Honestly. If we want to have any chance as a race we've GOT to get off this rock before we kill ourselves off. The longer we say bound up, the more chance some nutjob with a nuke and an axe to grind does something stupid.
Interestingly enough Niven & Pournelle had a fun little book on just what could happen if a sentient race had population control problems and limited space. "The Gripping Hand". Trash Sci-Fi but it a good thought-puzzle.
I keep having to remind myself that this movie wasn't made so much to sell tickets so much as to re-sell 3D to the masses.
Most consumers had written off most 3D flicks to cheesy horror flicks where the ax is getting thrown right at you.
Notice in this movie the astounding lack of "COMING AT YOU!" 3D moments, and more use of the visuals to help set the mood & stage for what was going on in the movie (ie: busy control room, falling ashes, etc).
Coincedently this is exactly what I preach to my friends & family about when I said that if the MPAA wants to continue to exist, they'll find a way to fill the theater seats. This innovation will help for the next 5 years or so until the consumer market saturates with 3D glasses & Tech.

But we outsource/leverage quite a substantial amount from other business units in our platform. (Basically anything software wise is leveraged, we handle site-specific software and 95% of the hardware).
For the most part, bioethanol is produced from whatever is the main sugar-crop in the area. For example: In the midwest it's corn, In the midsouth its switchgrass, Sugarbeets in the northeast & Europe, and Sugarcane in more equitorial regions (Like Brazil, who despite being an OPEC nation gets most of their fuel from bioethanol).
I agree completely. Someone should remind the FTC that the REAL world is also bad for Minors and has been since shortly after it's inception, and that porn/cursing/bad behavior was every bit as accessible twenty years ago.
Parenting is the modifier to the world's constants.
Are actually pretty common, and are rarely optional. If you plan to continue with this company as a career, your only response can be enthusiasm with a hope to promote up or out of "On Call Hell".
Sorry.
What a knee-jerk reaction to simply say either: "No children on the internet!" or "I must protect my children at all costs!". The first is a typical knee-jerk, the second just makes coddled children who *Won't* think for themselves, who grow up to be adults who expect the government to continue to coddle them.
I have two girls, both under the age of 10. Both have a Facebook account registered under pseudonyms. Both have played MMORG's on my lap. My point? Parenting is more than just protection, it's education. Each of my daughters online sessions is supervised, and used to educate them on what IS and what IS NOT allowed. We repeatedly emphasis that anything done on the net is permanent. We teach how to don and maintain a layer of anonymity between their true selves and the keyboard.
tl:dr Summery. Teach your children to use the net like you would teach them to ride a bike. Run beside them in the beginning, grow to riding beside them to teach road-rules with the goal of smart decision making as (mostly) self-sufficient teens.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if his wage doesn't already have his on-call time figured in. ie: his hourly rate is actually $2-$3 less, the difference is his on-call bonus being merged in.
Quite the contrary. War's good for the economy when we have to make goods in order to wage the war or to rebuild from it.
Shakrai's point was twofold: 1). Available labor went WAY down so wages went up. 2). At the onset of the war there weren't enough goods to wage the war, so manufacturing had a incentive to tool up.
Currently we're not employing more people, so #1's gone. Secondly we're not producing goods for the current war effort, merely consuming some of the glut of what already exists.

It's about liability, again.
Anyone else find it odd that the first thing the IT techs there "quickly isolated and rebuilt the offending print server."?
Sounds to me like they know who it may be and were covering up for a friend.

That's exactly what my wife said as we left the theater. "Well It looked pretty, but the first 3/4ths the movie was just 'Space Pocahontas'."

They've just rounded 50.1 to the nearest hundred.
That way they can keep it to one significant digit and all...

Lots of good information and links here.

I also love the windows port they're doing: http://windows.kde.org/ Works great for those who're stuck on windows boxes at work.
