Note that everyone replying to this claiming I'm wrong is citing one fringe blogger, whereas CNN says the exit polls agreed with the election results. Now, I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Still, weigh the sources yourself. Maybe CNN is invested in Clinton and is engaged in coverup, in spite of their fawning over Obama the day before.
That's pretty interesting... none of the companies i've worked for in the last 20 years (6) have done what you're suggesting, none of my friends at Microsoft have mentioned this, and I've never heard of this before. Maybe this is something unique to your state. There's basically no way the company I currently work for even could track this, not without major infrastructure changes, and we refactor code all the time.
Sorry, I don't know how to reconcile our facts. My facts suggest W made ~200 recess appointments, with over 100 to full time positions. You say he's used that power 3 times. Two orders of magnitude difference is just too radical to debate effectively.
Nothing you posted here contradicted anything in my parent post. Yes, emergency appointments have to go through oversight, but not until the end of a congressional session, in which case he can make another recess appointment. Yes, the congress has approved many appointments: not every appointment is for an important position, nor is every person he picks objectionable. But look at the appointments at important positions, and if you believe you can make a case that the people he picked and got approved by a republican congress are less controversial / more competent / less evil than the ones during the democrat congress, you're crazy.
Where I work, we refactor only when fixing a bug, and since we have tests of everything that works in production code, you're guaranteed not to break anything.
There are frequently situations where an improved utility/helper class can handle a task that is currently re-implemented in the class you are editing. Removing duplicate code reduces bugs.
Refactored code is new code to do an existing job. Does Microsoft not get to write down its investment in each new version of windows because it does the same job?
Yes, unless the president uses the 'emergency' appointment power during a congressional recess, which he has used numerous times since the democrats took control of congress and stopped rubber stamping his selections as the republicans did.
So now we have a combination of appointees from the republican congress years, and more recent emergency appointees, and a very small number of Bush-selected, democratic congress approved appointees (who, shockingly, seem to be much better behaved than the other two categories).
Bush picks the people who work at the top of many government organizations, and they pick the people below. It has little to do with congress, and that's why it still gets (appropriately) blamed on Republicans.
If we have a democratic president, we'll start blaming (and whip out our brooms) him and the democrats if these shenanigans continue.
Bah, multiple inheritance is just an error prone language level implementation of delegation. What you should want is language/compiler level delegation support.
That had me laughing out loud. If ever there was a language designed to help you shoot yourself in the foot, surely it is vb. I guess if all you care about it API level security, maybe it is ok, but if you have security concerns, surely you have design level security concerns as well?
If the government takes tax monies and subsidizes solar plants, they become cheaper for the plant makers, who do not pay the taxes. It's a cost shifting plan where the government forces the costs from the plant makers to the taxpayers. For the plant makers, solar becomes cost-competitive with alternative plant types.
Many power companies offer a 'green energy' plan. You pay an extra 1-4c per kw/h and they build sufficient solar/wind/geothermal plants to cover your energy needs. This is probably as close to what you want as you'll find.
Bottom line: Aluminum is a fantastic conductor of heat which melts at 933k. Firewalking typically takes place on coals with a temperature of 1000k, using feet and coals that are both not good conductors of heat, and ash, which is a good insulator. Don't stand in place on hot coals, the heat transfer will make you regret it after a fairly short time.
The teacher instructed him to cease using firefox and to do his classwork, and he refused the teacher's instruction. Sounds like grounds for discipline to me.
And at least on my computer, my Firefox link refers to firefox.exe.
My advice to student: learn how to negotiate with authority better. If you hadn't gone in-your-face, you likely wouldn't be in this situation.

CV is commonly used in the academic world in the US. Resume would be more common pretty much anywhere else in the US.

Note that the results don't deviate from the exit polls, they deviate from the pre-election polls. The exit polls were as accurate as usual.
I know your post is intended to be humorous, but I'm not sure if you're deliberately missing the point that a recount is impossible.

Software engineering is a superset of computer science, programming is a subset of software engineering.

They discuss solar thermal in the magazine article. In fact they propose that something like 3/4 of the power will be solar thermal.
The main advantage of solar (in their view), whether thermal or photovoltaic is the reduction in non-solar input requirements.
What are you, lazy?
The whole problem with marketing is in the first sentence. Ideally, one would mold product to consumers, rather than the other way around.
I mean, proud.
Seriously, what is a marketing department for, if not to bamboozle people into buying your product who otherwise would not do so?
A little more like being invited onto the property to repair the plumbing, and noticing the dead body under the stairs as you enter the basement.

We have tested energy and momentum conservation in a trivial fraction of our galaxy, to make no mention of the wider universe.

A smart terrorist would just poison the starbucks strategic coffee bean reserve. It'd poison something like 70 million americans.
