Apple’s data center is also supposed to create 250 indirect contracting jobs for maintenance and security. But many in this close-knit town of about 3,400 people — it essentially shuts down Friday nights for high school football — do not know anyone working at Apple.
This part struck me because we moved into a small town when I was in 7th grade. Small towns are weary of 'outsiders'. I bet that most of the people they hired were IT people that were shipped from elsewhere. (I doubt that a town that small had 50 IT people just sitting around). They were probably young and highly mobile. Give them a chance to settle, make a family, etc.
And they don't hit as hard because they don't use padding. In American Football you have idiots running into each other full tilt because they're wearing so much padding. But in that 1/20 chance that you hit wrong you get a serious injury.
If I told you to run into a wall as hard as you could and I'd give you $10. You'd do it at a certain velocity wearing no padding. If you strapped on a helmet and shoulder pads you wouldn't hit just as hard as you had been hitting, you'd start hitting it harder. And most of the time you'd be fine, but occasionally you'd hit it wrong or have your hemet at the wrong angle and hurt yourself. Or in Football you'd hurt the other person because you were hitting that much harder.
In addition there are rules to how to tackle in Rugby (Not sure about Aussie Rules). You HAVE to wrap in a tackle. You can't just body check someone out of bounds. You also have to do something the entire game. American Football you burst for 10 seconds then rest for 60. You don't have people hitting as hard because you have to get up and ruck. You have to be there for the next play because play hasn't stopped.
I'd say almost none of these tackles are legal. You have someone picking up and dumping, body checking, leading with the head, etc. They have fewer injuries because of the laws of the game AND because they don't use padding. If they started using more padding they'd hit harder.
So everyone thinks like that during blowjobs/sex? Here I just blamed the ADHD. It's not about being distracted during routine stuff. It's about being distracted during EVERYTHING.
Fuck you right back, you doped addicted hypochondriac. My grandmother died from Alzheimers, which is a horrific disease that literally steals your mind from you, and it's very likely I will die from it as well.
I see. So since you have first hand experience with it, it's a "real" disease. But I'm still making stuff up. Well I think your grandma was making shit up. She probably didn't want to deal with a worthless grandson. She just pretended to relive the better years because to her it was better than having to put up with you. She probably pulled her own plug to have to get out of pretending any more.
Because that's what I every time you claim I'm making up what I live with daily.
Go look up Wellbutrin (Bupropion) I wouldn't exactly your hard core 'get high' like you do from any amphetamines. I grew up with out drugs. My parents refused to medicate. Hell yes it's "over diagnosed". Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For financial reasons I also didn't get glasses until I was 23. I just always assumed that that's how people saw. Putting on a pair of glasses everything snapped into sharp focus. Welbutrin (after a bit of build up since it's ~ssri) does the same thing.
I'd really be interested in hearing your "ADHD doesn't exist" argument. Because you've obviously never dealt with anyone with it and obviously don't have it yourself.
I find the suggestion that computer time 'causes' ADHD laughable because it's a difference in brain chemistry. Amphetamines calm us down. I met a guy that when he was 'up' would take a small hit of meth and sit down and paint. Alcohol makes me hyper. Amphetamines settle me down. Long before there was a computer in our house my mom knew she had to watch what she gave me.
The main argument against ADHD is "Well duh. I can obviously pay attention to stuff I like." Yes. I can easily app attention to something I like. I can go into a piece of code or a project and come out 12 hours later having not moved, eaten or done anything but what I threw my self into. The problem with the ADHD brain is you can't relax.
Since this is/., I'll probably catch some trollols "OMG U TUCH GURL!" But this is the most apt example I can come up with: If I'm giving a back massage or concentrating on actually DOING something. I can pay attention no problem. The problem comes when it's my turn to relax. It doesn't happen. Sure the return back massage feels great but, what was that last piece of code I was working on How od you calculate the sum of squares in a graeco-latin experiment design I wonder how I can implement that on my TI-89. I wonder if there is anything like this matlab function in the TI-89. I'll probably have to write my own. TI-89 what a shitty calculator. It came out in 1998 In 1998 my cellphone sucked and my android does so much more Why doesn't TI update their product line. Oh crap getting back massage try to relax, relax, why can't I relax, oh yeah that stats test. Stats is such an easy class what class am I taking next semester. Next semester do I have enough money to cover it. All in the span of a minute or two.
Cleaning the house doesn't get done because my mind jumps like that. "Oh, this be longs in the garage" Go to the garage. Start to put it away and find in the garage that needs to go somewhere. Eventually bouncing around the entire house doing 'nothing' and putting away small stuff.
If I'm with my girlfriend and we're talking about something in the car I can be 5-10 subjects away when I break the silence a minute later and say something and get some odd looks. Because she assumes we're still talking about the one thing we were talking about or something very similar. Hell in the time it's taken me to finally write this post I've opened 20 Fark tabs, read those topics. Started responses in those threads. Opened a few XBMC Forum threads. Put those in another window. Checked my bank statements and still have 2 dozen tabs open. Put the Chili in the fridge. Found something in the fridge I wanted to reheat. Put it in the microwave. Got distracted waiting for it to finish and started laundry.
When I'm on my meds it's a noticeable difference. I'll start in one corner of a room and knock it out like it's nothing. I'll write posts in one response. I can sit down and do ONE thing to completion or near completion. And I didn't have a computer in the house until High School. I made it through college all on my own. I finally went to the family doctor at 27 and got on Welbutrin. It's not an amphetamine and they're not really sure why it works for ADHD, but I can tell you it's made a big difference in my life at home and at work.
So fuck you and everyone else who thinks its made up. Why not go around the old folks home and yell at the alzheimers patients about their 'made up disease'
When working through problems for tests or even scratch paper for homework I'd always raid the recycle bin next to all the campus computers. Full of 1 sided paper that is just tossed.
Sometimes you'll find a bunch of PS errors that printed nothing but glyphs on a 1/2 a ream of paper. Then it's the jackpot. I don't ever remember paying for paper during my undergraduate.
Owning a gun isn't required to continue living. But when the Bill of Rights was written it was unthinkable for someone to be with out one. Not quartering soldiers isn't required to continue living.
USB, Network, etc. I removed the optical drive in my MacBookPro and it was one of the best things I ever did. I dropped in an SSD HD and I haven't used my DVD-RW once since then as an external drive.
I bought an old laptop from ~2001 for $10 to use as a shairport jukebox. I PXE boot it with NFS. Over a gigabit ethernet network it's plenty fast.
So use TrueCrypt and a hidden volume. Give them the keys to your outer volume. It mounts and they can browse your collection of Lolcats. Let them prove that's not what they were looking for.
While the choice to buy local can be difficult, do you think that GM or Ford would be in such a pickle if the American public were thinking of their country first and refused to buy Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi and all those Hyundais?
I think you should read up on where the Toyotas (AL, KY, WV, TX, IN, MS*), Hondas (AL, OH), , Mitsubishis (IL) and Hyundais (AL) are made. Along with Benz (AL), BMW (SC), VW (TN*), and Subaru (IN).
It's not the "law" it's in their credit card contracts. The same with charging a minimum. (Go through some time and read the contracts that people sign to accept credit cards).
You also can't charge MORE, but you can offer a discount. (How this is different, I don't know).
I've spoken to a few managers when I was told that to run my credit card it would be a $20 minimum even though I only wanted 1 drink. I sent a very polite letter to each of the big 3 credit card companies, explaining what happened and the next time I went back that requirement was gone. I don't pull that on Mom & Pop stores but if you're going to make a deal about it then I'm definitely going to cause trouble.
As long as they can deal with the fact that I'm a 90 year old female that lives in 90210.
Oh, you mean we have to tell the truth? Somewhere there is an entire branch of statistics dedicated to throwing away the mandatory answers I give to some websites.
The only thing that sucks is TI thinks "Cheap" is all the Arduino is about. I'm going with Arduino since I'm finally ready to get into it. IDE on all platforms, ease of use. People have got it on Linux and OS X and Windows has 2 "commercial" IDEs that have limitations.
The Launchpad is straight C, meaning you get to set all the pins in hex. BUT if you know what you're doing, it looks awesome.
They would have taken the market overnight if they had everything Arduino had.
The only difference between ping pong balls and bullets is scale. If you got this thing good enough to pick out and detect bullets it'd be like any Hollywood action movie.
Figure out how you want to communicate (USB, UART, etc) and write the code (just a huge while loop reading the pins) and send it out over your selected interface.
Or Simulink & an XPC. Hell with an XPC box and a few dozen knobs we built an entire engine hardware in the loop simulator. Knobs for air pressure, engine speed, throttle position, etc. Took one of our technicians about 3-4 days to get all built up.
Or if you're poor an arduino and some Pots. That's all "Knobs" and "sliders" are. Go read up on voltage dividers. Get yourself a A/D converter. Feed one side 5V, Set 0V to 0%, 5V to 100%. Tada read it with the Arduino and you have yourself actual inputs.
Here's one already done with an Arduino. The more pots you want find something with more analog IO.
Buy a project box from from radio shack drill some holes, put it all in. You could probably do most of it for under $50.
I have NEVER had a dependency fail in Sid. Never. The current only 'problem' in nvidia switched up all their calls and you have to stay with xorg stable. Aptitude is smart with it and as long as you use nvidia-glx and don't try and install the drivers your self, everything is happy.

If you just want to watch people get career ending broken bones and possibly fatal concussions..
Aussie rules and Rugby have less injuries than American Football because you don't have padding. You learn to wrap and tackle properly.

Jericho reboot is currently on AMC. They wanted to mix it up a bit from "Internal terrorists" and went with "Zombies" instead as the main plot.
More or less remains unchanged.

XBMC does, unless she wants to use it as a DVR.
Put it in the microwave upside down on 20-30% power in 30 second increments. It will melt the peanut butter and it'll flow.
