    If its anything like Canada, they will have a list of sellers that they are allowed to buy pencils and books from. These people bid for that, and you as a employee will have to ask a purchaser for your department to acquire said goods.

    In Canada nothing is paid for with paper money, its all credit, checks (and slow phasing out a kind of money order).

  6. Re:Meh. Call me when they've stopped keyword spam on Yes, Google Does De-List Pages; But When? · · Score: 1

    Not a bug, they do this to get indexed on Google. If they didn't do that they would be providing different results to users and Google, which is a no no for Google.

    Once I realized this, I've found you can actually find some good answers on the site.

    1,2,3) This was disabling of radar, as someone mentioned earlier radar has to receive, thus it could be possible to send a code that would disable the equipment, plausible at least.

    4,5) This was US or Russian equipment, I highly doubt Syria gave specifications to either. They bought what was available from whoever they bought it from.

    Did you miss this part from his post?

    Using Census.gov on counties and population density [census.gov] as the base, that leaves out the following counties: Allegany County, Herkimer County, St, Lawrence County, Delaware County, Franklin County, Essex County, Lewis County, Hamilton County. Total population missing out: 396,648 (2.03%).

    Thats the only part of New York state lower than 50/sq mile, which is higher than the 40/sq mile of Finland.

    Actually I find a lot of the time I do find the answer I want on a Expert Exchange link, you just need to scroll down to the bottom of the page (past the, please sign up stuff) to see the results.

    I assume they had to do this so Google would continue to index their site (ie showing content to google, but not to people)

    Like it or not, today's kids already know far, far more about technology than their teachers

    I use to think this too, but then I realized most kids know more about gadgets or how to use the latest tech "thing" but most kids have no idea why it works, or how to fix it if something is wrong.
