But then their manhood will be threatened, for no-one will buy the truck that does that, rather than "V8 TITAN 5.5L SUPERDUTY". You know what's really fucking horrible, seeing that on a pickup, with a four wheel rear axle, no tow hook, internal or external to be seen, and half the time a hood... what exactly do you need that engine for, again?
So why do soccer moms drive huge SUV then? To carry around their 'special little one.' Is their Womanhood somehow threatened if you took the SUV from them?
On a side note, I would prefer an all electric truck and/or car. It would deliver more torque and horsepower then a combustion engine. There are just many technical issues for that to work now.
Any company started and run by any Government is not a "level playing field" IMO. It may be a way for Government price manipulation, but then that's not letting the market determine price.
Secondly, since it is started and run by the Government, wouldn't this be considered a public service instead?
I don't think it's paranoia that I was trying to convey. I didn't limit by statement to Governments. Every time you use your credit card, your purchase is tracked and that information is used by advertising and manufactures. Yes, it does help producers to target consumers needs, but should it be so targeted?
It all sounds cool...for a movie or a fad. The next thing you know you have to keep your virus defs up to date or your tatoo will be throwing up all kinds of unwanted pop-ups. If it can be 'reprogrammed,' that is just a freq that manipulates the nano devices, then it can be maliciously altered as well. I still don't understand the fascination with putting electronics in the body (medical reasons notwithstanding). And there is already an issue with people being tracked and watched. They tie the screen to your vitals and it will glow green if you are telling the truth or red if you are lying. It will tell folks your current medical status. _IF_ that is what you want.
How can it be that everyone has a greater than 3.0 GPA?
Well, first off, it's Ohio State.
Second, this sounds like the kind of "study" done for a sociology class. Plenty of inflated grades among people who take Soc 101.
Third, it was a survey. It'd be interesting to see if there's a correlation between not using Facebook and lying about your GPA:).
Fourth, everyone's check cleared for the semester. Sadly, that seems to be the target more often for many universities these days. Does anyone really think that their 4 year education is really worth $100,000.00+?
Well, I had a real issue with Craigslist when I showed up with a 150 apples only to be turned away. What a scam. Where else are folks with fruit and flower interests supposed to meet?
It really makes me wonder why Microsoft bothers with the continued development of Windows. The customers have spoken: they like XP, and find it so good that they do not even bother to upgrade nor switch to the much more modern Linux distributions that are available already for years. Vista flopped, and Win7 (or whatever it's going to be called upon release) is also not getting a too warm reception so far.
Just lay off >90% of the workers, keep a core of XP maintainers, and profit.
Exactly. I don't think it's customers saying they like XP, but it does what 95% of folks out there need to get done: email...sorry showing my age, I meant facebook, web, and some paperwork. And guess what there is little reason to upgrade hardware or the OS if your only concern is how fast your facebook page loads. That's up to your provider. Unless there is a "must have" in 7, there is little to no reason to upgrade.
More ice has melted. And then... More ice has melted. And then...
I think everyone gets it by now. The ice at the poles is melting and there is little anyone can do about it. The Earth's climate changes from time to time. It has changed abruptly in the past (ice cores) and will do so in the future. "Man's" responsibility is and will be debatable. If your climate is riding a razors edge and man pushes the Earth into a warming or cooling cycle is it really man's fault? Man sure does like blaming him/herself for global cycles. I guess because we are _so_ important in the Universe. If Man has thrown the Global Climate cycle out of wack, Earth's history has proven that it will self correct. Now can Man be flexible enough to survive it? That is the better question.
What market SUN has which is still substantial in certain arenas. Then there is Java, MySQL, and many other products which has been clearly covered. But I think getting their hands on ZFS and dtrace will be big. With ZFS IBM can build cheaper versions of NetApps Filers. Did I use cheap and IBM in the same sentence?
Hopefully IBM will still push out OpenSolaris along with Trusted Solaris. I wonder if this means the sparc processor is done and Solaris will be migrated to the IBM's RISC. What of AIX then? I don't see IBM maintaining two operating systems long term.
I'd fire that driver for turning tail. Lock the windows and keep driving. They can blur the faces of the mob later.
As for calling the police, go right ahead, I'm sure Google is breaking no laws.
This is a gray area. Technically they are not breaking laws. My issue is not if someone takes a picture of my home and street, but if it's published for anyone anonymously to study the street from the comfort of their home 5 or 500 miles away. If they want a picture of my home, they themselves should be there.
Though I do see an advantage of street view in cities, buy why residential areas? That is the one thing I think they should not be allowed to do.
"Right now we have a system in place that is unfair globally, the US and other rich countries are benefiting. Outsourcing makes the economy more fair. That screws everyone currently on the top. Ethically we should be OK with fair systems."
I'm sorry, but it's only 'fair' if your profits go up (be it a company or an individual pay). The only people who are going to get screwed are the workers. The ownership doesn't change; only their profit margins. And that is really what this is all about, not 'fairness.' If you think for a moment that outsourcing makes for a better economic structure of free market, you'd be wrong. This is all about who will take the least amount of money to do the most amount of work, but not in a good way. It's tough to 'be fair competitively' when there is someone in a market that costs a fraction to maintain an equal quality of life can take your job. Sorry, but the simple answer is "well move."
But what does it matter? Outsourcing has been going on since the days of the carpet weavers and will continue to do so. Didn't the Romans outsource their troops? I wonder if I can outsource my mortgage?
"Side note for coding. Coding is VERY easy to export, shipping costs nothing."
You are outsourcing more then that. You are ensuring that there is no reason for any student/person in the "rich countries" (your words) to learn any type of engineering at all at some point. There is no need at that point. Let's export all the schools as well. I mean if it's cheaper and better for the economy, let's do it right? You'll still have courses here for a while; consumer101 and 210. But then again, it will be tough to suckle at the tit of all of the new manufacturing countries without generating any income. There is always Vegas/Wall Street I guess.
I keep waiting for the post of someone who wants to follow in the steps of Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, and Michael Dell. All IT related, all quit collage and look at them now. They have PhDs, from all disciplines, working for them. Exceptions to the rule indeed, but they all put everything (time, effort, and money) on the line and it worked. Will another "industry boom" happen again. I'm sure it will, it happened in the past many times. But that is of course your goal is to become super wealthy, monetarily speaking.
I always found the following statement a little helpful when deciding a life path: If you knew you couldn't fail, what would you do?
You must have forgotten your undergrad requirements of psych. Most people who are over 35 don't see that change as a good thing. They look at "let me go get another degree" as "I'll be pushing 40 something! Who'd hire me then?" Which is pretty much true. When you are over 35 it becomes a realization that time is not your friend. It has been done, but I'd say it's rare. It stinks from a quality of life standpoint. People are in jobs they do not like which means they are not putting forth all their effort into them. But it was the path they chose in their 20's and next thing they knew, they had a family, mortgage, bills, etc. and no way to 'start over.' So they bear with it. Companies and educational systems lose and so do those who are in that situation.
One more thing tied to my initial sentence and to quote victor frankl: 'All suffering is equal.' As are all disciplines of education. Though I do understand that the "hard sciences" folks like to think they are "smarter" then other paths of education. Which is totally not the case. They have a better understanding of their chosen field, but that does not make them superior in anyway. I'm sure your statement would upset some of your tenured Psych professors. I'm sure they look at folks in the hard sciences as idiots for not understanding behavioral issues.

FreeBSD jails predate Solaris zones by five years.
And soon they will be called Soracle Meditation Gardens.
It's not a matter of needing 'guardrails.' It's a matter of who decides what and where they are used.
Yes, it is stupid. But it's very well connected politically. Like always, it's about bringing home the bacon. The farmers thought they had a wiener.
fixed.
How would they get in? Do they have badges of some kind? Is there an FCC trained police force to execute these entries?
To really revisit the Communications Act of 1934 to will take someone getting hurt or killed during one of these entries.
Or due to the Supreme Court ruling in '67, FCC spokesman David Fiske will have to be educated on Federal Law the hard way.
But then their manhood will be threatened, for no-one will buy the truck that does that, rather than "V8 TITAN 5.5L SUPERDUTY".

Don't fool yourself. If the Earth had a chance, it would kill you in a minute. Don't give it that chance. Consume or be consumed.
Hmmm, War on Earth. No wait, wrong administration. I meant Earth Based Contingency Operation.
Global warming, fundamentalist christian, jews, muslims, poisonous food additives,and a global echonomic collaps can be a good start. :D
That list says quite a bit about your views. ;-)

We need a stock bump.

You are decades from a "sell-able" solar vehicle, if at all. Now get out of the way of my SUV.
