And the GP will probably end up handing over double the cost of the phone to the carrier in the process. You don't get a free phone with a contract, that cost is tacked onto the bill and requires a multi year contract.
What they did was they cut funding to the universities because they were viewed as inefficient. The end result was that the University of Washington has turned more and more state residents away so as to attract out of state students which pay a much larger tuition and foreign students who pay a lot more tuition and are unable to get any scholarship money.
And it's not reflexive, sometimes the government really is the problem.
Solid point, this is more of a coup de grace. What they really should be aiming for is the RIAA as that's both more accessible and more in need of a mercy killing.
Video games are a different form of entertainment. I remember playing games in the mid '90s that tried to be movies, but the effect wasn't really that good because they tended to break the immersion at times for me to choose the next segment.
Movies can go places where games never will be able to go because they can pace the movie and they can ensure that right after that big heartbreaking scene that there's some sort of payback. And they can force you to let the story go places that are probably not going to be comfortable in the short term even though they work out in the long term.
It's largely because the government has demanded that colleges behave more like businesses and colleges themselves assume that students have better access to financial aid than they really do. I remember being unable to find a job when I was in college because I would have had to either buy a car or be on financial aid to get one. The coursework I was taking dictated that I had to be on campus in the middle of the night sometimes and bus service was non-existent late at night or early in the morning.
The jobs on campus were pretty much just workstudy jobs and the few non-workstudy jobs were hard to find, assuming one could manage to get hired over the tons of other applicants.
Not really. It's the consequence of having more educated people and the increasingly sophisticated world we live in. It used to be that one didn't have to finish high school to get a decent job, these days those pickings are quite scarce.
I know, let's show those liberals who's boss by never improving ourselves or the world around us in any way, that'll really show them.
What the article really ought to have included was a comparison to those that didn't get a degree at all. Except for humanities/liberal arts and arts all of those rates are below the unemployment rate. For an even more useful view it would be nice to know what it looks like including all the people without jobs, not just the ones that haven't yet given up hope as I'm guessing folks with degrees are less likely to have given up.
You do realize that there are experts that you can hire, right. I'm not personally an expert in motorcycle crashes, but if I ever have one and need to sue, I'm going to hire an expert that knows a hell of a lot more than I do about that.
GP lives in their flight path. Around here it's difficult to impossible to find a place to live where a rather large plane doesn't fly overhead on a regular basis.
The reason why not is that you wind up with the situation where you run out of potential partners or the situation where essentially nobody is married. The latter isn't a problem IMHO, but the former causes real problems. The FLDS had to find reasons for expelling roughly 2/3 of the men so that there would be enough women for them to have the three that was required for their reward. And those young men would be kicked out fairly young with no connections to the outside and basically unable to cope without help.
Not quite, I can't pay my US tax bill in RMB, AUD, Euros or CAD, but I can pay them with USD. It doesn't mean that those other currencies aren't any good, it means that to do something interesting with them I probably have to either convert them or move.
Things like MS' points are basically a way to get you to pay for something with fewer protections so that they have your money and you can't get it back.
No, they do sequels because they don't generally have to sell them. The industry knows who's going to go to see a sequel and how large that audience is and as a result is able to much more accurately gauge the prospects. They won't know whom it is precisely that will go or precisely how many, but they'll have it down pretty good in general.
That being said the studios are always looking for new ideas the big problem they tend to have is that only a fraction of a percent of the ideas they receive are actually worth filming and of those only a fraction of them are going to be memorable.
That's true, however it's not just a matter of length, there's also a requirement for how much light you get through out that time and that's not going to be changing. Sure you're going to have more days between last and first frost, but you're not actually going to be getting any more energy from the sun.
It's politically correct and it's also wrong. If you want there to be fewer people you want there to be fewer born. And the best way to ensure that is to make sure that nobody has to have a dozen babies for a couple to survive to maturity. Which means generous social programs to ensure that children survive to at least adulthood and similar assistance for those entering old age.
And that's been consistent across cultures and continents rich countries have lower birth rates than developing ones.
If you read the article you'd see that it's not a mini ice age so much as it is a short period where the winters are colder than usual. An "ice age" of that magnitude wouldn't be worth worrying about at all. Just make sure that you're providing someplace for the poor and homeless to take shelter and the whole thing will right itself in a few years.
By the time anything we did would have an effect on it we'd already be past it and getting hotter.
Only if they've been farming incompetently. Farmed competently you shouldn't be getting a sizable enough bump in yields with that land to make it worthwhile to move up there if you don't have to.
It's not just the soil that you need for agriculture, you need to worry about what's living in the soil as well as the nutrients. The reality is that you can fertilize the soil or choose crops initially that can work with less fertile land until you've built it up, but it can take a while to get the worms and various microorganisms typically found in good farmland to appear and get established.
Not really, somethings are going to be in the best interest of both sides. The times when it pisses me off the most is with things like DRM where they're screwing over everybody involved for an illusory extra few bucks.
Um, you do realize that the a few state politicians have been bringing this up every session for at least a decade, right? It's just that at this point the only right under state law that hasn't been granted is the right to civil marriage, at this point the best they can do is civil unions.
MS does a lot of shady things, but in this case they're just supporting equality and giving some cover to any GOP pols that might be on the fence; allowing them to claim to be supporting the needs of businesses.
As much as I personally love bashing MS, the reality is that they've had this position for quite a while now. For instance they gave $100k to support Ref 71 which if passed would allow the everything but marriage bill to be enacted. And IIRC that was hardly the first time they supported the general cause of equality for sexual minorities either.
Service animals don't generally try to jump up on me and tend not to run all over the place spreading their dander and proteins every which way. Theoretically it shouldn't be an issue with non-service animals, but in practice many dog owners don't keep their dogs on their leash and don't train them to behave in an orderly way in doors. And it can be really touchy to just ban the animals that are causing the problems without banning all non-service animals from the premises.
Now, outside at the dog park if they want to run all over the place that's perfectly fine, but the allergens can hang around for literally years after that animal leaves the premises. Usually it's a minor annoyance if the office is properly cleaned on a regular basis and doesn't have dogs there constantly. But like at my brother's condo he hasn't had cats in probably 6 months and I'm still having problems if something stirs the allergens out of the carpet.
The worst situation for allergy suffers is if that stuff gets into the ventilation system the first time it's run in the fall. Usually that's a home problem as commercial real estate tends to run AC during the summer and also tends to be ventilated from the ceiling.
But, if you really want to help somebody out breathing, perfumes and related are a much more serious issue. For some of us it just irritates the nose, but for people with full on chemical sensitivity it can be fatal.

Well, there was the one about MS supporting same sex marriage.

There's been a lot of that going around lately. Personally I would have given the GP a +1 for the Men on Film reference there.
