If you want, you can group by subject (Sun Spots, Solar Wind, Solar Flares) and then by author within that. Depends on how broad the topics span and how many papers you have. com,2009:/NewZealandmoved12inchesclosertoAustralialastT hursdayhttpnewsyahoocomsafp20090722 2009-07-22T17:35:00Z <table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0><tr><td valign=top>7/22 </td><td colspan=4 bgcolor=#e5ebf5 width=100%> New Zealand moved 12 inches closer to Australia last Thursday! There are more Nikon cameras that went to outer space than any other brand. Canon was the first to forego tradition and reimplemented their autofocus lenses (motor in-lens, diaphragm in-lens), first to implement in-lens image stabilization, first to implement live-view, first to create an affordable full- frame camera (5D), first everything. Nikon usually lags behind, but they have much higher built quality and lasts in battlefields. ogg</a> (NSFW) To me it seems contrived that she would be curling her hair in the nude right in front of a peephole right when this jackass filmed her. My 2nd-gen Prius (not the 2010) accelerates on the on-ramps fine. Furthermore, people get angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that). I don't think the threading model you implement is the damning feature.. The problems come because its completely deterministic, so logical race condition bugs will either always or never appear. Also, you rely on Java happy fun time and don't have to implement dynamic memory management, which I think is the biggest gap in the course. You don't implement malloc() or free() (nor even discuss how to do so in the class). Java isn't a problem because students have limited time to do lots of work for the class anyway. My brother has a lot of tattoos and piercings and for a while he lived with me. During that time he brought home or dated all manner of women of questionable character. They were pleasant to look at, but they had issues and were all kinds of crazy. Openly gathering phone numbers from men at the bar where you both arrived together? Taking their tops off in public (this sounds nice in theory but it can be rather embarrassing). Stealing money and electronics from you while you are in the shower after a shag? I was envious when he brought them home (once there were two Hooters waitresses who came out of his room with only towels on) but I was mostly glad when they left and he would be the first to say he is sick of that shit and wants to find a nice girl to marry and have kids with. If you want to date such women look for tattoos, fake tits, slutty dress like high platform shoes and tops with no bra. They'll be into you if you drink a lot, buy them drugs, do exciting activities like dirt bike, and look the other way when they hook up with their ex-bf after a night of drinking. You can look forward to hot sex, drama, diseases like hepatitis and/or mononucleosis, and possibly an occasional night in jail. I think some of his characterizations are dead wrong and others 100% correct, but I don't sense misogyny here. There is some maybe in the comments, but not the original article. For instance, the present of tattoos (or not) is not misogynistic. csua providing status, could there be a text file with current status and future plans. I'm wondering if SpamAssassin is obsolete (and my procmailrc and scripts) and won't be restored, and what's filtering spam now. I've seen tons of fat, poorly-aging people in the midwest. they're also more pure, genetically and healthier because they don't have as much pollutants as the people in San Francisco. It is left as an excercise for the reader to figure out why. Along the East coast and mid-Atlantic you have overachieving women who act like men and wear no makeup. On the West coast women are more casual in their dress and appearance. Only in-between do women dress and act like men expect women to (in a stereotypical way). Might be worth waiting a few days to see how it shakes out. My sister-in-law does all of the above, even going so far as to text her kid while she is away. These things have their place, but should not supplant traditional interaction in person or, if need be, telephone. You are wasting time with your Facebook friends you could be spending with real people. And people who do a lot of Facebooking (that I know anyway) definitely do something similar. The minitruth released that they upped our char limit to 140! Either that or the over 18 year old person is most likely immature and/or trying to fit in with the crowd or just like to waste time. Just realise that not everything is about you and be okay with it. Maybe the potholder she's looking at reminds her of when her cat died when she was eight. I also like the technique of apologizing for things which logically couldn't possibly be your fault. Use sparingly or you will be accused of being patronizing. I tend to defend myself and my position and when she is right, I take it to heart and try and change my habits so that it won't be an issue in the beginning. If she is just being unreasonable I tell her and then grovel until it blows over. I don't have the best success with women though :) In the best relationships I've had I just had to lick the clit. I only have to do this a few times a year, but it is better than a pointless argument. Especially when the 28/hr includes cost of benefits (any 401k matching? My mom used to work in management at a bank, both in retail and at data/call centers. They could find plenty of labor for $14/hour and those jobs have a lot more responsibilities than a janitor does. My niece is assistant manager of an Old Navy while she works her way through college and she doesn't even make $20/hour. There is no shortage of people willing to work for $15-20/hour. Go to your local Taco Bell and ask if any employees want a benefitted janitor job that puts $18/hour in their pockets. What was the area unemployment rate before the Bush Depression? Unless you think we are in a permanent state of 10%+ unemployment, it is a bad idea to whipsaw your employees like this. |
| csua.com/24/?incr=1 org/u/e6u (article from Atlantic Monthly) 12/5 My WinXP laptop sometimes doesn't come out of hibernate. doing the resume thing, but the login screen never shows up. I'm guessing maybe if I waited long enough, it would eventually come up, but I've been too lazy to wait for hours (I've tried 30-60 minutes). org/u/e6p "A jury next year will decide how much the county must pay for the land, unless the owners agree on a sale price. "Gidaro's group bought the property last year for $60 million from National Gas and Energy Transmission, a successor to PG&E Properties. The Rumsey Band of Wintun Indians, which operates the Cache Creek Casino Resort in Yolo County, has said it would finance the purchase of the ranch." read the entries in order, but because they're posted recent-first, I have to scroll down to the end, then read top-to-bottom, then scroll up one post and read down again. Is there any way to reformat them to be the latest at the bottom? was maybe one half decent line in it but otherwise it was sophomoric trash. The followup comments on the first page or two were all one liners going off about how brilliant it is but it just isn't. I'm happy to leave it at "your sense of humor is remarkably different than mine". Ask yourself this: if the same piece were written with different names and reverse political point of view would it still be "fucking hilarious" for you or the other commenters? The joke works *because* someone as nonsensically rabidly anti-liberal as Ann Coulter could only be this driven if she had as huge a well of repressed feelings as this satire purports. No, it wouldn't work if it were Michael Moore and some Young Republican because we all know lefties are perverts anyway (that, and the imagery would be terribly unsettling). Yes, the website and its title are puerile, but yes, it's funny. if you spend more than 10 seconds a year thinking about Ann Coulter and you share a sense of humor with the typical 16 year old. Anyway, Ann, Moore, and all the rest are super rabid because it makes them money. If you seriously believe they're that rabid in real life in private, I've got a bridge for you. That's not part of their recent history except a bit of inter-European movement. most European countries having large-ish immigrant populations, it is actually pretty difficult in a lot of places to assimilate, even for second-generation kids. The "barriers" aren't really conscious, but there have been a lot of studies recently about job discrimination against people with non-European names. This in no way excuses the honor killings and shit like that, but there was a good E'ist letter to the editor recently by a guy who'd taught in Italy--a group of ethnic Japanese students was referred to only as "the Japanese" by other students, even though they'd all been born in Italy. True or not, this is pretty typical and explains some of the failure to integrate. Given that, there's also a _lot_ of un- willingness on the part of a lot of Balkan and Arab/Muslim immigrants to integrate. Not that Japan would even let large colonies of immigrants set up their own cultural islands the way immigrants do in Europe. Other countries don't work the way America does and that's ok. Japanese in Italy will always stand out until so many immigrants eventually change the face of Europe (already happening). I don't think they should be forced to be perfectly accepting of immigrants. I guess it comes down to the idea of people having a homeland attached to their ethnicity. This traditional notion is simply incompatible with "integration". I would not expect to feel like a native Chinese if I moved to some random Chinese town, or if I was one of 3 white kids in a Chinese school, and first generation kids aren't gonna suddenly be Chinese either when they don't have Chinese parents and cultural tradition. I think immigrating is a choice and some of the negative aspects are to be expected. Obviously they should be protected law and tolerance should be taught. You can't force it though without trampling somewhat on the native people's lives. the immigrants would only become "acculturized" after several generations; but natives don't really want to deal with non-acculturized immigrants. I figure I'll actually field this question: I actually intentionally did not keep old-soda's keys. I'll post the new keys on the website when I am a bit more conscious. to the point of become unbearably slow before the hardware upgrade. out of curiousity, what went wrong with the old Soda again \_ Run soda inside a VM, and then VMOtion it to the other machine 12:26 lexluthor2 annCoulter? that there hasn't been a good Star Trek show since DS9 ended. I'm also struggling w/ the fact that 1st Contact was the last watchable Star Trek movie. I desperately need an infusion of new Star Trek content (Enterprise failed spectacularly in this regard b/c even SeaQuest was more watchable). and I thought it was a given that national restrictions on who links to what online are silly, "make a buck on it" is not a bad thing, but for some reason it has a negative connotation--not making a buck == no google, who judges what "no one should need to see"? lies is, c) germany has banned nazi stuff, are you opposed to that? unrelated is google's answer to a faq on image and link hosting for people who want an image pulled down: they duck the issue of removing it from their index and punt it to the user to go ask the webmaster to remove it when in many cases the webmaster has posted something maliciously or just doesn't care what their users post and isn't subject to the reach of the law. there were search engines before, there will be search engines after. they're just one search engine of many that all return roughly the same quality of results. In their position I wouldn't even have posted the disclaimer, although I can understand why they saw it as a prudent thing to do. is unwilling to provide a means to people to have potentially damaging and false information removed. I'm firmly in favor of that but why draw the line there? I don't see why Germany's ban on Nazi stuff is ok as a 'special case'. As if by out lawing references to the Nazis they will magically make the past go away. Anyway, once you draw a line there's no difference where yo draw it. You don't get to claim you're a big pro-information freedom person when you've made an arbitrary decision that there really is some information that shouldn't be seen. Women/ families should be not allowed to sneak across the border or go on a shopping trip in San Diego, give birth, and subsequently become a lifetime ward of the US Fed. But I guess strict construction is only useful when convenient. the same to all observers, did he ever consider that it contradicted with Newton's laws? I read some Einstein biography and it sounded like Einstein was the first to consider the contradiction. lieberman goes over there and thinks everything is rosy. murtha goes over there and thinks iraq is about to dissolve into civil war. i read the paper today and see more news of suicide bombings. i think of how much the iraqi people must be in on it for insurgents to attack our troops with such impunity. and let me amend this, I cannot think of any reasonable way for america to 'win'. I think gwbush wants to create a democratic magic land where the kurds, sunnis and shiites all live together in harmony and provide the US with cheap oil for the next 50 years. he must not have noticed the sunnis and shiites hate each other over an event that happened almost 2000 years ago, they're not going to start being nice to each other after we throw several cluster bombs at them. we fucked up, the sooner we're out of iraq, the sooner it can split into three countries. It's a shame those who try to voice the evidence they see of things getting beter are being silenced. If I am a neo-nazi I should get equal time to "debate" my side of the issue? and 2) you have the right to say what you want, but you don't have the right to force others to listen. In this case, we're talking about national issues of foreign policy as debated by federal level elected officials and it is absolutely neces... |
