male, 22, proud owner of a Senseo Coffee maker, and I make a mean omelette. Willing to move on a whim, stay home with the kids, whilst you 'bring home the bacon'. i know how to iron, clean, and my World of Warcraft character can cook like the dickens. heck, i'll even throw in here that i'm an aspiring writer, philosopher, and telecommunication mogul. but thats neither here nor there. Marry me.
I'm actually an employee, and let me tell you that the inventory system in place is pure junk. Although I'm sure we'd all love a new wonderful technology to help take care of the current problem(and it is a problem for productivity and thus price of product), we're definately doing better than 60% right now, I'd say closer to 80%. But is that really good enough for the world's number one retailer? I, and every single one of my fellow employees and managers, don't think so.
Perhaps another poster can shed some more educated light on my idea, but what I was thinking was there could be some sort of law for American companies that they would have to have the same minimum wage type laws apply to them even with internationally based employees. I think I'm onto something here, but I don't know enough about the laws, the businesses, or anything else for that matter. Any expansion on my idea, complete reworking of it, or utter destruction of my idea is welcome.
There are an incredible amount of people out there not having english as their primary or even as an available language. Think India, China, and every other nation increasing in population, industrialization, and business strength. The European nations are collectively losing population and therefore strength of workforce and consumer power. I have more in my mind, but I've got work to do, so I'll leave this post at this. Cheers.
I think that its actually more difficult because of the lack of atmospheric pressure. Even with a massive parachute it'd still plummet like a rock without a parachute. It could also have something to do with cargo space or something. Just throwing some ideas out there.:)
Now, I haven't taken the time to read all the other replies, but it does sound to me that its not an addiction you have, but rather a chemical dependency that you've developed. If you are serious about getting rid of it, you should definately speak to a doctor because if a caffeine dependency is anything like more infamous dependencies then just trying to quit on your own could have some very negative side effects.
A lifetime lease of some office space, filled out with weekly upgraded or replaced UGM's, and all the networking gear needed for however many systems can comfortably fit. Don't even have to have rich friends for this one, just maybe a bus pass for them to get to this office space.
At least thats what's on my christmas list this year.
I'm willing to bet you actually do know the spelling of the movie. Or at the very least know how to find the spelling, considering the vast amounts of information you have access to.:-)
So your wife's "skill" at beauty extends to other categories that are not necessarily related.
Whether you meant it or not, only thing that i could think of was a D&D weekend my friends and I had a few years ago. We decided to have some fun and one of the "skill checks" was in fact "beauty". Where its similarly used as Charisma, but only affected with characters of the opposite sex. Just brought back some memories that made me laugh fairly well, sorry co-workers,/. did it, not me.
Your local community college invariably offers foreign language instruct at a reasonable cost. Check it out. Oh, and don't buy your text book from the college bookstore, utilize e-bay and amazon if you possibly can.
BAH! I neglected to indicate that it is a two-way translaltor, half the book starts English and gives you Japanese, other half starts Japanese and provides English equivalent.
I work with a Japanese woman who came here to the US, and one of the first conversations we had was about how she boned up on English before coming here. Coming from that tech savvy island, she had alot of gadgets to choose from and tried quite a few. In the end, though, she chose one and I still see her refer to it alot. What is it, you ask? Webster's Japanese-English Paperback Translator. Yes, thats right, from someone who knows someone who has gone through the trials of this very problem, the best handheld device is indeed a book.
However, I'm guessing that if you do enough runs, you can look at the numbers and come up with a simple algorithm that would give fairly reasonable results.
good luck here, personally i don't want a "simple" version of the output, be just like what can currently be done in a simulation game, i want the steroid-NASA version, thanks.
Sorry for the nitpicking, but I'm sure you meant Fe, as in iron, rather that FE which would be Fluorine + some unknown to this point element. The way its stated now certainly makes for some interesting possibilities in my own mind, but Fe just makes more sense.:)
, and everything then suggests that intelligence should be abundant but we've found no sign of it other than ourselves,
not that I agree with the argument, but for the sake of said argument, this is but only an opinion. There are plenty others that can, and i'm sure will if asked, give examples of signs of other intelligent life. Again, I don't necessarily adopt that position, but figured I'd point that out.

As the Cerulian Babe Ruth hits a moonshot out of the galaxy!
Its customary in intergalactic baseball to throw the homerun balls hit by the other team back onto the playfield. So, why haven't we yet?

1. When was it launched?
2. What is its purpose?

yes it works
You mean it can fly? What's its load capacity, top speed, range? Cooooool.

Where do I apply?
You cannot hide from Miss Cleo when she picks your name randomly from a phone book.
Thank god I'm unlisted. *shudders*
Gandalf dies!
Talk about fucking Tolkien's corpse with a 2x4! wtf! This, imo, makes RotK the worst move EVER.
That, my friend, ALL of that, is a matter of perception and opinion.

CC this to your congressperson.

(other things, like FE also scavenge oxygen).

Crafty, my good soldier.
Crafty indeed.
I'm sorry, but where am I supposed to hack the planet at? sharp? pound? number? hash? i always thought they did it at the train station.
