The problem is, people disagree about what is and isn't ethical. I have no ethical problems at all with the fact that my wife and I are dating another couple; there's no way in hell I'm going to tell my in-laws about it, though. Meanwhile, there were two Palin babies talked about in the last election, and I think it was morally wrong not to have aborted either one.
both Kerry and Jeff get sloppy when they play fast I've seen Yngwie Malmsteen in concert twice (G3, and his latest tour, with Tim Owens singing). Both times, there were a couple of places where it was clear that, despite playing oodles of notes, he had no idea where in the song he was.
Advanced civilizations are products of higher cognitive performance which itself is a product of a high carb diet due to agriculture. Advanced civilizations are products of people having time to specialize in what they're good at, which is a product of agriculture.
is it possible to do identity theft with only the SSN alone SSN and name, yes. It's basically being used as both an ID and a password, when it's really just an ID. I think trying to keep it secret is addressing the problems from the wrong side, but to stop using it for authentication is not something an individual can do.
Statistically speaking, people with no credit later in life (everyone has no credit early in life) are a credit risk. *Being* early in life is considered a credit risk itself, with the way the credit scores figure in age of accounts. Young people are making less in the first place, and have to pay more on both credit and car insurance (which might double-dip by counting credit) simply for being young.
My only guess is that somebody with the same name couldn't be tracked down so they just matched the name in a database, found an address, and then blasted out a bill hoping I'd pay. They do fuzzy matches based on those, too. We've gotten bills for someone a few miles away for someone with my wife's first name and a last name that sounds sorta like mine.
A couple weeks ago we got an order to pay $25k in back child support from a county Friend of the Court in the next state over for someone with my wife's first name and my last name. I asked her if she took a little trip without telling me 12 years ago and got some poor guy knocked up.
Progressive death metal seems to be about the closest fit for Opeth, but that doesn't really fit stuff like the Damnation album and similar one-off songs on other albums. On the newest album, "Burden" sounds almost like a Deep Purple song.
And even the heavy stuff has a strong blues element to it.
Swedish heavy metal: Lots of excellent black metal, power metal, symphonic metal, death metal and Opeth (whatever they fall in) U.S. heavy metal: Thrash and some of everything else, for about the same total good quality output. But we have 30 times the population.
Now, Finland has at least as much good heavy metal production as Sweden (no Opeth, but Sonata Arctica is almost as good), and they have a little more than half Sweden's population.
and less stress overall Unless your neighbors disapprove of your lifestyle. I love nature, and enjoy being in rural areas when there's no one around, but I'm neither Christian nor monogamous. I'm afraid the rural life is not for me.
Besides, my wife grew up in Frankfurt and gets nothing out of nature, so if I moved to the country, she wouldn't come with me.
Not to mention the fruit fly, which has a scoop-shaped penis. Its penis scoops sperm out of the female fly, so he can replace it with his own, thus increasing the odds that the babies will be his. Forget the fruit fly. That's why the human penis has the shape it does.
For example, nicotine (as a stimulant) is often used by those with ADHD to self-medicate. Caffeine, too. My son isn't bad enough to need Ritalin or Adderal, but we'll frequently give him a Mountain Dew (8oz can) while he does his homework.
I lean more toward mocha at work, but walking a mile or two also does wonders for ADD symptoms the next day.
Friends of ours named their boat "Prufrock". I googled it. She just started reciting the poem from memory. Being that much a fan of T.S. Elliot might just be a dealbreaker for me.
When I went to the community college, they didn't have a programming degree. Pre-engineering probably would have been suitable, but you'd want to go on to a B.S. (or at least a few more classes) from there.
Of course, I got lucky and was hired as a "programmer trainee" at a company where my mother knew a couple of the founders, and stayed there for ten years. I'm not really sure how people with no connections typically get the first two or three years of programming experience in.
if there is a slot he needs to fill - today - the cert gives you an edge. It depends on the company. When we've done interviews, we tend to count it as a strike against someone if they consider a certification worth listing on their resume.
they make the interface ridiculously un-intuitive for anybody who hasn't been using a Word-like word processor for the last 10 years. Even if you have been using Word for the last ten years, it's still unintuitive. The big problem I have with Word is that it still works the same way as WordPerfect, with begin and end tags to trigger formatting, but it doesn't let you see them.
The ribbon is a step back, too (and I've been using it for two years now), but I never really cared that I couldn't find the newer features. I don't think I actually use anything that wasn't in Word 95. Beyond that, I only care about programmability, and that's been pretty stagnant.
You mean those 5-foot-1 suits of armor at the museum were worn by They were worn by people from a few hundred years ago, who were eating diets of whatever two or three crops were easiest to grow in large amounts. Cave people had much better diets and weren't really much (any?) shorter than modern people. If I'm remembering Guns, Germs and Steel properly, anyway.
Poor penmanship makes it unreadable. I assure you, if you look at cursive written by somebody that is currently 60+, their cursive is most likely very readable. My dad is 63, and normally prints. However, when I have seen his cursive writing, I can only tell it isn't mine by looking at what it's about. I think both of our cursive is quite legible, but it's also ugly as sin (sloth -- nothing as attractive as lust or envy).
Until recently NATO didn't even try to develop passive air to air missiles. What are you talking about? We've been using the Sidewinder since the 1950's, and it has a passive infrared seeker.

I just barely remember those things, and I'm 33. I wasn't buying a significant fraction of my music on CD until about 1995, anyway.

Nope, not much of a deterrent, sorry.
