Dell seemed to figure out how to charge people over time for large tech purchases (and make more money in the process). Why wouldn't Verizon be able to do this?
(Replace Dell and Verizon with any large producer of consumer goods and cell carrier, respectively, to further illustrate my point)
It will always be a 'complex' arbitration like issue when public use is concerned. There's no real answer except to grind through the bureaucracy and reach some kind of general agreement.
So I guess that we are in agreement that pepper spray, riot geared police and dumpsters are not the appropriate way to handle extended political demonstrations.
It seemed that certain areas in Zuccotti park (I don't really care if that is the correct spelling) in lower Manhattan were so densely occupied by tents and personal or group belongings that access was restricted, but it seemed that it was generally accessible.
I don't think the 1st Amendment is limited to protecting free speech. Could you read it and let me know if anything else is in there about assembling and/or grievances.
This seems to be to only post expressing a complete perspective. Thanks.
I would error on the side of allowing a large, generally peaceful group expressing discontent over regional and national political leadership to use the public space over the desire to walk dogs and play. Perhaps one third of the space could have been given some time limited designation (similar to free 20 minute public parking spaces).
Note that I'm not criticizing anything other than your desire to "remove broken links". Although I didn't make it explicit, I was referring to links as cited references, not to a list of external links (though it is preferred, but not always possible to fix or replace dead external links).
So I should just leave all that spam on the page, redirecting the user to god-knows-what via those domain-hunters that grab expired domains, exposing every Wikipedia user who views the link to any sort of monstrosity until someone can recreate that external site, or find equivalent content?
This isn't what I'm suggesting at all. If you note a dead link properly this is not a problem.
a one line, commented, edit that can be reverted in a second if I'm wrong
You shouldn't be removing broken links. You should be noting them, or correcting them. You should also briefly describe the changes you have made in the "edit summary" box when submitting a change. I do this all of the time and never had an edit reverted when doing so.
One way to look at what you describe is that during the depths of the crisis banks lost about 1/2 their capital. Without capital, they fail and take us with them (as happened during the Great Depression). One quick way to recapitalize them is to
One way, yes. The ideal way, no. Also when you are considering capital ratios, you are concerning yourself with potential solvency not liquidity. The price for the Fed's liquidity support is supposed to be higher interest rates. The appropriate price for the Fed's solvency support is permanent losses to unsecured debt and equity holders of the supported bank (excluding depositors).
It seems I got caught in a misinformation maze. My wife works in HR and talks about the FLSA rules; I've never made an effort to see the whole picture only the asinine details she discusses. I assumed based on the incomplete information on slashdot that this was a situation where the law protects businesses from negotiating contracts that are more favorable for employees.
So instead of allowing the employee and employer negotiations to decide if an IT that pays more than $27.63 per hour position is exempt or non-exempt, the law will dictate that they must be exempt. Something tells me that the hourly rate of 27.62 will be common for some time.
Why Muni-owned Providers? Why not consumer cooperatives? Why not Muni installed and maintained conduits for cables with wholesale bids for access? Why not Muni installed and maintained cables and switches, etc. with wholesale bids for access?
Why is creating municipally owned providers assumed to the be optimal alternative? Municipalities seem to be a convenient source of financing for building local infrastructure for modern telecommunications, but nothing seems to indicate that it is the obvious optimal ownership structure in all cases.
The OP is looking for an alternative to RPI (i.e. a second choice or fall back). WPI is perfect for adding to the list of schools to apply to due to proximity quality and reputation of curriculum. He might even be able to intern at SpaceX or NASA to satisfy the graduation requirements. (My friend attended WPI and interned at NASA in Houston for 2 summers).
Also, he should check out Rowan University in New Jersey. It has a good value for their engineering school. It is becoming well respected by graduate schools. High grades at Rowan could land you in a MIT in Graduate/PhD program. Though it might be a bit outside of the 500 mile radius from upstate NY.
I agree that socioeconomic effects are a real issue in education. However, I doubt that the "no computers" elementary school has a Computer Science curriculum.
Thanks for your perspective. I would have literally walked out when they said, "the teachers provided deep-tissue massage to the kids during each day's nap time".
"teachers guide the learning process with the students being responsible for their own learning" != "'all students are genious' theory and they can reconstruct by themselves all past human knowledge"
It looks like the State of Pennsylvania does this. (Though they do limit the searches to separate types of court, e.g. Supreme Court vs Commonwealth Court rulings).

I caution against the assumption that precedent ruling = immutable or binding on future cases.
Since when are prisons safe?

This is exactly what works in my experience.
doing things like removing broken links

What is the advantage of this mandate?

I logged in only to see if I had mod points.
I just realized that I wrote 500 mile radius (which is much of the US and Canada). 5 hour radius is what I meant.
Mod parent up. WPI fits the bill perfectly as an option. If you plan on applying to RPI, definitely apply to WPI.

I'm still in favor of using some of that $700.3 billion to double NASA's Budget.

No Steve, you are lucky every day of your luxurious life, every damn day.
