Yikes... don't celebrate just yet! I went back and thought about this again. Because you're given arrival and departure rates that vary with time (rather than being constant), you need to take the integrals of both the arrival and departure rates and set them equal to each other in order to...

As deterministic queuing goes, this one makes you work the math (integrals and derivatives!) to get the answer. Do you understand the D/D/1 notation? If you use wolframalpha.com, you can more easily visualize what's going on... Plot the arrival function. Plot the departure function. Where...

All my experience is government-related construction. I have yet to see a single case of A/E liability pursued. The push to design-build has greatly simplified this aspect.

This is the only kitten-related item on the internet that has *EVER* made me smile!

Oxnard can be scary... but better to spend the night in a VC jail than an LA jail! Not that I'd know.

Riverside isn't too far away (http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/14/justice/california-neo-nazi-leader-death)!

My 14-year-old was doing an English assignment where he had to come up with a list of "likes" and "hates". On the hate side: "Nazis, ... , Grammar Nazis, ..." I asked which one he hated more and he said it was a toss-up.

So you learned so much in your MS program that a BS pales by comparison? Pray tell, what were the high points?

But why the 2% drop with the added task of prioritizing?

What state schools are you talking about? I'm not aware of any that require a 4.0 (out of what?!?) to qualify for in-state tuition when the student lives in-state.

There's a Wendy's on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendelton, CA and Marine Corps Air Station New RIver, NC. But now that you mention it, those are the only two I can think of. Maybe Marine Corps Exchange has an arrangement that Navy Exchange or AAFES doesn't. I think Subway is easy on base because...

"How do you make a hormone?" I heard the quickest way was to put sand in the vaseline.

Do you have a disability? Inability to pass the exam isn't a "disability"

He's probably still recovering from his birthday celebration...

How many people realize one of the neatest part's of xkcd is the associated text? For example: "Knuth Paper-Stack Notation: Write down the number on pages. Stack them. If the stack is too tall to fit in the room, write down the number of pages it would take to write down the number. THAT...

I came back to this topic to see what ever happened and I see I missed your question. Do you have a pbworks account? What e-mail address?

And a few paragraphs down: Oops... who'd of thought when the school district quickly said "it's not our fault" that they'd turn out to be wrong"?

Did you all read the important part? If the contractor builds outside the easement and on someone's lot (even though it looks good), guess who's going to have to a) pay to have both sides moved or B) deal with eminent domain. I don't blame the contractor for anything other than poor PR skills.

Happy New Year!

Wow... what a blast from the past! Here are my two-and-a-half cents (adjusted for inflation!): I agree with the OP. The world is a better place when supervisors have the same qualifications as the people they supervise. There are lots of examples beyond nurses and doctors where this is...
