the decline in manual transmission driving has really diminished people's driving abilities... It's another thing to not consider putting the car in neutral when something like this is encountered. Probably 95% of my driving (18 years worth) has been with a stickshift. If that happened in a stick, I would immediately push in the clutch, as a matter of instinct. If I was driving an automatic, though, I doubt I would think of shifting to neutral in time.
No, it is perfectly legal to go after stockholders once a certain level of illegal activity occurs. This is referred to as "piercing the corporate veil". No, "piercing the corporate veil" means going after the people in a corporation who made the decisions. Not stockholders.
Not skill, experience, recommendations, or flight time. 100% seniority. And if you ever are laid off and change airlines, you start over at the bottom of the paygrade. Yes, unions are like that.
You can't *hold* ground with robots or avatars. You can't win hearts and minds. You can't accomplish significant political objectives. I have to think if there is no one local willing to do the ground work in their own country, while we provide support, we have no business being there.
I don't know about SNL, but Chris Cornell sounds pretty similar live and on recording. David Draimen from Disturbed does, too. I've seen live footage of The Black Eyed Peas, and they seem to do pretty well.
I hate thin women (too much boring conversation about dieting plus they never smile) It sounds like you're talking about models, not thin women in general.
There are surprisingly few professional notebook lines with a proper dock available. Do you really need one anymore? If you have built-in Bluetooth, all you need to plug in is power and a monitor (keyboard and mouse will work just by being nearby), and you get dual-screen from the laptop.
Why is it that Dell's professional laptops all only have VGA for video output? I understand that the HDMI port on my Dell Studio isn't appropriate for business, but shouldn't it be DVI?
Of course, most of the Dell LCD monitors here at my office connect with VGA (only), too, which makes no sense.
Right, when I changed school districts for third grade, that was the case for me, too. Michigan now has a state law, though, that school may not start before Labor Day, so my son is on roughly the schedule that I had for first and second grade. I think his last day this year will be June 12.
Standardized tests are blatantly anti-education. They measure the ability and motivation of a kid to memorize answers from other days, and fill in those answers on one day out of 180. It depends a lot on the test. The MEAP and Iowa (in Michigan?!?!) tests I took were completely brain-dead, but the AP tests were perfectly respectable.
When I was a kid (a long, long time ago) school started in late September and ended in early May. How old are you? When I was in first grade in 1981-1982, the school year was basically the same as my son's (roughly Labor Day to Flag Day), now. The different district I was starting with third was a week or two earlier on both ends.
Recently she kept a student who was mis-behaving after class at lunch time for 5 minutes to talk with her about her behaviour. Turned out that Mom was picking her up that day. Mom storms in gets the kid, storms out. Later makes a complaint to the principal that the school had no right to keep her child from lunch. While the teachers do need to be able to apply discipline, if they have the same 20 minute lunch my son's school does, I'd be inclined to agree.
That $6,000 average includes a bunch of looted houses being sold for a few hundred dollars in back taxes. People with houses that are worth more are not selling nearly as often, unless they're moving out of the city.

All right, fine, he can't quit. He can still do it outside, or at least out a window.
she wanted to install Windows on it. So she had to go buy a copy. At least with desktops, you can usually buy a new hard drive and an OEM copy of Windows for about the same price as a stand-alone copy of Windows.

Yeah because walking around Buffalo in January would be so much better! I live in Detroit, which is only a little warmer in the winter, and yes, it is much better. You have to bundle up, but it's doable. Walk very far to work in Tucson (Phoenix is just too ugly to contemplate, sorry) in August, and you're going to arrive a sweaty mess.
Because Windows users always maximize their apps. Nobody knows why. 1. Because you don't need the visual clutter of the things you aren't working on behind the things you are. 2. It's a nuisance to worry about what you might accidentally click of your window doesn't go all the way to the border.
Touch-typing doesn't just teach "how to type fast and accurately", it also teaches "how to type with minimum strain on your hands/wrists". I really doubt it. The official home position leads to way too much reaching with your fingers. Even moving each hand outwards a key would be a big help, but moving your hands around a bit is fundamentally going to have give you less RSI trouble than leaving all the motion to your fingers.
Not to mention, a woman with perky B's will still have perky B's 10 years from now. Unless she goes from a low B to a high C for a year or two when she has a kid, and then goes back down. That does bad things.
Back when I was a computer engineering major, I took x86 assembler from the EE department the same semester I took Sparc assembler from the CS department. That was a bit disorienting.
The last actual advertisement I paid attention to AT ALL was last week (well, actually this morning - the girl on the billboard was f*cking hott. You know, this is the future. As long as most DVRs make you at least skim the commercials, the best way for ads to get seen is for them to be something you want to watch, themselves. The easiest way is skin, of course, probably followed by food close-ups. The harder way is to develop a reputation for being entertaining, so you'll stop fast-forwarding when you see the logo; for instance, I'll usually go back to regular speed for a Geico commercial (I know very well they would triple my car insurance, but at least I checked).
Personally, I think this is a good thing. We might even get to a point where the stations can charge advertisers more based on how many people start fast-forwarding and miss the later commercials -- it would be a penalty for making an annoying commercial.

So don't have kids, and stick to renting so you can move within a few months after every job change.
I know I'm biased, but I have to think the stress of parenting is worth it for my son, but wouldn't be for most other kids.
