There's some software called "Mind Reading" from here (warning: don't even try to order from there, it's a mess), developed at Cambridge. It helps people figure out what emotions others are expressing. That is a key social skill that super-smart people tend not to have, it's suitable for children.
Congress can also impeach judges after they have been appointed, but in 228 years of American history the number of times that power has been exercised can be counted on one hand.
Optimist view: wow, that shows how great the system is, we have a uniformly high standard of judges, a society of saints!
Pessimist view: The lawyers who make it into Congress obviously think all judges are very good, no matter how bad they are.
Remembering when manufacturing went off-shore? We'd prosper in the "knowledge" fields. Now those are starting to migrate. I guess we'll just prosper in the "physical-presence-required" service fields.
I'm working on a PhD in archaeology.... But I love my life!... I don't plan to stay here forever.) But for me, it was no choice: job and LIFE satisfaction over any amount of money, any day.
Although we can be reasonably well-assured that the computers were state-of-the-art at the time, the clothes and haircuts are another matter. Please remember that these are professional geeks we're talking about, and are therefore not exactly cutting edge when it comes to fashion....I know this because I was in college in 1984, and we all looked great, but these guys look like dorks.
In five years, this will be the style for everyone, the way fashions go, so they _are_ cutting edge.
Back in '96, when Ed Foster had Iomega at the top of his bad list, I had a tape drive go bad. Their whole repair process was screwed up, so I wrote a letter to the president of the company, documenting all the support calls and efforts made to ascertain the status. I asked, "Will I ever see my tape drive again?" A week later, I had it back, fixed. Go Straight to the Top.
This product is not to be confused with newly renamed Firefox web browser, which was also called Firebird for some time.
And it is not to be confused with the Pontiac Firebird automobile, which was popular for a while but now discontinued. They do make a Sunfire now, which is not to be confused with Firefox, a web browser, which used to be called Firebird, which is now a dbms.
I rediscovered wargames, which I used to play as a teen--the maps and counters type, whereas now it's the PC versions. They're great for business travel--don't need a hefty laptop for them, can make a few moves as time permits, can let games stretch out for months, don't need the constant work on the hand-eye skills, which deteriorate with age anyway. I've always liked the thinking, reflective games better anyway, not the instinct/reaction speed games.
It does use fossil fuels but most people are just too "small picture" to realize it.
Thank you for exposing the fraud. I love the comment in the story, "But unlike oil or coal, hydrogen must be produced -- there are no natural stores of it waiting to be pumped or dug out of the ground." Yeah, there are pools of ethanol just bubbling in Yellowstone.
BTW, this is good news for Kentucky! I highly recommend Robert Mitchum's _Thunder Road_, a B Classic.
It can't be that fun to work on -- Did you guys know that Microsoft has to _pay_ people to work on this codebase! If there was really anything interesting in it, people would be working there for fun on their own time.
They get paid for the first 40 hours in a week, then the other 60-70 hours is for the fun of it all.

I would never sacrifice my uptime stats to indulge in such impulsive behavior.

Whoa, slow down, pardner! You're only supposed to _imagine_ these things, not really build them.
Well, they _are_ asking for volunteers. I'm sure somebody is better than nobody.
they had found some Spice.

Thanks, I just ate, that was absolutely revolting.
It's dumb when you're old, and it's dumb when you're young.

That or they're playing too many video games. "We need the F-22 and JSF to counter the alien invaders."
I think it's a deliberate attempt to dishonor all Indians under the guise of honoring them. Yeah, that's it.

It always works for me. YMMV.

Bug-free code? Step 2 being "Then a Miracle Occurs." From a Sidney Harris cartoon. (Look here.)
