If this is all rigged, then please explain why the top 10% are for almost always for raising taxes and stronger social saftey nets. Do you think it's perhaps because making sure your customers have more money in their pockets makes that top 10% richer? Is there perhaps an economic correlation between a healthy economy and healthy, fed citizens? Henry Ford believed in paying a strong wage so that his workers could buy his product. It's a pretty basic concept that seems to have become lost to a lot of the 45% who always vote for tax cuts for the top 10% and the destruction of safety nets. Destroying safety nets and infrastructure destroys markets. And that has a much stronger drag on the economy than taxes could ever hope to.
Or is unwilling to raise taxes to the levels necessary to fund the government. You've forgotten that MASSIVE point. They eliminate Bush tax cuts and suddenly our problems get much smaller. Don't eliminate Bush tax cuts and we're never going to get out of the hole, no matter how much you cut.
Ever consider it's not politically correct so much as more interesting? As a writer I can tell you it's far more interesting to write about a half-black, half-Latino teen than what is Peter Parker originally? Boring? From Boringsville, USA? With a boring girlfriend? Who wants to write about that?
I wasn't trying to slag an MBA. I'm merely pointing out that it's a vocational degree. Other fields also have vocational degrees (many CS departments have become vocational and turned out plenty of undesirable employees). My point in talking about MBA = job, is that the entire point of a vocational degree is to train you for a job, so the headline should be no surprise. A college degree should first and foremost be teaching you how to think about deep subject matters. That is in fact what separates a college from a vocational school. If you think a college degree = a job, chances are you're getting a vocational degree and are going to be unemployed in a decade. People who can think deeply on a subject and translate that into real world work tend to always be employed.
Engineering is interesting. But the MBA is a vocational degree, so it doesn't really fit into the traditional college degree format. Perhaps in the economic downturn you need to not only prove you can think (Bachelors Degree), but prove you've received specialized instruction in your field (Masters)?
I'm seeing tons of junior jobs, as well. And this is one field where experience is trivial to get. Work on some projects. Build up a resume. It's trivial to show a potential employer you've got what it takes.
Yeah, that's why software developers are some of the highest paid workers in the US. If you're having trouble finding a programming job you are probably piss poor at it and should look for another line of work. There are hundreds of open jobs right now in my city.
People with one of the thousands of devices that don't support FLAC or that don't have 500GB of disk space? If I just wanted to listen to music in my living room I'd just pull out the CD.
If the kind of technology that George Lucas uses was 1/10th the cost then it would be used by good storytellers and he still wouldn't be able to film a TV series.
No, I find linguistics pretty useful. Especially since it has some pretty 1:1 relationships with computer programming. And Larry Wall was a linguist. And what kind of lead in is that?
Not scary that the predictions are wrong, but that populations in those locations are increasing. We'd better hope these climate change predictions continue being very, very wrong.
This is actually a good thing. If the energy use is at a few central locations then it's easier to implement energy savings. If every computer made was an energy hog it would be much harder to modify every single one to make them more energy efficient.
My company (www.uplogix.com) makes a device that does these two things for a wide range of advices. It's pretty damned useful. And it doesn't rely on the GUI maker adding useful logging of each step done in the GUI. You have the text session. You know exactly what the user did.
I can't explain the Mac people. Other than that they couldn't upgrade their systems to the latest mac OS because they couldn't get the budget, and apparently they couldn't install the latest JDK without hosing their system. Or something...
Your us vs. them attitude is interesting. Since you are both us and them.
I also think it's interesting you call it blackmail. This is the system of block grants favored by conservatives because it gives more local control and less national control. Thus it gives MORE power to the states.
I'd contend this system ends up costing more in the long run, and makes it far easier for states to misdirect funds. But the one thing it is not is the federal government exercising MORE control.
Yeah, because it's certainly not because the majority of men in their neighborhoods are unavailable for marriage due to being in prison.
If you could prove this holds true in a majority white upper-middle class college educated neighborhood, do let me know. Otherwise I'll keep blaming it on the other 1000 disadvantages life has doled out to inner city blacks.
Really? I have very close female and gay male relationships.
There's nothing new here. I still have a pay phone down my block. It's on a corner. You could drive over and no one would know. Cheaper than a TracFone. No phone to accidentally leave in your pocket. You used to be able to make a call while you pumped gas.
With children there's the concept of attachment. It's actually the opposite of what you would expect. A well attached child feels free to explore the world. They'll come back to their parent, but have increasingly prolonged play times away from them. The more stable and attached the child is, the more they can enjoy the world without their parent being constantly by their side.
If you can't let your spouse out of your sight, you're not really attached. If you have to close off your relationship to where you can't contact the outside world for weeks at a time, it's not a healthy relationship.

Well if you had no idea, obviously he doesn't.

2) Compliance logging

Yes.

My wife and I were together ten years (married eight) before we had children. I highly recommend it.
Yeah, because it's certainly not because the majority of men in their neighborhoods are unavailable for marriage due to being in prison.
If you could prove this holds true in a majority white upper-middle class college educated neighborhood, do let me know. Otherwise I'll keep blaming it on the other 1000 disadvantages life has doled out to inner city blacks.
Damn, I wish I hadn't commented on this conversation so I could mod you up.
Well based on the number of people on here who seem to think that men are doing the majority of the cheating it would point to that wouldn't it?
Really? I have very close female and gay male relationships.
