Many of us "millenials" may want more from our job. Is this entirely unreasonable? No. Because we have university degrees....
If one is entry level in a field where a degree is now required, (such as IT), one is entitled to entry level pay and benefits, regardless of what one's parents generation received when they entered the field with its requirements at that time. If one thinks one is underpaid, one has the option of obtaining employment elsewhere. If all employers are underpaying, then one has misjudged one's market value.
...Truly, like so many of our leaders, this Every One character is simply an influential dullard.
It's sort of expected. Every One's brother No was looking out for him, so Every One got all of the good press. When things went well, Every One claimed responsibility. When things when poorly, No One accepted the blame.
...The full version from the Wikipedia article is "cool the seeds to the internationally-recommended standard 20 to 30 C."...
That's rather warm, and I would expect that heating costs would exceed cooling costs to maintain that temperature at that latitude. I could be wrong, though.
Sort of like most laws designed to prevent people from doing things that might allow them to commit a crime.
I'm a bit of a fan of punishing those who have been duly convicted and leaving everyone else to go about their business.
You'll never get elected to office with that platform - those wishing to control everyone's life for the good of everyone will be upset that you don't agree, the "bleeding hearts" will be upset that you actually punish (vice rehabilitate) those that have been convicted, and the "if you don't have anything to hide, you wouldn't mind us violating the fourth and fifth amendments" crowd will be upset that you don't support Big Brother.
Agreed, I mean we have how many hundreds of thousands who make it across the mexican border every year? The Canadian border is even worse security wise too.
This really only hurts the law abiding. (my emphasis)
Smith's proof will be published in the journal Complex Systems.
Meaning it had not yet been peer reviewed.
On the contrary, if a result "will be published", then there is every reason to believe that it has been peer-reviewed.
My understanding was that the purpose of publishing is peer review. Once published, a peer can replicate the methods and obtain the same results, (or not,) see the process, logic, and methods, and agree or disagree with the findings. Is my understanding wrong?
...Just like airlines have to cater to the public beyond just "market demands", because they are subsidized by my tax dollars.
I don't think it works that way with U.S. airlines and domestic routes, at least not since deregulation. Airports are almost always paid for by the government, and airlines fly the routes they choose to fly between those airports. If I recall correctly, if an otherwise unprofitable route is deemed necessary by the government for the needs of the public, the government ensures the airports are capable, and may encourage traffic by providing a subsidy for that route. If we start talking about international flights, the freedoms, bilateral agreements, etc., all bets are off.
On the other hand, if a U.S. airline is about to go under, the U.S. government is not unwilling to give them grants or loans to ensure that their employees don't end up unemployed and voting for the other team. The government doesn't force them to service unprofitable routes in that case, as far as I know.
I could be wrong, though - It's been awhile since I sat through the relevant classes, and hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will correct me if/where I am mistaken.
They generally form in the Northern hemisphere on the eastern costs of large continents, and in the Southern hemisohere on the Western coasts of continents, due to the coriolois forces.
If I recall correctly, you are mistaken. Tropical systems need a very weak coriolis force to form, and form in the tropics due to the energy present over warm water, not due to an interaction involving the land/water interface and the Coriolis force. Although the rotation due to the Coriolis effect is in the opposite direction, (comparing clockwise to counter/anti-clockwise, Northern to Southern Hemisphere,) the general circulation is the same. So, the North/South path/tendency is reversed between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, not the East/West path/tendency. Mid latitude storms move from the West to the East in both hemispheres, and tropical systems move East to West until they recurve and then move West to East, while gradually drifting poleward. The major oceanic currents flow westward near the Equator, then poleward, then westward, then equatorward. So, tropical systems would generally be expected to form where the water is the warmest, which would be on the western, equatorward side of ocean currents.
I could be wrong, though, since I am not a Tropical Meteorologist. But I DID drive by a Holiday Inn Express some time in the past.
They resisted when they had plenty of money during the Good Times, Bad Times currently prevail, though.
They wanted to ensure that The Song Remains the Same during the analog to digital conversion.
They wanted to do it earlier, but there was a Communication Breakdown - during the discussions, it seemed that one of the parties would just Ramble On.
They weren't sure what the analog to digital conversion would do to their Rock and Roll, and were considering Going to California to get it all straightened out.
That's kind of like saying rape doesn't hurt much, if you don't resist.
I don't agree. In this case, the person could have obeyed the law, and suffered no mental or physical harm. In your example, the mental harm is going to happen in any case, and the lack of resistance does not guarantee that no physical harm will occur.
I know that a lot of folks aren't real fond of the police. That doesn't make it smart, legal, or within one's rights to resist arrest.
...Actually, the only thing I had a problem with in this whole situation was that the police hit him with a taser. There were plenty of police to drag him out if they wanted to. A taser isn't supposed to be used as a cattle prod...
If I recall correctly, (from a friend of mine who works in law enforcement,) the taser is used to gain compliance with instructions, much as a cattle prod is used to influence cattle behavior. Comply with the instructions from the police, and the police are in the wrong if they use a taser. If you refuse to comply with instructions, the use of the taser, pepper spray, and/or baton becomes justified.
I could be wrong - I am not in law or law enforcement.
what would be cheaper, designing and launching 10 probes, or just saving cash and designing and launching a single manned mission?
For cost efficiency, one could launch all ten surface probes and one mother-probe on one or two launches. The mother probe stays in orbit while the surface probes collect soil from their assigned areas. After collecting samples, the surface probes launch back into orbit, transfer the soil samples to the mother ship, and then enter a decaying orbit. Mothership brings ten (or likely less) soil samples back. I'm not a rocket scientist or spacecraft engineer, but I think that particular scenario would be cheaper than sending even one human.
On the other hand, I believe we do need to get humans to Mars as a step toward further space exploration, so that human would get sent, anyway, and thus no real cost saving exist (outside of safety issues) by sending probes. The astronaut(s) would probably feel a lot better if he/she knew what the soil was like, first, though.
if you honestly believe you have a limited number of choices in styles of cars and music, you're just ignorant. there are hundreds of very different models of cars, trucks, vans, minivans, and SUV's, etc out there.
Although there are a large number of automobile makes and models, the choices are still somewhat limited. For instance, How many current car models are rear-wheel drive, two door, manual transmission, affordable, with a conservative appearance and seating for four or five? How many passenger vehicles are available (in the US, where I live,) with a turbo-diesel instead of gasoline engine?
And no, I don't listen to Pop. But that doesn't mean I am not aware of how the music business operates.
...They want everyone just to listen to the same pop crap they forcefeed us all, and if you don't like it, well, don't listen to anything at all. There is no room in their business model for people who like x type of music and other people who like y...
Change a few words, and it applies to the automobile industry as well, and probably a lot of others. Too many industries have decided that marketing means making the people want what we want to sell, instead of selling what the people want.
You can get everything to build a Bradley Aerobat (very similar to a Teenie Two,) for less than $20,000, and since you build it yourself, you are qualified as your own mechanic. There are/were some on eBay for less than $10,000, but that is a non-turbo version.
If MS made an OS that was fast, efficient, stable, and supported the hardware most folks desired, there would be no reason for customers to buy the next OS when it came out. So, to support their business model, each OS has to be slightly behind for its time, either by speed, stability, or hardware support, so consumers have a reason to buy the next OS (or PC with the new OS) when it comes out.
Or I could have this all wrong, and be corrected below.

My thoughts on possible reasons:
United Airlines N666UA on Airliners.net.
Thanks. It must be from being married at the same place as his last marriage, just a few days later, at least according to their staff.
If we get rid of dummies in the front seat, half of the cars on my way to work would be driverless.

There is a high-density, single class version of the A380 planned which will top out with over a grand crew and pax.
