"Could be placebo I guess, but I don't think so." Rofl... you sure you know how placebos work? If you thought it was a placebo then you might have something haha. Only way you can prove it is with a proper scientific study.
You get charged for fake 911 calls. And if they are really in that dire need of constant care. Stick them in a mental ward or a drug rehab facility. Oh wait thats not free in the states is it. You could uh... shoot them i guess, i mean its not like they are productive anyways.
How about you work on survival. Then pretty necessary surgeries (fixing blindness). Then worry about expensive eye surgeries improving vision.
At the moment the US isn't doing the first one for a lot of people. After you got that down you can move on. And so you know, most free health-care systems work on a quality*quantity of life system. 85 year old with vision problems? Sorry. 22 year old bleeding from the head? Get him a hospital bed. This isn't how it works in the US right now which frankly scares the rest of the world.
So we have an amazing useful piece of technology. A law gets passed. Usage of said technology drops 30% and we are supposed to PRAISE this achievement? You know what else would work? Make broadband illegal, just only give out 56k connections. It is enough to browse the web with why would you want more? Unless you are a criminal. This is bullshit. I hope pyratbyran WINS the next election.
Yeah but think of the publicity Google gets having street view with a mob in it. I'd check it out. If the group followed the van for a few hours it would be amazing. The whole village would look like it has thousands and thousands of people constantly screaming. And all the faces would be blurred adding to the scary feel. Village of the faceless screaming hicks? Maybe not the same ring as night of the living dead but still.
I wonder what the liability is on that. You could put cages with tigers in them, strap them to the front of the car. Slap warning labels all over it. It would be safe unless you were touching the front of the vehicle. So you could just push through crowds.
To anyone that agrees with this. Have you ever used streetview? If so you are a horrible fucking hypocrite and I hope you die (Sorry if that possibly sounded a little harsh). If you haven't for shame what kind of nerd are you, its cool and somewhat useful.
At 150,000$ per mp3 it would cost $28,597,527,272.73 to fill the drive. Or around 3 times the GDP(yearly) of Jamaica. Oh and with a 45$/mnth connection you can download that every two days. So... with 150$ and a month you can steal 460billion dollars worth of mp3s. Or the yearly gdp of Sweden.

It drives me crazy that so many people on/. bitch about xGB/mnth. It isn't a big deal. It only becomes a problem when their pricing is retarded. Honestly for a wireless network 3GB a month is way more than enough for me and I'm a pretty heavy user. At home i have a wired connection that can do more at a cheaper rate. At school I usually have wifi (not always which is kinda pathetic). Anyways what you reallllly mean is that you hope wireless providers will treat themselves like wired providers. Not like cellphone providers (self proclaimed messiahs or something, damn crackpots).
Also by coming along you are counting Google, Cisco and Intel providing something for Silicon valley? By that measure soon everyone will have huge servers and be swimming in rivers of money. Silicon valley != rest of the world. That is like saying, nice to see solid gold cars coming to the populace because someone photoshopped a picture of one.
I'm capped at 200GB. I probably would use 250~300 or so were I not capped atm i hit 185~198(close call). Honestly with just 1 or 2 users without running a big server it is more than enough (at the moment). It is enough for unlimited chat/browsing. You can get every new movie that comes out lets say 15 a month. In addition you can get a few thousand songs and maybe 10 seasons of tv. Maintain an even upload ratio. And still have a bit left over. Unfortunately they are offering 1/40th of that making them totally useless.
That said. I'm ok with this. Let them, clearly/.ers aren't part of their market. I think they should spread out just so that their is more competition for our business not less. But that is ok something will pop up to replace them, even if it is on their rented lines.
"toward his country's closest ally, no less" What???? I thought you loved me America, you said I was your closest friend. You pig! Sleeping around behind my back, I'll never forgive you. NEVER... unless you ask nice.
The documents in Alexandria WERE copies. The reason the library was so great was that when people came to port the librarians would copy travelers' stuff. I think it would be kind of impressive if the riaa drmed some of their stuff and protected it so well that it dissapeared entirely... like top secret documents in the us gov.
It isn't as bad as it once was. The common word 'OK' came from the phrase 'All Clear'. But at the time it was fashionable to misspell things as badly as you could manage. Ole Kleer maybe? I don't know but the idea frightens me.

To be fair we have had planes that also go on roads for a loooong time. China does control its weather to a degree. And anyone that has worked on the moon CLEARLY commuted to work. You could strap a furby to a roomba for the last bit too.
Nah I understand that, and that was my assumption. I just thought all the/.ers would force at gunpoint people to switch from fax. Personally I don't understand why email wasn't setup to replace fax directly. Or atleast a common application to do so. (Put paper in scanner, click email/send) Old people while resistant to change are cheap and i'm sure it would have taken them much faster than email has.

I don't have a rock but I have some magical snake oil that will cure any wound if you are interested.
Uhhh if you move 7 to one side then 6 back that is counting. All numbers are for is comparison to one another. I'm still rooting for the smell theory.
You sir are technically correct. The best kind of correct. I apologize if my grave error offended your clearly superior intellect.
i got 5~8.... though my parents were terrible with payments judging from my allowance it is amazing we were never evicted or had power cut.

Ouch... a thread about multilingualism and an american acts as if there are only 2 languages on the planet. Never before has this been more relevant.
'There are two types of people out there, those that can speak at least two languages and Americans.'
