Why would they leave your account in a log-innable state given that the only thing they can expect to gain from it is someone else cracking your password and giving offense or something?

For what?

The tithe is entirely voluntary. It's the clowns in bad suits on TV who pressure people to 'give til it hurts'. Real churches don't do that kind of crap.

You give in gratitude for your salvation, not in order to win it. That is bedrock Christian theology. And God is just as happy with you giving
through volunteer work or simply visiting a friend. But do keep in mind that your local church can't keep the doors open unless they get help.
 

Movie business model:
1) Make a trailer that looks cool
2) Fill the other hour and 29 minutes so the trailer seems to have had a plot
3) Hope people pile into theaters on opening night, before word gets out that it sucks
4) Buy TV advertising to tell the non-moviegoing crowd you can have it at home
5) Make sure the advert contains only those parts of the trailer that list the headline stars
6) Hope people pile into something other than a video rental store to buy before word gets out that it sucks

In other words, it's the world's only product you are expected to purchase sight-unseen with no refunds. Sure you can buy other things unseen, but this is the entire business model.

It's a solved problem. I flew Northwest from Portland to Tokyo, an A330-300, pretty regularly between mid-2005 and mid-2008. 120V, 60 Hz was available in coach class forward of row 21, and throughout business and first. Seat Guru is your friend here. Sadly, after the Delta acquisition they moved the A330 elsewhere and replaced it with a ridden-hard-and-put-up-wet 767. At least I don't have to make the trip any more, I'd probably be bored senseless.

But if you haven't noticed, the U6 rate has been hanging between 12%-26%, depending on your state. U6 includes the "underemployed"- those who work, but don't earn enough to pay for a living, let alone for health care, and "discouraged workers"- those who have been out more than 18 months at this point and have given up looking for work.

The majority of those who aren't insured, are in the U6 group- for whom that $5 you gave up from your paycheck is a meal.

Certainly not. The Bundeswehr was formed in 1955, several years after the end of WW2. In 1933 there was the Wehrmacht

I think the article is speaking more to the developer and OSS evangelist set, but I get what you're saying. Another non-user metric that I find rather revealing about the comparisons made by the article, yet not addressed by the article, is:

* Can you install one operating environment on the other?

In desktop, this would be handled by VM's, WINE, Wubi, etc. On phones, it's interesting to note that the N900 is powerful enough to run VM's of other OS's, like Palm Garnet, Debian, and even Android itself. Most of the Android stack is on top of a similar Linux base, so potentially Android could even be compiled to run "natively" as an interface alternative on the N900. This has already been done on past N-series tablets, and the N900 is more powerful than any of those past devices. I doubt the inverse is true, that running Maemo on Android is possible, but that might be an interesting hack. I would say the effort required is definitely asymmetrical between the systems at this point, with Maemo being clearly more the flexible operating environment.

Sadly the ones you mentioned are pretty well established. Better to work on discouraging new ones and let the old ones die out.

But 'cmon. It's prophecy we're talking about. What's six days between god and muhammod. Dreams aren't exactly a high fidelity medium.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be opposed to applying laws equally to religions. If that means they're constantly in trouble for hate crimes or fraud, then all the better.

The n900 has a front facing vga cam for video calling. most 3g phones have this functionality, at least in europe they have.

Well if i'm reading this correctly then it can also still be found in dutch. we use the "ui" extensively as a seperate sound, and indeed almost all foreigners have great trouble pronouncing it.

Yes and 15 percent of americans cant pay for health insurance. so if they ever have a problem they're bankrupt, not much of a solution either.

Fascism is a form of corporatism. Get it right
