This is why I love Slashdot. If the above poster asked the question on digg, someone would call him a led fanboy and tell him to STFU. And on another note...yay leds!
I concur. However, Verizon's is 40.00 a month for unlimited and they are big jerks. But I tried the treo app and love it. It works very well. Pockettunes is excellent.
Remember that the doctors don't ever want any sort of centralization. They don't want any regulation either. Both of those things increase cost of doing business. Always.
The govt needed some sort of controls to be had in their system, at the expense of the doctors and patients. Remember, healthcare is a triangle, so any change to one side's cost will have an effect on the other two sides. Doctor/Hospital - Patient - Payer (insurance company along with the employer and/or government).
Of course, being a big bureaucracy they found a way to cock it up bigtime.
Perhaps this is a useful way for people to be more aware about unpatched machines and clicking every stupid link on the net...A beneficial side effect?
I like that Georgia website, but they don't source any of their myth/fact bullet points! I don't mind unsourced info except when they use numbers to demonstrate their points...
But if you get fired b/c you don't work during your commute, you won't be able to make the payments on your Rolling Wheels of Doom. So you kill a commuter or something...whatever.
I like digg only b/c it posts lots of differing articles on a fairly rapid basis. I burn through my rss feeds at work, and digg does a decent job of keeping up with high volume. Fark is similar, and the comments found there definitely have a lot of humor, intended or not. Slashdot to me is low volume and high quality of comments and article selection. I definitely think the moderation system works really well.
Don't you worry, there are companies doing exactly that. However, even rural / poor Middle / Southern Americans still get paid more than the developing worlders. It is not low enough to stem the tide.
What we are seeing is this new concept of true global economies made possible by the very tech that we invented to get ahead of other countries.
The paradigm shifted, and there is no way to return to the old model. Our innovations, inventions, and new ideas have not yet propelled us out of this Sargasso sea of low wages and low growth.
But for all that, more people are still living better than most of us were 50 years ago. Do you know any Okies starving to death like the old Dust Bowl style? Can you get (expensive) health care to live longer than your parents? I will not ever defend the amorality of business and the endless desire for profit over all else, but despite the greed, we are still doing better overall.
But if you have pop mail, you can just tell outlook to auto-archive to a.pst folder on your hdd... I don't understand the endless fascination with webmail. It's nice to have access from any web input, but the gmail lost emails and yahoo debacles make it really unattractive. At least with a verizon or comcast account, it is super easy to just save them on your own side.
Those farts know that Congress mandated this regulation with the Clean Air Act and gave us (the citizens) the right to sue groups like the EPA if we felt they were not enforcing regulation. EPA said that they did not want to step on the Administration's toes (as the EPA people are appointed) and so they fiddle as Rome gets warmer.
The original point of a corporation was to protect the people and officers that run the company from being held personally liable from actions of the corporation - so your business or India Tea Company could go bankrupt and they wouldn't seize your personal assets. I don't like corporate ethics as they exist today, but at least get a clue here as to why they were created in the first place. Nobody would go into business at all if you threaten the chair, dude.
Here is a cool little bit I stumbled on whilst researching Durendal. Durendal was the sword of the paladin Roland (under Charlemange). Famous sword; featured in the Song of Roland several times. Cortana (of Halo fame) is a Danish sword, which features an inscription likening it to Durendal and Joyeuse (a French sword). Random, yes, but seems quite deliberate on the part of Bungie.
What sucks is that the second Deus Ex is a pale imitation of the excellent original. I loved that there was always about 10 different ways to accomplish the objective, and you could NEVER get all of them, no matter how many nanoupgrades you had at one time. And the conversations w/ the characters were engrossing.
I think you hit the nail on the head with your final sentences. Anything is supposition unless backed up by testimony from a relevant expert or actual factual evidence. If these programs were already in place, most people would have a good understanding of what was up there. Have you read about the hobby group that tracks satellites in their spare time. They have even found the "stealth" or black sats that the US has put up there.
Why in God's name would Defense bother with the tremendous expense of lasers in space just to shoot other sats?? Don't you understand that the China test of an anti-sat missile into space was a simple feat accomplished decades ago?
Satellites have a very predictable trajectory, and so blowing them up from the ground is easy. Nuke ICBMs are totally different in every respect, and a laser blasting one up when it pops through the atmosphere would be a high tech miracle that's not been achieved yet. The ICBMs travel very fast and don't have predictable patterns for flight, so you need something to acquire and launch and detonate within a few minutes' time. Anti-sat from the ground is EASY.
No, VC firms are a lot more discerning than this. They require a working business model and actual working product before you get your funding. An Angel is more like what you described - give them the pitch, if they like you / your idea, they run w/ it and have far fewer questions. The VC firms are famous for pulling the rug out from underneath when you miss more than one or two quarterly goals.
No, it is easier now. Before I had to pickpocket your passport, copy the info, and then slip it back to you without you knowing it was compromised. Now I buy the sniffer, goto the airport bar, and I can copy 200 passports in one day's work.
I was able to do so by deleting the 2 files out of the registry and out of the system32 folders (I think). The steps were in the top few google results for "remove wga" It's been a while, so I'm not 100% sure that was the way to still go. I think it was WGAcheck.dll...
I would be careful with copies of the coursework - the school site is pretty strict as to its usage beyond "enrolled" students. While I agree that it would be excellent oppo research, but you might need to jump through some hoops to have it used in court to break him down.
I'll do you one better - what if the upper group just implemented the different proprietary browser, and never told the blue shirts on the floor? They wouldn't question the browser, as it is on a kiosk or workstation, and they would not realize that something was up unless someone brought in a wifi laptop to make the point...

nonono- we are allies with Oceania. We have always been allies with Oceania. Death to Eastasia!

But it's a cute, starving child all along out in the wasteland! Who wouldn't want to save it?! What a great story.
It sounds like we need a collection of groups that share federal rights...perhaps a confederacy of sorts....
And domes/spheroids are ugly too. See many Bucky domes around lately? There's not just a cost reason for that...
What was Maddox's priceless comment to the Segway stability solution? "BAM...THIRD WHEEL..."

My last razr came with candy inside! I haven't heard anything from my bill collectors in weeks, so that's a win-win for me! Candy & no calls!
