Hows about instead of trying to force a certain percentage they only take the qualified people? Let say we look at the qualified talent pool for a certain madeup job, using random numbers to show my point. talent pool is 70% type A 20% type B 5% type C 4% Type D and 1% type E normally in a perfect system the company would hire 70% A, 20% B, 5% C etc etc... right? However, IF said company is forced to maintain a balanced percentage, 20% of each of the 5 types what would that do? Type B is perfectly represented (YAY!) Type A gets the shaft, HARD, and types C, D, and E are all vastly over represented, forcing a sense of discrimination against type As. But I guess us Type A's deserve getting the shaft?

So Child Protection Agencies have nothing better to do than go after kids walking home at the age of 10???? I mean I could see at 5-6 but 10 is old enough to be trusted alone. I mean it's not like there are lots of other cases for the Child Protection should actually be doing stuff about...

it's because instead of throwing you in jail, they just take all your cash, pepperspray and beat you, then they send you on your merry way to the ER with multiple compound fractures.

Damned you greenpeace... this is why no-one likes you

yes, lets compare different events that are seperated by more than 300 years, I mean it seems legit

OR I just figured out a clever idea, that might piss of any aliens the encounter. Feed the astronauts beans, attach hoses to their butts nad use "natural gas" for thrust. In a perfect vacuum I'm sure farts do give some accelertion... think of it like an organic Ion engine

but wet cement doesn' cure...

tiny trade convention in Northern Ontario (town has maybe 15k people) charges up to 300$ for internet connections through DSL. Larger shows and such in bigger areas can get away with higher charges

not if you "cheat" flood the channels with noise and use restricted channels for your APs. I think it's channels 12-14 that are only legal in the rest of the world, but should be accessible to devices.

It's not a tumahh! It's a memory bundle

becaue usually when you print a file, you already have file in digital format and thus want it in physical.

stones are heavy, when they can get glimpsed they will fall to the earth and presumably shatter. the risk far outweighs to potential benefits.

I'm not sexist or anything, but am I the only one that gets annoyed when people, in their strive to be as PC as possible, refer to a theoretical person by the female form as opposed to the male form? I mean it makes sense when talking about a field where it is women dominated, but how many women CIO's exist, compared to men?

Wait a few thousand years and use giant cranes... duh!

must have used Apple Maps to figure out the proper orbit...
