You cannot buy a politician, other people can and they do.
So they will get your pony as well.
I like both forms, but printed is still best
on
The eBook Backlash
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Printed is still the form I enjoy the most. First off I never fear losing a physical book, the value is low enough I don't care. Get e-readers down in that value and I might think the same.
Then again probably not. For some reason I feel more relaxed with a paper book. For me there is still that put down, pickup, which just works better that way.
I do enjoy reading on the Kindle much more than the Fire! or iPad. Mostly because I can take it outside and still read it.
I would love to see publishers include a scratch off code or receipt activated code with books to get the ebook version. Kind of similar to how you can get the portable version of a movie.
and not all of these tracks are by artist people want to hear, I mean, there are good chances of unreleased Celine Dion tracks in there. Think of the children
I am quite willing to see Timothy Geitner go to jail for his allowing all the shenanigans to go on in the banking industry when he had direct oversight http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/tim-geithners-amnesia/ (use it while you can, the Koch brothers are trying to take it over)
Then I will be fine. In the remastered TOS you could switch between versions. I will be the first to admit I loved the new graphics in the remastered version of TOS because they took nothing from the story while many times enhancing it.
The real scary part for me is realizing how old TNG is.
while an IR / low light video camera would do the trick of recording the crime well lighted areas deter it. A lot of criminals are stupid, but even the dumbest do not tend to do things in well lit areas.
Plus not all warehouses are closed at night, there is always the safety of the people who work there, including security people.
its that Slashdot so regularly posts his stories which leads me to believe that there is someone on the staff who is either friends of or supports the same beliefs.
short of a complete takeover by Republicans... and considering the candidates they offer up; I am a libertarian; I am not too excited at that prospect. Oh, I won't mind one bit if they displace the current Chief, just as long as they don't have both Houses too.
The TSA has fifty eight thousand employees, of which I think fifty thousand are eligible for their union. Do you think that kind of money rolls over?
Its not like it can't be staged. If the shot was small caliber then it would not be the dove hunters, they use mostly shot guns. Not sure about SC laws but many states restrict the type of guns/weapons used for hunting specific quarry. I am really amazed that any hunters would be firing towards a highway, let alone one where the local authorities were just at. As in, they would have grumbled about the sheriff and left - probably all to go eat.
Most likely, there was no measurable change between the two groups. I have had all sorts of antibiotics prescribed to me for various issues, amoxicillin is only given in the least annoying conditions by my doctor. I have done the zpacs (amoxicillin), cefalexin, and in one case I had cipro (which I will not wish on anyone, it worked but side effects were not fun and it was not for a sinus infection)
I have pretty much gotten away from drugs for a sinus infection unless it doesn't seem to sort itself out quickly. Not sure if that is good or bad, but I haven't had as many since I stopped trying to treat them with antibiotics.
I would RTFA to find out what they did to insure parity among control groups... but... its more fun to post
because if life goes on and on you can forget retiring at 65.... if that is even a valid age for some people today. I know family who worked till 70 because they wanted to. I have known pilots who want to fly but aren't allowed because of mandatory retirement rules.
As a people we will have to make many adjustments, the big one is what do we do with the time. Truly one cannot expect to live in Vacation mode forever either. We will have to learn that being a contributing member of society is not something you do for a while and never again, it is something you do, take a break, the do again. This might mean adjusting expectations of employers, having people being allowed sabbaticals for a dozen years and having methods to catch back up and go another ten or twenty.
So the age of tablets/smartphones/etc is going to result in cluttered desktops too? I already am not a complete fan of the iPad/iPhone icon bloat / cluterfest we have now but I see Apple wants to bring me that same mess to my desktop.
Even better, notifications which apparently want to write to my display but not make use of that convenient Apple bar at top; really - it can display more colors than black on gray - if I get mail just flash the mail icon up there or the like. Since third party apps can use this I hope we get a global opt out
Then comes the walled garden, I wonder what the default will be for new machines coming with Mountain Lion?
I am a little surprised that the dock at the bottom is surviving, been getting worried that its demise is soon.
Interface wise, looks like a spit between white on dark gray and black on white... are the teams not talking to each other?
Hey Apple! There are many things that work well in the device/touch world that need to stay there.
The real problem is... we are spending money we don't have and bitching about where this funny money is being spent instead of the fact we are spending it.
Even if he did allocate that two hundred twenty six million dollars its not money we have, its money your children or their children will pay.
We will have DEFICIT spent that few hundred million before the day is out many times over.
People need to get a clue, we cannot afford this reckless spending. People in the press were having cows over Bush's three hundred and four hundred billion dollar deficits and now that we have in excess of trillion dollar deficits all I read about is how drastic the cuts are!!!
What cuts?
Really people, get real. There ain't going to be any money for NASA or much else down the road unless we get spending under control. Don't look to tax your way out of it either, you could confiscate 100% of what is made over 250K and not pay this years deficit spending.
Sometimes I really wonder if intelligent people post to/. anymore especially after what I see rated insightful. Our budget deficit is almost higher than the budget of Germany.
I don't what it will take for you, but Apple has no allure for me anymore. I have had their products for many years and still have three in house, but I am done with buying their products going forward.
Fortunately Samsung just announced a Android 4 tablet coming in March, seven inch form factor which the Kindle Fire convinced we was best, so I may just be able to ditch that iPad.
This certainly ain't a property of Apple post Steve, they started down this road before he died and after reading quotes attributed to him I am quite sure this direction came from him too.
The sad part is that there are many good subs on reddit, too bad its wasted at a site like that.
The problem from my standpoint is the level of lewdness, if not down right creepiness, you find on that site is cause for alarm. It is sites like that give "nerds" a bad name. It plays to all the worst stereotypes. That site is a good study into how anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in some people.
I am a gamer, I have followed their SWTOR sub for some time. Yet every day we get bombarded by characters/companions in proactive poses, slave girl outfits, and the like. Is this the level of maturity that "nerds/geeks" exist? Have they not escaped middle school bathroom humor and expression yet?
The sad part is that many are in their twenties and thirties.
I mean no offense to you or your line of work, I am in the same boat. I followed. I am happy where I am at. I know where I want to be and work to get there.
Just like there are superstars in sports there are superstars in business. Whether they bring new products or innovation matters not, their drive is wholly different.
Now I know some will write it off to luck and yes, there are many cases of luck. Guess what, you don't get lucky not doing. You get lucky by trying, in some cases over and over and over.
Look at it this way, I would rather live in a system where there are untold riches for those who succeed. He isn't some politician deciding from up on high the winner or losers. He is deciding for himself and there are hundreds, if not thousands along for the ride. He created something many people value.
Some need that mythical pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow, others just feel the need to do. Which is he? Hell if I know. I don't have the drive but am quite happy to be in their world.
Cobb County has the second largest fleet of school buses in Georgia. The mere thought that nearly a thousand people don't obey the lights on a school bus each day is hard to believe. Hopefully they will release statistics to show how many people they are photographing.
Cobb County bus stats Transportation Department at a glance...
913 Bus Drivers
148 Bus Monitors
845 Conventional Buses
275 Special Needs Buses
813 Routes per day
41,978 Bus Stops per day
72,181 Miles Traveled per day
75,642 Students Transported each day
so you figure, if people won't respect school buses I betcha that San Fran certainly has problems with parking or violating bus lanes
he busted his ass getting to where he is. Instead of bemoaning a setback it probably caused him to try again, if not harder and smarter. You won't find the likes of him posting to some website bitching about how things aren't fair, how he don't get his fair share, how others should be giving he stuff, and so on and so on.
The biggest barrier to success in this country is yourself. The second biggest barrier is the government at all levels, the third is your competition. Money comes in somewhere on this list, not much further down.
You end up there by doing. This means that you put in many weeks if not years of ridiculous hours. You do it with a clear goal in mind. You compare your current position to your goal at all times and you make decisions on what to do next based on that.
See my tag, if you live comparing yourself to others you will never be happy.
Green is a buzzword. It has traction. It shows "they care".
When your totally out of ideas you start a buzzword blitz. In other words, find the guys who came up with this at NASA and show them the door. They obviously have nothing better to do.
but they have so convoluted the process that its impossible to follow what they are doing. Worse they now like to pass laws where the actions are decided by groups not yet formed thereby circumventing the action, penalty, and enforcement, parts of many laws.
have you seen the number of stories floating about talking about how primitive, out of touch, our Constitution is.
As in, its getting in their way more and more and they really don't like it. Worse, there are people in our country clamoring for stricter adherence to it.
Truly, if nothing makes a carrier more obsolete is a weapon that can hit one where there will likely be no practical defense. Is any surface ship safe from such a weapon? Yes I know you can definitely pilot an evasive course but you have to know your being attacked before you can do that.
So how many years before a surface fleet is rendered obsolete? All the quotes in the article about giving sailors more options and precision are too easily reversed.

Can we ban these in whole?
Oh I forgot they write rules for other people.
In most cases?

Obama has increased spending by 25% since he took office, the graphs are right here http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/president-obamas-spending/
