I think the only place in the US to take advantage of this was Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX, and the rules there changed recently. The drinking age was lowered to 18 because young soldiers were getting hammered across the Mexican border (where the drinking age is 18) and getting into trouble. Leadership decided it was better to just let them do it at home and have at least some supervision.
Again, they no longer do this at Fort Bliss, so AFAIK it's no longer done anywhere in the US.
Actually research shows that eating a healthy breakfast is about the best thing you can do for weight loss - it kick starts your metabolism. There was a study done recently...
You're telling this to a guy who thinks pork rinds are a healthy snack, despite LOADS of sodium and moderate-to-high fat. Safe to say he's more concerned with carbohydrates and protein than anything else.
You're right about the math -- I forgot to reconvert. But the point is, over the lifespan of the Euro (roughly ten years of widespread use?) it has only been worth less than the dollar for about a year, leading up to the 2001 recession. That's 6 or 7 years before Expression Web 2 was released, and by then it was something like €0.70 to the dollar. I might be willing to buy your new "monopoly" argument, but I think the exchange rates thing is a stretch.
Almost every platform that supports Firefox will allow you to open more than one instance of it and tile the windows. Should this really be handled by the application?

So, like routing packets on the internet. Finally a thread where a car analogy actually makes sense, and you go and make an Internet analogy.
I suspect your Ranger needs a trip to the shop if your numbers are accurate. My '93 F150 351W gets 17-18mpg on the highway carrying a load (I've never had it on the highway without 500+ pounds in the bed, so I won't guess at unloaded mpg). And for closer comparison, my '85 Ranger with the 2.8L got about 25mpg highway -- had it up until 2001 or so.
The government's fuel economy numbers on those trucks are a couple ticks lower, but mine are based on several years' fuel purchases/odo readings.
[Homosexuality] is a common enough genetic variation that it is considered normal. This is a common enough belief that it is considered true. In fact:
Currently there is a renewed interest in searching for biological etiologies for homosexuality. However, to date there are no replicated scientific studies supporting any specific biological etiology for homosexuality. Similarly, no specific psychosocial or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified, including histories of childhood sexual abuse. Sexual abuse does not appear to be more prevalent in children who grow up to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, than in children who identify as heterosexual. That's from the APA, as cited by the AGLP.
There is still considerable controversy surrounding this issue, despite "common sense" having made up its mind years ago that homosexuality is genetic.
I was being sarcastic, but now that I look at it, I'm surprised I haven't been modded Flamebait yet.
I buy CDs and don't use P2P at all (not true -- I used uTorrent to get a Debian iso last year), but I have to admit the only reason I buy them is because it feels more honest, and that's not much of an incentive for many people.
The labels and software companies make their money from the group of customers who can afford to pay for the product but can't afford to get caught pirating it. For MS Office, these customers are businesses and governments, which is good, because those are the people the software was designed for, and it's no accident that the two groups (purchasers and target market) intersect.
The record labels are finding that their target market doesn't want to buy their products. They've tried raising the penalties for piracy, and they've taken that about as far as it can go. The only other option is to lower prices. To do that and still turn a profit, they will have to radically change the way they do business (less hookers and blow?), and they're obviously not willing to consider that. It's much easier to sell the government on a new trade agreement that protects their current business model (which, if it weren't broken, wouldn't need this kind of trade agreement in the first place).
if content is good enough, the majority of people WILL spend money on it. Why in the world would I pay for something that's available for free? Just because it's higher quality? I mean, if I'm going to steal, I'm stealing the good stuff!
Although the question is about IL rather than TX, this looks to be pretty standard procedure. (I work at a university in yet another state.) Old or surplus equipment is given back to property control, where it becomes available to any other department for some period of time, then the state must take bids on it.
There's nothing particularly wasteful about this... I run through there for salvage parts every once in a while, and there is basically nothing of value left once it's time to dispose of it.
But there is no official NASA business in Mississippi. I'm not sure what you mean by that, since GP specifically mentions the Stennis Space Center, which is very much in Mississippi and is definitely used by NASA last I checked. Explain?
If Joe Perv just gets his kicks from watching women raped and tortured but is otherwise a fine upstanding citizen, then a quick background scan would show him to be relatively safe (as safe as any other fine upstanding citizen) and no further monitoring is necessary. However, if Jim Proto-Raper who had a troubled childhood and a history of torturing animals is also jerking it to torture porn, wouldn't it be useful to keep an eye on him
I don't understand the distinction. If you consider Joe's "jerking it to torture porn" to be the behavior of a "fine upstanding citizen" so long as he hasn't also tortured animals, aren't you just advocating surveillance of anyone who has tortured animals in the past, regardless of whether they like violent porn?
This object is in an orbit which resonates with our own orbit. It is certain to continue close approaches with Earth until either (1) it hits us or (2) is thrown into a totally different orbit, most likely as a result of a very close approach.
Option (3) involves Bruce Willis and is considered by NASA to be a last resort.
Straying OT here, but those studies tend to be somewhat skewed, and not necessarily by researcher bias. In most places, if one driver involved in a collision is found to be intoxicated, he is considered to have caused the accident. I also suspect the linked site is (unintentionally) misrepresenting figures from a report that indicated correlation, not causation.
I have never understood why MADD and the like insist on doing this kind of thing. Surely the undistorted statistics are scary enough.
...very few people had actually come across counterfeit chips, and the financial repercussions were limited. This shifts the focus to security, which does raise different questions....
Shifting the focus to a hot-button issue is probably meant to create a market where none previously existed.
A lot of Army bases have on-site housing for soldiers and their families. Those guards are used to passing huge numbers of civilians through the gates day and night. Just getting through the gate doesn't mean you suddenly have access to nukes or anything. You have access to a middle class subdivision with a department store and a grocery store, and all the daddies work for the same "company." Sort of like the Globex Corporation. It's not as simple as "NO CAMO -- ACCESS DENIED." It's important to understand that -- as you point out -- access to one part of the base doesn't mean access to the entire base.
TFA is pretty misleading (though not as bad as the summary). This "mind-reading" would apparently take place at the design stage. Ars's coverage is a little more level-headed.

That would have been around 8 years ago, and the dollar has never been worth that much against the Euro. I think it peaked below $1.25.
Oops... I meant €1.25.

I think that was Michael Knight.

both of us can't stand the little dipshits that are finishing college as interns and what not, because their work avoidance skills are amazing.
Slashdot may not be the best place to make that point.
