Beer was probably the first "junk" food along with cheese and meat on a stick.
You say this from the comfort of the modern world where clean water is readily available. Beer was invented as a safe beverage because water used to be not so clean.
OP should have used Seattle to Chicago instead of Atlanta to Denver. No rivers be crossin' the Continental Divide.
Should have used anywhere and Salt Lake City. Since the Great Salt Lake is a terminal lake, it's impossible to get to the area by water from anywhere outside the local watershed.
Here in Portland, OR there was a story in the newspaper about a guy who commutes to work in a canoe. I kid you not. OP should have used Seattle to Chicago instead of Atlanta to Denver. No rivers be crossin' the Continental Divide.
A most interesting way to get from Atlanta to Denver.. Where can I get a ticket?
No problem. Your connections are as follows:
Chattahoochee River to Apalachicola River Apalachicola River to the Intracoastal waterway Intracoastal waterway to Mississippi River Mississippi River to Missouri River MIssouri River to Platte River On Platte River, take the left fork to South Platte river Arrive Denver.
And you smell like a coding monkey to me. It's not easy to say 'it's life' when your business bankrupt if you're a capitalist. Pawns of capitalism (ie. workers) mostly have no idea how hard is to run a business, that's why regardless where they work, they always complain about their bosses and working environment.
No, he has the lesson right. History is full of the sad tales of businesses that failed because they depended entirely too much on one specific other business whether that other business is a supplier, customer, or middleman. This is yet another case of depending too heavily on another business to act as middleman/distributor. The lesson really is to not depend too heavily on one other business whose interests are its own, not yours, unless you're willing to take the risk and not cry too hard when the other company does something counter to your best interests. The inherent high risk of the business plan was right there in the summary where he says 'we bet everything on '.
Look at IBM when the PC was first made: they insisted on a second supplier of processors, now known as AMD, because they didn't want to be completely dependent on Intel as a sole supplier. Why couldn't the company in question here not develop for Android as well as Apple or heck, even some of the non-super phones like ATT apps? Sure, it costs less to develop for only one but they took that chance and lost. They should have taken that risk into account but apparently didn't. No sympathy here.
The key factor is that this mission was so important - even the President was personally involved in its planned
As commander in chief the President is required to have some input. Look at LBJ - he used to pick individual bombing targets himself during the Vietnam war and we all know how well that turned out. Given the current President's military experience versus how well it went, it's pretty clear that his personal involvement was listening carefully to the military experts and signing the authorization.
They read the odometer when you renew your plates..
I will expect my 200 mil in small unmarked, non sequential bills... thankyouverymuch
You want a department of motor vehicles employee to work as hard as it would take to get up and go out to read your odometer? You must be be from Bizarro World.
You do realize that graduates are the supply, not the demand?
Both parties in market transactions represent supply and demand. In this case, potential employees (graduates) supply skilled labor for which they demand wages. Potential employers demand skilled labor for which they supply wages. Before graduation, students demand education for which they supply tuition. Schools supply education for which they demand tuition. At some point of skills versus wages, certain employers hire certain employees and at some point of tuition certain students attend certain schools for some degree (pun intended) of education. These points are known as the market clearing prices.
I agree as well. As someone who teaches in academia on occasion, the university should reverse their thinking. It should be significantly cheaper to get a degree in a field where their is demand.
You want to lower prices where "their" is demand? You obviously teach neither economics nor English.
I thought putting a small i in front of regular words to make it a product name was Apple's area of business. Prepare the lawsuits to demand the registration be handed over.
They did, it is called USB. You ipod dock cable even supports that.
But USB is just a protocol for sending data, not how the data is structured. So a player plugged into a USB from a stereo just becomes a storage device that could be used by the dash player. This creates a number of difficulties by itself as the dash player has to navigate any given player's file structure, etc, and provide a unified way to present what it finds to the operator for selection. At least the ipod cable eliminates this because the dash player just takes the input or uses the ithings protocols. The 1/8" plug in mine of course just relies on operating the portable player. A generic USB actually has a lot of potential to be not as good as either of these, depending on your portable player and the dash player's ability to browse it.
My car has a standard 1/8" plug for an external player to use the stereo but my wife's car came with an ipod socket which is useless as we don't have any ithings. I imagine the pressure on the car makers to include car stereos locking in to one or another proprietary format (probably the ipod type; I think I was lucky) and the consumer being really stuck.
The main point to be taken from this story is that all of those services the government does well are 100% impersonal public services. Note the person even used anonymous cash to purchase the gasoline. Finally, at the end, the person complains that medical care and ID cards, which are by definition 100% personal, would be bad for the government to run. It appears completely consistent to have these two opposing positions on opposing types of government services.
This sounds a lot like the slashdot moderation scheme...
Speaking of which, it used to throw up a 'please take your turn at metamoderation' link every once in a while. I haven't seen that for quite a while now. Did the new version leave it out?
Interesting thing about that that refutes your point
And the even more interesting thing about that chart is they choose when the Great Society programs started to hit full stride as when to notice low income earners stopped improving. No longer do the poor in America see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires but instead as deserving something for nothing. Thanks Kennedy/LBJ/Nixon/Ford!
Considering I live a couple hundred miles from it I'm a gonner in the first wave
Yeah; a friend of mine in southern Japan was moaning about the earthquake problems the northern part was having lately and I said, 'That's nothing; here in Denver we'll show you a *real* natural calamity just as soon as Yellowstone blows."

There is only one legal source for such a thing. Your offer could be a felony :-)
Not if he has a canoe and a river guide license for the intervening jurisdictions.

I just hope that helium-3 won't bond regular helium in some strange new way and make it into a solid.
The guy who wants all information to be accessible to everyone is complaining the biggest collections of information are too accessible?

How much community is there when "volunteers from around the world" adds up to "dozens".

"The campaign which reportedly cost $73,000 includes thousands of red capes"

Florida taxpayers' money hard at work creating jobs.
