Sure it does - it means that if he doesn't get out of the parking lot and stay out of the parking lot, then he's trespassing. The parking lot is private property, even in Oregon. I'll bet that's what they finally end up charging him with.
Actually, the story is pretty clear that he was in the parking lot of the coffee shop. That's not public property. The article also says that the sheriff's department had asked him to leave at least once before, but he came back anyway. The whole "theft of service" thing might be a stretch, but I guess they could make a case for trespassing.
The sex offender business may be kind of icky, but I don't think that it means anything in this case. He's a level one which is low risk of reoffending. It's just a little sensationalism on the part of KATU TV.
I get any resistance, and I will imply very strongly that the rep is placing himself at very strong risk of personal legal expense.
Of course the phone rep will realize that you're just spouting bullshit. You're account will be cancelled, I'm sure, but it won't change the fact that if you really said that you'd be nothing more than a pretentious asshole (and, I have to imagine, the butt of plenty of call center jokes).
And, in keeping with the/. spelling nazi conspiracy, it's "toe the line".
Two out of 535 isn't exactly a counterexample, especially when both politicians come from the same state.
Sure it is - especially since the GP said that there was no chance of a non-Democrat or Republican being elected outside of local elections. Based on the data, it seems that there's a 0.37% chance (using poor man's statistics).
With the election system of the US, it's always 2 parties with nobody having thet slightest chance to muscle in, at best in local elections (which, frankly, have no impact on copyright laws).
Maybe they had a previous experience with the old (late '90's) Micron TransPort notebooks. Mine had a Pentium 166 MMX CPU and a desktop chipset. Hot? Oh hell no, it was scorching. It's probably the reason that I don't have kids (go ahead, bring it on...)
One word: Renault. Actually, for me, Renault is a marvelous synonym for a lot of words, most of which aren't fit for mixed company. See also, Fuego. And if you really want to blister the paint, Turbo Fuego.
I spent five years getting my EE degree and never saw a TA. Every class was taught by a "real" professor. I guess I was lucky - I always thought that it was the norm, until I graduated and started hearing horror stories from other engineers.
I check with our interns every summer and they still don't use TA's at my university's EE school. Still lucky, I guess, although I have to think that a TA might have been better than the professor who taught device physics. Oh, and any of the math professors. But I digress...
Mine came from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. You might have seen the story about the stolen laptop on the news. If the most well-funded military in the world can't keep a lid on our personal data, who can?
Things haven't changed all that much. There are value stocks and there are income stocks. Value stocks are the rock stars of the stock market right now, the ones that get all the attention. They get the attention because of the potential for short term profits - or short term losses.
Income stocks that pay out dividends are all over the place. But they're boring to the analysts. Year in and year out profitability and a ten cent dividend from a smokestack stock doesn't make flashy news. But there are plenty of income stocks out there. They just don't present a newsworthy investment return.
The other thing that has changed is the ability for regular people like you and me to invest in the market without having to rely on a commissioned broker. We get to make our own decisions and don't think that the business media doesn't know it!
Microsoft used to be a perfect example of a value stock. Now it's making the transition to income stock. Growth is declining, but the company remains profitable and it's at the point where it can pay out profits in the form of dividends instead of socking the cash away for growth.
The current stock market isn't broken - the problem is the way that the market is reported, particularly when the so-called analysts try to treat income stocks as value stocks.
Stock history tends to be post-depression, anyway. Prior to the depression, there was plenty of wild trading in value stocks and the market was a scary place. The big blue chip companies didn't really come along until after World War II. That's probably what your father in law is thinking of - that's where people put their money during the baby boom because it was perceived as safe and solid. And who can blame them? My grandparents lived through the depression and they never trusted the stock market again.
Sure, I'm with you - and there are probably several revenue streams that are currently untapped for Craigslist. I just think that the $500 million figure is pretty much pie in the sky.
I'm kind of intrigued by the company - it's very focused on its market which is probably not a bad way to be. The (very large) company that I worked for tried to be an everything to everyone company about 15 years ago and almost went broke because it became a monster that lost focus of what the suits call its "core competency". Maybe Craigslist has learned something from others' mistakes.
On the other hand, maybe it's just easier to do one thing at a time;-)
turns up its nose at half a billion dollars? No company. What kind of analyst says that a company like Craigslist can generate half a billion dollars in revenue? An analyst hyping himself, I'd say. Remember analysts who said that the Dow would hit 20,000?
Maybe it's worthwhile to heap accolades on Craigslist for being a "good" company. Or, just maybe, they're happy with reasonable year over year growth, rather than uncontrollably exploding, not unlike a supernova.
Besides, it strikes me that if the name of the game is for Craigslist to draw its members to view classifieds on its various sites, then it would be a disservice to those members who advertise on Craigslist to send the viewing members away from the site - even if classifieds are free. I kind of think that the idea of the sort of commercial ads mentioned in the WSJ article probably strays from the Craigslist business model.
Yes, making money is obviously important, but it doesn't preclude doing the right thing.
As an example, the Fortune 500 electronics company that I work for does most of its R&D in the US, but there are also R&D centers in other countries, mostly from acquisitions. It does most of its manufacturing in the US as well, even though it could get away with doing the job much cheaper in emerging countries, particularly China, where environmental rules are pretty slack and labor costs are much lower.
We've got at least one fab in China, true, but it meets US safety and environmental standards. I'm sure that the pay is not what it is in the US, but if the pay there is like the pay here, it's above the national average for the job.
Here in the US, we regularly win awards for going well above and beyond governmental requirements for environmental safety. We've got a fairly green operation, as much as possible, considering what it takes to do what we do.
The company has established a well-funded charitable foundation that supports education and arts in the community and around the country - and even in the big tech downturn when we were losing billions of dollars a year, it was able to give away millions of dollars each year.
And the thing is, we're not particularly different from most other large companies. So the "make money at any cost" mantra is getting pretty tiring.
On the off chance that you're not just being sarcastic, it seems pretty clear to me. The two engineering managers initially wanted to say "no-go", but after reviewing the case that the rest of the management team (and don't fool yourself - the two "engineers" are most definitely managers) presented, they decided to drop their objections.
Maybe it's good, maybe it's bad, but it's not indecipherable.
I don't know about that. Most shuttle trips are pretty short: They start at one of the Kennedy Space Center's launch pads, and they disembark just a couple of miles away at the shuttle's runway.
Most auto trips are shorter. Mine start at my driveway and end there, too.
Two senior NASA managers - chief engineer Chris Scolese and Bryan O'Conner, the associate administrator of Safety and Mission Assurance - did have concerns over the potential risk of foam debris posed by a number of insulated ice frost ramps along Discovery's external tank, NASA officials said.
About 34 foam-covered ice frost ramps line the shuttle fuel tank, insulating brackets that connect a cable tray and pressurization line.
"From their particular discipline, they felt they wanted their statement to be No-Go," William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for space operations said. "But they do not object to us flying and they understand the reasons and the rationale that we laid out in the review for flight."

Ok, now for a second exercise.
In futility, I think.
Your exercise has already been through the federal court system. Your radio station can't require payment to listen to their broadcast.
