are you honestly implying that those people with STDs somehow look "different" from everyone else? Or that you can somehow figure out who is likely to have an undetected STD?
Or are you assuming that everyone you have sex with is honest about their sexual history with your and you regularly wait the 5-10 days for a full gamut of tests has been run? Because without the naivety of the first or the obsessiveness of the second, I'm not sure what you mean by picky.
not monotheistic, but still a deity in several sects of Buddhism. many sects pray to specifics Buddhas as deities for protection, guidance, help, etc and many hold that these enlightened beings can perform miracles similar to any other religion's god.
and of course, if you are Hindu, you may pray to Siddharta as an incarnation of Vishnu....
so you, based on your experiences and biases, somehow have come to a more informed conclusion than others? your starting point is just different, but everyone has a starting point filled with bias. I'm sure the Vikings found their raiding of villages equally superior and completely in line with natural law. Why is yours superior to say, the bible? I don't know anyone who explicitly follows everything in the bible so why do you say people aren't just as thoughtful as you? In fact, I'd go as far to say I've never met a single person who follows everything in the bible or any religious text.
so I am just wondering, what is this natural law you are sure you are so much more in line with?
you obviously are used to a specific kind of intern. in my field (finance) we have summer interns constantly and for one purpose, to see how they learn and react to desks they rotate on to decide if we should give them a full time job. they are in no way qualified to do the work and are getting an experience and some knowledge of what the industry is like.
but then, finance is pretty unique in that it is one of the few fields that you generally learn nothing about in school (which is why finance and business undergrad majors are completely useless in everything)
if you have 200k in loans after medical school it's your own damn fault for going private rather than to an instate school. UF tuition for in state applicants is 14k per year plus fees and board. Even if you go all out and don't do any summer work or tap any other sources, you can get by at 25k per year. And if you are smart and work during your (relatively short) summer breaks, and work hard, you can cut into that significantly.
These ridiculous loans, like most student loans, are the student's fault for not thinking, or wanting to go to medical school so bad they pay a half assed private school stupid money so they can get an MD. either way, it's a choice and all medical students know what their wage will be during internship and residency.
medical students do not work at all. they are given teh chance to do some basic case work with patients for experience and are quickly followed by a full MD who redoes the interview and tests to make sure they were done correctly. They also do not work hundreds of hours, and generally only have certain sections of there schooling in a hospital.
I think you are confusing students with residents, who do get paid a wage.
funny, but don't the space shuttle pilots basically do all their training in simulators? they do fly other jet aircrafts to keep their flying skills up but I thought the vast vast majority of their training occurs in simulators.
and I know when boeing was designing the new dreamliner that before anything was soldered it was all designed in simulators. Only after tons of effort went into a good simulation did they even consider drilling a hole.
the imac, with it's stunning popularity and market command was able to single-handedly rescue USB from what... dying out from irrelevance? I don't doubt with you are saying, that macs are hardly at the cutting edge of technology (or at least weren't, now they are right up there) but I don't think apple has every in it's long history had the market command to rescue or condemn any standard.
kinda like how on iOS I have to navigate through 4 button pushes to toggle wifi on and off rather than just 1 on most android phones I've used? That would irritate me a whole lot more as I usually toggle that switch 6-10 times a day because of shite battery life on the iphone (I don't know about android phones as there are so many, but I'll assume they have a similar issue). I MIGHT uninstall an app once in a week so yeah, I'd like it to be quicker when I switch to the iphone but the other saves me quite a few menu navigations each day.
most other things I've seen are hardly different at all. It's like when I first opened up a linux desktop or OSX desktop and had to figure out how things are done. They are all equally easy (in my opinion) and equally irritating, but depending on your usage patterns, one is far far better than the other.
when you exercise an option, you have two tax implications. first, on some types of options, you have to pay ordinary income tax on the paper gain between the strike and the market price when you exercise your options. This is not always true, and occurs when your company gets to take a tax deduction on this stock as compensation it paid. So you coudl theoretically exercise stock with a strike fo 10$, when the price is 20$, and owe 10 dollars of tax on ordinary income which will be taxed at 28 or 35 or 39%, waht ever your marginal rate is. Then if the stock price falls below 10$*(1+margial tax rate) you will lose money, net, on this as you can't cover your exercise and the tax you owed.
Another possibility is you don't owe income tax on teh difference, just capital gains tax between the strike and your sale price. again, you risk losing lots if the stock price then falls below the strike, but you can slowly amortize this loss away again yoru ordinary income (or quickly against other investment income).
so the office can earn 225k a year, and from that pay for rent, utilities, 2 office assistants, and pay a doctor a fair wage after he spent 12 years studying and training for the job? hardly.....
not always quite so obvious. Like the rule to turn out the lights before you leave a room, it may actually waste power depending on how much energy it takes to turn on the lights if it is for a short time.
but in the AC example, there are very high energy costs for cooling a heated room down rather than keeping an "already cool" room cool. So it may not have been completely obvious how many hours of continuous cooling is worth the same as cooling down the gym at the start of each day. I'm unfamiliar with the size of the gym or the energy characteristics, but it's a legitimate concern that would take point monitoring to figure out.
I know where I grew up in Florida, it is more than hot enough to make continuous cooling a better choice at certain points in the year (or really, to raise the target temperature to save some energy but not shut off the system entirely).
wow, he is so much less violent than the leaders of the Aryan Brotherhood (who kill prison guards to prove the point that they can't be controlled) it's not even a reasonable comparison. Proof that the most violent of UK prisoners doesn't have anything on the modestly "uppity" prisoners in the US.
Fall 2008 and into 2009 in the US my costs plummeted significantly and have yet to catch back up. Obviously, that doesn't mean it plummeted for everyone, but there you go, I've lived through it. And before that, I was living in Japan and experienced ever decreasing prices first hand.
where did you come up with that bit of ridiculousness? inflation is never required for investment. For several decades after the civil war, the US had ever moderating prices(read deflation), and for the initial history of the federal reserve, they attempted to keep prices from rising at all, rather than target inflation at some number. And during all that time, there was always large amounts of investment. Investment will occur if there are positive returns,and positive returns by no means require inflation.
Just because modern central bank theory has a goal of a certain amount of inflation has nothing to do with whether it is required or even desirable. Both are highly debatable.
really? number 1 in every business measurable? you may have a very narrow vision of all the businesses that are out there. they are number 1 in about 2, tablets and smartphones, and the latter is not a domineering win but a slight win (and may nto be anymore)
so what you are saying is in order to consider my logic and thought to be sufficient, I first have to read these books? that is like saying you must read On the Origin of Species to understand evolution. Both are equally idiotic and if you think so, your ability in both fields is probably lacking. Darwin, while having a great idea, did not understand the process or or the science as it is understood today and frankly, modern evolutionary theory can be taught without knowing anything about some random islands he went to. Being able to quote Darwin is for people who want to seem or act like they are educated.
For the rest of us trying to expand our boundaries, we'll happily forgo wasting time on methods and ideas that have either been completely replaced or expounded upon in ways that clarify the ideas. It'll save us time so we can try and push forward.
not baffling at all. if they pass most of that money to the record companies and they are ok with it. Google tried to get the record companies to agree to make it a free service. There is no differences from a non-DRM 256 kb ACC and your warez mp3 other than one being ACC and one being mp3.
the main goal most likely is to save space. if google can force the free version soon, that will be even better. The goal there is to not having thousands of versions of the 25000 song library but rather, 1 version of every song and once they confirm you have that song on your HD, they open it up for streaming to your device.
but you only get 5 gb of space. I have almost no music and I have more than 5 GB so it's pretty damn useless as a cloud service. it would have been much nicer if I could have sync'ed when I come home over my wireless network rather than having to get the recharging cable out of my bedroom when I want to.....
that isn't true. a major difference between jailbreaking and rooting is whether or not the vendor continues to provide you updates. A jailbroken iphone cannot be updated for security or for new features in the OS without possibly losing everything gained from jailbreaking. With jailbreaks, you end up with less functionality in some aspects and more in others and the things you lose can be very consequential.
On the other hand, a rooted android phone does not (generally) run that risk. There is now 1 example of a store you cannot access for now with a rooted android device.
as to your points about polish, your opinion is your opinion but don't turn an argument into a chance to market a device.
then android will have more apps soon (July). And if the graph is reasonably accurate, the pace of android submissions continues to accelerate.
and as we all have read, android marketshare is outstripping iOS by a large clip. Hell, when I got my phone 2 years ago the best choice was an iPhone but even I'm excited to switch from what I've seen. I think the last great benefit to apple is being on AT&T so you can check things online while on the phone, which can be really useful. But I haven't looked to see if other networks support that yet and it isn't an iPhone exclusive.
can't I blame them if the electronic limiter they put in failed and allowed me to go too fast? or if the software which is supposed to dynamically slow down the wheels to get me around curves fails to do that?
I mean, unlike Ubuntu/Linux, I actually paid a ton of money for the car with those features
being skilled with speaking and being educated are very different. Obama, whatever your opinions of his ad-lib speaking ability, is very intelligent. Palin proved time and again that without constant care, her lack of intelligence would show through. I do like to think of her as the south park character though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/About_Last_Night..._(South_Park)
almost everyone (I can't think of a maker that doesn't) has Sandy Bridge on their new computers. I think apple beat many but not all makers by a couple of weeks in shipping, but all the makers were offering it for future delivery before the new lines were announced.
