I put $.25 in on monday, $.50 on tuesday, $1.00 today. I will be a billionaire before the middle of next month, and by June, my savings will be on par with the Worlds 2010 GDP. If I new it was that easy, I would have started saving months ago.
Farmville, one of the attributed credit sources, wasn't sufficient to hold the interest of my 9 year old for any length of time. I hear its really popular with meth heads, so maybe he meant "Facebook will corner the market on meth-heads by 2015"?
Seems awfully advanced for a travesty generator; the phrase structure is close to language. Also, there is a vague relationship between the subject matter of the phrases.
Weird, its somewhere in the region of insane babbling. Are we sure its not Charlie?
APK is a travesty generator? Does it script./ to auto-reply to posts? Its kinda funny, and I wonder if we could replace Charlie Sheen with a similar program...
Not just that, they should articulate what it really is that they are looking for so schools can stop shooting wildly.
I suspect the problem is that they don't know; that they want "someone that is good". To someone skilled in the arts of Human Resources, this can only mean good degree from a good school.
Really we need more categories. +1 incoherent +1 too many ellipses +1 imaginative use of mixed case +1 disturbing +1 peculiar +1 could be charlie sheen
You need one core for each finger, so if you want four-finger gesturing you need four cores. If you only have one core, you get the finger.
That is why my 8-core imac is soo cool, I have two magic mice - one per hand, and a magic trackpad for each foot; I can type with my nose, and still have 3 cores to spare in case one breaks down.
Apparently a sad testament [ damn, that word ] to the state of general education that anything that isn't boring (ie. testable ) must be dealt with by superstition.
Science is lovely, and I am quite happy to enjoy my iPod and all the fruits of progress. There is a complex beauty to the world, and you don't need superstition to enjoy it.
It is a figure of speech as well as a measure of desire to say that "I would take a pay cut...". In this case, it actually makes sense, but that still doesn't mean taking it literally....
I switched to full-time telecommute 10 years ago, and it definitely has financial advantages, in addition to enhancing your quality of life.
Career-wise was quite the change. Being out of immediate touch is a nice bonus, since you don't have to put up with all those 'quirky' people you work with, but you can still pull off informal social occasions with the co-workers you can stand.
Eventually, you become a 'virtual contractor' - you aren't really part of it, you are an outsider that does task work. This is the perfect segue into becoming a 'real contractor' and working for yourself.
If you time it right, you can arrange a 'buy out' from your employer, to help ease the transition, and from then on everything is great.
Next time you are listening to some doofus expand a 30s presentation into a 1 hour seminar; look at the people around you. Some will have a look of annoyance at their time being wasted; some will be asleep; some will be hanging on every word as if their next advancement depended upon it; and some will be quite serene. The latter is your contractor, because how your company wants to piss away its money doesn't bother them. They just want some to splatter on them.
Outside of contribution to the greenhouse effect, coal plants do not have long-lasting (multi generational) dangers. In just 20-30 years, the dangerous emissions have been substantially reduced by an industry doing the very least that they could.
Until the nuclear industry can come up with a plausable solution, the tonnes of radioactive waste - fuel, clothes, tools, etc... - generated, they will always have an acceptance problem.
I found a reference where IDC claims that their forecasts are right 70% of the time - without any clear definition of right. In general weather forecasting is about 61%.
Does anybody do actual vs forecast benchmarking for these guys? I know the register had a long running gag about IDC's itanium forecasts http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/17/itanic_oracle_idc/page1.html is a good example. Is it because it feels like bullying to roll them over on this?
Usually nap time takes the sting out of them too, and if that fails a few minutes of sitting in the corner will suffice. You don't need to unleash fancy tools like logic....
Its a bit trickier than that. In a majority government, there is little to be gained by lying and being miscreants. Shy of a mutiny within your majority party, your legislation won't be defeated, so why risk your neck lying or abusing your privilege.
In a minority, it is really the same situation, only more-so. It is difficult to make one-sided legislation into law; so in theory your legislation should be better balanced, with more facts and figures.
That is where the last government fell down so badly. They had cabinet ministers (representatives with super powers) fraudulently altering official documents to make partisan hackery look like business as usual. They were hiding the costs of legislation, and bullshitting (correct term here: promoting something you know not to be the truth; as opposed to lying: misrepresenting something you know not to be true as true) about it both in a sweeping crime legislation and a bunch of war toys.
Lest you think it some sort of paradise - it took over a year to get the fraud out in front, and 8-9 months over the financial shenanigans. An election was inevitable, as there are five or six other abuses ready to enter the same pipe.
Also, this is the first time any commonwealth government has ever been found in contempt (we are number 1 - woo hoo)! So, yes, the safe guards against blatant abuse are there, but they are seldom used, and very slow to deploy.

I think the little one is a lot easier; although the big one is pretty much undifferentiated tissue.

D, R, L, TP, Gr?

Long lineups at the checkout are a barrier; so I just stuff the things in my pockets and head for the door.
I believe that the 'stretch Mercedes Limo' has replaced the broadaxe as the weapon of choice.
Interesting, though, the term 'broad axe' - I guess misogyny in the royals runs deep....

I think the real question is "why do you have to be afraid to open a spreadsheet?".
I know FLASH is just the easiest way to get in - but does excel really need a way to run arbitrary code?
Duff-man, take her call. I think she can explain it to you.
I still hate the keylogging bastards that they are, and I want to see the whole company in jail...
