Frankly, that sound like a eugenics argument. We have somewhere around 3 million births every year in the US. Our population will not shrink if a few thousand or tens of thousands more people die per year. However, the increased burden of illness could severely damage our economy and reduce everyone's well being. In addition, choosing vaccinations or not is not a matter of intelligence, but rather of ignorance. That is something that can not be cured by modern technology or by evolution.

It is my kid. I looked at all of the research I could on all of the vaccines on my daughter's schedule, and decided to get them all. In particular, I was hesitant about the chicken pox vaccination. Because seriously, who dies form chicken pox? Apparently, about 100 kids in the US per year, before immunization for the virus became widespread. As small as that rate is, the odds of her dying from chicken pox were greater than the odds of having a serious reaction to the vaccine.

The oral Polio vaccine comes to mind. It has a small but measurable chance of causing Polio and was banned for use in the US in 2000.

This is what modern westerners fail to understand. Without childhood immunizations we would be facing hundreds of thousands of childhood deaths each year in the US and Europe from preventable diseases. Our immunization programs have been so successful that modern parents don't know what it was like to loose siblings and classmates to measles or to see friends and relatives crippled by polio and have to be placed in an iron lung.

Yes, vaccines have problems. No, companies should not be sheltered from prosecution for producing dangerous medicines, but lets put everything in perspective. I'll gladly trade a few illnesses or deaths caused by vaccines for the mountain of dead caused by diseases.

Here is a rebuttal article http://scienceblogs.com/insole...

The proxy is most likely transparent. When a web browser attempts an HTTPS connection the firewall responds to the client as if it were the server and sends a self-signed public key. Then it makes a connection to the destination server in the client's stead. Firefox complained because corporate IT had not installed the firewall as a trusted CA, like they had when they installed Chrome and IE. Realistically, IE inherits its certs from Windows and certs can be installed via Active Directory.

This is an easy one.

A computer of such infinite and subtle complexity that organic life itself will form part of its operational matrix. And it shall be called... the Universe.

Limited? Perhaps they were, but they did provide for some thrilling television.

I'd rather have that than the BS backroom deals than we have now. People won't stand for ISPs that nickle and dime them for watching video streaming services. On the other hand, people will put up with having to pay 2 bucks extra per month to Netflix and Hulu.

I'd rather see the government seize the last-mile infrastructure under public domain rules. Let the local municipalities and counties operate and maintain the physical plant and let others sell Internet service to the populace.

Really? It's not like The Feds are going to swoop in and seize AT&T's network infrastructure. The only effective difference regulations will make is is whether AT&T will make significant returns on their investment or obscene returns. The President can't force the FCC to act or to act quickly, and he can't dictate the shape of regulations. It will take regulators months to finalize any changes, assuming they do it at all, and will likely not going to go into effect for a long while after that. So AT&T is really putting a large portion of their business on pause for the next many months to a year because of something a President said in a press release that literally changes nothing? I don't buy it.

According to TFA, the workers were brought in to "help install the company's computer network and systems in connection with the move of the company's headquarters from Foster City to Fremont." That sounds more like IT technician work, which is not exempted from overtime in California.

Most wilderness areas are restricted to day trips only, i.e. no camping, without a permit.

Clearly you have not been paying attention.
