In what "marriage contract" does it say, "You may not "cheat" on your spouse."? I looked around and I couldn't find this "marriage contract" of which you speak. Will you please show me where I signed on the dotted line? I've observed some marriages where the Preacher Man says something like, "you shall foresake all others" as part of the vows, but certainly not all, and you could make a case for this being a pretty vague and unenforceable clause.
But the fact is, the vows are a religious issue and "marriage" in terms of the legalities (marriage license, resulting common properties, etc.) make no mention of "cheating" being any sort of legal violation.
In order to "break" a contract, you must have a contract to break, a clause that can empirically shown to be agreed to and violated. But the only such "contract" is in your imagination.
Say what? The article is on a single page. Further, if you want to see a picture, you're gonna have to load it up. It's one of those funny things about them Interwebs.
Phone numbers may very well disappear, but there will still be some sort of "number" that ties you to whatever communications device you are using, even though it may be hidden. Just like right now on your Smartphone when you hit the "Call Mom" button. You may not even know the phone number, but it's still used. Call it another name if you like, like a userid, but it will still be there in one form or another.
And diesel costs about $3.00 a gallon in the area, so using your own figures making biodiesel production a VERY shaky proposition. Why go to the considerable trouble and mess to make biodiesel when you can get it from the hose for the same price? Plus it won't freeze up on you at 32 degrees F. Biodiesel will, and it doesn't take that long. I had it happen to me when I ran Bio in my Duramax. You should have seen the fuel filter--completely clogged with a viscous mess.
Perhaps it is you who does not have a clue here. The original poster is correct.
After reading the first hundred or so messages in this thread I decided it was time to tackle this issue once and for all. I did this on three different machines all running Win 7. YMMV but this appears to work.
1. Turn off auto updates 2. Uninstall KB3035583 3. Restart 4. Uninstall KB3035583 again (2nd time) 5. Restart 6. Uninstall KB3035583 again (3rd time) 7. Restart 8. Check for Updates. It will show KB3035583 9. Hide KB3035583
I know it's a little strange, but that damned update needed to be uninstalled three times before I could get it to gone. The first time I thought I might have mis-remembered exactly what I did, but by the third machine it was a definite pattern.
Seattle taxpayers are not paying for this project, except insofar as they are taxpayers to the State and the Feds, which are. "Local" funding is a small percentage of the $3 billion project. Further:
1. I-5 is a parking lot. Traffic congestion in Seattle is 5th worse in the nation. 2. The current Alaskan Way Viaduct is an ugly concrete behemoth. 3. The current Alaskan Way Viaduct is going to fall down. 4. The current Alaskan Way Viaduct carries 110,000 vehicles a day. 5. We can all ride bicycles because the city has closed one entire lane of most downtown streets to accommodate it.
Because everyone is EQUAL because that's the LAW and we say so and no one could POSSIBLY have a lower IQ because of genetics. It must be because of the Republicans.
Unfortunately, you won't be getting rid of these "oxygen wasters." They'll go on welfare and you'll be paying them to do absolutely nothing but riot in the streets. At least now they're doing something useful.
Because drones flying over your house are an invasion of privacy. They are inanimate objects, so no killing involved, and there might be something cool in the box. Don't want it shot down? Don't fly over private property.
I was an "official" journalist and my magazine got me and my spouse an invite to Redmond. We met at a Seattle hotel to be bused over. I was on the same bus as a very disgruntled John Dvorak. Jay Leno was the MC, making stupid jokes about "Bill's double-wide" while "Bill" kept making cutting comments over how much he paid Leno to be there. It was, as was usual for MS events, very well catered with crab and shrimp, and the day was absolutely beautiful for Seattle: Blue skies and fluffy white clouds EXACTLY like the Windows 95 box. I'm sure Bill ordered the day extra special.
There was a small plane which circled the campus with a banner that said, "Windows 95 brought to you by Windows NT" At the end of the day they threw open a massive tent where everyone there was given an MS bag with a copy of Win95 in. My wife was ecstatic that she got a copy.
And yeah, I get it. Linux, Linux, Linux, and the fact is I was dragged kicking and screaming into a GUI from the old DOS days, or even back to CP/M and dBase II. But Windows is a phenom, and that's a fact, too. My life in IT would never have been the same without it, and you haters need to get over it. Sorry for your loss.
I'm surprised at the total lack of vision expressed here. People seem stuck in a rut. All these posts are essentially the same: How would humans plow through a vacuum in three dimensions to get from one dirt ball to another, especially having never found a dirt ball more conducive to our life than Earth? Given what we think we know, there doesn't seem to be much incentive to travel through a hostile environment to get to another hostile environment. And once we invoke Einstein and time of travel compared to human lifetimes, well, it seems a hopeless business.
Of course the key phrase is "given what we know," but if we have learned anything in the brief history of science it is that new things we learn tend to encompass what we already know and grant us a much wider perspective. For example, Quantum Mechanics incorporates Newtonian Mechanics rather than contradicts it. And despite what the experts told us, humans can travel at speeds greater than 30 MPH and can actually fly in heaver than air machines. Naturally we scoff at these naive "limitations" of yesteryear and bask in our superior knowledge because NOW we know everything about reality and those old guys were the naive ones.
Yes, speculation is unproven, but what if we got it all wrong? What if you are NOT required to go from Point "A" to Point "B" by traversing the space between the two points, but could simply hop from one place to another? I mean, how does quantum entanglement work, anyway? Is there a glimmer of truth in there somewhere?
And if we can find it, then all these objections disappear as if they were thrown through a wormhole, irrelevant and completely missing the point. One thing is certain: Y'all won't find the way because you are too steeped in believing the reality of your own paradigm to venture past it.
But someone else may, someone who doesn't know such a thing is impossible. Quantum entanglement. How does that work again?
Yeah, yeah, just engineers protecting their turf. For awhile Novell was not "allowed" to call their certification a "Certified Novell Engineer" so they abbreviated it to CNE. But something happened, was it a court case? and they went back to the word "engineer."
It's like librarians bristling when you call every library employee you see a "librarian" whether they have the degree or not. Librarians don't own the word and engineers don't own the word "engineer" either. Lighten up. Are engineers so insecure that they can't handle a position called "Software engineer" unless it equires a BSEE?
So what if a corporation pays little to no taxes? ALL taxes are taxes on people, on consumers. Governments are very good at finding creative ways to tax people so that they think they aren't being taxed. Corporate taxes are just one good example. And further, these same people who are being taxed take umbrage when a corporation "doesn't pay its fair share." But who pays those corporate taxes? You do, because all a corporation does is consider the rate of taxation before pricing their products. It's part of the cost of doing business and part of the cost of the product.
Also, every dollar spent on employee salaries is taxed. Every dividend given to shareholders is taxed. Every increase in corporate worth is taxed. The government "take" from corporations far exceeds corporate profits. Who do you think makes more money on a gallon of gas? Big Oil or the government?
The real issue here is government's insatiable appetite for taxes. There's always another "program" that "needs" to be funded because some special interest thinks so. And the way it gets funded is by taking that money away from you and giving it to someone else "more deserving."
ALL taxes are paid by the consumer, the citizen. And the fact that anyone gets upset because some corporation paid "less" taxes than you deem "fair" just shows how well the government has deceived you into being a good little citizen.
handcuff the cops, take away everyone's guns, put a marijuana store on every street corner, make sure you fly an LGBT flag from the Space Needle, make sure every busy street takes a lane for bicycles, put up another bust of Lenin, and everything will be peachy.
Remember "Hide the Decline"? That's when bona fide "scientists" came across an inconvenient truth. In a multi-variate graph of several measurements showing the temperature was rising, one recalcitrant measurement trended downward to contradict very accurate contemporary thermometers. Rater than show the data they had, these "scientists" used a hiccup in the data to make it disappear. It went into the pile of lines, but did not come out. If they had left it in there it would have been a red flag they would have to explain, so they "hid the decline." This was one of many revelations in the Climategate e-mails so many people have conveniently forgotten.
So what exactly was this recalcitrant measurement? It came from tree-ring data. Why is this somewhat important? Because tree-ring data was used as a proxy for thermometers to show the temperature thousands of years ago. Those tree-ring data "prove" the temperature is rising. But the modern graph of tree-ring data shows the temperature falling when everything else shows it rising. What's up with that.
Well, it's a lot easier to hide this uncomfortable issue than it is to explain it. That's how "science" "works."
Carlton S. Coon has a less than stellar reputation among anthropologists and to cite his work as representative of the "facts" of anthropology is a disservice, to put it mildly. Hos views were used be segregationists to "prove" Blacks were inferior to whites. His original book on race deviated from the consensus reached by anthropologists (and the DNA evidence, among others) when he claimed that Whites were descended from Chimpanzees, Blacks from Gorillas, and Asians from the Orangutan. I don;t thoink you will be able to find any contemporary competent anthropologists who would make the kinds of claims you are making here supporting Coon, whose ideas have been thoroughly discredited in anthropological circles.
It was a perfect beautiful summer day in Redmond with blue sky and rolling white clouds exactly like on the cover of the Win95 box. Gates must have ordered the weather to match the box. Jay Leno was the featured speaker and told the audience how he had been a guest in Gates' house, "a double-wide." Overhead a plane circled with a banner that said, "Brought to you by Windows NT," that team having felt slighted by all the attention to 95. There were kiosks running the OS where I brought up my library's nascent web site on several. The bandwidth was probably 56K as everything was unbearably slow. My spouse over heard techs wondering how that could have happened.
There was ample food and entertainment and at the end they threw back tarps over a tent to give backpacks to all the attendees, each of which contained a copy of Win95. I rode back in the charter bus from Redmond to Seattle across from a grumpy John Dvorak, apparently pissed he hadn't been greeted as more of a celebrity.

Actually, my bad! I went by a gas station this afternoon and diesel is $2.06 a gallon. So you can make it for $3.00 or buy it for $2.06.
Such a deal.
