Bond Bubble Ben is still printing Bernanke Bucks at a rate of about $1T/year as well, because the FED is the only entity willing to buy new US debt anymore.
Investors rushed into U.S. Treasury debt for safety, sending bond yields to record lows for a second straight session.... The U.S. government is a big winner as it continues to borrow cheaply to finance its large fiscal shortfall. The Treasury Department sold $35 billion two-year notes at a record-low yield of 0.22% Tuesday, a good start to this week's $99 billion in new supply of notes.
"lie to campus police and be let go free of charge" This too, completely legal, campus police are just security guards with no special right to be told the truth.
Um, you sure about that? Most campus police are "real" police, and can arrest you, depose you, etc.
Two of the homes listed in the first publication of gun owners' names have had their homes burglarized - and one of them only had their gun safe stolen.
And? I'm sure houses get burglarized all the time, list or no. How do you know the burglaries were related to being listed?
Also, MANY houses that are burglarized only have their gun safes touched. What are you going to do, fence that gigantic 50" TV for....$100? Guns are where it's at in terms of illegal resale value.
These are valuables that are now listed online for every criminal to target while the vast majority of citizens leave an empty house behind for hours every day.
You mean like.....cars?
Which every household registers with the State? Which are worth much more than guns?
Someone intent on killing a room full of kindergartners is going to figure out how to do it, and no amount of legislation is going to stop them.
Fantastic. When can I pick up my rocket launcher and tank? After all, no restrictions are needed since people will kill people regardless of available weapons....right?
Cars are essential to daily life for the majority of Americans. Our society would grind to a halt without them.
Guns? Not so much. I don't ride a gun to work every day. If I never interacted with a gun for the rest of my life, my life would be nearly exactly the same.
Danger:reward ratio for cars is MUCH smaller than for guns.
The number of hours per week you owe to your employer is part of your employment contract.
BZZT. I'm salaried. I have no set number of work hours other than "full time". If I get my projects done on-time, I fully expect to do whatever I want with the remaining time.
If you get laid off through no fault of your own, you don't owe $.
I'd have to go back and check my contract (you do sign a contract), but I believe you only owe $ back if you can't get a job at all, are unclearance-able, or get fired for cause.
Wow, good ol' Cyber Corp! I entered the program (the one in Tulsa, it's also at other schools, but Tulsa is the "heart" of the program) in January 2003 and had my MS in Comp Sci in 3 semesters, graduating in May 2004.
You're able to go to school full-time because they pay for your books, tuition, AND give you a stipend for housing/food/living either on or off campus. And that buck goes pretty far in Tulsa (I think my 2 bed, 2 bath appt was $550/month).
I went through the NSF-version of the program. The DoD version was for military personnel only (I think?) who wanted to get a better degree.
I was one of the few that didn't go to NSA. Wasn't comfortable with being a super-spook (especially during the Bush years), so I went to a more "benign" agency. You MUST make sure that you'll be able to get a security clearance before you sign up, because if you get selected for the program, go through it, and then can't get a job because you're not clearable, you owe ALL the money back (like $40K or so). However, I had one arrest with a suspended sentence (minor pot possession) and was able to get a Secret clearance with no trouble, though YMMV.
TU (University of Tulsa) has had an Information Assurance program since loooong before it was popular (very early 90s?), so they've had time to build up talent and are VERY well connected in terms of getting you a job. You're pretty much guaranteed a job at NSA. I know several folks who went there and enjoy the work. I know several others who didn't and left for the private sector after their "time as up".
It's a "scholarship for service" system for paying back your tuition/stipend. If it takes you 3 semesters to get your degree, you have to work for the Fed Gov for 18 months to be fully "paid back". Then you can quit the Gov and go work for a contractor and make big $ since you're already cleared. I stayed in Fed service for 2.5 years and then went back to the private sector.
Feel free to ask me any other questions. It was a great deal and I'm so happy I was able to get a free MS out of it.

For example. this weekend I will be renting a house at the coast for 4 days with 15 other gamers. we do it 4 times a year, or so.
Right, because renting a house to game in with 15 other people is a totally common activity.

Uh, no.

I commit no crimes with them....so, they have no need to know about them.
And yet, you have to register your car...
So if they failed everyone who had an account with them would be scrambling for their cut of 2% of the amount needed to pay everyone back.
FDIC. If you have over $250K in the bank, well, let me break out the world's tiniest violin...

OK, so under what circimstances does a wifi device ever do a broadcast probe?
A directed probe would have to be user-initiated, at least the first time, so that's moot.
Right, which is why you have to manually key in the hidden SSID, and THEN the phone will try to connect to that SSID.
That's the only time the phone will communicate out via wifi by itself and not in response to the advertised SSID.

What if we had a list of all gay people, or all people who buy porn because "we want our readers to know where its ok for the children to play"
Gay people and porn buyers are not a danger to children. Guns are a danger to everyone.

Last time I checked, the taking of property without due process is illegal. I doubt this will stand in it's present form.
Tell that to the guy caught with pot who gets his car sold at auction.
Due process is whatever the cops/feds want it to be.

I'm sure the company would happily set something up for people to check their phones in/out.
What, something that requires money AND accountability to run?
LOL, doubtful they'd set that up voluntarily.
Hell, I even designed Doom and Half-Life levels based on my old high school (shit, don't tell anyone or they'll come after me next!!!)
Heh, I did the same thing with Bungie's Marathon II and their level/physics editors 'Anvil" and "Forge".
Now I'd get expelled for talking about it. So sad.
All injured, but none killed.
Don't even consider them Chrsitians. It's a business scheme.
And "normal" Christianity isn't?
that's right and how many people's lives were saved by firearms?
citation?
None of those 22 kids are dead.
...because Lord knows, that's what I always look for in a movie. A presentation that is weird and distracting as hell.
Yeah, I hate those new Talkies as well...

Nah, they'll have to be added to SB/CP as an option first (by SB/CP developers). No way to just "plug in" a new search provider that I know of.
Even if there's no API, maybe SB/CP it could screen-scrape the results?
