I don't know of a whole lot of other jobs out there that require a 4 (or more) year degree yet pay just about enough to live on. Add to that, many teachers put in unpaid hours at home. The 3 months off? That isn't paid, so they either have to find work over the summer, or some districts allow them to spread their pay over 12 months, which trades the amount of the weekly paycheck for at least getting one every (2) week(s).
There's a lot going in when making ice cream. For example, inclusions in the ice cream (like nuts or chocolate chips, etc...) can change certain properties of the surrounding mix, salts from nuts can lower its freezing point causing heat shock around the inclusions, acids from fruits can curdle the mix, some inclusions can leech into the ice cream, changing the flavor in ways not expected. An improper mix of emulsifiers and stabilizers can mean the ice cream can separate, even when frozen. An improper water, butterfat and air mix can cause the ice cream to freeze solid in hoses, which require line shut downs to fix, driving up costs. Some ice cream has to keep its shape for a certain amount of time before packaging or hardening, you need to plan your mix recipe for that.
Something like this can make things a LOT easier for those who make ice cream, and could easily drive down costs due to fewer issue in manufacturing, packaging, storing and transporting the final product.
They can ask, you can say no and they'd be obligated to refrain from searching your vehicle. They can also suspend or revoke your driver's license for refusing since that doesn't require due process.
I don't hate conservatism, in fact, I'm slightly right of center on certain fiscal issues and left of center on social issues. I don't think anyone (sane) is implying that Mrs. Palin was advocating the gunning down of Democratic representatives. I don't think in a million years she'd think it would happen. But to post such a map with the phrase "It's time to take a stand" using cross-hairs to mark these representatives is wildly irresponsible coming from the position of authority that she has. This woman is in the national spotlight, there are possible aspirations of a presidential run and people listen to her.
This increases quite considerably the chance that someone on the fringes will act in a extreme way, they see stuff like this and feel as though they've been given carte blanche to take matters into their own hands. So, do you blame her for this? Not directly, but her statements play a factor. The blame lies with the shooter, but there's going to be questions as to what pushed him over the edge.
Most of this has probably been suggested already but here you go:

If it stimulates their knowledge, creativity, or mechanical skills, it's a good educational toy, though it'd be a good idea to see what way they're leaning.
Comcast users can't get access to ESPN360.com or Disneyconnection.com, because Comcast didn't pay the access fee. I'd certainly say "yes" it's easier to pay with credit card and gain access, than to be completely blocked under the current situation.
And you might think this is just two websites, but what if the idea catches-on such that Comcast customers can no longer access youtube.com or hulu.com because Comcast chose not to pay those sites required fees? What do people do then? In many areas this company holds a monopoly.
The ultimate decision of what websites customers can access, or not access, should not be in the ISP's hands. It should be for the customer to decide. Power to the people.
A situation like that would likely precipitate other companies seeing the opportunities for customers (the comcast subscribers) and making their own services, something as ubiquitous as youtube practicing this kind of policy would suddenly find its ubiquity usurped by someone not restricting themselves to isp's willing to pay.
There's no law that says they have to take your money, or that they have to provide you services. Its only restraint of trade if, as part of their agreement, equivalent services are blocked by the ISP.
Why is this in YRO? this is a GOOD thing. Granted, Microsoft could do well to make it harder for these entities to survive by virtue of changes to their OS, but there's only so much you can do to curb the naivety of the average user. Not that there's a whole lot that will come out of something like this, I suspect that most of these ads come from a jurisdiction that cares little for American Jurisprudence.
The cops are just as likely to beat the crap out of you and throw you into jail as they are the suspect, more so as you're there and the suspect isn't, especially if you get short with them, they like to call that disorderly conduct.
Mass Tort is a scam. Lawyers use every tactic in the book to bring in clients, get a settlement and then scoop out 40% for themselves. Both the company and the consumer loses and the lawyer gets a jet.
Unions suffer the same problems as the businesses that they're supposed to be keeping in line, they get greedy. A rather interesting example is a strike as IBP near where I live in the early 80's over wages ended up with the workers getting LOWER wages than what they would have gotten without union intervention, I was very very young at the time so I don't remember the details, but my mother was there and has lost a great deal of faith in unions due to the UFCW's handling of that situation. I work in a factory environment, there is no union, wages are very good, the work is pretty easy, the benefits rock, I get sick time, and somewhere around 2 weeks of PTO each week that I can bank up to 600 hours before it stops rolling over. The UFCW has made overtures to the company that I work for, they were promptly told each time to get lost as many of the workers consist of ex-IBP employees.
My state has recently enacted a law requiring anybody who works in a union shop, but has not joined the union to pay dues, because they make use of union resources, even though they have no other options in most cases (the union may have insinuated itself so firmly between the workers and management that management refuses to deal with employees directly). I found this to be wholly unfair to people who don't want to deal with the union and would rather deal with the company themselves.
Telling your children that there's no privacy on the internet is like saying there's no privacy when standing naked on a stage, its simply true. Sure, I think its a great idea that one teach their children to value both their own privacy and those of others, but its not fair to them to keep them blind to the fact that being careless on the internet can leave your life scattered to every server on the planet.
We don't think about walking because our bodies are designed to do it and our brains are wired to execute it. A three year old doesn't think about walking any more than you do, but they can still walk, run, jump and do all sorts of stuff you'd expect a three year old to do. It's like speech for us, we can talk, because we're evolved to speak, our brains drive us to walk, just like it drives us to talk.
If they lose this fight, they'll singlehandedly make the "Ivy League" a thing of the past. I'm not siding with the RIAA here, but the law, unfortunately, is on their side. Are these colleges prepared to take the risk of losing everything to stand up for their students?
Except perhaps what the college might sacrifice by fighting in this manner. Education is good, and educating it's students is what it needs to do, but by resisting the law, they could lose a lot of money, or even their accreditation. Imagine, Harvard, a non-accredited school.
Well, guys, if you want to fix that, you need reliable, hard-to-forge identification. And the people who need to carry that identification are the people who are entitled to services and privileges--the citizens.
The US government can't even make "hard to forge" money, what makes you think they can do the same for our ID cards, not to mention that the forgers now have a standard they can look to rather than 50 of them.
Would this kind of action give the federal government reason to remove the governor and state legislator from their positions and charge them with terrorism? Technically, their law has no force as the federal law always takes precedence. If they specifically instruct state officials to ignore the federal statute, are they guilty of sedition, or even treason? The point is, if the states start resisting the federal government, can we expect a lock down of the authority of the state governments?
Ok. COps deny a lawyer, because they are attempting to sweat a confession. Hours later, after filling him with coffe and water, they deny him use of the bathroom. They get their confession after hours of interrogation. But he requested a lawyer. No confession. He goes free. State cannot prosecute. State does NOT prosecute. This guy wins the criminal lottery and goes free?
YES, he DOES! Amazing isn't it, that the police decided to deny him his freedoms to get a confession. Imagine asking for a lawyer, and getting that denied to you, then the indignity of being denied a basic thing such as the use of a toilet. How can you be sure the confession is real? If he feels hopeless, and is in pain, then maybe he confessed to remedy his current situation. People don't often think beyond the moment in these types of things. Are you implying that the police should be allowed to railroad someone just because they think he's guilty. They have to provide PROOF within the framework of the law.
If the internet were put under UN law, rather than a (specific nation's) law, it would bring in some kind of regulation over the publication of photos, articles etc. over the internet.,
What kind of regulations would the UN impose? If something is parodied and published on the internet, would that be illegal under international law since some countries don't protect that form of expression? Laws regarding publication of photos and articles need to be regulated at the local level. Since it is copywrited in france, then the french can deal with it locally. (i.e. block the site from being viewed in france, etc...) It is not fair for one country to be forced to censor it's own citizens based on the laws of another country REGARDLESS of the medium. Putting the UN in control takes away from countries the power protect or control information as it sees fit.
You forget that the owners of those websites paid money to the creator of the sculpture in order to obtain the rights to publish those photos. Had they not, they would have been rightly sued by the sculptures creator. (and very likely have lost - barring sites that host outside the US)

Why not ladder logic like the rest of the industry uses for PLC's? (arduino excepted and even then, it SHOULD be using that instead.)

You can shoot the stalker, you most likely won't be able to shoot the police without someone noticing.
