>'This should be a relatively smooth transition that won't affect current customers"
Every time some corporate droid has told me this regarding a {buyout, merger, acquisition, sale, re-org} a major cockup has followed. The only thing worse is when they use the phrase, "transparent to the end user," and you know the apocalypse is coming next week.
This is the kind of intern who never becomes "employee." He obviously didn't learn any workplace skills in school. You could try to teach him those, or you could wait until you or someone like you is asked, "Should we keep Intern Bob around?" He will then disappear, and harmony will be restored.
To be honest, 1.5M USD is a pretty damned small amount of money (his salary should be publicly available as he's a state employee in Texas), perhaps as little as 7 years salary (if a full prof.)
His 1.5M USD over 5 years is $300,000 per year over and above his UT salary. Definitely moves him a step up from whore to call girl, but maybe not enough to rate all the way to courtesan.
My bet on which line will be "Made in the USA" is the revamped Mac Pro due out next year. First, the numbers are far smaller than that for iPads or iPhones. requiring less capital investment. Second, they're not as challenging to assemble. Third, the added labor cost will be a smaller percentage of these more expensive units.
I would think low base #8 2.75 inch shells for pigeons. That's what I use. That would not be very effective against a copter drone. However, it's easy to chamber a couple of #2 3 inch magnum goose loads if the need arises. You could scale up to 00 buckshot if needed. A spread of 32 cal. balls ought to do it.
Band-tailed pigeons are quite tasty. They are native to North America and eat berries, seeds and whatever in the woods. Rock doves are native to Europe, live in cities and eat whatever little old ladies throw at them. I have never eaten one of them.
I find the Rapidograph size 0 to be exactly right for the sort of tasks mentioned. I've used one for decades. Size 0 gets more use than all of the other pens in the set put together.
>look at Saturn's rings, which also have sharp edges
I believe the sharp edges of Saturn's rings are attributable to the shepherd moons. This also appears to be true for the rings of Jupiter and Uranus. Not enough is known about the Nuptunian ring system to say for certain about it.
I am very well paid. I like making my own coffee. I don't have a gardener, because I like gardening. I would rather have a root canal and a colonoscopy at the same time with no anesthetic than try to fix Unity. Accounting for my time in my work life and my personal life are two very different things.

Based on years of reading /., the answer is clearly, "No!"

It's not the Vegans' fault. It's those asshats from Fomalhaut.
Mexico doesn't want them.
Well, they've managed to demonstrate that Tom Cruise is an insufferable idiot.
That counts for something.
That falls into the category of self-evident. No third-party demonstration is needed.

>That would be like sending in the army to end racism in the south so that you can hand out bottled water.
That's exactly what we did, so people could drink from the public drinking fountains (and also vote and go to college and such.) It worked.
Measures aside, you don't have to spend much time around people to understand that some of them are pretty stupid and others are much smarter.
Well said. The LDP is neither liberal nor democratic.

All good points and very doable. Understand that it will take you at least five years to do this.

More likely it's a Google Street View camera car with a flat tire.

...is a shining example of nonpartisan analysis, sound statistics, and rational thought.
That's a pretty good description of Nate Silver and why people pay attention to him.

Of course technology costs more down in Oz. it has to be manufactured to handle the fact that electrons spin widdershins down there.

Tidal stresses would have long since ripped you into tiny pieces.
I suspect he'd wear a pink tutu and sing songs from Little Mermaid if he thought he'd get more votes.
No, no, that's what he wears when he's playing J. Edgar Hoover with his boyfriend.
That's like asking what the best fast food restaurant is.
Wherever you are, it's always something local with only one outlet. Fourth and Sea or Fresh Freeze or Mom's Burger Bar or some such.
No. It reflects on the application of critical thinking to topics other than Linux.
