Back in the 70's a teen could drive 100 mph in a 25 mph zone, while simultaneously smoking a joint, snorting a line of coke off the dashboard, fingering his squealing girlfriend and not spill a drop from the glass filled with Jim Beam held in his one hand on the steering wheel.
So obviously, texting has distracted them from learning these important core driving skills, and is to blame.
Actually, you can't ban every foolish activity while driving, because fools are so ingenious, and will always find a foolish way to distract themselves while driving.
Greece is out of the Euro. Whenever so many politicians say, "We would like for Greece to stay in the Euro, but . . . ", they are really just wiggling around the truth a bit. It is similar when they say they all want peace, when the tanks are already rolling.
The whole matter is going to be rather unpleasant for all parties involved. And even for those not involved. The EU taxpayers (especially in France and Germany) will lose billions. The Greeks will need to readjust their wages to be internationally competitive again. In other words, right now they cost way more than they are worth. See "The Economist" for details on this: www.economist.com .
So leaving the Euro, will also mean repudiating international debts to fund the new Drachma. And nationalizing industries, including foreign owned ones. This has all been threaten by Alexis Tsipras, leader of the radical left Syriza party, who will probably end up leading Greece after the elections next month. The Greeks can't bear the austerity measures any more. They want the Euro, but they can't afford the cost of staying in. Unfortunately for the Greeks, they don't realize that things will be worse with the Drachma, because the government will have no money to pay them. Since the foreign banks won't lend them any more money, they will just have to print more, causing inflation, and making the currency worthless on the international market.
So what will they care about claims of piracy? Go ahead and try to collect any money from them. The simply will not be able to pay.
This is all not going to sit well with the rest of the EU. The repudiation of debts will lead to private law suits, and Greece will find itself afoul of EU laws. So a bigger danger, is if they will be able to stay in the EU itself any longer.
So this legal issue is just like "fireflies before the storm," when compared what is to come.
I have lived in the US for thirteen years now, and had no idea that "first base" meant kissing.
So yes, using baseball metaphors might not be a good idea..
No, you need to finally go out on a date.
But don't worry. Thirteen years old is about normal for most kids.
How small can you make a nuclear weapon critter anyway? Could individual soldiers carry something like a personal nuclear weapon? And would that make sense in a combat situation?
Of course, what terrorist folks would like to do with these is another matter.
Have any micro nukes been produced? Or would we even know if they had been?
Because that what Google searches always turn up for me. I still don't understand that weird kink involving WebSphere WSRP (what I goggled for), a vat of cottage cheese and alligator clamps.
The apparent convergence towards a unique network shape in the temporal limit suggests the existence of dominant, universal mechanisms governing the evolution of these structures.
However, if this Intelligent Design Being is the inspiring influence of subways that I have ridden on, He is dirty, stinks of piss, swallows ticket money, but barfs up no ticket, and it tattooed from head to foot in graffiti.
They couldn't even get a basis protocol for an Internet running. How will the same folks be able to manage an Internet?
First agenda item, due 2037: "Defining the method and process for the selection of committee oversight executive members, for the selection of sub-committee oversight members, for the definition of a framework of work the work defining co-interdependent entities of interested parties for the formations governing orthogonal autonomous regulating non-spatial, non temporal beings."
Not valid on Tuesdays.
Public: "Um, so how does this new UN-governed Internet work . . . ?"
UN: "We are currently implementing plans to size the effort."
If the UN tries to regulate the Internet, it will be either,
Be ignored, because they never get around to actually doing anything anyway, because of squabbling
Be circumvented, because everyone will just route around UN Blue Helmet zones.
"Police were suspicious, as the note from the doctor was written in red crayon, on a page torn out of a comic book, and contained numerous spelling and grammatical errors. The suspect was also carrying similar notes, allegedly from his mother, claiming that the dog ate his homework, and the cat ate his gym suit."
Well, he had better avoid sex with his wife . . . otherwise they might become the proud parents of a healthy baby Incredible Hulk.
I find this whole situation quite bizarre: "Hey, I just chugged a bottle of water, spiked with polonium! I'm radioactive! But I have a note from my doctor!"
You did not mention if you have a higher education degree in anything else. This makes a big difference. If you have a university degree in a science field, I would not bother. I see plenty of successful IT folks who are retreads with physics, chemistry or other engineering degrees. If you have none at all, or something in arts or social science, I would consider getting a degree.
I keep my valuable currency of Beanie Babies and Pez Dispensers under my mattress. And, boy, do I sleep terrible.
That's what economists are talking about when they mention "hard" and "soft" currencies. It is measured by how it feels when you stuff it under your mattress:
Gold, canned food, ammunition: hard.
Cash, stock certificates, anything else printed on paper: soft.
Bitcoins: "Stop squeezing the Charmen, Mr. Whipple!"
Well, the US has already outsourced manned space flight to Russia, so why not?
And if workers are cheaper in India and China, maybe soldiers are, too? We've already seen this done in Afghanistan and Iraq with private security contractors. The UK has done this for a long time with their Ghurkas.
Outsource defense, as well. How do you say Blackwater in Chinese and Hindi?
This is step one in starting a new business these days. Before you have an office, before you have a name, before you have a logo, before you have a business plan . . . you sue somebody.
It's like boxing. You need to come out of the corner swinging, or you will get sucker punched while trying to tap gloves. You need an "Offensive Patent Strategy" these days to survive.
Or, will "those who were responsible for the sacking, have been sacked" . ..?
Back in the early 90's, when IBM nearly cratered, then CEO John Akers hatched a plan to break up the company, because he didn't know else what to do.
Akers got the boot, Lou Gerstner came in, and reversed the break up.
IBM is undergoing an ambitious plan for growth up to 2015, and these cutbacks are part of the plan. We'll know in 2015, if it worked. If it doesn't. Well, those planners will be getting the 70% / 60% offers.

Yes, the Chinese work force who built the solar panels is quite renewable.
Because that what Google searches always turn up for me. I still don't understand that weird kink involving WebSphere WSRP (what I goggled for), a vat of cottage cheese and alligator clamps.
That ought to really impress any prospective employers.

surely there must be something newer coming out of their R&D labs.
Yes, they have something newer that they will release with GNU Hurd, when it comes out . . .
Back when it was easy to tell who were the good guys and who were the bad guys.
Well, if you run out of one set of bad guys, you need to find or create a new set, right?
. . . mine can disperse the crowd dispersers, because it goes up to 11.
Technological reach is never the problem. Political reach is.
Most excellent Godwin, dude. Actually, we don't mention it, because it's the one word that the "Knight who say Ni!" cannot bear to hear.
Anybody who isn't rich should be grateful for a job mopping floors ...
No, they should get a higher education first . . . then they can mop floors, drive taxis, wait tables, be outsourced, etc.
And license fees?
Well, the US has already outsourced manned space flight to Russia, so why not?
And if workers are cheaper in India and China, maybe soldiers are, too? We've already seen this done in Afghanistan and Iraq with private security contractors. The UK has done this for a long time with their Ghurkas.

. . . sounds about right to me.
Especially, since the architectural firm is Danish. Hash sometimes does that to you.
That never would have happened to a rich white guy
If he was a rich white guy, he wouldn't be protesting against the government, he would be buying politicians, instead.
And he would pay someone else to beat his wife for him.

Well, at least they have an unlimited supply of gas, then.
