The Confederate States of America had their own government and preferred independence, too. However, the US never recognized the Confederate States as a separate country.
One thing needs to be said here - The captain was probably qualified to manage and navigate a boat.
Really? I thought "not running aground" was kinda like the most important rule of navigating. Also, part of "managing" a boat includes during a disaster (self-inflicted or not).
So why not just tell employees to leave their Blackberrys at the office? What's the purpose of letting them take them home and then not delivering email to them? If employees want to browse the mobile web after work hours, they can just buy their own smart phone.
On the one hand, this is mostly done for television/movies where it would be confusing to the viewer to have some aliens upside down. On the other hand, it would be nice if they tried to be realistic. But on the gripping hand, the Moties didn't start doing this until they realized that humans were confused and intentionally aligned themselves to our axis even though it was not in their nature to do so...
Maybe everyone will stream in the future, but they were one of the driving forces and they just shut it off. When I search for a movie, Netflix will tell me if they have it available for streaming (at which point, I just into the future). In fact, when it's not available for streaming, they'll tell me similar titles that are available.
Going forward, I'd have to search the streaming site first and then fall back to the DVD site. Given there poor streaming catalog, I'm not going to bother searching the streaming site at all.
Not to mention the fact that they are divorcing their ratings and reviews. That means that if I only rate DVDs, they won't be able to make suggestions for streaming content based on my preferences.
Netflix just burned their bridge to the streaming-only future.
That also means that I won't get recommendations on the streaming site based on DVD ratings. Plus, if their streaming site only lists available titles, I can't even tell that site what I like...
Well, if you RTFA, you'll see that their reply argued that the TSA agent was most certainly acting with intent (as a retaliation for opting-out of the full body scan). They argue that the TSA agent's finger penetrated the traveller four times. Their defense is that this does fit the legal definition of rape and truth is an absolute defense against libel.
Additionally, they argue that even if it were not rape, the first amendment provides protection against hyperbole.
I interviewed once for a trading firm. They were honest at the interview and told me that someone would probably scream at me for something that wasn't my fault. I declined.
I had another friend who did take a job up there (different firm and not a programmer). She was ready to quit and was complaining about how mean they were. I tried to console her and told her she had no way of knowing what it would be like. Then she told me that they actually made her cry during the interview but she took the job anyways.
The amazing thing about bias is our ability to see it in everyone but ourselves. I think it was best summarized by Homer Simpson with "Everyone is stupid except me."
But I'm sure your preference for exclusively making comments enclosed in teletype text tags is perfectly rational.
The bing link just sells you replacement filters, it doesn't tell you how to install them. Throw "manual" into the query and you'll get better results (bing and google).
Bing scored 62 and google 53. Google lost 5 points because it didn't find an attorney named Tom Brady and Bing gained 5 points because they found it. Remove this one query and google actually wins by a point.
But what google does really well is get current results. Search for "attorney tom brady" now and you will find TFA on google, but not on bing.
They did not say that Wikileaks has published 250,000 documents, they said that Wikileaks is publishing 250,000 documents.
Exactly what they said was "...the extraordinary volume of 250,000 classified documents that WikiLeaks is publishing could have been carefully redacted..."
They are using "publishing" in the present tense. That's clear because they said that the documents "could not have been carefully redacted" [emphasis added]. They didn't say wikileaks "won't be able to carefully redact these documents," they said that they could not have done so. Past tense.
They're not worried that the future documents won't be reviewed before being published, they are claiming that there must be a risk to lives because they could not be publishing (present tense) 250,000 documents without having reviewed them first. The entire statement is used to justify that wikileaks is risking lives, which is why it is a lie to say that they "are publishing" 250,000 documents without reviewing them.
A successful presidency is one in which the President is able to implement his policies. To say "Congress wouldn't do what the President wanted" is the same as saying "the President failed to get Congress to do what he wanted." Surely he would have taken credit for securing more funding had Congress approved it.
if {query results can be shown inline} {show inline}
{show links, sort by pagerank}
No where did google ever promise to do anything else. When they say they don't "manually" manipulate results, they mean they don't go in and delete some movie from their database because they don't like it and they don't go in and manually manipulate pagerank.
Why do I bring up bing? You have some crazy theory that "unbiased" results can't include showing inline results that have been fully documented on their own website, and I just want to point out that this is exactly what a search engine should and is expected to do. So sorry, I thought you were complaining about biased results, but I see now that you're just being excessively pedantic about everything google says. From now on, google needs to make sure that every time they talk about pagerank, they need to include a link to their searchtips to explain to retarded people that the inline result is a the first step of the search.

The DoE was the third department that Perry couldn't recall.
Oblig xkcd.
How do you know this isn't a response to customers trying to hoard drives due to the anticipation of a shortage?
Newspapers are privately owned, too.

"Very complicated" = "not ever actually constitutional, but the courts would never be allowed to challenge it so we could do it if we wanted"

I just remember how incredibly furious I was when that dirty bird Paul Sheldon killed off Misery!

> Ford was actually a very good president under considering what he had to work with.
Yeah! I mean, unless you consider the fall of Saigon or "Whip It Now" failures...
I'd say his greatest achievement was picking Stevens for the Supreme Court. But that only worked out so well because Stevens utterly betrayed Ford.
> It means they get paid whether they get the results Microsoft wants or not.
Of course, since they are funded by MS, they only get released if MS feels like it.
You missed one other step. When the results DON'T show IE ahead, you just don't release them...
Here's the algorithm:
