I mentioned the wage gap to some bosses 1 job ago and they (fresh from a trip to the india office) quoted the cost ratio at about 1.8:1, hence my estimate on wages.
Teacher sees dope deal go down, pulls both students in. Weed/speed/whatever is "missing" and no sign it was dropped...
now you get in the territory of _maybe_ getting to a more intimate search.
At which point the cops are called. School adminstrators never have the right to strip search kids. Jesus christ...
Banks have reserves that are at historical records, and with fractional reserve banking they could loan out historical amounts.
When you're operating at the limit of your reserve requirement and your assets drop 30%, what do you think happens? That's right, you have no money to lend and you have to drop debt a lot before you can start again. Remember, for the past 10 years or so, being prudent was viewed as leaving money on the table.
But if it was a sure fire moneymaker they could have raised the money on the private markets. Even in a recession and credit crisis there is venture capital looking for places to park.
No, there was a liquidity crisis, so there weren't any banks making loans, and VC has been skittish for a while. I don't know what your problem is, but the TARP thing was needed.
In case you aren't familiar, in the video card industry you buy a $500 video card knowing, with absolute certainty, that a much cheaper and faster card will be available at the same price or lower in 6 months. Yet people still buy video cards.
Nvidia doesn't announce new graphics cards before they're available, tanking demand for the current product, then discounts the old generation (which is cheap to make at that point) to reduce inventory. It helps that the graphics card market is nicely segmented between gamers, gadget freaks, and don't cares.
Seattle runs out of salt (and only salts lightly) because, get this, they don't want to pollute the sound with salt water runoff. That and they left 2-3" of packed snow downtown for a week deliberately
You're joking, right? Limiting prop tax growth strangles the schools over time, and means that you pay up to 9 times as much as your neighbor because he's been there 30 years. Now they're proposing allowing inherited property to continue the tax freeze.
Prop 13 passed with 65% of the vote (70% voting), so it was hardly a simple majority that passed it.
Second that you felt the need to butcher Reagan's name.
In all fairness, I butcher Reagan's name whenever I can, mostly to counter the roving band of tards trying to name every building in DC after him. He was a mediocre president, not a saint.
So if you make a billion dollar idea and patent it, I can just kill you and the patent dissolves into the ether? No potential for abuse there. Anyway, are you sure you don't mean copyrights?

RAID 1 + swapping out/rebuilding a mirror disk periodically is a perfectly reasonable backup solution.
Sure, if you're retarded. I was going to say it was ok for home, but no, that's just stupid. Even a batch job that tars a bunch of directories onto a second HD works better (and no additional hardware either).
Slashdot Mirror
Nah, the fed already considers intrastate commerce as affecting interstate commerce, so that won't fly.

Flamebait? I merely speak the truth - paid $169k for an ok townhouse in 2000 that is probably $300k-350k now.
Hackers are those that take an axe and hack down a tree creating a mess in the process including casualties that offend the beauty of solutions.
No, hackers are the ones who made the axe in the first place. Then they built a tree saw.
Hackers are not really programmers as they are to enamored with their hacking skills.
I'm sure Eric Raymond would disagree with you. Hackers were the first real programmers and they built a lot of what you take for granted.
I made $60K living outside the DC in NoVA suburbs and I got along just fine.
So did I. In 2000, when you could get a house for under 200k. Good luck with that now.
Last I heard, 30-40k was the average wage for a good developer in india. Perhaps your figure is for call center ops?
The people running the security at airports are all contractors, outside corporations, and therefore not Government.
They're performing a government function, so th rules still apply.
it's a notion - we don't always succeed.
Without any kind of business expenses, I would be taxed 89% on every dollar I made. eighty. nine. fucking. percent.
Bullshit. If that were true, there would be no employers in NC.
Not being able to "put the genie back in the bottle" is a weak metaphor when one considers the damage that has been done.
How about "put the mushroom cloud back in the bomb casing?
we have a few judges that are either too lenient (let them go until they actually molest children)
I know it bothers you, but in this country we have the notion that you can't lock someone up unless they actually harm/try to harm someone else.
Excuse me, but when did school admins get police powers?

And Nichols' plan worked so well this year. I noticed the road to his house was clear the whole time.

Trivia: there are more Puerto Ricans living in florida than have ever lived in Puerto Rico throughout history.

Exactly how does that hurt young people?
