I suppose you can take it as confirmation of other research that American production is flat. Meaning that there isn't a lot of geographic variation (except in agriculture) in what people do in different states.
But then, even at the end of his post, Krugman concedes that there's not much point to the analysis.
It's worth noting that Richard actions constitute libel in the U.K. I donno if her accusation of the forking remark constitute libel in the U.S., perhaps given that it's false. I'd assume that her accusation of the dongles remark does not constitute libel in the U.S., being true.
I'm pretty sure that looking at somebody funny constitutes defamation in the U.K. some way or another. I wouldn't use British defamation laws as an analog for any reasonable country.
Lobbying an MP in Canada is nowhere near as useful as lobbying one in the US. If an MP defies the party line in a vote of any consequence it becomes a major scandal. So, unless you make that cheque out to a certain Mr. Harper you're wasting your money.
Just in case that was a serious comment:
Pucks are rarely used by kids outside organized leagues, because they only really work on smooth ice surfaces. Unfortunately, ice time is expensive and hard to come by.
Street Hockey (or ball hockey) is generally played with tennis balls or hard orange hockey balls. These would fall under the ban. However, in my experience, you'd have a harder time getting the sticks into the school, so it's kind of a moot point.
While the overuse and subsequent devaluation of the term "engineer" is deplorable, boiler operators (stationary/power engineers), locomotive operators and marine power plant operators (marine engineers) were here first and have every right to their traditional nomenclature.
I am not American. There is no mention of the US in the question. How did this thread become all about the American system? Where I'm from, and in most non-american western countries the term engineer is strickly regulated. Engineers have legal authorities and obligations and it takes a lot of hard work to earn your license.
1) If you don't have a degree, there's no way you are an engineer in any sense of the word. Engineer actually means something. Don't drag us down to your level.
2) If you don't think further education in English, etc... would be useful to an engineer in his job you have absolutely no idea what an engineer does.
I find it odd that the film with the most nominations didn't make it into the summary, but a couple of kids movies did. Does Taco think/. readers are a bunch of kids just because we live in our parents' basements?
I don't have any problem with this but I hope the simulation is realistic i.e as Taliban I want to be able to stone teenage girls to death, bury homosexuals alive, dynamite priceless historic monuments and beat people for listening to music. Are those options available?
Don't forget having carnal relations with a donkey (don't worry it's not the video). That'll show those hot coffee guys how it's done.
Anyways, Taliban are bad, but they're not worse than Nazis, at least not in my book. If people are ok playing Nazis then the point is moot.
I can't say I know much about how they fare internationally, but I do believe Australia has a pretty strong wargaming community, so I'm a bit surprised you're having trouble. Did you look at Irresistible Force?
As someone who's played GW games in the past I can tell you that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Over the past year they've been sending C&Ds to lots of the tabletop fan sites. Lots of gamers have been moving towards Privateer Press who's attitude towards their customers compares like night and day to GW.
Securitizing the mortgages alone is not evil. The problem was that those bundles had been valued based on model built using historical data. When a lot of banks started buying up mortgages to put in these bundles the guys arranging the mortgages significantly changed their behaviour in order to get more. That change in behaviour (salesmen becoming writing much more shakey mortgages) invalidated the model used to value them, so the banks bought stuff for a lot more than it was worth, leading to the credit crisis.
You can call people evil, greedy and stupid all you want, but that's not going to get your money back and it won't prevent it happening again. The key problem here is that the banks broke the First Rule of Engineering, they trusted a computer model and thus failed to scrutinize their purchases properly. The government allowed them to make these purchases without proper due dilligence, the salesmen sold mortgages they knew would likely end up in default and the families took out mortgages without a plan to pay it off.
If you think those lapses are greedy, evil and stupid, then fine. However, the morale of this whole credit crisis and subsequent recession should be: If it's important, hire an engineer to do it.

But then it becomes contemporary, not historical.
Everybody living in the 21st century should.
So how many bitcoins are we stealing from Newfoundland each day then?

"Online TV giant Netflix was closed captions unauthorized use of his pants down..."
I predict "unauthorized use of his pants down" to be the new "not want".

Qualifying Krugman as a "prominent Keynesian economist" is like calling Stephen Hawking a "prominent Einsteinian physicist". I call shenanigans.

Develop a better game... One that will sell. Sony benefits when games on their system sell well, I doubt they turn down many viable titles.
Where on earth were you actually able to drive 220kph, let alone 250, for any extended period? By "UK roads" do you mean some kind of oval track?
If traffic was that slow I would turn of the engine, put her in neutral and push.

Unless those twenty random characters are on a post-it note somewhere since they're very difficult to remember.
Wrong Herod. You want his father. Not a nice man...
My ninth grade science teacher used to tell us "All error is human error." He was right too.
I think it's the other way around. We like zombies because we all want to be Ash.
I thought vampires were about homo-eroticism...
