I worked in a couple of departments for the Canadian government and there were a lot of contractors for just the day to day stuff, especially in my last two jobs. It would help to get more of them to convert to employees if the environment was such a toxic cesspool. I was in one good group but we still had to deal with a lot of bad groups, managers fighting, and bad policies.
We had a change of CIO and gave a presentation to a large group of us: Java developers; graphic designers; web developers; a couple of UI designers; some customer managers; a couple of Perl developers; an Apache web server expert; and a C/UNIX shell script/anything else developer. First thing the CIO says is that he doesn't know how to use the Internet. Later on he says that we are all interchangeable cogs. I've never actually felt the morale drop in a room before. I ended up speaking with him the next day due to another issue and he just didn't know what he said wrong in the meeting.
Another example is the developers were using Jira for tracking their bugs and enhancement requests. The people upon high come down with their own custom change request system that has no use for developers but they are forced to use it. They can't try to interface Jira into the tool. It had a terrible interface, was slow, and couldn't scale up in the number of users. And they put in really stupid policies such as I couldn't go into the data centre without having an open ticket. So if I worked in there yesterday but forgot my toolkit and closed the ticket then I'd have to create a fake ticket on a production system just to retrieve it because they actually checked to ensure that we followed the rule.
They also don't get rid of people that they should. When I was going for my last job there they were also trying to move a couple of their level 2s to level 3. One of them failed the test and didn't get the promotion. The test that was written by the manager and based entirely on his day to day job. And it wasn't nerves. He couldn't do his job unless he had instructions in front of him or someone to guide him.
If a solar flare is accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME) then the CME can trigger a geomagnetic storm. It's the geomagnetic storm that causes so many problems for the electrical grid. A wire moving in a magnetic field, or a wire in a moving magnetic field (which is the case here) causes a current to be generated. Because the length and number of wires and the magnitude of a large geomagnetic storm then a large current is created. It is the large current that overloads transformers, circuit breakers, and anything else that happens to be connected to the grid. So wrapping a transformer in a Faraday cage would provide no protection as the damage isn't from EMF.
I'm not seeing the problem with this. How many lives did she ruin? It's not just the time people spent in jail. They then have a lot more trouble finding work because of a criminal conviction. There's their family who has to suffer. Plus there are probably some guilty people who weren't convicted.
Each class doesn't have to take place at the same time. They just have to meet the same number of times over the term. So 101A might meet Mondays and Wednesdays while 101B meet Tuesdays and Fridays and so on. This also helps the scheduling because not everyone is in the same program. For Calculus you might have students from Math, Physics, Computer Science, and Engineering all taking the course. So if Calculus 101, Algebra 101, and Physics 101 were only offered at one time it would be very hard to create a schedule for any student, especially engineers. I spent my first year at university in engineering and it's packed. Pretty much 7:30 to 4:00 or 5:00 every day with a few breaks except for Friday where I started an hour later and finished at noon. That was for lectures and labs. It was really hard to fit in an elective so I ended up spending Tuesday evenings in a course.
I transferred over to Computer Science in my second year because the aerospace industry in Canada was in bad shape at that time and the work load was so easy compared to engineering. Fewer lectures and the material wasn't as tough. They really push engineering students in Canada.
If there are a large number of students taking a subject then they are split up into a number of classes such as Calculus 101A, Calculus 101B... Calculus 101N. All of the classes together in one term (semester) are called a section.
Oh it's not just developers and their workstations. Give a development team access to a high speed network and they soon forget that other people aren't always accessing the website over a fast connection so you end up with bloated graphics, videos, any other files. Never mind trying to get developers to remember that your site has an international audience that includes poorer countries with bad connections and not always the best of computers. (I've had to remind the makers of a couple government websites of this fact.)
Oh please! Yes, not everyone in Canada has a family physician and the mental health care sucks but if you want to see a doctor there are clinics you can get into. I needed to see a doctor urgently, but not for an emergency, a few weeks ago. My family physician couldn't see me until the next week but I was able to go to a clinic located within a grocery store and waited 15 minutes to see a doctor. I'll admit that I was lucky with the short wait time. If I have an emergency or come down with a serious illness such as cancer I know that the system is there. Sometimes for things such as hip replacements or other non-life threatening procedures the wait time is longer than what it is in the US but you will get it done. There is no rationing. The only thing we don't get is very expensive unproven procedures and medications. You wouldn't get them in the US from your insurance providers either.
Yes, your taxes would probably go up a bit but you wouldn't have to seriously have to jack them up. You would come out ahead because the increase in taxes would be less than the amount you gain from not having to pay for health insurance anymore. The elimination of that deduction might be able to fund a significant portion of a universal health care program. Companies and people writing off insurance and medical expenses must cost the government a lot of money in lost revenue.
There's lots of money once you cut out the insurance companies, lawyers, and too high malpractice suit awards but money isn't the issue in the US. There's a fear of socialism there and for some reason providing healthcare to everyone is viewed as almost the ultimate step towards it. Never mind that policing, fire fighting, and education are all public services and that providing healthcare would be a great boost to productivity. If people can go to the doctor when problems are starting then they remain healthier and it costs the system less money overall.
In Canada we just had nine years of anti-science, anti-environment, racist, and slash taxes for well off families. No other party is like them and the last few years they were showing their true colours. It's going to take a long time for us to recover from them. For example in our census we had a short form and a long form. Both were mandatory. The short form was sent out to the majority of households while the long form went out to the rest. The Conservatives eliminated the long form and added an optional extra bit. We had some of the best census data in the world and even if we go back to using a long form in the next census that data won't be as useful as it could have been because we're missing that year's data.
I think it seems amplified in the US because the space program is such a high profile item. In Canada our high profile issue is how to equip the military but that wouldn't make headlines in any other country.
I'm sure someone could start up a business where after you find the car you want they would come into the dealership with you and do the haggling on your behalf. They would get something like 10% of what they manage to save you.
Price fixing is not paying the sticker price. You don't go to the grocery store, buy a bottle of cola for the price listed on the shelf, and then complain of price fixing. Tesla made the choice to take haggling for the price out of their buying experience. You obviously don't like it. Many car buyers don't like haggling for the price.
Now if Tesla got together with BMW, Mercedes, and other high-end electric car manufacturers and said that all of their cars were going to be $69,000 and they wouldn't undercut one another then that would be price fixing. And illegal.
I purposefully put the/s on the end to indicate that I wasn't being serious in case the humour deprived were unable to tell and even that didn't help you.

DS9 beat B5 to air by a couple of weeks but B5 was in concept phase at least a couple of years before DS9.

What I saw this year was if you were giving away something for kids with dietary restrictions then you painted your pumpkin green.
Or cans of pop. Yeah they may be a bit heavy but almost nobody does it and the kids remember it.
I thought it was:
Boxing Day - Last minute shopping
Christmas - Presents
Boxing Day - Shopping for deals
I was thinking more for Easter. It is about a guy coming back from the dead after all.

Because oil extraction and tax cuts to upper middle class families is such a great way to manage an economy!
(I was being very sarcastic in case you didn't notice.)
How about make iTunes to run on Flash? Just need to get Flash running on Java for the triple score.
If you go onto the site you can download the report and it gives you the market share and the percentage of computers that have not updated.
We just got rid of the Conservatives. We don't need the Republicans. How about we open talks to merge with Cuba?

I would take as many migrants into my country as possible no matter where they come from. The only better thing is if scum like you would leave.
