Printing more money would help quite a bit. It would deflate the inequity between the rich and poor at the heart of the problem, so it would very quickly improve the situation.
Right, so the best possible policy from the Israeli possibility would be non stop bombings, right, because that's what works?
The problem is that short term intermittent reinforcement is the most powerful psychological reinforcement possible. There have been plenty of studies documenting this.
One would hope that if a lower power, lower price component were available, that the manufacturer would use such a component in order to improve the price competitiveness of their models. If they are NOT doing so, then indeed we see the necessity of this regulation!
So at a minimum, we could assume that no component changes are possible without an increase in cost for compliance.
Add to that the cost of certification, and you have a guarantee that energy efficiency will drive price upward.
The problem is that the Israelis have the strongest possible evidence that it has worked : fact. When they respond to these attacks with an intense response, the other side often reduces attacks for months or years.
Well, all credible reports i've read in an international news source indicated that Hamas began firing rockets into Israel after a period of some months of no violence.
I've done it at 5 jobs now and not one has blinked.
This doesn't add up; you're only 21 years old. Maybe we have a different meaning for "blink"?
I don't know who you think I am... I'm sadly far older than that. Oh to be 21 again. However, 5 jobs at 21 wouldn't be impossible, and by blink I meant simply that none of my employers complained in any way about my modifications to the employment contract.
Yes, just cross them out. If the other side has pre-signed, you may have some responsibility to bring it to their attention (otherwise they might argue that they thought a different contract was in force, and while you'll probably win in court eventually, you'll have to deal with being in court).
None of mine have ever been pre signed, so I usually just put a line through the offending parts, and tell them I had to strike a couple of minor issues that would have conflicted with previous contracts I've signed. Since I trust my wife I have a signed prior agreement with her that all my ideas belong to her, but I usually explain to the prospective employer that I've agreed to perform occasional maintenance work in my spare time, and I can't allow that their contract make that impossible.
Not according to any credible news source I've seen. All major international news organizations credit Hamas with rocket attacks prior to Israeli response.
No, the existence of the middle east is responsible for the other 9/16ths of the world's problems. Of course, I suppose if we dropped enough such boxes from a sufficient height, that would solve the problem.
They may not be a common carrier, but you sure can ask them to ship something to another location. They're right friendly about doing it too. If they don't have it on the shelves, they will get it moved from another store or warehouse within a day.
Because as a business, the choice is usually actually between legacy support (which often is one-time licensed, ala win2k) and future development (which brings in new license revenue). The only reason to provide any legacy support is: a) avoid pissing off your customers too much with the upgrade treadmill b) comply with the law / existing license guarantees
Which if you live in a state, like say Oregon, that has massive fleets of inefficient vehicles devoted to your critical export business in lumber, may be good public policy.
You have to multiply the victimization costs by the number of victims. Including victims of those who are not prosecuted but also not discouraged by vigorous prosecution of others.
I interpreted him precisely that way. We're talking only about the differential, in particular, the differential in enforcement costs vs the differential in services costs. Obviously, there are no services costs for the cartoons, but if you believe the argument behind these laws in the first place (that they contribute to an increase in the rate of real victimization), you have to weigh that enforcement cost differential against the victimization support differential.

I watch tv because I enjoy drama serials. I haven't watched a commercial in 3 years thanks to my comcast tivo clone.

Routing speed. Jumbograms.

Well, if that's the case the arabs should just buy them out with their oil money, it would be cheap for them to do so.

If people would step up and act responsibly, regulation wouldn't be necessary. But they don't, so what can you do?

Exactly, which renders all the stuff you create on non-work hours yours.

Lopsided outcome is policy. They want their opponents to know that starting a fight with them is a bad idea because they will finish it, harshly.
No, the existence of the middle east is responsible for the other 9/16ths of the world's problems. Of course, I suppose if we dropped enough such boxes from a sufficient height, that would solve the problem.
Also, you can get away with striking such clauses in the employment contract almost everywhere. I've done it at 5 jobs now and not one has blinked.

Other state. It's just you and Oregon, sorry.
Because ultimately the state will finance their survival, and it's a good reproduction strategy for your genes.
Probably without ... this is a more deep sea species, so less likelihood of pollution exposure.
