The problem with the woman who try to be like male managers is that they try to follow the stereotype that adds unpredictability. I have found woman managers will go off far more unexpected then male managers, especially when they think they have something to prove.
Men and Women are different and more then just plumbing. Different doesn't mean better. But neither side shouldn't try to be what they aren't that is what causes problems.
In general I have seen it is more common for female bosses to be overly aggressive over male bosses. If you are going to get yelled at it will be from a female boss. When there is a big problem the female boss will get more emotional. The Male bosses tend to keep cool and handle problems more rationally. However female bosses when things are not stressful will be more democratic and listen to problems and make a more open minded decision.
In Summy with over generalization. When things are going good, a female boss will keep things going good. When things are going bad, a male boss will make things better.
Well the question is how much more will it cost if the XPS matched the Resolution. And a SD Card Reader.
I am not saying you didn't make the right decision for choosing the XPS. However it isn't a 1 for 1 match. There may be other bells and whistles that you are not looking at or really don't count as a major feature.
However there is a system where we got 3 major areas of Government. Judicial, Legislative, and Executive, were either sides has the power the stop the other for a particular action.
The Judicial branch can say that a Law or Action is unconstitutional. The Legislative Branch can amend the constitution to get past the Judicial block. The Executive branch can Vito the Law from the Legislative. The Legislative branch can with a 2/3 majority override the Vito. The Executive branch can choose who comes in the Judaical branch.... Take civics more more information...
That said the constitution are the rules that the government must run by... However they are not the only rules of the land. There are a lot more laws and rules.
Quite! let us have a liberal delusion. I living in a world where basic rules of economics Supply and Demand do not apply. Where human natural instinct is to work for an abstract greater good at the expense of the here and now. A world where everyone has the same needs, wants and priorities in life. Have a government that will help guide us and help us maintain the greater good.
To be fare I can we can liver in a conservative delusion. Where the value in life is based on only how hard you work, and people you know or the family you were born in doesn't have any effect. Where business will run honestly without any other laws, providing excellent goods and services at a good price. As these companies grow they will hire more people to expand, thus everyone will be making money and living the good life.
But lets not let the moderates view of the world be notices for they are just a real downer and life is just more complicated. Because we all know if you are a moderate then you are week minded person who cannot make a decision. Because we wouldn't want to live the below world.
Where they are trade-offs in life. Human Natural instincts is selfish in our minds we live in a world where we are the major character. So we as people will serve the greater good usually if there is either a reward for doing such or a punishment for failing doing such. However the system to help control these rewords and punishments are fill with people with their own agendas and views on what the greater good should be. Where one choice can improve one thing however at a cost of something else, and we must choose what the side effect to go with, that is if we are lucky to know the side effects because sometimes unknown effects happen with your actions.
Sure you can. Most western music is based on the 12 note system. You can convert Pi to Base 12. You can keep Pi at Base 10 and use the Major or Minor scale with 8 notes (more or less) to use. And say 9 brings you up and octave and 0 brings your down. I can keep on going. Even with Western Style. If I leave western music I can go much further.
You don't need to shift numbers you just shift the intervals that these numbers represent.
While I take that comment in jest. I think legally if someone Patented making music based on Pi, you may be able sue the holders for Patent infringement. As it is a different type of legal standard. The Copyright failed because while the two pieces used the same process they had different output (in essence a different song). However the patent you own rights to the process.
It has a fairly modern Intel Graphic Chip that is said to be much better then the other systems. However if you want a 12" or less screen you are not usually needing a high end graphics card, unless you plan to spend most of your computing with the Laptop hooked to an external monitor.
Yes they are both motivated by making a lot of money. It is just that one group comes up with a lame excuse that makes it seem like they are fighting for the little guy like a robin hood... Except for the fact they are stealing form everyone and giving to themselves.
I only have 160gb drive on a brand new laptop... Granted it is a solid state drive. But in depending on your use we now have a culture where we don't always need the super sized drives anymore.
160gb is great for normal use. If you are not going be doing movies. If you are going with storing movies. Or excess of music then you will need more storage. But if you are going to browse the web, write software, and run normal applications then 160gb is good enough.
The problems with Macs isn't that they are expensive but you only have a small selection of models to choose from. If you take a Mac and Price spec for Spec (Every spec even if you don't think it is a big deal such as glowing keyboard with light sensor or weight and thinness) You will find that the Price of the Mac is the same as any other new Commercially built system out there of the same quality. However the Mac may not be a value to you because a lot of the stuff that comes with the Mac you may not need and for the feature that you do want you may have to get extra stuff that you will pay for that you may not use...
So if you want a Laptop that is Light, and Fast. For PC's you have a bunch of options many without too many extras. For Apple you have only a couple of models if that to choose from.
It isn't that Apple is gouging customers (the Apple Tax) you are getting what you pay for. The crux of the matter is you may be getting more then you need or want.
"a used Dell"... Ok... you are really going into an Apples/Oranges comparison. It is like saying that a new Honda Fit is expensive because it cost more then getting a used 1990 Honda Civic.
We don't really have Cadillac PC's anymore, mostly because PC's arn't cool anymore. A laptop (where a high end system could still set you back 3k) is more common.
Back in time Gateway 2000 use to make the Cadillac of PC's Until the late 1990's where they reached the peak of people who wanted the high quality PC's sure getting a Gateway cost more but you got a PC with solid components and wouldn't fail then they started to cut corners so they can compete with Hewlet Packard and Compaq... Quality began to suck... Dell came in Sure they costed a bit more but they were better made systems. Then they did the same thing around the early/mid 2000's. By this time of the Dells decline Desktop/Tower PCs where getting out of fashion, and moved towards laptops. Where Dell still had some advantages in that market. However Apple and Think Pads (By IBM then by Lenovo) really started to take the High End/Quality Laptop markets Apple for consumers and the Think Pads for Business.
This Amiga price is due to the fact that they are selling the OS and the computer and they are not popular enough to mass produce them.
The standard PC you buy Windows OEM for like $100 per PC. Apple sells enough of their Macs to support the cost of hardware in bulk and their OS. For the Amiga they cannot buy the hardware in bulk and they need to still recoup the cost of the OS development. There may be free software however making software isn't free.
It seems perfectly reasonable. I mean you are out selling Microsoft Products and Services and to see the sales person using a Mac or an iPad to do their business while pushing their stuff for you to do theirs send out the wrong message. With Windows 8 Coming out with Tablet features there isn't really a good reason why they should use iPads to do their work. Unless of course if they are trying to Push an iPad app made by Microsoft of Microsoft products for Mac. However for those units I expect an exception is made.
Well... Pi roughly being 3.14159 and a cubit being the length of a fore arm. It is quite clear that his arm stretched a bit after he measured the diameter.
However with scientist jump up and down Ranting and Raving that they shouldn't listen to their parents/pastors and other pillars of the community, and insulting their religion as a bunch of fairy tails, will do nothing to help teach Evolution, all it will do is strengthen the resolve of the other side. As those Atheist Scientist are trying to corrupt the minds of the young to make them live sinful lives.
The middle ground solution is this (being that it is a middle ground solution both sides will not really like it) Science is a process, a key element of this process is the idea that the simplest explanation is best explanation. Having a supernatural force is a more complicated answer, especially when you see evidence proves the simpler evidence. It doesn't mean that the complicated answer is invalid however in science it cannot be used as a variable to explain things.
Saying God did it is a complex answer, that means we will need to ask why did he do it, why did he put evidence that shows a simpler answer, if the Devil did it, why doesn't God some him... Religion isn't science. Science may not be actual truth. Religion may be wrong too. However when you are dealing with the world science gives us a better explanation on what goes on that is more consistent. However we could just as easially be a Brain in a box being fed stimuli that simulates real life while what is really real is compleatly different... However that isn't science either, because we have no way to prove that what we are experience is not real.
It makes me happy to see a new technology, that follows a basic principals that is easy to understand, and the only real reason why it never came up sooner was due to accuracy of the electronics.
The question may fall into discovering genes that already exist, vs. New ones created.
Lets say I spend billions of dollars on a bactera that I can put in glass container that will light up like a 100 watt bulb while feeding it C02, I would want to patent those genes that I created so I can make profit off of bacteria lightbulbs. However if you just found the genes that cured cancer that some people had, and giving others with cancer that gene, I don't think you should be able to patent something you discovered but didn't create.
When a company switches platforms a large portion of their customers switch. That is the risk of changing. Why? 1. People Don't like change. 2. When forced with a change, they will evaluate their other options. 3. After their options are evaluated they may no longer choose you.
For Nokia. For smart phone owners They have a few "popular" choice Get Windows Mobile, Get Android, Get iPhone. Being that Nokia only loss 1/3 of their customers is a good sign, logically if all product quality was equal they would have loss 2/3 of their sales to competitors.
Car analogy. GM stops selling Pontiac, because they have many other cars similar to their Pontiac models. Pontiac owners who need a new car but liked their old Pontiac will need to get a new car. Because they need a new car they will take a look at all the options some that GM owns and also what their competitors have Ford, Toyota... Some will choose GM products others will go with the competitors.
Well for Lincoln Logs the tools exist to make new Lincoln logs and probably cheaper then a 3d printer. You buy wooden dowels, You use a table saw to flatten the edges. and cut holes on each end.
And the cost of the extra years warranty will just be added to the price of the product. For future sales.
I want the Nasty big company who makes a lot of profit to pay for more... We will pass laws and force them to comply... Then the Nasty big company will raise its rates so the Average Poor Slob will end up paying the bill. You don't become a Big company from being stupid and giving money away.
What crimes? For the most part they followed the law. The ones that were caught breaking the law were put in jail (At least when they were at a particular level).
Should we put in jail the average Banker (middle class/lower middle class) who just follows company policy, and greets you with a smile? For the most part this is what happened. Sub Prime Mortgages were mortgages where the risk to lending to an individual was spread across many companies. Because each mortgage holder was less of a risk that means banks could lend safely to riskier people. While the economy was good, this was really good too. More people could access cheap money and buy homes, what is so wrong giving under privilege people homes of their own. With more people buying you had an increase in Demand and supply Couldn't keep up, so pricing went up (economics 101), and we were in a housing bubble. Then in 2008 Home prices were too high then the market could bare and prices dropped fast. Dropped Prices caused people who were using their homes for collateral were loosing its value thus they have loans that they could no longer back up. And a large number of such of the Higher Risk Home owners defaulted. Because of the number all the small risks to the banks added up to a large problem (Toxic Assets) where too much of their Assets were tied up in High Risk loans. As more people went bust the lower the average housing went further... To a point were too many people were defaulting and causing them to stop spending.
All the bankers wanted to do was increase their customer base and reduce their risk. However it caused a chain of events that was mostly unexpected. (We knew the housing market would pop and put us into a recession or just a normal economic correction.) But a lot of worse case went together and caused a full melt down.
There was really one activity that wasn't really illegal however gross neglect to do their jobs correctly Where the rating industries had gave these Riskier Mortgages an high rating, where they were actually much riskier then they were rated for giving bankers a good feeling to use such instruments.
The problem is Outrage. Outrage is getting mad at things that have already happened, it isn't productive method of try to make sure it doesn't happen. For most events if you are Outraged it means you don't know enough about what happened or you just more interested in revenge then actually solving the problem. I have seen a lot of people back in 2008 who were actually quite happy when the market crashed (and hid their joy in outrage against those evil people who did it) but they were happy because their blind complaining about everything actually got something that came true.
