I wouldn't smoke whisky if i were you. it'll leave a nasty mark and burn away your tattoo.

The government should not be constrained by market assumptions, such as that resources are limited because of efficient allocation.

That's not a "market assumption", it's plain old reality: resources are finite, so you need priorities. If a cop pulls someone over for speeding, then sees an armed robbery in progress, or a paramedic is treating someone's sprained ankle then a bystander has a heart attack, do you want them to stick to what they were doing and reject the notion of priorities as being a "market assumption"? I'd rather they focus their efforts on the higher priority, because that gives the best outcomes.

In this case, the FTC had more pressing enforcement jobs, like telemarketing scams, the fight with cellphone companies over ripoff premium services ... they felt putting their resources there made more sense than fighting Google over the order of search results, and I'm not at all sure they were wrong about that.

By coincidence, I was discussing law enforcement priorities at work on Friday (we teach computer forensics for law enforcement, among other things); unlike the world of CSI, real law enforcement doesn't go spending days testing out an obscure theory, or digging into every possible detail of each case: they do enough work on a case to pass it to the next stage, then get on with the next case. No "market" - there just aren't an unlimited number of hours in each forensic caseworker's day.

i thought they built a iron fusion reactor, only risk is the world has so much iron that it might all spontaneously fuse and destroy the earth and all life on it. actually i'm kidding thats from a scifi story!

the human body has so many cells and auto heals placebo effect is just random self repairing mechanism not failing at critical. until someone really measures the exact brain chemistry of people at the time they 'placebo' heal instead of drug heal it is just lucky that the medicine perhaps just does the same thing placebo users bodies are doing automatically.

i am not getting one i refused to pay for a smartphone when i can make calls from a feature phone and also use it instead of an ipod... i have 32GB chips for it...

it's time. what is the difference? every cool idea ever invented was thought of way before what we call 'modern' times. my music suggests that 'modern' companies are just reinventing the same old stuff that was known about for ages and if they weren't common it is just because people didn't 'need' them or 'want' them. who wants a watch you have to charge every night along with your phone and thus have two things to remember to plug in?!?

snowden has a lot of options, he could wipe his mind clean and then be completely a vegitable. for one. i'm sure there are bugs that would love to infest his brain too... or he could just learn how to spontaneously combust. he could try to grow plants inside his body that use fusion to power their growth and petrify his heart while he still lives. he could use an array of abacus to start number crunching the full length string of pi. he could lock his brain in a infinite loop of forkbombs... even if they dd his brain the password file is probably eroded from the acid rain. so only guest accounts with no passwords can log in...

they are using an hp calculator which is based off an array of abacus, so it only has -200 beads to +200 beads.

i would use Moble payments but i live too far from alabama.

because when she said 'zfs has DEduplication' she though that meant sending the whole ball of wax to be duplicated in DE(germany)

"One set of algorithms, good for the lifetime of the device..."

well the easy way to do that is set the device lifetime to 5 seconds. it takes 6 seconds to look up a rainbow table.
