you have no comprehension of how "cost of living" varies from city to city? Just because it's 97% "nationwide"...it costs far more to live in California as it does in the midwest.
Ah, Accenture! At HP, they've been gutting the "Global Service Delivery Help Desk" using that company. All the LTE (long term employees, as opposed to FTE or full time employees) people are being forceably converted to contractors via Accenture. Even the "team leads" and "desk managers" are being given the boot. I'm guessing it's at least 100 people...many of them having worked for HP for 5+ years are loosing all their benefits and their basically loosing a few thousand a year...not to even mention what it's doing to retention and moral.
interesting...so, for the highest amount of CO2 sequestration we should be planting trees and recycling them back into the ground as fertilizer for the next batch on a five or so year cycle?
no, they comprehend the idea of "the ocean is a heat sink", Mr. Coward. It has been absorbing most of the additional heat, thus the rise in sea levels. Unfortunately, the ocean can't keep this up forever.
when someone posted a picture of some wood left hanging in Moore, OK after the tornado...people got upset that I thought that IF this was a sign from God, IF God put this "cross" there, then He also caused that tornado...like a signature at the bottom of a painting. And that obviously God doesn't like the people in that area very much. The more they pray, the worse the weather gets.
Even if God exists, there is an even smaller chance that It would be the one described in the current Christian Bible. If one looks at all the disasters, plagues, wars, etc and puts those in the "God did this" column, it really looks more like God just barely tolerates humanities existence and doesn't really like us very much. He seems very distant, passive-aggressive, and sometimes very violent and genocidal. I personally am unable to "worship" any entity like that, nor do I wish to spend an eternity with an entity that endorses all of the horrific acts in the Old Testament.
hmmm...so, Satanic witch hunters? Since no Christians are witches, that implies that this person would both have to be anti-Christian and also a witch hunter, since witches are a separate "religion" as well. Maybe a fundamentalist Muslim who hunts Wiccans? Or are they using "witch" just as a adjective and don't realize that there are people who refer to themselves as "witches" aka Wiccans...
Creationists shouldn't use computers or the internet, since that technology relies on science as opposed to "God magic".
No, they will never be kosher. Well, there isn't any actual limitation on silicon in Leviticus, but I doubt any Rabbis will say that the consumption of internet devices will ever be kosher.
Their only a "victim" due to lax security. The corporation broke the law too, by not properly securing their data as required by HIPAA law. And we SHOULD accuse them partially for the success of the criminals, as they enabled them twice. Once by having crap security, and two by not even noticing for an entire year. The HIPAA law might have changed since I did audits, but your supposed to do them on a yearly basis as well. So, triple failure.
As a side note, there seems to be a marketing opportunity here for security companies to do active domain name "dyslexic" attacks. It seems it would be trivial to have a script that transposes numbers into the real URL and does a WHOIS on a scheduled basis. Really, there are probably a dozen employees at Carefirst who could do this. At my job, probably over 50% of the people I directly work with could either do this off the top of their head or figure out how to do this in a few days; and their not even programmers or such.
Doesn't matter, HIPAA law doesn't have a designation that says "non-profits don't have to follow this law". Care First should be receiving a fine for every piece of lost information. Just because it's member owned doesn't mean they don't have to do security audits, real-time monitoring, etc. If anything these "members" who own it should be on the hook personally for the fines. If it's "your business" (ie, member owned) and your making profit off it, you should also be an active participant in the business.
that's why their posting as an AC, their afraid to attach their name to their statements because they know their flat-out lying. I'll bet they are actually either a friend of this principal, or somehow tied back to the school itself.
I hope you never have a job that asks you for your opinion on this type of issue, since you couldn't be more wrong. It's even in the article...
Title 17 of the United States Copyright Law, which denotes that the “Copyright in a work protected under this title vests initially in the author or authors of the work”; in the case of photography, the individual who presses the shutter is the ‘author’.
In addition, the District’s Board Policy Manual explicitly states “a student shall retain all rights to work created as part of the instruction or using District technology resources.”
Nice try Coward, but both copyright law AND the school's own policy disagree with you. This is even in TFA itself: "Title 17 of the United States Copyright Law, which denotes that the “Copyright in a work protected under this title vests initially in the author or authors of the work”; in the case of photography, the individual who presses the shutter is the ‘author’.

I hope you don't have a job that depends on you giving them advice like this, because if you do your company is probably violating the law all the time based on your "idea" of how the law works, as opposed to reality.
have been destroyed. A few tech friends and I had a HUGE pile, so we took them all and spent a few hours throwing them again a wall in an abandoned industrial area. Much fun!
They should be put on some type of national-level "bad cop list" so no jurisdiction in the US can ever hire them as law enforcement again. Unfortunately, nothing like that exists and these "bad cops" just move somewhere else and end up violating people's rights in their new town.
It's not "bad" about Muslims, it's a fact. There is a big rock that they all make a pilgrimage to, in Mecca, named Alhajar Al-Aswad. It could also be a piece of shock glass from an impact. And your not quoting me about "blinding", I didn't type that. Not sure why you think I said anything about "blinded by a meteorite"...maybe you should read my comment again? Here is some info on Constantine and the possibility of a meteorite fueling his conversion, or at least his conversion of everyone else since he didn't actually convert until on his deathbed.
It's not "bad" if they worship a space rock, it's somewhat common. It does seem a bit paradoxical for a religion that is so iconoclastic to hold a physical object in such veneration.
returning to the stars. Quite poetic, for a country who worships the Alhajar Al-Aswad (The Black Stone). Saul, who became Paul, also was spooked into religion by a meteorite...Constantine's "vision" may well have also been burning, falling rocks. The UAE most likely has some pretty advanced tech for looking at water...launching a probe to Mars isn't the difficult part. That is getting the probe deployed and functioning properly once it's there lol.

we demand..an OVER-CLOCKED shrubbery! Ni! Ni! Ni!
Henp fibers have been shown to work far better than just wood. And as your boat melts you can smoke it...
and won't burst into flames if it goes over 451 degrees Fahrenheit!

We don't need to. The vast canyon systems would provide more than enough caves and places to cap off. It's like a dome with the walls already built.

an FBI honeypot trap. Yes, come to the site, ask for people to do illegal things...send them some $, have the FBI show up at your door.

Constantine didn't fully convert until he was on his deathbed, he mostly did it for political reasons.

Mostly because I read this page and a few others...and this satisfies Occam's Razor far more than a supernatural being.
