Having worked in the educational sector for almost a decade (still have friends in it), I can see your dilemma. I used to LOVE my educational benefits (and I'd still like them), but once I moved to the private sector I've been much happier with the pay. There is a lot more stress though.
Can you explain this a little further? I have run snowmobiles and lawnmowers for years with ethanol (in Michigan) and have had no adverse effects, or at least nothing on the scale you describe. The gas isn't "stored" in the engine - so it's not like the moisture should be making contact while not in use. When in use, as long as you run the engine for more than a couple minutes, it should heat up to a point where any moisture locked in the engine will boil off... Granted, there may be water pulled into the fuel, as you say - the vented tanks and all - but I don't understand how this affects an engine so much while not in use?
Sorry... Not the case (in the US). Pilots/Flight Attendants do get paid hourly, but only while the door is closed on the plane (plus per-diem). Pilots are limited to something like just over 1,000hours in a year because of all the extra time going to-from the airport and prepping for the flight... But none of the "extra" is paid time. So it's not exactly easy to put a $/hr figure on it.
And while, yes, you can be worried about the new pilot making less than the "people in the McDonalds", you also have to understand that there are two pilots up there, and one of them isn't new... The captain has many more hours under him... AND both of them still have to get checked out by (aka ride-with) other pilots before they continue on the path of becoming a ATP (commercial pilot). There are many people BEFORE getting to the airline they have to have sign off, THEN there are more people AT the airline that have to sign off on them.
Of course this is all dismissing the fact that a McDonalds working knows that by overcooking the fries he's not going to kill himself. I've always thought it was funny how quickly people forget that the pilots up front may not care about the passengers (I know I don't), I'm pretty sure ONE of the two of them up there want to make it home, for themselves... They're probably going to work extra hard on that part of the flight.
"Mexican agricultural economy with corn so cheap that the Mexicans couldn't afford to live by growing it."
a quick post to note that NOW is the time to grow corn... From reuters "...Corn prices hit a record at the Chicago Board of Trade in overnight screen trading on Friday at $8.25 per bushel in the July 2009 contract..."
Funny to me how bad nafta was when corn prices were to low. and now nafta is bad because corn prices are to high...
I agree with what you've said here, the ONLY issue I have is; While I don't believe a cell phone will cause any issues with the avionics, I KNOW that the headsets the pilots wear can pick up the noise that a phone makes. They won't hear you talking, and it won't even be that bad... The issue really is with them understanding ATC (air traffic control). If one pilot out of five has to ask for repeats of information... That will make for busy airwaves up there...
Other than being annoyed by people talking next to me, this is the only reason I believe they shouldn't be allowed in flight.

Also, the "enemy" is a little different then and now...
His spending did end the cold war... Or maybe it didn't, I'm sure you'll tell me.
I think his stance on gun control might be different... being shot and all...
OK... I guess I'm just stupid then... Obviously I can't read... When he talks about the history of the republican party and "anyone who is a Republican for economic reasons is either 1) very well off or 2) pretty damn stupid." he doesn't seem to say "for this past election... But then again, I'm stupid.
-You- re-read it and see if MAYBE he's a little critical of not just the latest republicans, but all...
Thank you for telling me who I am and how I think... Oh wait... I don't know how to think do I... I forgot... I vote Republican, I must be an idiot.
Now, back in reality, you don't know what you're talking about. I tend to vote republican not because of what money I get out of it, but because the ideals that they 'say' they hold are similar to mine. This has not happened in the past several years... That is also why I did not vote for republicans on almost anything - nor did I vote for Dems.
Give me Reagan or Bush Sr. any day. (Really wanted Steve Forbs years ago...)
OK, so under times when you're told to hold records, I get it... But why would an ISP (other than some tech support stuff) want to keep this crap? I mean, get what you need and toss it - otherwise be prepared to keep extra staff on hand to handel all that information - especially when the govt wants info from you. If you just tossed the data as soon as you could, and the govt called you could say "Sorry, it's already gone, we don't keep it"... Then you don't have to have additional resources to feed to something that won't help you bottom line anyhow, right? That said, I don't have a business degree, so... Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.:-)
Exactly, I can't tell you how many times I've felt bad playing FPS games, looking on the horizon and killing my partner... OR rounding a corner, thinking this guy was with me and getting shot in the face. Ahh well, all part of the fun I suppose.:-)
The first EASY example I can think of is weather charts where green means light rain and yellow means heavier rain and red is terrible you're about to be lifted to Oz... Well, I know when it's red - but that's about it. Greens and yellows blend right into each other and I cannot distingush between them... And that's ok... It's something I deal with, I face it about every day, but - so? Everyone has SOME problem, why should I be the guy to file a lawsuit so that some other guy gets fired from him job because it costs the company a million in legal fees? So now my problem has just made a bigger problem (IMO) for this guy and his potential family, he loses his house, then his wife and kids... Because I wanted two colors to be seperated or optional on a web page... That's crap.
Second thing I think of is that game that is kinda like bejeweled - only without the shapes... Again, greens and yellows (or blues an purples depending on the version) are a total loss to me.... So I find one that uses shapes instead... It's not a big deal - or sure it COULD be, but why? When I'm faced with something I can't handel - I see if I can't find an alternative, the same would be for Target if my color blindness cause issues there. I'd go to amazon, or walmart, or "bobs house of good stuff"... whatever... It's stupid to create such a fuss over this.
All sorts of people have problems - why should I feel that mine are more important than yours?
It's rather unfair to deny them the ability to live a normal life by placing unnecessary obstacles in their path.
Umm, they will never have a "normal" life, and "we" didn't put obstacles in their path, they - because of their disability - became obsticles without any effort of mine.
And on a side note, I am color blind (color vision deficiency is more accurate) and I've never ONCE thought that someone should make some sort of a change for me... I've wanted to be a commercial pilot ( http://www.washingtonwatchdog.org/documents/cfr/ti tle14/part67.html#67.103 ) and that is probably not going to happen... That's ok, it's not in my cards.
There are plenty of other areas where being color blind limits what I can do, but I'm just happy I don't have cancer, you know...?
"which supplements its satellite coverage with earth-bound transmitters. A recent test found that 19 of these transmitters were unlicensed and another 221 exceeded their authorized power level"
I believe they are talking about the supplemental "real" broadcast antennas... So that parking garages and sky scrapers don't interfere with the xm signal. So these aren't the little crappy fm systems in your car, these are SUPPOSED to cover a city... Though they must be covering too much right now... And I'd guess this IS a big issue for the FCC.
I equate many of these positions to the janitor (and sometimes I've felt like a janitor) while he may not get paid much, and may not get much respect... He's one of the few guys that has keys to the WHOLE building... You just have to trust some people. Or don't hire them...
I don't think this is the reason for the great lakes water level dropping, not to mention the water levels (at least on lake michigan) fluctuate so much anyhow... And based on this - they see other problems that seem to contribute to it more.
I guess it's not so much that I WANT spyware, but if a company is willing to put out a good game for next to nothing... I feel they are LESS evil than those that charge out the ass and then still rape your pc...
heheh - not only is sirius not on there (as MANY others have said) but they also link to 'proof' that the WTC was brought down by explosives... This is a site that should be held in high regard. And of course I laugh now because of South Park.
I know this isn't the "place" to write about GM, but I thought I'd just include it here because there are so MANY places to put it. I have a suggestion... For all of you who are scared to eat whatever modified food you're considering. First send me a sample. My wife and I will have dinner, and let you know whether or not we're dead. Then you can feel safe... (And I can eat for free.)

I voted... And I agree with the guy who didn't vote. So just use me as a proxy for what he said and all will be happy.

There are many diffences, the first of which I think most of the liberals here will agree with was that Reagan could speak.
