The earth moves. Go down and you have to support the sides of the excavated pit. Water pressure also builds the deeper you go. Here is a conundrum for you. Build a series of say 4 story building, fill the gap between the buildings with compacted fill, are those buildings no above or below ground level.
Want to save space the put your buildings over roads. Roads chew up a ton of space, local roads, major roads, inter-county roads and interstate roads.
So build major thoroughfares and in public transport say rail, build up the next level to provide local roads and local public transport. The add retail with foot traffic, then commercial on top of that and finally residential. So no major arterial roads, also become major linear multi-use buildings and the space between becomes parks and gardens. So a major road linking two major cities could accommodate millions without using any additional land area and put all those people housed in immediate proximity to public transport.
Wakey, wakey. Do you know what 100 IQ represents it is the average half of the population above and half of the population below. There are plenty of people that want to learn trades. The problem in the construction industry is boom and bust, and sub-contractors attempting to employ apprentices through those periods. Of course the more tradesmen the lower the wage, so why would tradesman train apprentices.
The big trainer of apprentices used to be government but then privatisation and contracting and sub-contracting everything out took over.
So plenty of people want to do it but the opportunities are no longer there. The really smart way to work out of that problem is to make the base military unit combat engineers (scrap useless infantry and marine units) who also pick up a trade as part of their training. You then also use them for all federal and state infrastructure projects, their wages are already paid and you only need to pay for materials. You also eliminate a lot of opportunities for major contracting fraud.
So there really is no problem. If closed minded impolite idiots want to leave classes, then ensure a substantive part of the mid of end of year exams is based upon the material they walk out on. They continue to pay to re-attend those classes until such time as they open their minds and learn some manners.
The real issue is what evidence will be deemed acceptable, what proof will be required of uploading content. Nothing automated, who monitored it, what content was uploaded content was downloaded (file names not good enough as no one has copyright on file names). The period over which that IP address was monitored with at least one independent witness (can't have for profit people who get paid per copyright infringement notification).
Problem is this 'creative industry' has a history of being creative with lies, as such any accusation should be corroborated by independent people to ensure validity.
Regardless of the lies and bullshit, the whole industry is still parasitic by nature, it neither feed, clothes, houses or heals. It is a luxury and it's impact upon the necessities of life always needs to be limited.
Yeah just put your money where your mouth is and charter a flight. The TSA is just for the nobodies the poor and the soon to be ex-middle class, getting you used to your new lifestyle where random strip searches for you and your family are the norm. Where even giving a dirty look to your betters, the rich and greedy, will earn you and your family extended discomfort and humiliation, with repeated strip searches and body probes in your own home.
Perhaps no one has noticed the glaring difference between public flights of the nobodies and private flights of the rich and greedy. You schmucks don't even realise how hot the water is becoming or how close to boiling it really is or how far the whole TSA bullshit thing has crossed the line.
Creepy is not the word for it 'Bullshit' is the word for it. The problem with the fantasy is the quality of the information in the database and the assumptions made in creating the links. It doesn't take long for the most innocent person to be linked with the most destructive activity, based upon how far those assumptions are stretched to create connection between records in the database.
Then of course there are gross errors in the database things like false revenge based accusations, for profit accusations, reduced sentence accusations, now add in simple clerical errors, typos, misspellings and then tie faulty recognition, poor human memory and then of course just stupid stuff like people with the same name or foreign intelligence agencies poisoning data on purpose.
Nett result, another billion dollar boondoggle on a dead end craptastic database. All works well with simulated data but in the real world, a world full of lies, trickery, deceit and of course laziness, it all just collapses. Of course a world full of 'Anonymous' types would just love to have fun poisoning that database with false data and ludicrous connections to accelerate the collapse.
Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, oh no. The most important lesson to learn it is often better to focus on methods of saving money rather than making money. Whilst their is no profit in saving money just remember how profitable wars can be but how much they end up costing. Apparently an unprofitable historical lesson that psychopaths manage to make the public forget over and over and over again.
It has nothing to do with letting staff play with what ever software they want to. It has everything to do with human psychology. The only time the rest of the staff normally deal with the IT department is when they have a problem. To them the 'IT staff = the computer', so the computer hangs and eats all the work = it's the IT staffs fault. That frustration whilst there sit blocked and baulked by that piece of plastic and shiny glass as it insolently sits their and ignores them, passively absorbing the stream of insults, keyboard thumping and, screen bashing, just mocking them with inaction, whilst they wait to find out how much work they have lost.
So all that frustration needs to be targeted at someone who will react , someone who can be blamed or the choices made in hardware and software. Of course phone only tech support leaves the user still hanging, frustrated and annoyed, never really satisfied, with the oft repeated answer, switch it off and switch it on etc. etc..
Honestly want happier staff and better tech support, simply get tech support to leave their cubicle and meet with the end user personally and discuss their problem one on one and provide the solution to fix it. It's about people, not about machines, what support staff to function better, than they simply need to be personally supportive, they need to reassure the end user that they count, the need to assure the end user that their work matters and, provide that personal human bridge between the end user and the completely insensitive piece of electronics.
Technically speaking treating the King of Thailand as separate and above the rest of the population and all other people on the planet is the ultimate act of racism. A breed apart superior to all the rest of humanity, let's be honest the only idiots who run around with that attitude are psychopaths and narcissists. Of course generally it is only the psychopaths that try to punish a whole world of people who disagree with that principle. So it would seem the Thai ignoble royal family are psychopathic ass hats to the core and yeah for the subject heading.
Actually the dishonourable senator wants to tag all terrorist suspects, you know that list of names on the watch list tens of thousands of them, they are all terrorist suspects. That list includes peace protesters, environmentalists, unionists, pretty much anybody else that protests against government corruption and especially those that don't continue to support Jewish Palestinians theft of land from Muslim Palestinians.
The only real terrorist actions going on at the moment is Israeli terrorism of the US treasury via corrupted politicians, giving them money and fighting their religious wars, what a bunch of schmucks.
Somehow I don't think Australians suffer from an overpopulation problem. In fact they have a strictly managed immigration policy to keep population numbers up.
This is simply about taking steps to 'save money' in a country that provides universal health care. Across the board immunisation is a lot cheaper than paying the medical costs for those that get infected whether they be rich or poor. In Australia private health insurance just supplements universal health care, giving access to private hospitals, often just wards of major public hospitals (you pay extra to get quicker non-emergency treatment, all emergency treatment is still done at public hospitals because they have the facilities and can access private and public doctors often one in the same).
So the Australia government takes makes steps to save medical expenditures including early screening promotion, health safety promotion and the PBS scheme http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/provider/pbs/index.jsp (the government puts a lot of effort to ensure drugs are economical because Australians pay one low subsidised price for all prescriptions covered by the scheme)
The biggest cost of new hard drives, will be rebuilding the hard disk drive plants in regions, with stable weather, low tectonic incidence and politically stable. That the hard disk drive plants were built in flood prone locations means that a group of people need a good butt kicking. Brings to mind things like saved pennies to spend pounds and stupid is as stupid does.
Steam can be a pretty rough, uncoordinated anti-customer service at time. It is by no means even close to a perfect service. What really makes it work is super cheap bundle specials.
The reason some games have a far higher piracy rate than other games, easy, pirates try every game that comes out and the 'majority' of real buyers do not. There are just so, so, so many games out there that no one really has time to play them all, especially if you touch on free stuff like LOTRO http://www.lotro.com/, it can quickly chew up hundreds even thousands of gaming hours.
There is just so much choice out there, a bunch of games are basically getting used by nothing but pirates whilst the average consumer is putting there dollars into just a few select games or in the case of steam a few select gaming bundles (I bought one a few months back and still haven't finished some and haven't even started some others).
So game companies are now being forced by competition to be much more customer orientated, DLC, unless the game is free to start with 'bugger off', idiotic drm forget it and, no resale value get lost.
Of course you blame the private companies, they hired lobbyist as bagmen to pay off corrupt politicians who make the political appointments to ensure those corrupt criminal corporations get their 10 to 1 kick back. WTF, you should always pursue and convict the bribe payers they are the ones doing harm across a massive scale, many lobbyists, many corrupt politicians and many robot signing political appointees.
So you know who screams the loudest about government and how the people have no control and they might as well ignore it, those paying the bribes and profiting the most by it. Want to kill the waste, then stop bloody contracting and do everything in house, the opportunities for corruption shrink down to basically nepotistict employment opportunities, rather than billion dollar no bid contracts or tenders designed to be won by one company or cartel style bidding on government contracts.
As for safety, lets kick off with the typical private industry lie, but I didn't know it wasn't safe to force people to work until they drop from heat stroke, I didn't know the safe temperatures, if it was unsafe the government should have regulated, other workers stopped (the ones I fired) so it is the fault of the ones who continued to work. Now that is exactly how private industry and their lawyers work.
So the drive for privatisation and contract out all government task, as driven and controlled by lobbyists is working well for the US. One wonders how much it would have cost if done internally by full time employees with lobbyist interaction.
So is this government waste or typical corrupt private corporation manipulation of government spending ie the privatisation campaign dollar at work. So who drove the project, who employed that individual, were they a 'political' appointee.
You can't seem to grap it is all about perception, it is about the ability of some companies to affect market share of other companies, it is about using dominant market position to further extend market potential and it is about overall product range.
So M$ is in a weak and dangerous legal position. It was fairly easy for a competitor to prove harm over and extended time and, obviously if they are losing market share it provides a quick dirty means by which to recover lost profits and to further tarnish M$'s reputation.
That whole thought of working extra hours for free is weird. I was always careful to manage my time, if I worked extra hours I felt I was failing in allocating my work time or not being productive enough. If it was obvious that it was excessive then I simply stated it as such and sought the excess to be shifted to additional staff. Either you are a professional and manage yourself as such or you fail.
Reality is working those extra hours continually in a professional status, just kills your productivity and reduces the quality of your work. It is absolutely pointless. You spent so much time 'fixing stuff', because of idiotic company practices. You ever heard about the woodsman who was so busy cutting down trees he never had time to stop and sharpen his axe, doing less often means doing much more.
The big problem is not security, the big problem here is marketing. Windows OS with build in anti-virus is a rock solid marketing platform for targeting your competitors and for extorting a fee from other companies.
For your typical consumer, how do you think they react when they attempt to install a program and all of a sudden the computers hits them with a virus warning prevents the program from installing.
The operating system anti virus (competitors progamrs being a virus on the operating systems company profits), can attack the program again and again and again, at program upgrades, at os upgrades, at configuration changes etc. etc. So how will the use react, how will it alter their software purchasing habits.
Should M$ be subject to fiscal penalties every time it falsely rejects a program, the obvious answer is yes when they control the operating system.
It is if just one document demonstrates evidence of criminal malfeasance that was being ignored. Apparently there were many more documents that demonstrated criminality and collusions to hide and commit more crimes.
That the administration that purposefully hid existing and ongoing crimes was all to self evident. What is even worse is after the legitimate release of those documents and the evidence of criminal activity they disclose, virtually nothing has been done to prosecute those individuals breaking laws.
The person who released those documents is entitled to make claim that they were adhering to the principle of law and the requirements of their oath to ensure justice was pursued. No one is ever a slave to the criminality of the temporary supervisor, every individual is always bound by their own sense of justice and morality.
Also it is abundantly clear in this case that the US military did purposefully and wilfully deny Bradley Manning his rights as a citizen, did knowingly and with intent physically and mentally abuse him in order to criminally extend the case against others and made only token attempts to adhere to the law months after the arrest and detention of Bradley Manning during which time they attempted to manufacture a case. Based apparently on the unsubstantiated betrayal of "Wired Magazine" whose focus was on profits not justice and Adrian Lamo and known criminal employed by "Wired Magazine" for dubious reasons.
So was Wired Magazine involved in a for profit attempt at entrapment. Did Adrian Lamo himself actual conspire to obtain and release the records (already having a record for criminal computer hacking. Did "Wired Magazine" and Adrian Lamo conspire to shift the charges from themselves to Brian Manning. So was Wired Magazine the betrayer of the worst order or did they collude in criminal activity and then seek to shift the blame to a pasty, either way "Wired" sucks ass' let them know what you think of them http://www.wired.com/about/feedback/.
No, it is copying not stealing. When you steal something you deny the other person use of it. When you copy something the other person still get's to use their copy. Copying is setting content free, if it really is 'actually' worth while you might get something back, if it sucks you get bupkis. If your concerned sell real stuff, like food, clothing, housing, medicines all stuff people really need and of course the world will celebrate if you can readily make copies.
Well here is a Linux solution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN4c61ETCWg. If you are patient there is also http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/820. So it would seem there is a whole world of choice shortly to be available for Android phones. So you start with Android but if you want to explore other options in the future that option seems readily available.
The catch is, Australia is loser pays. Which means in this kind of extortions game, lose just one case and everyone else will use that exact same defence and you lose every case. Those losses of course means you pay for your lawyer, their lawyer and court costs ie judge et al. Then it is also possible to file counter suit for psychological harm brought about by that attack in the courts, so really really dangerous game bound to blow up in the faces of the criminals who attempt it.
Sounds all like to much of a hassle when you get thumbnail size storage that holds gigabytes and is so easy to hide or even swallow, why bother. Just how many secrets do you guys have or is it just paranoid much. Don't forget you just want to keep private your data not your applications.
