You can be a non-union shop in a union-heavy industry in one of two ways: You can actively suppress the unions or you can be so good to your employees that the idea of unionizing seems silly.
Which method does U2 employ?
Judging from this story ("Mandatory disconnects for music downloaders"), if I had to guess I'd say the former.
That's really interesting! It's possible the ball was ferromagnetic, though, some kind of ferrite.
I was asking about the speed because, if the projectile could create a smooth bore through and through, well, that's quite a bit faster even than a DU APFSDS penetrator. I can't speculate how much faster, but, a lot! There's the whole piercing problematic to overcome, and the only way a softer material can pierce a harder one, is if the impact would fuse the metal. Or something.
I explained recently to a friend of mine, that Vista's main features are aimed at DRM, doing, that is, the job for the media companies, and not for the user.
No matter how you spin it, the code that tracks and filters the media streams in Vista, does eat resources. The MP3 playing vs. network performance crap is a consequence.
That said, I am glad you DIDN'T NOTICE any performance degradation with Vista. However, such degradation is real and it is measurable.
Put this into the equation: petrol is highly subsidized in the US: nobody in the world (eccept maybe Venezuelans and Nigerians) pay as little for gas as US citizens. So basically, whether you use public transportation, your bicycle or an SUV, you support, with your taxes, the subsidized gas. I'm sure the american car manufacturers wouldn't be able to move as many SUVs as they do today, if americans paid unsubsidized prices for the gas.
If these things don't breed... then they start dying off? Then what happens when the mosquito population severly reduced One can only hope...
Sorry, don't mind me - my problem is that I am allergic to mosquito bites (some more than others). One single mosquito can spoil an entire day for me, and transform it into hell.
Dude! You make some amazingly good points. I am not necessarily an absolute determinist, but I do believe the chemical and biological aspect of our actions should be taken into consideration.
3) Your employer gets smart and simply outsources your job, thereby skipping all of the intermediate steps. Didn't you notice? This has been going on regardless of unions. ESPECIALLY in the non-unionized IT-world.
..with Sun comes naturally. Sun has opensourced three crown jewels: the newest Ultrasparc core (opensource HW), Java and Solaris - together with their most advanced disk resource management system, ZFS.
Somebody care to remind me which products of similar strategic importance to IBM, did IBM opensource?
Reminds me of when I was using a hex editor to "help myseslf" to some extra gold in Civilization I - I remember I could only up my gold to 3000 pieces, that was the Civ Is upper limit. Very off-putting, when you have to leave the game and start the hex editor just to replenish your reserves!
I hope you're right. Let's hope it actually does begin (the suit has not been filed, yet), and that it ends fairly quickly. That is, before the end of the next decade.
The most egregious one was getting the service wrong for a 2 star general - despite the fact that he was interviewed in his Air Force uniform on an Air Force base about what was clearly an Air Force program, and the PA officer handed the reporter his bio sheet. How freakin stupid can you get?
Hahahaha... that's hylarious! You don't happen to have a link to this whole mess, do you?
It's not non-technical people in general: it's journalists in particular. My father, a retired journalist himeslf, used to tell me that journalists are the most ignorant people of all. And unrepentant.
I was waiting for this to happen, and finally, it did. Now, my mind races forward, to the end of the suit, maybe decades ahead: up to how much money can the RIAA be held accountable for? What I mean is, how much money can they be fined till they are bankrupt? Can (or should) the RIAA member companies actually pay the fine - in which case we're talking much larger sums?

That really is fucked up. Is this not an issue on a constitutional level?

What comments do you find disturbing? I read one about corruption in the Philippines - is that what you had in mind?
Most interesting post of this thread.
Do you have any idea of what speeds could that rail gun your prof had tested?

Thanks dude, I dind't know that was all it took!
...doesn't it mean it has some evolutionary advantages?

So how many laptops per forthnight is that?
Don't attribute to a typo what can easily be explained by forgetfulness.
You wanna make me feel old?
for something with a little more ethernet ports. Like, one, for instance.

How short-sighted of Sid
They never printed a correction? For such a glaring mistake, I thought a paper is liable for, well, not diffamation but _something_!

So the Uni people (scholars and students) campaigned against the pope giving the speech. So the pope obliged. And now they say he plays the martyr.
