But, you can get a subaru legacy (not the outback) for a hell of a lot less than the volvo wagons, and it has damn near the same amount of space, as well as an extrodinary safty record. It also gets better milage (a little better) than the outback, and costs a lot less than one (a 2 year old legacy shouldn't be over 20K loaded).
<nitpick>
The engines on subarus are either H6, H4, or H4 turbo there is no V6 available, and they have not to my knowledge ever had one.
</nitpick>
I drive a subaru H4 outback, it gets about 30mpg on the highway with slightly overinflated tires, and has plenty of pickup with a 5 speed transmision, you don't need the H6... (I only bought the outback because I couldn't find a used legacy in decent shape...).
There is also always the disgustingly practical minivan...:(
Sometimes things like the education comment can be difficult to parse in text (as opposed to spoken word).
I understand your comment now...
The situations I was speeking of wrt the 2 PhDs were specifically involving people where one of them had to work a job in industry doing work that was not a topic of great interest to them. One specific example is a friend of mine who has his PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics having to make grids all day instead of actually being able to do fluid mechanics, while his wife (an industrial engineering professor) works for a university 40 miles away from where he works.
I love my job too, now that I left the big corporate situation for an academia position. I just know that once I have kids, my priorities will change.
BTW do you and your wife plan on having children? If I didn't I would not have any intention of not working full time...
I feel far more symathy for you than I do for most "struggling" 2 income professional coulples. But, you chose to be a 2 career family... I am sure one of you could have a job in a smaller, less expensive college town, and be able to afford everything you need on one income, and your kids wouldn't be in daycare. The reason I am not getting my PhD now is that I don't want to be in your situation. I have known too many couples with multiple PhDs where either one or both hates the job they have, just so they can both have jobs, or have a house that the live in on the weekends, and one of them lives in an apartment in another city 5 hours away during the week. I just decided that it is not worth it.
You said one thing that really made me question your devotion to acedemics: Maybe that education was wasted on you? There is no such thing as wasted education! Even if I had never worked a day as an engineer, I feel greatly enriched by the knowledge I obtained in my undergrad. And if I do go on to teach physics (we all know even the best plans can change), I will only need to go to school for a year to get the missing courses, and in many states I would be able to start teaching right away and go to night school for the education degree becasue of the science teacher shortage.
And the sibling of this post is correct, I met my fiance during my senior year of college.
I feel sick when I see people complaining about how they need two incomes while they are pumping gas for their luxury SUV that they use to drive 30 miles to work because they live on a 5 acre plot in the suburbs. Those aren't things you need, those are things you want!
My fiance and I have already discussed this and decided that I (I am the male in the relationship) will stay with the kids full time until the youngest is in school and then I will retrain as a high school physics teacher (I am currently a research engineer) so I can get summers off. To accomplish this we plan to buy a house that we can afford on her salary alone. My salary for the time before we have kids will go towards the education of our future children, and our retirement. We also plan on buying that house in a location that makes it easy for one of us to walk to work (she is currently getting her PhD in astro-physics and plans on being a proffesor, universities tend to be easier to live near...).
Anyway the important point is that you need to figure out what you need and what you want, and decide if what you want is worth the time with your kids.
People who are that involved with their health do so because they enjoy it. You don't run 10 miles a day or abstain from meat if it's a daily torture to do so. For you it might be torturous, but for them it isn't a big problem.
Indeed... I am a marathoner/triathlete/weight lifter, and I would do everyone of these things even if I expected they would make my life slightly shoter. There is acutally some evidence that the diet I maintain to be able to work out this much (5000 Calories a day) is detramental to me life expectancy regardless of my wieght/cholestoral/blood pressure.
I work out like a fiend because it makes me feel great! Not because I think it will help me see 2070.
He is descibing the 7E7. Boeing's current commercial aircraft development project.
For what it is worth, as a former employee one of Boeing's engine suppliers I think that the american aerospace industry (well at least the aero part, maybe not the space part, but we will have to see how bush's mars thing pans out, I am sceptical) (how's that for an excesive parenthetical?) is in for very rough times soon...
The government has decided they will no longer obey their own laws and has ordered all further (freedom of information act based) requests for these, and future, photos to be denied.
I am a 26 year old engaged engineer, so I am not that dissimilar from the sumbitter.
I recently left a job in the aerospace industry for a research engineer position at a major university. I have never been happier. I took a little pay cut, but the cost of living in most college towns is a lot lower than it is in most cities, and I get more benifits (for example I get very cheap access to the athletic facilities instead of having to pay $30/mo for a mediocer health club...).
The work environment is lower pressure, and is more open, more self guided... I work fewer hours on the average day, because I don't feel the pressure to be there like I used to, but I work from home a lot now on the weekends and in the evenings, because I enjoy my job. I enjoyed the work at my old job, but I resented the environment of forced productivity so much that I did not enjoy working on my own time...
I have always been an exersize nut, spending hours at the gym and running each week, since the switch, without really changing my workout routine I have gotten stronger and faster, and I set my new personal record in the half marathon a few weeks ago.
You could look at life expectancies, or some arbitrary happiness metric, or accomplishments.
Life expectancies are best in socialist countrys in general, and happiness, well I don't know how to measure that... And accomplishments, The space race comes to mind, and the russians kicked our ass, we hold the moon up as a great accomplishment, but we were second in space, second in orbit, second in manned space, second in manned orbit. The moon was the only thing we were first in.
I am not saying that I don't think capitalism is a better system. I am just saying that if you think GDP is THE metric for sucess, you have been brainwashed by the capitalists...
Yes, but now you can get stations from all around the world where ever you are...
I live in upstate new york, I am in a college town, so there is some decent radio, but when I want news from around the world, I want radio from around the world...
I could read a lot of it on the internet, but that is hard to do while washing dished/making dinner/working on my bicycle...
As much as I think the tech I am about to push has been overhyped, I am going to push it anyway...
Electric cars will not be lugging much battery, they will have a fuel cell (and maybe a relatively small battery for regenerative braking).
Now, this easy, cleaner source of ethanol would be an excelent way to get the necissary hydrogen...
Even thought ethanol is cleaner than petrol, it is still dirtier when burned in an engine that may not have as many polution controls, or be as well tuned as a central hydrogen processing plant would be...
1. We have lost more than that, last I heard, we just broke 700 coalition troops...
2 (the main point). Kill ratios don't mean shit. It is all about who can suffer the kills most effectivly. We had a kill ratio well over 10 to 1 in Vietnam, but the enemy did not mind losing half a million nearly as much as we minded losing 50,000, that is why we lost. They simply wanted victory more than we did. I think the same thing will happen in Iraq (I hope I am wrong). Also, we have already lost more troops in Iraq than we lost in the first 5 years we had troops on the ground in Vietnam... we had smaller numbers there until about '68 then the troops built up, and along with them, the casualties.
3. (About Islam) If all Islam teaches is to be a power hungry, mentally challgened idiot than i am glad I am not Muslim. I thought bush was a "Christian" (sorry couldn't resist) Seriously, there are members of just about every group who are power hungary ass holes, it has little to do with the particular group and a lot more to do the the human condition. It you think that is what Islam is about, spend some time around engineering graduate students, you will meet a lot of foriegn muslims, and you will see that they are clearly not power hungary, or mentally challenged...
I recently started doing development for linux and XP. Before that it was Sun (using CC) and linux.
CL (the vcc compiler) will let you get away with things that you shouldn't even be able to do (use of variables outside of there scope...), but you don't see it, because BCC didn't let you do it.
CC was the most liberal of them all, it would complile and run your email.
All of this said, strick is a good thing! I means that your code will work elsewhere (wide variety of elsewheres) with little work. Are you using -wall and -pedantic with gcc?
In a flagrant case like this, I am really glad they nailed the ass hole, but there was plenty of evidence without the box. A lack of skid marks indicate no braking, conservation of momentum give the approximate speed at the time of the colision, as does the magnitude of the damage.
The fact is, in cases like this, you don't need a black box to know that this guy was doing more than double the speed limit...
I didn't think you were worth the responce, but I am in a mood right now...
I am a aerospace engineer, not an IT professional. Also, I work out about 10 hours a week. I bench press about 200 lbs, I have run multiple marathons, My BP and cholestorol are both good, and my resting pulse is in the upper 40 BPM range. So yes, I am rather healthy...
Please explain to me why the phone desk would not work. If you are thinking about locating the ringing phone from the bunch, a device with a colection of "phone holes" with a mic in each one, could easily locate the ringing phone. They haven't been developed yet, but they could be easily. As for the sensitive information question...the only question one needs to ask is" "is this an emergiency?" If you are aware of other issues, please inform me.
The disturbances due to an emergiency call would be very rare compaired to the disturbances caused by ringing phones because the vast majority of cell phone traffic is idle chit chat. And in the case of an emergiency the disturbance would be justified.
An alternative solution would be to allow override of the signal blocker when the call is originating from a certain call center, which would operate like 911 in reverse.
People got by just fine before the cell phone was invented, and the rights of people who use them to have the convinience of a cell phone doesn't override my right to not be annoyed by them in certain designated locations (theaters...)... In my opinion.
Most doctors are on call, yes, but not 24X7X52 If that was the case, they would not be able to go on vacations. The simple fact is if there is more than one specialist of a certain type within a 1 hour travel radius, then they can share the on call duty. Now if an individual doctor feels it is necisarry to be available 24/7, that is their choice, and my recreation should not be interupted because of it.
Just turned 26; pagers were very common when I was at the med school, cell phones were growing rapidly in popularity (most of the docs had them...).
It is rare for a doc to be on call 24/7, especially in fields where there is likly to be an emerciency (burn specialists and the like...), but it does happen.
Well, that is were my second paragraph comes in...
But, as a matter of fact my first "real job" the summer after I finished HS and after my 1st year of college I worked for a medical school. About half the faculty in the department I worked for were MDs. Also my father is a medical school professor (retired now), so a lot of the "friends of the family" I knew before I moved out were doctors. My fiance's aunt and uncle (who we are close to) are doctors, as is one of my cousins.
I was so surrounded by medicine and biology growing up people wonder how I became an engineer... The current topic of discussion is one of the reasons I chose numerical methods over microbiology.
I don't know who modded you troll, I don't aree with you, but that mod wasn't right...
Nobody should be on call 24 hours a day. They should be able to share on call duty with at least one other person, giving them 50% of their time to go anywhere they please.
In the rare case that one person truely needs to be on call 24/7, there should be a phone check at theatres where you leave your phone in the lobby where it works. There is someone there to answer it for you who can ask if it is an emergiency, and knows where you are sitting if it is...
It is called the IT band (short for iliotobial), and you were unusually unfortunate to have that severe of a problem from a 10K. Is your form attrotious?
I am 26, I did my first marathon at 23, and I started running when I was 14, but I took 18-21 off from running (and got pretty fat). you should be able to safely work up to 5 mile runs in 6 months, but don't run every day, 4 or 5 times a week will be more than enough for the first year. I would run no more than 25 miles a week for the first year or 2 though...
Imagine how much this could help with the training and racing of serious endurence athletes.
Imagine the US postal cycling team support car having stats in real time on all of the cyclist during the tour de france. They could tell who needs a rest and who has the energy to lead, and adjust their drafting stratagies accordingly.
If people are so convinced that this code must be insecure, find a bug... Break the thing and tell the company, if they don't fix it, tell the press.
I think this is an enormous step in the right direction, it allow a much greater degree of public oversite for e-voting. I am actaully satisfied with this, I would love a more open process, but I think this is good enough...
