Citation needed. Have fun, because you're dead wrong. For example, we produce on average two orders of magnitude more CO2 than volcanism. Are you getting paid to spout this shit, or are you telling lies for free? That's not a very good deal.
Even after a major eruption event? I know these don't happen very often, but I have a hard time believing that we output more CO2 than a volcano can potentially output. But if you're talking dormant, or mostly dormant volcanoes, who would be surprised by that statistic?
Why can we not keep up with the technological advances of the Great Leader of NK? I mean, this is the future of the internet, is it not? So why are they getting it before us?
I would definitely be considered a lightweight in Australia, then! By those measures I am saving about $1300 a month;)
You can buy an 18 pack (12 oz, ~350ml cans or bottles) of something cheap like Coors light for ~$15 here. A good 6-pack of 12oz bottles of German beer would run you about $10. But you can go out and sometimes get 2 for 1 beers for $4 here. If you know the bartender really well it gets even cheaper.;)
Translating my info to the Australian dollar, there were 19 people like me in all of brisbane and 70 in all of Sydney. There are 700,000 people before you filter.
Seriously? I can fit a Nexus 7 in my back pocket. I could fit a 4" Evo 3D in my pocket quite nicely too. I suppose if you are wearing women's jeans then the pockets will be smaller.
Agreed. I try to save for retirement like I was going to go into early retirement at 55. If all goes well with my investments, 50 might be achievable. Would I want to retire that early? No way. But when I get into my 50s I want to work because I love my job, and not because I need the paycheck.
Well the judge didn't specify that you should be able to view it without an Apple Cinema Display;) They're just trying to push monitors so Samsung employees can look at their apology.
Oh I agree with what you're saying but 1) the job is in Dallas, TX. 2) In my experience, these large companies are very hard to get into w/o meeting the basic requirements. If you know someone, you can get into them, but I bet the application would never make it past HR. I'm a pretty spot on match for 90% of their requirements, maybe more. But I am not going to bother applying for a job that is somewhere I don't want to live, and is also likely just a waste of my time. I have a job already and am only casually looking at other opportunities.
I was actually contacted about another position with a smaller company. They asked me to apply and I was interested, and did so. They called me up for a phone screen and asked how many years of mobile development i had (it's on my resume). I was honest and the person started going on about how I should have never applied because I didn't meet the minimum qualifications. Then I explained to them that I used to do embedded development for ARM/MIPS and that I have plenty of experience on low power devices, and am just a little short of experience on the particular mobile API they wanted me to know. They went from being on the verge of ending the phone screen, to talking to me for another 20 minutes. It left a bad taste in my mouth for that company, however.
I just got an email from Samsung at the beginning of this week asking me to apply for a job in Dallas, TX. They are looking for an ARM Server hardware/software development team. They sent me the software job description and it looks like they want people who can tweak some firmware and perhaps even tinker with the Linux kernel. Looked like a great job but they require an MS in CS/CE and prefer PH Ds. I don't know why they even bothered emailing me. They have my resume and I clearly do not have a masters.
Well I was registered republican't [sic] in California and people are posting on CNN.com how they never got their Republican absentee ballots in Afghanistan. Maybe its a democrap [sic] conspiracy in the blue states? I kid of course, but I have never had anything lost in the USPS that I know of, so I was really irritated. I was even more irritated when California refused to mail me another absentee ballot and told me that I could report to my polling place (2500 miles away) on election day.
Yes my school had "lab fees" tossed in as well, though they were applied to all classes that have a lab. We had "mathematica lab" for calculus classes and what not. It just so happens that 90% of the engineering classes had labs, and so you paid more lab fees than anyone but perhaps the science majors. I think they had it fixed to a dollar amount per lab hour, if I recall correctly.
Yes. Perhaps you didn't understand his point that the cost is the same for the liberal arts student as it is for the engineer. The engineer is likely in more demand than the liberal arts student. His argument is that they should pay less because in theory there should be more people going after those degrees. When everyone pays the same tuition some students think "I might as well take all these recreational studies classes, they are a blast!" And don't pursue in demand degrees. While I don't necessarily agree with what he is saying, I think his point is clear. The only influence the market has on majors is anticipated pay upon graduating and getting a job. While that works for some people, it does not work on all. I think this is just going to lower the quality of STEM students, however. Either way, my ears started bleeding when I was listening to the Senator-elect from Massachusetts talk about bailing out all the liberal arts students with more student loans than they can afford. Maybe this way some of those people will take a few classes and learn a little bit of math and economics?
When I left California in 2008, I registered absentee for the Nov 2008 election. I never got my ballot in the mail. I contacted my county election officials and they told me it had been mailed and they even had the correct address. I don't know what happened to that ballot, but I never got to vote that year and I was pissed. For all I know they had someone vote for me. But then again, it could have been lost in the USPS too (though I think that is rare these days).
I believe the point of it is to prevent media, reporters, mobsters and one else who may be interested in seeing how people vote. The ban is a blanket ban because you could easily pretend to be taking a picture of yourself when you snap a picture of someone else. It makes sense. You can broadcast how you vote all you want, but there should be a level of privacy inside the actual room that you vote in. Note that the media and others are welcome to wait outside for you to come out. They just can't go inside to film you.
In FL, if you enter the polling place and take a picture you're going to be talking to the police/sheriff. Well, if you get caught. And besides, the whole point is to have an anonymous vote. Put a damn picture of you and your "I Voted Today" sticker online.
Ok dude my ballot was 4 pages long. Not even 8.5x11 pages long. None of the judges had opposition. Most of the local people did not either. If I don't have the time or the energy to run for one of those positions, what am I supposed to do? Force someone to run at gun point? And I didn't say that I vote blindly. I said I abstain from voting when I do not understand an issue. I would think you could be okay with that. At least I am not going down the ballot marking every single D or R on the ballot. But if you're not okay with it, I don't care. It's my right to vote, and I will do so how I see fit. At least I try to tackle the important issues and ignore the ones that I don't have the time to address.
Same with Spanish and English. Often people who learn English as as second language (when properly educated) know the rules of grammar better than native speakers. I learned to read, write, and speak Spanish when I was 20 and I know that I write it a hell of a lot better than my native friends. The well educated ones accent properly, but most of the lower middle class to poor can barely use proper written grammar in their own language. I know a lot of poor native English speakers who have terrible grammar, as well.
I abstain from voting for anyone or anything I do believe I have a basic understanding of. And if the only person running for a position is the incumbent, then I absolutely refuse to vote. I'd love to have the incumbent look at the paper the next day, see his 50 votes and think "Hmm maybe these people don't really like me at all?" Maybe it will encourage someone to run against them in the next election? It never happens though, people seem to default to filling out the only choice if there is only one choice.
What? No. They have to offer the same price to everyone, and they do. But they are willing to cross-license patents in lieu of financial renumeration. In fact, if they are taking more patents than giving, they may not charge any cash for a FRAND patent. That doesn't mean they have to give it away for free to everyone. It still has a specified value. It's just a question of what you put on the bargaining table, cash or other considerations of equal value.
I do not know of a manufacturer that does not do this. Ford seems to have the easiest codes to get a hold of (cheapest price that I've seen, at least). But they specifically allowed it when they passed the law that made ODB-II go into effect in 1995. They have certain powertrain/engine codes that have to be shared amongst all manufacturers. Beyond that, they can do whatever they want. For instance I own a Subaru, and when I hook up my reader to the computer I can see that there are certain custom codes available for the transmission, but can only see the selected gear and a few other things. The other codes show no data. Even when I hook it up to an open source or android ODB-II app, there is no data for those codes.

You can't do calculations using Avogadro's number in your head? Wow you definitely don't belong in chemistry. ;-)
Too hobbled to cheat with? You can store a lot of notes inside the calculator, and most of them are able to do your basic calculus exam
Seriously. Where are all the Microsoft Virtual PC fans? There has to be at least one out there.

I hope you enjoy alcoholism. Good luck with that. ;). That's a lot of beer.

You didn't have to post this as AC, Bob. Everyone knows its you. Just tell us how you really feel.
