Not at all. I love how Delta lets me escape the children. Let other people deal with them for 2 hours.
I have three screaming horrible children of my own, so I enjoy seeing other parents suffer on a flight. Their screaming kids aren't my problem! And at this point, my ears are deaf to screaming children. Literally deaf, as in hearing damage.
Ia lot of the noise about F&F is coming in the form of conspiracy theories from the NRA
Mainstream news is almost totally ignoring the debacle, so at least one organization is talking about it.
It's not really a conspiracy theory when gun dealers openly say, "Yeah, we knew that buyer was a drug runner but the ATF agent in our back office told us to sell him the guns anyways."
They're slow off the line because the driver is trying to keep the gas engine from kicking in.
I hate those things because they've ruined the entire concept of carpooling in the D.C. metro region since they get a solo pass for the commuter lanes.
If they are striving for literal interpretation, they should observe that is says GOAT, not COW. Also, an older goat or some other goat's mother's milk would be fine.
Oh well, more bacon cheeseburgers for the rest of us.
what if a terrorist blows up the huge line where people wait to be groped by the tsa?
Then they install another TSA checkpoint outside the airport to protect the one inside.
Funny thing is, they would confiscate your toothpaste, but they'd have to let me through with my gun, since I have to declare and check it in with my baggage at the ticket counter.
Satellite and Terrain tiles seem to follow similar patterns in file sizes. The 'normal' view is vast amounts of nothing. What you see in the browser is an overlay of the terrain/sat/normal PNG images plus the actual map view GIF. So you have two sets of data to analyze.
It's a lot of data. I once cached (ripped off) enough map tiles to build a mobile GPS enabled application for a small geographic area and the number of tiles is absolutely huge when you consider all the zoom levels. Triple the number of you want all three view types. If this works at all, you're looking at some serious hardware to pull it off. There's a reason Google builds data centers over hydroelectric dams.
Not to mention getting the data in the first place. Google makes it difficult to get at the raw map tiles.
Already done in the U.S. (In my county, at least.)
I was dropping off some scrap metal for recycling at my local landfill and noticed some awesome hardware sitting in the computer dropoff area. So I tossed a couple of cases and a monitor in the back of my truck. The landfill attendant immediately came over and made me put it all back. They must be getting paid for this stuff as scrap and aren't allowed to let the general public walk off with any of it. Even worse, as a resident, I would have to pay per item to drop off anything. So they're double dipping, too.
It was good stuff. Better computers than anything I own. People throw away nice computers just because they load up with malware.
Same with my company. When someone gets a new laptop, the old one is taken away. Years ago, people used to be able to take home old PCs.
My wife is an excellent teacher who left a prestigious private school for gifted kids and went to a school in a very low socioeconomic area. Why? She said the kids at the gifted school "Just got it" and there was no challenge for her, professionally. Now the students can't spell their names the first day, but thanks to the hard work of a lot of very good teachers, they are average when they leave. Sure, test scores are lower than at the gifted school, but the kids have made a lot more progress.
Oh, her #1 advice to parents of her students: READ TO YOUR KIDS EVERY DAY!
You can filter based on kids and marital status. And, yeah, you'll lose more than 1/2 the field if you want a single woman with no children. I LOL at the Craigslist w4m ads that are like a shopping list for perfection, and then end with "MUST HAVE YOUR OWN CAR!". That tells you what kind of reply they want vs. what kind they're used to getting.
eHarmony is nice because you don't enter the typical personal ad garbage into a textbox and post it.
The early sex isn't really the problem, but it's usually accompanied by multiple partners. If there's one thing I could tell my 16 year old self (other than to buy Apple stock), it would be that the girls who are easy are doing it to feel desired because they feel terrible about themselves. I say this after chasing one of them all the way into my mid 30's and having a failed engagement.
I agree on the bars. How are you supposed to talk to someone over 130dB Hip-Hop music?
Okay, you gamed the system and got more hits with your fake profile. Did you meet better matches that way? Quantity != quality. If you answer honestly and get 1 match, it's going to be better than faking and getting 1000 matches that aren't going to work out. And you're wasting your match's time too.
There are options for location, one where you are ONLY interested in matches locally, one where you could be matched with someone long distance if they are willing to travel, and one where anything goes.
So go back, read the instructions, and play by the rules. It works.
If I looked at 10 profiles sent to me by Match/Yahoo/Whatever, one or two seemed like someone I'd actually enjoy talking to. That's probably about average out in the real world. If I looked at 10 profiles on eHarmony, 7 or 8 seemed like someone I'd actually enjoy talking to. So their survey does a pretty good job of increasing the odds.
1. eHarmony is more than 50% female. A lot more, from my observation. (I married one of my eHarmony matches!)
2. It changes a lot when you're over 30. Women realize there's no such thing as Prince Charming and it's time to settle for someone who treats them well and isn't going to leave.
3. It depends a lot on where you live. I lived in a small farming town for a while and most of the young women moved to the larger cities to pursue careers and never came back. Most of the men stayed. The ratio was awful.

If you had switched from an 80's GM to a 90's GM, you would have experienced a similar difference in performance and quality.

I had all my vaccines at once as an adult. It was awful! Sickest I've ever been in my life!
Doctor be damned, my kids will be getting them one at a time.
I can see this as nothing but a good thing for a doctor.
I've always wondered why dentists give away toothbrushes. You'd think they would hand out candy after the visit.
Go over to the "Last year, I spent the most on ..." poll running right now. The guy who just spent $900,000 on a house
. Look at his posting history.
Doctor.
Must be tough times. He only had $600,000 cash to put down.
They all left early on Friday, came in late on Monday, and have been in a meeting ever since. It'll probably be back online sometime Thursday.

Republicans love science as long as it's something they can monetize and doesn't conflict with their social agenda.
Democrats love science as long as it's something they can socialize and control.
(Hey, it's just as much bullshit as your comment.)

I feel your pain. The workload is a major stress for her and for our relationship.
Not having this tool, managers will just reward the programmers who complain the most.

Since it's too loud to talk in a bar or club, appearance is the only thing you have to go by.
Direct observation: Having sex early is a sign of low self esteem. I wish I knew that before spending 15 years in horrible relationships.

A programmer can code a memory leak in Java (or Dalvik or .NET) just like any other language.
