I'm a software engineer, and it took me a little time to 'get' the '+' button iOS uses everywhere, no one noticed as I had the original iPhone. I had no one to ask, as an often early tech adapter, I'm used to it. The people tested are amongst the last adapters with the least peer interaction with the technology, also it's sort of like stacking the deck as a certain percentage of the elderly 'start with' cognition problems.
It's only market forces that are keeping these skilled workers in squalor, if they weren't making iPads they'd be making TVs for Walmart. The most telling thing about China is that organized labor (that isn't just an organ of the state) could help jump start a large middle class, but it won't happen as long as the 'communists' are still in power.
I know a guy who became known by the nickname 'Skippy' and hated it. Plenty of seemingly well minded people told him to 'get used to it' or 'just go with it'. He worked on it, and eventually many stopped even in private conversations to which he wasn't a party. It was sad on some levels that a mentally challenged man have to make such an effort to reclaim his very name from what would be assigned to him by a random fool at the wrong time. I haven't seen him in years, or been around the same groups that he traveled, but I'm sure that some still call him 'Skippy' despite his objections to it.
Nicknames are that sticky. Some do it out of spite, because they can; sort of the way some rednecks relish jokes that use 'the n-word'; others use them out of habit even after promising not. I'm not sure of the origins of septic, but I suspect that it's use had a lot to do with 8 years of Bush. Likely its already starting to fall out of favor, but there has yet to be a 'cooler' word. The reason why such a language moves in such a fashion is that it's playful, most don't really hold any true spite. However, there is a real competitiveness to it and it's not likely to be 'flattering', perhaps a play on the fact that 'we' can't take a joke.
You should know that there were people who thought that the federal highway system was a waste of money too. Sewers, and subways also had their detractors (still do). People never change, tea party, John Birch, know nothings, the names change but some people will always fight the future.
One might also note that pipelines like it might just as easily be good for 'regular' gas stations. I'd guess that keeping the delivery trucks off the road could be a real cost/environment savings (once the pipeline has been in place for 10 or 15 years)
Microsoft did the same thing, they 'ruined' the browser business by giving away IE, and an email client, newsreader, etc. As iOS (and Android for that matter) expands it's core functionality, there will of course be applications which no longer find a market. It's not the first time and won't be the last.
While it shouldn't be confusing, do you have it running as some sort of 'honey pot', or are you just a bit hoarder?
One of the things that people often tout about Linux is it's strong security model; however, I'll believe it's a true advantage when I even see a majority of system admins avoid the use of root for day to day activities/ process users.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The delegated powers includes laws written for the 'general welfare'. Every President, including George Washington, Madison, et al. have used the General Welfare clause. It's the basis of most federal power since the beginning, and why the framers 'snuck it in' and why they didn't close 'the big loop hole' in the Bill of Rights.
It's true that neither congress nor the Supreme Court hasn't even attempted to define the term, but the Constitution defines a very liberal grandfather clause. Perhaps you think the framers intended to lock out the executive office the children of military leaders (like McCain), overseas businessmen, etc, but that's just stupid, don't you see why.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,
McCain was born on a U.S. Military base, and likely millions of Americans have been born overseas to otherwise normal everyday Americans; Simply because their mother traveled while pregnant are all of these citizens unable to become President? Could one's foreign deployment prevent your progeny from leadership at the White House? Did the framers intend that some of the children of diplomats couldn't be the Commander In Chief?
No of course not, it's silly, only one American parent makes one a natural born citizen. Claiming that the left would make a similar noise is simply not true, as the facts of McCain's birth was used to point out the silliness of birtherism during the 2008 election; do you pay attention at all. Right wing talk radio has spent years pushing this nonsense, people like you should find other sources of information.
While both political parties are beholden to them, the Republican party has collected the voter base that is most willing to push a corporate welfare platform.
Personally, I feel good about this. I wanted him Bin Laden dead, the President I helped put in the White House made it happen in a focused limited (dare I say) wildly successful engagement.
Sure, if anything the death of Bin Laden could help fuel an organized attack or even a solo rampage, but we've hunted that man for too long for this not to feel really good. Perhaps you expect that all problems can only be solved with some broad (and unpractical) sweep of the brush, but effective people know that progress must be made within existing frameworks and successes marked with celebration.
The reason why this is so novel is not the power of the laser, but it's size, timing and durability. It'll be interesting to see if NASCAR allows it, as efficiency is a big part of winning that closely regulated league.
From tfa:
The laser is not strong enough to light the leanest fuel mixtures with a single pulse. By using several 800-picosecond-long pulses, however, they can inject enough energy to ignite the mixture completely.
A commercial automotive engine will require 60 Hz (or pulse trains per second), Taira says. He has already tested the new dual-beam laser at 100 Hz. The team is also at work on a three-beam laser that will enable even faster and more uniform combustion.
Perhaps they just got jealous about how much Google knows about everyone?
I smell class action lawsuit that might actually benefit me a tiny, tiny amount (likely a rebate), but there is more money for a quick filing lawyer. I'm sure that there are many ambulances going un-chased with the stampede to cash in on this one.
So, then you might call the original xbox 'distinctive' because of it's online content, which still remains as a 'distinct' advantage?
I'll make the bold guess that they are working on a touchless interface for their tablet. If not then they should be working on extending the kinects tech; as Microsoft hasn't done anything but break even on the gaming division, it might make the whole enterprise worth while.
Without unions there wouldn't (won't be?) be a blue collar middle class (teachers, cops, construction or civil workers). Their kids become the white collar middle class. Duh.
Please note that 'end the Bush era tax cuts' is missing from your list. Bush pushed that claiming that it would create millions of new jobs. However, even after 7 years of 'the Bush Economic miracle', we net lost a half a million jobs. All it did was cut trillions from revenues, at a time when that same administration ran up the deficit with Medicare (Drug company) give-a-ways and two wars funded entirely with 'emergency spending'.
I had to look up 'chemtrails', when I found a site that described them. Apparently, some are attaching sinister plots to water vapor trails from jet engines. From that site, I've pasted below likely the most 'telling' part of the tale:
I experienced that wake-up call in February of 1998. I had taken my 35 mm camera with me to the monthly meeting of the Orange County Chapter of the American Society of Dowsers and after the meeting, I had stopped off at a supermarket. After getting out of the car, I photographed for the very first time, the strange looking "contrails" that William Thomas had been describing on the Art Bell radio program a couple of weeks earlier.
Please get a grip on the scope of the problem before making wild assumptions about backup power!
I figured it was more than the ideas that I had, but I might have been 'nicer' in the question. Thank you for your seemingly informed opinion, meaning that there are no links but it (really, really) sounds like an expert opinion.
However, what you seem to be saying is that for an isolated plant with failed (town sized) emergency generators, there is no backup that would prevent a meltdown; all those batteries are only for the instrument panels so that they can watch it happen for the fist 4 or 8 hours.
How do we get enough power to an isolated plant?
Should nuclear power plants even be brought down all at once? If they had dropped the reactors one at a time, rather than all at once, clearly this wouldn't have happened. Did they do so knowing they had lost external power?
How small would the plant have to be that we could ship enough power to cool it in an emergency?
My office building has one. I'll be that there are plenty of them around there.
I've participated in data center disaster planning.
The primary reason for a battery backup is those few seconds between power outage and the generators coming up to full power. The only reason to have 8 hours of power in batteries is to give you time to replace the generators if they fail. If they didn't have a plan to send in generators, they might as well have saved a bunch of money and bought a smaller battery array.
If they could indeed have found the proper generators, then they would have had to find a helicopter or two to carry them over there, then rig it up, then fuel it up
Yea, that sounds kinda tough, perhaps they were right to apparently not even try.
Many of those countries have 'long form names' which like those who call "America", calling it "Mexico" is incorrect, you should refer to it as the "United Mexican States". "Republic of Costa Rica", "Republic of Nicaragua", etc Also, I'm sure that you're insulting someone by using the English spellings. It's called a nickname, Skippy.
Yup, maybe next year they could be really clever and not do anything at all. However, I did kinda like the mad lib function, sorta wish that there was more to it.

they select as spokespeople for the opposition the nuts rather than the reasonable people.
Really, do you think that today's cable news feature reasonable people?

Meh, that was exactly my point.
Still have the trojan code, too...

So, facebook is supposed to be an example of default expected privacy? God, I hope not.
