Nah, GP is right. Unless you restrict the camera to a single picture it's too easy to cheat and take a second one if the first shows the crosshairs on the deer's butt. Plus gauging the time of flight versus the target's movement would be very difficult to capture with a picture.
And pressing a shutter button is nothing at all like squeezing the trigger of a high powered rifle that will make a very loud scary, blast and recoil when it goes off.
As it stands, 57 percent of respondents said training or retraining staff would be their strategy to closing the skills gap. 38 percents said they would go with outsourcing or contractors; 28 percent said they would hire new employees.
Yea, that adds up to over 100%. Whatever.
Message here is that if you consider yourself a skilled employee, you (not your employer) are responsible for keeping your skills up to date. Companies don't train Luddites.
Where I live (rural Appalachia) it's quite common to see a person walking around with a gun whether it's hunting season or not (although offhand I can't think of any time during the year when it isn't open season on something, woodchucks if nothing else). Many times I've stopped to chat with the person even if I don't know him.
Officers were specifically instructed that it was to be used only when the officer would have otherwise been required to use lethal force
This really sounds like BS to me. You give police pepper spray and tell them to use it instead of their gun? Place yourself in a situation where you think lethal force is necessary; literally life or death. Are you going to take a chance that you or another innocent person could be killed by pulling out a can of pepper spray? Nonsense.
Just curious - how much do you boil off? I've never bothered to measure. When it goes into the fermenter I add water to reach the desired OG; I can't imagine how it would make any difference if you add the water at the beginning or at the end but I suppose some aficionados would see it differently.
I sent a suggestion to Google a while ago. My idea was to have a public repository of ideas. Any idea that was published in it would thus become prior art and could be used against stupid patents. I have no clue if that would actually work, IANAL, etc. Google never wrote back to me...
but a good place to start would be for the government (and annoying nosy neighbors) to mind their own business
Have you suggested that to your local, state or federal elected representatives? Do you work on any candidates' campaigns?
The Occupy Something movement seems more about throwing a hissy fit than offering a better alternative and working to bring it about, which is why I can't take it seriously.
Maybe, but I didn't see that in the linked articles. Basically it's just a warning that if you lose your phone it's pretty much guaranteed that the finder will read your email, Facebook, and maybe bank account information if you haven't made any effort to protect it.
To be fair, liability insurance is standard standard practice at events this size. Democrats did the same thing in Denver.
It would be interesting to see municipalities start filing lawsuits against organizations like MoveOn, CodePink, and Occupy when people from those organizations cause unlawful disruptions.
I've only dabbled in home brewing, but water use is not an issue for almost everyone. To make a five gallon batch you'll need about 5 gallons of water, plus in unknown amount for washing...
Have you ever been on a jury? I've been on two; in the first trial we found the guy guilty (he was totally guilty of beating up and robbing the victim). The other was a drunk driving charge that was bogus and the judge all but told us to let the guy off. From my personal experience the system works as designed.
Actually the trolls are the most outspoken. See all those racist signs at a Tea Party rally? You think most of them are really Tea Party members? Or people trying to discredit the Tea Party? Same with comments on any controversial subject or website.
I know reading the article is too much work for you, but the very first illustration shows someone leaving the room and knocking on the wall where a light switch would normally be found...
So you're saying you don't think that the lead counsel for the defendant being unable to distinguish between the two products at a fairly close distance
Without knowing the lawyer, there are any number of reasons she couldn't identify which was which; the most likely being that she probably had reading glasses on and couldn't see squat at that distance (personal experience talking here).
remember the invisible hand of the market? it should take care of 'shortages' just fine
In fact, that's exactly what's going on here. Millions of people are out of work; why would a company hire the most expensive workers when there are plenty of people willing to work for less?
If the job is as bad as some are claiming the workers will soon find an easier $20/hour job to pay their bills and market forces will drive the pay rate up. That seems more fair than artificially restricting the workforce to a chosen few who make high wages and blocking other qualified workers from doing the job for less.
Please stop. I know it's an election year and the editors have trouble hiding their political ideology, but this is looking more and more like a George Soros controlled website everyday.

On one, the person never returned my calls.
I hope you weren't calling his cell number...

Who decides what crimes are "victimless"? You? Me? The defendant? The Jury?
Many people would consider drunk driving victimless; same as many consider blocking traffic and trespassing in empty buildings victimless.

Still better odds than rubber bullets and tear gas.

My kitchen is like that, whoever wired it 75 years ago should have known better.

ICANN, and Genghis Khan, but Immanuel Kant
Collaborating? The US Government created ICANN in 1998 owned it until 2009. But thanks for your insight.

Pffft. Tablets go back to Biblical times. The UI was a little slow however.
I could probably make one out of plexiglass and plywood that could fool them from ten feet away. It's a shiny black rectangle with rounded corners.

*up to* 20 years and a fine of *up to* $250,000
He'll actually get much less. But tossing out numbers like that make for a better story.
