It sounds like the thing to do is get some solid offers for similar positions elsewhere, then show them to HR. Once HR understands what you -could- be making, they're more likely to offer you a better deal to retain you.
On the other hand (though it sounds unlikely given the circumstances described) if you -can't- get any competing offers to refute HR with, that will give you material to re-evaluate with.
Compared to 1960 test results for IQ, slightly-above-average intelligences from today would be considered genius. IQ shifted almost a full standard deviation upward between 1960 and 1990.
So, do they want them for the ability to conduct unmanned remote assassinations? Or do they think the drones are going to be able to give speeding and parking tickets?
I don't give a [censored] if the Megacorp doesn't like that I purchased a cheap paperback [censored] copy instead of the [censored], glossybacked American copy. [censored] to be them. It's not my responsibility to bendover and kiss its [censored]..... it is not my [censored]. I have every right as a [censored] (not a [censored]) to buy the [censored] copy I can find. It's called [censored] trade.
TFTFY. At least we're not the only ones with blinders on, no?
But even for those few of us who claim to be complete skeptics, belief quietly sneaks in.
Nope. Not a bit of it. In my experience, only believers believe that everyone else must secretly be a believer. The rest of us live a fact-based life.
I think you are thinking of a complete belief in magical thinking, whereas this is talking about the "magical" type of thought that "this car does not like you to use full throttle until its warmed up", or feeling anger at a beer bottle with a top thet "doesn't want to come off". If you stop and reflect of course you know its nonsense, but I bet you sometimes have those thoughts anyway.
I've found that that kind of anthropomorphization is useful as placeholders for other, complex causations. Perhaps the car has a mechanical or design flaw that makes full throttle when it's cold problematic. Perhaps the beer bottle has a manufacturer defect making it extra-hard to open. In either case, anthropomorphizing it can be a useful placeholder for the exact cause of your difficulties.
Also, while item return scams are problematic, I feel that this measure is far too draconian as a solution; they can't help but alienate customers with it.
On the other hand, if nobody buys there, item return scams won't be an issue for them! Problem solved.
The one time I had a story "accepted", the editor rewrote the entire thing...the only part of my submission he kept was the link to the original article.
Based on that standard, I think we need editors for our editors.
And when we burn the fuel that was grown on contaminated land, it turns into contaminated air? Somehow I don't think that's going to be as popular as you expect.
Not that the fuel we burn now doesn't emit contaminants, of course.
With friends like that for the cause of freedom of the internet, who needs enemies? I have to think that they just -increased- the odds of draconian legislation being passed to help contain outbreaks just like this.
What's to stop me from making ten copies of my mind? or fifty? or a thousand?
I don't think the consequences of that kind of 'upload' have been sufficiently explored.
And I'm with the other guy, I have no intention of losing my bio shell until it's completely unavoidable, even if i already have fifty mental clones:p
Surprised nobody's dusted off the old microsoft motto -- Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. They could hit all sorts of birds with this stone...Wordpress, GPL, PHP, just to name some off the top of my head.
Answer: Yes, you can buy them in-game. Also, TFA says it was more like $1300
CCP recently re-introduced the mechanic for moving these items around after a long hiatus of being completely unable to do so; however, there really isn't any reason to (especially not $1200 worth.
Once you purchase the item with real cash, you must then go to someplace which is a) perfectly safe and b) where the item can be sold; you can then 'redeem' the item, causing it to appear in the game world. While moving them between such places, obviously, the items are vulnerable to theft and destruction, but again, there's really no reason to do so.
...To be a true American one must feel proud every single time...America is the first (and so far) only country in the world...Obama isn't truly American....
That pretty much sums it up I think. I am an American and I am NOT proud of everything my country does. The fact is, I'm an American, really and truly; Obama is a real, true American, and the fact that we can disagree with you (or that you are allowed to disagree with us) is one of the the few accomplishments Americans actually can be proud of.
The fact is, one doesn't have to feel an overwhelming sense of stunning self-satisfaction for simply having been born into this great nation; America -isn't- the only nation on earth and never has been, and like it or not you've got a lot more fellow Americans than you think you do.
It's crap like this that makes me sick of my fellow Americans and, in many cases, their smug, self-satisfied pride at being born into such a great heritage.
That said, I think Obama has bigger fish to fry (yes, bigger than another trip to the moon). For one thing, I'd like some form of profitable employment and so would thirty percent of other voting age Americans who are unemployed or working part time at Wal Mart (or whatever the number is this week). I'd like to see America claw its way back to the top of the world powers, a position nobody thinks it still has. And I'd like to see America stop bleeding its jobs to its enemies in China, India, and Mexico.
Once we do that, and we're in a position to afford such frills as a moon trip again, I'm all for it.
The Internet Service Providers providing internet service to the 90 zeus command nodes suddenly (and involuntarily) stopped providing internet service. TFA attributes this to "anonymous community action". Basically, someone got irritated at the bot net and blacked out a fair chunk of Kazakhstan in order to damage it.
It worked on firefox for me, try turning off flash block.
However, it thinks "Who were you before you were who you are" has the same meaning as "Many people before the eyes of many people?"
I think I broke it.

Don't you mean Fuchsia?

Wolfram Alpha disagrees with both of you. It gives the result as 1.1 kg.

We're selectively breeding for an inability to commit murder. Social engineering at its finest!

That reduces one of the incentives for us to always be at war. And the military-industrial complex wouldn't like that.
In Russia, fake votes cast you!

It's not that hard, but somehow it's much less satisfying than burning paper copies. Plus there's the gasoline, and the smell...
If you want a war, stop tearing down posters and talking big.

So you're saying they're more like pimps. At least the work is easier on their backs.
