...but have two Gmail accounts for other purposes. I have a TW Business Class account for QOS and trading response. It comes with a static IP and no server restrictions. When my neighbors complain about slow evening and weekend speed, I bob my head up and down and make sympathetic noises. I never see any problem but certainly do pay for it.
Several acquaintances still have Hotmail addresses but a quick scan of my address book only found three. I guess it is diminishing. It seems like they were a lot more common a few year ago.
...entities called "market makers" manipulated the market and made sure that they and their cronies made the lion's share of profits. The market is just different today. It is no better or worse than it has ever been. It is still possible for individual investors to make good money in the market but must educate themselves first. Most retail investors who lose money in the market buy when it is obvious the equity or market is topping, all the smart money has gotten out, and they think they can make a "quick buck." That has always been true and still is. A knowledgeable investor, using relatively inexpensive tools, can make >20% yr/yr, almost regardless of market conditions. Most people will not take the time to educate themselves and avoid emotional responses.
If it can steal blueprints, that is one sophisticated piece of software. It would have to fold them, stuff and seal envelopes, calculate and affix postage and deposit them in the outgoing mail. Wow!
This is a bold, assertive policy that will have a major impact on world peace and stability. You go, Takoma Park, all 17,000 and 2.36 square miles of you.
I was "promoted" to IT Manager when I was a happy, senior sysadmin. I eventually got a little more money than I would have but had to deal with the vilest shit from upper management. Walked out after sixteen years and could not be happier. YMMV
Mr. Ghoshroy has a long record of disagreement with Defense contractors and programs. I am not saying that he is wrong on this one. However, other people do say that he is. To accept Mr. Ghoshroy's assertions without adequate rebuttal or background knowledge is, well, ignant. Note also that Mr. Ghoshroy has been very happy to allow some well known anti-defense agitators to exploit him in the name of making his case. This really has the smell of a personal vendetta. He may be right, but his approach does his credibility no good.
Environmental factors, notably wind, are a much larger factor than barrel perturbations. Modern, precision rifle barrels virtually do not move when heated to the extent of a sniper's fire rate. The much more significant development is the previously reported Lockheed DARPA contract for a wind-detecting Laser sight that superimposes a true aiming point into the field of view. I have made many first-round hits on targets of interest to 1600 meters using old-fashioned experience, estimating wind effect. The Lockheed sight would greatly reduce the possible environmental error.
Systems similar to the Oak Ridge development already exists on long-range tank guns, correcting for the sun's heating, and subsequent bending, of the gun barrel.
The clever Mr. Lovelock, inventor of several useful gadgets, has repeatedly demonstrated very poor judgment. He was wrong about nuclear power, CFCs, and Global Warming causes. Now, he would like it if his superior intellect was recognized, democracy "suspended" and his opinions simply imposed. The problem, as previous poster NiceGeek observed, is that, once given a taste of autocracy, the anointed ones are unlikely to relinquish it.
His arrogance is typical of those who consider themselves superior to the masses. We have another one currently residing in the White House.
The linked article pictures were totally awesome! You can see right where Godzilla came out of the water, stepped on and kicked buildings! That is the coolest thing I have ever seen!
Audiophiles have known for decades that most listeners cannot discern excellent from mediocre music. Most people think that if there is lots of bass and the music is loud without obvious distortion, their system is great.
I work for a defense contractor with a well-deserved reputation for cutting-edge technology. We do seem to discriminate based on age. We only hire the very best recent grads and strongly favor older applicants with great experience and advanced degrees. There is a lot more gray hair here than at a game developer. The difference is: our technology is not used to waste time, but to save lives.
The "Entertainment" industry has "contributed" massive sums to the Democrat party for many years. Did anyone think that there would be no reciprocity? Corporations and wealthy individuals do not make political contributions because they are ideologically motivated. They do it because there will be a return on the investment. Well, here it is.
I agree wholeheartedly and would like to add that libraries do not pay well and do not attract the best and brightest. Even so, this "gentleman" seems particularly dull in not recognizing the importance of constitutional adherence. If he was convinced they were correct, he should have sequestered the machines until the agents obtained an appropriate court order.
Liquid and gas-propelled projectiles are not new and have been used in a variety of weapons for over ninety years. The drawback to this scheme is hydrogen's energy density. It is not even remotely close to single or double-base smokeless propellants. This is unlikely to go anywhere.
The SG's design carries the neck through to the tail, effectively making the instrument one piece with two attached side pieces. This differs from standard Gibson practice, attaching the neck at the heel, as in my ES-335.
Most players feel that this audibly contributes to sustain, enhancing the harmonic effect of Rob's power chords (all three).

Who is this "God" to whom he refers? Baal? Zeus? Jehovah? Sorry. Just too many to track.
Well, we don't try to make laws that impact businesses and taxes in Sacramento. They do that to us routinely, AC asshole.
But, San Diego has many other negative aspects, not least of which is the gaggle of idiots in Sacramento.

...The Man Trap. What could be more appropriate?
Yeah, I think the last time we dealt with the products of angry German scientists, it didn't go well.

If we can find a way to send Al back in time, he can save the Mayans from climate change. PLEASE find a way.

If the offer is reasonable, take it. If you do not, they will probably bury you.
