I always wondered why I hated murlocs so much. My theory is that when I first started playing WoW (my NE hunter), the murlocs were the first serious threat I encountered and the first I couldn't solo or find groups to fight against. So, they killed me A LOT.
...at what point does your amount of experience obviate the need for a degree? I worked 2 years as a low level admin and I've been working for 9 years as a software engineer with no degree. If I start job hunting, are interviewers going to ask me about a degree?
Works great in New York. But, not so well here in KC if you've ever visited. There's quite a bit of sprawl here and it would take a massive effort to serve the outlying suburbs.
Why do some people STILL think that the only way to realistically supply this country with 21st century power requirements is nuclear?
And, yes I'm one of those people who recoil from the word nuclear. Ask some Nevadans around Yucca Mountain about the bullshitted safety parameters and you'll know why.
Snooping is easy, getting away with it is not. A friend of a friend was a telecom employee snooping on records and got fired (girlfriend looking up her ex-boyfriend's phone log and possibly text messages).
I don't know how it works, but queries like that into the customer records throw up flags that management can see. Apparently, they're not doing a good enough job instructing employees that these safeguards exist since it happens so often.
I used to work in a very wealthy school district. They had zero clue about how to best implement their plans, but lots of cash to throw at the problem. They even had a computer lab with 24 desktops and 12 cheap printers; with a parallel cable splitter connecting two PCs to each! The teachers were also never shown how to even use the most basic functions of the PCs they each had in their rooms. So, the vast majority of hardware was relegated to collecting dust or game play when kids were done with their work.
So, what I'm saying is the first two steps are:
Show teachers how to leverage technology in their lesson plans
Show the administrators what technology can do
Getting too fixated on the hardware details first is putting the cart before the horse.
Also, ace pilot from Vietnam and engaged in one of the coolest 1v1 duels of all time against the mysterious Colonel Tomb. He was also one of my childhood heroes.
Duke was the analogy I always used whenever my friends kept hammering away and how good a President McCain would be because of his courageous POW years.
Also take into account that the Bible is heavily laden with symbolism and iconography; some of that is obscure or worse, lost to us forever.
One story from my art history classes, I found out that the peacock was a contemporaneous icon for Christians. Why? Because their feathers have a pattern similar to an eye and a peacock with many of these feathers is interpreted as the omnipotence/omnipresence of God. So, when I read a passage from the Bible about some hideous creature with 1000 eyes (or something like it), I understood that it wasn't a monster but a manifestation/minion of God.
Sorry, Fundamentalists, but you've been wrong all this time.
I work as a developer too without formal education, but a degree is like a certification of authenticity (regardless of actual ability) that you can carry around and use to get a job anywhere. Take a look at the job listings in your paper. Just about all of them require a degree. I've been working for 11 years and when a friend offered me a job at his company, he told me that not having a degree might pose a problem getting me hired.
This is such a silly argument and the favorite of Libertarians. States are free to opt out of any of these programs should they want to. We don't want to hold a Constitutional Congress every time we decide to make a law affecting the nation as a whole.
I'm sure transportation authority isn't in the Constitution, but can you imagine what our highway system would look like if each state decided on its own where to build roads?
This had nothing to do with volunteer VS draftee forces, but in the way that our soldiers were being trained. I think it was Vietnam where the military started training soldiers to reflexively fire at their enemies and not run through the old pre-fire evaluations.
The good news is the insanely high rates of soldiers who never fired their rifles at the enemy plummeted. The bad news is the after-effects on the mental state of soldiers who have never really evaluated their decision to take a life.
This is why the mental problems with soldiers is so much higher with Vietnam vets than WWII vets.
You sound like a Republican. And, I bet you voted for Bush twice. So, please don't give the rest of us advice on selecting competent government officials.
I don't know his bio but you can bet that he had some issues with the community in his past. Intentionally or not, artists have a way of painting their own souls.

My all time favorite quest: "motivating" lazy peons with a blackjack in orc noob land!

YOU!

That would make it hard to enjoy a good D.C. conspiracy thriller if the entire theater is wrapped in aluminum foil.

...since we're going to need a super computer to run Office on Windows 7.
So, you're saying that's a MAN'S job?
It's impossible for that much water to just evaporate into thin air in 6000 years.

Jigawatt? Is that the energy required to produce one Jay-Z album?
And a delicious alcoholic beverage!
Already figured out. Don't you know the mob runs sanitation companies? They developed this technology to make it easy to dispose of their "problems."

Have you read any of his books? Don't judge him by the quality of Hollywood film adaptations.
