The fact is, the nature of the subject, and anything else requiring in-depth knowledge, will not appeal to most girls, just like armed robbery doesn't appeal to most girls.
Round 2: are you saying armed robbery appeals to most boys?
The fact is, the nature of the subject, and anything else requiring in-depth knowledge, will not appeal to most girls, just like armed robbery doesn't appeal to most girls.
Judging from the observed (in)competency of hundreds of college graduates, I'd say that anything requiring in-depth knowledge doesn't appeal to most boys, either.
Just in the midwest I'd think of cities like Cincinati, Columbus, Dayton,
As someone who's been seeking employment in Columbus/Dayton for six months, I can tell you that it's not any better here. Ohio is a fairly crappy place for tech jobs.
Take a gander at Vatican II. Specifically the part that reads:
Those also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience.(19*) Nor does Divine Providence deny the helps necessary for salvation to those who, without blame on their part, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God and with His grace strive to live a good life.
No, it's a Carbon application in Mach-O executable format. See this document for the following passage:
The Finder in Mac OS X is an application--specifically, a Carbon application--that manages the user's desktop and mediates user access to applications, documents, and other items in the file system.
One thing that I haven't seen commented on is that the Finder is a Carbon application -- Jobs specifically claimed this as an example of "eating one's own dog food." This means that unless they've rewritten the Finder in Cocoa, or ported Carbon to this alleged x86 build of OS X, the story is as groundless as all other similar stories.
The article strongly implies that Carbon has not been ported to "Marklar," as in the following:
Apple would have to also coax most of its third-party developers to rewrite their applications from the ground up in the company's Cocoa application environment.
But if there's a Cocoa version of the Finder, why haven't we seen it? (Be aware that I'm not a Jaguar user, and don't know if the Finder is Cocoa in the most recent release.) However, given these points:
Mutually Assured Destruction was "stable" only as far as retaliatory destruction was really assured. A limited missile defense system makes it impossible for your opponent to be sure that a first strike of theirs will destroy all of your missiles, and so makes MAD more stable, not less.
It also gives the leader in missile defense the opportunity to launch a first strike without fear of total reprisal. Imagine a strike aimed primarily at the nuclear capabilities of the opponent. Then imagine a "limited" defense system. The aggressor nation knocks out a large portion of their enemy's retaliatory capability, and the missile defense negates most of the rest.
Personally I think this is just another stupid law, but the people I vote for tend to not be ellected. Maybe because they might keep their promise of less goverment even though it gets rid of the programs that benifit their constitutes [sic]...
Let me get this straight... we're supposed to vote for people who don't have our best interests in mind? Conversely, politicians should not take into account the needs and wants of their constituents?
You guys do realize that $63k is still quite a bit of money, right? Think how much higher that is than, say, a teacher. I know I work awefully hard, but I can't be working as hard as some of my teachers seemed to, with as few benifts.
My dad's an educator, and I have nothing but respect for the profession, but they get some sweet benefits. First of all, they get a decent salary for working 3/4 of the year. Secondly, their pension plans (like most government pensions) are top-notch; when they retire, it's a slight pay cut over their final salary. Third, their family insurance coverage is insanely comprehensive and insanely long-lived. All thanks to the NEA, no doubt.
Mmmm, Old Glory Robot Insurance. Possibly the best Saturday Night Live commercial spoof of the 90s.
Old Lady #1: When my ex-husband passed away, the insurance company said his policy didn't cover him.
Old Lady #2: They didn't have enough money for the funeral.
Old Lady #3: It's so hard nowadays, with all the gangs and rap music...
Old Lady #1: What about the robots?
Old Lady #4: Oh, they're everywhere!
Old Lady #1: I don't even know why the scientists make them.
Old Lady #2: Darren and I have a policy with Old Glory Insurance, in case we're attacked by robots.
Old Lady #1: An insurance policy with a robot plan? Certainly, I'm too old.
Old Lady #2: Old Glory covers anyone over the age of 50 against robot attack, regardless of current health.
[ cut to Sam Waterston, Compensated Endorser ]
Sam Waterson: I'm Sam Waterston, of the popular TV series "Law & Order". As a senior citizen, you're probably aware of the threat robots pose. Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel. Well, now there's a company that offers coverage against the unfortunate event of robot attack, with Old Glory Insurance. Old Glory will cover you with no health check-up or age consideration. [ SUPER: Limited Benefits First Two Years ] You need to feel safe. And that's harder and harder to do nowadays, because robots may strike at any time. [ show pie chart reading "Cause of Death in Persons Over 50 Years of Age": Heart Disease, 42% - Robots, 58% ] And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free.. because they're made of metal, and robots are strong. Now, for only $4 a month, you can achieve peace of mind in a world full of grime and robots, with Old Glory Insurance. So, don't cower under your afghan any longer. Make a choice. [ SUPER: "WARNING: Persons denying the existence of Robots may be Robots themselves." ] Old Glory Insurance. For when the metal ones decide to come for you - and they will.
Aaah, the Simpsons haven't been the same since Conan O'Brien stopped writing for them. Who else could come up with stuff like this?
Lyle Lanley: Well sir, there's nothin' on earth like a genuine, bonafide, electrified, six-car monorail!
What'd I say? Ned Flanders: Monorail! Lyle: What's it called? Patty & Selma: Monorail Lyle: That's right, monorail! All chant: Monorail, monorail, monorail... Ms Hoover: I hear those things are awfully loud Lyle: It glides as softly as a cloud Apu: Is there a chance the track could bend? Lyle: Not on your life, my Hindu friend Barney: What about us braindead slobs? Lyle: You'll be given cushy jobs Grampa: Were you sent here by the devil? Lyle: No, good sir, I'm on the level Chief Wiggum: The ring came off my pudding can Lyle: Take my pen knife, my good man /

"Increasingly we will be writing on our computers like we write on paper," he said.
Does this strike anyone besides me as rather silly? I am a slower-than-average typist for being computer-oriented, and I challenge anyone to write as quickly as I type. Microsoft's entire UI scheme seems to be headed for a terrible shock, as they learn that there is no such thing as a natural interface. Certainly some are easier and some are harder, but there is no natural one. Why we would want to relegate our interaction with computers to a model first implemented on clay tablets is beyond me.

Thank you for submitting this post...it has restored my faith in Slashdot...
...bad form to reply to my own post, I know, but I have to correct something dumb I said. Old people tend to sleep a shorter length of time per night (unless, of course, they're sick or depressed...)
...correlation is not causation. Who sleeps more than average? Old people, sick people, and depressed people. I'm not surprised to find out they have a shorter life expectancy.
Whoa there. While I agree that campaign finance reform would benifit one party or anouther, but it also destroys freespeach. Simply put, money is speach, and anytime you prevent someone from giving, you trample on their speach rights
Is that so? Sounds like organized crime might have cause for a class action lawsuit, then. Aren't bribery laws unconstitutional? Perhaps you should rethink this whole "money-as-speach [sic]" thing.
According to the results of a sociological survey conducted by the State Statistical Committee in May no more than 50 percent of the Ukrainian population have enough money to buy food.
The average salary of the Ukrainian employees in the production sector is UAH 213 (around USD 39).
I'm not surprised that Ukrainians don't want to spend almost half their daily salary on a CD. And remember, those are just the ones with steady jobs (also a rarity in.ua).
On October 30, the last Ukrainian ICBM silo for rockets called RS-22 here or SS-24 in the West and located near Pervomaisk in Mykolayiv oblast was destroyed. In so doing, Ukraine has fully met its commitments to the world community envisaged by the Lisbon Protocol to the SALT- 1 treaty. Under the protocol, Ukraine signed on the SALT-1 treaty and also, now as a non- nuclear state, joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
P.S. Why do people deliberately evince their ignorance of current events in the pursuit of karma? Is a Google search really that hard?
It's really very obvious, once you think about it. Bill Gates's scripture seems to be The Art of War, while Steve Jobs's is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Whether or not you think Apple is successful depends on how you view the relative merits of those texts.
