You beat me to it.
It is payroll.
Fire all the payroll staff at the university campuses.
Switch to ADP.
The University has special requirements? Horsepucky.
The only special requirement they have is to spend $30.4M.
I'm sure the combined salary and benefits of the payroll staff
and IT people responsible would more than cover the cost of ADP.
Our competitors measure their performance by time to close tickets.
They are consistently rated worst in support.
We use surveys. Simple questions like: Was your problem resolved?
Was it resolved promptly?
We are consistently rated best in support.
They may successfully grab the money of these unfortunates, but then
people will stop depositing winnings in US banks. The internet does not

"The difference between newspapers and random hearsay is (in the best cases) a lot of effort in developing broad and balanced sources, fact checking, having an editorial process for some degree of fairness and accuracy (as much as that's suffered in the past decade) and generally putting out a "report" on a subject (that's why we call them reporters)."
What newspaper(s) do you read? I think this description covers a few newspapers.
It certainly doesn't have anything to do with the local papers where I lived for
the past twenty years.
I remember an example of bloggers doing the job you describe above when
all mainstream media had failed to do so. Here is a link to a mainstream media
report on the incident:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14148-2005Feb10.html
I think the few newspapers that produce quality content can switch to
on-line models that will allow them to make money. Since most produce
nothing of value (they may regurgitate politicians nonsense or AP reports)
they will not be able to extract revenue.
Why use paint?
If you view the video of Dr. Chu's speech in the actual article,
he does not say to paint anything.
Simply using white or light colored roofing materials on
new or replacement roofs does the trick.
"America let itself be bribed into accepting a scam has a religion"
Why are you bring Fundamentalist Christians and Televangelists into
this discussion?
"France maintained its integrity."
Do you mean France's integrity with the Catholic Church?
Creationists argue that speciation has never been seen.
Like most things that creationists argue this is pure
nonsense. There are many species of wheat:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat
Many of these arose during human history. They do not
and can not interbread. To quote: "Hexaploid wheats evolved
in farmers' fields. Either domesticated emmer or durum wheat
hybridized with yet another wild diploid grass (Aegilops tauschii)
to make the hexaploid wheats, spelt wheat and bread wheat.
Once a creationist argued with me that we could not have evolved
from monkeys because monkeys have three chambered hearts. Monkeys,
like all mammals have four chambered hearts and evolutionists
do not argue that we evolved from monkeys.
Perhaps. There are distinct populations of animals
separated by geography that do not interbreed that
are considered separate species. I seem to remember
two "species" of chipmunk separated by the Grand
Canyon. They look slightly different.
Perhaps if one of the species of chipmunks developed
the technology to regularly cross the grand canyon,
they would interbreed and create viable offspring.
Then they would have to be reclassified.
The differentiation of species among very very similar
organisms is somewhat subjective.
Coyotes, Canis latrans and Gray Wolves, Canis lupus
are considered different species. Domestic Dogs,
Canis lupus familiaris are considered a subspecies
of wolves. Yet most North American Wolves now have
some Coyote genes.
The definition of species is based on whether or not
individuals from two populations normally breed and
produce viable offspring _in_the_wild_.
Some populations that are considered different species
can interbreed and produce viable offspring in captivity.
Going after Craig'sList is a way for politicians
and police to appear to be doing something so that
people don't notice that they are not doing their jobs.
If I was an officer of the law and I wanted to stop
prostitution, I'd start contacting every advertiser
in the erotic services section and arrange a meeting.
Go to the meeting, arrest them.
Your generalization of what women like is erroneous because
your sample space is obviously skewed by your
personal preferences which were probably influenced by
the environment you were brought up in.
At many large companies having only a bachelors degree will
limit your advancement. If you specialize in an area that you
really like and are lucky enough to get a job in the same
field a Masters can translate into a lot more money and opportunity.
The company I work for hires Masters graduates a full job grade
above Bachelors. If the Masters student has specialized in the
area they will be working on when they start, they are hired two
job grades above the Bachelors.
You're saying you ship a product with so many crashes that you can't possible fix them all quickly?
We are not just talking bugs. To quote the
original post the tool "combs through bugs that cause a program to seize up, and assesses the likelihood of them being exploited by attackers".
You're fired.
This tool "combs through bugs that cause a program to seize up, and assesses the likelihood of them being exploited by attackers". So we then decide whether to fix the crash or not based on whether the crash is exploitable? Anyone that buys this idea is fired.
I suspect that this move has nothing to do with cost reduction or moving jobs overseas.
Intel(microprocessors) and TSMC operate in different markets. This is a way for Intel
to compete with ARM (and others) in the embedded
space to prevent ARM from eating them up from
below via mobile applications.
There are parts of Intel that make things
other than microprocessors. I think you might
find that they have used non-Intel fabs for some
time.
Personally I can't wait to get my Atom and
NVidia GeForce 9400 on one chip.
I suspect the problem isn't the dog
but the roommate. Rat Terriers are
usually stubborn and intelligent which
makes the difficult to train.
But ours is trained quite well. You
just have to be smarter and more
stubborn than the dog.

See reply from guruevi (827432) http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1264595cid=28289153 Having an offshore account isn't as expensive or difficult as you might. Having an anonymous account in a tax-haven might be.

I think Intel acquired the rights to StrongARM by acquiring a company.
I suspect that this move has nothing to do with cost reduction or moving jobs overseas. Intel(microprocessors) and TSMC operate in different markets.

My Rat Terrier will effectively tear apart your building to get to the rats. Of course, that can be a little hard on your cables and optical fiber.
