Except hiring is up the last couple of years... that being said, youth unemployment rates are still eye-popping, and that will likely create a drag on the industry (teen unemployment rates have been over 20% for the last 41 consecutive months). If you mean that "hiring is up" in "temporary seasonal, and under performing jobs at min. wage" then I suppose so. Otherwise it's all magical job making that doesn't exist. Last time I looked the U6 was around 16% with 88m people out of work in the US alone. That's not even counting people who have simply given up looking for work. It's far worse in the eurozone where the general unemployment rate is between 16-42% for workers in the 22-42 range, and the youth(and teen) unemployment rate is between 28 and 55%. |

| Sales have been weaker the last two years. And there's an easy reason to see why. It just gets shakier when bad job data goes out and rumors of "you're gonna get laid off" start circulating in the office. Especially just before summer. |

Wow, miracle of miracles.
What I find funny though, is that the warrantless tap only applies to exigent circumstances and has been on the books for nearly 50 years and the courts have been fine with it for ages. Well the oversight part is what they had a problem with, it'll get changed and be back. |

If I wasn't having fun in TOR I might check it out, ... If I had fun in TOR I might not have come back(prolly the worst purchase I've made since AoC), especially with STO having gone F2P I'm pretty much set in terms of mmo's between that and WoW.
Well it's a fair song and dance, but it was around 2 years apparently since I last logged in. It does feel better and combat at least is smoother finally. |

| Nothing confusing about polar bear numbers. They're so damn common it's scary, we see them in Ontario in the north and fairly far south into northern ontario. Hell they had to shoot a few out in nova scotia and quebec this year because they're getting like the black bears and grizzly's and just wandering into town for an easier meal. |

Is that even legal for Verizon to do?
And the sooner more people cut the cord, the better.
Yes. Because the courts ruled against dry-dsl a few years ago(10ish? 12ish). And it allowed companies to do away with selling only dry for a specific service. It'll prolly go back to court though. |

Try to think about your actions within context of the story, instead of just watching a cutscene. It's a whole game, and the end cutscene is just a part of the ending. I know its hard, but try not to let the pretty flashing lights distract you, k? If it wasn't for your UID, I'd think you're a paid EA-biodrone troll trying to say "everything is grand, and fully fills all the plot holes" by doing the same cinematic sequences with coloured lights.
When I read a book, the ending is there. I just finished playing BG, and the epilogue was sure a cinematic but it fit the story. When I play PS:Torment, the ending is a cinematic but the actual choices I make in the game determine what happens and how I get there, and what happens to everything in between. When I completed BG2/TOB the same deal happens, but my choices through those games also decide what happens based on my alignment. BGTOB was a 'three choice option' but did it very well.
Coloured ending with explosions is what Micheal Bay does. |

Japan has already universally decided to pull the plug on nuclear power, Germany too.
Yeah. Bad plan, but japan is keeping their reactors open for the most part except for the aging ones. Germany is now buying their nuclear power from france, which is going to be expensive. And as for Japan, wanna guess where they're getting their power from now? I can tell you. Coal, and more coal power plants. Yep. And how do I know? Because they've been buying up coal mines across Canada. Latest acquisition, milner power corp aka grande cache coal with a current estimate on their mining at the current location of 11.6m tonnes underground w/another 10m above off the mountains, and their newest one is 20m tonnes worth just above.
Oh and for the boxing match? Not bad. The shiny pony(trudeau) did a good job. But it was $230k for cancer research and brazeau wants a rematch with him too.

A couple quick thoughts about the human CO2 emissions article:
That's nice. But you can read the paper yourself whenever you want here. Whatever you think about the DM, this is a fully peered paper, and the paper itself backs up the statements on it's own. MWP = worldwide event. |

Keep spreading that FUD! If you don't like it, don't get the service. But at least get your facts right and stop making shit up, Karl.
Well if the caps are like anything in Canada, and ISP's are the same. You don't have much of a choice of who can be your ISP, or even the choice of service. So some people regardless of circumstances will be stuck with them no matter what. |
