Because they studied the "teaching" half of that job title.
I don't know how the American school system (well there's no such thing I guess, how the US school district then) works, but when I was in high school in another land the teachers were "science teachers". The guy who tought me biology at school clearly knew his physics (well his high school level ones anyway) but also taught chemistry and biology.
The article I read said the report wasn't yet released so I'm not quite sure how I was supposed to read it.
I don't do piracy. Or terrorist leaks.
And no the government does not suck. Unlike you I'm from a place of joy and happiness, with free health care and pensions for all (who aren't rich),. reasonably unemployment benefits, and a ripping economy - why the fuck would I think governments suck?
All the reports during their investigation I saw were of the usual suspects blaming each other. If they actually noticed the obvious then I'm happy for them.
It was obvious the second step was going to happen, not to everyone (as I said they managed to pick the people who couldn't see it coming). But to a pretty large number of people. And I specifically mentioned that credit default swaps should be regulated exactly as insurance (in other words to the hilt).
There's no difference between day trading a stock and calling up a bookie in Vegas either.
The full 576 page investigation, out this afternoon, was the product of extensive research and interviews with over seven hundred witnesses. But only six of the 10 commission members, all of them Democrats, have backed the final report.
Yeah, "extensive" research and interviews. Only of the very people who didn't see it coming of course, because the legion of people who predicted it in advance wouldn't have any idea as to the causes.
You can guarantee the answer will be "there was enough regulation" by the gazillion regulations that did exist at the time and we need a gazillion more. Rather than "maybe the Fed settings rates at almost 0% for so long wasn't such a wise idea, oh and maybe when banks are making million dollar loans to people with no income and no assets the regulators and ratings agencies should take a look-see (you know doing their jobs)".
And yes some things that weren't regulated should have been (if it looks like insurance and quacks like insurance then maybe is is insurance even if they call it a credit default swap).
High speed trading is completely irrelevant since this wasn't triggered by a sudden drop in the prices of things involved in high speed trading in the first damn place.
They can just get a new console and it all goes away. Given console life cycles it's not "forever" even for those who wait for the first price drop on the next generation.
What should they do? Slap on the wrist for the people who essentially ruin the whole achievement/score/etc system for everyone else (what's the point in them if everyone else might just be cheating to get them anyway)?
Of course, while I do play both computer games and console games I have never gotten 100% completion via achievements in any of them since I don't see the point in doing something no longer enjoyable for a computer awarded badge. But some people do, and I suspect those people buy a lot of games and Microsoft wants them buying xbox games not ps3 games...
Yes because soldiers just don't go out on their patrol when they want to play video games, why more people don't use that blatant loop hole nobody knows. And those that do don't notice the IED killing their friends because they are too focused on their DS instead of looking for suspicious activity.
1) He's autistic, compulsive and ritualistic behavior are what he does. It would probably be better if he managed to get compulsive about something else, then again is playing xbox really worse than lining up thousands of lego pieces (not building with them, just placing them in straight lines all) or toy cars? And I don't think you get to choose.
2) He's autistic. You know, mentally retarded. You are surprised he doesn't put the same weights on the relative importance of things as you?
You don't think part of the unsuccessfully bit might have been:
Walsh said he had been searching for a job since he graduated a year ago. He narrowed his search to companies that he thought would satisfy his passion for creating and building things and his interest in working with people.
"I focused my search on companies like Disney World and the Lego company," he said.
Because Disney World and the Lego Company don't spring to the top of my list of companies with which to find empoyment based upon a freshly minted aerospace engineering degreee. And if that's not the start, then narrowing the search in response to not finding something also doesn't seem like the logical step.
But then, why do every(?) climatologist claim "extreme phenomena will occur due to CC"? Why do they claim this exactly after some disaster?
They don't. You're just making shit up.
Sure some people do that, just like some people claim the global warming is obviously a joke because it was a colder than average winter.
Obviously they will claim that higher CC will lead to more "extreme phenomena" because the current understanding is that that is what happens when you increase the total heat energy available in the system and that is what higher CC does (by the current understanding). But they don't only claim this exactly after some disaster. Of course the media is more likely to report their constant claiming of that directly after a disaster.
I search for "TIPC Layer 3" and get your post as result 1, something about tips on a 3 layer cake second, and the wikipedia entry for TIPC third.
I search for "scrotwm" and the home page is result 1 and the man page result 2.
If I search for "TPC Layer 3" I get stuff about "closed loop transmit power control" with a "Did you mean: TCP Layer 3" at the top acting as a link to that search. So no changes in the actual search done, but a hint that I might have spelled something wrong.
I'm pretty sure I have seen it automatically make the spelling correction in the past (with a notice that it did so), but the original search was returning 0 results...

Yes, which is why I didn't say "only shoot". But for some reason you seem to have added some words to your interpretation.
Obviously they also shoot people who are a threat to them - not doing so would be pretty damn stupid after all.
It's a bit late by that point, surely the idea is to trigger it before they get into an area where people gather...

Cool. Does that mean I can expect the Fed to set interest rates at 15% tomorrow?

Snipers always shoot people who aren't a threat to the sniper themselves. That's what they are for.

And vandalism is also still a problem, along with shoplifting.
Doesn't mean they have any relevance to the issue at hand.

Right, because he wouldn't have health insurance or anything like that.
In every sense except of the word except for the one in which it defines a game genre anyway.

when he gets a cease and desist order from some submarine patent holder that vaguely mentions something similar.

Why are your streaming movies more important than my bittorrent traffic? Given I pay the same amount as you for the same service.

What do you suggest would be a reasonable starting salary for playing with lego?
Not only that but clearly his tie color is what you get when you mix red, white, and blue. So he was being extra patriotic.
It isn't downhill. You may have noticed that the Moon hasn't fallen into the pacific ocean recently.
So it's low end then?
Given a Quadro 6000 from nvidia will set you back between $3000 and $4000, the a mid-range card must be $1500-$2000, right?
