Come on, she was almost due. Aren't 3rd trimester abortions already illegal? Even reasonable people who disagree on when life begins will agree that a child's life was taken in this case. Although IIRC there have been a lot of cases where they would bring a double murder charge for killers of women fairly early in a pregnancy... Perhaps your theory has some merit after all. Or maybe I'm just remembering TV lawyer shows.
First, the Japanese made more fuel-efficient cars at a critical time for that, and they also worked obscene hours to do it.
You can say let the person who works hardest win, whatever's best for the consumer, yadayada. But the bottom line is that money flowed like a river from the US to Japan and made that country a financial powerhouse in the 80s. Japanese investors & tourists put a bunch of that money back into our economy, but can we assume the same will happen with the various countries we now steadily pour money into via outsourcing?
Also, foreign products are one thing, labor is another. The reason why is that with a foreign product you are dealing with a foreign company that hires its own people and pays them something that makes sense within the closed system of their economy, whereas with just labor you have a US company paying that same person much less in US dollars than would make sense in the US economic system. The exchange rate could take care of this kind of problem, but it obviously doesn't since the cost of living doesn't seem to line up with it.
Finally, I can't believe this has to be said, but if it's us or them I CHOOSE US.
Wow are you missing the point. The labor cost is much, much cheaper in India. It is not a living wage in the US. If you want to compete with that, be my guest.
Watched a few this year and they seem significantly less awkward. Even pretty good in some cases. Certainly better than TNG could claim in year 2. Now, if they could get up to the level of TNG years 3 thru 5, that would be awesome. Seems like all the new treks have taken a little while to ramp up and figure out what works (most TV shows seem to have an awkward first year before they get in the groove, but treks seem to require a couple).
No way man, Voyager's was the best. Didn't like it at first, but it's the most musically interesting. The new show's theme however is awful, and the fact that Diane Warren wrote it should be no surprise to anyone familiar with her oscar-winning brand of tripe.
Minor correction, there were some sunday strips in "Loose Tails", but it looks like a bunch are probably missing as the book goes 10 weekdays then 1 sunday more often than not (but sometimes there are sundays like 4 days apart for some reason).
Unless you have another job lined up, you really can't afford to get yourself fired over this. If you have "at will" employment, you can be terminated for any reason or no reason whatsoever, so your potential lawsuit would not be certain to succeed. Make sure the company is an LLC or whatever (so you can't personally be sued) and just do the (probable) crime. Companies wrong their competitors all the time, working on the assumption it will be worth it when they get big enough to stomp them/pay them off a la micros~1.
Alright there Fox Mulder, I'll just skip to #7 and point out that what they mean is discovering a new law of nature would be its own thing provable using existing knowledge; once that is done you could then use that new law to back up your discovery. You can't just make up a law to back up a hypothesis.
Well it turns out you can't run an AT from a regular user account, but what you can do is almost as bad. If, as any user, you replace logon.scr with cmd.exe, logoff, and wait for 15 minutes or whatever the screensaver timeout is, you will then have a command prompt with system-account access. It won't let you change passwords, but you can do other stuff like muck with services. Bleh.
You can't "login" as SYSTEM, but it looks like you can get SYSTEM-level priveleges by doing:
AT xx:xx/INTERACTIVE "CMD"
(where xx:xx is some future time, like a minute from now) at a command prompt since the scheduler runs on the SYSTEM account. News to me. Gonna go see if I can change my admin password from a guest account.
I don't think you want to be transferring large amounts of material from the moon to earth given the fact that the moon's orbit would eventually be significantly altered.
OK "hit by train" is being taken too literally here, subsitute "hit by car" or even "hit by hijacked airplane while sitting at desk" and you will understand the guy's point. But then I guess you already did understand and were just being an ass.
If you don't think the word "weasel" is amusing in and of itself, Dave probably can't do anything for you. Humor is very subjective, which explains why the Simpsons are still on the air 6 years after the laughter died for me...
While perhaps unnecessarily foul, the poster has a point. I have never understood people who get irate at restaurants. I mean, come on, if someone was being a dick to you and you were making/serving their food, wouldn't you give them a little "something extra?" Heck, I have known people that would befoul food in advance just for the laugh, independent of any customer.
Bottom line, if you act like a jerk, you are basically demanding that someone blow their nose into your food.
I just started playing it for the first time this week (didn't get around to system shock 2 until last year, what can I say, I'm lazy). You are right, it is eerie. We are like one bio-terrorism strike away from the scenario depicted in the game...
Only to a point. As an example, I have a gig of ram (there was a sale, ok?) and my pc performs exactly the same as when it was 512mb (win2k pro). I even tried doing the ram-as-swap-disk thing, since I seemed to have an extra 512mb not ever getting touched. There was no noticable performance difference and I didn't want to pay for the ramdisk driver, so back to 1GB I went, for all the good it does me.
was because the last one was just awful. Laughably bad at times. I was personally embarassed to be a fan of the series. I didn't really want to see this one based on the trailers and the experience with the last one, but I wound up going on opening weekend anyway. Fairly enjoyed it, although it is way too ambitious to succeed in 2 hours and has several key script mistakes. Will buy the DVD though.

You can only find them used - they've been out of print for years.

I guess the file permissions you refer to don't exist on Win2k workstation don't because I did it as a lowly user account and it worked just fine.

well, the administrator seems to have access to encrypted data by default on my machine. not sure how to disable that access or if it is possible...
EFS is circumvented by this glitch, though...

I guess this is the same as:
N = {x:x>10}
meaning, N is the set of all x such that x>10. In this context the colon means "such that", so using it like this:
for (String s: c){...}
does not seem very apt to me. Seems kinda random actually. But I'm in a bad mood, so whatever.
I mean, look at the source. It's a CON-spiracy site. Wait for the real deal, if it exists.

Ah but Conan was producer on some great ones.
Any, and I mean ANY, episode of family guy is about 10 times better than every episode of the simpsons shown since 1999, and most since 1997.
