Well, Facebook could just go out and pick up RIMM for the price of six photo apps (give or take - there may be another 1/2 app in premiums). However, they probably wouldn't have the slightest idea what to with a profitable company that generates $18B in revenue every year.

They swapped diplomatic notes a few times during the war, which were essentially waivers on the treaty to support the war effort.

Have a hard time believing that none of the people who clicked "zero" (31% right now) own a smartphone, a portable music player, a tablet, a digital camera or a USB thumb drive.

Popovkin went on to announce that Drax Industries has been awarded the tender for construction of the new shuttle fleet and moon base. He went on to note that Drax's recent announcement of a toxic orchid-farming operation in the Amazon jungle was pure coincidence, and by the way did anyone know of an orthodontist in Washington who knew how to work with steel?

Technical virgin redirects to Virginity, so that's four steps, no assistance from the Oracle...

"The President in particular is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the people, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Barak Obama is one of the most successful Presidents the United States has ever had... Very very few people realize that the President and the Government have virtually no power at all, and of these very few people only six know whence ultimate political power is wielded. Most of the others secretly believe that the ultimate decision-making process is handled by a computer. They couldn't be more wrong.

Executives are being asked to return their bonuses, so don't think it's a big win for him.

Try 40 channels - Janet Cardiff's 40 Part Motet art installation. Very cool to experience it in person.

Reason #568 for the US to move to EMV. If this had happened in Europe or Canada, the card data would have been encrypted before getting sent to Global Payments, so using the info to clone cards would not have been possible.

I can't help but notice that your post also ends with the word "Discuss". Was that intentional irony or merely a coincidence? Discuss.

6 million total pregnancies
4 million live births
0.8 million miscarriages/still births
1.2 million abortions

1.2/6 = 20%

So one in five pregnancies end up in an abortion. If you only include viable pregnancies it's more like one in four. Regardless of your position on abortion it's a very high number.

"Until you actually know who's running, especially in each round, you can't vote effectively in advance. Some people did, not being NDP I'm not sure exactly how that process worked, but the idea was to see how it worked with people voting real time."

Advance voting was done via preferential ballot. You rank everyone in order of preference. If your first place candidate gets eliminated, your vote shifts to the next person still in the running.

It turns out that 85% of the votes cast were advanced ballots, so the people logging in to vote round round by round or who voted in person at the convention had a very limited ability to change the outcome.
