You do not understand this correctly. Unless things have changed since I enlisted, served my time and was honorably discharged, the USMC signs the same contracts as the other branches of the armed services. You sign up for X number of years, where X is equal to a Y active component and a Z inactive component. In my case, I spent 4 years on active duty, and 4 in the inactive ready reserve, where I could be called back to duty.
I'm OK with this. In my opinion, ownership of books is overrated. There are pros and cons to physical ownership just as there are pros and cons to ebooks.
I have teenaged children that read a lot, and ebooks allow them to all read the same book on their phones/tablets at the same time. I've witnessed them argue about who gets to read a new physical book first, and I'm glad to sidestep that entire argument.
With ebooks I don't have to store the book. I can't lose it or leave it on the train I take to work every day. Yes, DRM sucks, but I still prefer ebooks to physical books. I also don't have a problem "buying" movies from iTunes. I then don't have to worry about storing a DVD, or getting a new DVD if the old one gets scratched or otherwise degraded. I don't have to hunt through a DVD binder looking for the movie I want to watch.
I messed with mine for about a day and a half before taking it apart and putting it back together in a solved state. I got my solving time down to just a few minutes that way.
So it's more accurate to say that some coal miners may be able to learn to code: Watch out for those blanket generalizations, they bite back.
If you actually RTFA, you'll see that Bloomburg didn't actually make the blanket generalization he's accused of, he was referring to exactly what you said here: Not all coal miners are fit to be programmers, so to say "just teach them to code and they'll all become programmers" smacks of elitism and a lack of understanding about how the non-tech world works.
To that end, Zuckerburg's quote sounds like it could have come straight from the mouth of Marie Antoinette.
I don't know what the BPPE requires with respect to compliance (article does not say in what way these places are not in compliance), but maybe I want that too.

I fully agree. While at first it sounds like a typical bureaucratic money grab, I'd like to see what laws they're violating before further rushing to judgement.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Anit-Apartheid activist Nelson Mandela was found dead in his South Africa home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in this community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly a South African icon.
I'm not involved with HFT in any way, just playing Devil's Advocate.
Insider Trading == using material non-public information to your advantage when buying / selling securities.
If the information inputs to the HFT algorithms are puplic (not sure if they are or not), wouldn't that make whatever was done with them NOT Insider Trading?
I don't think there's anything to be done other than put your head between your legs and wait for the wreckage of our country to come to a full and complete stop. People in general are too apathetic, there is no fixing this.
I completely agree with you, D3 lost its luster for me when I realized that getting good gear was trivial done by using the AH. Instead of caring about what dropped, the only metric that seemed to matter was gold farmed per hour.
MyFitnessPal allows you to set your activity levels. When I started I chose 'Sedentary' and I left it there for the entire period of my weight loss, as I wanted to err on the side of caution.
After dieting for a while and logging what I ate, I started avoiding calorie dense foods like rice and breads. They put me too close to my daily limit, too fast.
I found myself eating a lot of fresh vegetables and I avoided eating beef (one of the more calorie dense meats). It's really pretty simple.
I have no statistics to back this up, but I'd guess that for the vast majority of people CICO (Calories In Calories Out) works just fine.
As I said in my original post, for the first 15 weeks I did this I lost 30 pounds. The ONLY thing I looked at was how many calories I consumed and I kept my intake at or near what MyFitnessPal suggested. Some days I was over, some days I was under. On average I stuck to the limit and the graph of how much weight I lost was an almost straight line.
My wife had an exactly similar experience. We both started at the same time and after the same period of time passed we had each lost the same amount of weight. Any of my friends that started using the app, and honestly followed the calorie limits saw similar weight loss.

"One shot one kill" was the firearms-related training mantra I heard most often in MC bootcamp.
I meant to say 'incorrectly', as in the OP misunderstood.

You don't own the books, you never did.

Would the cost of that be more or less than the current cost of incarcerating non-violent drug offenders?

More like "could have come straight from whoever originally said 'let them eat cake'". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

Congregating Alone? How's that done?

Guaranteeing the fire just sounds like a simple engineering challenge.

Well to be fair, I doubt they're the exact same assholes.
I was wondering the same thing. I wonder how fast his position on waterboarding would change if he was subjected to it for a while.

Shouldn't that be: "I couldn't care less"?
When I see a wealthy person using kickstarter I just see greed and a complete lack of dedication to their own ideas and abilities.
Isn't it awesome how sweeping generalizations like that are so accurate?

I have never seen a 'forced update' on an iPhone. They are ALWAYS optional.
