Yeah, and see where that got us. The constitution has 2842 of those words completely ignored. If you want people to follow directions, you have to be verbose.
Gee, you don't think it could simply be a case of newsies swinging techies for fun and profit, do you?
After all, techies are educated, so it would be impossible to spin them, wouldn't it?
Of course, CS Levis wrote that it's easier to spin an educated person, possibly iibecause he listens for the key phrases, makes a rash judgement, and then holds onto it with all the wicked ego he's got... until he hears another key phrase.
I was just in a restaurant, and noticed a sign lying on the toilet flushbox, "employees must wash hands before returning to work". I couldn't help but think, I hope they know that that sign belongs above the sink.e.
Umm... powerline networking, are you referring to a method developed by power monitors, Inc, communicating data as the voltage crosses through zero, then disconnecting as the voltage spikes high?
Fact is, though I love the slogan of "Dude, you've been Delled!", for the most part, Dell has handled its rise from small to large quite well.
They've really -- for the most part -- avoided becoming the characteristic fortune-500 company, that decides to profiteer on their customers and supliers, and sees quality fall through the floor [followed by stock price], and ends up in the compost heap of an infinite loop of mergers with other fortune 500 companies, losing money [but never vanishing] the whole way.
Could I say, "Ea is my copilot"? Ea, the clever prince, Ea, the one who said that to rescue the dead, an immortal would have to give up his immortality? Ea -- ummm, EaShua, 'salvation of Ea' --- who did exactly that, 2000 years ago?
We've already been hit with a massive asteroid, and it made the Chevrons of Madagascar; it caused the few survivors around the world to focus on building pyramids; and it is recorded in the stores of Noah.
Excerpt from the Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet XI:
Ea, the Clever Prince(?), was under oath with them
so he repeated their talk to the reed house:
'Reed house, reed house! Wall, wall! O man of Shuruppak, son of Ubartutu:
Tear down the house and build a boat!
Abandon wealth and seek living beings!
Spurn possessions and keep alive living beings!
Make all living beings go up into the boat.
The boat which you are to build,
its dimensions must measure equal to each other:
its length must correspond to its width.
Roof it over like the Apsu. I understood and spoke to my lord, Ea:
'My lord, thus is the command which you have uttered
I will heed and will do it.
But what shall I answer the city, the populace, and the
Elders!' Ea spoke, commanding me, his servant:
'You, well then, this is what you must say to them:
"It appears that Enlil is rejecting me
so I cannot reside in your city (?),
nor set foot on Enlil's earth.
I will go down to the Apsu to live with my lord, Ea,
and upon you he will rain down abundance,
a profusion of fowl, myriad(!) fishes.
He will bring to you a harvest of wealth,
in the morning he will let loaves of bread shower down,
and in the evening a rain of wheat!"' Just as dawn began to glow the land assembled around me- the carpenter carried his hatchet, the reed worker carried his (flattening) stone,... the men... The child carried the pitch, the weak brought whatever else was needed. On the fifth day I laid out her exterior. It was a field in area, its walls were each 10 times 12 cubits in height, the sides of its top were of equal length, 10 times It cubits each. I laid out its (interior) structure and drew a picture of it (?). I provided it with six decks, thus dividing it into seven (levels). The inside of it I divided into nine (compartments). I drove plugs (to keep out) water in its middle part. I saw to the punting poles and laid in what was necessary. Three times 3,600 (units) of raw bitumen I poured into the bitumen kiln, three times 3,600 (units of) pitch...into it, there were three times 3,600 porters of casks who carried (vegetable) oil, apart from the 3,600 (units of) oil which they consumed (!) and two times 3,600 (units of) oil which the boatman stored away. I butchered oxen for the meat(!), and day upon day I slaughtered sheep. I gave the workmen(?) ale, beer, oil, and wine, as if it were river water, so they could make a party like the New Year's Festival.... and I set my hand to the oiling(!). The boat was finished by sunset. The launching was very difficult. They had to keep carrying a runway of poles front to back, until two-thirds of it had gone into the water(?). Whatever I had I loaded on it: whatever silver I had I loaded on it, whatever gold I had
It's controversial, because the evidence is extremely questionable. If primates evolved to recognize snakes, then how do you explain the entire politics esction of slashdot??? You darwinists are just nuts. Eve couldn't recognize a snake before, and she has enough trouble recognizing one now. Oh, and Adam still tags along for the ride.
I still think that "the pilot would have walked away" is the wrong thing to say. It is the kind of thing that NASA management used to say about the regular, everyday *failures* that eventually caused the destruction of the Challenger, and later the Columbia.
Don't say the pilot would have walked away. Say, "Good thing we didn't have a pilot on board this time, he *could* have been killed" which is also true, because once you have a failure and an unplanned event, lots of other things can go haywire as well.
Say, "What failed, why did it fail, and how does this affect other aircraft with the same landing system?" PM the entire event, reinspect *everything* -- you don't know what else may have been damaged -- and especially reinspect *and also replace* the other landing gear that didn't fail.
Just a comment, we are already at peak everything. That doesn't mean that oil is unavailable, it means that our higher quality, easier sources are tapped. As we go to lower quality sources, our prices MUST rise, and the purchasing power of the dollar must fall. Change your policy to hold inflation steady, and you'll get a crash in wages, followed by a crash in husing defaults... but that's a different story.
Anyhow, as materials get harder to find, the ore value of recycling increases. NOT a surefire way to buckets of money? I agree. But every bit of trash you canesort isa refinement on the raw materials. For any one product, it is hugely expensive. But just like networking theory, the value of sorting goes up by the fourth power IIRC of the number of items you can recycle.
So there is a definite goldmine there.It's just a question of how long some companies take to get there.
I did all that while copyediting for a publisher, order of magnitude 2000 pp/year, start to finish plus artwork, page layout, proofing problems, sometimes ghostwriting, for a total of about $50k. A typical journal article is 12 pages, so you're looking at the equivalent of 166 articles for $300 each. Maybe I was way underpaid?
IIRC, by her own statement, Rosa didn't set out to defy authority. She had had an extremely bad day at work, she was tired, and her bad day just ended up being the straw that broke the camel's back.
You are correct that the whole thing had been building, and finally overflowed.
Actually, no: for general research, there was Readers' guide to periodical literature, and for specific topics (such as particle physics) there were similar catalog-format databases. You buy the database, you get the periodicals, and you use interlibrary loan.
I think that this is key. The Lavabit founder DID get up and walk away -- and now is under charges. I expect the ruling SHOULD be in his favor, therefore, because the government is acting against an individual citizen, not a company. But that doesn't mean that he will be free to reopen his company. It may mean that the congress may eventually find the government liable for his losses, and award some small sum in compensation. I doubt the courts ever will.
Everybody RUN!!!! Three-D Printers are going to be the future of disaster relief!!!! In a wierd ironic way, our leaders are so messed up, that I think that this headline -- which ends in a questionmark, and thus should be a instant "No", is instead an instant "yes".
I'd love to see the CRT results for
(1a) active Christian religious, liberal
(1b) active Christian religious, conservative
(2a) areligious, liberal
(2b) areligious, conservative
(3a) active nonChristian religious, liberal
(3b) active nonChristian religious, conservative
If one wanted to break out other religions: Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoist, animist, wiccan, I'd be happy to see the results, but wouldn't care much unless I saw something really abnormal. But I'm Christian, and I wonder how conservative and liberal Christians fare against the areligious. I could see it going either way...... especially if you define active as "your religion has caused you to change your position on an issue at least weekly".
Defaulting the government may actually have been a good thi\g: it could have stopped the juggernaut. I for one had about 4500 dollars tied up still in a tax refund, about equal to my liquid assets (and the variance for our family of six, from paycheck to check is $2000) . I was happy to see the National government stay closed, even with that significant loss.
Regardless whether you think default would be good, the ability to default was absolutely necessary to prevent our national government from breaking completely away from its democratic moorings. When all the functions of government, from setting up departments to writing law, to enforcement and trials are performed by unelected --APPOINTED!!-- civil servants who are paid vastly more than those they "serve", the power to halt the spending is the last control.
Constitutionally,this bill, which now makes the issuing of debt automated, is illegal. But we haven't paid any attention to that old, dead document for fifty years.
This bill was a disaster. Watch what happens next. I don't know what, but the next twenty years should make it obvious.
Who needs India? For many of those who disagree with the vaccination theory, they WANT to get the disease in controlled circumstances. Thus, mumps parties, chicken pox parties, etc.
This is important to them, because they are concerned about the vaccination wearing off right when the disease can do the most damage.
Rather important to me, was th lawyers' statement that there is no longer any debate, not that there is no longer any disagreement. In other words, science has lost, politics has won.
I believe that what he was saying was that "adult conversation" refers to fudging, lying, euphemisms, and... in the end... they're going to do whatever they want to do.
AFAICT, it means that for Baby boomers, adult development halted at age 14 for girls, 17 for guys.
So you're saying that if a fraudster could form his own department somewhere along the trunk, then he'd be home free?
Kindof like the movie conspiracy theory, where they set up a whole fake government office?
Email: "You need to contact us because you appear to have excess cash in your account. Please call the main line, and ask to be connected to the department of customer relinquishments."
Iirc, some have already died from waterboarding. The administration's assertion that torture is not torture is, however, a valid defense for the time being, viz., until we lose a war on our own soil.Then it becomes proof of capital crimes by the leaders of a rogue government.

Hopefully, that won't change.

Information was much freer back then.
If that's the case, then corporations' special advantages represnt an unconstitutional seizure and undue burden against all citizens.

Aah. No controlling authority? I would also say that is why whistleblowing is pointless now.
Which will lead to our soldiers fighting a defensive battle against invaders in Pennsylvania, and discovering that their ammo is dyed flour and salt.
Or a bridge suddenly failing.
