There's lots of money there, large houses with large yards make for a higher cost per customer to run wires to them, most homes that sit on 5 or more acres don't have broadband because it is not offered.
But you don't own a copy of the game just a nontransferable license you must have forgot to read the size 2 print. Game makers don't think there will be any push-back from consumers as as long as that's the case why would you expect anything else.
The claim is that they falsify the numbers. Not the employer, not the plant, not the government. The worker.
Falsify which numbers? Their SSN? Easily doable, I suppose.
Or were you talking about their dose? Pretty much can't do that, since the dosimeters aren't read by the workers - you turn them in, they get read by a technician elsewhere, the numbers are entered in a database.
Of course, they could just quietly leave their dosimeter outside the work area, but they'll get their asses fired very quickly if discovered. And someone will notice pretty quickly if John Doe consistently gets a lower dosage than the rest of the guys working where he does. And he'll get fired pretty quickly.
Falsifying the SSN may be easy with other jobs but the background check for a nuclear facility is a bit more thorough, the only way this might be possible is if the employment application and NRC paper work are not cross checked.
Radiation work in the US is regulated by the NRC, workers are required to wear a dosimeter that will be analyzed and a report given to the worker annually or however long the dosimeter can collect. All the workers I came in contact with were aware of the risks and the additive nature of the radiation. There is a hard limit that the NRC sets for exposure and once that limit is met the worker is not allowed to come in contact with radioactive materials. Here are the NRC rules pertaining to use of a dosimeter http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part034/part034-0047.html">www.nrc.gov. Companies are motivated two fold to make sure they are in compliance, first deliberately breaking these rules will result in lose of license and probably jail time for many of the people, secondly this would be a lawyers wet dream to get a class action suit against an evil company that was exposing its employees to radiation.
Old hardware does not effect logic or the skills needed to program, those skills carry over language to language, it is not the syntax that is important just the reasoning ability, it's why a proficient programmer can learn a new language in a few months. The reason every student shouldn't take a programming course is because that course would not give students essential skills that a majority of them will use. Most of these skills are touched upon in math classes and the redundancy of a programming class will not add much for the students that go on to unrelated work. All that is needed is more of the logic and reasoning skills to be taught in math classes, just a tweak of the curriculum.
Um, except that isn't what happened. He was on his way to speak for the March of Life, not to participate in any sort of congressional proceedings. I don't like the TSA's procedures, but this situation was handled exactly the way it should have been handled, and there is absolutely no reason that the law should have given Paul the ability to bypass the safety requirements enforced for everyone else.
The Senate is in session TODAY starting at 2pm and votes are scheduled at 4:30pm TODAY, so that excuse brought to you by the TSA is out the window. The part of the constitution where the TSA may be able to squeak by is that he was not held, was he allowed to leave immediately after the scanner failed or was he taken to a room, if it can be proved that he was not free to leave then the TSA was in violation of Article 1, section 6 of the constitution.
That makes no sense at all. A closed loop won't get rid of heat, just transport it. There must be a system which exchanges the heat out of the water to the environment. Maybe a radiator system, maybe a chiller, maybe an evaporative cooling system.
Or maybe it's not really a closed loop?
The article is light on details as to how it actually works but there are many different ways one is simply running pipes into the ground and back up for the heat transfer, another way is to run the closed loop around the main water line slightly increasing the temperature of the tap water but bringing the loop temperature down significantly, a the third way is to pump water out of an aquifer and run it through your closed loop and back into the aquifer. Any of these systems will work, the closed loop into the ground will have a problem with heating up the surrounding earth since unlike geothermal cooling and heating there is only hot water going into the ground and the loop would have to be massive to be able to shed the heat naturally. The aquifer should not have this problem as long as it is large enough to disperse the excess heat.
I agree. But I would prefer a puzzle to questions like "where do you see yourself in 5 years" and "what are your goals". I want to answer "My goal is to get hired. Why else would I answer such stupid questions?"
Those questions are more pertinent to MBA's where your ability to pile on BS in a believable way is an important skill.
Depending on the exact wording of the telecom laws in the UK this may be illegal, they are listing in on phone conversations even if it is just to get the phone id number.
Parry with an A Gate is a reference to Stephen Colbert poking fun at the fact that Republican straw polls (like the primaries) are not official events and therefore not subject to the same oversight rules.
In 2000 the US Supreme Court ordered Florida to stop counting votes and the results never were properly tallied (Even George W Bush signed legislation as Governor of Texas declaring hand recounts to be the preferred method to resolve discrepancies. Why his campaign went to the US Supreme court to interfere with Florida's decision to do the same is beyond me. So much for States' rights). I assumed this is what OP was referring to.
I'm sorry you find these facts to be so disturbing. Mod away.
It's probably because instead of adding anything of value top the discussion you decided to go go on a Bush stole the election rant.
They should have teamed up with the GOP instead. I know one of the OWS organizers (he handles their money) and their beliefs are surprisingly in common with the Tea party before it was co-opted by Palin and other GOP leaders.
A biggie that they both want is less money in politics.
The OWS protesters and tea party are outraged by the corporate favoritism and that is where the similarities end. The OWS main message was large companies are evil and are responsible for the financial problems where as the tea party put the blame on the government. The tea party still stay true to that same message and support candidates that align themselves with those ideologies (Palin, Paul, Bachmann,...) , which is why Ron Paul is doing so well.
As I understand it this is how it works, they give cows and pigs antibiotics in low doses so they won't get sick in the crowded feeding yards. There is not a problem with the bacteria in cows and pigs being resistant because properly handling and cooking the meat will kill the bacteria, and sick animals are treated before they are slaughtered. However the antibiotics are still in the cows and pigs and are passed on to the consumer, at those low doses bacteria will not be completely eliminated and can become resistant to them. Once the person is sick they will spread the more resistant bacteria to anyone they come in contact with. So it's not a problem that the vegetarians are immune too, vegetarians can't make the bacteria any stronger, but still can get the illness.
So you claim your sister is lazy, has no desire to better herself, doesn't think eating healthy is important, and thus deliberately mal-nourishes her children.
That reeks of bullshit if you ask me.
But lets for a second assume its all true -- how do you propose we solve it? Oh, wait... you don't. In fact you vehemently are opposed to doing anything to solve it, even for your own sister.
And you think her priorities are out of whack?
My priorities are not out of whack, I'm just not arrogant enough to think helping people that don't want it will make a difference.
Most of the poor live near where they work, my sister in law is not exception living a mere 3 minutes walking time from her job as a hostess. McDonalds is not a treat it is a way of life for them. I am not saying for one second that the poor should devote all their free time to bettering them selves but when most work less then 40 hours they should have time to spend a few hours a week making food for their children. If they don't think it is a priority to put healthy food into their children's bellies then why should we? Why should the government take more of my hard earned income to better another persons life that has no desire to better it themselves?
Most people on food stamps are working an have a household income in the rage of 20-30k, fast food is a frequently purchased by people at that income level. My sister in law is on food stamps and takes her 4 kids to McDonalds 2 or 3 times a week, she could be using that money to buy healthier food to prepare at home but chooses not to because she is lazy. Cost is not the determining factor when most people like her make food decisions, her reasoning is why waste an hour preparing a meal when a meal the same price takes no time at all.
His employer would be entitled to the code at no extra cost since these criteria are met: I'm assuming US labor laws. 1st if the "work he did is directly related to employment" this would defiantly meet the requirements in this case. 2nd he is qualified as an exempt employee which has 3 requirements he makes more then 24k a year, is paid on a salary basis, and performs executive job duties (hire/fire employees), professional job duties (doctors, lawyers, engineers,...), or Administrative job duties, this would include network admins. There are also another set of exemptions for computer workers that includes programmers, system analyst, and software engineers, for them to be exempt they need no be paid a salary to qualify just 24K salary or $27.63/hour. Legally he has no ground to stand on but the company can still reimburse him with a bonus/paid for his work. Where I work we are all exempt employees (professional/computer exemption) but our employer pays us flat time for extra hours worked this is done mostly for travel when 80 hour weeks for two-three weeks straight are not out of the question and rewarding employees for their hard work makes sense.
Using projections like that is what got solar power in trouble in the first place, they based their production or growth that did not happen, over produced slashed prices to recoup some costs, and finally collapsed. The only reason they didn't collapse sooner is because they were subsidized and were propped up by the tax payers.
Satellites in geosynchronous orbit make poor spy satellites, for one they are stationary in relation to the ground so you have to look at an angle to see anything increasing the atmospheric distortion, they are also up much higher which also increases the distortion, and thirdly because they are stationary they are much easier targets for satellite weapons as height is their only protection. While permanently positioning a satellite over a test bed would seem like a great idea, either the test site is compromised or closed, the truth is that a high enough resolution can not be obtained with all the atmosphere to account for.
Caucuses are a bad idea to begin with. They value a better organized/paid for campaign over a better candidate. Also, why are Iowa and New Hampshire so special that they get to vote first and eliminate candidtes that may do better in other areas? The first primaries should be done on a rotating basis.
The truth of it is you need a good organized campaign to win the nomination, a poorly run campaign will sink you, all the early caucuses do is let donors save their money on candidates that will not win. Most candidates will not drop out unless they are below 1%, or if their campaign was tight on money, they will stick it out until super Tuesday that is typically when 2 or 3 candidates are left. Yes Iowa, Wyoming, and New Hampshire get a bigger say in the primary but truthfully it's just to make them feel like they have a voice as they will be ignored for the next 4 years.
Most ships would not be allowed in claimed waters if they had weapons. Its part of the strange rules that govern sailing vessels and make them prime targets for pirates.
You do realize that without hunting the deer population in the US would be at a dangerous level, overpopulation due to lack of predators will lead to the thinning of the heard by disease, starvation, and automobiles, or did your PETA comrades leave that out in your brain washing. Wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, and bobcats have all been pushed out and there are not enough predators to control populations, hunting is the substitute for natural predators. For the record I do not hunt but think it is ignorant to think everyone goes out hunting to get their rocks off, a deer can yield 40-60lbs of meat that could easily feed a family of 4 for over a month.

It says it's a closed loop of groundwater?
