That's my preferred solution as well, but what I'd like to know is what happens if they decide that you have one? How do you turn over the sign in information for an account that doesn't exist? Given that they're asking to violate the privacy rights of not just the candidate but their family and friends as well, I'd be skeptical if they'd be willing to take a person's word as to not having one.
And was any of this expected to be visible in town? If you happen to live in a small town, I suppose you might see it, but I can't imagine seeing it in a city.
Yes, I'm being serious. Previous to the change I wasn't having any trouble with slashdot, now I am. This is easily the most demanding site I visit. Probably the only other site I can recall having a lot of trouble with is my broker, and that hasn't been a problem in quite a while.
I've noticed that./. is pretty much the only site I have problems with in terms of performance. It's gotten a bit better since I disabled most of my addons, but still, as speedy as the latest Firefox beta is, it's still pretty sluggish on here.
It's not unconstitutional, a judge said that in his view it was, but remember that judge was a Republican appointee. It's been pretty well established over the years that the Federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce, which means that they can force health insurance companies to accept everybody and implement whatever laws and regulations are necessary to make it work. If you look at the make up of SCOTUS, there's pretty much no way on Earth that they'll be overturning it. Just not going to happen.
The fix is simple, they can either change the medicare age requirements to allow everybody to be covered, or they can rewrite that portion of the bill to be specifically as a tax, and then grant a tax credit to off set the tax. It's exactly the same situation as what we have now, it's just that it looks better to the more pedantic amongst us.
I also think it's somewhat ironic that now that the Democrats push it it's suddenly unconstitutional, when it was originally a conservative idea.
Free speech isn't that broad. I can't threaten to kill somebody, or print false allegations about somebody and expect to get away with it. Nor can I advertise a produce that does something and have it be completely ineffectual without a lot of amazing fine print.
Phelps crossed the line of what free speech actually protects a long time ago, it's just that he happens to have some really good attorneys that allows the bigot to keep on gay bashing.
Anonymous isn't exactly known for having stellar morals, but in this case they are arguably more vigilante than bully.
There's a significant difference between the communists on the left and the fascists on the right. Body count. The fascists on the right have killed far more in the last decade than the communists on the left have since the inception of the US. Right now the toll since 2000 stands well into the tens of thousands in terms of innocent civilians that are dead because the right wanted to start a war.
Trying to make a comparison here is just not accurate. I'm sure it's really dangerous having those commie pinkos forcing everybody to get health insurance. I'm sure a lot of people are going to die because they had to get affordable and effective health care.
That in a sense is the difference. A lot of people in the US and abroad have died as a result of the politics being advocated by the right wing nutjobs.
I realize that this is/. and missing the point is a common hobby around here, but it's not a metric. It's a twist on the cliche that "it's worth its weight in gold." It's a way of pointing out the cost relative to something else, it's hardly a metric that they're proposing for use.
You do realize that you can tether right? Well, if you're in the US you probably can't because carriers won't let you do it without paying, but personally, I don't know why every device requires 3G when you can just tether to the cellphone.
And once the Republicans repeal the health care reform bill, they'll be replacing it with a new reform package, right? Just because the current idea sucks, does not mean that if it gets repealed we're guaranteed something better. At least with what we have we can fix it and adjust it as needed, whereas if we repeal it then we have to start over and every interest group and corporation is going to be eyeballing it to see what they can get slipped in.
No, the GGP poster isn't doing it right. That whole apology before the act isn't right. Either you say, "that's what she said" and nothing else or you're doing it wrong.
I'm going to call bullshit on that. I doubt very much that anybody thought that Sputnik would lead to so much of modern life, at the time it was mainly a matter of putting an object into space before they could put animals in space so that they could ultimately put a man on the moon. But it's turned out to be essential to much of modern life.
The thing is that most of the innovations coming out of space research aren't thought of as such, battery technology, without which we wouldn't have cell phones or portable computers was driven in large part by space research.
That's the thing, there will be at the very least new technologies required to make this work, and if we do ever send people to colonize Mars, we're going to need to be able to communicate with them, and as such being able to put things in that particular Lagrange point is going to be really helpful to that end.
I know this is/., but it was $20m to make the map, and most of the rest of the $180m or so was collecting the data. Not sure how reasonable that is, but that's how they broke it down. Given that you're taking about 50 states plus DC, that's roughly 30m per state on average. Again, I'm not sure what it should costs, but getting reliable data is hard and expensive, the previous method was determining if there was at least one connection in the zip code that met the definition of broadband, the entire zip code was considered provided for.
I'm not a troll, I've just heard of way too many people losing an entire account worth of games because Steam flagged the account for trying to add a game that the user had bought second hand. And preventing people from transferring games to other accounts where the VAC flagged them for cheating.
It depends why they're flagging it. In general they don't go so far as to completely yank the license, but they do take away a lot of your rights if they flag the account. And yes, VAC isn't perfect. Valve Apologise For VAC Goof
Most of the time when I've heard of them pulling all the licenses it's because somebody was buying games on the second hand market, and rather than provide a mechanism to verify that that purchase is legit, they make you add the key and yank the whole account.
Here you go: Valve Apologise For VAC Goof They don't generally completely pull the license for such infractions, but they do make it impossible to transfer those games to other accounts.
True, but it's the same problem, he's defining rather than proving. And without some evidence to back it up, or even reason to take that view, it's pretty meaningless. I'm OK with speculation, but there does need to be some justification and or rationale involved. Given that we can't even see the edges of what we predict to be the size of the Universe, it's really hard to have anything intelligent to say about what might be really far out there.
Plus, the 4th dimension is time, and the fifth dimension definitely isn't spatial in nature. It's the dimension that's necessary for non-deterministic reality to happen. Basically the dimension which allows for all the freaky quantum stuff to happen without our seeing it directly. Which is one of the reasons why hypercubes and things like that are such strange things. It's unlikely that there are 4 dimensions in this reality that are all measured in meters.
It's 2011, just rip your discs to disk and use a relevant utility to mount them. You really ought to be backing up the discs anyways, may as well use the images for installing as well.
I can do that with my games from gog.com. Steam is just an annoyance, they can pull the license for all your games at any time with or without justification if their software claims you're cheating. It's hardly infallible, they have had to apologize the in the past for mistakes it's made.
What's worse is that if they flag you on one game you can end up with your entire collection being disabled. Personally, I only buy when there's a massive sale and I can get the game for under a couple dollars, but there's folks out there that trust Steam with hundreds of dollars worth of games. Good luck getting them back if somebody hacks your account.
I'm afraid I have to call bullshit on that. Sure there are several ISPs here, but they all use the same ISP to sell them the bandwidth, meaning that you end up paying more for the same service. You're likely to get better customer service, but at the end of the day you should, you're paying a lot more for service. Around here we've got Hughesnet, Comcast, Qwest and Clear. That's it. At this point any other ISP is going to have to contract with Qwest to provide service.
And around here the link you put forward isn't available, which is the problem, there are good ISPs out there, just not in this region because Qwest has the regional monopoly over DSL service.
In practice, which is why I called bullshit, you don't ever have more than 4 choices that are legitimately separate. And from my list you can pretty much strike Hughes and clear for not being sufficient.

Sort of like being comic strip creator, so many women keeping you away with a stick.

That wouldn't be prohibited under net neutrality rules, you'd just have to make the formula used the same for everybody.
