despite some 22 million emails disappearing and the use of a private email server to conduct official duties.
The GOP set up a private server for party (political) business - don't think the Democrats have their own 'private' email server for democrat party business? Here's a hint, under federal law, neither party can use government resources for political activities - like when Al Gore called Chinese donors from the VP office 'because it was easier' or when Alan Greyson held a interview about his Senate race in his Representative's office.
The 22 million 'disappeared' emails were subsequently found - you somehow forgot to mention that.
And as noted above, the email server the GOP installed was for PARTY work, NOT official gov't work - unfortunately *some* small percentage of the emails on the party server wound up including some official gov't work. It's called human error, and those 'disappeared' emails were eventually submitted to investigators.
Oh, and the 'private' email server was so that Republicans could conduct party (political) business OFF the federal servers. Hillary had a private server to keep all her OFFICIAL emails off government servers - by design - remember the 'gosh, I only did it so I would only have to carry one device' claim?
Basically, perpetual war gives the tax dollars of every American citizen and business directly to the war corporations. They already get a lot, but they wouldn't mind more, like all.
And who makes the munitions bought for the war? American workers - and they tend to be good-paying jobs.
Who shares in the profits from the munitions sales? American investors - large and small, including pension plans and many other retirement funds.
Who gets paid to deploy those munitions? American soldiers - but not nearly enough for the risks they take.
The vast majority of the money 'wasted' on wars never leaves the U.S. Economy, and if we want to rip a page from the Democrat's playbook, every dollar spent on munitions/war materiel generates several times more economic activity, just like dollars spent on welfare, SNAP, unemployment, etc.
This is such an easy problem to fix - simply re-calibrate the salary threshold to today's job market. The salary threshold in the law is static, set at about $65K IIRC (too lazy to look it up) - companies are required to pay these valuable, expert foreign workers the exorbitant salary of $65K, and when passed that was a high income level, now it's what many cities pay teachers with less than 10 years experience.
Increase the salary threshold to it's current equivalent of the original $65K - something north of $125K feels about right.
If anybody takes a look at the major companies (target, home depot, nemum marcus, etc) that were cracked over the last couple of years, nearly all had windows, and all had outsourced to India.
Thank you, Captain Obvious!
The vast majority of companies use Windows - you realize Windows has a 90% market share on desktops, and the great majority of servers (> 50%).
India is the source of (probably) 75-85% of all Tech H1B visa holders, and the location of the vast majority of outsource work on the planet.
Not sure any of the major data breeches were found to have anything to do with foreign workers, the vast majority came from attacking a retail outlet and essentially taking credit card info from the card readers themselves. Sometimes backup tapes are lost, and occasionally actual databases are accessed, but typically the data thieves target credit card data in a store.
And removing cash from vending machine removes maintenance costs: -No emptying bill stackers -No filling change tubes.
Yes, it is a terrible, terrible agony to take all that cash out of your vending machines when you have to visit the vending machine to restock the candy, newspaper, snacks, sodas the machine has sold...
Much better to have easily-audited computer records for every 75 cent candy bar sale so you can be certain you pay all your required taxes on the goods sold. Why would a vending machine operator prefer something as hard to audit as cash?
A while ago there was a glitch with processing EBT cards, the spending limits were not being checked, and EBT shoppers bought as much as they could carry to the register. Once limits were were again being checked, the EBT shoppers abandoned their stuffed carts and went home.
Seems like mainly a way of avoiding the real question. It's pretty obvious what software the OP wants: PC server stuff. Any ideas, or did you just intend to hijack the thread?
What? You don't build a High Perfomance Computer (HPC) to run 'PC Server Stuff'...
But let's say he does, he wants to build a monster PC Server to run 'PC Server Stuff', wouldn't a file server be different from a VM Host, a database server different from a compute server? And what determines how you build up the server? The software you choose to run on it.
Globally averaged surface temperature for 2014 was 0.27Â -0.29Â Celsius (0.49Â-0.52ÂF) above the 1981â"2010 average. Depending on the small differences among different data sets, 2014 was either the warmest or tied-for-warmest year since records began in the mid-to-late 1800s.
Tied for warmest year in the past 200 years... Remind me, how old is the planet? How long has man been on the planet?
We barely have temperature readings from the time of the U.S. revolution... Statistically speaking, that's a very, very small sample size compared to man's time on earth.
Read the article, it's four hours so they can call the cops to evaluate the person. Wanna bet the police with side with the 'medical professionals' and just take you to the psychiatric hospital - can't be blamed for agreeing with a doctor, can they?
This is a power that would be granted to all doctors (podiatrist, heart surgeon, dermatologist, urologist, etc.), not psychiatrists - they already have the ability to detain dangerous patients.
Maybe it's just because the Aurora, CO shooter was convicted this week, but I suspect people are looking for ways to prevent those types of tragedies, presuming there is no other way - there are plenty of ways to evaluate a person for psychological issues:
A parent can submit their child for evaluation A friend or family member can ask the court to intervene A judge can order an evaluation as part of a criminal trial involving the person A school can petition for an evaluation
The Gabby Agiffords was know to be suffering serious mental problems by friends, family, classmates, his school administration and law enforcement event - no one wanted to intervene.
The Sandy Hook shooter had profound mental issues, but he mother tried to keep him 'out of the system' to protect her child from being stigmatized, she paid the ultimate price when her son killed her and stole her weapons.
And so on - the real challenge is people don't want to get involved in other people's problems, don't want to cause problems for their child, sibling, friend, or classmate that is struggling with mental issues.
Nice work, Governor Abbott. Let us know when Texas is ready to join the rest of the world in treating mental issues as a serious problem.
You seem to think that without the ability of a medical doctor to forcebly detain someone they conclude has some vague 'mental issues' for FOUR hours will do something... Why?
Texas has court-ordered psych evaluations, family members can submit relatives for a psych evaluation, and doctors can order a psych evaluation if warranted... Why is it necessary for a podiatrist to be able to detain a patient they feel has 'mental issues'?
Does YOUR local government empower medical doctors to detain patients for four hours because of suspected 'mental issues'? Before you assume yes, look into it - I bet they don't - and for good reason - so hey, "Let us know when your state is ready to join the rest of the world in treating mental issues as a serious problem.
Doctors get an awful lot of trust, much of it deserved and most of it necessary, given what they do, but seeing a doctor shouldn't mean risking my freedom. Even temporarily.
Before this law was considered, a medical doctor that suspects significant untreated mental issues could order a psych evaluation, and a professional psychiatrist would examine the patient and make a determination regarding the threat a patient presents to himself or others. This law would have made the psych evaluation optional, the doctor can force a patient to remain for observation all by himself.
If the railway 'encourages' the use of their power sockets, they could've held liable when a surge fries your device, forcing the Railway to slog through endless complaints and suits for damages, etc.
By labeling the outlets as 'not for use by the public' it neatly avoids all responsibility.
By having a member of 'public' arrested for using said outlets despite clear instructions not to is non-sensical. I doubt it really is against the law in any specific way, more of a 'derived offense' cooked up in the mind of a private security guard.
Wow, by not making payments on debts, they managed to achieve a 'surplus'?! What an accomplishment! NW if they could only find a way to pay for past excesses AND generate a surplus they could be on to something!
Greece defaulted on an IMF loan payment, that makes it impossible to get new loans from the IMF. In a few days they are likely to default on EU loan payment also... But hey, by not paying their bills they generated a 'surplus'!
The Greek economy doesn't work without infusions of outside capital. Where will grace turn to for capital after it defaults on not only the IMF but also the EU?
Once they raise the taxes on cargo ships The fleet owners will move their ships to a more tax-friendly country... Where will Greece get tax revenue from?
Remember how the community exploded when MS announced they'd offer their users the ability to get routes that specifically avoid unsafe/high crime areas?
The council members are also asking for an option that would let truckers stay on known truck routes, hoping that would prevent the problems that arise when big-rigs wander onto streets not large enough to safely accommodate them.
There are already truck GPS units with the ability to route the vehicle safely on roads designed to handle/accommodate a tractor trailer.

Problems occur, and making zero provisions for when a problem eventually does occur will multiply the impact of the problem.

Hearing voices is different than literally oozing a deadly disease out of every pore and orafice on your body.

Your doctor-ordered detainment will be predicated by your response to the question "Do you have any guns at home?"
per train - how many trains does the railroad have in operation at one time?
Times how many rail cars times how many days/year?
If a train has 8 rail cars, and those rail cars are used 365 days/year, then you are talking about $2,500/train per year.
Now how many actual 8 car trains does the railway run? 40? 50?
As the expense exceeds $100K it starts to look like real money.
Curious how you decided English has such a poor showing across the world?
English doesn't have to be your primary language to be fluent in it.
