Say what you will, but numerous mine fires tell any reasonable person that there is a cost to excavation. Even if you're only creating bigger holes a mile or more (you think) under the earth, there will be a cost to pay for it. Seems to be small quakes for now, maybe it will stay that way.
Some of us have evolved beyond such primitive territorial quarrels...If they can't put in the effort to bury their grandparents' feuds for the greater good, then why should we be putting any effort into helping them ?
Others of us realize that we shouldn't hang a people for the political decisions of a simple majority or less.
Thanks in part to the Robert's Court, if I had a hundreds of million dollars to support politicians, I have the same power over our government as Wall Street and the Koch brothers.
This is an Obama administration fashion statement for rich lefties
No, it's the reactionary media doing what it always does, feed lies and distortions to people just like you. Did you even once look up 'Fisker Nina'; that answer would be very telling.
It's not surprising, you'all did the same thing with Clinton (and her husband) was President in the 90's. The GOP always seems to think that 'they win' when the American middle class loses, sad really.
Yes, on our production servers java does dominate the CPU load. Does so pretty much overwhelmingly, however it's the designed capacity. If you want to be a fan boy or comic book guy type, who cries about 'the best' or 'the worst' of known arguments every time a subject comes up, you can't be stopped. However, it should be acknowledged that all you're really adding are obviously well practiced taunts. Are you trying to dumb down Slashdot on purpose? Or is it just your nature?
The real issue is traffic, the article leads me to believe that the back end data is getting crushed by old records which don't usually get instantiated. They try to downplay it, but the real problem is the mass exodus. I bet the many old customers are going back though old statements and printing them in advance of a transfer. I've developed statements systems for another bank, they don't behave well when too many people rip through all of their old statements at once. There usually are even firewalls that might have capacity issues.
I can understand why they are trying to downplay this, as herd of customers preparing to leave is an embarrassment, but my 20/20 hindsight tells me that it should have been anticipated. Maybe it was a little, but I can't imagine that IT was brought in much before they announced what I see to be a bone-headed move to get out of retail banking.
Oh, yea, to stay on topic, sometimes people make mistakes. However, it's spelling issue, but a word choice, I don't think it's wrong. Odd maybe in it's use, but not wrong. Did you even look up Divulge before you before you commented, just to check the meaning. I did.
To disclose or reveal (something private, secret, or previously unknown).
You don't feel an (at least 7.5) earthquake while driving, so unless the coming one is really strong, imho it doesn't make any sense to stop the train.
One way or another, you'd feel differently about driving if they road suddenly wasn't there. Also, I'm sure that even in CA, trains stop asap in an earthquake.
While I've owned an iPhone for the last 4 years, considering that I'm a Java developer with an MCSE, I'm hardly an 'Apple zealot'.
This mirrors the kneejerk reaction here to anyone who vaguely praises Microsoft
We're not all seventeen year olds with that charmingly black and white adolescent world view.
Pot calling the kettle black, eh? Seriously, how are you exploring a complex narrative? Do you honestly think that more snarkyness somehow proves that you're 'better than others'? Ha!
This news is important to the true believers in the Way of Steve, of course...
The only people who get a better amount of satisfaction from an Apple launch than those looking to buy that product, are the trolls who think that they contribute to a rational discussion with blanket insults about them.
he wont be collecting an 8-digit severance package when he's tossed out of office next year.
Actually, just the pension for a long term Senator is pretty good, and many make 'extra' money working (those cursed) company boards and with speaker fees. It might take a couple of years, but with some hard 'work' he could eventually see a 9-digit total compensation.
Do you know what the best forms of population control that isn't some Faustian bargain? A larger middle class, health care as a human right, and education.
I'd continue with the obvious Simpson's meme, but after writing it, I'm finding that I'm interesting in finding out which natural predator would work best for many consider pests. From what I hear, hawks are pretty good with pigeons. I'd guess installing a few nests in some of the high rises (non- beach facing, and without a nearby terrace), maybe we could find a natural balance. Or will the hawks start coming after your kid's hot dog for the easy meal?
What we need to do is find a natural predator for the pigeons, that is besides kids with alka-seltser tablets, they don't seem to be doing their job too well at that; Which is a good thing as animal cruelty is a sort of predicate to serial killers. May I suggest that we introduce the Bolivian tree lizard to our ecosystem, as it likes to eat the common pigeon, or at that's what I learned from the Principal of Springfield Elementary.
Social security is not 'unearned income', people pay taxes throughout their lives to fund it. Sure the feds sold a lot of T-bills to the system to finance the Bush tax cuts (and Reagan's for that matter), but it's hardly 'unearned'. Many in the GOP say that in order to 'preserve' SS we need to raise the retirement age, but I've been paying into the system since I was 16 years old and those payments were based on a 65 yo retirement age. I have no idea why the boomers in the GOP think that forcing my generation to put off retirement so that they might be able to keep the Bush tax cuts, is a fair proposition. This is why Al Gore was talking about putting SS funds 'in a lock box', which sadly reactionaries made into a running gag.
Unearned income is dividends from stock companies and capital gains, why you try to call SS unearned is a narrative you should explain. Sure the first seniors who benefited didn't pay into it, but that was like 70 years ago (they also didn't see the same sort of benefits). SS disability is a slightly different beast, as even an 18 yo with MS could collect, but I'd rather not have them in the streets, maybe you would, but you should be honest about the affect on society.
The simple fact is that there is a wide difference between the top tax rates of 'earned' and 'unearned' income' (the latter taxed at less than half the former) has created bubbles in housing, stocks and art as investors chase 'tax advantages'. If we level them all out, the top rate would be less than 30% even if we balance the budget on it, including money to pay back the debt the GOP (with some help from the dems) ran on the national credit card.
Even if one were able to isolate the drug dealers devices (big if there), what would you do with the information? Hand it over to the Mexican authorities would make the most sense, but I doubt very much if any of it would be actionable as 'random file sent by unknown sources likely wouldn't stand up (even) in Mexican court, assuming that they could arrest them.

Ah, the libertarian 'starve the farmer so that he'll work harder' approach to labor relations.
But, but, I got all of my shit in this universe, what if they break it?

Sounds more like reactionary garbage from a once grand newspaper sullied by it's new ownership.
The DOE loan is for the Nina, it'll be built in An shutdown Saturn plant in Delaware. Not the Karma.
"somebody tried that a long time ago and it wasn't worth it" doesn't necessarily prove anything.
Unless there is some change in technology or technique, past failures are a good indicator of continued inability.

It's obvious to me that they are missing the required 'tri-corner' hats. Why should they be taken seriously if they can't follow the rules?
Bizarrely, if it weren't for the tactics of some poorly trained or supervised police it wouldn't be getting any notice at all.

The high stakes game of finding your Steve Jobs isn't cheap.
Steve Jobs was not 'found' by a corporate board, but he was fired by one.

Also, a large portion of this bonus money goes straight into the government purse.
Nope, at least in the U.S., unearned income is taxed at a 15% thanks to the Bush tax cuts. Also, 'unearned income' includes the trader's bonus money.

...start taking down the EVIL guys, such as the drug cartels.
How exactly? I really doubt if a DOS would do it, or do you expect these 'super hackers' to go rambo?
