Yes.. this. And we can mandate all donations to anything be made public so we can go on another wich hunt and run someone out of a job when they donate to something we don't like. That way every one will think like us- at least in public they will. Snd thats all that matters right?
Its actually a simple fix if their carier actually cared. A custom PRL for those customers could keep them off AT&T towers in that area.
A PRL is a prefered roaming list and the phone uses it to have your phone connect to the cheapest signal for them when their tower is not availible or full. You can find tools that may allow you to edit one and instal it yourself. I've done it when a storm made the closest tower to my home unreliable so i made it connect to the next closest one. But i was using an outdated rooted boost mobile phone so i don't know if you need root to do it yourself or not or if any phone will work.
Back in the 1990s, i was making $12-14 an hour rolling buritos for a restaurant chain. My wages changed if i went to a different store which is why there is a wage wiindow. Minimum wage went from 3.35 to around 5.25 or so. I only worked at minimum wage once and that was because it increased before i recieved raises.
Anyways, that was only possible because unemployment was low. We hired in kids with no work experience at $1-1.50 an hour above minimum wage just to get people in the door. With raises every 6 months, if you actually put some effort into the job, you could increase that in no time. Skilled people were hired in at even more.
The answer is not raising a minimum wage but lowering unemployment. That was the key to Clinton's "its the economy stupid". Anyone who wanted a job could get one and in most places, they could get one that paid somewhat better than minimum wage.
Minimum wage is not supposed yo be a living wage. It is not supposed to be a career goal. It is supposed to be a minimum for people with no work history so they can prove thenselves. It is a sad sign when our economy and people in it have resigned themselves to accepting the minimum and are relying on the state in order to better their careers. The answer is to lower unemployment. The people will go to whomever is paying the most and companies will have to pay more on their own out of profits in order to get and keep people. Prices don't jump either because they need to stay competitive with other companies.
This really is the problem here. We pay for service and Netflix pays for service. The internet is a system of interconnected networks we each can access for whatever reasons we choose.
If Comcast is slowing bandwidth for certain providers based on the condition of payment from third parties, they are cheating their customers who paid for certain speeds. And no, the "up to" argument doesn't hold water because at no time can the up to be above what they limited the speeds to when they are purposely limiting it. If the network gets congested and slows, they aren't purposely limiting the speeds so it could theoretically be faster up to the limit purchased. It just cannot be up to a limit when it is purposely and intentionally slowed down.
Now, if comcast needs more money in order to provide it's network speeds and maintain it, then it needs to negotiate proper payment from it's customers and peering partners. those peering partners then pass that cost off to their customers. It really is that simple. What Comcast is trying to do is make Netflix and any other successful company that used the internet their customer by default without providing any of the access on the other provider side because Comcast's existing customers might want to access those companies.
First, verizon actually is deveral businesses in one. The internet portion is and has been considered an information service while telecommunications portion is regulated. The problem arises when those portions of the businessvare not separate from each other. The internet should be spun off into a subsidiary that leases access to the infrastructure to make it clear. Of course that would lead to others getting lessvrestricted access and cause competition.
It is the same problem with cable internet. Thecuse the regulated portion to build out infrastructure then ride the internet on top of it. It they were forced to separate and lease this out, there would be more competition for the internet all the way around.
But looking at verizon or comcast as one entity with obe type of product isn't accurate. The separation just needs to be more separated.
One of the problems with additions is similar to these trailers.
As demographics shift, you might need more room for 3-5 years then it could be too much space then need it again a decaid later. What ends up happening is that maintinence costs stay the same but the money comming in changes with the number of students and more gets allocated to yhe infrastructure instead of teaching.
Of course this could be aleviated if infrastucture costs came from a separate funding source or they could lease out the unused portions.
Its not really vacations and stuff, it is trust and poor stewardship.
An example, about two decades ago the local schools asked for a levy citing infrastructure nerds and specifically the hvac system at one middle school. About two years later, they put a bond issue on the ballot for a new hvac system. Some people asked questions and found that 90% of the levy went to administration salaries and benifits and the bond was actually tied to fixing the out dated hvac at ths school. Now schools in my area get a lot of fubding from property taxes so as property values increase, minus a bit of lag in the assesment, their funding increases. But they put another levy on the ballot a few years ago and the prople overwhelmingly rejected it. This happened for about 10 years strait then one of the directors retired and was replaced. The levy finally passed- it appeared that the money was going to the schools.But what they did was primarily soak teacher salaries which i don't have too much a problem with but the gave them raises highr than what the levy would cover. So they picked a school snd dropped most of the maintinence on it. In about 10 years, the parents started complaining about the school. The board put yet another levy on the ballot claiming the school wasn't fit so the needed to expand other schools. They even got kids to hold signs saying "kids matter" just down from all the polling offices. The levy passed and to date, it has been the last one
What they did with the nw levy was repair the condemmed school and make offices there that still arent used with a good portion being turned into a rec center for district teachers. It turns out that because of demographics shifts, the school easily fit into the other 5 elementary schools and money wasn't really needed.
Now of course when you ask ceertain people, they will paint that all rosie with built in excuses but it is factually correct. This also happened in a disrict right next to another that got busted altering NCLBA or ACES test scores in order to get federal money and the administrator had to be removed because she refused to step down even after federal charges where filed against her.
No, it isn't always about you spending yoyr money, it is also trusting that your money is needed and being spent properly on the kids.property values go up, funding does too.
I know plenty of people with walls full of degrees and diplomas who aren't very smart outside of that. You brought law and i remember trying to help a lawyer find pictures on his computer. My boss kept telling him to go to my computer and he kept fighting it. Finally after explaining the we weren't going to help him if he didn't follow directions, he replied "well, ok. So where is your computer at".
All you have to do is a google search for biden on foreign policy and you will see how i quantify that. Sure, biden may be able to recite a peom of cite a specific law, but when he does stupid stuff like confuses robbert gates with bill gates, you have to wonder if he isn't a few fries short of a happy meal.
There was nothing stupid or baiting about the comment. It was specifically meant to illistrate the contrast from what we had to reality. Just do a google search for Biden wrong on foreign policy and you will find many in depth discusions on the topic complete with examples.
Palin quiting happened after the timeframe i spoke about. The race was over and Obama was already elected by that time. I'm not sure why you even brought it up in this context. I don't disagree with the context, just the time span to what was being discussed.
While i don't nessecarily disagree with your premise for the root cause, i do disagree with deserving it.
No civilians took part in that. Innocent civilians were deliberately targeted in retribution. The citizens or people as they weren't all Americans, had no say in the policy leading up to 9/11 with a portion of the victims not even born when it took place.
I don't see any legitimate reason to specifically target civilians. If there had been a military value, i might be pursuaded. But there wasn't and those behind 9/11 where cowards who didn't think we would come after them
I'm not sure why you bring race up. But how Obama got elected was a fragmented right. Look at the candidates and the campains they ran. McCain picked Palin who is probably smarter than Biden but was made to look a fool even when she was right ( Russia). But their entire campain strategy was to claim they were maverics, you never knew what they would do. Doesn't hardly energize the base or even sympathetic voters when the message is we will do whatever. Then you had Romney who was a mormon- something the fundementalist see as a cult branch of their religion. But lets not forget that no matter how many pick up trucks he bought to show he was just as common as everyone else, he had democrat plants recording and releasing comments that show otherwise like the 47% one.
I just don't think Hillary will run. She will likely support someone else and get them elected and pull strings from behind the sscenes.
Irc, the criticism was more about the training camps being deserted and one target being an aspirin factory in which the government of sudan demanded an appology for. Only one person was confirmed killed- a canadian- and estimates think up to six people died in the bombings.
Sure, some people latched onto the tail that wagged the dog due to the closeness of these operations and Clinton's woes in the paula jones case bur the majority of criticism i can remember was about the innefectivness of them. It should also be noted that the movie about the same subject just came out so it was popular to compare scenarios to it.
But as for 9/11, it can be said that if the strikes weren't so impotent, 9/11 wouldn't have happened either. The blame game is an easy one to play here.
You may be correct but i suspect it might be more to do with her making an entry into politics. The key for me was the using state surpluses bit. The president cannot tell the states what to do with its money but a governor or state politician has a lot of direct influence.
Hillary, for what it is worth, likely will not be running for president. There are too many negetives about her that would fire up the republican base and unit branch groups who typically vote third party or claim to anyway, more than any candidate running against her could.
It would be more useless without the ability to override it.
Suppose your autonomous vehicle has a sensor go bad unexpectedly. It pulls over and shuts down safely but will not continue to its destination. Now you are stuck in the middle of no where or a busy highway possibly without cell service. Do you sit there waiting on help to arive at a premium, take off walking, or become the sensor yourself and drive away manually?
Nonsense. We know GPS and other technologies can be disrupted by stray radio transmission. It doesn't outright jam it but can cause the reciever to read the wrong location. You only need to be off by two or three feet to make a sunday drive your last drive ever. We know failed software updates have taken the traffic control systems down at major airports. We know that something as simple as scotch tape over sensors can shut down entire production lines at factories.
Road debre, another car's sensors breaking and emitting the wrong signal or interfering with the right ones, and a number of other things would make being able to override the automation desirable if not neccesary.
Do we have passenger jets that the pilots cannot override the autopilot?
I mean that is the real comparison here. If anyone can override the automated systems, then that person or some person needs to be qualified and present during the operation.
Before we go completely autonomous with cars, it should be safe to have autonomous lawnmowers. If the thought of a machine with spinning blades roaming around by itself doesn't sit well, cars without the ability to override yhe autopilot shouldn't either.
Anyways, i agree and have set up CC payment systems specifically like that. Except one system failed using a proxy so i had to lock the routers into the specific IP address of the processor and forbid http traffic because the suit kept defaulting to it with every update and transmitting in plain text.
Needless to say, i had a long talk with one of their developers and CEO and the company i was working for eventually switched packages altogether.
Of course I would make a poor engineer, I'm not even qualified to do the job. All that other rubbish you speak about is meaningless on me and knowing the imbeciles I come into contact with regularly, I would say it is meaningless in practice throughout most businesses.
No, my lack of qualifications is why I am barred from working in software firms on software projects. And I will almost bet that any company you are working for would reject you for showing up in less than appropriate clothing speaking less than appropriately. Yes, cussing in most all states, certainly those with lots of software engineering opportunities, is considered creating a hostile work place which lets someone quit and draw unemployment for that reason. Almost all HR departments will weed you out as soon as they are aware of it. Well, unless you are in your own firm or one of those start ups who will be purchased for peanuts, have their IP raided, and shipped off to India as a side project for one of their understaffed teams.
There are probably reasons but it will not be as obvious as that. Some of these countries have real reasons to be depressed or suffer anxiety disorders and yet score low in a survey by the WHO. Japan for instance has numbers so low the research said it is unbelievable and it is highly capitalist.
You would think there would be something they could add to it that would repel this taste or something. I mean I used to put cayenne pepper dust in my bird feeders to discourage squirrels and other rodents (birds can't taste it). Now I have a squirrel proof feeder but don't feed as much as I used to (just late in the season for stragglers and very early spring). But you would think that they could add something that would repel rodents or insects or whatever without changing the properties of the material too much.
None of the inland marinas around my parts of the country are exempt. However, the commercial marinas servicing large vessels on the Ohio river and Lake Erie might be. I simply do not know. None of the fuel I have ever purchased at a marina has been dyed which is required for the tax exempt fuels.
It appears that in Ohio, the fuel tax derived from marina purchases has it's own uses. Of course other states may be different. I'm not sure what the federal rules are though. Fuel is taxed by both the state and federal governments. But with the tax going to separate uses, it may end up being a problem when used on the roads. But then again, many people buy fuel at regular gas stations on the way to the lakes and recreation areas. Their storage is often away from the water so it might not be as much a problem as storage directly at or on the water is.

Nah.. if you cannot deal with an opinion different from yours or facts you wish to forget, it is problably you who should shut up and listen more.
Wasn't that fire fox or something like that with clint eastwood who sneaks into russia to steal a prototype jet fighter that is mind controlled?
Been a ehile and on my phone so maybr i will look it up later.
Yes.. i need to stop doing that too.

Just saying it is good for the environment doesn't really make it so.
Is it really so? From what I can tell, not any more than what it wants to replace once you figure everything in from the final product.
does that automagically make me a Republican or denier or something?
