Can someone mod this up please!

I doubt you will ever see Obama behind bars, but I definitely would like it too!

A democrat will not do shit that will upset a single sheep. It all has to do with class, both sides. Neither one of them want to fix the deficit and that is easy to see. If they did... Why do we still not have a balanced (today, not the 10 years later carp) budget.

Simple answer is that the confrontation sells. They proved it in this election, that's for sure. They want people to pick one issue that they are so concerned with, fill them with FUD and then slip a bunch of bullshit in under the radar.

The sad part is that you bought it.

It is definitely interesting... Scary even! What kind of government functions could be brought online if it is assumed that everyone has high speed internet access? I understand the argument for persistent access to the internet being an economic boost. I use my smartphone every day. I am not sure that I agree that it should just be everywhere and "FREE".

I can't think of a single social innovation that is worth the cost. It is definitely worth discussing. It just shouldn't be mandated from some office somewhere, by someone completely unqualified, and towards a goal that they probably wouldn't agree with anyway.

No legs at all. Since when should everybody else pay for it? Why should any government provided Internet access? It should be a source of income for those telecom companies.

I see a lot of admins in very large companies throw labor at a problem as their first course of action. It is typically a face palm moment for me as I often see the problems as fixable in minutes. I believe that all sysadmins should be able to program, but think that making a programmer a sysadmin is generally a bad idea.

2Cents, you are absolutely right. Even in windows systems, a basic understanding of what can be done with code can stop 5 people from running around to a couple hundred machines each.

Should the sysadmin be a programmer? Not in the conventional sense, but they should be able to programmatically attack the problems placed before them before they just brute force their way through them.

Could not resist... Sorry!

The methane in the atmosphere is causing swassal warming!

I was going to say that deficits cause global warming... it is the same hockey stick. If we solve global warming, we will fix the US deficit, AND!!! Stop piracy.

Back on topic...
All causation as we have defined it is correlation, but the converse is not necessarily true, i.e. where we find correlation we cannot always predict causation.

This is pretty cool overall. I would like to see the resulting arguments regarding global warming, the economy, cancer, mercury poisoning, and whatever else comes out.

Isn't hindsight always 20/20?

Out of curiosity, which copier brand? I have seen it done on newer generation Ricoh, Canon, and Sharp. Xerox probably locks the machine out, because they are crazy like that.

I was not saying that it was a good idea, just that it could be done.

We are a copier company, and in many years I have not seen or heard of a machine that would lockout in this situation.

Actually, you can easily copy the currency on any machine. Just place a paperclip on glass with the bill.

Not quite ;)

Forget the probes, lets land up there and start exploring!
