Call me a skeptic. Mother Nature will do what she damn well pleases with this planet and doesn't give a rip about us humans. 99.5% of all life on this planet has gone extinct and the other.5% will including us. A good old fashioned volcanic eruption like Mt. Tambora in 1815 will cause "climate change". That was called the year without a summer in 1816. I am not so vain as to think we can do anything to this planet that she will even notice, short of a full and total nuclear exchange. Even then I'm certain that a portion of the ocean life won't even notice that anything has happened and will continue to live, evolve & go extinct as Mother Nature sees fit. As time marches on we will see cooling cycles and warming cycles and a year to year comparison is irrelevant, or as relevant as comparing sports teams team stats year after year. Rules changes and personnel changes will alter the numbers significantly. For those of you still firmly on the "global warming" bandwagon then read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... or this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... either one will confirm your belief or refute your belief.
My fiance is currently living in the Netherlands and they switched off of CEDST last weekend, and here in the US we just switched from EDST. I have few problems mentally calculating time differences as I had to do it constantly when I was assigned to Korea in the military in the medical field...watching the docs come in in the middle of the night for a mandatory conference call with the CDC (we used experimental STD drugs) or with Medical Command HQ (in San Antonio TX) was fun. They had no clue what time their meetings were, so we had to learn quickly as our command and South Korea did not observe DST. My fiance still has trouble with the time shift, so she will tell me "call me at X" knowing I can figure this out. I will be glad when her visa goes through so I don't have to timeshift for a chance to Skype with her and the 4 times a year I have to recalculate for a week or two our time difference.
1 or 2 phones? I worked as a manager for an apartment building as a favor for a friend a couple of years ago. I had one apartment that all 3 tenants are on public assistance of one form or another. I quit counting and tracking the phones at 6. As a rule I do not answer numbers I do not know, since I do not have a landline I get robocalls and other cold calls. They got angry that "I never answered my phone" I told them to give me one or two numbers and I will store them and answer you. "But I can't be bothered with grabbing the right phone." They moved out after their lease was up to my (and my friend's) relief.
If the Dept. of Labor really wanted to punish this company, hint: It's obvious they don't with a $3500 fine. DoL would immediately terminate any visas they currently possess and bar them from having for any visas for a period of time, say one year and force them to go through the entire process as if they were a new company requesting visas. Jailing the executives is a good idea but won't stop the next CEO, CHRO, or any other "CO" from doing the exact same thing, only making sure they don't make the same mistakes the former "CO's" made as they are sitting in the Federal country club with barbed wire fencing. Yes, a few decent foreign nationals on visas will have to go home, but perhaps it's a favor so they aren't the next victims, or more accurately do not participate in the exploitation of the next bunch they bring in.
You are correct. In my town ALL taxi companies are owned by one group. There are about a dozen cab companies, all different names all different numbers. They all go to the same switchboard in the same office. Oh, to make it look good there is a "taxi board" made up of representatives from all the different companies who "approve" new taxi companies coming into the community, and each company has a different post office box, but all the taxis are repaired in the same garage, and all the reps work in the same office. The local government knows it and doesn't care. It's also convenient when a driver acts badly and the company gets sued. It limits the damage to that little piece of the pie. A few companies have gone "bankrupt" over lawsuits, the drivers for that "company" just borrow a different cab until their cab has the name of another company on the side. I know all this because a friend worked for a private ambulance service owned by the same company (medicare/insurance money$$$) and a few acquaintances over the years who were cabbies.
At least in the US you are correct. There was a story recently about a guy working a night job as a pizza delivery guy to make some extra money. He had a wreck, the insurance company found out the accident happened while he was delivering pizzas and immediately cancelled his policy for using his personal auto for commercial purposes. So since he was cancelled any company he tried to get insurance with now puts him into the "high risk pool" for 3-5 years, effectively doubling his premiums.
Perhaps someone older than me remembers this, for all who believe their guy is "innocent" In the 1977s a bill was crafted in such a way that if a lawmaker voted against it, the Congress still got their far above average "cost of living" raise for "serving" in Congress, meanwhile told the masses back home "I voted against that huge raise..." of course the bill was "defeated" soundly and Congress got their raise. http://library.cqpress.com/cqa...
As an aside, look at your own guy/gal, there's a good chance they were serving then, that was about 37 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
I worked for 11 years as a line technician for a mid size cable company, during that time the field teams were trained in sales but never mentioned after training. I left that company and after a couple of years decided to go into customer service for Charter. their metrics are the same 20% of your call is attempting to upsell. Nowhere in the manual does it explain how to upsell to a user is screaming "You cut off my f*ck!ng Monday Night Football" or "I want my f*ck!ng porn g0dd@mn!t" After a few weeks and carrying a bottle of antacid tablets in my bag and several 80% scores on my metrics (conveniently the minimum passing is 85%) I decided to leave and go back into the IT field. Oh another jewel that most customers don't know....every call is recorded and probably half are reviewed every day, but you will never get your hands on that recording, intellectual property of Charter.
If Israel disarmed unilaterally, every country you mentioned would turn like a pack of dogs and attack. None of those countries gives two figs about the US. They know they their dictator du jour will still get his money from the US while the US ambassador is saying "Don't go kill the Israelis they are nice disarmed folks." The UN would pass 7 resolutions condemning each country for attacking Israel but do absolutely nothing else. Iran would pump even more arms and cash into the Islamist groups as they crawled over the borders, plus would provide air support of a sort since the IDF air force would no longer kick them out of the sky. Once every Israeli was dead, then they would turn on each other to decide who would win the land grab. At that point the entire Middle East would tell the EU, UN & US to sod off and proceed with whatever brand of religion they decide to inflict on the world through warfare and terrorism. By the way if you think I am full of the usual/. noise go find a refugee from that area and LISTEN to them. I have listened to several Christians who have fled from Gaza & Israel plus Palastine, they will tell you nearly word for word what I just wrote.
On the flip side, how many hours were wasted the could have been put to better use? Studying Maths or computers or foreign languages or Music or Science or Drama, or even spent at football or wrestling practice? How many trebuchets were not built because the teen-agers were busy playing games? How many young men were not Eagle Scouts? How many snow forts or tree houses were left empty, or even not built in the first place?
Well I was introduced to D&D on a service weekend for Order of the Arrow (www.oa-bsa.org) a scoutmaster was our DM and the guy who help me roll up my dwarf was an Eagle Scout. A few years later I was also awarded my Eagle Scout. We all were leaders in their troops, schools, churches, & communities. Your stereotype of pasty-faced boys who never ventured outside is flat wrong...in 1979
I work for a monitoring team. We are 24/7 and I can guarantee you from experience this is a terrible idea. The first time the servers drop out of the monitoring suppression and suddenly a half dozen alarms are going off because your automated server program decided to drag down a series of other servers, or kill the switches at the office I get to call you at 4AM you are going to wonder why you didn't just catch a nap and go back in. Anytime we get an e-mail from a "Senior Sever Manager" stating that "a change will be made this weekend at 2AM but will not affect system uptime," we note in in our shift logs because as sure as we are sitting there Murphy will creep up and jump on that managers back and chew until someone can beat him off. Usually to minimize the damage to our team, we will politely e-mail that manager and ask exactly what systems and what times will this happen as a warning that we really do not want to have to go through the late night procedures to alert someone. Most managers who have experience will actually send us a separate e-mail saying "server XYZ123 will be down from 1AM to 3AM, if we get it up sooner we will call to verify it is up on your end." We monitor 10 different companies of all sizes from a single server room to worldwide systems, and Murphy is a board member for every one and always gets a vote.
you dont understand.. in the US, this is how most of the smaller towns get their money. they pay a single patrol car to sit on their section of highway all day and pull people over for speeding. a speeding ticket in the us is up to 300$ in some places. noone ever gets pulled over for speeding in large cities because it is a waste of time. the whole speeding ticket system is a scam that has absolutely nothing to do with safety.(at least on highways).
Not sure (or care) what "large city" you live in where no one gets a ticket. I live in the largest city in my state which is in the top 30 populous cities in the nation. Our police force has several officers in modified sports cars whose only job is to write tickets, almost exclusively on the interstate system. These guys are so infamous that the local paper did a Sunday feature on the top ticket writer, after he pulled over a local DJ for speeding and the DJ told everyone the officer acted like an arrogant jerk while writing the ticket. The police officer filed suit against the DJ and it was never heard in court. The officer bragged about the number of tickets he wrote in a year which was well above 1000. He also admitted he let his "brothers in blue" get a pass as they were driving 20+ MPH over the limit on the same interstates, according to the speed gun the reporter rented for the story. The fines start at $50 plus court costs so do the math. So that tinted out Dodge Charger or IROC Camaro might be one of our officers about to turn on all the hidden lights.
I'm kinda glad I am NOT living in your country. Laws here specifically state that he must not.
I still change the lock as one of the first actions when I move into a new apartment.
Don't know where "your country" is, but in the US I used to manage an apartment building. Lease stated if you change the lock the management gets a key. No key = breach of lease and grounds for eviction, specifically stated in lease. Also except for emergencies management must provide minimum 48 hours notice to enter apartment. No 48 hours = no entry, specifically stated in lease as well. It cuts both ways in my state. We changed locks as a matter of course after a move out.
A professional American football team used to hold a "golf day" at a country club, mostly for fans to watch. Consistently the kickers would win the longest drive competition each year, but were among the worst players as far as scoring. The reason they won the longest drive was the same reason they were kickers, repeating the same motion over and over with accuracy. That said it proves the your point, as the quarterbacks do the same thing more or less only they do it with their arms.
It's not fun when trucks and buses are passing *you*
Who cares?
The police officer that will pull you over for driving too slow for conditions. It is a real charge in my state and yes you will get to stand in line in traffic court with the 19 year old that got cited for 20 over the limit.
A good number of automobiles are. (Either that or in (Ontario) Canada.)
When did Ontario Canada become part of the USA? I believe the Provincial Legislature & Canadian Parliament plus the 300,000 residents around Windsor would take a great deal of exception to that.
My fiancee has a hard copy with all my passwords, PINs & usernames in a strongbox in a sealed envelope. I have hers in the same in my strongbox. If anything happens to either of us, the other one can move forward with anything that might be password protected. Yes we update regularly since passwords change (or they should). Why couldn't Mum write it down somewhere? I have a friend from high school who died a few years ago. His widow modified his FB page to be the page for the scholarship foundation created in his honor. She had the pw and posted that she was going to change the page.
It has been a few (20+) years since I worked at Radio Shack, but I think CompUSA was owned by Tandy Corp.
And yes the 2 Franchise Stores were consistently the top 2 performers in our district. Why you ask?
Because they paid their employees hourly not commission (by law we had to make minimum wage) and
both owners we old techies who personally trained the staff on electronics when they started. I walked into
one looking for something and was no where near the store I worked in. I was totally blown away by the knowledge
& service I received. When my manager was transferred and the new manager would ask daily how many service
plans I had sold, I knew it was time to find another place to work for minimum wage.
South Korea. They have sunk a South Korean destroyer 46 sailors were killed & shelled a South Korean island 2 civilians & 2 ROK marines killed. The Korean People's Army crosses the DMZ on a nearly daily basis trying to goad the Republic of Korea Army into a firefight big enough to make the headlines. Usually only one or two a year are that big but firefights across the border are a nightly occurrence. Ask any US Army soldier to actually served in Area I.
The Post-It on the bottom of my keyboard says "Sorry no password here"...it took my teammates less than a week to find it and be disappointed they couldn't change the "new guy's" passwords on his day off.
Get it right; Kim Il-Sung is the Great Leader & Eternal President. Kim Jong-Il was the Dear Leader. Kim Jong-Un is the Great Successor. Otherwise the DPRK's secret police will haul you off to the nearest gulag. You will not pass Go or collect $200.
This plane's engine is being built in Speaker John Bohener's state of Ohio..
The F135 engine for the F-35 aircraft is a Pratt & Whitney product, from Connecticut, not a GE engine from Ohio.
That's funny coward, since some time ago I worked IT for GE and every person assigned to the F-35 account was in Ohio and involved in EVERY aspect of that POS. Perhaps I should post as AC to protect myself but I'll take my chances...
My passwords are stored in my keylock safe in my home. 2 plain white sealed envelopes. One is the actual passwords the other is some random stuff I put together. If someone breaks in I highly doubt they are going to go to the trouble of trying to find my safe, Too many electronics and a coin collection that looks valuable but isn't. The valuable coins rest with my passwords.
Possibly they don't go after the Girl Scouts of the USA (look it up not GSA) because Lady Olave Baden-Powell (Robert Baden-Powell's wife, he is the founder of Scouting) was an early proponent of Girl Guides as girl scouts were known in England. She helped Juliette Low found Girl Scouts in the US, just a few years after Boy Scouting was started. You don't mess with the founder's wife's organization.
No, it won't. My mother (in her 70s) can click the bookmark to the 5-10 web sites she goes to, send & read e-mail & play solitaire just fine. She probably won't notice (or has a clue) that xp support will end in 2014. What will happen is either me or my brother will get a call from her when her computer dies or otherwise has an issue. I can bet if either of us suggest a new computer especially with Win8 she will have a fit because it "doesn't look like my old computer" and neither of us is in the mood to hand-hold her for weeks until she finds solitaire, her e-mail & bookmark her websites again. I'll probably buy a second hand xp machine locally and hopefully be able to pull whatever programs she uses over on the used machine.

I'll probably buy a second hand xp machine locally and hopefully be able to pull whatever programs she uses over on the used machine.
