In most facebook accounts, people provide a lot of information that it is illegal for the employer to ask about - age, gender, race, sexuality.
Would an employer *want* to ask your gender if it wasn't obvious? And I'm fairly certain in my region an employer would get in trouble if someone didn't meet the minimum age requirement, so they'd have to ask.
Don't worry, this article was written by Stephanie Pappas -- clearly a descendant of Palpatine. The Dark Side is trying to hide the truth. Such is the way of things.
Don't forget everyone also has to agree on a where the clock should be as relativistic effects creep in. Put that clock at the equator and compare it to one at one of the poles after a few decades, uh oh!
Basically, you're an asshole and I hope you get hit by a truck. Show some fucking compassion you're not a goddamn computer.
This is by far the most quotable thing I've read today. So... you get compassion unless you're an ass, which is in "compassion", so it's even punnier.:P
This is not about what the US wants. This is about what one part of the US government wants -- specifically, the part of the US government that gains power from natural gas as an auto fuel.
Actual US citizens just want cheap transportation options. We will switch to natural gas or any other fuel when the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
US citizens do want it! Of course they do! Just look at all the ads on tv telling us we want it! I mean, who could possibly think of the country as cattle and try to brainwash the masses with ads of kittens jumping around with "ask for natural gas" scrolling across the screen? *cough*Warren Buffett*cough*
Plus they're sending us free samples in the water supply, if you happen to be near an area that's fracking. How nice is that?!
bake your own loaf of light wheat bread for around $0.25. With a bread machine, the work is trivial and the bread is better than store bought.
A bit off topic, but what do you do about the yeast? Are you saving a bit of dough from one loaf to the next? The little packets of yeast I use are worth a loaf of bread on their own.
How would this work with broadband mobile? In my experience, most if not all broadband mobile users get a different IP address every time they log on. Most dialup users, same thing. Anybody logging in from a place of business gets the opposite problem. Everyone at that site very often gets the same apparent IP address.
Yeahhh I guess that could cause problems, you're right. Well, if someone can only post more than once per hour on an account with so much positive karma, I guess having to log in again and again for different accounts would dissuade naughty folks enough.
I think it's about time/. gets rid of the AC policy. If you can't be bothered to make an account, why should you be able to constantly stink this place up with the sort of bile we see in the first few comments to this?
If it came to a user vote, I'd go for this. Hmmm a few other changes might help: * Waiting period before new accounts could post. * Limit of one account per IP addy. * Post limit for people with low karma.
I think the first few comments were out of jealousy. I've noticed anyone who does well at an early age gets insulted on here, classic bully style. Am I jealous of her ability? Sure. I try to support those who have more talent than me rather than drag them down to my level, though.
Statistically, a child born to a family that earned money is more likely to also be successful -- it's in their genes.
That is the biggest I have ever seen. You say 'statistically' so I assume you have some numbers?
Consider a tribe of cavemen with the earliest start of a trade economy. The best hunter of the tribe sells his catches to the tribe's stores. There is another member of the tribe who tries to be a hunter, but he has terrible vision. He doesn't get any money. Both hunters have a child.
Now winter comes along. The good hunter has more money and can buy food for his child. The bad hunter with the bad eyesight can't afford to feed his child, so the kid is malnourished and has stunted growth. The child of the good hunter has good vision and grew up well. He hunts well. The child with the bad vision wouldn't be able to hunt for crap anyway, so the tribe gets more benefit from the one who was well fed.
To get to modern day, replace the job and impediment with something else. I inherited a bad immune system from my folks, it screwed me over at my job regardless of financial conditions.
So yeah, I don't have a lot of hard numbers for you. I'm making the argument of "more likely than not" rather than "by this much".
Capitalism can mimic [evolution], but it's not an 'ideal' by any stretch of the imagination.
Ohhhhh I'm not saying it's an ideal, not at all! It could be tweaked over the years though, and probably will be as overpopulation becomes more of an issue and resources are in even more demand.
I thank you for your well-worded response, but I think you're giving humanity much more credit than it deserves.
How is it that you allow young people, let alone whole families, to be homeless, to live in "shelters".
In a world of limited resources, the resources we have are given to those who are most likely to do something helpful to society with them. "Money" is a way to reward contributions to society. Statistically, a child born to a family that earned money is more likely to also be successful -- it's in their genes. The family puts their child into a great (expensive) school to make sure she can reach her potential.
Capitalism is an economic equivalent to Darwin's survival of the fittest. There are merits to this, despite the corruption.
At the same time, you have to make sure that the occasional "mutant" who has abilities beyond her parents has the opportunity to make money herself. That's what socialized education is for. There is also something called "Child Services", which makes sure that children are receiving an acceptable upbringing. I'm not sure what kind of shelter this family is in, but it was unsafe, then the daughter would have been removed from the family and placed in foster care.
In America, we give you a free chance, but not a free ride. There's your answer.
I'd think they'd be better off making a snazzy clothing accessory and marketing it with the phone instead. Solar vest, maybe? Vests are just waiting for an excuse for a comeback. There are already backpacks with solar panels, but those aren't really practical for non-students.
One problem with this is that our fleet is parked right outside their country. We could sink their ships, but the missiles will still be coming from all over their *land*.
I'm annoyed that the US has the policy to anchor a fleet on the doorstep of a country tensions are high with, then blames that country for being confrontational. I could just imagine the propaganda storm that would come if Iran or North Korea had a fleet off the coast of Hawaii and started having random wargames right there. Why is this country such a hypocritical bully all the damn time?
What's Canada like? Is it nice there? -starts packing-
Agreed, I'm definitely not believing a word of it. Every other thing I've heard about the Fire has been negative thus far. In fact, the linked article doesn't even sound as hyped up as the summary:
“Kindle Fire has great potential if Amazon improves its performance and irons out a few of the current bugs, which I'm sure they will,” added Pusenjak. “It's not exactly a prediction to say that Fire will become thinner, less expensive and more powerful over time.”
So even the game developers are saying they're not gonna touch it unless it's fixed.
So this country seems to be capable of thwarting our latest tech, which would be a lot of trouble in a future conflict. Can we switch sides and be their allies now? What did they do to tick us off, again? I don't remember.
The paint and fuselage material are the most important things on it that they can gather data from that isn't already something they can get their hands on through other channels.
The paint would be easy here. I've seen this color matcher at Lowe's....
... I've felt sad that not only is American democracy co-opted by special interests and the inevitability of a stagnant two-party system, but even at best it would be limited to a late 18th-century worldview.
It'll make you even more sad to find out that Thomas Jefferson believed the Constitution should be scrapped and rewritten every 19 years, a new set of rules that each generation decides for itself to follow. All the modern politicians that talk about the founding fathers tend to skip over that point.

I don't know about other countries, but in the US, employers may not ask about the following.
Race
Color
Sex
Religion
National origin
Birthplace
Age
Disability
I'd love to see someone run for president without anyone asking these things.

If people don't want to look at porn, why don't they just not look at porn? Why do they have to tell someone else that they can't look at porn either?
Because they don't want to settle for only feeling good "doing the right thing" when they can also feel superior to some heathen. :-\
There on hints on Vin Diesel's Facebook page that he's working on a new Riddick film now. This is excellent timing. :D
