I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them
Barry Goldwater, arch conservative, who understood that religion has no place in politics.
Exactly. The goal should be identifying and eliminating any systemic barriers to, in this case, women entering and succeeding in STEM, not artificially enforcing an arbitrary definition of 'equality' by altering enrollment and hiring practices to enforce a 50/50 split.
Well, for one thing, does your phone have a PCI slot? Is the technology you reference usable, in a practical way, in small technology; that is to say, small enough, inexpensive enough, easy enough to manufacture in bulk, no excessive power requirements, and so on?
Come on, if nothing else, you've seen Captain America, right? Poor Steve Rogers kept getting marked 4F 'Unfit for service' because he didn't meet physical minimums.
Hell, the Air Force will turn you down for some jobs if you're too physically large; if you're a 6 foot 6 weightlifter, you're not fitting in the cockpit of a Hornet.
The fact that it's all expensive doesn't mean there still isn't one that's better than the others for his particular needs.
Besides, what you actually gave him was 'treat your employers like children, and tell them they can't have what they want.'
Frankly, this should be fairly obvious, my children figured all this out pretty quick, because I won't let them stream netflix and youtube on my cellular plan on a road trip for the same reason.
But again, he's not just asking for a list of carriers, or their posted rate plans. He's asking for personal experience. Wikipedia isn't going to tell you 'Carrier A has great coverage in cities, but carrier B has better coverage along interstates' or 'Carrier C has way better technical support' or 'I've worked with carrier D before to come up with special price plans' or 'Carriers A and C have a nice roaming agreement between the two of them' or 'If you're along the border with Canada, make sure you have roaming turned off, especially if you're on ATT.'
Why is someone asking slashdot for solutions to a problem that could be answered with "have you considered switching suppliers?"
Well, as Subby says, they're from 'not in the US,' and they're going to be 'In the US.' He was looking for real-world suggestions on good national carriers with decent coverage and prices. How else would you suggest he go about getting that sort of info?
If the band demands expensive caviar at every meal, and then complains it's breaking their budget -- the solution is either to make a lot more money or to stop eating expensive caviar at every meal.
No, if a band demands expensive caviar at every meal, and asks the catering guy to look into less expensive means of getting cavier; for example, switching suppliers, ordering in bulk, etc etc, simply coming back and saying 'you shouldn't be eating caviar in the first place' is categorically the wrong answer.
Coming back and saying 'having looked at several options, there's really no way to eat this much caviar without spending this much money' may well be appropriate. That's not what most of the suggestions in this thread are saying.
"We need more bandwidth." "Guys, guys, no, you're doing it wrong. You should be reading books, instead!" "You're fired. New guy, we need more bandwidth."
And one of the ways they do that is by first putting a laser from a moving, bouncing vehicle onto said small target. If the laser is strong enough, who needs the actual cannon?
And you should still absolutely verify everything.
When your electric company sends you a bill, you still, or should, check that the usage looks right, that you aren't being overcharged, and so on; you don't, or shouldn't, simply blindly write a cheque for the amount printed on the bill and mail it in.
Similarly, when your mortgage company sends you your regular remittance slip, it's on you to double-check it. When they send you your annual summary, it's on you to check it. And if something looks wrong, it's on them to demonstrate that it's correct.
And similarly, the people they borrowed money from have a duty, when transferring that debt, to make sure that the claims on that debt are free and clear. If I show up at your house with a handwritten note that says 'bob said you sold him your car and he sold it to me,' that's about as meaningful as XYZ collection agency calling up and saying 'you owe us money.'
Or, alternatively, the company recognized that he was a mess due to the death of his daughter, and didn't fire him for the drop in productivity.
In addition, his co-workers also recognized this, and carried his workload while he processed his grief.
I don't see anything in the parent post indicating that either the company or the poster had a problem with any of this; indeed, the poster says that they made a mistake when they left that company.
I could imagine it mishearing 'Ok, did you' as 'OK google' if the guy was shouting, lots of other noise, whatever. It's not beyond the realms of reasonable possibility.
I do not completely agree. Look at those brave girls who run in parks in the morning or evening. They intrinsically carry what other people may want. Shall they also give up easily?
You're trying to claim that property crime and sexual assault are equivalent, which they are not.
Your wallet and watch simply are not worth anybody's life; yours or theirs. Your bodily integrity, on the other hand, is.

Stealing signs is one thing. Having the guys working on taping the game send info to one team, to my mind, crosses the line.
And yet I remember using Dragon NaturallySpeaking on at least a Pentium. There was DragonDictate before that, which ran on DOS.

This is the history of science in a nutshell. The first example that springs immediately to mind is the Penzias-Wilson experiment.
Well, for one thing, does your phone have a PCI slot? Is the technology you reference usable, in a practical way, in small technology; that is to say, small enough, inexpensive enough, easy enough to manufacture in bulk, no excessive power requirements, and so on?
Just as a hypothetical, say you have somebody who is physically female, but genders as male.
Which set of physical fitness guidelines do they fall under?
Yes. There's an entire branch of the US Military dedicated to weeding out people who are physically or mentally unfit to serve.

Most likely because the weather radar needs to run on that specific frequency range in order to actually detect what it needs to detect.

Go look up the guidelines for your jurisdiction on how much average variance there can be between 'labelled concentration' and 'actual concentration.'
No.

Ok, but what's the *causal* relationship, if any?
