The CDC also shows a relationship between egg allergies and possibly fatal side effects from the vaccination. They simply state that if you have an egg allergy, do NOT take the vaccine. That's approx 2.5% of the population under 5 years old. That's ok, the population under 5yo is only 21,000,000 (again, 2008 US Census est), which would bring the possible death toll to 525,000.
I hope you're not the person in charge of my purchasing. I can buy a Dell Studio 8000 with an i7 processor, Windows 7 Ultimate free upgrade and Office 2007 for $900. WITH 3GB of memory, 500GB hard drive, and everything else except a monitor.
Kind of a leap to jump from point 4 to point 5. Metron's email policies may give up any reasonable privacy if Foreman used a Metron email account.
You missed a big point in 4 - Foreman believed something nefarious was going on, because among the emails shown to him by the Metron SVP were emails from and to Hanni from parties other than Foreman/Metron, as in:
"How did Metron come to be in possession of email correspondence between Hanni and other people?" Foreman, we get - he could have been using his work account, all that was above board, but the first question is what leads to accusations of hacking.
They don't realize that staying in Afghanistan and Iraq keeps the war in Afghanistan and Iraq
Leaving aside Iraq, the war in Afghanistan has precisely nothing to do with "fighting them there, so we don't have to fight them here", and everything to do with the people of a country taking up arms against a foreign invader who attacked their country because the country refused to give up someone who the US demanded, without seeing evidence, which the US refused to allow.
Anything beyond that is a Republican talking point. There's a reason many of these insurgents live a day job of herding sheep or cattle, and so on. It's because they ARE sheep herders, or such. They took arms when they had foreign military on their land, in their homes, and a foreign government that thinks nothing of congratulating itself for bombing a gathering of such people and telling the world it is stopping 'terror', when the reality is that if they packed up and went home, so too would the sheep herders.
Of course, I am not so naive to believe that some have not taken advantage of this situation to further their own nefarious ends.
But neither am I naive enough to believe that the US invasion of Afghanistan was as much a liberation as it was throwing gasoline on a fire.
Good. If injecting our values and culture onto the Middle East is what's required to get them to behave by the rules of the civilized world then I'm all for it.
LMAO. Just LMAO. "Civilized world" as defined by who? People who think nothing of executing people after refusing appeals based on new evidence exonerating them? Or executing mentally defective people, and juveniles?
Or perhaps a civilized world where a country that has the largest percentage of its populace in the world incarcerated, and 1/4 to 1/3 of those incarcerated for crimes 65% of the population don't even believe should be a crime?
Or a civilized world where Supreme Court justices appointed by the administration of a political party rule that in the elections to determine the leader of that nation, that to recount votes to ensure accuracy would be to "undermine" the system?
Or a civilized world where following lobbying by unrelated interest groups, the President signs into law legislation to keep a person alive, despite their wishes, and that of the guardian they made an informed and aware decision to put in place to honor their wishes?
Or a civilized world where it is considered de jure for a medical insurance company to collect up to and over a thousand dollars a month for "health insurance", and then deny coverage for abdominal cancer in a patients 40s, on the grounds that they had failed to disclose they had their tonsils removed at age 9?
The only reason that we are currently losing in Afghanistan is because we play by the rules and our enemies do not.
LOL. The law as it is written in the Geneva Convention? Because the US is happy to scream that display of photos of US POWs by Iraqi and Afghani insurgents is "a violation of the Geneva Convention". Wait, I'm confused. Are we saying these insurgent groups are bound by the Geneva Convention because their country is a signatory to it? And then we say that we're not bound to it because they're not "fighting under a flag and are therefore unlawful combatants"?
The typical phrasing for such a situation is "having your cake and eating it too". Whine when the "other side" violates a Convention. Whine that you're not required to adhere to that Convention because the other side isn't bound by it. Whine when you are censured by the UNHCR for violating the Convention, because one of its core precepts is "the adherence to the Convention, regardless of whether or not the opponent is a signatory".
Please. We piss and moan when they show pictures of US POWs and say that this is a violation. We show their POWs in US military prisons, Guantanamo, etc, and say that this isn't a violation because they're not a party to the Convention. We conveniently forget that if they're a party to the Convention, and bound by it, they're not unlawful combatants. And so on and so forth.
Here's another example, tied to Afghanistan: when the US decided bin Laden was there, they went to the government and said "give him to us". The Afghanis, a sovereign nation, asked what you'd think to be a reasonable question: "We'd like to see the evidence by which you wish him extradited." The US: "No. You can't see him. Give him to us, or that carrier battle group headed towards you will get a little less friendly." Can you imagine that happening TO the US? Chinese government demanding extradition of someone from the US based on evidence they would not allow the US to see? Do you think the US would accept, or refuse? What do you think the response of the American government, and citizens, if the Chinese decided they were going to stage a forceful incursion as a result. Do you think they might take up arms, like the Afghanis have? Do you think they might be entitled to?
You can do all that on an iPhone too - you just jailbreak it (and even some podcasting apps are in the app store).
Unless you have one of the new 3GS's. Or every time Apple releases an update and re-jailbreaks it.
Nokia has all sorts of toys to play with. There's Python for Symbian, the N97 has more than the iPhone in a similar form footprint (everything that the iPhone has except multitouch and fully integrated kinetic scrolling which will come in the next two weeks with an OS upgrade, FM transmitter, 5MP camera, secondary camera. Turn by turn navigation out of the box. Your choice of on screen keyboard, full sliding QWERTY hardware keyboard, and handwriting recognition with stylus a la Palm), better battery, 32GB internal storage plus support for microSD up to 32GB, 33% higher resolution display, full integrated SIP/VoIP support - the N900 and its successors will have all of this and more on a Linux backend.
I think the point was "It's a TV show about something besides the daily life of being a writer for a TV show: odds are it's going to get nearly everything wrong, it's nothing specific to science." Look at CSI: anything. The science AND the justice system in that show only vaguely resemble real forensic science or our real justice system. Or how our cops actually look or act for that matter.
Going through EMT training recently proved the perfect example of that for me with NBC's horrific offering, "Trauma". From gratuituous over-use of helicopter airlift, even in downtown San Francisco, to breaches of protocol so gross half of the cast would have been fired in the first episode, if not subject to criminal prosecution (paramedic jumps out of helicopter, walks up to agitated patient, and gives him a shot of midazolam for rapid sedation with not so much as a cursory inspection, another medic 'retriaging' a cute patient with a broken arm so she can be airlifted ahead of real patients..), sex in the back of the ambulance (ew, just ew, can you say Petri dish?), and of course my all time pet peeve with medical shows:
You don't shock an asystole rhythm! All those flat-line ECGs you see, paddles, CLEAR, shock, "he's back!" - it doesn't happen!
Complain that it was paid for with your tax dollars and demand a free copy.
To which the typical response will be "only partially, that's why we have these fees, to recoup the cost of the investment. Ergo, as your tax dollars didn't pay for the entirety of the cost of publication, you're not entitled to it gratis".
This. Wow. Seriously, if you're depending, life or death, or anything critical really, on the reliability of WP it's only matter of time before you become suddenly, rudely, and possibly tragically disabused of your misplaced faith.
I'd love to know what that 'easy' way is. Have they gone through all of en.wp's 3,060,827 articles (as of today) and flagged those appropriate? Or just the main ones? Have they got vore? Yiffing? Frottage? Yaoi? Teabagging? Dirty Sanchez? Have they got the Virgin Killers album? All of these, and thousands more are probably candidates for 'parental control' - I'd love to know how they think they've got them all, as opposed to just the most common.
Insightful?!? Hint to Parent, Mods: the iPhone is NOT the only phone capable of reading Wikipedia, being a GPS nav device, MP3 player, and phone. It is not the only phone, it was not the first phone, and it's not even the most capable phone.
We get it. It's a nice phone. It's a very nice phone. But it is the iPhone. Not the jesusPhone.
That/would/ be the Apple way, just like OS X on laptop. "Latch on opportunistically to any Wifi network in range, regardless of any authorization to be using it or not". Sounds like a plan - instead of you and AT&T figuring out a solution to the "problem", the rest of us can just subsidize it for you. Yay us!
He GOT $25. I wish I could correct my post, his bitch is that if he'd gotten $25 in cash, he'd have put it in an account that would have given him a 5% cash-back rebate on it. So his bitch is that he got $25, but not in a form that would have allowed him to "make" it $26.25 via a reward scheme at his bank.
With the OEM copy that came with the computer they quit using when they bought the mac. They may be not quite 'legal' due to OEM licensing restrictions, but they are genuine.
And then they'll get on the Internet, go to any forum where "Hackintoshes" are being discussed, and scream bloody murder about how people are violating the OS X EULA OEM license...
Jesus Christ. You weren't "entitled" to the $25 off. It might have affected your choice, but the company was attempting to entice you. So your real bitch is that "OMG, instead of getting $25 in my pocket that I didn't have before, I only effectively get $23.75".
What about everyone else who has an apple in their logo? Is Apple Co. going to go after them too?
If you RTFS, they're also suing an Australian music festival, and a Cable TV provider (which should be fun, Foxtel's parent company is NewsCorp, so not entirely short of cash for their own legal defense).
Must have something to do with how most people are friggin' poor now and can't afford to drop $700 on a new desktop, LCD, and then $200 or so on licensing a new operating system.
LMAO. Because "most people" buy new systems with no OEM version of Windows on it. Right...
Not when we're still getting over sticker shock from having to spend $800 freaking dollars on an 'HDTV' because of the forced and sudden obsolesence of every TV made before it.
LMAO once more. Because of course, most people weren't aware that buying a $50ish 'DTV converter box' and instead thought the only thing they could possibly use to watch TV now was a 120Hz, 1080P 46"+ LCD... right.
I love the contortions you people make to bring on the hating.
I would suspect there are at least 100,000 more people just like me paying the same rates and being capped the same way. @$100/mo
Okay, two things: 1) either you're a dick for not choosing the best option - I pay $109/month for Comcast Business Internet at my home, and I get 20mbps down, 5mbps up. I get 8 static IP addresses, with customized reverse-resolving DNS. I get no port blocking. Outbound SMTP? No problem. Hosting a website? No problem. Bittorrent? No problem. AND no cap. In between work and personal use I am averaging around 1TB a month down, 300GB up.
Or, 2) you're being obtuse. Because that $100 a month you say you're paying doesn't correlate to any Internet plan that Comcast offers for personal users, and you're getting snarky about it, not factoring in the fact that that amount also covers either your TV, or Voice, or possibly both, depending on your plan. Given that Comcast charges $25 a month for 15mbps down, I'd say one of these two are highly likely to be the case.
students are graduating with something like 22k in debt average
Oh, to be an outlier. My wife is working her way through to a DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). We calculate that after she has gone through university, student loan debt will be $200,000.
And you want to compare this to Microsoft? The company that hands you Windows Media Player like it was a security patch, and hogties your system with so much DRM that you need a cabal of starving Russian crackers just to restore your fair use rights?
Yes, I do. Because Apple installs Quicktime when you install iTunes. iTunes when you install Quicktime. Safari when it thought it could get away with it when you installed iTunes.
And when you tell Quicktime to not be the default audio / video player, good luck. It'll still be there. As will iPodService.exe as a kernel-level service, even when you've never used an iPod.
Ignorance of what these services represent is easily remedied by disabling them via Services.
I'll wager you that roughly the same percentage of Windows users have ever gone into Services with the intention of disabling unneeded services as OS X users do the same via/etc/rc.d. i.e. NOT F*CKING MANY.
Only a few percent at top would probably be aware of the existence thereof.
Security by obscurity doesn't work, and neither does, nor should "functionality by obscurity". "Oh, that's easily remedied, all you needed to do was disable it in Control Panel & Administrative Tools & Services, didn't you know?" is not what anyone would call acceptable.
Wow, that is rediculous. Why, it's almost as much as a single MSDN subscription or an Oracle license (assuming I actually read that mess properly).
Leaving aside the odd choice of comparisons, "No. It ain't." A single MSDN subscription is $1,199 for the first YEAR, $799 for every YEAR after that. Running a site on StackExchange can be a thousand dollars a MONTH.
Slashdot Mirror
If that's the extent of the logic, then I'll buy a "unopened Dell" on Craigslist for $200... your move.
