Washington used millitary force to make people pay a wiskey tax, Adams enacted laws that disallowed speaking out against the government, Jefferson expanded the power of central government even further while he was in the whitehouse through the use of a standing navy.
I could go on, but the fact is that every single founding father who played a central role in the formation of the US government enacted policies that were anti-libertarian. Heck... even the government as it operated under the articles of confederation was not a libertarian world.... states had full control of what they wished to enact which meant if they wanted to behave in ways that were anti-libertarian... they could... and they did.
actually.... Yes.... There is a reason Google uses Java for their API system. Sun put a lot of time and effort to make JavaEE extremely robust, scalable, and reliable.
you assume the Obama DOJ is looking to continue the program, rather than simply support the Defense of AT&T.
Trying to stop a legal precedence from being made where private companies should be afraid to help their government, even when their government is with in the scope of the constitution is not the same thing as continuing an illegal spying program on the American citizens.
Go watch "Sick Around the World". It is a PBS frontline investigation of healthcare systems around the world. Canada, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, and Taiwan are covered....
I think you will find Germany and Switzerland to be a very good system as it is fully private from insurers to hospitals. the only government intervention is paying for coverage for those who can not afford it... but those people are very low because the coverage is inexpensive.
seriosuly...no Universal plan that has a chance of passing (even medicare for all) will get the government involved in medical decisions.
Glad to see that you trust a profit motivated corporation to make medical decisions for most people than the individual, his/her doctor, of their family.
BTW... Evidence based medicine is something the professional community has been pushing on their members for the last 10 years. Government codification of best practices are simply that... experts in the profession communicating what is best practice for professionals. Best practice publications is what makes them professionals.
The queen has no role in the security status of her government. so unless Obama is looking to cash in on some tabloid photos taken from the secret camera in the ipod... I think no one will worry.
If windows can use it, then the aps being able to address the memory is pointless since windows can allocate 3.5 gigs to one app and 3.5 gigs to another app.
You might think that is funny, but Government projects have the time and money to do actual testing. The DoD standard is Logic Coverage (the one I prefer).
Most private sector projects have to rush to market with their product so they only testing that is done is unit testing IF the developer is able and willing to do it. Integration testing is almost unheard of in most private sector projects.
My buddy works for a company where the core of the system was written by a guy who use to be their network admin and had no Engineering education. The core of the code is a spigetified lump of garbage that no one else is allowed to touch unless they are fixing a customer problem. There is no testing before pushing an update out to their clients... His boss asks him "how do we keep this from happening again" and he always says the same thing "hire 5 more guys, let me and one other dev fix the core, fire the lead, and institute these policies for testing, etc."
I forgot that the/. parser will remove the open and close html tag symbols.
I also did not include information about error which is involved in ones analysis of the appropriateness of a sample size. If you have a high confidence but a large error (greater than 5%), then you have to start wondering if the sample should have been larger.
I wish people would understand sample size before claiming it as a weak point.
A sample is by definition a small slice of a population.
Sample size is not a weak or strong aspect of the analysis based on what its ratio is to the entire population, it is weak or strong based on the confidence level you end up with.
Example: If you have a sample size of 4300 people and your resultant confidence level is 99%, then even if you have a total population of 6 billion people, your sample size is perfectly fine. If, however, your confidence level is 95%, the statistical results should be questioned as to their accuracy wrt the entire population.
I don't know what the confidence level of Adobe's survey was, but the summary should not be throwing its results into question based on the sample size to total population ratio, it makes the person sound stupid.

Iraqi courts, Iraqi trial laws, Iraqi execution.
The US government did not participate except in security.
Object? Bah... I can write perfectly fine object oriented code in COBOL that will run circles around your.... your... coffee language any day.
Damn punk kids.

spice is only used to get the pilots high enough to see the future and make the navigational changes necessary to travel.
The drives themselves to not use the stuff.
damn the guild and their monopoly on interstellar travel.
you and Kate Mullgrue transform into a lizard like species and have mad lizard sex then produce offspring on a planet in the delta quadrant?
uhhh.....
Apple created Darwin from FreeBSD and Darwin itself is licensed as BSD... what is your point about again?

because it does not restrict what you do with your copy, just how many copies can be played on Steam.
then you didn't type that expression.
My Ubuntu install works just fine.

Nothing gets done so he is done.

everything is a pollutant when it is present in concentrations such that the current local environment can not deal with them.
When the hell did companies start hiring someone with out 5+ years [insert language/tech]?
Infinity is not a number.
If you had any real understanding of mathematics then you would have known that.
There should be a less than sign before the 95%.

What financial interests bought Obama?
He was supported by small donations.
If anything, the payback will come because of the interests groups that put boots on the ground for him.
While I hold out a lot of hope for the change that Obama can bring, some of his appointments (like our pro-globilization trade secretary)worry me.
Newsflash... Facebook was founded by a collage kid who became a billionaire by the time her turned 24.
