To be fair, their lack of flying ability has a good bit to do with how they are raised, along with the ability being breed out of them.
I've raised a large number of ducks as well as chickens. The ducks had a similar limited ability of flight. Why? They were only a few generations from wild ducks...
Well, they (like the chickens) were vastly overfeed compared to their wild counterparts. They were essentially too obese to fly.
Also, they were kept couped up for much of their growing years, and never got a chance/need to properly exercise and build up the chest and wing muscles like they would have in a wild environment.
A domesticated chicken would have a lot better flight ability than you think if they were raised in wild conditions.
I never stated that the South is not racist. I am arguing against the unfair assumptions made about me on behalf of the actions of others.
Nowhere did I say that you were a racist. It's just my experience that there are more racists in the south than in most of the north/east/west. I also think a lot higher percentage of folks in Canada play hockey than in the US. Does that mean every Canadian plays hockey? No. It just means you are probably more likely to run into a hockey player in Toronto than in the Florida Keys.
Where do you get off with this arrogant and omniscient tone? You speak as if you've personally interviewed everyone in the Atlanta area, not to mention Lousiana and Alabama.
I could very well say the same about you. If you'll notice, I say I've been to those areas many times, and gee, I'm probably talking about personal experience (just as you are, claiming it's not that way). Nowhere did I say everyone in the south was a racist/redneck, etc. There are many very intelligent, sophisticated, etc, folks who live in the south. I've simply encountered far more of the other types down there than in other parts of the country.
Perhaps venture out of your 99.9% lily-white enclaves and tell me if people's true colors (pun intended) start showing.
A bad assumption on your part. My neighborhood is maybe 25% white. I suppose no one that lives in a multicultural area could possibly think the south had a lot of rednecks/racists in it.... right.
Having been to the deep south many times over many years...
1) Not everyone is, but there are plenty that are (racist, inbred, uneducated, violent, redneck, and unsophisticated) enough, that it definitely justifies the stereotype.
2) There are, but they are generally more isolated pockets, rather than a broad swath of the country.
Atlanta is one of the prime examples cited by southerners when they say the south isn't racist. I'll give you that some of the Atlanta area (with exceptions in that complexity) is generally not as bad as the rest of the south. Wanna talk about Louisiana, Bama, etc???
You aren't kidding. Being from around Cleveland, every time I've gone to Cinncinati I've been struck by how it seemed like it was part of the deep south, rather than another city in the same northern state. The differences in racism/racial-tension is increadable.
They know. They just don't care. It's apparently easier to just tell the person your ID/password than to bother to call/email/send-the-person to the admin to get their own account. Laziness beats security procedures. What do they care if the network gets hacked?
Sorry, the 90 day expiration still has reasons to exist. Why? Because idiots give out there password to other people. I see it happen all the time, no matter how much I yell at folks not to do that. On any network I know, the admin will gladly give someone a temporary ID if they really do need one. But no, they give out their own info, and some contractor (like this one), or other random random person will still have access to your network months/years later when you've forgotten he was even in there.
Episode One is fun, but fairly short. I wish they'd come out with more episodes quickly, or some longer games ( Blue-Shift 2 ?). They've already got a great game engine. Anyone else wish they'd concentrate more on generating new content than adding new 'extra-shiny' bling for the new graphics cards out there?
Robocopy has nice features, but it's slow. I've started using HAS instead. It costs, but It's got more features, a nice GUI if you happen to like that, and most importantly, it's about 3x faster on my servers than Robocopy.
I've never seen a store camera that recorded audio. And I've seen the security setups for a number of different types of businesses. The companies making the security recording equipment sell it to companies in all states, so they make most models video only, so they don't have issues in states with these restrictive laws.
It's not the case in the USA. The grandparent is totally wrong. It varies state by state. Most states allow for recording as long as one party is aware. There are a number theat require both/all parties to be aware of the recording.
Sorry, but I've seen plenty of concrete in NE Ohio crack and disintegrate from the weather. The area goes through so many freeze-thaw cycles (often a couple times a day for months on end. Sometimes more than twice a day when they put on salt, etc, which thaws what's on the road until it gets more diluted again by more snow) that any road surface material will be destroyed if there are any surface imperfections. Water gets on there and during the next freeze, cracks the surface farther apart. Concrete gets cracked apart just like asphalt.
As it happens I also give every month to Concern Worldwide via direct debit and to put it bluntly, I would rather I was able to allocate my wealth to charities of my choosing rather than letting Gates do it for me....
And did you consult your customers, the one's who gave you your money, before you gave it to that charity? No? Hypocrite!
That said, I didn't actually read the article, as it were, so I may be wildly off-topic.
Don't worry. The only description of immaturity in the article was...
"People such as academics, teachers, scientists and many other professionals are often strikingly immature outside of their strictly specialist competence in the sense of being unpredictable, unbalanced in priorities, and tending to overreact."
No real examples. Just a wack at academics. Real insight there... An entirely worthless article to begin with.

Apple is in a great position to leapfrog them in the filesystem area. They hired Dominic Giampaolo, the designer of the file system for BeOS. "Practical File System Design with the Be File System".. That was a great database-like file system.
That's why I went to a local electronics junk/surplus store and got a large aluminum plate with fins (a heatsink off of something huge) about the size of the base of my laptop, and place it between my lap and my laptop. It's relatively thin aluminum, so it's not too heavy, and it keeps my nuts from roasting.
I've got to agree with the others posting here. I've known and worked with many MD's who were going to the military after finishing med school to help pay off those huge Med School bills. And this is from top-tier med schools (with top-tier med school bills). The military gets a lot of top-notch MD's right out of med school/internships. Some of them might like the military and decide to stay. By no means are all the military docs bottom of the barrel.
No. If you read the website you'll find a link to a pic of the MP. He's much thinner, and in fatigues. I think if he's still active duty, he's pretty much screwed himself over REAL good.:)

Hey moron, I think the word you are looking for is similar, not identical.

I wish I had mod points. I don't know if I agree with all your points, but that's a very intersting take on the subject.
