... you don't have a clue regarding the behavior of the stock market but you have full control over your wallet.,
Nobody does, but the guy who's great at acting like he knows makes the bucks. (exception, sort of: See Kramer "Mad Money" guy - he explains that he kind of knows what's going on but he breaths, eats, sleeps, shits, fucks, the stock market.)
... you still haven't understood why not the whole world has gone metric yet.
Neither do I.
.. you understand the futility of software patents.
I don't understand, but I think leaving then just to copyright is the right thing. Please don't ask me to reason it out other than I "think" it like the written word.
... the dude that didn't start to study engineering now is the dude that has five years of work experience and is hiring you when you have finished.
Like the college drop-outs who make it really big: Gates, Jobs, Cuban, etc...and there's the guy who went to 2 year college and has a $3 million tile store argggg! I'm with you.
... that you fail to understand why energy-efficient technology is taxed harder than technology that wastes energy.
With you there.
... for a party you calculate the "bang for the bucks" party when buying the alcohol and forget about the taste.
Not just engineers, sorry.
... you can calculate the distance to a star but fails to understand the astrological terms that the girl of your life is talking about.
I'm sure you've figured this out: you don't need to; just listen to her.

The good thing about an engineering degree is that you're almost guaranteed to be able to find a job somewhere...
Through the years, I've worked with a few folks with engineering degrees. I asked them WTF are they doing programming? Most of them said they couldn't get a job - the aeronautical were the saddest. They hated being programmers but there's only so many spots at the aviation firms and it's mostly defense. God forbid if you had to work with a PhD! They had no interest in their work. They were board and wanted to do research.
Since it was all zooming over their heads, they erred on the side of caution and assumed I was a genius. And I had improved their day with my "insight", which was nothing more than half-drunken babbling.
That's exactly my impression of the modd'ing here.
I find it quite amusing that the birth of Jesus is pretty much set in stone (at least if I believe that day to be Christmas), but the date of his death (or resurrection) isn't.
The date of birth of Jesus was also pulled out of the ass of some Pope. Christian Holidays were set on their particular dates to get medieval folks to stop their 'pagan' rituals and instead celebrate Christian rituals. Christmas:Winter solstice Easter:Beginning of Spring (Ostara now for you Wicans). I'm such a lapsed Catholic I can't remember the Holy days for other celestial events.
What galls me is that, apparently, the database has a flag that can be set for "famous people", which causes a supervisor alert whenever the file is accessed. Where is the special alert for the rest of us? We're the ones whose data could be abused to wreak havoc on our lives and finances.
Oh God Yes!!! I agree so much with that statement.
I don't know about you, but there's no way in hell I could walk into a bank and say that I'm Barak Obama; regardless of the documentation I have (I'm short and all white.) Or Hillary for that matter - I'm male. But, I could walk in with any one of other hundreds of thousands of identities and wreak havoc. My banker told me that she gets at least one person a week trying to steal someone's identity. Hence the endless questions when opening an account. It's also for the (non) PATRIOT Act bullshit - but that's another topic.
Surprisingly, the contractor was fired and the two workers weren't? I'm not sure why this happened,... Unions might be protecting their jobs. If it where up to me, everyone who access anything inappropriate would have been terminated on the spot or as close to it as possible to know for sure they did it. You won't have too many people sneaking a peak when it will cost them their jobs.
What you said and the Contractor was the "goat". Hey everybody, we fired someone over this! And I agree with everything else.
FTFA: And Denver's police department built their own secret spy files on Quakers and 200 other organizations.
Its almost like we are all under suspicion of being criminals.
Quakers! Have I missed some news item of Quakers becoming militant? What next, are the cops going to watch the Salvation Army now?!? Or members of the KISS Army?!?
FTFA:Jane Harman (D-California), a powerful force in intelligence matters and funding, pooh-poohed the ACLU's concerns, and said she supported both fusion centers, and civil liberties.
"I was frustrated when I met with the [ACLU] report authors and they could not point to a single instance of a fusion center violating someone's civil rights or liberties," Harman said. "In fact, state and local laws and protections in place at many fusion centers are more rigorous than their federal counterparts."
Ahem:California's Anti-Terrorism Information Center admitted to spying on anti-war groups in 2003. And Denver's police department built their own secret spy files on Quakers and 200 other organizations.
It looks like there's already some scope creep. Does anyone else hear a voice in their head saying, "Slippery slope! What's happening to America!"
Mental note: Jane Harman D-CA. Must tell CA relatives about this when her seat is up for reelection.
2) They make this interface work in conjunction with other body movement - like maybe adding it to the Wii games like Avatar. You'd actually have to move and think the right things to get the character on screen to do what you want.
I always wanted a martial arts game where you would wear gloves and boots and fight a computer guy. it wouldn't be the same as sparring with a real opponent (3D, depth perception, actually getting hit, etc...) but it sure would be a great and fun workout - maybe even helping with timing.
Why should they? What I'm saying is PCs for work and consoles for games. I think it's good that there's a specialty computer for games. That'll relieve some of the pressure on PC makers from having to make these boxes "for everybody". I don't know about you, but most of the graphics capability for my PCs goes unused. And the only reason I can think of is that Intel or whomever designs them that way so that these things "fits all". I'd like an even cheaper mother board for just business type of applications - I don't need the sound cards, super duper video, etc... for email, web browsing, word, exel, or any of the server apps when I'm running Linux on the board.
When you turn off the TV, the World is so much safer and calm. You're not getting the distillation of ALL the Worlds problems into the idiot box. For homework, just note how many disasters, crimes, murders, corruption, etc... actually occurs in your immediate area - your state, province - yes, I mean that big of an area.
This all depends not so much on what congressmen sign up as it does exposure to the general public
FTFA: Candidates can signal their intentions to take any one or all of the pledges by filling out a form at the organization's web site, which then formulates code that provides a graphic that the candidates can then place on their election campaign web sites.
This is my suggestion: Make it part of a subtle smear campaign, initially. In other words, all you need is one candidate who will be a part of this and advertise that the other guy isn't. That will imply the other guy is corrupt. Sounds like "clean" politics, but it'll start getting the others on board. I'm too cynical to believe that it will take anything less.
From Your link: Airborne Exposure Limits:
- OSHA Acceptable Ceiling Concentration:
mercury and mercury compounds: 0.1 mg/m3 (TWA), skin
Interesting. My Chemistry teacher in college told me, after I broke a thermometer, that I didn't need a mercury clean up kit for that little amount because it would oxidize. That's when he went on to tell me about the mercury in my fillings.
I don't know how old you are. My daughter is 26 and I noticed that she and her friends value friendships more than careers. Much more than my generation did. They also value the quality of life more. Meaning, life doesn't revolve around career or the job. Yes, they'll spend time and $$$ training and learning, but it's not the end all like my generation. I busted my ass in my career and so did my friends. My career is meaningless now and all of my "friends" have moved on.
I think the Gen Y or Millenials or whatever they're called has their priorities in order. Basing your life on your career and job is idiotic and I think that's where my generation is clueless when it comes the Gen Y'ers attitude towards work. They mistake wanting a life with apathy towards their job. Jobs come and go and are easy to get; but people who really matter to you are hard to find.
the rest of the country is seeing the problems that they caused and their uncooperative behavior to address the problem. It'll also affect the other companies because this will lower the public's confidence in voting machines and e-voting in general.

You can hang a Rothko upside down?

I've been reading "John Adams" and I'm really starting to see how far we, the USA, have strayed.
You forgot the Greek input. And sales job that the apostles made to them - Jesus was the Son of God and all that nonsense.
And then some. "Do onto others as you would have them do unto you." - Confucius
Much of the philosophy was borrowed from Taoism and Buddhism and other Eastern thought.
The date of birth of Jesus was also pulled out of the ass of some Pope. Christian Holidays were set on their particular dates to get medieval folks to stop their 'pagan' rituals and instead celebrate Christian rituals. Christmas:Winter solstice Easter:Beginning of Spring (Ostara now for you Wicans). I'm such a lapsed Catholic I can't remember the Holy days for other celestial events.

I had similar thought but for fish tanks. This would be wonderful for a panted tank or for reef tanks.

As long as he doesn't go looking at the nurses breasts! I shudder to think what would happen with a gay surgeon and male nurses!
