More sensationalist bullshit. Storm surge is caused by low pressure and primarily wind speed. Hurricane categories are measures of windspeed, and are directly related to storm surge as well.
No matter how "large" this hurricane is, it isn't pushing much air or creating a large storm surge. The biggest worry is that it will rain a lot because it isn't moving terribly fast, but coastal areas are typically good at handling rain, and most all of these areas have been hit by far worse storms than this.
This hurricane is going to be a spit and nothing more. The media ran out of Libya and earthquake to hype, so they're moving on to the next "big" thing, this hurricane.
Its really pathetic. I heard on the radio this morning that this Cat 2 storm is the "storm of a generation" or some bullshit. My generation has seen 3 Cat 5 hurricanes make directly landfall over my house, and more Cat 2's and 3's than I care to remember. Bunch. Of. Bullshit.
Its not so simple though, tthere are an additional 3000 teaching assistents (college kids, usually future teachers), which only leaves around 4000 non classroom personell. Given that there are 140 schools (each with their own medical staff, treasurers, principals/APs/secretaries to handle administration, janitorial staff, food prep (lunch ladies), bus drivers, and security, its a wonder that they get by on less than 30 people overhead per school when there are also county/state staff to manage budget allocation and performance metrics.
Those are critical functions that the schools generally cannot operate without. Even with all those employees and staff, teachers are still bottom of the food chain if you want students to not be sick, dirty, hungry, or lacking basic classroom materials.
I found the opposite to be true in classes. No matter what the class or who the professor, my attention span is never above 45 mins. Tuesday/Thursday classes and only Monday classes ended up requiring more learning on my own because I learned less in the classes.
If it were true that the information was the same, and it could have been trivially derived from other information on the computer, then there would be no need for the persistent cookie. That information could just be accessed when needed, and a non-persistent cookie could be issued or mapped to that user (that is how relational databases work after all, object with lots of keys in a map).
There is a good reason for that though, a lot of defense spending goes to defense contractors, who employ a whole 'lotta people (LMC has downsized from 150K to 120K employees from budget cuts, and its just one company).
The administration already doesn't want to look like a job killer, and defense spending is definitely not the best area to do that.
And due to US secrecy laws/export control, contractors don't have the option of selling their technology to the highest bidder most of the time. Instead they have the option of selling to the U.S. or not selling it at all... which means defense cuts are almost 1:1 with job loses for PhD's, engineers, scientists, and others of our nation's brightest.
That being said, backing out of the War would be a good move towards austerity in my opinion, and wouldn't have the same economic impact.
Really? Because I spent a significant portion of the game sleeping with corpses that didn't make me sick, and visiting power stations that were working and well maintainted by cockroaches and mole rats.
I'm not, some of the remarks apply to most, some apply to few. The West is a broad term and generalizations about it will always have exceptions. That being said, the U.S. *is* leader of team West, and those remarks are benchmarked to be at least true for them.
There is a difference between rights and morality. Rights are what a body agrees to grant you or protect you from being violated against. Morality is what logically can be proven right or wrong. In our society, most things that are immoral are protected from us as rights. Without our government, the morals still remain, but we lose our rights to them as there are no longer any protections.
Western pussies? Westerners are some of the most violent people on earth. They are fortunate enough to have outlets through hunting and the military or otherwise large prisons to contain the culture of hostility. Sure, there are more dangerous places, but there's no place I'd rather not see an anarchy than countries with more guns than people.
Not really, there's a difference in cutting spending in a company (some of which is reinvestment, causes company death) and republicans cutting spending on programs that don't pay for themselves while our debt is almost as high as our GDP and is still rising due to increasingly expensive programs and compounding intrest on debt.
Companies do it to improve their bottom line and sometimes go too far. Republicans do it because we're spending unsustainably and killing the economy in the process due to defering our expenses without planning to pay anything back.
I'm not a republican, but I do understand economics and finances. There is validity to what they are posturing for right now. What they are doing wrong is posturing so hard as to make fools of themselves. If our economy is hit because of skyrocketing interest rates after defaulting on our debt, that will be the fault of decades of unsustainable spending and debt, not the republicans. Its only the fault of republicans that we have to deal with it now instead of a decade from now.
Do you have any evidence of the claim that most scientists are after only truth? Last time I checked, many scientists are funded by universities or political think-tanks, where they are driven by the "produce or die" syndrome that affects most of academia. If they don't produce something radical or paradigm changing in their field at a university, or results that align with the viewpoint of the organization providing funding at a think-tank, then they risk losing their funding and cushy 150-500k$ salaries. That is plenty of incentive to make claims that meet political or ideological goals rather than align truthfully with the results.
Video conferencing doesn't use much data to begin with. Talking head model conferencing uses 16kbps, and full video uses 128-384kbps. Most home and business lines can easily manage that up and down.
The cynicism has everything to do with the inability to distinguish real advances from marketing hype and vaporware claims that make up just as many articles. That is the fault of poor quality moderating on Slashdot's part, not the community.
You're comparing Oxford vs Yale and Harvard. Regardless of which top computing company has the toughest hiring requirements, none of them are easy enough to allow the average bumbling idiot in (those that would make the mistakes described in the post you are referring to).
Well, current could be "used up" as it goes through the circuit... Given that the playdough has a large surface area to the table (making the table an imperfect ground), it would probably be making a ladder circuit between the diodes, causing partial shorts which would explain the fading brightness of the LED's down the chain.
Where did you hear that? Mandarin might have the most native speakers, but English is still estimated to be the most common language in the world. That is, most people that natively speak other languages know English as a secondary. That isn't true for Mandarin and will likely never be unless China reverses its population control policies and doubles in population size.

The other side of that question: How many more jobs will be created in response to increased demand for daycare/babysitting services?

India and Pakistan are different countries, enemies, and have nothing shared between except animosity.

Well... CPUs are basically an ALU with lots of problem specific dedicated hardware. Removing the GPU doesn't solve that paradigm.

That has no relation at all to what the person you are replying to says.
Any monkey understands compound growth and that stocks tend to grow faster than bank accounts. Nothing to do with how stocks are valued.
It sounds to me like you're having to reinvent the wheel every time you change to a new tool because your WYSIWYG'er is obsolete.
Do it once and do it right, maybe you will have more time with the kids than you would dickering around with more flashy proprietary tools.
Or that you have little grasp on the value of unskilled labor.
If it isn't a computer, then there isn't a conflict. Trademarks are only valid in a market area, not in a broad sense.
They were designed 2+ years before AMD acquired ATI. Times change, so does business.
