"I think some enterprising engineer should design a pressure sensitive mouse so when you press really hard or in rapid succession it means "I really mean to do this, do it NOW!" Or, perhaps a UX designer should have his shock collar activated momentarily?
I despise the ribbon. For that and many similar reasons I dumped all msft products. I realized that my dislike of the Windows products exceeded the pain of walking away from projects I had put a lot of work (and money) into. I'm not doctrinaire about it. I have recently tried the Win8 family. I'll take a look at 10. I give Msft credit that they appear to really be listening to customers now. But I have moved on to Linux and like it more and more - and the bar for Windows getting me back is getting higher.
You are a sample of just one. Employers are not always trustworthy or law abiding. Sometimes simply do not know the law. Lots of employers skirt laws with behaviour just barely inside the line, and in essense, discriminate all the time, etc.
I am a democrat and I guess I "should" declare JB to be an asshat for his mortal sin and enjoy the show. I cannot imagine voting for him. But, he's probably not his campaign's IT guy. Jeb probably had nothing to do with this idiotic error. I could be wrong there but, I'm not ready to hold him accountable for this error - unless he fails to apologize. It is his campaign and he should apologize and make sure it never happens again.
When government and or media don't interpret and disseminate science results faithfully, things like this happen. The story changes and changes again and then ordinary people, who once listened and took what information came out of government and media to heart, stop believing the public explications of science and start doubting experts of all kinds.
I have a suspicion that long ago, the folks who did the underlying science on nutrition tried to tell the bureaucrats that the work is complex and not yet certain, but that such precautions were lost on the decision makers at the agencies. Scientists in general are pretty careful with sweeping generalities. Maybe bureaucrats (and me) not so much.
Result: antivaxxers who trust nothing they dislike or that worries them; climate change denial, tin hat behaviour of all sorts.
Many posters feel that the technical superiority of their DSLR and the relative technical weakness of smart phone cameras means that smart phone pictures are a lesser entity. True enough if we all shoot subjects that play to the strengths of DSLRs and always have our dedicated camera equipment in hand and ready to go.
But in the real world, the truth is that I too often do not have my far superior professional cameras anywhere near me, but I have my cell phone on my person or within 2 feet of me near 24/7/365, and I have got far more really good shots with a smart phone than with all my wonderful and much loved high and medium end cameras and accompanying great lenses combined. All, just because I have it handy all the time and I've figured out what will and won't work on a teeeny little camera.
The images won't blow up very far, aren't terribly sharp... you name it, but they are way better than the image I didn't get.
And funny thing, all told, my track record is better with the dumb camera in the smart phone than the good cameras. All my photographic training with everything from DSLRs to studio 8x10" view cameras and lighting and some professional work etc, etc, etc, taught me enough to make very good use of a handy little crappy camera. In many ways, I'm a better photographer with a little crappy camera such as I at one time much derided.
Were I a greater sleazebag than I am, and were I, a democrat, willing to go way out on a limb, I'd try to make it look like the GOP was heavy handedly watching their votes with sleazy mailings like this to their loyal voters, to turn them off to their party. I couldn't do such a thing, but in my state, the GOP has been caught over and over pulling nasty scams.
I have no doubt my party has it's share of underhanded tricksters too.
I assume this is a piece of partisan sleaze.

Wouldn't Detroit's huge population decline also drive business out? 1950 - 1,849,568 . . . . 1960 - 1,670,144 . . . . 1970 - 1,511,482 . . . . 1980 - 1,203,339 . . . . 1990 - 1,027,974 . . . . 2000 - 951,270 . . . . 2010 - 713,777 . . . . (Wikipedia numbers)

Simpler version: "...Monster Cable produces nothing of value..."
Math is THE science. Everything is about provability and reproducibility.

Not to worry, the educators probably can't read anyway.
