Hopfully Binden will stick with his word and under Obama they will switch to a new system something not seen under Bush and which Obama/Binden followers will not understand which has to be conservatism.
The financial radio shows I have been listening to here in Europe have put some of the decrease in stocks in the last 2 months because it is realized that Obama will win. If the stock market is going up that would indicate that it is just a freaky day, people happy that is election race is over???, or they think McCain is going to win and the market is correcting itself.
If you were thinking about retiring before Bush you should not of been in the stock market when it burst.
My stock wealth is back to were it was when the Democrats took over Congress but luckly I had the years of growth before that so it is just a matter of waiting a few more years(3-4) and I will be far above what I previously had.
One think to consider for those retiring if you had put $10,000 dollars in the stock market when Bush was first elected you would still have a better rate of return then if you had gotten the rate of return social security will give.
That was a weird case, VanGoethem was on record as being a member of the embassy staff so he had diplomatic immunity and the embassy treated him as such.
He was not covered by the military SOFA but by international diplomatic treaties.
Wow talk about a post that lacks links with reality.
First Guam and Puerto Rico have had votes, multiple times, on what they want to have happen to them, votes keep coming up as keep it as is. The ball is currently in their courts and they don't want to rock the boat from the current benefits they are receiving. Personally I think we should give them a set date when they have to decide and force the to decide.
What kind of joke is this about the military bases being a havens of criminals??? As a general rule if you commit a crime on base you will be tried by the US or turned over to the locals, if you do something off base you will be almost always be tried by the local government, this is in the SOFA, the main benefit you get is that you be held on the military base during the time up to the trial. In addition to local government penalties you also face the chance of the military trial and punishment.
The rape case of Christopher A. Barberi was against US citizens while on a military base and back in the USA, so it fell under US law and a military court, if done off base and a German citizen based on past cases it would of been handled over to the German courts. The light sentence is because he could not be charged for some of the crimes because of statue of limitations and their were questions about the reliability of the girl to the point of having relatives saying she was lying. The case in Japan where you had an accused raped not being tried by the Japanese court systems was because the accuser said she lied about the accusation so the Japanese government dropped the case, the person was still tried by the military court because of actions before it was dropped.
Only if they are different processors, if all the cores were on the same chip it would only be a single CPU license; for those products that have a CPU license.
Microsoft has been very good on that and while most other companies have been calling each core a separate processor Microsoft has not. Also with the latest round of products microsoft has been easing licenses with respect to failovers, with a decent amount of their products you can now setup a failover server and not be charged for the license cost and user licenses on the failover server.
No, for the simple reason that President Bush keeps top Congress members appeased on what he was doing. This has come up a few times when something has hit the news and Democrat members have said they did now know of it and then the White House would release the listing of attendees and there were the Democrats.
if the Democrats were to do anything it would just lead them to having to try their own members, so it is far better for them to stay quiet and let the rumors spread that something illegal was done.
Flex Builder is the IDE from Adobe and is built on Eclipse, there are a bunch of other editors available, a quick google search found 4 others. So Flex Builder is the IDE, from adobe, Flex is the framework and flash is the runtime.
The Flex SDK can be downloaded for free and is covered by the open source Mozilla Public License.
Also Silverlight does not support all those languages for version 1 only C#, Javascript (ECMA 3.0), VB, Python and Ruby that has been expanded some for version 2. For most of those you have to use the Silverlight Dynamic languages SDK, which makes it really different code from non-dyanmic languages.
Living in Germany and just do basic banking stuff so their may be more advanced options that are not commonly used.
What you do most of the time in Germany would be recognized as a reverse check you give someone your bank code and control number and they goto the bank, very limited on-line capability, and submit that and they do a transfer. If utilities and requests for payments from companies they will send you pre-filled in forms so you can just go to the bank do a quick verify at ATM type devices and and submit the form.
Banks will handle scheduled transfers for thing like rent and fixed payments. For payments that vary per month, such as utilities, it can vary most bank/utilities(of the 3 I have used) still work the old way, you do a payment each month based on last year and then once a year a person comes by does a reading and reimburses you or sends a form for the owned extra amount, you then adjust the amount you are paying based on if you need to pay more or less. For the 3rd utility they pay each month based on last year but every 6 months and if you had filled in the forms with the utiltiy and your bank, and the bank did it, they would mail the bank form directly to the bank and since you had pre-approved it the utility got paid.
So for your Grandma it would be cash. In fact cash is very much needed in Germany, most restaurant unless they deal with alot of tourist do not do anything but cash. Larger grocery stores, stores on the autobahns will accept the eurocard, but leave the major city and chances of that working decrease. When I was back in the US carried very little cash and did credit cards for everything, I have since gone to carrying a hundred or so all the time.
On the bonus side merchants still have to do some trust of the customer, I have purchased some large price items and as a payment option they would give me one of the bank forms, and ever had them as a payment option from hotels.
First let me state I have done more development work with silverlight then Flash, and not much at that I advoid both of them.
The developer product to compare silverlight with is NOT Flash it is Flex. Doing a developer side comparision of silverlight and flash is wrong you should do it between silverlight and flex.
On stablity and security comparision is just plain foolish, flex has been around alot longer is far more proven, the only way you can get silverlight having the better stability is if you compare all versions over the life time of the product, but then you are comparing silverlight and flash which are different types of products.
Once you start comparing the current products along usful lines silverlight has a long ways to go, flex has far more client availability both on the platforms it supports and the number of installs, also from a programmers standpoint, flex can be used with alot more languages there are lot more freely available components and is a far more mature product. Flex also has been used into a huge major sites, ebay, yahoo, oracle, youtube, etc. Silverlight has the olympics and alot of small demos, and why I have had to install it on my personnal machines paid replacement sites which now have less functionality then they had with same thing in Flash (www.ryanair.com) or sites that now require you to have silverlight to view the information but the flash add no functionaility over DHTML (www.microsoft.com/click/sharepointdeveloper/).
Silverlight will get wide spread usage because Microsoft is spending money getting sites to switch, they are pushing it out as a recommended install, and they are making it a requirement for other products, on capabilities and feature* the product is a waste.
* Silverlight has better video capabilities then flash & flex so if you planning to setup a Youtube replacement silverlight is probably the way to go.
Further down on the page they have passport holders and wallets. They are compariable in price to the ones on Thinkgeek site, excluding the stainless steel one.
Based on the photos the wallets are the same ones.
The purpose was to decrease the time it took to process a passport aka person. Bar codes can have problems being read and take more time to scan then RFIDs. In addition the RFID contain the same information you see in the passport, so that you can check that against the database and future use would allow checking the RFID stored photo with a camera scan to verify ID.
The problems mentioned here and elsewhere are that you can copy an RFID make a duplicate of it. With a regular passport that is not really a problem, excluding privacy since they contain personnal data but the US system and others are suppose to be encrypted so you cannot get the info without the physical passport so you can get the key, because your passport is checked against the database entery and then the person doing the check is suppose to compare the computer to the passport to the holder and they should all match. In this case the problem is that these are passport cards, not regular passports, designed for people who cross the borders all time and this will allow for quick processing with the passport card never being checked by human; same system that you have for toll road cards.
Since these cards and also drivers licenses are not encrypted and not checked by humans an evil person could copy the card, get your PIN and then have easy access to cross the border, provided they don't have sort of facial recognition system, being implemented, that checks your passport card against the database against the facial recognition system.
Most of thoses bases or post are for things like the US Marines who guard US Embassies, you have US Navy personnal assigned to counties where we have ships that stop for refueling, suppies,etc to make sure the paperwork is completed and do the papwerwork to allow them access to local water, and you have military post for the US Air Force that do the same thing for allowing access to local country air space.
Except for the marines the others usally dressed in business suits and work out of local government offices or rent local office space the US does consider them military assignments if only for the paperwork.
The problem is not just with the return vehicle it is medical dealing with bone loss and radiation.
A simple to and from trip will take at best 2 to 2 1/2 years. Not include much time on the planet.
Based on studies from past studies for long term stays in space, primarily from the Soviet Union, and guesses it is thought that people would loose around 50% of the bone density, in certain bones, in 2 years, which would probably result in a high probability of serious health problems once they hit the earth gravity well. The bones could just collapse under standard weight and it would take years for them to be in a condition to walk under their own strength.
For comparison osteoporosis is defined as a 25% bone loss and has a 175% increased chance of a bone fracture and a 325% increase for a hip fracture.
If you are using Sharepoint then Office 2007 is great and links in really nicely; I would rate it a must upgrade.
If not then the nicest thing about Office 2007 is that the new features of Excel and Powerpoint make it really easy to make it look really nice. You can quickly make designs that look nice, the nicest thing I like in PowerPoint is that font sizes automatically change if the amount of text is more then the size of the text area.
Not really needed but the new format is alot smaller and because of the format you can use the extension to get files past the email filter. The only other nice thing is that they are starting to drop Visual Basic for Applications and allowing you to use C# for coding, not available in all parts but hopefully the next version will increase its availability.
Since people have already posted on this, another example of how a windshield is not needed are people parachuting, standard free fall is 124 mph and people have no problem exhaling.
People have also free falled for 250 mph and had no problem exhaling, the problem they have you have to start off really high for that and lack of oxygen.
Copyright is treated as both a criminal matter and a civil matter depending on the quantity of items copied also if you are making a profit from them there is a better chance that it will be considered criminal. Also depends on the country.
In the US corn oil is used for alot of biodiesel and it is increasing.
It has slowwed a little, and some new plants delayed because of the high cost of corn but with prices lowering except it to ramp up again.
The summary is a little missleading.
The two states in India that allow it have set up labs were the device was/is being tested, the lack of per review is that the people outside of India do not have full access.
This is the second case where the judge has mentioned the test, the first was against a man. In the first case the judge said that the test was not used as "concluded proof" but that the tests backed the other evidence. In this case the judge include 9 pages on why he used the test results and defense of the system.
As for its use, in India to have the test run on you requires that you volunteer. In the US I would guess it usage would have to meet the same requirements that were setup for lie detectors. A quick search shows that their has been no federal ruling, excluding that lie detectors don't work, so you have some locations where the judge can order a person, some where lie detectors were considered no different from taking a persons fingerprints, to others where they said a person could not be forced.
