Plus would you hire someone who did that? Me neither. Such a person would raise all kinds of red flags about how they would game the system at my company.
Depends on the position. If we are talking engineers probably not but that may be "just the right kind of out of the box thinking" needed for the standard MBA types.
Well this is the type of legislation that Amy Klobuchar proposes so no surprises there. A federal law to handle a small problem that doesn't affect enough people to be more than a rounding error.
have dealt with both companies (in different cities). On a scale of one to ten, I would give Comcast a one. I would give TWC a zero. So a Comcast takeover could be a win for consumers.
You forget that in a merger or reorg if there is a way to screw someone they will get screwed. Expect any good things that they don't have in common to be cut, as well as the bad things from each to spread. Just like in a corporate reorg when benefits get cut when 2 divisions are merged. Everyone goes to the lowest common denominator instead of things getting better.
Well it looks like he was practicing medicine and involved in political activism in Kentucky when the Patriot Act was passed. As far as his fight against no-fly lists my guess is that prefers other fights, so maybe you should convince one of your Senators or your Representatives to fight that battle.
Personally if I were a federal judge (never going to happen but I can dream) if the only evidence that the federal government provided was a statement of "National Security" it would seem that they failed to provide any evidence in their defense and I would have to rule for the plaintiff.
As far as getting Paul and his colleagues in Congress to do something you should prod your elected officials and get others to do so as well. Write them, call their office, send them e-mails, while they will probably just ignore you, both senators Franken and Kolbuchar, as well as Representative Kline seem to never respond to me now, registering your opinion with other like minded individuals makes a statement. Then to really watch them squirm show up at one of their campaign events or local constituent meetings and ask them why they didn't support ending the unconstitutional invasion of privacy or what ever issue you are upset about. Be sure to ask it in a way that paints their non support in the worst possible way but be polite and courteous so you don't come off as a raving nut bag. Also do the same when they have their campaign people out knocking on doors during the election season since they often do pass information up the chain, probably because their campaign finds out there is a well informed individual in the neighborhood who probably talks with the other neighbors. There is also the local OpEd section in the paper but that tends to get filtered but again they print a lot of things so long as they don't sound like the ravings of a nut bag. Make better use of the soap and ballot box and elected officials will start to change.
The late Senator Ted Kennedy was famously put on this list as well.
Well to be fair more in the house and senate should be put on the list as that would probably do more for protecting national security than just about all other possible actions combined.
Joking aside it would be nice if those in government got to experience more of this type of abuse of power as then they might actually reign it in and not write laws that they claim will never be abused but always are. I know I am on some list as every time I fly my bags get searched and I end up getting extra screening. Even assuming that they do extra screening to 50% of people and screen 50% of all checked luggage (both would be highly suspect) that would mean I would have a better chance of winning 2 consecutive Powerball jackpots than being searched or having my luggage checked as much as it has.
Maybe they could transplant some of the excess moose to Minnesota since the ones on the island appear to be thriving while the ones up in the arrowhead are dying off.
The lights were dimmer when you were 16 and the number of people with SUV/trucks who will never need to haul, tow, make use of 4WD, or high clearance was much lower then as well.
I think it is more that that people who buy luxury cars also have money to waste on HID lamps instead of the standard halogen ones that everyone else sells. Personally I prefer the long life bulbs to the regular or brighter ones they are dimmer but do seem to hold up better. As an added bonus they don't piss everyone off and with the very dim red/orange dash illumination my eyes don't have to adjust much when checking what is around me in the mirrors.
I think you might need your eyes checked. We have made some pretty big holes in the earth over the years. On this zoomed out imgage from google maps you can see a SW to NW string of purpleish areas in northern Minnesota (north and east of Duluth ) that are the iron mines in the Mesabe Range. Some have been abandoned while others like the Hull Rust mine are still active today. The Hull rust mine is huge at about 2 miles wide by 3 miles long it is a huge hole in the ground and there are other larger holes in the ground for other mining operations, like the Kennecott copper mine in Utah, the Chuquicamata mine in Chile, the Black Thundar coal mine in Wyoming, or the Mir daimond mine in russia. While operations like these don't move enough material to affect the orbit or anything like that they are all visible from space, especially their tailings ponds which have very interesting colors.
Maybe this is why we have the slashdot beta issue, something came in with the HVAC account at dice. It sucks enough that the HVAC system might be to blame.
Car analogy time: I have gotten rid of vehicles that sucked less than the Slashdot beta. Seriously even that '85 Bronco II where everything was rusty, none of the body panels matched, and that had bad compression on the #5 cylinder sucked less than beta.slashdot.org.
Too bad Slashdot beta won't shatter into dust on command

They can but it requires making what one of my buddies called the "weak mighty bronco". Take a Bronco II and stuff in a Ford 460 with an appropriate manual transmission and some better axles and they they are great.

This is a solution looking for a problem
Well this is the type of legislation that Amy Klobuchar proposes so no surprises there. A federal law to handle a small problem that doesn't affect enough people to be more than a rounding error.
Don't worry that will be coming as well.
heh, I bet none of you nerds have a cobra 40 channel in working condition.
Oh some of us do since we realize that there are plenty of places where more modern communication technology doesn't work.
No I think I have it about right unique good things go away, unique bad things spread so that would produce results similar to what you stated.

What your high school didn't have a relativistic partial accelerator?
Sweet time to learn we are all part of Brahma's dream, or all of the Hindu cosmology.
On my last flight back from overseas I saw Linux booting on the inflight entertainment system of a United Airlines Boeing 777.

No they just need to ban the beta then it would be hailed as a great thing.
