Global temps are being helped along by anthropogenic emissions. The *rate* at which temps have gone up over the past 100 years is unprecedented in any climate record and that is what's most alarming. It's never climbed this fast in this short amount of time. This is the part most "research" reports leave out but is a key fact in the debate.
We require remotes to have an XMPP client active when working away from HQ. Really easy to see when they are available / not available. The policy says Auto-away must be enabled and if you're going to be away for more the 15 mins, you need to leave a message stating when you'll be back. It's easy to contact people to ask quick questions so there isn't such a problem with "Joe wasn't in so we couldn't have the meeting".
Why pay through the nose, both in terms of dollars and in terms of horrendous lead times, for space-qualified parts when commercial, industrial, and automotive parts work just fine?
Heh.. Proof right there that you're not affiliated with a US government agency. And, to answer your question, the reason is to keep the tax dollars funneling into the privatized black-holes* It's rampant. [*] http://rt.com/usa/blackwater-security-iri-report-300/
I don't see how you can call disagreeing with systematic anal rape of the middle class "bad at agreeing on things".
The current GOP side of the aisle is nothing more than a collection of representation for the interests of the upper 1% of wealth in the US. Nothing more, nothing less. As the distance between have and have-nots grows wider, you can thank them for it*
Nobody in their right mind is going to take a "cargo clerk" position with a 4 yr. degree. By listing these positions as such, the employer ends up with a whole stack of vacant positions. A stack of reasons to whine for H1B visa workers. Bush started it*, and it's still rolling along.
I wonder how they differentiate between the 'local' and 'visitor' cell phones. Hit F3 in the spreadsheet and search for your MEID? If it's not there, they register it and you get tagged as a visitor?
This is what happens when you give stupid people that much power.
This is what happens when when you give anyone too much unregulated power. And that power needs to be regulated by a true democracy. Intelligence becomes more of a factor when it comes to working the democracy.
I can't think of too many gun related massacres which were the direct result of "violent video games". In fact, most were the result of mentally unstable people coming into possession of a some type of device to cause harm -- not just guns. I think a lot of the tragedies could have been prevented had people close to the murderer(s) taken responsible action, early on, when harmful behavior was exhibited:
Most people can "Doom away" 24x7 and have no problem separating fantasy from reality. A small portion cannot. That same small portion who cannot will result to whatever means is at their disposal when they become unstable. Banning guns, video games, magazine capacities, does not address the core issue and actually ignores it.
Role playing is important for healthy mental growth. Video games aid in that role playing for most healthy individuals. Prohibition isn't going to fix anything. Never does.
It's hard telling what NK will do but when you are that small, have little left to loose and a couple axes to grind, extreme becomes an inviting option. Especially if you've evolved in a bubble of your own manufactured reality. It might be funny to see them puff-up about their "military might" but we underestimated them once before and it didn't go well. In fact it REALLY didn't go well - for 15 years.
That would explain the problem with most games out there. They pimp all these super-bitching graphics effects but most people do not have $1000 to spend on their gfx.
-- U.S. government has receives grade of "C-" -- DHS received a "D" for 2006, an "F" in 2005 -- DoE pulled its grade up to a "C" from an "F." -- Department of Commerce received an "F"
small local one-jar-at-a-time-by-hand producers charge about twice as much as the grocery store does.
Dude, think about how much honey you actually go through. Unless you're Winnie the Pooh, that's not a very strong case for not supporting your local farms. So what if 8oz cost $10 bucks -- I bet if you average out the expense you've only spent a couple bucks/month to have some fresh, local product in your pantry. What's more, the farmer wins too and manages to keep a business going. Everyone wins and in a roundabout way, the environment wins too because now your "Honey" didn't have to get brought in from half-way around the world by Ship, Plane, Train or Truck.
This is the way things used to work but ever since we've come to rely on "manufactured" food, our choice have become limited and the quality and ingredients questionable and sometimes downright treacherous.
If you don't support your local farm, you will find yourself with no other choice BUT the chinese black market Propylene Glycol "alternative".
It would be understandable if that were the case, but instances like these usually fall into the category of "systematically engineered to extract every last cent of tax dollars out of the project before shitcanning the whole works as an OOPS"
The only other explanation for such negligence and runaway overspending is sheer idiocy -- and I don't think people who get approved to spend that much money are all that stupid.

Wow. I actually just agreed with a libertarian on 90% of what they were saying....
They deserve to be just as miserable as us married folks.
Make that 91%

In any case, that's only four years. Where are the other eleven?
Sorry, typo on my part. You're correct. I was thinking about Vietnam but typing about Korean. I'll show myself the door...
Yes.

It's 4MP. Many phones have 8MP these days. Seems like an odd corner to cut.
except if you're a game developer yourself.

It amazes me that when somebody does something as a business that it infuriates people especially when they get something for free.
Shuttleworth picked the wrong crowd to spring this on. I don't think "Free" means what you think it means here or else you would understand.
