Whenever someone trots out a new search engine, my usefulness test search is "java keyword default". If the first page does not include a language spec for java indicating that 'default' is a keyword that appears in switch, then the engine is marked 'fail'.
Only google did it right and even now, they have slipped. The one right page is forum at sun where someone is getting schooled on what the keyword 'default' is about, but not sun's own language documentation. That used to be the number one position.
However, the link spam is significantly less. Currently on google you have to mentally edit the garbage out as you read if your search refers to anything that might be bought or sold.
It's one thing, in the software industry say, to outsource the grindhouse work like installers, black box testing and the nth maintenance release of Boring Software 2007, but when creative, innovative jobs like R&D go overseas, then local workers are truly screwed.
Even if you've kept yourself up to date, flexible and on the leading edge you still won't find work!
radioactive particles from an object can be very contagious.
I recall doing experiments in a nuclear reactor as an undergrad and my partner and I were reprimanded for wandering around. There was a lot of irradiated material around (like steel plates) that if we touched could have contaminated us (radioactive rust).
Not curl up and die stuff, no, but not something to ingest either.
At first I thought that without an integrated optical drive this was a non-starter. However these days, I'm beginning to think that that's too old school. It's not unreasonable to have lots of video on disk or on your ipod or available over the net. You don't even really need one for installing software.

They are are not aero/astro grads, they are Course 16 grads.
Heretic! Purge the Blasphemer!
Why not just use Julian Dates and be done with all this cyclic ambiguity?
Is the colophon a turd?
There may be more than astronauts and janitors in the future. There may be alphas, betas, deltas and gammas too.
This needs a +1 Ironic label
It may mean that A1 is entwined with other genes that provide actual benefit. Why does homosexuality have a genetic component?

Let me guess, you are a tenured professor of geophysics at a private university in the eastern United States and have 5 degrees?
