The Roseville Fry's had a lot of empty shelf space when I was there last month. This means they are not restocking the shelves when inventory is depleted. Anyone see this at other Fry's? I noticed the dwindling volume of LED flashlights while looking for an LED Mag Light and lots of empty shelves over by the external hard drives.
Insurance carriers have been a driving force in automotive safety for a long time albeit not always in a way automotive enthusiasts appreciate. Lloyds of London got its start insuring shipping when losses and damage were common. Ship and cargo owners pooled the risk. As a result leaky worn out ships cost more to insure. The same approach can be applied to space flight. There is no reason why the insurance industry would not insure commercial space launches so long as they sell enough policies to pool the risk. They will force four to six sigma quality at every step of the process because lower quality will cost more.
Certainly, again, there are nuts who take the Bible waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too literally.
Biblical inerrancy is the wellspring from which this doctrine flows. You can read about the power struggle where religious conservatives took over the SBC and ultimately replaced the leadership in the seminaries and baptist colleges with conservatives. I doubt that Leaky is correct. The debate on evolution will continue until human kind has moved past religions rooted in bronze age mythology and superstition.
The original five digit Zip codes identified a geographic area usually served by a single post office. Zip-9 should resolve to a specific address. I suspect that the GP post refers to a non US address that uses a postcode comparable to Zip-9 to identify a unique location.
He goes from SAP VP to convicted felon. Even if he gets a suspended sentence he is still a convicted felon. I doubt there is an SAP customer or any other IT shop in the country that would hire him with a felony conviction in his background check.
I'm sure the media companies are already looking at blipverts as a work around. A few seconds of high intensity seizure inducing advertising. The great snoring masses sucking on the glass teat will not notice. A wiser method to defeat the technology is to develop programming standards that seamlessly transition the program to the commercials. No sudden changes in recording levels, no sudden changes in the video signal and little or no gap between commercials.
Bradbury predicted this trend
"School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored... No wonder books stopped selling."
From Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury - 1953
That's the point. He passes muster, but the content is hollow.
This is nothing new. A couple of years ago the brother of a high school classmate tracked me down on one of the networking sites. His missives were in a stream of consciousness style that eschewed grammar. Reading it was like parsing "All your base are belong to us." but there was enough if it to make my head hurt.
Ranum pontificated on The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security while back. Migrating to a more secure approach would be inconvenient for many and impossible for some such as those who cannot figure out how to configure a wireless password.
It's not like the Jesus racket isn't heavily monetized. Between 1997 and 2004 they shook my mother down for north of thirty grand a few hundred dollars at a time. Multiply that by the number of middle class eighty year old widows out there and you reveal a huge pool of elderly marks. Send them solicitations that look like bills and profit. There's a reason that some folks referred to PTL as Pass the Loot. The sites in question do not have a deep well of technical aptitude to draw from. People with the critical thinking skills necessary to perform well in information technology have outgrown any need for invisible friends.
Choose wisely. Children perceive the world in a more literal sense than adults. The daughter of a friend of mine had nightmares about not being able to put her arms down after reading a passage where Winnie the Pooh couldn't put his arms down for three days. (Or something like that.) There are plenty of stories where a small child dressed up like Superman has discovered he cannot fly after jumping off a ladder or bunk bed. I still recommend A.A. Milne and Beatrix Potter carefully seasoned with Spiderman or other superheros but keep in mind he's probably too young for Peter Rabbit and the Panzerfaust.)
Your best bet is to take the kid to a store that specializes in comics and ask the owner about age suitable material and let the kid decide.
and how it's led indirectly to $4 billion in K-12 and Higher Education cuts since 2008
That's political theater. Cut education and call a press conference while ignoring the cesspool of waste and mismanagement that permeates government bureaucracy.
News flash: Taxes are a cost of doing business. Costs of doing business are passed on to the consumer. Microsoft and Apple would not pay these taxes in any event. Their customers would pay them through higher prices.
The most labyrinthine mind I have ever met was an MIT student majoring in economics. He was hired back in the mid eighties as a summer intern at a defense contractor and tasked with writing a fairly straightforward cross reference program (One input file and one output file) for which I had prepared a Warnier diagram. He tossed the design aside and produced a program that contained seven different read statements and three different write statements. I had to debug the program afterwards; It was a virtual reconstruction of the Winchester Mystery House. I realized at that time that admission to a prestigious universities does not mean the person can produce a usable deliverable.
I did all of mine on locals. The uppers came out easily when I was in college in the seventies. I played softball later that afternoon. About ten years later I had the lowers extracted. These were full bony impacted that required something resembling a cross between vice grips and a slide hammer to remove. Dr. Armel did an excellent job and I learned that you can sleep standing up while on Percodan and Valium. Not as exciting as thinking I'm enrolled in Hogwarts and carrying an invisible light saber but it was still impressive pharmacopeia..
Please mod parent up. Paul Ekman blazed a trail in reading body language and facial expressions. It is important to remember that detecting a lie does not tell you what the person is lying about, and you will not detect lies if the person believes their lies such as a pathological liar or a psychopath. I look forward to the day when politicians, prosecutors, journalists and accused criminals are all subjected to such scrutiny but only after the techniques have been carefully documented and replicated in double blind tests with rigorous peer review.
Commercial plug: Get Lie to Me on DVD. Tim Roth plays the role very well. This was my favorite show on TV before it was canceled.
Some years ago an ambitious prosecutor in Utah filed criminal charges against an adult entertainment store alleging obscenity in the adult videos that were rented or sold. The attorneys decided to establish community standards by demand a rental record of adult videos from all of the Salt Lake City hotels and video rental outlets. The charges were dropped when it became evident that the videos were within community standards. It worked out well for the accused in this example.
What the judge is saying is that if our social and or community standards for privacy are low then the government will have a low standard for guarding privacy. If it becomes normal and acceptable to post lurid pictures of yourself all over the net then we have little complaint if the government looks at these photos. Consider the few cases where criminals have posted online boasts about criminal activity, and in some cases displaying the stolen goods. Law enforcement comes calling and those posts are evidence against them. The judge is giving us a fair warning about the possible direction of privacy case law.

It's deja vu all over again.
I'd consider seeing if New England could strike out on its own and see what came of it.
Is New England a net tax consumer? I suspect it is, in which case they could not go it alone without major changes to government spending.
