In some states you can be fired for anything except age, sex, race, regilon or national origin; It's probably safer for the employer to fire you for no reason than for a reason litigation wise.
You sir have never watched rabbits breeding, they go like Michael Phelps for 20 seconds then fall over like they were pole-axed; doesn't look like fun to me, I think they died every time I see it.
Microsoft submitted OOXML to the international standards body Ecma International in November 2005 as an attempt to fast-track it through the ISO. Despite protests and criticisms, that process eventually proved successful on April 1, when the ISO approved OOXML as a standard.
On Wednesday, Microsoft said it will not have support for the current ISO specific for OOXML until it releases the next version of Office, code-named Office 14. The company has not said when that software will be available. Update: Microsoft to support ODF, PDF in Office next year
I guess we'll see when they actually try to do it, we'll all laugh hysterically if it turns into another Vista disaster and they can't cut features because they are locked into an ISO standard!
Who do you think that these wonderful leaders are? They put their pants on one leg at a time just like you and me. Most of the bureaucrats who prepare these decisions are no more educated than you or I. Governments, even authoritarian ones, are the people..
not mine, in the People's Democratic Wprker's Paradise Republic of Elbonia, Microsoft provides us with 3 employess, on holders our Glorious Leaders pants open while the other two pick him up and slowly lower him into his pants!
Not in the US. Here all that is required to search a car is probable cause.
I don't believe that's correct, the Police may look through your windows, and upon seeing an otherwise illegal item have sufficient probably cause for a search or even a seizure, this still would be held to the same standards as obtaining a warrant prior to the search or seizure. They will however ask you to do things that you wouldn't want to do if you were a criminal and evidence of your crime was in your car, and for most people having your vehicle impounded to protect the "evidence" prior to obtaining a search warrant from the Judge on Monday morning tends to spoil your whole weekend so most people just roll over for them.
that's the problem with the IOC and the local organizing commitees they are whacko organization theat routinely steamrollers anyones rights to protect their perceived turf or more importantly their revenue stream.
IOC could be best described the offspring of the UN and the RIAA
I suppose when he get s the bill, there will be suit file against the municipality for damages to his property, the return of his illegally confiscated property, expenses inured for the motel and meals purchased, legal fees and punitive damages.
The guy was a retired professional chemist, the chemicals were in vials, bottle ect. a vial implies a quantity in the range of 15 - 60 mL, and the chemicals were described as about as hazardous as common household cleaners by people who have a cover-their-ass interest in the event. Sorry I'm still not impressed.
Oh dear god tell me it isn't true, that crap is pure unadulterated global warming! Next you'll be telling me that you can buy baseball bats without a license that can be used to club baby harp seals to death with!
(G) a filter, Buchner, or separatory funnel these are all types of funnels, a filter funnel is what most people think of as a chemistry filter inside a glass funnel, a Buchner funnel has a flat bottom and a filter place on the bottom and the filtrate is drawn through under partial vacuum and a separatory funnel has an stoppered opening at the top and a valved opening at the bottom and two immiscable liquids such as water and oil is placed in it and a chemical in the water is drawn into the oil to separate it from other chemicals. These are very specific yet common part of an organic chemistry kit
I used to live just down the street from that lab, it was raided college student doing an archaeological dig on the site and several apothecary bottles were recovered. The train station where he boarded to sell news papers on the route to Detroit has been turned into a museum, there is a passenger car in front of the station that has really unique 3 axle trucks.
The guys air conditioner caught on fire, how is that a hazardous materials event? If calling the FD starts resulting in a monumental legal brouhaha, how likely are people to call the FD while they still have a chance to contain the blaze before it burns down half the neighborhood?
I'm a chemistry, by industry, by education and if I saw 1500 vials, jars, cans, bottles and boxes sitting around full of chemistry stuff I'd want some authority to check it out.
If you had said
"I'm a Chemist, by training and profession and if I saw 1500 vials, jars, cans, bottles and boxes improperly stored, full of chemicals I'd want some authority to check it out."
your troll would have been much more effective, especially if you exclude fireman with a bit of hazmat training and building inspectors from being considered an authority.
None of the materials found at 81 Fremont St. posed a radiological or biological risk, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection. No mercury or poison was found. Some of the compounds are potentially explosive, but no more dangerous than typical household cleaning products.
Most people would be really pissed if the had to spend several days in a motel because the fireman found a can of Draino and a bottle of vinegar downstairs in the basement

The laughs on you, I edit LaTeX source with Emacs you insensitive clod
isn't that what they call guerrilla marketing?
I went to Basic Training in 1973 and 2/3's of the training would be considered torture by today's standards.

They both suck, LaTeX rawks forever! WYSIWYG is for L0s3rs, Kiddies and Old People in Korea; real men edit their LaTeX source files in ED!
you must be new around here, the OOXM/ISOL brouhaha was pretty mild for Microsoft; usually they kill the men, rape the women and eat the children.
(from the oh-man-what-a-hangover dept.)
nope that's the "Waking-up-next-to-a-fat-ugly chick-with-3 green-teeth-and-your-condom-is-still-in-your-wallet dept.".
it pretty effectively shows how little consideration time was put into each page of OOXML spec compared to other specifications

if i wanted to take pictures for planning a clandestine event; a super uber DSLR is the last thing I would use, a rent-a-cop wouldn't even see it.

A good ol' fashioned hack and slash on the wii sound like a good way to get some chunky-but people a little less chunky-butted

Sounds like your dept is a real class act, your community is lucky to have you guys.
