Americans more than repaid their help with liberating their country from Nazi Germany?
And in doing so, very convientantly fought a war against Germany which was inveitable (or at least looked that way to American political elite of the time) well away from American soil and while Germany was already fighting on multiple fronts
I'm not saying American involvment in the war wasn't decisive from an industrial and manpower point of view, but Americas entry at the time it did was also about the most advantagous time to enter if a American/German war was going to happen - albeit, a American/German war would have probably been much later.
We already pump oil across continents, if cheap plentiful energy, just setup desalination plants on the coast and pump the fresh water to where its needed.

Why? What specifically is valuable about people who know me? How does who I know affect how well I can do my job?
Coming from an IT background, we view work as something which we can personally accomplish. It's what we know and how we apply it which is important.
But there are many roles, especially high up the corporate ladder, where it's who you know which becomes important not what you know. Maybe IT guys aren't really the main market for Linked In.
The problem with massive arrays of otherwise unused areas is the lack of global electricity grid to deliver the power from, for example, the desert to where the big cities are without massive losses on the way.
A space based power system has the advantage that the receiver can be placed near (*1) the population centers.
note 1: as near if not nearer than a nuclear power station for example.
It will always cost more to farm in a sky scraper than on the ground, so they won't be able to compete in the global market against traditional farms.
That assumes that moving 1000 of tons of food stuff long distances every day is always going to be cheap which in a world of finite fossil fuels is a risky strategy.
These pods look cute and all, but do they really do anything that trains and buses don't? The trains at SFO and SeaTac do a great job.
I think the main point of these is that the pod goes straight to the destination station without having to stop at every station in between, meaning much shorter journey times with a finer level of control over scheduling.
The problem is not absolute temperature, it the difference between what is expected and the actual temperature was.
The supply of seasoned wood would not have been large enough to last a longer colder than expected winter. Similar for food supplies for both people and livestock.
Barns would not have been build with thermal insulation as a primary concern, far more important would have been rain proofing and making sure enough air gets in to prevent suffication so a very cold snap would have caused serious issues for livestock welfare.
The same people who predicted mass starvation in the 70s are now predicting massive climate change.
Pedantic I know, but Susan Solomon was born in 1956 and would have been 14 at the start of the 70's. I think it might be at least two different people predicting two different things in two different periods of time.
The CEOP are not the police, as best as I can make out they are a private company working mainly with other organisations, they do however have a few embedded police officers working in their teams.
Or do you suck it up, take whatever's paying, cash in some of your seniority for easily out competing everyone else for a more junior job that pays now and doesn't leave that hole?
The problem with that is that employers aren't stupid. They know if they hire a senior anything in a position which would normally be filled by someone with a years experience, the moment the economy even start to recover that formerly senior engineer is going to leave.
So why would they hire an experienced employee with all the fixed costs that includes to start with?
more like the RIAA has realized that trying to stuff cats into a bag like they are trying to do prosecuting individual uploaders is not effective method of getting people to buy more stuff.
If you get Internet (or phone) without TV, they install a TV filter on your line.
Which suggests there should be a slightly higher installation fee but not a recurring payment, unless they are sticking a new filter on every month (maybe they get clogged with electons?)
because the majority of cops don't have the skills to forensically analyse a computer.
Most don't have the skills to find and analysis DNA evidence either. Perhaps some sort of specialist service is in order similar to the Scientific Support Services rather than a gadget which I really doubt is going to be find anything but keyword list comparison finding a folder listed as 'kiddy porn'.
The resonance effect was considered but they forgot about the human factor.
They assumed that the footfalls of the people crossing would effectively be random, but when people walk close to each other they start walking in time with each other, that was enough to start a small wobble in the bridge, which eventually everyone on the bridge started walking in time with increasing the effect even further.
They will never find the convenience of never having to charge your phone is worth more because all the things you propose dropping are a possible source of revenue for them.
The UK government tried that, but it backed out of the commitment just as the prices started to bite because the price of crude starting going up faster than the tax would have done.
Although personally I feel that was a convenient escape point for something the government realised wasn't changing public buying habits but was cost a lot of political ill-will.

Fixed that for you. Shell don't need cheap oil, only oil that they can sell at a health margin.

those 3,213 employees are the ones who are blacklisted, that doesn't mean the employers are only checking 3213 potential employees.
and before anyone says those 3213 employees had it coming for being trouble makers - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7928331.stm

In which case, it's the use of Windows which is important regardless of whether it's a legal or pirated copy of windows being used.
IT is a higher level job? I don't think a lot of management see us like that.

yeah, but the tingling sensation is exciting.
Is the Solar System moving through the galaxy? or are we just stuck at the end of an arm which is rotating with the galaxy?
