I dunno, AT&T's 3G network seems to not be that great all around. I've got an LG CU400 that 'supports' 3G, but every time the phone connected with 3G, it'd stop working. I'd have to powercycle it and use it in the brief period between when EDGE connected and when 3G took over.
I ended up having to find the maintenance code to get into the hardware config and explicitly turn off 3G.
The thing here, though, is in the cases in the article, He has already decided on their time. These are terminal patients; they don't have a window anymore, just a countdown.
Those clinging to machines and procedures to squeeze out every second artifically are, in one sense, denying Him because He has called and they're refusing to answer.
In the cases mentioned in the article, basically He has already decided it's their time, but they keep defying Him by relying on machines and drugs and surgeries, prolonging the time away from Him.
So, basically, no. You're not letting Him decide when your time is; you're attempting to artifically take every last second possible.
I'm fond of Finland's method, where the cost of the fine is proportional to your yearly income.
Sure, it might make the police department start going after more Beemers, Ferraris, Mustangs...but they're also the ones who can easily afford a ticket.
I have taken my Prizm up to 90mph, but damn if I didn't have the feeling it'd turn into the Bluesmobile if I kept it there too long. (I'm talking at the very end of the movie, not the cool bits where it's jumping bridges).
Wendy Sibbison, the Greenfield appellate lawyer for the fired Staples employee, "There isn't a First Amendment right for a private company to broadcast the news of a private person's firing to its employees." -- Yes, Wendy, but using that token, there's no first amendment right preventing a private company broadcasting the same news.
Pesky first amendment, being all vague like that...
Wait, so if we don't identify this complex of buildings with a football field, two baseball diamonds, swimming pool, large parking lot and sports team mascot painted on the 50 yard line as a school...it doesn't have to be blurred?
like southern governors threatening to reject the stimulus package.
Heh, like Jindal? Yes...reject $100 mil going to your state. Never mind he gladly accepted the remaining $3.7 bil of the package. That $100 mil really shows fiscal responsibility.
Actually, treason ranks worse: you can only get the death sentance for murder on a state by state basis, but treason is written into the Constitution as punishable by death. (Article 3. In fact, it's the only crime written into the CotUS.)
So we need to add something into the policy to ensure openness on the operator side, too. (This is why I'm not in politics...)
Hardware wise, they're good starting off points though, I hope that wasn't overlooked. I'd rather have a voting machine built like a video poker box than those things we got now that just require a minibar key.
Not speaking for you, but either some of those people didn't have decent scanners or just ignored the warning signs of said scanner and went ahead with their pockmarked ballots anyway.
And personally, when I voted in CA, we didn't have a scanner handy so I was unable to verify that my ballot was sans error.

Fortunatly, a stronger worded bill would easily fall to First Amendment challenges. Ask Illinois and Louisiana how those turned out...
Yeah, but Mr Wizard rarely, (and to my fast fading memory, never,) preceeded an experiment with "Don't try this at home, kids"
Problem is, nuts watch Mythbusters and even with that warning, they'd still try to do it.
Heck, they did it in CA, maybe they hit a fault line for all we know.
There's a reason all the twenty somethings are playing the hits of the '70s, '80s, and '90s rock in the bars to the other twentysomething patrons.
Let's not overlook the fact that there's always shovelware music made, we just don't remember it because, simply put, it was forgettable.

Phone's worked flawlessly ever since.
There's a punishment for each sin, the stones are just for pride.
The difference, though, is you can eventually leave Purgatory while you're stuck in Hell for eternity.

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter...
only God has a right to decide when my time is.

I'm lucky if I can identify a car by the logo (and even then it's a toss up)...I have no clue what they cost.
So just mentally insert applicable brand of absurdly expensive car there.

And then you run out of fuel halfway between Edmonton and Montreal and suddenly start flying a 150 ton glider...
Or you run into a flock of birds and both engines flame out...
Oh I want a mod point.

But the idiot driving it is relying on the airbags, crumple zones, seatbelts, anti-lock brakes and rack and peanut steering to keep Darwin at bay.
Everyone's a great driver when they take the test; once that's over complicity kicks in.
Until someone challenges it in court, OEM copy = system it was sold with, cause if you get raided by the BSA that's how they'll see it.
Well, for starters, if you change the mobo and cpu, you're technically changing the system and violating the OEM licence.
The OEM manufacturer, thus, has no reason to include a HAL for the alternate chip since it was never designed or licenced to run on it.
That aside, if x86 does die out, MS WILL find a way to make Windows work on it. Basically their cash flow would depend on it.
You may assume that, but there's people out there who are right now wondering how to make a class action case out of this.

There are two types of people in the world, those who got the joke and those listing other comic books.
And, call me crazy, but I don't think blurring Manhattan on Google Earth would've done jack squat to stop that one attack...
