Should Old Faithful stop spewing, are you going to replace it with a pumping structure? In what way is that special? I could dig a hole right here and install a water pump.
This approach hasn't had a negative affect upon the business models of Disney or most Las Vegas resort casinos.
IMO, the better investment would be an MBA. While it's not critical in your first 5-10 years out of school, it will become key to your ability to advance in the next two decades.
The master's degree in CE will make you a master technician. An MBA will allow you to lead teams of master technicians.
BTW, I have a BS, MS, and PhD in CE. I've spent the last decade working on my management skills in lieu of an MBA. If I cold do it over, and MBA would have been in the mix.
On the inside, tons of components are made with oil, and the remainder, the steel supports, are made by burning coal (that's how cast iron is still made, coal is just too cheap and convenient. Everywhere you mine iron you will find coal deposits on top of it, between it,...)
Technically, pig iron is not made by burning coal directly, but by burning coke. Coke is basically coal that has been turned into the coal equivalent of charcoal. This is not done only because coal is cheap, but because the carbon is required in the process of rendering iron ore pig iron.
Although pig iron is "cast," Cast iron usually refers to iron that has been remelted in a gas or electric furnace, mixed with a bunch of elements that improve its mechanical properties, and poured into molds, making useful things like frying pans, manhole covers, and engine blocks.
instead we need to make all voting stockholders proportionally responsible for all debts of a folded company, and non voting preferred holders liable only for tort debt and any debt incurred that the officers of the company knew would never be paid back before the company folded.
While your assertion that bankers should never be left to regulate themselves is correct, your latter idea is idiotic.
The entire notion of a corporation is to limit the liability of the investor to the amount invested. Imagine losing your house because you bought a few shares of SCO? This is exactly what you propose.
You'd be far better off limiting obscene executive compensation, so public-corporations start making decisions on a longer term than the next quarterly statement.
I suspect if you can craft a VM environment that cannot be detected either via software or by the visible inspection of the instructor in the room, you've already passed the test.
87% of the US manufacturing base is devoted to weapons manufacture. The US accounts for over 75% of all military expenditures, world wide, and over 50% is on our own military (not counting the costs of Iraq or Afghanistan).
While I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you,
do you have a citation for any of these bold claims?
Realize that this is a regional phenomenon that results from the significant climatic differences across the US. In a place like FL, you might see a maximum indoor/outdoor temperature differential of 20C, and an average difference of 10C. The inclusion of double pane windows is likely to only have a small impact upon the overall energy efficiency of the house.
In other places, you're looking at a max differential of 60C. Here, such windows are both a necessity and a requirement.
It would be similar to requiring that homes in the Netherlands be equipped with tornado shelters or hurricane shutters. It would cost a lot with little benefit.
Press a key on the keyboard and a similarly shaped glyph appears on the screen. That's pretty intuitive. It's also about as far as most people make it.
I suppose that vi (almost) meets the same criteria.
The sane internet died a decade ago. We're in the death throws of the internet-of-the-corporate-hack. Likely our next stop will be the reincarnation of an AOL like atmosphere where a central application or website insulates you from the internet, and provides you with a limited array of things to do.
Ironically, it was the connection of AOL to the internet that marked the end of sanity in my book.
Here is a really easy way to root a few Unix(like) boxes. Scan for some FTP servers. Log in and spider the directories. Can you make a file that has the executable bit set? Great! Do some fingerprinting to figure out what OS it is (this may not be necessary), upload an executable, then run it. You will be surprised at what said process can now access.
Wasn't the article referencing 2009, rather than 1989?

Me too. The Corvair was a cool little car, especially if you dropped a 350 in it. Unsafe at any speed my ass.
If it is equally unsafe regardless of speed, it makes perfect sense to drive as fast as possible so you can get to your destination sooner.
Seems like you're using sound logic to me.
Here's a better idea. What if we gave some of the Dem states to Canada and Mexico??
Jesusland?

Technically, if you have children, this is more correct:
For the last time, BRUSH YOUR GOD DAMN TEETH AND GO TO BED!
By "standard" I mean the standard rules of spelling and pronunciation, either British or American.
To be fair, English is a horribly inconsistent language...
We like it that way. It keeps the rabble out.

...I would kill to have an ex-employee give a tell all interview about what the hell was going on for the last ten years or so.
I'm going to hazard a guess: not very much.

Except maybe a filing cabinet, and you damned well better know where to find your information there, because there's no "grep" tool for that!
Yes there is. It is called an administrative assistant. However, if you use too many command line options, they get quite cranky.
...it's also the deterioration of the quality of k-12 education in the US - especially in math.
While your deterioration theory is interesting, and math education is inadequate, I'm fairly sure you're hearkening back to a past that never was.
I seem to remember that inadequate math education was offered as "proof" as to why the Soviets beat the US into space with Sputnik.
Nice theory, but the executive branch enforces the law, not the judicial branch.
Are you kidding? Not enough CPU power? 1.2 GHz is enough for me to do raytracing!
I was raytracing in 1990 on something that the modern cell phone can put to shame. It makes me want to say, "Get off my lawn!"
The only hard part would be is figuring out how to efficiently plug in your "beowart" cluster into power strips.
It doesn't work on Firefox? To think that I've been using it for all this time with it...

What about Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia?
-- the stuff that has lasted is cheap and reliable
Isn't cheap and reliable equivalent to good engineering?
Perhaps we should rethink their readmission to the Union.
Good riddance.

Besides the fact that I agree with you, I will explain the reason: flash make things pretty and the masses don't want information.
Fixed it for you.
And when did it's interface become intuitive?
