    That's unlikely an option due to North Island, though.

    I worked at a Subway while in high school, and I agree the smell is not very inviting. Even the dough, once thawed, has a strange odor to it, though the biggest cause of that funky…

    Nice. I'll just add, any sane implementation of make should already define $(CC) for you.

    The phrase he used has a fairly well understood meaning, so of course the substitution would read differently. It would be an entirely new phrase. Different words/phrases have diff…

    Replace "proprietary" with "open source" and the argument is virtually the same. You still need to trust the third party running the software.

    Yea, this seems to be the case. I've had the leading zero stripped on a few occasions when receiving items at an FPO AE address (all APO/DPO/FPO AE zip codes start with a zero).

    Just to add, union dues and initiation fees are also tax deductible in the U.S.; however, you can only deduct the amount above and beyond 2% of your AGI.

    The A-10 was the first plane to come to mind when I saw the description, as well. Living in Tucson as a kid, I saw these planes flying around quite a bit.

    > My point here is, if you're in the military now, you're volunteering for war. If you're an injured soldier, I'm sorry you got hurt. You didn't deserve it, because nobody deserves…

    According to the Apple Pay site, that'll be the case for in-store purchases.

    Indeed. I originally enlisted in the Navy as an Aviation Structural Mechanic (AM), and my first command was an F-14 squadron where I was assigned to airframes. On average, we sched…

    I can only assume your coworker had quite an elaborate setup, as most ircds (e.g., ircu, charybdis, ircd-hybrid) take an hour, tops, to configure and get running.

    > Also, a cursory search for other candidates seem to indicate Mitsubishi Corp has a market cap of 3.1T? ... That's in Japanese Yen, which is ~34.5B USD.

    Easiest way to remember, if the sound of the word's first letter starts with a consonant sound, you use a. If it starts with a vowel sound, you use an.

    > Also, your US numbers of course vary by state. For example, Arizona driver's licenses don't expire until the person's 65th birthday (and every five years thereafter).

    You're improperly conflating the two issues, though I agree DADT was a horrible policy. There simply weren't plenty of linguists before or after those discharges (which obviously d…

    It varies by state. Anywhere from 3 to 10 years (for non-IRS collections) depending on the type of agreement.

    Quite the opposite. Many countries have national laws prohibiting cooperate espionage, but it's not necessarily prohibited by international law absent a declaration of war.

    That report doesn't really dispute his point, though. The U.S. accounts for about 35% of R&D research worldwide for prescription drugs. Nearly half of the pharmaceutical companies …

    Higher freight traffic in the U.S. has partially something to do with it. Buffering strengths here require that a passenger train be able to withstand 800,000 pounds of force witho…

    The (C)C-130J, which is what's used today, has little in common with the C-130A other than appearance. These aren't 50+ year old aircraft.
