If you don't know what's important to another person, then you don't really know them. She's saying she feels like a stranger to her parents, or worse, since most people are at least polite to strangers.
No, you just lose your job for using the "N" word. No, you just lose your job for having a bible on your desk. Hell, you can lose your job for saying "Nappy Headed Ho's"
Damn right you can. If I'm paying you to perform a task, and that task doesn't include spewing whatever rhetoric and half-thoughts your underdeveloped mind struggles to put together, then I have every right to fire you when you deviate from that job description. If your language and/or conduct are detrimental to your job performance and/or costing me money, you're batshit crazy if you think I'm going to continue paying you. It has nothing to do with censorship and everything to do with creating a hostile work environment by belittling your co-workers and/or driving business away by belittling potential customers.
In summary, you're a tool, and your arguments have nothing to do with the merits or shortcomings of protected classes. Fortunately for your would-be employers, there's one class that still has no protection: the stupid.
I've had excellent results with the Bluetooth Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 Supposedly an 8000 version was supposed to be released with backlit keys ala the Logitech G15 (wired) keyboard, but I haven't seen one for sale yet. I've tried several other keyboard/mouse combos, and they all cap out at about 6 feet. The Bluetooth setup, meanwhile, works from the next room, and the mouse is surprisingly responsive.
The solution is simple: The steam engine! Peak coal is centuries away! Sure, you'll have to go out and start your steam engine a few hours before you're ready to leave, but it beats walking.
I used to be beat up as child, have always been small, am 28, has the mentality of someone much young, live alone, have thought that I was "fat" even thought I wasn't (went down to 54 kg at 173 cm as worst), and kind of still does.
And what makes you think the RFID tags will remain attached to the objects in question? The only thing kids like more than putting stickers on things is pulling stickers off of things.
Exactly.. storms and quakes are dangerous enough on land. And while there may not necessarily be physical assets worth plundering (because rich people never keep their valuables on hand, I guess), there are still protection rackets, hostage/ransom situations, and random violence to contend with, and as a wealthy independent nation, you'd be ripe for all of the above.
You'd have low volume, high cost, and high reliance on imports, with little to nothing to export, except perhaps intellectual property (with no means to protect), assuming you even believe in IP as a libertarian. Satellite internet is high latency, low bandwidth, and most people would probably be dissatisfied with such limited connection to the outside world.
Cabin fever is all but guaranteed, and an active social life is basically out of the question. You'd have to worry about mutiny, sabotage, fires, fresh water supply, leaks, maintenance, and all the other concerns of a seagoing vessel, without the convenience of being able to pull into a port if things get hairy. In short, it seems like the disadvantages seriously outweigh any advantage of pseudo-independence (pseudo, since you're still reliant on the outside world to A) play nice, and B) supply you with durable goods and consumables).
But what do I know? I've only spent 6 years in the Navy, and 6 years living on a small island.. not like I've had any relevant experience.
Of course they're increasingly moving away from a strict lowest-bidder philosophy, so that won't necessarily help. www.gsa.gov/performancebasedsolution
That's funny, CTRL-C works fine on my "Linux". Maybe you (and the GP) meant "I never leave the CLI", in which case we're all duly impressed, and stand in awe that you finish your work in a fraction of the time of us mousers. Hail master of the *sh && [vi/emacs/other archaic text editor you fanatically support].
There are a large enough number of flights even with fewer flights that it shouldn't effect the overall percentage of incidents per flight.
The ratio should remain constant only if all other factors remain constant, which is unlikely to say the least. One possibility is that in conjunction with a decreased total number of flights, there was an increase in the retirement of older, more experienced pilots. Perhaps an increase of flights coincides with increased pilot fatigue, or an influx of new pilots. And thanks to random groupings, any given year or set of years can see an increase or decrease in incidents, even if all other factors remained the same.
Instead of arguing with MADD solicitors, I just slur out the following: "Hold on, it's hard for me talk and drive at the same time, especially after I've had a few. OH SHIT!...I'll call you back."
He's actually looking at 40 to life, according to TFA. I don't feel like looking up why, but I'm guessing the prosecution didn't feel like pushing for it.
Coincidental evidence is not inadmissible. In fact, most cases are built on MANY such pieces of coincidental evidence which, when taken together, form a reasonable explanation of what happened.
It's not just psychology, it happens in IT too. Why, just the other day I noticed my hard drive had shit the bed. I took it in to the shop, and the guy told me it was because I dropped it. "But I have ANTIVIRUS software," I told him. That idiot just wouldn't listen to me.
Here's to people who can identify causation with no knowledge whatsoever! We should have a party.
Anyway, I agree that our prison population is something we should be considering very closely, both as a cost to society, and as a matter of humanity. Nonetheless, population statistics are meaningless without consideration of cause. Regardless of whether or not our drug laws are draconian, what is ratio of crimes in the US to those in other countries? And the ratio of crimes to convictions? Just because we have more people in jail isn't prima facie evidence that a) we don't have more crimes, and/or b) we're more successful at solving them.

Sadly, I suspect that a great many slashdotters have breasts. Male or female...
You must be new here; there are no female Slashdotters.

Hold on, I'm thinking..

Or for bonus points, link them all by six degrees.

Holy unstable tense/perspective/conjugation, Batman!
Actually, the advertisement says, "Just like we have with mine, LifeLock will make your personal information useless to a criminal. And it's GUARANTEED." (Emphasis theirs.)
So if what you say is correct, then they're at least guilty of false advertising.
I guess a 7.91MHz machine with 2 or 4MB of RAM is out of the question then..

I love throwing technology at problems, especially when those problems are people and the technology is an old monitor.

Clearly the solution is to follow Zimbabwe's lead by outlawing shape-shifting.

Followed by joke about how much easier it would have been.. if only he had been a Windows developer.

Ah, but it's stamped out drugs, right? Right?
