    sorry. my company runs a recruiting division. You realize for any one real job there are a dozen other recruiters who see it and post something slightly different, in the hopes that if a candidate contacts them they can then "sell" the contact to what they hope is the original job source? all those dice and monster listings are mostly that type of bullshit virtual job. It's a huge mistake to assume Dice listings indicate actual demand or percent of industry use.

    no, the point was the particular composites Boeing has made have more problems than other smaller aircraft's.

    and let's deal with your Hollywood inspired total misconceptions. the truth is, contrary to Hollywood movies, you can shoot a jet's fuselage full of holes with handgun and no one will die and the cabin won't even depressurize, the pressure system can easily compensate for that . You can shoot a window and no one will be sucked out "Goldfinger" style. That's why air marshalls use standard ammo and not frangible "safety slugs".

    that meme only applies to stress puppies. I've noticed sales and marketing and most executives live that way, shrieking and arms flapping and spittle flying over every minute incident. sucks to be them, but then they exist solely for the entertainment of normal level-headed people.

  10. Re:Was it really 5 million years ago? on Mediterranean Might Have Filled In Months · · Score: 2, Informative

    but it is indeed based on assumptions, and the actual parent post is in the scientific spirit, while replies such as yours are in the "prestigious people said so, thus it must be true" category. If you delve to the root of the generally accepted age of the earth, you will find statement such as "The best age for the Earth comes not from dating individual rocks but by considering the Earth and meteorites as part of the same evolving system in which the isotopic composition of lead, specifically the ratio of lead-207 to lead-206 changes over time owing to the decay of radioactive uranium-235 and uranium-238".

    in other words, most of solar system considered to have about the same age (an assumption with some evidence suggesting it likely is true), and the decay of isotopes used to date not being affected by any outside source during that time (another assumption with good evidence, but perhaps unknown forces in Universe modified decay rates at certain times?)

    no wailing, the complaint of "climatologists" from 1992 to 2005 was that Antarctica was gaining weight because of global warming causing increased precipitation. Now they want to whine when they claim its losing.

    but some of us have memories. over last ten years, we remember when there was increased rain and hurricane intensity and they cooked their climate models to say that's because of global warming. then there was drought and they cooked their models again and said see, it's because of global warming. then there was drought in some places and rain in others, and once again they came forth with new models to prove that was because of global warming.

    where is your evidence of "anthropogenic change", you are aware we are now at 1934 levels of average global temperature and *falling*. Why is the scientific method and uncooked data so hard for the climate alarmists to understand?

    And sea levels have been rising for the past 10,000 years, for most of that far more rapidly than today, good thing the rate decreased a couple thousand years ago. Again, what is so hard to understand?

    And the Antarctic ice has been *building* since the 1960s, save for on the peninsula (half of one percent of the land mass) the alarmists have cherry-picked as their "poles are melting" wailing sound bite.
