Public schools in America = lowest quality education you can possibly get for your child. Yes there are exceptions of teachers that do care and make a difference but they are outnumbered by the crappy ones 20 to 1 and it is getting worse as the years go by. EVERYONE remembers the teacher that was retiring that year. You did nothing in his/her class. It was either nothing but movies or "self guided study" and the tests were all open book.
This was not my experience in public school. In fact, I received a generally excellent education and attended a private college where I did just fine keeping up with the students who had attended exclusive private schools for their pre-college work. In fact, with the Advanced Placement credits I had earned, I entered with nearly a semester of college credit.
I also was taught by two retiring teachers. Both changed nothing in their grading policiees or teaching methods in their respective final years. Hell, my physics teacher actually enjoyed teaching that he applied to for an exemption to the mandatory retirement which was never processed as he managed to die over the summer vacation after I graduated.
There. Now we have dueling anecdotes, which is one reason that anecdotal arguments prove nothing. I learned that in a public high school logic class.
And he would have been convicted of illegal espionage, not treason. The Founders, having seen the ham-handed use of "treason" to smash political opponents in the English system, made the crime devilishing difficult to be guilty of in the United States.
It ended with a snarky argument suggesting that we hadn't read the Constitution and that this method of impeachment was in the document itself. It isn't, so the snark was totally unwarranted and makes the OP look like as big an ass as our current President.
Did your contract state that the controlling legal authority was your home state? If so, sue him in your home state small claims court and he will have to come to you or face a default judgement, won't he? Those things can screw your credit pretty badly, I think.
Jefferson's rules are not the Constitution. They are the rules of the House. The claim was there is a Constitutional requirement in force, and there isn't. The House could amend that rule at any time via a simple majority vote.

Apparently "better for me" does not translate to "better for everyone."
I am also curious where in the Document you find such a power granted to the states. A quick search on the word impeachment in all of the on-line texts brings up nothing of the sort.
It looks like every release improves this, but no matter how much you shine that Jetta it'll never be a Porsche.
Which is not necessarily a bad thing. I know someone who is a Porsche afficiando. They are hanger queens compared to the VWs. All that precision machinery needs constant tuneups and attention.
Linux has built a system, it works and it's used everywhere. Microkernels are all niche
Isn't OSX Mach based? If so, I think you have to stretch "niche" pretty hard, in fact to the point where Linux itself must be considered to have only succeeded in a "niche" market as well.
Well at least *some* of the employees will get to keep their jobs, but I'll bet the ones with their retirement plans in SGI stock will be hopping mad.
As the Enron debacle showed, having a majority of your retirement tied up in your employer's stock is unwise. Something about eggs and baskets. Business rarely rewards loyalty on the downside of things, particularly if the company is publicly traded.
Compartmentalization had very little to do with the advent of the container ship. Titanic was partially compartmented, but they didn't run above the waterline, so that the breach of several bow compartments led to overtopping of the remainder and the eventual loss of the ship. Lusitania and Mauretania were built with full compartments and even one longitudinal bulkhead because the Royal Navy funded them in part to use as auxilliary troopships. Both would have survived the iceberg collision, which really does make one wonder what was in Lusitania's holds when those torpedoes hit her.
Comparments do interfere with efficient operation, which is why Titanic's designers only went halfway. Full watertight bulkheads and a longitudinal one would have screwed up the vistas of the great dining rooms and first class cabins. It would also have made communication between parts of the ship more difficult as watertight bulkheads tend to have a limited number of doors.
The analogy is actually quite apt: more watertight security leads to decreased usability, but a hybrid system (Titanic's) can only delay the inevitable, not prevent it, and nothing really helps when someone is lobbing high explosives at you from surprise.
I've never met a manager who had a clue about anything
Newsflash: there are good managers and bad managers and the ratio of one to the other is about the same as the ratio of good programmers to bad ones. Not surprising, since one group is often promoted out of the other. Some of the best coworkers I've ever had were managers, and some of the worst as well. In other words, your experience is hardly universal, no matter how special your Mommy tells you you are.
I also want to eat at five star restaurants every night. Is that a free food issue? If the seller does not want to sell under terms you find acceptable, then don't buy. It's not like AAC audio is a necessity of life.
If you count the military as part of the government, "the bureaucracy" has far more Republicans in it than you would imagine. Sorry. This time the GOP broke it, and they get all of the credit. I extend to them the same degree of forgiveness and understanding they have shown to thers in the past.

Sorry. The GOP has just over half of Congress, including representatives of these phantom minor parties who lack the discipline to even get elected as dogcatcher. I stand by my statement.
I don't think this is the same as the reactive armor sported by other countries. That armor is basically used to defeat shaped charge HEAP rounds by using an explosion triggered by the detonation of the round to distrupt the shape of explostion and has little value against purely kinetic rounds like the APFSDS used by most NATO tanks these days. This could actually have some effect against those rounds by diverting them well prior to their contact with the vehicle. In all it is a far more active system, more akin to the point defense systems used on Naval vessels than what is currently used on tanks.
And if this is does work, I'm pretty sure that much of the tech (replacing radar with sonar, of course) could be repurposed to disrupt supercavitating torpedoes as well, come to think of it. Maybe that's why the Navy hasn't seemed very concerned about Iranian developments along that front?
Deeper in the article there is mention that one of the spinoffs of this project, I think the THEL, has shown an ability to down Katyushas, mortar rounds, and field artillery. That sounds useful, even in today's threat matrix. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to find out the Israelis have already helped themselves to the plans for one of these and are beginning production to deal with the Qassam and Katyusha problems from their neighbors.
Chaining themselves to your front door so you cannot get to work because a rusting ship seeped toxins into their harbor, threatening to boycott your employer because you are a financial supporter of Greenpeace, etc. would all be OK in your book then?
Granted, nothing is blown up, but you are punished for your views regardless, which is exactly what GP is doing here. Those ships are going to end up somewhere and I haven't seen them propose any way of handling that eventuality, just petulant screams of "not here!" whenever anywhere is pointed out.
Probably the best thing to do would be to scuttle those old wrecks in very deep water. There would be an impact, but it would be minimal. At least it is a solution, as opposed to media whoring for donations.
