Sometimes yes, this is so. In other times, they can't determine that the one they want to use is the only contractor that can fill all the requirements. I have had several contracts that were done in this way, but because I was actually able to meet the requirements and bid lower, I got the contracts. US Air Force, Dept. of Agriculture, several state and local gov's as well as DHS.
those aren't scare quotes... At anytime, a properly terminated employee can try to pull the race card, or any other card they have access to. If you have kept your documentation in order as the employer, you should be safe. The trick is, most people who get nailed for unfair employment practices are people who have NOT been keeping their records on when they have had to deal with an employee's infractions, ethics etc. That is not to say that racially biased instances do not occur, they most definitely do and they can happen to people on non-color just as easily as to anyone else.
Yes, and the last USG contrast I had, I billed $220/hour. Paying my own insurance was NOT an issue for me. The tax breaks you can get are pretty crazy as well. Just about everything you do, and everywhere you go can be a write-off if you feel like it. That's everything from mileage driven, hotel rooms, food costs, phone bills, any part of your house that you use as an office, gas, even clothing if you work it right.
wouldn't matter if the boss is also "a person of color". And yes, you can terminate USG employees, you just have to keep your documentation in order so that you can prove you aren't terminating them for an unjust or otherwise nonexistent reason.
I hate to sat it this way, but when you have hundreds of other people clamoring for your position, some just won't negotiate and take whatever is offered. Alot of us, have had to overs the years just to make sure we get employment and can put food on the table. Right now, where I live, it's an employers market, unless the employers are looking for very specific, very highly skilled person, they have thousands of applicants and can take their pick from the lowest bids of the lot.
No shit. I've spent countless hours filling out requested documentation for RFB/RFP/RFQ's its unreal. And still have to battle to get the contract. The red tape is pretty retarded.
Amazing how I got insurance when I started my own corp and it had absolutely nothing to do with my income. It was never even asked. They only cared about how many people I wanted to cover, what types of coverage, and any health conditions they needed to be aware of. Within 30 days of starting the company, all of my employees (7) and myself were covered. It would have been EASIER to get coverage had it been only myself, but they required 2 of my employees with children to had physicals done on the kids, which they paid for. This was medical, dental, vision and life.
Or maybe since it's illegal for an individual to decode your encrypted transmissions, it should also be as well for your government to do so without probable cause and a warrant. There is no reason that any cop should be allowed to listen in on your dirty talk with your lady while in the privacy of your own flat. In order for them to setup surveillance across the street and listen to you with bubs, microphones etc, they are supposed to have a warrant, what's the difference here?
really? I haven't had any issues like this and I have heavily modified my install of 7. Shit dude, that thing in the bottom left called start, yeah click it and in the little text box, TYPE WHAT YOUR'RE LOOKING FOR. damn...
You are correct in the "not in significant amounts" aspect. However, we are still piping energy from one side to the other. No the infrastructure for high capacity lines does not necessarily exists, but we're still piping it, just over smaller infrastructure.
Bill Gates is investing heavily in the new gen 4, thorium based reactors. He did a really good interview a few months ago discussing the potentials and uses of nuclear. Quite insightful if I can find the link.
You do realize that we already pipe energy from one side of the country to the other right? The "Long Wires" are for the most part already there. Upgrade, enhancements will be need but the framework is in place.
The real question I have is, that 2.98M megawatts being pumped out, is that weekly, monthly, yearly, in total or what? And how much of our national energy consumption does that actually take care of?
Right but you can't just blanketly state that. For some local crimes, they may hang you or cut off a hand, or other seemingly abusive punishment. So what do you do, go country by country, city by city and say this law applies here but this law doesn't, this document has jurisdiction but this one doesn't. That would be a massive pain in the ass.
Not to mention, if you go by the local law only, then you WILL have situations where a soldier may say "to hell with it, they are just gonna charge me $500..."
That may not be such a bad thing, I mean shit, maybe they would actually be able to give me correct change without depending on the coin machine doing the math.
given the fact that the UCMJ sees rape as a capitol crime, you can be sentenced to death or life imprisonment. I'd go with UCMJ justice preferably if my daughter was raped by a soldier. Having BEEN a soldier (Army 3rd BN, 75th Ranger RGT), I can tell you flat out that there is no state in the union that has penalties, for the majority of offenses, as harsh as the UCMJ. Not to mention the fact that, if you are caught, tried and convicted of a crime in civilian courts, under the UCMJ, you can be tried, convicted and sentenced a second time by the military. It is not double jeopardy because you technically committed 2 crimes with 1 act.
Allow me to break it down very simply for you all; if you, as a male soldier, are overheard by a female using expletives (fuck, bitch), you can be tried AND convicted of sexual harassment under the UCMJ. The penalty for which is prison and dishonorable discharge.
For that matter, bounce a check and see what happens... you get a $250 fine on the company level, restricted duty and pull an article that can and will stay on your military record.
Actually quite a great deal really. I go out and by movies on a regular basis. Much of what I buy is more than 10 years old. The last decade has not produced a significant number of movies that I really care to see more than once. Hell I just bought a set of Audrey Hepburn movies, as well as an additional 11 various movies, all older than 10 years.
Given preference based on what precisely? Those of us who live in reality want our children to learn scientifically backed up information. The Bible is not a scientific work.
Here's the result of education being controlled on local levels and not on a higher federal level. You have kids in states like Georgia, that can barely read, write or do arithmetic when they graduate high school. Oh and let's not forget that Georgia attempted to CREATE their own system of mathematics, which failed miserably and all student associated with the program had to be retaught and retested.
Education should have hardline policy from the top down with the requirements that each student has to meet. Localities deciding what books are used, what kids are allowed to learn, how they learn it, when they learn it etc is a crock and you get kids from one state that can do calculus in their minds while kids from another state can't add 2+2...
Of your usage. The Touchpad is not much more than a video player or ebook reader for alot of what I do. Though, now with android installed, I can actually use it on my corporate network which increases it's use to me.
WebOS lasted all of about an hour on the one I pulled out of the box. I nearly threw the damn thing against the wall it infuriated me so much. I've left them sitting on a shelf waiting for the prices on ebay to go up till this weekend. I installed the ALPHA and I am loving it. Can't wait for the few, very minor, bugs to get knocked out and it will be superb.

Yes, it should, but most smaller employers just don't spend the time to do it because they think it just won't happen to them.

The contracts never end. If it ever does, you did something wrong.

Touchpad... I hit print from the browser, it saw my 12 year old HP printer and printed no questions asked. Win in my book.

Because it has to do with cutting funding for SCIENCE... you know, one of those nerdy topics...
