Actually, Walmart cashiers do get access to group health insurance. I have another relative that works as one. There are some criteria that have to be met though. (IIRC must work for the company longer than 6 months, and work more than 30 hours per week)
Right, which is why they simply won't LET you work any more than 29 hours per week if they don't want to have to pay for your health insurance. Isn't that a well-known fact? They simply won't schedule you the hours. You can't complain much either - enough of that and you're a troublemaker; they'll find a reason to get rid of you.
Yeah, because it never occurred to anybody that the Windows Task Scheduler could be used to schedule checks for updates for computers that never get rebooted...
I'd go further. It's about understanding your problem well enough to figure out how to *always solve it*.
That's well and good - if the problem is solvable. Some problems are not. In that case it might be understanding it well enough to figure out that it IS unsolvable. And in some cases you can't even efficiently determine whether or not the problem is solvable.
What's the point? Between the random server errors and the layout breaking due to someone screwing up the CSS and/or Javascript, Slashdot's own admins screw up the site to the point of being unusable far more often and better than any DDoS attack could.
Actually, it's all of that combined with the lungs rapidly filling with blood. The animal drowns long before it would have died due to blood loss alone.
I can hardly help but be slightly tongue-in-cheek when I use the word "humanely". I have a rather dim view of the human race on the whole; it tends to go to the least common denominator. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals.
All the food I ever killed was, more or less, killed with as little unnecessary pain or suffering as I was able to ensure. And if it wasn't killed by me, well, it's still dead and it still looks like meat. I may not really condone of the way the animal was treated but there's not much use crying over spilled milk.
Since the submitter cleverly decided to force people to visit TFA if they want to know what the missing mass actually was, where it is, or how she found it, imagine my disappointment when I couldn't due to a slashdotting.
Actually, it pretty much is, although I think I was mistaken in thinking it was controlled by the BIOS. It should always do a hard shut-down, even if there's no RAM to load the BIOS into so it can run.
The feature is built-in to the power supply, so it'll always work assuming the power supply gets the signal from the power button. (It's wired to the motherboard, and the motherboard is supposed to supply it to the power supply.)
Peter Thiel says the key to quicker business innovation is skipping college. His foundation is handing out $100,000 to 24 people under 20 to drop out of college for two years and start companies.
As usual, you get to pick two of them. Quicker and cheaper (less out-of-pocket cost for you) usually sacrifices quality.
Personally, I doubt this would work for anyone except for an entrepreneur; I certainly know I learned a lot in college and I don't think I'd take that trade, definitely not to start my own company - I'm not cut out for it. Whether or not I'll use all of what I learned in college, I still realize that more than anything else college is a place to prove yourself and show that you're able to learn. If you're able to learn, you're able to succeed, both in college and in the real world.
Was he the only person who distributed the material at the school? "Circulated" doesn't sound like one person handing out a list. Yet he's the only one they target?
Here's an idea. Why don't they use those civilian helicopters instead? They don't keep falling out of the sky. Just paint them black and use them as "secret-copters".
The failure rate does seem startling enough to demand a good explanation. So, after lengthy consideration of all the correlating facts in such cases, I've narrowed it down to two possibilities. Either it's the highly-trained pilots, or it's the guys on the ground shooting at them.

Apparently having a stand-off with the police is a great way to make new friends!
In all, Valdez made six posts and added at least a dozen new friends.

Who said anything about their current form being perfect? IIRC perfection was lost in the garden of eden.

I find your sig to be amusingly pertinent.
I think you're posting in the wrong topic. The science fiction one is over here.

Alaska shares a border with Russia?
Yes, as a matter of fact, Alaska does share a border with Russia.
A country's national sovereignty does not stop at the water's edge. It extends a certain distance into the sea. There are no international waters in the Bering Strait; the United State's exclusive economic zone directly borders Russia's.
What, has the land bridge come back recently?
Who said anything about land? But hey, if you're so inclined, you actually can walk across it when it freezes. It was crossed in 1998 on skis, and as recently as 2006 on foot.
Actually, it's all of that combined with the lungs rapidly filling with blood. The animal drowns long before it would have died due to blood loss alone.
Which is why the animals I've killed and eaten were squirrels, doves, rabbits, etc.

Of course. What I meant (and should have said) was more along the lines of "if it isn't somebody's pet".
I refuse to get on the bandwagon that some animals are more sacred than others. If it's bred for food and killed humanely, why not eat it?
I've eaten goat. And, hell, in some countries you'd be the weird one if you hadn't eaten goat.

Think of the translations, man... they have rights.

He said their "real" name and birthdate. Like this:
Russell S. Harris, 7/26/1978
And the "U" in USB stands for "MacBooks can seamlessly interface with alien ships' computers and upload viruses that shut down their entire fleet".
Okay, not quite.
Yes... they're called "flea" markets.
Calm down, we can smell you just fine already.
