And do you think Putin the Powerful is any good for his people?
That has as much to do with my original point as asking if I think any other ruler is any good for their people. He is, as I said, the most powerful ruler in the world, able to the the US and NATO to back down over Syria's Bashar al Assad, and invade and annex part of the Ukraine, all the while having an economy that is shot.
only concerned with his standing in the world.
... as opposed to so many others whose main, or even sole, consideration is their standing in line getting money from lobbyists.
You can vote Trump if you so much desire another "strong leader" for the US
No I can't vote for Trump - I live in a saner country where anyone trying the crap that the republican candidates, or Hillary, would be given the boot. It would be Sanders or the Greenies.
I apologize for not doing more research before posting. Another report put the leak at something like 1/4 the maximum recommended maximum dose, which is a heck of a lot more than 0.1%.
A submitter that has had dozens of articles accepted, but has posted exactly one comment, and that was merely to make a correction to his/her submission. I frankly would not be too upset to see a rule implemented that says if you're not an active participant on the site, you don't get to submit articles. It might help to curb some of the unabashed clickbaiting.
Great idea - hopefully whipslash is running a script to see whenever their nym pops up and will consider your idea.
The need for new applications on mobile devices and tablets will help increase the demand for application software developers.
Apps apps apps - those jobs are the easiest ones to be done overseas. No job for YOU!
The health and medical insurance and reinsurance carriers industry will need innovative software to manage new healthcare policy enrollments and administer existing policies digitally.
Already outsourced. No job for YOU!
As the number of people who use this digital platform increases over time, demand for software developers will grow.
Demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of software. It takes the same number of developers to write the software, whether it's for 1,000 users or 2,000 users. Doubling the user base doesn't create double the jobs, unless you're doing it wrong. So, no job for YOU.
Systems developers are likely to see new opportunities because of an increase in the number of products that use software. For example, more computer systems are being built into consumer electronics and other products, such as cell phones and appliances.
built - in China. designed - in China. No job for YOU!
Some outsourcing to foreign countries that offer lower wages may occur. However, because software developers should be close to their customers, the offshoring of this occupation is expected to be limited.
Hahahahahaha - already demonstrably false. No job for YOU!
The future is grim, unless you can get a government job writing fairy-tale job expectation reports to be believed by willing fools.
Don't be so quick to knock those "human computers." At least they could do math, not like today where people have a hard time making change on a purchase or calculating sales tax in their head.
Education costs have far outpaced both inflation and the value add thanks to government subsidies that get hoovered up by the universities. In Germany, a university education is free, even for foreigners. The higher taxes graduates who get good jobs will more than make up for the cost to the taxpayers. Those good jobs exist because graduates, not being bogged down by 6-figure debts, can actually spend money that goes into the economy, rather than just paying back their student debts until they're on social security, or even longer.
Crazy student debt has created a generation that gets out of school so far in debt that their earnings don't prime the economy and create a virtuous circle of spending to create jobs.
Let's go to extremes - imagine if you had to go into debt for your primary and secondary education. Many wouldn't go, and those that did would be financially strapped, with whatever income they made going back to basic survival and debt repayments.
I'm just glad that my eyesight forced me out of programming, because it's now the pit from hell, a dead end trap, for the vast majority, and one that "more education" in the same field will never solve.
Sure, there's a list of alternatives to keep corporations honest and fair.
We could start by not allowing corporations to do tax shifting deals with places like Lichtenstein, and going after the secret bank accounts of their top people.
Get some jail terms for financial corruption so that we don't have a repeat of the "too big to fail" bs. (They weren't and should have been allowed to fail. Better short-term pain than long-term pain)
Ban high-frequency trading - it's basically front-running the market. Also, minimum hold times for stocks so that (1) market fluctuations don't cause huge stampedes, and (2) stocks become investments again instead of gambling and a quick way fo financial gain for company insiders.
Restore marginal tax rates to where they were when the economy was booming - in other words, much higher tax rates on the rich. Low tax rates do not create jobs, and do not encourage investment - they encourage playing the markets instead of building true value.
Trump is crazy, Putin is crazy, Clinton is... who knows any more.
Over the last couple of years Putin has demonstrated that he's the most powerful man in the world. Maybe he's on to something. Having a crazy-like-a-fox leader has its benefits. At the very least, it makes the leaders on the other side very nervous because they somply can't predict what you're going to do. Clinton is VERY predictable.
If you can't have Sanders (and you can be sure the Dems won't allow that) then you're better off with Trump. Screw the H1Bs, don't ratify the TPP and TTIP free trade deals that are the perfect way for corporations to both avoid taxes and push a rush to the bottom wrt workers.
Trump is on record as being against H1Bs and for Planned Parenthood. Clinton still won't release the transcripts for all those $250k-$430k speeches she made to the banks. She's bought and paid for. Maybe Trump will be a sell-out, but we know Clinton is.
New York State will investigate high levels of radioactive contamination found in the groundwater at the Indian Point nuclear plant, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Saturday.
The governor said water contaminated with tritium had leaked into the groundwater at the plant, causing “alarming levels” of radioactivity to be found at three out of the 40 monitoring wells on the site.
One of the wells reported a 65,000 percent increase in the water’s level of radioactivity, Mr. Cuomo said, citing a report by Entergy Corporation, which owns the plant.
At the same time, it's reported as being 0.1% of acceptable levels... but it's not clear from the article if they're talking about that well, all the detection wells combined, or the property.
Okay, that has got to be one of the stupidest AC comments I've ever seen. I'm not even going to reply to what you wrote except to say that if you want a reply, log in. Otherwise, DIAF:-)
I'm tired of replying to bullshit arguments from anonymous cowards. Life is too short to waste on ignorami. Want a real response - go to the effort of creating an account.
You miss the point - even if she wants kids, you still have the option of not having any by a simple snip-snip. After all, you might not know when she ovulates, but you know when you cum, and the potential consequences. And you know what we call people who use ovulation date as a birth control method? Parents.

The vast majority of psychiatrists disagrees with you. So, who am I going to listen to - some crank on the Internet who cites a viewpoint that was disproved by empirical evidence? I think not. Go peddle your bible crap somewhere else.
The summary says they haven't done any distribution, so they have no requirement to release the source.
since they shelved the projects in which the OSS code was to be used, they don't have to release the code to the public.
Also, it's impossible to "abuse" BSD-licensed code. The license literally says do whatever you want with it, including selling it, with no need to release source ever. Microsoft has just followed the license.

I saw that movie. Canada and the US merge, a Canadian is elected, plane sabotaged, US vice-president becomes president.

The discrepancy, in and of itself, is scary.

Texas? Are you refering to the state that has gone out of it''s way to hamper women's civil rights by enacting new barriers to abortion?
Or is it Texas - the state that has made it illegal for people who are legally women to use the women's washroom?
Or is it Texas - the state that just loves to hate on anyone not white?
Texax - where if you're not white and male, you're sh*t. No thanks.

Sorry - already saw a doctor to have that "taken care of" :-)
Hey, I am NOT that polluted! :-)
They can always import water from Flint ... at least the lead will block a bit of the radiation .
You did - look at the submitter.
Also, since we don't know when we got the moon (we're not even sure how we got it), we can't just extrapolate backwards to a day of 6.5 hours.

Because the two go hand-in-hand, have many of the same provisions, and TIPP countries have juries.
You miss the point - even if she wants kids, you still have the option of not having any by a simple snip-snip.

Sure men get a say in abortion - you don't make a baby, there's no abortion. Or did you miss sex ed? :-)

Yep - all those fundies who are against abortion need to get their tubes snipped (male AND female. We don't need any more Duggar clans.
