As a systems administrator, nothing frustrates me more than when a developer sends me an e-mail that says "install this".
When they do that send them the 'form' for such requests, just be sure that it has clear instructions, The form itself shouldn't be too hard to put together as many developers will, in the absence of other processes, put together a release plan based on previous companies, just pick the best one (or logically combine a couple of them).
Third, if you are asking me to install alpha or beta versions on a live system, it's usually a bad idea. I have no problem installing it on a test server or a VM, but I hate putting it on a production box.
As a system admin if you are making that decision then there is likely something institutionally wrong with your company's IT strategy. What to release and when is a QA/management issue in most places.
It's fairly easy to get a first post, the hard part is to get a +5 comment that's also a first post. I'm pretty sure that I've done it, but not in a while (didn't want to look to confirm)
Considering that the longest government note is 30 years, by your apparent standards all of Reagan's debt will be paid off in a couple of years. Conservatives should be happy that St Reagan has finally 'balanced his budget'.
I'm sure that there will be thousands of volunteers from both sexes, but the problem is that we don't know what the effect of lowered gravity, etc on pregnancy, growing children, or even the decades long affect on adult humans. I can't begin to describe the ethical, legal and moral problems presented by such a venture, a careful scientist would have 20 years of animal studies in such an environment alone before trying to gestate/raise a human child under such conditions. Oh wait.
When I was a kid, the McDonald's large was the size of their smallest adult cup today, and the largest sandwich you could buy was a single quarter pound of meat.
Plenty, but you might have to look a little as few retailers even have the space to sell both for anything but some domestics. Often the good beers are only sold in cans in places or near them, that prohibit glass containers but allow alcohol.
It's true that light and air are among the worst enemies of liquid bread and that canned is considered 'better' by a certain crowd. However, one could argue that a bottled beer is kept in the dark both in it's package and in the fridge. Also the cap isn't really that bad, there is a vacuum seal, that you even hear released, just like you do in a can. If drinking a beer I'd typically order a bottle if given a chance, however, BPA does worry me some, so I think I'd be sticking more closely to bottles the rare times that I drink beer.
You'd think that for something like infant formula bottles and such they'd use 'tried and tested' materials, if only for liability issues.
What does Sally Field have to do with this subject? When a person testifies before congress, they are invited or compelled. If you think that a guest from 30 some odd years ago was inappropriate, you should have complained then. However, over these last couple of decades plenty of accredited people have testified before congress about climate change, but the GOP has claimed them all to be liars in their day.
The second they use the cloak of science to push policy solutions they aren't scientists anymore
Where do you prove that?
Democrat delenda est
Democrat must be destroyed. Are you talking about ending Democracy? Why? Likely you're just another Republican who spends too much of their time listening to angry men on the radio.
Oh, I doubt if anyone would have handled any of it outside of containment, likely the bodies will be cremated, if they ain't already, aside from samples. As egg layers, those chicken are not normally used for food, it's fortunate as it seems that it's product isn't infected. The Wikipedia page claims that of the over 6 million birds tested, 1.7 million of them came up positive for it. Another outbreak had two human victims, thankfully they both fully recovered.
they are trying to protect themselves against the government attack.
Name one time in American History that the average citizen has been able to successfully defend themselves from civil authorities. The Branch Davidians? Ruby Ridge? The Whiskey Rebellion? Just holding a gun at the wrong time is often called 'suicide by cop'. The American Revolution and the Civil War ware both revolts of the local civil authority against the wishes of many of it's constituents.
Londoner not looking forward to public transport soon
I lived in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics and everyone predicted a traffic nightmare, but the reality couldn't be farther from the truth. Traffic was a breeze. Many workers took vacations, some to volunteer, others to watch, but many left town altogether. The out-of-towners hit the public transit a little hard, but the only stations really overcrowded were the ones closest to the venues. While it's likely that your fears are misguided, in the end it might be the perfect time to rent a car and get to know the surface streets of London a little better.
Is it that hard to read a summary of the health insurance affordability act (i.e. Obameycare)? Already no child can be denied health insurance coverage due to a pre-existing condition and starting in 2014 that protection will be extended to all adults. It seems that the only way a person will be able to be denied coverage is if the company doesn't want to sell insurance in that area any more. Furthermore the minimum standard coverage will allow a good deal of price shopping among the plans available from the state based exchanges. Finally caps are starting this year on the medical-loss-ratio which specify that a minimum amount must be spent on actual health care, with the balance to be return to the policy holder.
When you're a liar, you're projecting a false self as a problem solving tool. This forces you to keep multiple versions of reality in your head.
Actually lying doesn't 'make' you do anything. The reason why most liars are easy to spot is that they tend to be inconsistent. You'll also find that once they are confronted with their lies, most often they'll either 'lie more' or get angry. An honest man is generally concerned with offering a consistent narrative, a liar only begins to care when their ass is on the line. Fortunately for those looking for the truth, a dishonest man can be shown as such through ancillary activities even when they careful with their 'main story'.
That would explain why the I couldn't find another TV like the one I had in the 90's with audio leveling. I thought that was the best feature ever, and I didn't understand why I couldn't find it when shopping for my next TV.
Now if they can only do something about all the sounds they add into commercials to get your attention. Many commercials are peppered with random door bell and phone rings, some even now 'feature' that buzzing sound of a phone on mute.
The reason why TARP passed was because without it we would have fallen into the Great Depression II. The real trouble is that the many of the same people who foam at the mouth about TARP are also somehow think that softening the already weak banking regulations more would work as a stimulus. The simple fact is that the Republican House that was elected in the 2010 has worked hard to keep banks 'too big to fail'. Sure to a lessor extent the Dems are also to blame, but I'd argue that it's just political Darwinism, where only the well financed survive.
I became a Democrat in 2000 not because I was 'in love' with them, but as I thought that the GOP was so utterly broken that the only real choice was the Democratic Party. My old party's ongoing reliance on seemingly conflicting wedge issues (i.e. smaller government that regulates abortion access, etc), unwillingness to make political comprises, party messaging that's created on right wing talk radio, institutionalized voter suppression efforts, and many more reasons convince me that continuing to vote/support Democratic is the right choice.
To create a choice for political parties you should support 'instant runoff voting', from what I understand some democratic leaders already support such a choice. If it's made a campaign issue that could be voted for in the primaries, then it might come to fruition.
I did. Some results that claim that more homeless people are fat, but another article claimed that in very specific comparisons fat people did live longer, but there's a catch:
Obese patients with heart disease do better and live longer than leaner patients with the same severity of disease, according to a study published last week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
So, it's better to eat your way to a heart attack rather than having a disease weaken your heart.
All the press reporting in the US takes the military at their word, and casualties are never identified as "collateral damage", i.e. innocent bystanders.
I don't believe that to be true, I've head of many admissions from the pentagon that they have caused collateral damage. Sure they sometimes seem to hem and haw a little, but claiming what you do is just another form of propaganda.
We know quite a bit about the moon. It's composition is eerily similar to the earths crust...The moon is not likely a very resource rich rock.
The Earth has an active core and much more of that 'resource robbing' gravity, yet somehow there manages to be a fair bit of even the heaviest resources available from the surface. I've heard theories that asteroid strikes liquefy the natural gold mixed in low concentration in the crust and creates veins as it cools. Such strikes on the moon are plainly obvious and without an atmosphere it's likely has had bigger impacts.
Only a few years ago we spent $79 million dollars on a mission to estimate the amount of water on the moon by bombing it at a single spot, do you really think that we know that much about it? The entire theory that the moon is made up of crust material is based on a rock found by astronauts with some short training as geologists and very little time.
However, a concentrated Nickel-Iron asteroid as one other poster mentioned could be very lucrative.
At $8/pound for nickel, and $177/ton for iron, I don't understand why you'd think that. Whereas, I'm certain that eventually we'll find city size 'nuggets' of gold and diamond bigger than a human head in the asteroid belt, the cost of finding, mining and shipping it back will be too much money even at today's prices (that's what the NASA report states). However, even the presence of such a find would likely collapse the gold market. Eventually, I suspect that star ship hulls will be made of (or coated with) a gold alloy due to it's shielding use. Chances are that Tritium (hydrogen 3) will be the best material to incur the costs and there is allegedly plenty of it on the moon.
We barely know anything about what's available on the moon. However, as the moon has millions of years of asteroid strikes and as it doesn't have an atmosphere to burn things up, more of their material is likely concentrated where they landed, I suspect that the riches are just waiting to be stumbled upon.
It might take years of exploration to find a great asteroid as we know even less about them and how to get to them than the moon. Gravity on the moon is very, very weak and launching is fairly easy in terms of fuel and as 'step 2' of their plan is move the target to orbit the moon, it might even be 'cheaper'. The fact that it has gravity is a bonus as everything that we know about mining and processing minerals is rooted by a gravity well, and a moon colony could produce fuel and cargo containers.
That being said, the effort to find and move asteroids is certainly a worthwhile skill, but it'd be far more likely profitable to mine the moon.
The adult citizens should be intelligent enough to realize the rumors are just lies, and develop skepticism about the things they read.
After a while one would think that people would stop watching fictionalized reports, but Fox News and talk radio proves that there will always be a market for yellow journalism no matter how discredited they may become. However the Chinese leaders should understand that one of the reasons why rumors spread so intensely is a serious lack of objective non-government infotainment that would keep the public informed if/when the people again try to rise up for democracy. The quick spread of such rumors might even show that it's expected, if not hoped.
Background checks that will include posting on public forums, likely even ones which used aliases. Thanks to third party tracking cookies many are already able to match up people with their 'anonymous', eventually someone will monetize it by allowing searches through decades of posting.
Since when can a CORPORATION perform seizures of private property???
Maybe the warrant was written that way, or perhaps the authorities used them as specialists. However, as tow truck drivers seize private property every day, I suspect that it's not as big of a hurdle as you believe.
