White/grey have nearly equal levels of R,G,B. This color clearly has a higher intensity in the blue channel.

Yes, so his "simple" solution was to have the company literally double their workforce. I'm sure it's just *so* easy to find that many reliable people with commercial drivers licences.

I'm sorry, but it is definitely not. I just opened it up in GIMP, and the blue areas have hue values between 225 and 230. While yes, the saturation is low (30-40), that definitely still makes it blue, albeit a washed out blue.

I did. It's definitely blue. Not highly saturated blue, but blue nonetheless. It's certainly not white/grey.

From any angle, it looks blue to me. Very distinctly blue. I'm actually somewhat baffled that anyone (nevermind the majority of people) perceives it as white and gold.

This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

Tell me genius, how are you going to drive the same amount of buses with half the employees on a shift? Or are you under the impression that people can drive two buses at once?

Seriously... what's the point of putting someone in prison for four years for that? If anything a sentence like that is just as likely to turn them to harder, more violent crime than rehabilitate them.

It makes much more sense to give first time offenders for stupid crimes like this a year of probation, a significant amount of community service, and forced enrollment in some sort of vocational school / work program.

You don't reform people by making them sit on their asses for four years talking to other criminals. You reform them by putting them to useful work.

Not to mention that I doubt the university you turned down would give you grief if you called them and explained the situation.

Actually digging down from anywhere is moving orthogonal to the N/S/E/W plane, so it's zero motion, neither north nor south.

Except that two singers performing the same song will often produce two very different results. So clearly there is at least some artistic license in singing.

Your "typing in a program from a magazine" analogy is completely flawed since two people typing in a program from a magazine will produce identical code. Two singers singing the same song will obviously not produce identical performances.

Isn't genetic engineering on humans generally not allowed?

Even adjusting for population and number of employees (Standard Oil - 60,000, Apple 100,000), it's still seems rather absurd.

This is not really true. The Bill of Rights is a list of things that the government specifically cannot do. It would not be necessary if the Constitution didn't grant the federal government some pretty broad powers (such as the power to make and enforce laws).

Washington has no state payroll tax, sorry.

Of course the government creates wealth when it spends money on projects. Any spending creates wealth, it doesn't matter if it's a private company spending the money or the government. Either way, someone gets money and someone else gets a product. So where before you only had money, now you have money and some product (say, a rocket). Thus "creating wealth". Where did you get this idea that the government doesn't create wealth just like any other investor?

Ahh yes, such as roads, water, power, gas, fire departments, police, primary education, &c...
