For the US students being passed over yes it has been happening and increasing the last 2-3 years.
It is really bad in California where you have been getting some news about it, even heard about it where I live in Europe.
The reason is that that foreign students pay the full tuition costs and since states have been cutting funding the foreign students are cash cows.
You could make the case that with the money they are paying they are not taking slots that US students would of had because the slots would not exist but really what is happening is the school has a certain number of slots and if they get them filled by people who are paying full costs then those people are going to get in.
The article is wrong because FB is not about new features or the architecture. FB power is that I can connect with easily with people of similar interests.
With FB it is easy to setup local group, and invite people, or for them to find it, of similar interested and then all those people plan, talk about or support the topic.
Until something new can get everyone to switch over to that system there is no value in me, a single person, switching to that new site. Even in the event that facebook does something totally stupid to upset the users it will not loose that many because the abaility it provides for communication is worth some hassles.
The patent is for a system where you can setup condition on the gifts you are given and before they are shipped allows you to change them, even sending you notification on what the original item was.
For example, person X gives you a some new book, you have previously setup a condition that all gifts get converted to gift cards. You receive notification that they sent you the book and you can then use the gift card to purchase anything you want.
I guess it saves some time and money of shipping the product back but who is really going to use it?
You need to look at what self publishing book writers actually make, the majority make only a few hundred dollars per book if they are lucky and the book is well written. A few thousand dollars is what a book writer use to get if they got published and did not have a major best seller.
For the self published book writer they have to decide if they are going to get an editor, a cover designer and a layout artist which all cost money. Do that all your self and you are taking time away from what you do, write books, and have to spend time doing and learning those other skills.
Now for actual numbers, based on Kindle info, last year there there were around 1000 self publishers that sold over 800 books a month; and they are not the majority. Some of those can actually make a living. The majority of self publishers will be lucky if they make a few thousand a year.
Your economic idea will not work out and will be even worse for small market items, such as technical books, which is already a very small market where the majority of writer are lucky if they make a few thousand dollars and that is since they are published.
With the publishers gone there are going to be few high technical books and we will have to hope for a come back of the sponsored writer.
No one was legally beaten, you may have a few occurances when some action occured but they were not authorized and people got in trouble and jail time, or hung for days.
FYI the amount of time they could be forced to sit or stand in uncomfortable positons was based on scientific studies directly authorized by President clinton on USA citizens.
"There are countless Occupy people that have been arrested and detained without bail or trial for weeks. "
Please give some examples of theses countless people detained for weeks. Tried looking them up and it is just leads to lie sites lead by occupy with no backing up of the truth. When asked to prove it they cannot, instead you get they keep it just keeps getting repeated like it is the truth.
That Dutch law would probably have a really good chance of being passed in the USA.
The problem with the bills that have been submitted in the USA use a different definition of net neutrality than you see in the Dutch and other laws.
The Dutch law limits blocking protocols unless they are don't to all, in the USA the bills have been more about not being able to block sites or to provide sites. So under the USA bills ISPs would not beable to block a site to MANBLA or even SPAM that followed the rules on the CANSPAM law. Under the Dutch law ISPs cannot block or charge extra for voice calling that they are not providing.
BTW the reason for the MANBLA reference is because that organization is one of the bigger supportors of the net neutrallities laws in the USA they have members that have provided the wording for the various bills and have setup web sites and ads advocating net neutrallity under new organizations.
Duh, how do you think people would be employeed or government would get taxes if corporates did not have profits?
The rest of your information is as worthless and uninformed as your understanding of economics.
If you can block the satellite signals and want do cause problems why not start broadcasting fake information.
Change the fake info on a rotating basis and even more fun.
So do you have any proof he did anything to the machines or did he work as the recruiter to get people to get out and vote?
More likely you are just stupid and hate free speech and use this to make a case of why it should be stopped.
As a USA citizen you are required to pay federal taxes no matter where you earned them, IIRC the only country that does this.
You do get an deduction, currently around $93,000, if you spend more than 330(IIRC) days out of 365 outside of the USA and territories. So based on others comments about distances chances are this ship would not qualify as being outside of the USA. Besides you are doing this so you can easily get into the USA to meet with customers.
If you read the indept studies about volcano output you know that all of them are deliberate lies.
Some studies don't count volcano that don't produce a certain amount of output, other don't count certain types of volcanos, others don't count output from volcanos that are under water, others only guestimate on new volcanos erruptions, etc as of last year there was no single report that had the output from all volcanos.
I would not blame it on marketing or lobbying. I would blame it on the government and the security offices for Microsofts rise in power.
As someone who was on the other side of the fence we use to push for Unix systems because they were far more capable and with the same amount of training you could do a lot more from the admin level; and it has not been until the last 6-7 years that Microsoft finally surpassed in that area.
However security offices got involved and started locking down Unix servers so to open a simple port was a multi-month process if you were lucky. With the Microsoft box there was very limit security lockdown so we started to get a lot more of those; also the prices for the Microsoft boxes were a lot cheaper so it was quicker to get purchased.
Your numbers on Argentina beef are really old, based on last years numbers only around 20% of Argentina beef was 100% grass fed and alot of that was not exported.
Most of the Argentina beef is grass feed and grain finished, like you get the USA, or they are doing more is just locking the calfs into large pens using steroids, antibiotics, cheap high calorie food and almost no physical movement to produce a tendor steer, quick to market.
While organisms are killed off there have been times where metors impacts have led to the illness and death of people and animals in the area. There was a recent example in south america a few years ago.
The job title of administrator, project manager or anything like that.
You might still do some programming it will just not be your 5|6|7 day a week, 8+ hours a day duties.
No it cannot.
First manning is not being charged under this law.
Second the charges he is being accused of include moving classified material to unclassified servers, giving materal to people not authorized and others like that. He was not authorized to downgrade material nor was he authorized to authorize people to beable to view the information.
The earth being flat was a scientific claim. The position of the early christian church and then the catholic church was the earth was round. You only need to look at old painting and sculptures to see that; that ball being held in various pictures of Christ are there showing his sovereignty.
Where the earth is flat came out from the various scientists of the day. Doing a little research you can even find letters to high level catholic church leaders from higher ups when those people started to take the approach that the earth was flat.
The reason the average person does not believe them is simple the people pushing that mankind is the sole cause of global warming don't act like it is true.
We hear all this stuff about not flying and they have these huge parties/conventions all over the world in really nice fancy places, alot of the people coming via private planes.
You can see all the huge houses owned by the people pushing it.
Heck even countries are not acting like it is true, look at all the countries dropping low emission power generation in place of coal based plants.
I would guess they have a information box informing the user there is a patch available that the user has to initiate and requires that the car be parked with the engine off.
No wonder they say Americans are ignorant of history, it is been just a few year and people don't know it was not Cheney or Scooter Liby that released the names but Richard Armitage.
