Wait. Let's try to stay on point: Planned Parenthood said the footage was misleadingly edited.
Recording the meetings was one thing (and not legal).
But more important was that they fudged, faked, twisted the footage.
It does not require gigantic technical skills to edit tape.
But, in this case, it is illegal.
Do those who voted in favor of this know that their OWN browsing can and will be captured by their ISP, and the info sold to others?
Are they aware that their spouse, children, and relatives will have this data captured and sold?
Or, are those who voted in favor of this just saying that it is good for business and, thus, must be good for all Republicans?
I retired from IBM. I am not sure how a marketing group can operate only within the US time zones. Marketing is an international exercise.
In my 10 years at IBM, I participated in online group meetings with folks across the globe.
Project management meetings (IBM has excellent PMs) were usually set at US West Coast time, no matter who participated.
But sub-meetings were "time shared"...this week India set the start time, next week Czechoslovakia, then the US, etc
I had a nice office, near home, and no familial obligations, so it was ok with me.
But, there were many others who had family and found it a real burden to join a 4AM meeting, or 10PM meeting.
And to be forced to join from the office, then commute home...ouch.
But, those are the rules.
Wait. The proposed rules are backwards:
There should be lower prices for smaller people. After all, they take up less space, making it more convenient for other customers. AND, they weigh less, allowing the airline to consume less fuel, thus contributing to their margin.
I agree with your comment about the Times. So, let me amend my comment: lets have the TIMES contact Levin, since that is the source for all of these rumors, innuendos, etc. Levin made up the story (real? fake?). Levin is "patient zero". That is where the real news should start. Everything else is just running around with hair on fire.
This is ok as long as every Senator (state and federal), every Representative (state and federal), and every government official (state and federal), including the President, will be tested. Include all judges, all law enforcement (FBI, CIA, State Police, local police).
And, since the voters are, in a clear sense, their employers, WE will get the results. WE are then free to hire/fire every one of these elected AND appointed folks based on our assessment of their genetic testing.
At the same time,WE will ALL get the exact same health insurance, retirement benefits, and all other benes that they get.
IMHO we have given far too much power to these idiots. They are beholden to their donors and benefactors, not to the voters.
Wait. Stop all this frippery.
The original claim of wiretapping was made by Mark Levin on his talk show. Levin cited a series of events (real? fictional?). This was then reported via Breitbart News.
So, friends, reporters, investigators, FBI, CIA, MOUSE...do your job and contact Levin. Interview Levin. Ask to see his sources.
I am usually not someone who agrees with the autistic screeching of the Social Justice Warriors, but I make an exception here.
Technology conferences should be about technology, not naked chicks. Let them wiggle their behind on a sex expo or car show if they want.
A real geek will be at the conference for the content, not the presentation anyway. The only ones who could be lured by babes are probably the salesmen and other non-IT people
Ummm...I manage IT for a relatively large software/hardware company. I attend RSA and related conferences to get a close-up look at the latest technologies. I really enjoy asking pointed questions...and getting diametrically opposed answers.
Anyway, I digress. If Emma Stone is working the booth, I guarantee I will buy, because I am a guy, and the Force is strong in Emma.;>

So sue me.
You want the typical 2 child family to shell out how much per year for education? $10k per student? thats a $20k per year burden, or half of that families income.
No. The 2-student family does not pay 2x per-student cost. Schools are funded by a combination of commercial and residential property taxes. Some states add a state income tax to the formula. A $20,000/year property tax bill is certainly possible, on a home + land assessed around $900,000-plus.
Or lets say you want to spread that cost to the entire community, but that includes asking the childless and elderly to pay a very large portion of their income for a service they will never get any direct benefit from.
That is exactly what happens. ALL property owners pay for the schools.
Also, that cost-per-student covers ALL school expenses: teachers, administration, benefits, insurance, building (heat, light, debt service), bussing, that spiffy football field, textbooks, microscopes, LAN cables, etc,
Didn't Nomorobo already solve most of this problem?
I use it for free on my residential numbers. There is a charge for non-residential phones.
Stops 98%of all robocalls, even the ones with spoofed IDs.
Wow. The original BART system was based on Data General Eclipse MV computers, with a proprietary architecture. The implementation also ran DEC PDP-8s and a few Modcomp systems. They were replaced in the early 90s by Tandem systems running UNIX and Informix. Ah...the good old days! Ask your grandfather.
There is no constitutional duty to for the Senate to act either way regarding the President's nominee.
The President nominates, with the advice AND consent of the Senate someone to be a justice.
Just a small nuance to clarify the two-step process:
1) the President has the executive power to nominate;
2) the Senate has the congressional power to advise and either consent or deny.
Indeed.
People need to concentrate on Congressional races if we want to see any real change.
We need to vote out the "do nothing's" and the "hardliners" and vote in some players who understand the importance of compromise.
Then as we vote in these anti-establishment candidates to the Presidency, they might actually have a slim chance of delivering.
I agree with your point. So, please vote out the Senators and Representatives in YOUR state. Take out your Governor, too.
I will vote to keep my state's incumbents in office.
That way, my reps will have seniority and command the important committees.
What, wait? You want to keep your reps? Oh no...you go first.
Wow...I do hope that slashdotters realize that this was a MOVIE...FICTION.
Geez...it's not Star Wars, which really was scientifically accurate, down to the ability to vulcan mind meld. oh...wait. Wrong movie.
oops...Beam me Up!
Its not computers, magnet schools, charter schools, teacher pay, higher taxes or any of those even when statistics sometimes hint at showing otherwise. The commonality is involved parents who help their kids when struggle, demand they toe the line when they get hardheaded, and have expectations for success. Its just not politically correct to say so because parent involvement lines up so closely with racial lines. Not exact, but close enough.
Agreed - the parents are the most important parameter in this equation.
Second parameter is the quality of the other students. Engaged, respectful, attentive...these students pull up all others.
All other research I have seen says the school building, start times, teacher expertise, size of administration, computing equipment,... even the football team... are far down the list of important items.
There are 37 million users on these web sites? 37 MILLION?
I assume they operate internationally.
Assume also that this represents only a subset of the total cheater population (web-based, non-web-based).
Yikes...it would be fascinating to search through the names.
IBM started agile development ten years ago. I was there. I convinced the initial teams that they needed to provide SOME training/documentation to the target users, otherwise you would have a spiffy new feature/function, but no one would know how to use it.
Also, IBM started moving away from hardware decades ago: the; got out of the sold disk drive business; sold of their PC business to Lenovo in 2004(?)...some friends lost their jobs in that one; and tried to sell of their server business. For over ten years, more than half the company revenue comes from Global Services (consulting).
