Comment In a related study (Score 1) 347

The association between religion and the belief that âoe I am pure and you are going to hellâ is so ingrained that merely thinking about it can trigger more immoral behavior, according to a study by researchers at the University of Kansas. The researchers hypothesized that there is a deep-seated perception that my religion makes me better then you â" its emphasis on myth-seeking, self-importance and irrationality privileges above all else. The researchers conducted four separate studies to test this. In the first, participants read a bible passage of a date-rape and were asked to rate the 'wrongness' of the offense. Those reporting greater belief in religion condemned the victim more harshly stating âoeshe probably deserved itâ. This was also followed up with the strong believe that if it was a âoerealâ rape then her body would just reject any possibility of pregnancy.

Just a thought. Forget actual failure. What happens when they have IP data or licensed data that is being hosted by a cloud provider, or company to company lawsuit. Court case starts. Could or would they they seize all computers / servers that could house the data? What would happen to the other peoples data that resides on the same physical hardware?

You do understand the these same people who are now fighting for budget cuts before approving to raise the debt ceiling are the same people that voted and approved the spending to begin with? House votes to approve spending on items. Then the credit card that this was put onto is now coming due. So now the tea party wants to put controls on spending??? What happened to when the budget was up for voting, did they miss that part?

This has always been Apple's business model. In the past they did the same thing with their computer business. If you want to make an application to run on our computers you owe us a cut. So all programmers went over to pc / dos. No cut. Fast forward and pc / windows has major market share of the business. They lost the computer war doing this business practice. Why do they think its going to work again this time? I expect we will be seeing history repeating its self.

That is also why in your contract with your marketing agency (fly by night or not) that you say no spamming allowed and if that is broken, the contract has liability and penalties for the marketing agency. The purpose of that contract is so if you get sued for spamming then you pass those cost to the marketing agency that actually performed the action. It is all standard when dealing with a 3rd party vendor in business.

WAY off topic but.
Actually they are not in charge of health care. It is called regulations. The same kind that they used to have on the banks, before they removed them and it all went to hell. The same kind that used to be on CC and how much they could charge you interest, before they removed that then everyone got to see rates from 20% to 30%.
It is and only will be health insurance regulations. but you just keep on believing that its a take over and its all going to come out bad for you.
Start using your brain and stop living in a world of wordsmiths.
