Because Israel reneged on its signed declaration to the U.S. that it would, at any time the U.S. chose, open its nuclear facilities to inspection by U.S. authorities.
In fact, Israel did very nearly the same thing Iran is now being accused of, namely, hiding its covert nuclear weapons program. Several Israeli scientists have joked about how they hid their work from the few times they allowed U.S. inspectors in.
Yet oddly, I don't see the U.S. invading Israel because of its violations to a signed treaty/document.
By supporting this bundle you are supporting open-source educational software and the project (AbulEdu) that is making the development of this software possible.
So then when you download a piece of music for nothing and don't pay the artist for their effort, you're choosing not to support them which means there is no reason for them to develop more music in the future.
Picking women's equality issues was an easy choice. If your religion dictates the worth of a person is based on their sex, that is screwed up.
As we saw recently in Pakistan, fanatics of your religion were so incensed that a woman, a girl actually, would dare to advocate that she and every other girl be educated, that they put a hit out on her. That they failed shows their ineptness, but then they compound their ineptitude by saying they will try again.
Apparently the Islamic religion, and to a certain extent Judaism and Christianity, is so terrified that women be treated as equals, that some adherents will go out of their way to kill women who dare to demand they be allowed to get an education. This is beyond wanting not to be covered in a burlap sack, or wanting to walk down the street with any man they choose or be able to drive when and where they want.
Those were easy restrictions to pick on because they go the core of the problem with religion in general which is this overriding, nearly dictatorial effort to control people and put them in little boxes almost exclusively based on gender. Nearly all the other issues with religion stem from this one fact and once people regain the age of enlightenment, many of the problems that exist today will be solved.
Until then, we have to put up with hearing how one group of Muslims killed another group of Muslims because the second group didn't follow the same rituals as the first. Way to go religion, show your true colors.
If your feelings get hurt every time someone calls you out on your religious convictions, either you're not confident enough of your religion or you need to stop believing in fantasies.
Either you believe in freedom of speech, and all the nastiness that goes with it, or you want the world to adopt your narrow-minded, pathetic excuses for why women shouldn't drive, be allowed to walk alone or meet with men who aren't their relatives.
When you drag yourselves up to the 20th century, then we can discuss things you have issues with.
If you want good 3d acceleration, then write the code yourself. Isn't that the Linux mantra, "You can always write your own code."?
Wait, you're not a developer? You can't code? Awww, sucks to be you.
Now you know how everyone else feels who tries to use Linux to get something to work and is told either to roll their own code or RTFM.
If this is to become "The Year of the Linux!"*, the folks managing the packages need to make some hard decisions on how to proceed, otherwise this situation will keep coming up over and over.
* From Cletus, the slack-jawed yokel. Similar to saying, using these here internets.
I've said similar things when people talk about grand plans for projects, and yet, somehow, their plans never come out right because they're more interested in the procedure than if the work is getting done.
If I happen to get an interview for a job I recently applied for, I will try to work that quote, or part of it, into an answer or two. It's the head of a small department dealing with projects, so it should be easy.
For those who don't know, in 2005 it was announced a paleontologist had inadvertently found what appeared to be remnants of blood and or related items inside a t. Rex fossil. Three reference stories:
IF, and that's a big if, what this paleontologist has found is un-fossilized bits of t. Rex, would it be possible to see if any bits of DNA remain? As she states in the third article, she is not equipped to look for DNA and so can't do it.
Not doubting what the research has found, but if this stuff is something that is real, would it hurt to look and prove the exception to the rule?
At the point on the capsule to which the arm will attach, the three metal pieces, are they magnetic? If not, does the arm have "fingers" which latch on to those points? Doesn't the act of pressing against the capsule to capture it invoke Newton's Law of opposite and equal reactions?
Why only one robot arm? Wouldn't it be better to have two arms so you don't apply as much torque to the one arm and make it easier to guide the capsule in?
I'm presuming with the use of maneuvering jets they were able to get the capsule in position and in free drift. How confident are they it is stable relative to the position of the ISS for the capture attempt?
Trust me, they don't need a reason to raise your rent.
Just like the car insurance industry, they'll just claim it's an inflation increase adjustment, regardless of the fact that the "official" inflation rate is currently 1.7% but they raise your rates by 3 times that amount.
The fact that you don't understand it doesn't necessarily mean there is something wrong with them now, does it?
On here it does. If you don't toe the line of wearing the crappiest, most dreary clothes, there's something wrong with you. Take a look at those who have posted what the color is of the clothes they wear. Three colors, max.
I and others made comments a while back about keeping boxes for some of the things we bought for various reasons, the key being if/when we move or to put the stuff back in for storage. You would have thought we were mentally deranged by some of the comments since the repliers didn't do it, we must have something wrong with us.
What makes this discussion completely hilarious is these are the same people who harp about others being sheeple and going with Windows rather than trying out Linux because they might have to learn something new. Apparently wearing a color other than black, brown or grey might require them to learn something new, but that doesn't count so there's nothing wrong with them.
Exactly. The amount of prostitution and drug use has risen dramatically where fracking sites are located.
Not to mention pollution, noise, water contamination, and bar fights.
Though in reality, the local population doesn't get to partake in the upswing in employment because the people running the sites are brought in from elsewhere.
I see. So tell me when was the last time Iran attacked one of its neighbors?
When was the last time shut off trade to one of its neighbors so that neighbor couldn't provide food, fuel or other items to its people?
When was the last time Iran forced people off their own lands and took that land for its own people?
When was the last time when Iran, in the name of security, built a wall through its neighbor's territory and didn't allow the people whose land they had confiscated to farm that land?
When was the last time Iran demolished the home of someone suspected of attacking its people but when its own people do the same thing to someone else, that person/group isn't punished?
I could go on, but you see the incongruity of claiming Iran isn't a rational, twenty-first century nation. Sure, they make big pronouncements about attacking their neighbors and whatnot, but they have not done so in over a century.
So now please, go on and point out how poor Israel is constantly being attacked when it already has nuclear weapons but then claims on one else should have them so it can maintain its military superiority, knowing full well the U.S. will bend over and suck it if Israel decides to again attack one of its neighbors, claiming self-defense but if the neighbor tries to do it, then it's an act of aggression.
As I have said repeatedly on here, in my area I have 2 choices: Comcast or Verizon. To get the lowest level of naked broadband service, 15/5, I would have to pay $75/month. From there, it's only how much they can squeeze out of you for minor increments in speed.
Despite this, the U.S. consistently ranks in the middle to the bottom in terms of speed, but always at the top in price.
So for all the talk about broadband penetration, who has what speed, etc, until real competition is injected into the fray or the law about one provider allowing another to use their lines at reasonable rates is enforced, surveys like this are relatively meaningless. If the cost of getting this supposed speed is too high, why bother?
Lots and lots of cable channels. It will save you oodles of time and effort if you have prebuilt passageways to run cabling than it is to try and snake through ceilings. Not to mention it looks neater and is easier to trace.
Take a systematic approach to labeling and documenting where every cable goes and what it connects to. You might be the only person now, but at some point you won't be there OR, as unbelievable as it sounds, someone else may be hired to work with you.
As for a closet, in some of our buildings that is literally what we have; closets where the racks are. If you have to go that route, make sure you leave yourself enough room to do things without running into the walls or having to slide your hand through a slit not much bigger than an orange. Lighting is also helpful as is airflow.
Storage. All those cables, extra switches, parts and whatnot take up more space than people realize. Something that can be secured. Standard metal shelves with labeling for everything will do the job nicely.
Finally, if you can manage it, some dark, twisting tunnels which look all alike.

because technology companies are running into huge shortages of workers,
No, that is not the issue. The issue is you, the employers, do not want to hire people above a certain age, people who might need a bit of training to get them up to speed or people you will have to pay what their skills are worth.
There are tons of people in the IT field, not just programming, who are either stuck where they're at or unemployed because of your deliberate actions to not hire them. Telling someone to upgrade their skills, which they do at their own expense, then be told, "Well, it's not EXACTLY what we're looking for", then whining you can't find anyone is the direct result of your actions.
You cannot expect every person you hire to have the EXACT experience you want, especially when you refuse to provide training. If all you want are experienced people but don't train anyone, then eventually you will run short/out of experienced people because no one was trained to replace them.
Start hiring people who are close to what you need, regardless of age, train them in the way YOU want them to be, and you your supposed shortage will magically disappear.
I agree that that map app is flawed, but first releases of anything usually is.
So you're saying they've adopted the Microsoft way: release software which is horribly bug infested, let the user's who've paid for the product tell you what's wrong, then go about fixing the problems you either knew about or were too lazy to fix in the first place because you saved a few bucks by not doing testing.
Every map is aligned in a north/south configuration regardless of the way the streets are aligned. For instance, if you look at a map of Manhattan and look at the lower portion of Chelsea, around West 14th Street, you will see the streets in that area run east to west (14th street for instance) AND run diagonally (Greenwich Ave).
On any map of this area you look at, except Googles, 14th Street would be aligned horizontally (east to west) while 7th Avenue would be aligned vertically (north to south). Greenwich Ave would then run diagonally across a printed page, exactly as it does in real life. To show you what I mean, go to Google Maps and input the address, 100 West 14th Street New York New York.
Notice how 14th Street does not run E/W but runs diagonally. Greenwich Ave runs closer to N/S than it does diagonally.
If one were to walk in this area, having never been there, printing out the map Google shows would have one completely screwed up as to which way is true north, let alone which way is east or west. According to this map, if you were to walk "up" Greenwich Ave, you would be going north when in reality you are walking NW. Going "east" on 14th would have you going SE instead of true east.
Worse yet, there is no indicator on the map which way is north. One can guess which way north is based on the streets, but there is no visual indicator where to look for north.
Maps should always be aligned to north regardless of how the streets are laid out, that is the point, and currently, Google Maps does not allow one to rotate their maps so the top of the page is north and streets are aligned in their correct positions.

Along the same lines as hooking an airship to the top of the Empire State Building so people could disembark down a rope staircase.
until the wackadoodles who claim they get headaches from radio signals find out they're living next to a place which runs such an environment.
I can't wait to see the signs they use to protest as they stand outside in the blazing sun:

Radio waves kill!
Save a life. Turn off your radio.
