1. No, 700B only covers the bad debt, not money it will cost to make the Financial Sector moving again. The Financial Sector has basically stopped moving.
2. The Total Value is the Money you take, or give to the market. WHEN YOU SELL YOUR STOCK.
3. What the contract says it is to be that I, and the Corporation that signed it says it will be.
Bonus Question; YES!, But only when the Market Price of the house will be Greater than 125% of the Current Value.
The problem that the U.S.Government faces is the lack of understanding about all things data. Obviously, there is secret data, and public data. The secret stuff we will never see, but the public stuff? Now THAT's worth considering. XML is an excellent format for data, and could work very well hiding information. But someone is going to have to convert written documents to XML; "Mind Deadening" would be a most polite term. But one of the nice things that could be applied here is the number of U.S.Citizens that are out of work, and could use a job. Not everyone in the U.S. wants to do what is required to be a Mortgage Banker, or Brain Surgeon. Some folks can, for a time, contribute to the conversion; until things get better for them. The methods used to build the Interstate Highway System could be applied here.
Well, if Engineers from the "Land of the Raising Sun" are really going to do this; and this time it works. They may want to put a Parachute on the Cargo Pod, just in case the Tether breaks ABOVE the Cargo Pod.
The AP writer is funny. It's like she didn't even live on this planet for the last 7.5 years, and doesn't understand the 600,000+ IT workers that lost their jobs to the flooding of services from overseas outsourcing. I can't help but wonder if the loss of circulation for newspapers is because the reporters don't read the paper?
In the Diamond Age, ownership of an idea is significant. For example, the blinking light on an Ethernet card. The inventor of the concept patented the idea, another company used the idea without communicating it to the inventor. The inventor's resulting favorable ruling can be found at. WAIT! You sound like a pretty smart person, go find it yourself. And of course, after all those hours of searching, I maybe not telling you the truth. Personally speaking, it's good to see students learning the various aspects of knowledge. I hope you use the same energy in your "Ethics, and Logic" class, that you used in your introduction to elementary software engineering class.
I have worked for a couple of companies that profit from the Oil Industry. I agree, it's a fantastic Cash Cow. But the bottom line is now common knowledge; $5.00 a gallon was the Tipping Point for converting to the Hydrogen Dollar; I personally thought $6.00 would be. Now the energy profiting showoffs have to make an Economic Decision by asking the question, "Am I in the Energy Business, or Am I in the Petroleum Energy Business" To a Man, and Women, these types will convert to the Energy Business. So? How does relate to your question? Simple, all one need do is calculate the number of Wind Turbines, Solar Cells, and Battery's to store the energy to run a Recycling Plant to separate the spent battery components into raw materials for other uses, or more batteries. And for the Nuclear Crowd, for extra credit, factor in the requirements of filtering Radio Active matter from the Radio Active Waste. The Radio Active stuff can be recycled to use in Power Plants, and the other stuff which is Depleted Material can be used to make other stuff. That will make buying the radio active stuff from Russia more doable.
It is said that confession is good for the soul. I can't help but love the irony of the Mac' commercials. I think pricing of Mac's allows to much for price gouging on its customers; but I think the commercials are a humorous way of "pinking" the marketing armor of M$.
Various things could be applied to the Laws of our land. Budgeting, for starters; One can ask the question, "Is it cost effective?"; the step would be to count/acquire the number of times, of total cost of an event, or condition. Now when one says, "that's not good", that person can now apply known events with cost of handling, or stopping those events. Cool
Interesting idea about the military aspect of energy. The same idea was used to create the U.S. Interstate Highway System. And it put people to work also. I can really see a compelling argument for putting solar, and wind energy generators on all structures in the U.S. as a way of making use of a natural resource, and as a way to stop draining any countries wealth base.
But there's another reason, for me. I am growing tired of hearing show-offs tell me its OK to use other countries energy supplies, while those same people start draining my money supply. Life is to short to bicker over where the energy comes from to charge the batteries on my DS. I think maybe it's time to create a solution where I can step back from the energy grid, and let the big dogs work it out amongst themselves.
Like a little old lady once said starring at a travesty of a hamburger. I know we're talking Beta, but lets put IE8 up against FF, Opera, and Safari, on windows and Linux using a "Benjamin Franklin List". Does IE8 work with WINE? Will I see the Microsoft Marketing Department dancing around this camp fire? I guess next week I'll find out, when I test it myself. Lets consider standards, does IE8 use SVG 1.1? HTML 5.0? CSS 2.0? XML 2.0? XSLT 2.0? I don't want to hear an excuse; just Yes or No. As a software developer, turning features on and off is part of the software testing process; for IE8 features, can I test my software accordingly? And I am not referring to Bill Gates' definition of a "Feature". So far, the advertised new stuff from IE8 are NOT show stoppers; eh. If IE8 could say "Yes" to the above standards, then I will sit up an start listening to the Hype.
This problem was basically solved by schools in china, many years ago; yup, the Shaolin, and others, figured it out. Not only could the teachers defend themselves, so could the students. Maybe if a student was taught to have confidence in themselves, turning to a gun would be trivialized, maybe. But with 360+ million people in the U.S., the bio statistics are unity that someone, somewhere will go Rambo.
I thought you brought up an interesting point, "Its going to take a while to get the somewhat large number of nuclear power stations...". The nuclear power stuff was determined back in the early 1970's to generate waaaaaaaaaaay to much Nuclear Waste; but the Solar/Wind power generators, that's different. The industry for Solar/Wind can have a person's home up and running in under a couple of months,(real time). That's pretty good. I guess when a person can go to the Home Depot and buy a kit to "Plug" into the power grid, the Energy market will change. But there is the Power Company's current choice of not paying for power from home owners that give more to the system, than they are being compensated for. A "class action" should turn that around. From my view of the horizon, the U.S. is going to the Hydrogen Dollar, and we are seeing the apex of the Oil Dollar. It also appears that it IS possible to power one's home using Solar/Wind, and give extra to the Power Grid. That would make Manufacturing just about the only users of the Power Grid. Which generates a fair amount of irony, because most manufacturing has moved overseas. Which brings up the question on Manufacturing, why not move manufacturing that is being done in the U.S. to areas where the Solar/Wind power is cheap?
I work alot with shipping; and the average cargo container is 40 feet long. These metal crates get banged around a lot but for contemporary cargo hauling, they handle pretty good. I know the time is going to come when something is manufactured in California and, (hopefully), is delivered to the space port in Arizona. Most likely, it will be in a cargo container. I see these containers, routinely stacked 5, and 6 high, and at our dock port, there are hundreds of them waiting to be picked up, or waiting to go out to sea. The reason the containers are built the way they are is because of the hauling conditions, and, well, lets just say I don't expect to see any Long Shore Men being invited to Stockholm to collect their prize money in Theoretical Physics anytime to soon. From a cargo handlers point of view, unloading, and reloading a container means more money. From a shippers point of view, keeping the contents in the container means less expense. So, from a shippers point of view, offloading the container from the truck to the rocket should have only one fee for offloading the container from the truck, and one fee for onloading on to the rocket. The long shoreman gives the shipping papers to the pilot, and the rocket takes off. Until the Space Elevator, or "Transporting" is invented, I don't see anyother way to get the cargo from earth to space. And the 'S' in NASA does stand for "Space", as in that blie-ish-orange stuff over my head right now. Maybe using a Balloon assist would help get the cargo up higher, but as things go, I don't know of any other way to get the cargo into space.
Kinda cool, but this looks more like a DARPA project. Maybe if NASA could concentrate on the 'S' part of their charter, this project would make more sense. How about re-doing the project, (and get more budget), but apply it to motors that could lift a 40 foot cargo container to maybe 60 miles up? Using less fuel? Using a more efficient lift body? Now Shippers would start to listen. Shippers would start to consider less Ships, and Trains; and MORE aviation solutions in their Logistics.
Gone for 9 days? I think a variation of the Rainbow-Table solution can be applied here. Aside from the reason that the laptop was not in the office in the first place. I think that the scenario to consider is that the entire hard drive was copied, more than once, and that now the new owner of the copies has all the time in the world to brute force the passwords. And in a few weeks when all this is blown over, there will be a new list on the open market to purchase. The Bad Guys are on the job 7/24, these types of personalities are not the types to under estimate. I would hope the FBI persues them before we as a group are to damaged by this lapse in laptop security.
I have no idea what California State law is on this issue; but living in California I am getting an ear full, because my wife is a government employee. But as far as the payroll problem is, the solution is fairly straight forward. There are several payroll companies that the Governor could use. All these people would need is a bank account number to draw funds from, and a list of names with social security numbers, amount to pay is already known. These companies will do the tax stuff and get the right IRS numbers done correctly; they have to, it's the state law.
I think I'll go fish'n in the mountains till this all blows over...
