Having only "safer sex", sex with only one partner, and abstinence goes against our nature. Our entire biology is geared to reproducing and spreading our genes as widely as possible. You will never get 100% of people to have protected sex 100% of the time. You will never get 100% of people in monogamous relationships to not cheat. The best we can do is get the largest percentage of people we can to do things which reduce their chances of contracting HIV. Rather than live in the fantasy world where nobody makes bad decisions, why not live the real world? I don't understand why the concept is so difficult.
You can NEVER EVER trust users to do anything that might be the least bit inconvenient for them, no matter what the consequences are.
For all the employees you want, the new hires will do the same thing.
What might work is to make something painful happen, like losing all their work when they get up and walk away from their computer and their keyboard logs them out.
It is about 800 miles from New York City to Chicago. These will be orbiting at 670 miles above. If there are latency issues, it is not because of the distance.
With the $75 locally made window you will be able to repair it yourself when it breaks, instead of waiting 2-4 years for your new window to arrive from Taiwan. You can also customize the locally made window to suit your needs, rather than living with the issues until they (might) be fixed in the future.
"In fact, according to a statement released by Goldman Sachs, all told, the government received an annualized rate of return of 23 percent on its $10 billion investment in Goldman Sachs. Not too shabby at any time - especially now considering the current state of the economy."
"not every user has the time to spend customizing every aspect of the OS and each application."
You have just described one of the primary reasons I've not switched to Windows 7. I am an XP user with all the stupid eye candy turned off so it has a mostly Win2k UI.
I don't want to spend a week learning a new OS. At some point I'm sure that I will have to, but not yet.
In my experience, in the areas where I live and travel, Verizon's billing and customer service are just as horrible as the other carriers. The difference is that Verizon seems to invest quite a bit of money in their network. I currently use a MVNO that uses Verizon's network (most use Sprint's network).
TMPGEnc (and I'm sure others) have supported offloading video encoding operations to NVIDIA GPUs via CUDA for several years at least. I'm sure there are other applications that support CUDA.
How is this patent different from that?
Anything that is bad for Microsoft is a good thing for just about everyone else. I was very happy to see Goldman Sachs downgrade their rating of MS stock to "neutral". I will throw a party if they ever downgrade it to "sell".
I don't use them because the store gives me no incentive to use them. They don't seem to be any faster most of the time and the frustration factor when the damn machine gets confused is actually a disincentive to use them. I might feel differently if the store discounted the total by some small percent. It doesn't have to be much.

I feel the same way about Microsoft. Apple may be evil in many ways, but compared to Microsoft, they are a saint.
This is great news! Only 20 years until the patent expires and products can start being made using this technology.
USA Federal min wage works out to be $15,080/yr. I would not call that a "living wage". Not in the USA.
When food prices get high enough. The populace will put up with a lot of stuff, but not being hungry.
USA ISPs are not "common carriers" under the law, no matter how much people wish they are.
People who dislike government so much should move to Somalia, where there is no government.
In the United States the called person pays for the call to the mobile phone.

It has been around for years and years. I always liked the satire site godhatesfigs.com, but it does not seem to exist anymore.
Does not sound like the BSD or MIT license would be covered by this.
How MUCH do you get paid? I would not like it, but I would pay a "fee" to not have all the crap installed.

Where can I get a 23% interest in my investment?
He must have missed that Billion $ check they gave the govt last year. It fully (WITH INTEREST) pays back the govt loan.

I do not mind the government telling industry that they must secure their systems. Who else is going to do that? Customers?

I would love a 500GB/month cap on my Verizon EVDO service. They cap you at 5GB/month. An extra 5GB/month is about $200.

How can medical research move so fast and so slow at the SAME TIME?

Dude, Israel is not *that* evil. They just like poking the Palestinians with a stick by building settlements.
