When CNN tried to book a trip on the flight, it was unclear whether seats were available to the general public -- or whether the flight, which began in 2007, was even running at all.
An agent at Conviasa said a round-trip would cost $1,450, and the flights depart from Tehran on Thursdays and depart from Caracas on Tuesdays. But he then said, his computer showed no seats available for the next four Thursdays -- and after that, the flight was not offered.
Another Conviasa representative, reached the next day, said that while the flight from Caracas to Syria was still running, the continuing leg from Syria to Iran has not been operating for some time.
Of course, some ppl apparently are able to get seats on that run: Abdul Kadir certainly did.
Fusion produces it. In addition, we can get more by having our oil well producers separate the He from the natural gas right when the well is first started. Pretty easy to do. And to be honest, we should go back to getting more of it.
Well, my brother was telling me that there are still protests about America being there and that it interferes with reunification (though he left just before the sub/cruiser incident; I suspect that might change things). In addition, there is zero chance of peaceful reunification happening without Jong being in control. He will insist on it. That is why I do not understand how it is that late teens push for reunification. Yes, I have little doubt that everybody would like reunification to occur. But how anybody can think that SK should go through the steps that Jong wants is beyond me. As it is, Jong is simply playing a chess game and creating a stalling game. He is far more interested in creating his nukes, along with helping other nations such as Burma, Iran, and possibly Venezuela to create theirs.
My brother is married to a S. Korean National. He spent a number of years in SK, doing his duty. After retiring, his wife wanted them to stay in SK so he worked for GD until recently before switching jobs to UK. Now, what I find interesting is, that he spoke about the fact that late teens, prior to being drafted, wanted SK gov. to give in NK's demand and merge with NK. ANd they did not care what the demands from Jong-Il was. However, after they do their duty, he was telling me that the kids change their minds.
Now, I read your statement, and it sounds like you want to merge with NK, no matter the cost.
Am I reading that right? WHY would you want to merge with them? The only way that Jong will do that, is if HE is in control. Would YOU want yourself, or your family to live under the same conditions as North Korea does now?
They have been doing most of their moves quietly. There is a 'public' flight from Venezuela airline that move between Venezuela, Syria, and Iran. The only problem is that when the publica tries to book a flight, you can not get on it.
In addition, a number of similar flights have been started between China, Burma, Iran, and North Korea.
Basically, many of these nations view themselves in a cold war with the west and are making sure that they remain in power, by hook, crock, or bullets, until some point later.
I wish that I had mod points left. I would modded you up. The fact is, that if Google were to do what the GP did, well, that would make them JUST LIKE MS. That is why MS was sued, and lost. The last thing that Google needs to do is something that stupid. It helps in the short term, but kills in the long.
However, Google does not have to help Oracle either. And if I were Google, I would start exploring, along with the other phone companies, another VM. And let it slip that they are now exploring a different route for ALL OF THE SMART PHONES AND PHONES. At that point, Oracle will become VERY concerned about the idea of losing that market. Sun had the same issue. Wanted to make LOTS of money, and they were not content to simply control it as well as be the top money maker. They wanted the largest profits possible in the shortest time. That approach is what Oracle is doing.
Actually, Linux IS suitable for ATC. And in fact, is used in a number of applications. There are several versions with DO-178B rating, so that it can be used in FAA, Medical and Military applications as well. At one of the jobs that I worked at, the Windows FanBois called MS and tried to push them to get the 178B rating. WHen MS did not know what Do-178B was, they asked for these guys to call them back in a week. Apparently on the next call, MS told them that there was ZERO chance of having Do-178B within the next 20 years. Why? Far to difficult to make it happen with any of the versions, or upcoming versions of Windows.
SO, you are correct that WIndows should NOT be used ANYWHERE in the FAA, Medical, or Military apps. HOWEVER, you are dead wrong on the use of Linux there.
The first is that HP does a nice job of tracking you. In fact, in general, ALL of Corporate America does this. The important part of that, is that HR is typically given access to the data. That way, if the company needs/wants to fire you, almost ALWAYS, they have SOMETHING to base it on.
The second is that all should realize that Hurd was not fired for Sex harassment. He was fired because ppl on the board wanted him out and did not have the courage to simply fire him.
Third, that is DAMN scary that Sexual harassment can be looking up public information about somebody. Would I, or anybody else, watch that kind of info on an somebody in a public position, esp. an actress? Hell yah. Even the HR would have done that.
And yet, places like Germany in which they make MORE per hour, work less, have similar productivity are getting jobs there. Hmmm. I wonder why? Because the companies are about where they work at?
Hmmm.
Apple charges top dollars and nobody gripes. Kind of kills your theory. The simple fact is, that every company who has moved their production from USA, EU, and Japan to China have taken a major hit in quality and ppl are tired of it.
And when I shop, I do look at where it is made at. I have no real issue paying 10-20, even 100% more for better quality products.
If anybody believes that this incidence is what causes his firing, they are absolutely stupid. This kind of stuff goes on ALL the time. And it is not enough to get ANY ceo fired in this day and age. Obviously, there is a LOT more behind the story, that HP does not want to come to light. The issue is that this was simply the last straw, or the rest was found during the investigation about this.
Ford was foolish enough to sell Volvo to Geeley. For now, China is claiming that they will keep work in EU, but not likely. Once Geeley gets their hands on it, then this program will be dead.
If you live in a nice neighborhood, then you can not win the approach that you spoke of. The fact is, that around my last neighborhood (saudi aurora, Colorado) and at my current one (highlands ranch,co), the only homes that I knew were broken into, had no burgler alarm signs. And around here, most ppl have a gun anyways. Also, the cops come quickly in nicer areas when an alarm goes off. Much quicker.
Yeah,
it is not like a burgler would never think to calm the dog (treats are wonderful; 'here boy' is used by most ppl to call their dog). And, it would never dawn on a burgler to simply KICK the dog to quiet it down.
My Sister had two dogs at their place in Mesa, AZ. The first time their house was robbed, both dogs were in corners with broken ribs. The burglers simply kicked both of them. 1 week later, the 2 guys came back for more. That time, they were caught and simply deported to Mexico (though, I am sure that they are back; that is a messed up situation). I have to say, that I wish that they had simply used a gun on these 2 and been done with it.
If you really want to be robbed, then do not make yourself the most attractive place in the area (do not be the big house in your place). In addition, put up a sign to say that you have a burgler alarm. Finally, put up an NRA sticker at all of your entrances. The burglers will go after easier prey. Think about Windows vs. Apple vs. Linux. Why is Windows broken into so often? BECAUSE IT IS EASIER. And it will continue until they are no more in the garbage heap on security. The same is true of your home. If you have the appearance of having lots of security, then they will skip your house and go to somebody easy. These guys want money and items. BTW, my sisters old home did not look expensive. It just looked easy (and it was). But, if an alarm is going to go off and the owners MAY have a gun, then you run the risk of being shot. It is not worth the risk for many crocks.
It was not patented. As such, the manufacturing will not go to China, but to Japan (who will then take it to China). Personally, Corning has earned my disdain. At this time, I will quit buying from Corning.
Yes, AE is getting more subsidy on a per watt item. HOWEVER, when Nukes, Coal, and Natural gas were started as energy production, they got a LOT more than this. Once the installed wattage is up, then the subsidy/watt drops.
The good news is that it accomplishes what needs to happen. Making industry accountable for their pollution. By requiring Coal and Gas plants to bury it, they will have a strong incentive to do things like Solar Thermal to the plant. Likewise, they will want to do energy storage. Basically, once Fossil fuel is required to handle their emissions (and that is IN ALL NATIONS; not just in the west which is what is happening), then and only then will the air, water clean up and items like Nukes and AE become trying affordable.
the same companies that object to torrent and other tools because it allows ppl to download their information, are now using these same tools to obtain information about citizens. Oh, the irony.
Please show where military costs are considered part of the equation.
Because US military alone was budgeted 663 billion in 2010 (though spent something like.9T).
What this shows is just 6 years. It does not show the money that was originally put into many of these programs. For example, Nuke had LOADS of R&D done by the feds. Still does. And it still needs more (hopefully this time, the feds will not stop the IFR project that has been quietly started at UIUC; GD kerry for pushing it and CLinton for not having enough backbone to say no). And Coal had LOADS of fed and state assistance to get started. Free land; loads of pollution with zero clean up (see pix of eastern aChina to get an idea of what some parts of America was like in the 60's).
Even now, the subsidy that is being calculated in the above study has NOTHING about the air, water, and ground pollution that is allowed. If burning coal and oil had to pay for their pollution in all these areas, then they would quickly run to the top in terms of costs. WELL OVER Solar PV (which today is the current king of costs).
Not even CLOSE to accurate.
How much money is paid for the right to DUMP pollution in the air in the burning? Nothing. We have a couple of 100 fires in old coal mines that the company that created the mine does not have to stop (too expensive). Both pollutions are HUGE. And how much is paid to offset it? Nothing by the power companies.
How much money is paid by Power companies for the right to send out mercury? The vast majority of mercury that is emitted by man is from power plants. In fact, out here in West USA, nearly all of the mercury in our waters come from power plant emission, or in a few areas, from old mining tailings.
The money that BP will pay for the gulf is but a fraction of the damage that it caused.
Exxon paid very little of the clean-up in Alaska. And Nigeria has large amounts of environmental damage, all caused by oil companies that do not care about spills.
In addition the taxes that will be paid on the oil that will likely be sold elsewhere (such as Alaska oil) is a pittance compared to how much we are stealing from out children.
Finally, the thought that we burn oil is just amazing to me. Oil truely is one of the worlds wonder chemicals. It permeates our society in every aspect. Yet, we throw away the majority, and really do not pay but a fraction of the real costs of burning oil and coal. It is time to stop this for our national security.
Of course, when you compare to what Coal and Nukes got in their beginning, this is absolutely NOTHING. Both Coal and Nuke power got HUGE subsidies in their early days. Which is exactly why they remain at the top on these. Which is also, why I have suggested changes to our subsidies structures for years.
Please show me where I am being supportive of Obama in this post.
Being against neo-cons, does not mean that I am in favor of Obama or lefties. I oppose the neo-cons for their total disaster that they created. However, if you even read this post or others, you will see that I am also calling Obama/dems to task for their in ability to change things. Or their UNWILLINGNESS to do the right thing. ANd I separate the neo-cons (reagan and W minions) against the republicans (lincoln, goldwater, truman, etc).
But hey, cowards like you, do not see that. YOU are the problem.

while CNN has issues with it, this month, you do a post from 3 years ago.
