Check the job listings around you or where you want to work. What skills are required for the jobs that sound the most enjoyable and/or pay the most? That should tell you.
Not true, and I'm not sure why this keeps getting repeated. The law is to give the workers the choice of secret ballots. The reason why? Because of the cottage industry of union organization busting that has cropped up in Corporate America.
I've heard a lot of criticisms of the current administration, for all of its flaws, a mere 2 months into its run. The rule of thumb has always been it takes about 3 months for a President to get everyone in place and to get running. Add to that we're in the midst of a near financial meltdown and people are nitpicking about the precision of data covering trillions in expenditures on a federal website about 2 months old? Give it time.
Sadly, this is the attitude of many in sales in this country. Good Business is how much you can milk from your customers and how fast regardless of the consequences. I sat with a couple of sales guys (friends at that) last weekend who bragged back and forth about how they were literally screwing associates.
Paraphrasing a quote from The Grapes of Wrath, "Steal a tire and you're a criminal. Sell a man a tire with a hole in it and that's just good business."
I drive a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix and I LOVE it. First, it was dirt cheap for a sedan. Second, it has some nice mid-level features (the heads up display will spoil you). Third, I've NEVER had any mechanical problems with it. I hear a lot of gripes about American cars and from what I read on Edmunds, most of the complaints are with merit. But I've been pretty happy with my choice.
Pontiac has the Solstice, too which is pretty awesome looking.
The problem is our knowledge of genetics isn't as advanced as we like to think. The same genes that give Dalmations their distinct appearance also harbor an increased likelihood of deafness.
We don't have a way to say with absolute certainty what we're doing when we start screening DNA. And, even a potential indication of a disease might also harbor other advantages that we haven't understood yet.

But, do you blame the breeders or the dog shows? I know some working class breeders have fought AKC recognition knowing that over time they'd end up with very pretty but very incompetent training stock.
If dog shows for working breeds were performance-based, you'd have breeders working towards the betterment of the breed rather than appearance.
I bought a husky about 10 years ago from a breeder who was a recently retired sled dog racer. Ten years later I went back to her for another puppy and her dogs were very pretty, but not at all trained or bred for racing.
Last I read, if you time your mission right, you can land on the fissures where the ice is melted and get through much faster. As sibling states, you're definitely melting your way through, not drilling.
I've been dreaming about a remote sub mission under the ice. Probably the best shot in the solar system for complex life. Screw poking around for microbes!
I'm in Olathe, this was about 3 years ago in Overland Park at the 87th and Frontage Road intersection, around the time the new intersection construction was going on. I just say KC since most people wouldn't know the difference:)
Eternal vigilance, and I don't mean watching Soviet missile silos. I mean watching OUR silos. The cost of maintaining and securing our nuclear stockpile, nuclear materials, the people who watch our materials (and the people who watch THEM) at a Zero Fail level is killing us. To paraphrase that dirtbag Robert McNamara "the combination of nuclear weapons and human fallibility will inevitably lead to nuclear war." It's almost happened at least twice.
I hope many foreign readers of Slashdot read the GP and parent. You'll better understand the mind of a good 40% or more of us. This is the problem with how the US thinks about war. It's been 200 years since we had soldiers marching in our streets and burning cities (besides Sherman). War for us means our soldiers going somewhere ELSE to fight valiantly, while we at home deal with inconvenient shortages at worst.
We spend as much on war as the rest of the planet COMBINED! No one stops to think what all that money gets us. They just rant and rave at the thought that someone might want to spend any less.
I live in Kansas City which was playing around with the idea of red light cameras. Of course, when the citizens started an uproar, they said "it's just a study." I know that one of the intersections I went through every day had it's light sequence shorted, to the point that the slightest hesitation or slow reaction required you to get on the brakes pretty hard.
So, you don't have a problem if someone shows hardcore porn to your kids? It's just sex afterall. And, before you say hardcore porn is unrealistic, let's say that the DVD is the more gentle erotica kind.
I can't imagine any parent answering YES to that question.

You want short lines, live in a strongly Republican precinct.
So, when he says "international organizations" what makes you immediately think Hugo Chavez and Castro? Try the UN!

Umm, so how long ago were you in college? I thought I was old school for playing Netrek in college...and that was PRE-Windows client days.
Pontiac is limping along with a joke lineup.

Nice one! Hopefully, some more children posts will get people to read a great joke.

Yes, the Bush administration had HUNDREDS of scientists from Pat Robertson University who disagree.

The only information I want to "draw from the environment" is the light emitted from the ladies' shower at my gym.

Shouldn't you have used Virgil? Or Odysseus?
