Nope! While the leadership of the church resembles a democratic organization it is not. I think this is the correct way, because it will show the leaders of the church that appearantly they do have to define the churches standpoint. And letting the anti-gay people speak freely that their opinion is the only right one will give the image that is is the standpoint of the whole church. At least now there's an actual reaction and not just endless debating. Needless to say I was one of the now 10.000 people who screamed in disgust and wrote myself out of the church from the website. I love that you can be activist on the web!!! Sorry for ranting....

Perfect comment. This is really the only argument you need in this debate. (Also is similar to my understanding of the world).

No. The 5x performance increase over the A8 means that the increase is over A8's predecessor is 5x greater..
E.g. Speed of A8 = 100, speed of A7 (?) = 70, difference is 30-> A15 is 70+(5+1)*30=250.
Now, the A15 is 2.5 times faster than the A8. Now that was straightforward wasn't it?

Poor reception might actually raise the background noise from phones. You see when a phone dont get a strong signal it "cranks up the volume".
So if you're a bee keeper, running around the hives with a phone without reception might produce more background noise than in an area of good reception...
But also I am skeptical to this research...

Whoaa. I have to rereview your post, as my first wasn't nearly positive enough:

That's FREAKING BRILLIANT.

That might be the best iPad parody yet! I mod you fun.

We can make a verb! Podspadding! No, to wait for it to catch on.

I'm with you. I dont understand how anyone can believe that god's word are supposed to be passed from person to person and that you are supposed to find the right chain of delivery to be accepted into heaven.

I like a concept I've chosen to call 'Contamination by free will'. When you recieve a bible or coran or whatever, some human being (with free will) have written it to the format it is distributed in.

There is no way a human being can be able to recognize the difference by words of god and man. And as you personally cant check the whole delivery chain from god to you yourself, god cannot demand that you find the words that are truly his. All information a person can get is 'Contaminated by free will'.
The only way a person can get in touch with a divinity is through himself if at all possible. Although I'm personally a sceptic, I honor this possibility.

Basically my point is that the only truths anyone should accept are those that he or she understands. No god would demand more.

EXACTLY!

I did not think of bringing this forward in my post, but this another good reason for connecting governments and health care.

If they spend too little now, they will face larger costs later. There is also a incentive to improve preventive health care, because the government in the end pays when someone's sick.

There is no government, only people who wants to be reelected.

And if they can make the government spend less on health care, they can lower taxes and maybe be reelected? You see?

This of could of course induce a fair amount of short sightedness into the system, but there a ways to take this into consideration as well.

The most important thing is not if the government is able run health as efficiently as possible. The important question is who earns money on what. In case of 100% private health care, everybody (even insurance companies!) earns money when someone is sick. In the case of government run health care the government loses money if people are sick. So they have an incentive to keep people well and only recommend useful medications. I think that's the important incentive here to take into consideration. Do people really want a system where the doctor earns more money if you're more sick and so on?

I am curious to what positive effect this might have in reality?

My favorite comment of the day. I like when you can put both parties in a quarrel to shame. It happens too seldom.

This is comment about comments and I realize I might be doing the same thing I'm complaining that other's are. Actually I'm pretty sure I am. Overall I dont like when comments like 'what's this doing on slashdot?'. Give attention to topics that are interesting to you personally. If a comment is not interesting, why do even bother giving it time? That's a waste of time. Reading an a boring article and then complaining about it.

I think I overpriced the Pamela Anderson alternative :/
