and there are reportedly several companies that provide this in a very simple service. If I recall correctly this was setup when they took over Toys-r-us online operation.
I think the setting your friend is looking for is here: Accounts... Privacy Settings. Click on "edit your settings" in the "Apps and Websites" blurb below the left column - yes they've somewhat disguised this so it appears more like an ad or something otherwise ignorable even though it's some of the most important privacy settings in the system. I strongly recommend turning off all platform apps, games and websites. You'll know it's working if those websites with facebook sidebars show a blurb that you have disabled integration.
The lawyer's answer in the first case would probably be the severely over-used "Commerce Clause", which has been rather seriously abused and I feel probably shouldn't apply in this case. The answer in the second case is the general power of taxation, which I don't really have a problem with.
As others have noted, both GE and Sylvania have bulbs that do meet the efficiency requirements, so you won't have that much to worry about. Your approach is certainly very viable though, although exactly where and how to tax it might be tricky. The Republican's aren't likely to support any taxes anywhere right now, that's just their schtick now.
It also appears to be smaller, quieter, uses significantly less energy and is much less prone to dust-related degradation. My heatsink is probably a veritable dust skyscraper on a copper scaffolding right now and I'm guessing it's performance has degraded significantly (see their graph on page 14). And it still manages to improve the thermals of devices that have had over 10 years of constant engineering resources being thrown at them for maximum thermal performance. It's pretty impressive if you ask me.
One thing that caught my attention is that the size of this thing appears to be much less than the standard high-end air cooling tower heatsink with push-pull fans. This thing may give us a lot more high-end options that don't require massive cases, and may have a lot of impact in the mobile market as well. If the performance is good enough they might end up cheaper than a conventional solution just because it needs less raw materials and smaller amounts of packaging and shipping costs.
The closest possible analogy I can think of would be comparing it to a combination safe. If they find a combination safe can you be compelled to provide the combination or compelled to open the safe?
It's not a Medicare issue, it's a healthcare issue. If the govt isn't paying for it, we'll be paying for it out of our own pockets, or just suffering and dying. Medicare costs have actually risen slower than healthcare costs generally. Putting everyone on Medicare would reduce the overall costs of healthcare to the economy. It's a pretty basic comparison between buying wholesale and buying retail. Then again, plenty of healthcare providers couldn't even meet their base costs if they had to rely solely on Medicare.
It is certainly a genuinely big problem, but 'fixing' Medicare doesn't do squat to address the core issue.
I go with www.bluejeanscable.com which has prices in the same ballpark as monoprice and cablesforless, but mostly because of the epic smackdown they gave to Monster when Monster sent them a cease and desist: http://www.audioholics.com/news/industry-news/blue-jeans-strikes-back
I certainly don't think we should care. The primary reason you'd really want to parse that would be to import into a competing service. Hopefully that competing service has people competent enough to build the parser needed. I'm sure there are edge cases where the data might be useful in other contexts, but hopefully there's an app for that.
However, if all you can export from facebook is your wall and photos then I would not consider that adequate export functionality regardless of what format the data comes in. Most of my activity on facebook consists of comments on other people's wall and pictures (in fact I refuse to upload photos and link to my website instead). That also does not appear to include exporting your friends list, although I admit it might be harder to export that in a way that is meaningful outside of facebook.
Yes, but the market for congresscritters is better than the market for ISPs, the only barrier to entry in the congresscritter market is money (and maybe your eternal soul). Act now and you too can have a congresscritter of your very own!
Cutting "maintenance" costs is popular in both public and private organizations. I think the risks are generally equal for both. If there are proper transparency laws in place I think public management is slightly better, but only with proper transparency laws.
As a thought experiment I can only think of one organization that takes "maintenance" seriously and that is the military. It wouldn't surprise me if the military's many nuclear reactors are far better maintained than any others. I'm not sure how we could put the military in charge of nuclear power (and part of me cringes at the thought), but they'd probably do a good job of it, although it might not be cheap.
Stick with it a little longer. It picks up quite a bit all through season 2. You'll quit seeing monster of the week type episodes and start to see some great character development. Seasons 3 and 4 are truly exceptional. If I recall correctly B5 Season 3 was the first time a single person (JMS) had written every episode of show for the entire season and the coherence shows. He then wrote all of season 4 and all but a very few episodes of season 5 as well.
Once you've seen the later seasons you'll actually enjoy the earlier seasons more. Partially because you'll see that they actually knowingly set things up 2 and 3 seasons in advance. Seasons 1 and 2 are the foundations. They're not terribly exciting on their own, but you'll appreciate how well they were used to set things up and the show as a whole is an amazing creation.
It's a shame about season 5 though. As I understand it they were told late in season 4 that there would not be a 5th season so they basically crammed the plot of season 5 into the last 3 episodes of season 4. They actually pulled that off really well, but when season 5 was un-cancelled they had themselves in a bit of a pickle. Season 5 is rough because they had to re-invent it. The finale is very well done.
If you're still not enjoying it too much just ignore everything that's mostly about Sheridan. His story is the classic hero myth-arc. You've seen it before and Boxleitner isn't particularly noteworthy in pulling it off. It's the other characters whose story and acting is amazing.
I'm of the opinion that the biggest danger in Japan right now is the pools with spent fuel rods. I think this shows that we don't handle waste from either coal or nuclear plants very well.
The media talks about a meltdown as if it's the end of the world and we have nothing to handle it. In reality handling a meltdown is precisely what the containment system is designed to do. It's certainly possible that it could fail or have been damaged from the earthquake, but it's also possible that it will work just fine. Without knowing a whole lot more, I'm not going to judge which is the most probable.
At this point I definitely agree that the pools with the spent fuel rods are likely to be the biggest problem.
It may be the first fine but I've worked at a hospital where they were investigating a complaint and it is an extremely major hassle to deal with. I'm guessing it would compare nicely to an IRS tax audit.
Also, like the vast majority of cases in the legal system, most HIPAA violations are settled out-of-court and I'm sure money has been paid, but it's only considered a fine if a court has to order it.
It doesn't mention priests but James 5:16 is quite explicit about confessing to another person:
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
I'd say that confession in general is a slowly rising trend among Protestants. The Lutheran church has always believed in it, although it's not as emphasized as it is in Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican/Episcopal churches. It's beginning to be supported among more typically Evangelical churches as well, although the most common suggestion there is to confess to your spouse or a church Elder. Most Evangelical ministers aren't too comfortable with it yet, but many are making a point of getting training (often from Catholics or Lutherans) in that, and agree that it really does require that training to be effective.

I'd add the following:
+ People who do most of their hard-core gaming on PCs and just use console games for more casual family friendly fun (Boom Blox for the win!)
+ People who buy relatively few console games and know that the true gems on each system all shine equally bright (Okami, Brawl)
+ People who enjoy odd games that aren't going to be made on the other systems (The Endless Ocean series)

While this is definitely a huge pain, I have little sympathy for those complaining about the timing of this when the standard was finalized in 1992.

Well, they keep telling us that the govt is the problem and I guess they think they have a mandate to make sure that's the case.
They also have to keep making govt bigger so they can campaign on making it smaller.
Coal plants have accidents too:
