You assume too much about other states. I've been routinely working nights and weekends for the past few months and I don't get paid a thing. Blame the "Fair Labor Standards Act" categorizing us as 'exempt'. I fail to see anything F in FLSA... oh, wait... but that's a different F.
Apparently so. I skipped the getting famous part. I think there are exactly 5 copies of my thesis in existence: mine, my parents, a copy for each of my co-chairs and one for the university library.
The worst part is that I had to PAY for all of them!
Established in August 2004, Like.com also said it owns almost 12 patents in the areas of visual recognition and search.
Almost 12? What the hell kind of journalism is this? Is 11 too many to count? Does zdnetasia use base 12 (in which case, I could ALMOST see this being appropriate)?
This sort of "mis-turning of a phrase" is rapidly becoming one of my top pet peeves!
yes. Welcome to corporate America, where the only person who knows your value is your immediate supervisor, and they aren't saying anything about you to anyone.
Several different "experts" have predicted that the Milky Way should have at least one supernova every 100 years. Of course, the question has been why we hadn't seen one since 1604. I guess this... ahem, sheds new light on the issue. As Dr. Reynolds puts it, there's too much interstellar 'gunk' out there.
Disclosure: Dr. Reynolds was co-chair of my thesis committee, but I was doing computational astrophysics, not observational.
You must have different project managers than I do. Ours our completely obsessed with setting (and missing) milestone dates. They don't care HOW things get done, or even if they're done properly.
Because too many database developers are restricted to working on one tier. They rely on the (incorrect) assumption that the guy working on the next lower tier has done their job properly.
Not paying enough attention, I missed this link from TFA. This notice is all about identity theft, while the summary indicates that companies will be required to check customer lists against known criminals.
If someone steals my identity and uses it to buy something, it will be my name in the customer database, not the criminal's. How would checking the customer list help? As far as I know, I'm not a known criminal or terrorist.
Although, I guess I would (incorrectly) end up on the list after a hypothetical incident.
OK, I'm just a bit confused. A quick search for FTC Red Flag returned this site, which exclusively talks about misleading weight loss claims. What does this have to do with vetting customer lists against known criminal lists?
Did you read... anything? Intermediate-Mass black hole seems to indicate its neither stellar sized (small) nor galactic-center super-massive (large) in size.
I think you missed the point. The $3B ($10/person) was just for the handheld computers. The actual cost is likely far greater (paying the census takers, printing forms, etc.)
Not true. For a hitting streak to end, you have to have one official "at-bat" in the game and fail to get a hit. Walks and sacrifice flies/bunts count as a plate appearance, but not an at-bat.
Really? When did they add that? I spent some time on X11A back in 1993 and 1994 as an undergrad research assistant... meaning I stayed up all night refilling the liquid nitrogen container during repeated EXAFS scans. We had to drive down the road to Upton to find so much as a diner or Chinese take out joint.
Of course, I wasn't 21 until my last trip, so bars weren't high on the To Do list.
It's been years... nay, a decade or more, since ass was verboten on the US airwaves. The first words out of Bender's mouth in the first Futurama episode (aired in late 1999) were "Bite my shiny metal ass". The local radio station will actually bleep the LAST half of the word 'asshole' in songs in which it appears. There's even an entire show with ass in the title: Jackass.
Don't blame kdawson for this one... it's a direct quote from TFA. I guess we're supposed to understand that they MEANT the French equivalent of the RIAA.

No, that will be January 20, 2009

Brother, can you spare a decent PM?

Bad form... replying to self... get over it.

I see two approaches here... name every file you transmit a) fluffykitten.jpg or b) underageSexDrugsRockRoll.mpg depending on the actual content

Ah... the only buildings I saw were the NSLS (building 725 on their map) and some dorm that I only vaguely remember.

That has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a long time, and I've been re-reading the Discworld novels lately.
That's what the print link is for... everything on one page, little to no ads.
Which is rather ironic since a good number of very fine whiskeys are made in the state.

Did anyone get through before the story hit the front page? I'd be interested in reading, but Google doesn't have a cached version of the story.
