I'm agnostic. And certainly don't have a dislike for abortion because of anyone or anything religious. But I believe that life starts at conception.
If you believe that life starts at conception, you have to believe that birth control (convenience) abortions are wrong. Even Libertarians would have to fight for the rights of the unborn. They wholly believe in the absolute rights of the individual, even those who can not defend their own.
The idea that any one person has the right to snuff a life just because it's wholly dependent on that person for survival, is lunacy. The government will charge you with two murders for killing a pregnant woman. Yet it's legal for her to have that child sucked into a sink.
The position by the administration is to not spend tax dollars on providing information to support these actions.
If you think it's okay to deny rights to unborn children, wtf makes you think any of us deserve them?
So if you don't agree with the laws a people put in place for themselves, it's ok to steal their stuff? So we really should be stealing everyone's oil, then?
And no, it's not "legally" violating my IP. It's called theft. It's not the authority of the WTO to alter the licensing of my commercial products. And it's certainly not their authority to strong arm us into changing our laws.
So, some international group has decided on its own that because this island is upset at not being able to take Americans for lots of money, that they can now steal my IP?
Typical industry actions. I have a friend who works for Office Depot. They have cut their sales staff to the bone so much that they are now trimming hours off of their full-time employees weeks in order to inflate their numbers.
Meanwhile, they continue to maintain a corporate jet for the CEO, and replace the carpet in the corporate office building every year. Whether it needs it or not.
My materials engineering professor hated plastic. He pointed out that the properties of any metal, when tempered in a known process, were known and consistent throughout the material. And the manufacturing process for plastic generated chains of unknown and varying lengths. Therefore, the actual properties of any given plastic material, weren't completely known.
Why trade a perfectly known material for an imperfectly known material?
I am currently working on my second BS after graduating with my first about 13 years ago.
I have become disappointed with what currently passes as teaching in my current university.
Text book publishers now provide to professors a teachers copy of the text book, a program to generate multiple choice tests, and Power Point presentations (poorly written) for the entire text book. Using these 3 tools, anyone can teach any class.
Engineers can be coders and programmers, but coders and programmers cannot be engineers.
Designing software is NOT engineering. Managing design, programming, testing, etc a program is not engineering either, it's project management.
Those that program systems related to physical engineered projects, are engineers involved with the design of the hardware, not programmers.
A "computer/software engineer" or "computer scientist" is not going to be used, for example, to program a feedback control system for a helicopter. The engineers that design it are going to do the software as well. A "software engineer" wouldn't have a damn clue how a helicopter's control system works.
And no, I don't buy the idea that the Windows OS is an engineered product.
I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering (and while no PE exists for my field, I still consider myself an engineer) and am currently working on a BS in Computer Science. Right now I pay my bills doing internet application development. Currently, I am a code monkey. I would never embarass myself by claiming to be a software engineer.
The sly part is Microsoft implementing P3P without telling anyone. Session management across the web getting slayed, and developers left slack jawed in frustration as to why.
I'm for self-regulation. P3P is self-regulation. I think it's a good idea...but only when everyone knows about it!

I wouldn't install this tonight. My new MBP is stuck in a reboot loop.
For about $45 million they could get a perpetual license to FAST's software and the stack of 500 DL 380s it's currently sitting on.
...was through someone else's monitor.

How do we sue the WTO?

Um. Pound implies force per square inch (PSI), not mass times acceleration.
When your air gauge indicates 30 pounds inflation on your car tire, you haven't added 30 pounds of weight.
Using one page of information for Google's spider and then using a redirect for a non-spider user. It's an SEO tactic.
When you can say what it is and someone can code it in less than hour.

Power Point encourages laziness.
