--3....and pays salaries and bonuses that are nearly 50% above industry norms. So, are the call center workers still the working poor?--
Yep, junkies out in the country. In fact some where I know that they ripped out the cable and broadband because no one there could afford it. I can't figure that out. It is still sunk cost and maintenance after that can't be much, unless it's just that the pole tax is higer for each power pole they ride on.
Welcome to the First World economy. The Chinese ain't too happy that we will work more than them now either. We'll devaluing the dollar to pay for debt is going to come back home if it hasn't already. Everyone else, "you are next." If you think back the same cycle has repeated itself since the collapse of the Soviet Union. You gotta spend on guns or butter take your pick.
There is also a user reason for this. Some of the same people call you many times because they are just plain stupid. This ruins things for everyone else that really needs a level 3 tech. Anyone that needs a level 1 would just be for maybe activation of a service and that is it.
I don't worry now, because one day I was fixing the Dali Lama's computer when it broke. I said "Man are you going to pay me now or what?". He said I don't have any money and if I did I wouldn't give it to you, but I can give you something else instead. I thought to myself, self I gotta get something outa this deal and a little something is better than nothing. So I said OK. He said the he would put me on the fast track to the afterlife. So, I don't worry since I now have that going for me:)(: Now contemplate that with a Shenyang.
It's really like watching a bunch of hungry monkeys in bomb factories, and the monkeys have the sledgehammers. We'll there is also no use in worrying about things you can't change. Even thinking about that is depressing, a monkey pressing buttons.
Yeah, I understand too. The big depressing thing is death and as far as I have seen, there is no avoiding it. One day you will die, just like a happy but stupid dog. It's hard for me to think about what if anything is going to happen after that. So to be happy, you have to think you have life after death figured out. Only the stupid can say that they have that problem solved or ever will IMO.
There is probably a lot of old FORTRAN code still be used where line numbers were a requirement. By god I really hate FORTRAN for some reason. I don't much like a bunch of nested if code either, so what you are saying makes sense to at least limit the width of the nesting to the size of your monitor or something. 100 columns is OK. 180 or greater is bad bad. Of course there is and will continue to be all kinds of ways people get used to doing things.
It's really easy for them because even if you have a dvr it has a limiter on the commercial skipping and some say viewing them faster works on your mind even better. Even with my dvr all my channels I still can't hardly find anything worth watching. Only the very old ever buy anything off of TV anymore. Dying dead etc. The goo is finally moving elsewhere.
Your right directv owns all 3 of mine and they work just fine (age 45). The bummed me out over tivo but I guess I can live with it. Most stuff comes back on again.
AC learn to read. To make it simple the BSA is just as bad as the RIAA but they don't go after a big business just small businesses. Some of those guys might be here with start-ups and could get hit by them because one person gets fired and cries about it. If they come in on you, you will have to pay 4 to 5 figures whether you are in the right or not. I think the RIAA has to win the case to get their money. The BSA doesn't.
You should have more for small businesses. Microsoft can sweep in with the BSA and federal marshals and tap you for $100,000 if they just say your 5% out of compliance. The government gave them the power to do that. If you wanna fight them we'll you have to pay your lawyer plus theirs right off the bat whether they win or loose. Now they went to congress and lobbied for this so in a way they have more authority to smack you down than the RIAA. I believe Microsoft will when they decide to make everyone buy Windows 7 that they don't want because XP is still plenty for most small business AND NO small business is totally in compliance either. Small business employs a lot of people, and for the most part are ants compared to a Microsoft that just have to pay the fine. When that happens you will really see open source because small business is the last hold that Microsoft really has now. They will kick ants on the way down just like the RIAA is doing. Imagine what they might do to open source (free software) with their patents if it wasn't for other elephants like IBM supporting it. So they go after small businesses and it's just as not right as the RIAA.
Luckily, you can check the validity or lack thereof of the citations. The military stuff seems mostly accurate, but some of the rest is laughable but then again a print encyclopedia has the same issues.
--'As you run out of food, people start competing for that food, and that results in a slowdown in population growth and means that the stronger, more well-adapted part of the population starts to have more power.'"--
This seems to happen to every open site when they become popular. If you don't write a lot, then your specialized knowledge on a subject might be lost forever. Then again, here nothing goes away, but hoe do you go about finding it? If you can crack that nut, you would have power beyond belief. Google seems to get the closet to being able to sort the 1% good from the 99% bad even so the user must do a lot of work to get there.
I have seen lasers and blanks with rifles and differing scenarios for military use, but real bullets would make it even more real since you would get the kick, muzzle rise etc. This would be more realistic than blanks and a laser. So IMO this is really cool and I want one.
The facts are this, I liked Bush at first. When he decided to go to war with Iraq, I thought we all were going to be in big trouble if he doesn't find WMD's that are a threat, specifically nuclear material. We'll none have been found period. The "sent it all somewhere else" like Syria answer is a lame answer, because that is just a wild guess. Where is the smoking gun? Bush didn't even have the sense to fake some evidence. Who cares about chemical weapons? Like I said before, they are simple for 2 guys to make. As far as me citing the page, I didn't but you did, I just provided a link that you didn't. At the top of the page it does say 2004. I'll quote it for you "In late 2004 he joined al-Qaeda and pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden." Before that it is mention as alleged. You are right about him being a terrorist though.
The only reason I'm answering at all is your statement:
ME**I do remember Bush saying that if you were not for us, you were against us. That is a silly and dangerous idea.**
YOU--Actually, no it isn't silly. Or would you find it fitting that your friends hang around and support someone wanting to kill you?--
We'll you are obviously not with me. Do I consider you a threat merely because we don't agree and your not "with me" on this particular issue. We'll not really because it's only a discussion. Bush may have not meant it to sound that way, but since I can't read minds, only he will know. It sure sounds like he only wanted "yes men" in his administration though.
The list of complaints on Obama are increasing with me as well. Both political seem to say one thing to get elected and then do the exact opposite of that once they are there. The Libertarian's out there or the other parties seem to have even less answers for problems.
If I have wish or agenda at all it would be to NOT let corporations donate to political campaigns. That way the leaders would have to please the people and not just the 1% of rich people that give them money.
--You claiming I have a conservative agenda is a bit moronic coming from someone who wants to ignore reality so bad that he can't even remember a line of conversation less then 5 days old.--
I looked at your other links and they are not newer than 2002.
As far as Al-Qaeda goes, what it is or was is still a matter of debate. Some evidence suggest that it was a US invention to convict Osama Bin Laden under the RICO act in a absentia.
Maybe an air strike or two and some special forces would have been enough to take care of the other problems you mentioned with fewer deaths and money spent that an all out war would cost us. Trying to turn Iraq into a democracy is beyond naive. As far as my political leanings go, they tend to be based on facts rather than opinions. I don't an agenda one way or another. I'm like everyone else in the fact I don't like to be lied too. Of course since all war is based on deception, there could have been another reason to be in Iraq that would justify killing so many people even ours, and ruining the economy to pay for it. My guess is that the other countries that didn't go along with us had the same information we did and didn't just disagree because the were "against us".
I do remember Bush saying that if you were not for us, you were against us. That is a silly and dangerous idea.
I think you sir are have a neo conservative agenda, and besides what does any of this have to do with bunker busting bombs?
--This is especially true when Iraq was giving safe harbor to known terrorist, allowed terrorist training camps to operate in northern Iraq, was giving sanction and medical treatment to Foreign nationals injured in battle against the US in Afghanistan, and was paying a pension to the families of suicide bombers who attacked Israel.--
Citations please, no conservative think tank. Real ones. They didn't fund Al-Qaeda. Where is the proof for that? Iran sure as hell are funding new ones. They just make plastic explosive and send it across there borders to where we are located now. That is where the real threat is right now.
Like someone else said Bush overreacted. He should have used other means for the problem there.
This is interesting. I heard Khrushchev told the military no when they wanted to build a bomb that would wipe out the whole earth. The plan was that if the US initiated a first strike, then they would just wipe everything out. I think it was to be as big as a super tanker. Even the Russians thought this was crazy, but I have heard that it really is possible.
I believe the overall weight of the thing is what they mean. I believe that was over 13,000 kilos (30,000 lbs.). The explosive is less, probably because they want deeper penetration. Also, there are other explosives out there now that would be better to use than Torpex, but you are right about where the concept started. A Grand Slam might have weighed 22,000 lbs. or about 10,000 kilos although the Grand Slam had more explosive in it. POP SCI just said it was the largest and by most measures it is by a little.
