Yes, it took a former general and Supreme Allied Commander to have the balls to say what was happening, although I don't recall him actually doing anything to prevent it or even slow the process down.
EPA. FDA. Meat inspections. Potable water inspections. IRS auditing of multimillionaires. OSHA. FERC. Customs inspections. Port security. VA psychological benefits. Pretty much any program that doesn't aid the PTB or the mega-corps.
This is a deliberate attempt to kill this discussion thread, not actually advertising. This loser has just picked up a piece of spam that some moron actually posted here a couple of years ago and is filling the thread with it because he knows that most people won't scroll past it.
Engineer not managing or working strictly as an architect later in your career means you failed somewhere.
What a steaming pile of horseshit. I have absolutely no intention to ever move into management, I hate it and would absolutely suck at it. Why would I want to do something that I hate? And I really don't care if there's a pile of money at the other end of that "advancement", I'm not so desperate that I would be willing to spend the next x-many years miserable every day.
My answer, 'Doing this job via remote access from my house in Peru" was one of the reasons that I got hired at my current position. Hopefully the telecom service there will improve enough that I really can do that by then.
Really SlashDot, I'm disappointed. I expected to see this observation making up half of the discussion thread, instead just a bunch of whining about the size of a basketball court. Sigh.
Actually, it's an incredibly cool accomplishment. This has already been one of the most productive deep space probes in years, and now the show really starts.
Higher up the thread is a link to the Unmanned Space Flight forums, where there are some much better images. There are at least two rocks and some sand that have moved from one image to the next. Apparently this is on the uphill side of the rover, and the rocks may have rolled down from above.
And the temperature in the Kardashian's pool was lower than normal too. They had to go slut it up in the hot tub to get warm! TV reveals the truth, that's why they call them "reality programs", right?
Houses were not insulated, most didn't even have plaster and lathing on the interior of the wall studs, the only heating was radiant heat from the fireplace, and if you underestimated the amount of wood you needed in September you were burning your furniture to keep alive by April. Clothing was limited to wool and cotton, with no way to really dry them when you got wet. The gods help you if your boots fell apart in the middle of winter and you didn't live close enough to town to get them fixed, very few people had the tools to do that. Some winters it was a miracle ANY of them survived.
My grandfather had a photo of himself, his brother and some neighbors, young men all, standing in front of a snow drift with shovels. On the other side of the drift you can see about a foot of the smoke stack of a locomotive. When my dad was young someone he knew drove his car from Michigan to Wisconsin across Lake Michigan, and people moved HOUSES across the ice on Lake Superior. When I was little I remember snow banks were frequently taller than my dad. My mom saw her first Christmas without snow on the ground in 1984, in the last ten years they've had snow on the ground on Christmas day twice and Grand Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan (not the big lake, just the Bay) has frozen thick enough to go ice fishing once.
Australia isn't the only place that has seen a century of warming.
The Unmanned Space Flight forums has a much better set of photos in this thread. Apparently there are at least two rocks that have appeared, and some dirt. They may have rolled from higher up, this spot is on the uphill side of the rover.
My housemate and I were out in the yard splitting wood when his girlfriend drove up, jumped out of her car and yelled "The Space Shuttle just blew up" over her shoulder as she ran into the house. She already had turned the TV on by the time we got inside, I remember her muddy footprints across the floor and the cats trying to figure out what the excitement was about. We watched the coverage for about half an hour, then I got really, really stoned and split Douglas fir until my muscles ached and I couldn't hold the maul any more.
We know grams pretty well, Seattle has long been known for having "the best-lit closets in America". I haven't seen kilos of weed since it stopped coming from Colombia.
Actually DARPA just takes credit for what a bunch of university system admins and some HP, IBM and DEC techs had already done on their own. Salescritters saw what they had done and said "We can charge for this!" DARPA mostly paid for writing down the spec. Internetworking was such an obvious development that it would have happened within the next year or two anyway.
There is a little old observatory on the grounds of the University of Washington, built in the 1890s when the U was still well out of town. The bearings for the dome (which is small enough to be moved by hand) are Civil War surplus iron cannon balls.
Most lesbian couples will just go for standard artificial insemination, not many go to all the trouble of in vitro because there normally isn't a need for it. In vitro only becomes a consideration when regular inseminations (~60% success rate, about $1000 per attempt) fail repeatedly. For that matter, a lot of them will just have regular sex with a male friend a couple of times and be done with it.
Our banks are run by people who play "executive musical chairs". If something will save the bank a million dollars over the next ten years, but nothing for the first three years, it won't get implemented because the executives will have rotated out to another company by the time the savings could affect their quarterly bonuses. Chip and pin would cost the banks money to implement, so it won't happen until you get a set of executives who can see further than the next board meeting.
Considering the successful pregnancy rate of in vitro fertilization is considerably lower (~30%, the last I knew), and considerably more expensive ($10,000 per attempt), their technique might be a boon to infertile couples.
Keep in mind, these are not food animals but research critters. You don't want the variability of sexual reproduction when you're testing (for example) the effects of different combinations of multi-drug cocktails, or the interaction between different percentages of heavy metal contamination. The people who have created goats that produce desired drugs in their milk have had trouble with the inserted gene being bred out, cloning would prevent that.

Where is Michael Kristopit when you need him?

The cold fact...
I see what you did there . . .

If so, it would be hard to find a more deserving target. Maybe Glenn Beck.
Didn't realize tuition was included, thought it was an additional expense. As you can guess, I've never been to grad school.
$20,000/year comes out to $10/hour assuming 40 hour work weeks, and damn few grad students put in 8 hour days.

Graphene. How does it work?
