"This is about RECRUITERS. They go out and find candidates."
This doesn't change what I said. In this case the recruiter is passing on qualified people just so they can hit a %20 quota. It's not like they have infinite candidates to begin with.....they may be limited to 100, or 50, or whatever. If there aren't enough qualified people to fill the candidate quota to begin with, they'll have to start reaching out to unqualified female candidates to fill that 20%.
If you wanted to hit someone with a "sleep dart" over 100 yards away, such a weapon would most certainly be no different than a bullet at closer range, making it potentially lethal anyways.
Not to mention that these guys were known to be heavily-armed, wore body armor, and had hostages. Better to take them out quickly than risk any more lives.

It's a bad idea to mock the source when you haven't read it.
I see this come up a lot, and one has to wonder.....would the Ayatollah still come to power if Mohammad Mosaddegh's government hadn't been overthrown? Given what's just happened in Egypt, I'd say it's possible.

So we should just ignore them and let them get on with it? I'd love to hear your non-violent solutions.
Look at how many innocent civilian casualties there were in Dresden, Rotterdam, Warsaw, Tokyo, London, Coventry, etc etc. The U.S. could easily do the same thing to Mecca, Riyadh, Kabul, etc etc. I think we've moved on from that.
Some people seem to have the idea that all of this is the fault of U.S. policies. Sure, maybe...but if we were suddenly stopped recognizing Israel, bombing Yemen/Iraq/Syria/Afganhistan, and left middle-east affairs completely, would ISIS/Al-Qaeda/Taliban call off their aggression? If you believe they would, then I have a bridge to sell you. These three organizations don't just hate America, they hate the entire western way of life, and has pretty much been their M.O. from the beginning. Look up their policies on women, religious tolerance, and free speech for more info. But hey, I guess we're supposed to tolerate intolerance.
I don't think torture should be a U.S. policy, but please don't try to make out ISIS/Al-Qaeda/Taliban out to be good guys fighting for a good cause. You know, those SS guys were just trying to spread their way of life through Europe because of the unjust Versailles treaty (Oh My Godwin!).
Well now that Oracle owns both, not much really:-)
I've always felt that the biggest threat to Oracle has almost always been MS SQL Server, especially in the past few years. Unfortunately for MS, when they changed their licensing model with SQL 2012, the threat has waned to a certain degree.
This isn't a "cure" per say, as you'd still have to take verapamil on a daily basis. You'd just be replacing one drug (insulin) with another (verapamil). You'd need less insulin though, and the verapamil will probably help regulate glucose levels more closely. I'm sure verapamil comes with a nice list of side effects of it's own though.
As someone with Type 1, I really want to be hopeful about this.....but it seems like we've been 5 years away from a cure for the last 30 years now.
I know that quite a bit of the exploration that you've done has been with ROV's, but you've also been down in the deep yourself in the Alvin submersible. Was there ever a time during one of your expeditions where you feared for your life?
Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions, and for helping to inspire my interest in science. I was a young when the Titanic and Bismarck were found, and I can still remember the excitement and wonder I felt during those two events.
I still don't understand....if someone is here on an H1B sponsorship and leave employment for somewhere that doesn't sponsor, aren't they here illegally? Or in the examples you gave did these people already obtain a green card/citizenship?
How does this relate to H1B's? There are plenty of people in the U.S. that WANT to work in the information technology field. The examples you gave don't make sense either....I'm pretty sure your friends convenience store and the bus company don't sponsor H1B's.

I remember hearing that couples who lived together before they got married were more likely to get divorced. That never made sense to me, but new research suggest that it's actually not true:
Ditto here. I've raced both electric and nitro RC cars for about 27 years, and I choose electric hands-down.
That's not to say that each has pros and cons. Nitro cars tend to have impressive top speeds, and since they can make pit-stops to refuel, races can last as long as half an hour (I've seen some that last as much as an hour). Electrics have short range, and almost all races I've been in tend to last 5-10 minutes. I've never been in a race where pit-stops are made for battery changes, but I've seen them before and it gets pretty frantic with stops being made every 5-10 minutes. Batteries have come a long way though, with Li-Po having better range and power than the NiCad and Ni-mH we used to have back in the day.
On the other hand, nitro cars are a maintenance nightmare, and trying to start them up after the engine dies is pretty much a write-off in the middle of a race (which happens often after a rollover). The two-stroke engines have low torque, and gearing is problematic (some have automatic transmissions, like my Losi XXL-2). Electrics will jump all over a nitro car off the line every time, maintenance is pretty simple, and I don't have to "restart" the car after a rollover.

And I did read the article thanks.
So if 100 people apply, and only 10 of them are women, I still have to exclude 10 male candidates that are more qualified than those 10 women.
"1) Push your technical recruiters to hit 20% thresholds for female candidates"
At the expense of the qualified candidates?
Have a look at Xojo. It used to go by the name REALbasic.
What's the matter Colonel Sanders? CHIIIIIICKEN?!?
Seems too risky. Non-lethal weapons aren't always reliable in these types of situations.

Being a Type 1 myself, these things interest me as well. The FDA has a nice write-up on it:
