IF MIT DID treat all their students alike, they would have excepted this. To work on A LOT of government contracts you have to have security checks done--whether or not you are an American! The fact appears to be that MIT wants to treat it's foriegn students special. Everyone who works on Government contracts gets screened for security reasons. That's the way it has been for a while. In jobs for DOD, it's advertised that a security check is required.
The only thing that this proves is that MIT has preferential treament for the Foriegn students over American students.
There was NOTHING wrong with what the Government did. The UNITED STATES Government has a right to take care of it's own citizens first. MIT should be ashamed of itself for turning away Americans from the position it gave foriegn students! This has nothing to do with personal freedom. The US Government is funding the money, and they have a right to decide who works on it. If MIT doesn't like it, then they will lose MONEY and grants. They will change their tune when they start losing a lot of research money!
I think the Government should make a law prohibiting Colleges and Universities from taking any foriegn students when there are American students who want the education--especially when financial aid is concerned! They need to be putting Americans first--not the other way around.
It's a sad day when MIT doesn't have enough American students to do research. MIT should be ashamed of itself that they turn down Americans and take foriegn students, who leave the US, to be educated ahead of American students!!!!
This new law won't hold up. The Gun makers will sue the state or ignore it. What about people who might share a gun? It will now only work for one person. The idea that controling guns will stop gun violence is stupid. Some posted earlier that the UK doesn't allow guns but their crime has increased, and areas in the US where cun can be carried (and especially concealed) people tend not to piss other people off because you never know who's packing!
I don't have too much of a problem with spam...unless I don't check it for a week, and then I only have may 50 tops (in a week). Some of that may be my ISP though. One good thing about AOL (hey, I get it for free which is helpful when you're unemployed) is they HATE spam, and I have turned off their pop-ups. The result is I don't get much spam.
I have two email accounts. One is my public email that is what I use to when signing up for things (and the email most people get). I only give out my other email to people I can really to trust not to put me on a list--the same went for my work email address.
This is just plain bullshit! Second hand stores are a great place to buy CDs. The RIAA people got their money from the first sale. IANAL, but I think the law only gaurentees the get paid for it once. I remember reading about it somewhere.
If they suceed with this, then who will they sue next? I know the poor people down the street having a yard sale--if they have a CD!!!!!
I am SO SICK OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RIPPPING US OFF. This is getting to be annoying? Can we sign the RIAA execs up to get truck loads of spam (email and snail mail)? It would seem fitting for all the problems they are causing us.
I doubt it will happen this way. Not everyone is as stupid as you are claiming them to be. Most of these people will realise that they could be next if they even have 1 streamed file (such as, but not limited to, a church that has mp3 of the sermons to listen to on the net). These people won't stand side-by-side with the porn industry, but they will not support Acacia either. They'll probably wait it out
Microsoft already owns stock/shares in Borland, and they liscence technology from Borland. If they do buy Borland, if would be to get of the the money they pay Borland to use Borland technology. They never said what technology Microsoft was liscencing, but I think it might be the compiling down to one language because Borland was doing that years before with Delphi & C++ Builder. I really hope Borland doesn't buy either one. I don't mind Rational being bought by IBM, but I would mind if they were bought by Microsoft.
Maybe we should give him the mad wife package as a gift:
1 set of earplugs when the man's hearing fails (hint in one ear out the other) 1 set of ear muffs to aide the ear plugs 1 foam pillow that never needs to be fluffed and remains comfortable all night. 1 extra thick blanket for those long cold nights on the couch in a dark wet basement. 1 years supply of free flowers in case of emergency for the times spent programming at the office late at night. 1 box of...well you can figure out the rest.
You forgot to mention that series 5 is currently playing on various channels. It's playing on Fox in the Metro Boston, MA area (NH/MA) Saturdays at 5pm (unfortunately running opposite Andromeda) and Sundays at 11AM unless it gets bumped for Patriots pregame show. Its only happened once so far.
Let's get one thingf straight. I generally hate Unions, but times change.
Did you know that there is a whole other level of benifits and bonuses for execs? There is, and it's at the expense of the employees. In one of the hospitals in my hometown, Execs are having half of their new expensive cars paid for by the hospital while the normal people are scraping by with little pay, and that's not the end of it.
I got laid off in July (along with 3 other people for a total of 4 people), and all they told me was that it was not performance related. I ended up finding out in September when I got the annual report (I still own worthless stock in the company) I found out that the four top execs got $32,000+ bonuses and the new CEO got a $30,000+ raise. All this occur in one year, and the company was supposed to be tightening it's belt. No raises in a couple of years, and no bonuses in a few years for the average person.
Our jobs are being replaced by out of country people that companies bring in because they can pay them less. A lot of this can be prevented with unions. I think we need to Unionize both the IT departments and software engineers. We need to stop these abuses!!!!
I like to look at it another way. What if you were called a thief for not buying a hotdog from a hotdog vendor ont he street? The only difference is one is in real life the other is online, but it's the same thing. (Or for New Yorkers in downtown, how would you like to be accused of being a thief for not buying from the Bagel vendors? Companies like Anti-leech, MPAA, and RIAA make me sick.
It's not just overweight people. I used to hang out in the stairway after hours (co-ed dorm but you "couldn't" be on the floor of the opposite sex after hours) to talk my girlfriend while in college. I could always tell who was coming because the echo vibrations in the stairway were always distinct enough. Just about everyone I knew in college could do it. I would probably lable this study under "DUH" because any college student whose been to college proably noticed this effect. I think they are doing too much work. You just need something that vibrates when walked apon and something sensitive enough to record, and play back, the vibrations.
Technically, in the show Daniel isn't dead because he appears in season six (after he suposed death). He's ascended to a higher level--the same level as the powerful alien that taught meditation and took the child. I don't remember enough of the two previous episodes that talk about the child and the ascended alien, but in the one centering around the child, Daniel gets power hungry with a new weapon which the child told him how to build.
I am currently watching the fifth series (in sindication(sp?) (during/after watching the sixth season), but I still look forward to the seventh series.
I am glad Sci-Fi has been rerunning the entire series from the beginning on Monday nights. I have recorded everyone so far, and I have seen a couple episodes I missed because of sports events. It's been great catching up on old story line details.
Actually, I believe it was Duct tape which is different than electrical tape. Duct tape has somethign like a million uses while electrical tape is not quite a useful.
You could also build a portfolios of projects with code samples, design details, explanations, etc. Keep it in a binder, and on your resume or cover letter, list that you have a portfolio available for review during an interview of past projects. You can list them in order of complexity or subject.
I freshened up my resume for the same reason. Now I get to send it to companies and watch it disappear into a blackhole becuase of the employers saying stuff like "no phone calls".
It may not be a mater of dumb enough, but rather be a mater of money. Like someone getting the service free through a family member or a friend? If it's free to you, then I don't think you'd care.
Yup, I would have to agree with you on that. Having been recently laid off myself, my company did the same thing by requiring me to sign an agreement to get my package. Both times I have been laid off I had to agree to not sue the company. They're just covering their coporate butts. IANAL, but I don't think it would hold up in an American court if it was a serious offense you were sueing about.
Who cares what they think. Since when have we cared? They just haven't learned from history that technology is rarely held back back anybody when the consumers want it. Besides, they should spend more time on coming up with better plots for movies.
Did anyone else notice that the skull of that skeleton was A LOT whiter than the rest of the skeleton? Did that seem odd? I wondwer if there wasn't one in there when they first opened it up (off camera) and they planted the skull so he could say that line.
I wished the open up the chamber between the the two paws on the Sphinx--even if it's just a pin whole with a fiber cable and camera setup to look in it.
There is a petition going around to have the management of Sci-Fi channel removed because of the mass appearences of non-sci-fi shows, movies, and the cancelation of some of the older classics. The petition can be found here. I think everybody should sign this. Maybe we can get someone who knows something about sci-fi in charge!!!
Why? Because it sucked really bad. It REALLY SUCKED! I stopped watch sometime in the second season.
I think they are going to promote Stargate SG-1. I can't wait for January when the next season begins. I also can't wait till thwey start play the original series from the beginning. From the website, "Starting Sept. 30, missions codenamed SEASONS ONE through FIVE will be available for review every Monday from 7-11PM ET/PT on SCI FI". Plus, 2 episodes from series 6 every friday night. I liked series six--even with the death of Daniel.
I can't wait!!!! I think I need to stock up on the VHS tapes--time to make a run to the local AMES which is going out of buiseness!

That's exactly the point. 90% of graduate students should be Americans not 50/50!!!!!!!!

Or hang the doll. Or next time you you need a break, get a bunch of them and go bowling.
