Well, the "Right To Work" moniker is indeed misleading. Seems to be the trend lately; giving your policies a title which will appeal to the people you're targeting it at -- hopefully, a few (or a lot) won't do any research and just agree with you. Having said that, I think I agree with the policy, I just think they should call it something more descriptive. "Union Neutral" or something. Anyway, Michigan is an "at will" state, meaning employers or employees can sever their relationship for any (non-illegal) reason. I'm sure being under contract trumps that however.
Make part of the Facebook login process to enter your your race, age, marital status, or other things that it is illegal for employers to ask you about in an interview. If they ask you to log in for them, you can claim that that is a form of asking you that information and is not allowed.
And during the golden age of technology, when computers ran faster than ever before and all the far flung corners of the world were connected and able to communicate instantaneously, the most lucrative profession a young geek could aspire to was... lawyer.
(dons tin foil hat) Do they really want phones like these to become inexpensive and easy to produce? Would we have been able to locate bin Laden if the courier and the whole group had these? Is there a back door hidden in the design that allows the NSA access? (removes tin foil hat)
Opening the mine and, if necessary, subsidizing it may be the best answer in a situation like this. However the important thing is to maintain the availability of the resource, not necessarily to keep the price low.
I'm sure the far right would consider this sacrilege to the God of Free Markets, but sometimes when you're dealing with entities like China you need to be willing to stray slightly from your ideology sometimes, for everyone's sake.
This only makes sense, considering that most people probably use their mobile phone as their primary phone these days. It really pisses me off when I'm in the store and my phone rings with a robocall telling me my car warranty is nearly expired.
Unfortunately, I hate to say I agree with this. The scientific community needs to figure out a way to generate realistic budget predictions AND STICK TO THEIR BUDGETS. If you cannot do this, nobody wants to risk funding future missions / projects. I get the distinct feeling that they lowball their estimates intentionally upfront, knowing that they will be able to go back to the trough later on once the government has that initial investment made. Private business has learned throwing good money after bad is rarely a good idea; government is apparently just now getting the idea. The scientific community needs to become more responsible in this regard.
Sounds like someone needs to start a new project on Kickstarter. The lander will be covered in GoDaddy and IBM logos, and the astronauts will be drinking Coke (tm) and eating Hormel Chili.
While both scenarios are extremely improbable, I wonder what the odds are of being struck by an extinction level asteroid or comet vs being invaded or flat out destroyed by aliens. (I'm assuming that the alien invasion scenario probably hasn't happened in the past because there were no technological beings here for them to worry about.)
And maybe that's Amazon's master plan... all the little guys just set up Amazon Webstores, and let Amazon handle all the details (for a fee, of course).
yet ticking the 'interested in career opportunities' box is a no-no? How would you job hunt if people don't think you're interested in exploring other opportunities?
Am I the only one, or does this just sound Orwellian?
I am a horrible flier, I do it when I need to for business but am usually white-knuckled the whole way. Then, when I am there, I seem to not be able to stop thinking about the trip home. I don't need one more thing to deter me from flying...

Apparently those Tennessee lawmakers haven't heard of Russell's teapot.
Seems like it would be cheaper than drones.
As long as there isn't any incriminating genetic engineering in your DNA, you shouldn't have a problem with this.

Here is another interesting interview with Ned Borenstein I read last week.
Slashdotted already.

No sure if anyone has, but India is aggressively pursuing it.

This has been noticed before. Here is another article on it.

No, it's like making your car payment so you can get to the grocery store and *gasp* finding that they expect you to pay for the food as well!

I think they usually require 5 sigma (99.9999426697%) for it to be official.

So is anthropomorphic climate change when you blame it on Mother Earth or Old Man Winter?
Well, never say never...

Not to mention, we don't have thousands of years...
