Any recruiter pitching a $100K job in the banking industry is not worth talking to. In my first wall street gig back in 1990, I was making $100/hour writing options pricing apps on NeXTSTEP, with barely six months of hands-on experience on the platform, and no finance or accounting background at all.
Gold has increased in value because the Glenn Beckers and his (whatever they actually call themselves) ditto-heads have driven the price up with excess demand.
That's absolutely idiotic. Beck got on the gold-buying bandwagon very late, and he certainly had nothing to do with the massive buying that the Chinese and Indian banks have been doing.
It sounds absurd, but I have heard of property owners being told to remove all the branches below a certain height so that kids couldn't get into the tree in the first place.
No, it's the legislation in which the congress ended our duty of obedience to the crown. It doesn't say "we intend to be independent", it says that we are independent.
how do they enforce the provisions about how George III sent soldiers to eat out their substance?
That's not a provision of the law, that's a statement of one of the reasons for the provisions. The legal action in the declaration is the last paragraph:
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Actually, the Declaration of Independence is law. It's an act of Congress, and as Judge Napolitano has pointed out on several occasions, if you have a copy of the United States Code, it's there right in the front of the first volume. It is in fact the beginning of American legislation.
There are many aspects of the Constitution that need updating. I mean, this bears repeating however obnoxious, but some of the Founding Fathers were slave owners.
Thirteenth amendment.
Perhaps we want to clarify gun rights
What's to clarify? We have the right to defend ourselves, even though the government frequently violates that right.
They swear to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution, against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The fourth and fifth amendments are part of what they've sworn to uphold.
Their Touchpad is bulkier, heavier, and has slower hardware than the competition. And the OS is laggy.
That is surprising. Rubinstein certainly knows how to make good hardware (he did it for NeXT and Apple for many years). I don't know of any reason why HP wouldn't be able to match if not exceed what Apple's able to do in that area.
I don't think WebOS is going to end up succeeding, but I am going to give HP some credit for at least trying to do more than just ship whatever Microsoft hands them.
