The run-up to the second US Iraq war was not indications that they were playing above board, simply that we could find no evidence that they had any WMDs (primarily gas being the one they had used in the past, which somehow is being classified in the same category as nuclear weapons).

They were not cooperative or open about what they were doing though, which would have been part of being above board.

Additionally, gas was found after the primary invasion recent reports say, the information was not shared because it was deemed a bigger embarrassment to have it shown that the gas was given to them by the USA than to not find them.

Note: not defending the war, but it's a little absurd to pretend that Saddam was above board with what he was doing, he was trying to act like he was hiding something as a form of posturing, probably thinking he could negotiate a deal where he gave up the "program" (that didn't exist, the weapons found were from the US)in exchange for something, not realizing the crazy the US populace was feeling at the time (and our government too).

As they literally pollute the communal stream.

Sort of how different Linux kernels use different amounts of RAM?

Windows 9.x ran on top of DOS the same way Netware did, which is not at all.

But were TSR programs not background tasks? I had a CD player that was TSR, so no matter what I was doing, I could pull it up and play my CDs, though I suppose it may have been idle the entire time, and only sending commands to the drive when active (if memory serves correctly, CD ROMS were semi autonomous like that, and would simply stream audio to the soundcard, I think some even had a built in headphone jack).

Couldn't the same argument be made that a person of the Earth made enough money to visit the ISS, what's your excuse for not having that much money?

She had to make money to go to space (as I read TFS), so I imagine anywhere that there was a good enough economy to get rich would suffice, once someone has that kind of money, they can certainly afford to fly somewhere for the launch.

I doubt it, if they are asking for it to be made as an extension, then the extension writer would get the credit.

There stock was always intriguing to me too. They had a USB powered two port VGA DA, which I love and use a lot for work, but that really can't be a high-demand item.

They also had 9 pin serial F-F extension couplings, but no VGA. I can't imagine the demand for either is that high, but the serial couplings in 2014 seemed quite unlikely to ever sell. I wouldn't even think to check for them at a Radio Shack if I was looking (I'd call independence computer stores).

I think the greater point is that snapchat isn't about protecting from a malicious attacker, it's about protecting from accidents, and thoughtlessness.

The case of kids filming all over the place would probably not be snaps though, that sounds like something they'd want to keep (I don't know why, it just as I skimmed seemed like a game of collecting these things), but random sexy shots are completely the domain for snapchat, and if used normally protects from accidental leakage.

In my area teachers get paid 190 day/year (180 teaching, I think the remaining 10 5 personal development and 5 split between grading and prep before the school year). Most spend another few days doing other things, the pay is paid out over 12 months, but earned at time of service (relevant if someone quits).

even at working 200 days, that's a lot of time off (normal work person is 260 days - 10 or 20 vacation - 5 holidays for 235, the teacher gets 7 extra weeks off).

I don't was to say teachers are over or under paid (it really does vary a lot), but it is pretty much the only career that gives you so much time off

If schools limit teachers to 3 preps (they're supposed to here, but don't), and give them a planning period (again they don't really do that as much as they're supposed to here), the amount of work outside of school is fairly minimal, especially keeping in mind a 7 hour official work day (7:30-3:00 with half hour lunch).

After a few years of teaching, the amount of time spent outside class drops dramatically as one has built up worksheets, lessons, etc, to share with the class.

There's one not too far away, it's not open on Saturdays, or past 4.

I think my story is false though, I think the last time I went was to get a charger for a Li-Ion battery that I broke the charger for.

The "universal" charger did not charge an 18650, because it was a quarter inch too short. I was pretty shocked.

Last time I went there I needed a 1/8" audio jack and some solder. It was great, I don't know where else I could have gotten those things in 20 minutes, but $8/year doesn't keep a store open, and the times I need those connectors are few and far between.

Unions too, not just bosses.

I'd be more worried about potential social and economic consequences with the people I immediately interact with.

For example the boss using it as a litmus test, or a weighted criteria when choosing who to promote. I assume my immediate boss knows how I vote, but perhaps their boss suggests it may be a good criteria.

Secret voting was originally a defense against buying votes, though I don't think that could be done so effectively in the US (for now anyway, as wealth distribution continues to skew things could change, though I think the risk of discovery is the real reason it doesn't happen in key areas), but I also think there are legitimate reasons for secret votes for smaller scale voting pressure.

Limit poker greatly reduces the importance of how much money one has.
