I don't know how well the pay was at this company for their software people but my experience has been the offers from medical device companies for software people has been on the very low end, so I would imagine this would be the case here as well. The pay for MEs and EEs is probably much better and more inline with the norm but then I may just be making shit up as am not a ME or EE.
So? Go out to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI and you can see the crazies on their motorcycles at similar distances as well as other vehicles depending on the event (indy, various SCCA events. GT events, etc).
In the cases where I would have though traction control would have been most useful (hill start with a manual on hard packed snow) it seems to be pretty damn worthless. I have found it to be better just to switch it off temporarily, spin the rear wheels and just grind down to the pavement. That is not to say in more normal cases it isn't useful when you have an unexpected loss of traction or wet roads but it seems to be pretty worthless on ice or hard packed snow.
when was the list time you were involved in negotiation of an "agreement between citizens and government"?
About 6 months ago. I was presented a number of choices to select from as was the rest of the voting population. Unfortunately most of the choices that were made previously made were made again and while most didn't not make a choice the vast majority of those who did made a different choice than I did.
And if the horse is part of the null set, I can say with confidence that it is also a pony and pink. Or at least that is what I was lead to believe by one of my math professors in college.
Well you would think that there would be a market for non lab created but naturally farmed spaghetti raised and harvested in the traditional way on family farms. If there wasn't a market for that stuff why does Whole Foods exist?
Which is why you never grant permission for a search. Granted that just pisses them off more and if they want to search your vehicle they will do so anyway.
If I sound bitter it is because it did happen to me. Pulled over for driving a rolling pile of crap after work on my way home, accused of doing a burn out (car was a physically incapable of doing so), then accused of being drunk, refused letting them search my car, had a K9 unit brought in that "alerted" on drugs, they searched my car anyway and found nothing (there was nothing to find).
What we have today is a severe problem with our education system as a whole. Classical education has been completely dumped, and people are learning how to believe everything they are told by a person in authority. The fix is to revert to the classical system of education, but with the people holding all the power in Government it won't happen. Remember, they want workers.. not thinkers.. STEM requires the latter, not the former.
You would have loved my high school Humanities and AP European history teacher. The funny thing was the people would unwitting sign up for his classes because he heard that he didn't assign homework but didn't realize that was was meant is that there wasn't worksheets, problems, or papers due, and he still expected you to do the assigned reading. For the Humanities class you got 2 books, one was the first edition of the Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces (might have been World Literature) that had no pictures in it and the other was a book that basically only contained pictures of art and architecture with descriptions of it (who made it, when it was made, and who or what the subject was). Class time didn't cover anything in either of the books unless it was a major piece and then it was to put that piece in historical and cultural context, but was mostly slides, and other relevant information about the period that was being studied. There were 3 tests given and everything that should have been read, looked at, or discussed in class up to that point was fair game. The tests were also essay tests and for a couple of questions there were pictures that would need to be discussed that were put up on the projectors. Nothing like reading ~4,000 years of western literature and seeing ~30,000 of western art and architecture and having it all put into context over the course of a school year. The European History course wasn't much different in that you were expected to read your provided text book outside of class and different things were discussed in class.
After surviving those classes in high school most of my college classes were a cake walk. For example college art appreciation where all that was necessary for the test was to on a multiple choice test pick the artist who created each work was simple and sadly I regretted purchasing the book for the class because I didn't need it and already had a better art book. My literature class was a joke because it was taught at a typical high school level but with more reading
Not having a diplomatic passport, this is the first I have heard of them but I suppose I have always figured they existed, but having been an official guest of a foreign country to perform work for their government I would guess you are correct. I got to go through the diplomat lines at the airport and passport control which is a welcome change from passport control, and TSA in my home country of the US. I just walked up to passport control, handed them my passport, and it got stamped and was let through. I didn't have to go through customs. On my way back out the security line was just put my stuff on the conveyor and get wanded. They also knew I was coming, when I was coming, and had been through an extremely through background check beforehand so it wasn't like they didn't know who I was.
It is worse for me and some other poor bastard who is over in the UK at the same company. We have the same first and last name, but he appears in our company's address book (~500,000 people) just before me. I have had some managers send "me" an e-mail asking for a status that I never get and then after several days and many progressively more angry e-mails stop by and demand why I am ignoring them. The first time the manager didn't believe me that I had never received any e-mails from them until I send them one with my proper address in it and they see that they were sending to the other poor bastard. If I ever go to the UK I will probably see about meeting this guy just so I can finally meet the guy who gets my e-mail.
While not exactly a narcotics units in Minnesota the Meto Gang Task Force was shutdown for rampant corruption. The case mentioned in the the MPR article is just one of many examples that came out when the story broke so things like this do happen.
Even if I'm not into your imaginary buddy up on the cloud you may still stuff his idiocy down my throat.
Given that the Christian god is often portrayed as being male does this mean that you shoving his stuff down my through mean the christian god is ok with homosexual acts?
With laws like these I find the best approach is to abstract them and ask the simple question of: should it be legal for to people to be complete raging assholes to each other while not committing any other offense against each other? To this question I would have to answer yes so supporting a law like the Indiana one makes sense as all it seems to be doing is codifying that being an asshole is not a crime. This same logic also works well in you example of insulting Muslims in an Islamic country, and in this example we find that Islamic countries have made being an asshole illegal.
In the case mentioned in the summary with Texas we would need to modify our question and have it be: Should the state be able to be a raging asshole to a citizen of that state? As this best represents that situation in general. Here though I would find that my answer should be a definitive NO since we are dealing with the state which shouldn't be an asshole to its citizenry. In addition to that the Texas case seem to be promoting a specific set of religious values over another, especially considering that a fairly major branch of Christianity just voted to allow it.
That said there are still laws and constitutional amendments dealing with similar discrimination issues applying to other groups. If people were being honest in this debate they would instead seek to make LGBT individuals another protected class under existing law. This I feel is the correct debate to have and given that they are born that way, much like being born black, Romanian, Jewish, etc. it seems like they should be included.
it's an inaccurate, hysterical, and unintelligent smear
Why? It seems that Obama has sought to expand the power of the state, although to be fair so did Bush. The only question is who is the bigger statist and while Obama has expanded government power less than Bush did, he did none the less still expand it beyond the levels of Bush.
tens of thousands of tons of ore has to be crushed and refined with carbon based energy sources.
Having been though an ore processing plan (iron not uranium) I don't think the ball mills and other machines in the plant really care where the electricity comes from. Granted the giant haul trucks and shovels run on diesel but one could replace the haul trucks with conveyors with electric motors and the big shovels are all electrical and just tethered to a somewhat mobile generator
Why use secrete service agents when instead it could be a dual use facility for the training of the US Olympic track and field team. They excel at running and jumping so if it puts things beyond their abilities then it would be well beyond the abilities of any ordinary fence jumper.
There should be but with these systems that are home rolled who knows. As far as the password truncation the last thing I dealt with that had that problem was a stupid router from the ISP I had about 15 years ago. I get the feeling that having a properly designed system costs money and requires competent and thus expensive people to design and implement so in the race to the bottom good security seems to be the first thing cut.

Just reclassify them as design issues and then things will be OK.

If the citizen disagrees with this, he can resign his citizenship
I hear this is getting harder to do in the US.
Well not on April fools they did have a sense of humor at one point. Just remember the bombing begins in 5 minutes.
