May cost actually jobs but ends in a net increase of jobs.

Thought experiment: Assume that we got rid of min wage, and according to your argument instead of hiring one person at min wage the business could get away at hiring 2 people at half minimum wage (it would never happen in the real world. ITRW a business would just cut wages and keep the employment the same; keeping the resultant increase in efficiency for themselves but whatever) Those two people would be earning much less and could only realistically afford to live in shanty-towns with barely enough money left over to feed themselves, much less add any utility to the greater economy. Hence, the money doesn't move around the economy. Hence, no multiplier; no extra goods bought and sold and importantly no jobs created upstream of the way-less-than-poverty wages.
It might even be argued that wages below a certain level have a negative utility to the economy. The externalities not picked up by the slave-wage employer are passed on to society as a whole contribute to a net-loss of real jobs. Obviously this kind of thing can snowball and pick off previously higher paid jobs as it goes, pushing wages further down as unemployment rises. Creating a real world with haves and have-nots without a buffering middle-class.
Keep believing that the free market fairy will come and magically make things right; leaving goodies under your pillow as you sleep.
*Sigh* so wrong. A static magnetic field is a magnetic field where the current is 0 (and can be and generally is ignored in the field equations); or said another way, the charge isn't moving, but there is a charge.
The reason for the TANSTAAFL is nothing moving. Work isn't being performed. The forces are balanced. Now move that magnet across a wire and a current is induced; resistance to the movement occurs; heat is create; so and so forth.
Actually, they are. EM stands for Electro-Magnetic because the two are inseparably linked. You can't have magnetic fields without current or current without electricity. How do you think they create large magnetic fields anyway?
Friggen AC posters.
An interesting an thoughtful take on the situation. Is this really Slashdot? Obviously, you are an outsider to the US and its space policy, or you would have nonsensical version of the current NASA.
For those uninformed, NASA's budget has been cut beyond the quick and the unstaunched bleeding while crusting over is in the continual process of the scab being picked over and over again.
As several admissions have substantiised NASA just needs to get beyond the political football and create something of value, and build upon that legacy.
Corners are not cut to the quick in the healthcare industry because of lawsuit pressure. Except that current experience has taught us that when such pressures aren't relieved by anti-malpractice legislation. Which hasn't actually affected any real change in consumer prices in the states that it has been implemented. The rule is that profit is downwardly inflexible.
Aries 1. Is already in process. Which is to say that they are testing to build the thing. If I recall correctly they are firing the test vehicle either this year or next. NASA is currently working at breakneck speed and cut-rate costs. They planning on firing a human with an Aries I by 2015. There is not a contractor available that can work on the scale and scope of the Constellation (Aries I & V) which will be the biggest lift system ever made (outdoing the Saturn V.)
And before you know it, we'll have private companies paving our roads, building our courthouses, driving our ambulances, uniforming our police, everything!
So you missed the bit about it being devil's advocate and such, interesting.
You may have also missed that paving our roads, building our courthouses and uniforming our police our not crucial tasks in servicing a community. Somewhat important in a voter way, but less than important in a real way. Bad roads, inadequate courthouse shacks and old uniforms are not the stuff of a crumbling government. On the other hand ambulances are very important and hence are usually contracted out to several companies within a municipality in order to spread the pain. Often contracted by the various hospitals and only licensed by the appropriate government agency. But then again that would be beneficent govt intrusion into civilian life, both by increasing customer service and ensuring that the private agencies have the necessary training, certification and infrastructure to handle public emergencies.
Please tell me, I mean whatthe? Dear sweet humanity, tell me that there isn't a single company with its hand monetarily so far up the govt's anus that they insinuate themselves at such crucial levels. This is some kind of joke, right? Have they slithered into the US system much? The level of profiteering on tax-payer dollars and the inherent feedback loop of control is staggering.
Except that the development goes on despite the leaches. And for every 10th leach an admin with a modicum of development skills contracts an itch, and the result is the other 25% of development on the kernel. And that is despite the 75% of the kernel bought, paid for, and completely reusable and changeable for other organizations to suit their needs.
And the code that was rejected along the way as being too proprietary. Put some faith in the leadership of the kernel, man. This isn't exactly a money lead democracy.
Interesting point. For a mere dollar bet, although the chances are far against you, you could do nothing but what you want for the rest of your life. Quite the payoff for such little risk.
For the price a frecking candy bar there is a very small chance that you may never have to deal with the boss and boss's boss, etc. again. That alone for a creative type is enough for the occasional chance despite the odds.
And even beyond that, let's assume I play once a month, random choice, 5 tickets. I've lost 60 dollars a year. Now let us be honest, what would that money have gone to? Probably frivolously spent, but even if it's invested doesn' t amount to much. For a pittance, I'm given a chance, no matter how small, that I could be set for life and chase my dreams. And frankly despite the fact that it is hard to place a dollar value on one's dreams, one does exist. And it is far more than 60 dollars a year.
So is it a fool's bet? By the odds, certainly. By the payoff vs. the minuscule payin, not really.
I was about to complain about the idiocy of your statement considering the constant press of new hardware and capabilities, but then again I was outdone by idiocy and irony (see above comment.)
Bad documentation is not an excuse for bad implementation. Testing and QA is the only way to find bugs like this and it should have been obvious that Direct X had such problems shortly after the first developer stumbled upon it. Unfortunately, it was closed source and such shortcomings were not disclosed. Hmm, I wonder where the blame lies?
Not at all. Red-eye removal shifts the red towards green, counteracting the red and darkening the pupil.
The Burn tool would only shade it, and dark red eyes aren't much of an improvement on bright red eyes.
Really? Do you go to cons and socialize at all? Not the treky-nerd for-profit con, a real honest-to-goodness convention put on by volunteers within your area. Volunteer to do small jobs around the con and then volunteer to help run the con. You'll meet a lot of nice and often attractive young women that way, and it's a lot of fun.
But it's got a long funny-sounding name. The name alone will destroy you're liver.
And it's all a conspiracy to get you to eat more and become fat and sedentary so that you eat more. Don't you get it? It has a scary sounding name!
Outside of political science textbooks, the term is so broad of meaning as to be useless, and your right-wing rant on liberal meaning "love government programs and regulation ("tax and spend" and "big government")" proves it. Liberal, simply put, is the opposite of conservative. A person with liberal views is more likely to embrace a change. A conservative on the other hand, by definition, is someone who prefers things to stay as they are, or even pines for a "simpler" time in the past.
In common usage the term liberal has a wide degree of latitude in its definition depending who is using it and where. It usually denotes someone who is a hippie or is in favor of social justice programs and is in favor of taxing the rich and big business.
Wetter, yes. More evaporation at higher temperatures.
But wetter where?
And since more evaporation everywhere. Where dryer?
Global warming is a big freaking question mark, except for the warming, and even that isn't writ in stone. Which is warming planet until what? Tropic like temps in Michigan? Or some global tipping point pushing us into an ice age.
