Uh huh, and the rich never EVER have asked from a handout from the government after their own shit-brained schemes backfired and they were going to lose their bonuses unless the government stepped in and saved the rich from the consequences of their action. Never happened, not at all.... oh wait, thats right, it has happened, continues to happen, and will happen again. The rich always use the money of the middle class to save them from any negative consequences they may face, then scream bloody murder when people actually expect them to pay back into the system.
Also, your analogy is so hilariously bad that it hurts(but being a Republican stupidity comes with the territory). You do realize that the rich benefit overwhelmingly from government expenditures don't you? Your war for oil, government infrastructure, police and fire services to protect your property, an education system that provides productive workers, research that helps extend your life. But hey, the middle class should pay for all that right? Just as they should pay for the rich's bailouts.
And of course, you like 99% of Republicans, fail basic reading comprehension. That data specifically excludes the payroll tax which, especially in the wake of increasing income inequality, is incredibly regressive. If you include payroll taxes and other usage taxes(sales taxes and license taxes etc.) then the rich pay considerably less as a percentage of overall taxes than their wealth. But I guess it's folly trying to argue facts with a Republican. The Republican talking points can all be empirically countered with less than 5 minutes of research and yet Republicans love to remain purposely ignorant. Asking a Republican to actually listen to facts and reason is like asking a Christian not to talk to an imaginary man in the sky. Not going to happen.
Don't know about Mitsubishi, but a lot of organizations do try to keep as much of their really sensitive material off of the internet as possible, but at the end of the day you cannot expect to design and manufacture a submarine from end-to-end in a single physical location. Where it makes sense you can run your own fiber, but that can get real expensive real quick. At the end of the day compromises must be made(and of course never, ever trust anything to Windows, but that seems to be a lesson people just don't get)
I was going to point out the irony of referencing Dr. Who as science as it's not exactly the most credible thing in the world, but then I realized that you are a chiropractor, so Dr. Who IS more credible than you:P
You are an idiot and have no idea what you are talking about, i.e. a Republican. Guess what dumbass, YOU ARE NOT TAXED ON EVERY DOLLAR YOU EARN WHILE OVERSEAS! As an American living abroad for quite some time, I know. You have an exemption of about $100k. And of course, it used to be after the first $100k you started at the beginning of the tax bracket, but your lord and savior the man-child Bush raised taxes on us disloyal bastards(who tend to be on the whole more intelligent than your average American and thus significantly less likely to be Republican). About the only group of people, besides the poor, he raised taxes on.
But there I go again disrupting Republican talking points with those zany things called facts and reality. I'll try harder to live in your right-wing fantasy world next time.
But the 19th century was also when literacy started to become really widespread. The reason "God" got a lot of credit for the works was that most literate people either worked for the church or the state, there was no way they could really make a living otherwise. So they obviously credited their works to their "employer"
It's not just money, at least for publicly traded companies, the CEO is no longer accountable to pretty much anyone. Republicans, who declare themselves the "defenders of capitalism", have pretty much attacked the heart of capitalism by doing everything in their power to remove shareholders rights. And when Obama tried to give shareholders a non-binding say on CEO salary, the Republicans screamed bloody murder.
As such it hardly comes as a surprise when you tell a CEO that they basically have free reign to convert the companies assets into their own personal assets, that they go ahead and do so. And even the ones that are so incompetent and/or greedy that they get fired still get a huge severance bonus. Of course the bullshit Republican response is that they "earn it", but like 99% of the modern Republican party's talking points, this one again is blatantly false. The S&P has essentially gone nowhere the past 10 years but CEO salaries have skyrocketed. Meanwhile, a lot of countries where CEOs don't earn massive amounts of cash for little to no work, such as Germany, are out-performing the S&P and Dow considerably. I'm not even going to get into developing markets. The massive amount of executive salary US companies dole out is a huge competitive disadvantage. It creates a huge cost burden for the company without really showing a whole lot for it. But of course, since Republicans despise capitalism, since unlike cronyism it actually allows someone who wasn't born rich to succeed, they are doing everything in their power to destroy it.
Actually printed porn is still quite popular in Japan, esp. when compared to the US and Europe where it is in serious decline. Maybe thats related to the % of the population that has computers, maybe not. Hard to say.
In Japan a lot of people either don't have a computer at home, or don't have internet access(they usually have a laptop in that case). However the reasons are probably a bit different, the Japanese can obviously afford computers, but since even now most Japanese people don't take work home with them, there really isn't an overwhelming need to have one.
assuming the vibration source has infinite mass for illustrative example
Have you been to a Wal-Mart recently? I don't think finding objects of infinite mass is going to be all that hard in the United States, plus the energy released from the jiggling alone is enough to power their Rascals.
Completely off-topic, but apparently it's almost impossible to join the mile high club in the US anymore after 9/11 slate has more info. If we cannot have sex on airplanes, than the terrorists have already won.
Thats where I live, and it actually works alright near the station(so of course the one time I went in to the softbank store there to complain I had full strength), but go even a km or 2 north and you lose strength real quick. Go any further north and it gets even worse.
I am in Ibaraki and it sucks balls. Even in Tokyo I never get nearly the speed I got in the middle of cow town Germany, although I would at least get signal.
I will as soon as my contract is up, but I was dumb enough to want an iPhone and that was the only provider. While I like the iPhone better than Android, being relegated to such a shitty network isn't worth it, and if future iPhone revisions are only compatible with Softbank, I will be dumping the iPhone as well.
I don't want this guy anywhere near any real important infrastructure, his network is a fucking joke. Massive amounts of dead spots, slow as shit(esp. when compared to his competitors) internet speed etc. The guy obviously either doesn't know anything about building cell networks or doesn't give a shit. However he DOES spend I would estimate at least 2-3x as much as his competitors do on advertising. So maybe that is what he is planning, a massive ad campaign for renewable energy without anything concrete to show for it.
Actually Al Qaeda's real goal was never destruction of the US, it honestly doesn't actually care about the US nearly as much as they say they do. Their goal was to goad the US into attacking Middle Eastern countries which then Al Qaeda would defend. By doing so they hoped to unite the Muslim world under their rule. Thats why they spent much more time attacking Iraqis in Iraq than they ever did attacking the US, they needed the US to stay, at least for a while, while they consolidated their power. However while they predicted the US response pretty well, they really botched their predictions for how the Middle East as a whole would react. Most people outside Iraq and Afghanistan were really pretty indifferent towards the whole thing. They were opposed to the US invading Iraq, but not enough to take up arms or get behind Al Qaeda.
Maybe the crew was playing with an RC car on board the aircraft and that jammed the signals. Obviously too embarrassed to confess such an act, the crew hastily created some excuse about North Korean jamming equipment.
demographic changes and societal changes are probably at least as responsible, if not more responsible, for the changes. Due to the "great recession" American kids are finally figuring out what their counterparts in other rich countries(Italy and Japan foremost among them) that living with mom and dad after graduation and even employment isn't as bad as either forking out massive amounts of money in rent to someone else every month or buying a house/apartment that is pretty much guaranteed to be worth less than you paid for it the second you sign the lease.
As such, as more people live in the same household per capita energy consumption tends to fall as there are more "economies of scale" in things like refrigeration and heating/cooling.....
Whether or not this will be a long term trend like it is in Italy and Japan still remains a question and is critical to long term residential energy consumption estimates.
Well there are serious doubts that, in Germany anyway, electricity use will continue to grow at all, let alone at historic rates. Increased efficiency combined with a population that at best has near zero growth means that really the only place increased demand can even come from is industry, but even that is unlikely. Although the German manufacturing base has fares better than most of it's developed world counterparts, it is still subject to the same prevailing trends. Ultimately I think that at least a couple of these plants will not be replaced at all as there simply will be less of a demand for electricity.
The thing is, I am wondering whether they will even bother to fix it for people still running Leopard. Apple historically has released non-security bugfixes for 10.n, security patches only for 10.(n-1), and basically jack shit for all osver
While ordinarily just a dick move, due to the intel transition this means that there is a large user base out there(namely the ones that still run PPC macs) that basically will never get any new security patches for their systems and they are stuck with either pitching their hardware or taking the risk that they will not be a victim.
Apple really needs to make these EOL policies not only clear, but announce them significantly ahead of time so that people who decide to migrate have plenty of time to do so.
Welcome to the world of statistics abuse, counseling is recommended. Now to most people the 1.3% would just be noise, something surveys like this are quite prone to(and to be fair I doubt the survey data collectors themselves said this, but the media has to spin it somehow). I guess you could be thankful though, they didnt spin it is "CS graduates are over 30% more likely to be unemployed than general population", which even if the data were 100% accurate still would not be all that helpful.....
Slashdot Mirror
Yes I do. But if you spend too much time in America then you really aren't living overseas then are you? You were being intentionally misleading.

Yup, the omission of a Leopard update is a giant "fuck you" to all PowerPC users out there.

I just hope this doesnt mean he will wake up as a giant zombie cockroach. The consequences for humanity could be quite dire.
