Every time there is an article on weight someone comes in and says, "people just need to eat less." When you get older you will learn more. Some people are just "fat" and there's nothing they can do about it. My wife and I eat the same meals every day. She is skinny and healthy while I am obese. Same meals. It is NOT always a matter of counting calories. I have two daughters. One can eat a gallon of ice cream every day and she is medically underweight. The other only eats twice a day like a bird and is obese. Science will figure it out eventually but it isn't as simple as people would like to think it is.
When Facebook creates an account for someone that account is FOREVER and I can find people there. Compare this with email addresses which tend to change every few years as people get new internet service. Plus there's no place you can go to find someone's email address. When the internet first went public I asked why the post office doesn't offer an email address to every person the way it assigns a postal address. If they did this it would be FOREVER and we could find people using that method.
I think it comes down to price and portability. When the iTunes store priced music appropriately and eliminated copy protection (giving portability) music piracy almost went away. If the same could be done for movies I believe we would see a repeat in that market as well.
It makes no sense that I can buy a slightly older hit movie for $5 out of a bin at Shopko and play it anywhere but if I want it from iTunes (limiting where and how I can play it) I'm stuck paying $15 or even $20.
Functionally we need a cross between iTunes and Plex. Something that will allow us to manage the physical files and the metadata like iTunes does. Also, something that will allow syncing between devices the way Plex does (wirelessly and from anywhere).
Same story here. AHS paid for a new double oven, fixed the ice maker in my freezer, fixed my dishwasher twice, and replaced my pool pump. I've got no problem with them at all and I've recommended them to other people.
When my grandparents were young they couldn't make a living in Kansas farming so they packed all their belongings into their truck and drove to a place where they could earn a living. Like them, I did the same thing when I was young. The idea that someone is entitled to a job where they wish to live makes no sense. You move where the work is.
My great-grandfather operated a ham radio illegally. He was afraid of getting caught so he designed his antenna to be raised and lowered as needed. I'm not knowledgeable about the larger antennas but would this be a possible solution? I've had my ham license for over 20 years but I've only operated on 2m and even that has been a long time ago.
I moved into a small development two years ago that has an HOA. I love the HOA. Every house I've ever owned came with a neighbor who wanted to paint his house purple, play loud music all weekend, park a motorhome in front of my house for the summer, and leave their dogs outside all day with no interaction leading to constant barking. I was relieved to move into a neighborhood were I don't have to put up with that anymore. Of course it also means I had to submit pictures/plans of the shed I intended to build but that's just so the look of the neighborhood is preserved and I didn't mind. A lady two houses down defied the HOA and put a cheapie roof on her house that doesn't match the style of the neighborhood. She then put it up for sale and it took over a year to sell it below what she originally paid. So those rules do seem to help preserve house values. So I love my HOA. I wouldn't force it on anyone but I love them.
I tried ethernet over the power line and it was incredibly slow. I switched to ethernet over coax and it worked much better for me. I then used multiple Apple Airport Extreme base stations in roaming mode. I'm sure there are a dozen other routers that will do the same thing.
I frequently search for a business and google displays the name, address and phone number in a very nice box in my browser. There is no way to move that information to my address book though. It seems like google could have a button to push a cvs file to me.
If this article were true companies would be falling over themselves to install female CEO's and claim the 18% additional revenue. There are good CEO's and bad CEO's and gender has nothing to do with it. You are right though. If we don't all jump up and clamor about the wonders of women there will be outrage from all the white nights.
“Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”
I never said we should stop feminism. I acknowledged an all male office might be as bad as an all female office and I also said I've worked with some very accomplished women. Perhaps my own experience came through with too much bitterness. I wouldn't wish on anyone the things I went through.
To the anonymous coward, in the previous comment, might be right that the same thing happens in an all men office. I just haven't worked in that environment.
To the most recent anonymous coward (it's confusing isn't it?) I can give examples. 1) before managers meetings the women would meet with each other, arrange to agree on what they wanted from the owner, then when the meeting would start they would abandon each other and even belittle the others ideas in favor of their own. After a few backstabbing events I learned not to trust them. 2) they would tell the owner they could accomplish some difficult assignment and then realize they had no idea how to do it. Then they would come to me and I would complete the entire project with the good faith we would share the credit. Instead they would announce to the owner that "they" finished the project despite working with the difficult IT person. They would do the same thing to each other. Taking credit for another persons work. I could go on...
I've worked with some very accomplished women but when they get together in a group watch out.
I've worked for an almost all female company before and most of their time is taken up with backstabbing each other rather than getting their work done. I had to explain even the simplest things to them over and over. I'm aware that some women are very accomplished but overall it's the men who get the difficult projects done.
I tried putting my kids in Montessori and it was a complete waste. They let the kids set their own learning schedule which meant they never learned anything. A complete waste of time. I'm sure that some Montessori schools are better than others but my experience was very negative.
Now I have my kids in a private christian school. They love going to school every day and they are learning. I can't even keep up with their homework anymore but at least I can show up as a chaperone for different events. I'm certainly not saying all christian school are superior. I'm saying there is a lot of variation between schools.
As for year round vs nine months I think I prefer nine months. There are some activities that require large blocks of time.
I spent about twelve years as an IT director. I had access to every email account and every document created including financials. I discovered that most of my co-workers where doing their absolute best to stab each other in the back. The lies were rampant. Management was also lying to the employees (leading from the top down?) about company finances. It made me very unhappy to know about all the horrible things they were doing to each other. I think I would have been much happier not knowing all of those things. So my recommendation is to ignore all of that information you could "see" and just do what's necessary for your job.

I agree but not very many people do that.

This story reminds me of the Bio-Dome.
