It must be intersteller medium being denser causing heliosphere compression.
But we don't have any way to actually measure heliosphere compression,
say what? It's X? but we can't test for X?
but it's definitely that and not CO2 where we have clear and concrete evidence of at the VERY least a significant correlation between CO2 concentrations and temperatures.
mmhmm. [headdeskslam]
the density of the interstellar medium is much greater than in the past
Uh, a wee bit of proof for anything supporting this would be helpful to believe what seems to be the product of some really good shit you should share with friends...
The vehicle of 2 hours a day off my commute, well my Civic Hybrid anyway. I didn't buy it for the 'green' factor though I liked having the latest 'tech' so to speak.
But driving solo in HOV? Priceless...or rather about $5000 extra spread out over 9 years for 10/hrs a week? Still fucking priceless.
I see your point and it's also a micro-chasm of the current political season. We can train people here or we can let foreign countries do the training and reap the benefits of the knowledge and learning that comes with said training.
It's called investment in our own country and if colleges start dropping COMPUTER classes, we are wholly and totally screwed as a country.
Indeed I, an avid flaming liberal, agree that the Obamacare 'mandate' (GOP created though it is) is unconstitutional. What the fun Troll I am posting to and all the other right-wingers don't say is that they disagree with health care for all and that some babies should be left to die because their parents don't have insurance.
Sorry if that's harsh, but that is your blessed 'free market' at work. Either you have universal health-care, or you are okey dokey with letting people die because they don't have insurance. You can disagree with HOW you get universal coverage, but it's funny how the anti-Obamacare people are fairly silent on that other part...
Single payer gov't health care gives you WAY MORE control over your health care than any private insurance company does. you have zero say in their methods of business...you have 'some' say in how gov't works (at least we could if we could get over ourselves on both sides!).
For the record Bush didn't get as many actual nationwide votes as Gore, but since we have the electoral college instead (not a bad thing) he got more votes there. Had Gore actually contested and recounted the *entire* state of Florida, he would have won. But since he only contested certain districts once those were counted, he would still have lost electoral college wise even without the SCOTUS getting involved.
But don't they *have* to prosecute him because if they don't doesn't it get harder to prosecute other people? Can they be that 'picky' about who to prosecute for violations?
Xerox. My dad was laid off by them in his upper 50s and he fully qualified as a 'middle manager'. In fact Xerox laid off so many people and outsourced so many others that within 5 years had to hire my dad and many others back because the people who actually knew anything were gone in the wave of cuts.
And it has cost them dearly both financially and in reputation.
I specifically of one team that was downsized from 35 to literally 1 person with a few 'off shore' techs to handle support. That didn't end up being very successful.
Long story short, when a CEO/Board who have no long term vested interest (i.e. golden parachutes that kick in after only a few years) their decisions are going to be *very* suspect when it comes to long term knowledge of who to keep and who to get rid of. Because if it kicks you in the ass a year after your parachute opened...what the hell do you really care?
I'm a 42 yr old software engineer/programmer and I know the drill. I'm expensive compared to fresh out of college kid. But I have years of experience they don't have and my employer knows this. Will it save me completely? No, but in no other field can you self teach yourself into the skills you need to have tomorrow. It's that simple. those who go out and learn on their own to keep themselves current will continue to be worth the extra money, those that don't will simply make it easier for those of us who do.
On top of that, did you read today that the University of Florida just killed their ENTIRE Computer Science department? Seriously, it boggles the mind that a school could be so completely clueless. Yet as a programmer, I call it job security, there will be fewer people for an every increasing amount of my jobs. I think the trend recently ticked up but for almost a decade the number of programmers graduating in the US went down every year. You can't fire people when you don't have anyone to hire to fill their spot.
you should perhaps brush up on reading comprehension. This EXACTLY what I said they should do...in the way they do best, mass marketing in shows naming the guy and saying he's a douchebag for what he is doing. P & T are successful not because of their magic tricks, but because of the comedic talents, biting wit and overall superb showmanship they have performing magic tricks. Use their talents to destroy the guy before bringing in the legal guns.
What I did say was that running straight to lawyers is perhaps not the best way to be seen as a likeable and 'hey I want to pay for tickets to see that person' type of individual. It's called the Streisand Effect and they may very well learn about it the hard way.
I perhaps hadn't fully fleshed out my idea above (and have below in a different response). The point that I meant to make not 'never go to lawyers', but don't make that your first step in the process if you want people to not think of you as an asshole who sues people at the drop of a hat.
As I did say, use those talents unique to Penn & Teller, amazing wit, comedic talent and biting sarcasm to shame this guy and let everyone know HE is the douchebag. (As the old saying goes in newspapers, don't likely pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel). After that, if the guy is still going to try and sell the material and it is ruled infringing, fire away with lawyers hard if you feel like it.
Personally, being human about it will win you more fans than being a lawsuit happy 'me me me' copyright maximalist'. Their career rests on people liking them, when you're in the business of fame it's best to weigh the downsides of Streisand Effect before you get chippy.
He went straight to lawyers when he couldn't reach an agreement directly with the other party. That is 1 step short of going straight to the lawyers and I can quite willingly bet that lawyers were mentioned frequently in those discussions.
That is *not* what I said. I said, use their bully pulpit of Fame to destroy the man with Penn & Teller's amazing comedic and sarcasm talents. Get the public to understand the issue so that when you do 'lawyer up' people don't attribute it to you negatively.
Penn & Teller's 'business' is not magic. They are amazing magicians but so are many completely unknown magicians of equal and even better talent. Penn & Teller are wildly successfully because they put on a great overall show that includes magic and have a solid reputation for portraying themselves as likeable, approachable, self-deprecating and being human. If they lose or even just lessen that, trust me the 'value' they have a a business goes south pretty quickly. Fame is a fickle, fickle thing and sometimes winning the battle will cause you to lose the war.
'Lawyering up' rarely causes people to think 'better' of you and quite frequently causes the reverse. It's legal but it doesn't mean I have to like you for it.
Agreed, the commercial nature makes it a legitimate (as opposed to a legal suit, which both non-commercial and commercial would be as well).
However, Penn & Teller are some of the most popular magicians out there. And the beating their reputation could take over being seen as legal assholes vastly outweighs the small damages the guy might be causing them. And THAT is what they should be thinking of.
They have the bully pulpit of fame to destroy this guy with their unique brand of biting social commentary, get the word out that they're human about it and ask him to stop in a very public way. When he doesn't, you then have you reputation intact and destroy him legally, but by going straight to lawyers...they may be 'right' but long term it might not be the best thing for their careers...
Why else does the Masked Magician revealer wear a mask?
Um, marketing maybe? 'ooh this is so secret I have to wear a mask' is going to get a LOT more viewers than just some 2 bit magician laying out how tricks work.
Using something for 'commercial' gain can and should be prosecuted as Teller is doing.
However, the feel good, good guy reputations Penn & Teller enjoy, just might take a trip to the deserts of Nevada to the hole you mention.
Teller can be 'right', or he can be a human being and appeal at that level publicly to show he's human and then use his bully pulpit of fame to shame the guy if no deal is reached. But going to lawyers only shows you're going to be a douche about it.
The 'value' of his reputation (with Penn) VASTLY outweighs any amount of damages he could possibly claim by filing this lawsuit.
Are they actually? I know there were some bills that wanted something like 18 months of your activity stored (PIPA/SOPA maybe?) but pretty sure those died.
Where is the *legal* requirement that an ISP maintain logs?
It is new as far as modern cars go. No other 'hybrid' is serial in nature. They all have some propulsion done via the gas engine. (Technically so does the Volt at speeds over 55mph I believe).
The point being that the generator can be swapped out with whatever you want for your 'extended range module'. Or will be in future versions. It is a huge step forward and Ford was the first to do it.
911: Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yes
911: OK we don't need you to do that
Zimmerman: OK
He was told to stop following Martin. If he had followed those instructions NONE of this would have happened. Period.
Residue in a backpack does not indicate violence in any way. Resisting arrest and having a restraining order taken out against you DOES indicate violence.
If you don't like being stalked, guess what recourse you have? None.
You seem to not want to apply 'Stand your ground' to anyone except Zimmerman. The statute is "If you feel threatened". It's dark, someone is following you and gets out of their vehicle to chase you. You wouldn't feel threatened? Treyvon is full allowed to 'Stand his ground' against this person.
And had Zimmerman followed the 9/11 operator's instructions, this never would have happened. He was told to stand down.
Frankly 'stand your ground' applies to Treyvon. He was followed and tailed, stalked if you will. He was confronted. Since according to Zimmerman's people this was a high crime area, there is reasonable grounds to be wary and 'stand his ground'. Given Zimmerman's arrest history it's clearly evident he has violent tendencies - so there's no way you can prove he didn't strike first.
If Zimmerman created the situation, there is simply no way he can use self-defense as an argument.

uh, you won't be flying anywhere then. There's no law that says you need ID to fly either, yet somehow without it, you are NOT getting on a plane.

Nope, I haven't seen pickups driving 500 miles on a tank either. Different tools for different jobs. You'd think a 'truck' owner would get that.

Oh and since you posted AC, name the company...I'm sure we'd love to know who doesn't bother to hire US techies :)

You do realize Ford was the one auto-maker who DIDN'T take the bailout money right?

So you're saying we don't actually need all the safeguards on nuclear plants then?
operators made mistakes
And here is *why* you simply can't make these things 'safe'. Human error. It will happen.
Indeed, FOX news is much more frequent with this type of blatant falsification of news. It's actual 'news' when someone BESIDES them does it...
