Only problem is that when awarded the government will want to own the hardware and software, by license if a commercial program. So the biggest part of this contract will be the supplying of people. Those are not really something Google is known for or is setup for.
So if you say Clinton started it, I'll go along with that. You must admit, though, that the process accelerated and the attitude toward government employees truly went into the crapper under Bush, right?
It existed before and not really has changed. Take for instance the job I currently work, when I came in as a contractor there were 4 people working it, myself and 3 federal employees, over the last couple of years those people were moved to other duties and what was done increase, no problem I have a long list of things to do but generally get them everything done in time.
I was recently insourced as part of President obamas insource everyone so we can save $41,000 per person(this was based on reports ordered by President Bush but did not apply to this blanket insourcing) and they are now in the processes of having what I was doing done by 6 federal employees, myself and 5 others and some of the work I was doing is going away. If that is not a poor attitude on what can be done by federal employees then what is?
Please get over your hate.
I was a federal IT employee during the time when all this outsourcing got going, there should still be paperwork with my signature contracting out jobs, I read all the paperwork on doing it and everything else and it start and was organized by ex-President Clinton. All the studies, reports, and decisions continued in the Bush administration came from Clinton.
The main reason Clinton gave for outsourcing everything had the main points of being cheaper, being able to get the job done(not able to hire enough federal employees and flexibility of not being locked in with the federal employees and the loss of new skills that gave.
Now all this new insourcing the reports and analysis they are using are all coming from studies ordered during the Bush administration, except they are ignoring the warning given in the reports and just told people to insource. This is now leading to people building up empires and it is now costing more then the proposed cost saving. You did have President Bush allowing more experimentation to see if some positions would save money and generate similar results some worked out and others were failures and insourced.
And it is very regulated in Europe on time and how it can be shown, something that janet jackson event would of failed. if you want examples do a search for that time frame and there was a big stink in europe because part of a female breast was shown during prime time as part of a educational surgury.
No, because after a few years, 2-3 IIRC, with no profit you are not longer a business the IRS classifies yours actions as a hobby.
There are additional rules on food and proving that the trips were business related.
No, alot of solution have been put on the back burner because the scientists are afraid of messing things up more then they currently are. The source of the spill is capable of producing a lot more oil and the thinking has been lets try other potions that if they fail do not have a significant possibility of opening it to its full potential.
Except facebook does not do any hosting, they direct the players to servers running the application. Facebook does get all the spam, 3Gb/sec at peak, according to reports.
Steam, microsoft games, market stores for various products,etc all provide hosting and other features which based on brick/motar distribution would give the them 25-50% of the money paid by the customer. Facebook is just offering a microtransaction service.
The percent is the fee credit card companies charge each time a customer uses a credit card, aka transaction fee. Interest for the borrowers is extra.
You can get in the double digit transaction fee range if you are a very small company so you don't qualify with the credit card companies. Then you have to go through 3rd party companies and they charge double digit percent fees.
Reading one of the articles mentioned that one song was downloaded while he was gone. I presume that more then one person in germany is pirating music, videos,etc so how in the world was this person singled out?
Check your numbers.
According to John Jeavons you need.988 acre per person for a sustainable permaculture farm. Just going organic farming you can easily support 50 people per acre and if run in a factory manner will over 100. A farm using modern scientific methods would completely blow both of those away.
The US companies I have worked for that give unlimited amounts of money for training have required that you give them 3 years or 3 times the length of training, so a 2 year degree would require you giving them 6 years from the start of the degree. Those would be at a pro rated decrease.
However most of the companies I have been with just set a limit, usually $3000-$4000 a year and don't require any time pay back.
What you say about at will is correct however most people are covered under an employee handbook which the courts have decided is a legal contract. So if the case firing do happen and the employee handbooks were not followed it comes down to breaking of a contract and the penalties that come from that.
Was really surprised how close they got to real world. Was watching a documentory on Pripyat after I had finished the first game and it was kind of scary to be able to know that the camera would be showing when they turned the camera.
Just don't remember the indoor pool in the game, maybe I missed it.
Reading the article made we interesting in doing this for my early summer trip, that or playing to much of the STALKER FPS games. Plane tickets being less then 150Eur.
Did you use a tour agency to get from Kiev to Pripyat? If so what one, if you would recommend them.
Thanks.
And easy in training people in what to do or what a laser from space would look like.
Just going with the old Communist fixed frequency radios or similar to the ones the US dropped during Korea or Vietnam would be cheaper and provide more and better information.
On the Thames, in London, freezing only happened when they were working on bridges and such so the river had been partially dammed so it was slower then normal and far slower then it is today.
The fast movement of the river today prevents freezing except in some places where the not much water movement.
Easily, if the number built is for those built for the US government, considering we just are not ordering that many aircraft, most just get refurbished. For new aircraft the orders are very low for instance the new Air Force tanker contract is only for around 180 tankers and that is to replace the existing ones.
For numbers a quick check shows that thier are a total of 1480 F-18 ever built and for the F-16 a total of around 5000+ were build. Those were both heavily sold to forgein governments so even if half were shipped to the US government then the count would be well under 6800.

The highest credit card only charge in the 5-6% range and facebook wants 30%. At the max paypal charges 2.9% with a small fixed fee.

He owns & runs a bar/night club in california.

So the US should be more like Europe and sell push-up bras for 7 year-olds and stripping poles as toys for teenagers?
