Average weekly hours of all employees in USA per bls.gov: 34.5 hours. It was 33.8 hours at the height of the recession so it is the inversion of the truth that employers have employees work overtime to avoid hiring more people. 34.5 hours is the pre-recession level so employers have likely maxed out on increasing hours to existing workers.
That's because the original paper asks you to pay $32 to view it unless you are subscribed[or your IP is subscribed ie by your University]. A subscription is $199 a year.
In that case why would the cost-basis reset? If the argument was that she was always the owner of the stock than her cost-basis should still be the same as when Steve Jobs was alive. If the cost-basis reset, this implies that she did 'inherit' the shares; she was just shielded from having to pay tax from the spousal exemption.
America already has more than 2 parties. From wikipedia:
Other caucuses are organized political factions with a common ideological orientation:
On the Democratic side, there is the Blue Dog Coalition (conservative Democrats), New Democrat Coalition (moderate Democrats), Congressional Progressive Caucus (liberal and progressive Democrats), and Democratic Freedom Caucus (libertarian Democrats).
On the Republican side, there is the Republican Study Committee (conservative politics Republicans) and the Liberty Caucus, which is sometimes called the Republican Liberty Caucus (libertarian Republicans). The Tea Party Caucus also has 60 Republican members in the House of Representatives and four in the Senate.
'organized political faction with a common ideological orientation' - In any other country that would be called a party. There are legislative bodies in the USA where the leader of the body is of the 'minority' party because enough members of the 'majority' party couldn't even be bothered to vote for a leader from their own party.
You can check the time on a wristwatch without being obvious about it. The same can't be said for a phone. How do you explain to the person you are talking to that checking the time is seemingly more important than what they are saying?
Amazon doesn't pay the sales tax, the consumer does. Amazon would just be responsible for collecting it. I won't argue whether what the state spends the revenue is justified[I tend to think it is], but I don't think anyone seriously argues that the state doesn't have an ability to raise revenue.
There is a configuration option to disable version checking for add-ons. Set extensions.checkCompatibility.<version> to false in about:config. The add-ons generally work. It might also work as just extensions.checkCompatibility set to false for all versions, but I'm not sure.
Suppose for the sake of argument that there is a murder, and no one is ever charged with the crime for lack of evidence[though there is no doubt that there was in fact a murder]. Does this mean that everyone is innocent of murder? This seems impossible. Someone logically must be guilty. And yet that[that no one is guilty] seems to be precisely what you are arguing.
Um, no. In the US courts of law never prove innocence. This should be trivially obvious to anyone since no one involved in the trial is even attempting to prove innocence. The prosecution is attempting to prove guilt; the defense is attempting to show that the prosecution's argument is flawed. If someone came up with a proof that P = NP. And you found a flaw in that proof. Would you then claim that you've proved that P != NP because you found a flaw in the proof?
I've been using Firefox with the URL bar hidden for a while now. If you want to type in a URL you hit Ctrl-L. It opens a dialog that is automatically focused. A side effect of this is that the result always opens in a new tab[theoretically you have a choice but I never bother with that drop down].
A season should only be ~13 episodes. Virtually every quality television show not on the major broadcast networks follows this rule of thumb. So a season of SGU only gets you 3 months or $9 million by your estimation[this is ignoring the fact that some of the audience was only watching it because it was on and won't actually pay extra for it]. If Syfy is still attempting 22 episodes a season perhaps that is part of the problem, it ensures that 10 of the episodes are crap filler bringing down the average quality of the product and people's perceptions of it.
As for BBC America, I can't believe everyone is lauding it. It does no original programming. Are you counting reruns of X-files/ST:TNG as part of BBCA sci-fi programming? I hope not cause I view that as part and parcel with jumping the shark. Or just Dr Who/Primeval/Being Human? Remember when I said 13 episodes is ideal? Being Human has had 3 seasons for a total of 20 episodes. Primeval after the upcoming season will have had 36 episodes over 5 seasons. Doctor Who hits the 13 episode sweetspot, but inexplicably failed to produce a season for 2009.
Huh? I know this is slashdot and no one reads the story, but if you are going to strut around trying to make yourself look smart you should try. This guy obviously knew that renting it was a very bad deal which is why he bought out the rest on the rental after only two months when he had the money. He didn't wait two months to buy it since it was a time sensitive need as his wife needed it for course work.
But our number system is already base 10! Isn't it redundant to overlay a base 10 number system with another base 10 system? If you really wanted to you could measure everything in yards. No one is forcing you to convert to feet or inches; just use 10^(-1) yards or 10^(-2) yards. Indeed one could argue that this is better since the conversion is more seamless. There is no artificial decision as to whether something is 20mm or 2 cm or 0.02m.
I also question the assertion that the British don't use imperial units. All the cars on Top Gear seem to drive around in mph. They even occasionally make a joke of it when they are in a situation where they are forced to use metric and are generally derisive of it.
It's more than the second half of Feast of Crows. The first 1/2-2/3[of a 1000 page book] will be concurrent to Feast of Crows, but the rest of the book will be after Feast of Crows[ie stuff always planned to be in book 5]
If the HBO series is successful he will be forced to finish the series. He can't very well let the series get ahead of the books. Assuming 1 season = 1 book, I'd say that gives him ~6 years to finish the last two books.
He was going to announce Dance with Dragons over Christmas, but he was in the hospital for a week or two. Since he seems to have a lot else on his plate[ie tv series premieres in a month] this delayed him more than 2 weeks as he needed to find a new free time in his schedule instead of just pushing everything back. But no reason not to believe that this publishing date is real.
Jennings realized that Watson had won since combined with the first day Watson had an insurmountable lead. Jennings betting strategy even before seeing the question was to play for second. For what its worth I didn't know the final jeopardy question...
You mean Crick?[likely spelled wrong but seems counter to the point to look it up] I never remembering ever learning about DNA other than it being discovered by Watson and Crick. If you are on the other hand referring to someone working around the same time as Watson and Crick but independently than you are right.
I understand it's a rental property and the owner is not to be compensated, because it was declared a "public nuisance". DOH! Should've kept up with those annual inspections!
We clearly don't have all of the information on that decision. Nevertheless, in reading the article, not compensating the owners struck me as just being mean.
No, billing the owners for the cost of burning it down would be mean...
Do you vote in the primaries as well? So because your chosen candidate didn't win the primary you are going to take your ball and go home? Or maybe your candidate chose to forego the primary. Why might he choose to do this? There are no ideological/issue restrictions on candidates running for a party's nomination; anyone can run and if elected you can do pretty much anything and not get thrown out of the party between elections. We don't have a system of rigid parties like the UK. So maybe your candidate didn't think he could win a primary. So in other words the candidate is trying to get 50% of the people to vote for him despite not thinking he could get 25% of the people to vote for him/her. In short it is a vanity campaign.
I'm not convinced I even see the real world in 3D so why should I watch a movie in 3D? Sure I have depth perception, but I also have mild nearsightedness and generally only have 1 contact in at a time[switching eyes every couple of weeks]. I can't tell which contact is in without covering 1 eye. If I hold my hand in front of my face without focusing on it I will see the hand as a transparent double image. I'd be hard pressed to tell you what difference closing 1 eye makes in what I see[as long as I'm closing the uncorrected eye]. Every once and a while I will wear both contacts at once and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I can't imagine though that trying to watch a 3D movie with only 1 contact wouldn't give me a raging headache and seem to blur the whole thing. Though I'd admit that I haven't actually been to a 3D movie.
This is Nevada. There is an explicit none of the above option in every race. On some political sites there is running speculation that none of the above might draw 10-15% of the vote due to the unpopularity of both candidates. Unfortunately 'none of the above' can't actually win, if it receives the most votes the office goes to second place.

FCAT are the right sample tests. Slightly harder, but I'd still expect any halfway intelligent person to get 90+% of them correct.
But these are generally (renewable) overnight loans so wouldn't you have to multiply by 365 to get the yearly rate we normally think of?
Because Chrome is advertised extensively on TV and firefox is not?
