Yep - that constitutes bugging. They were behind a door, meaning they had an expectation of privacy. If they were doing it out in the open then bugging would be much harder to prove.
How far does your supply chain morality extend? Do you look at the working conditions of the steel suppliers that sell to your supplier? How about the companies that made the machines the steel supplier uses? What about the company that makes the styrofoam coffee cups that the steelworkers use? What about the coffee they drink - is it fair trade certified?
Just a question - if you are going to extend your morality into your supply chain, where does it end?
You do understand that the average wage in Mexico is around $5,000 a year, right? So to follow your argument, to make health care more affordable in the US we should keep the average wage suppressed. Makes sense to me.
I have no problem with drones flying around uninhabited border areas looking for stuff. Fly 'em around the US national parks to look for poachers or campers in trouble, patrol the borders of Canada and Mexico, monitor oil pipelines - whatever.
I have a major problem with them flying around inhabited areas. The RF spectrum is relatively clean out in the boonies. When you get into inhabited, and especially industrial areas, it gets downright vicious. You have high tension power lines, cell towers, microwave repeaters, industrial gear that dumps garbage all over the spectrum (plasma cutters, giant high-torque AC motors, arc welders) FM, AM and landmobile towers, weather and aviation radar - it's a nightmare. I don't want anything flying around that doesn't have a manual override over my house.
I went to high school in the 90's and we used to build low-order explosives as class-prescribed experiments. In one class the teacher showed us how to make thermite, and used it to burn through a lump of iron. The last day of class he filled a large balloon with perfect mix of pentane (IIRC) and oxygen. The explosion knocked the light covers off and rattled windows two floors down.
...smells and strobe effects gimmicks for the following:
- A well maintained projector, screen and speakers - THX Certification, meaning mostly that everything is maintained and properly calibrated - A properly spec'd out 4K projector, or two 4K projectors with 8K upsampling
It doesn't seem like much, but movie theaters like to pull the following: - Running the projector bulbs dim to make them last longer, or using a projector designed for a small screen for larger screens - Not maintaining their speakers at all - you can hear the broken cones rattling most of the time - Using 2K projectors for 4K material, or two cheap 2K projectors for 4K material. This is very common. - Not calibrating anything, especially their speakers. This is obvious when something is supposed to be moving from one side of the theater to the other, and it sounds like it's going over your head, or it sounds totally different. The surround array probably wasn't calibrated at all.
Well, you picked two volatile indicators and tried to extrapolate meaning from them based on a loosely correlated event. That's pretty much the definition of correlation hunting.
1 - The DJIA is useless as an indicator of economic activity. Not just bad - *COMPLETELY USELESS* The S&P500 has been steadily rising the last few months, and mostly still is.
2 - Gold has been dropping consistently for roughly a month, ever since some European countries that are in trouble had indicated that they might offload some of their holdings to pay off their debts.
+1 parent. The "Disney Way" is to make customers happy. It's *everyones* job. So if you're a miserable SOB working at a Disney park isn't a great idea.
Working there sounds awful to me, I'm not a people person at all. But I personally know a few people who worked there for a few years and *loved* it. More power to them.
How many private investors are involved in California's highway system?
There were a *lot* of privately run roads before the federal government started building them everywhere for "free"
Read up on the California rail debacle. The price has nearly tripled and the distance decreased. They're still barreling ahead. I bet those construction company lobbyists are getting PAID.
If someone writes three or four articles about how they hate blacks and jews would you not consider them racist?
I hate to answer a question with a question, but are you conflating the dislike of video games with racism?
Linus Pauling was an absolute genius. He basically figured out how atoms bind together to form molecules. Incredibly important, fundamental research for just about every branch of science. He also thought taking huge doses of Vitamin C would cure *anything* And I mean *anything* - cancer, diabetes, the common cold, malaria, typhoid - anything.
Just because he was a total quack in one area doesn't mean he was an absolute genius otherwise.
Look, just because we disagree with what they do doesn't mean this is right.
"On March 30, 2013, the North Korean government declared it was in "a state of war" with South Korea." "On the night of April 3, North Korean military said it had "ratified" a merciless attack against the United States, potentially involving a "cutting-edge" nuclear strike, and that war could break out "today or tomorrow".
Maybe im a cold hateful bastard, but i have no love with ignorant idiots so entrenched in their own ideals and times that they cannot accept new forms of media and entertainment.
Yes you are. Some people don't like the same things you do. Some people have different opinions than you. That's OK. It doesn't mean they hate you and it doesn't mean you have to hate them. Just relax and like what you like.
I didn't agree with him on video games, either, and didn't agree with several of his movie reviews, but the man was a brilliant movie reviewer nonetheless.

Want to know how the super wealthy "hide" their money in off shore accounts? Call an off shore bank and ask? They'll be happy to tell you. For a couple hundred bucks they'll even set up the company for you and open an account.
Problem is, you'll need to get money into your account somehow. To do so will take a wire transfer that the IRS will be notified about. Going the other direction would also take a wire transfer, that the IRS will be notified about.

Ajax call to get server time, some clever .js to figure out DST and timezone. Probably accurate 99% of the time, which is as good as you're gonna get.

If you're developing business software you're going to need stats. It's inevitably going to rear it's ugly head sooner or later.

I haven't attached my iPhone to my PC in months.
Yeah, things getting better and better just sucks. Just buy the first thing that comes out and stick with it. My Startac works just fine, thank you.
Most tea party members tend to lean libertarian, who are generally more socially liberal than Democrats.

High school teachers today are wimps.
The main problem is the vast majority of the universe is empty, and the vast majority of the helium in the universe is millions of degrees hot.

How is it a get rich quick scheme? I've seen accusations thrown around, I haven't seen a rationale.
Disclaimer: I own a few Bitcoin that I've mined. I sold a couple, made enough to have a nice dinner. I'm not rich.
In what way is it a Ponzi scheme? The end game of a Ponzi scheme is new investors get nothing. BC still has value.

You're correlation hunting.
Unless it's employees are volunteers, public service organizations operate for profit as well, they just don't give it to anyone else.
