More importantly, going near.9 Mach means that the aircraft is smack in the middle of the "transonic" region, where parts of the aircraft would unavoidably be going sonic/super-sonic.
I'm genuienly curious about this. Can you explain why parts of the plane are going one speed while others are going slower?
... but did you not get the memo that the 90's are over and you'll actually have to do some work to stay in business? If you're manager wants to stay a manager, I'd advise him to keep a little tighter lid on things than playing away the holidays. But if you want his job, tell him to play away!
The important thing is to get a manager. The first line people have no authority to make changes or decisions. In my line of thinking, the first line in any customer service facility is to deal with happy customers and those angry ones too timid to speak up. _Always_ ask for a supervisor when you are complaining and the front line isn't working.
Has anyone worked with the Smarty templating extension? It seems like it would lead to better MVC use, but I haven't had time to use it yet. Will I be wasting my time?
At least this works on Mozilla unlike the Google toolbar provided by Google. (I know there's a third party version). I hope this is a sign of things to come.
It seems to me that the people who pay attention to MacWorlds the most are Mac Zealots. These people are going to buy a Mac no matter what. Why should Apple spend all this extra money to sell to people who are going to buy regardless. With "times as they are", you have to cut costs.
<footnote> Speaking of "times as they are", are times really that tough for everyone or are we being hood winked into missing raises and doing without when things aren't that bad? Maybe this isn't intentional, it could be that people have gone from being ultra liberal with spending to ultra conservative. Even in my company which has always been slow to spend, things have cut back. What's the real reason behind all this? </footnote>
I did n't say anything about the ethicality of this research. I'm just saying corn article was not as frightening as it sounds so lets not use that as evidence for anything it doesn't support.
Is it ethical or responsible to create life, when we know that we're already making serious mistakes in genetic engineering, such as the genes that recently jumped between soya and corn?
I think we covered this in the "Gene jumping" thread. The gene's didn't jump, the two seperate products were mixed together, as solids, and so some of the genetically modifed stuff got in with the non genetically modified stuff and when ingested, poff. The genes are merged. Or some such nonsense. The article had nothing to do with genes jumping speceies. Just another case of/. editors not reading the story well enough to create a decent headline.
Huh, oh no! How will I ever get around this nefarious plan. Could I maybe give them another number, say my neighors, or the mayors? Or maybe say I'm from out of state and don't have their store there? Or maybe I could tell them to go to hell and sit on a hot coal because it's none of thier damn business. Honestly, it's like you have some sort of problem talking to others. Wait, you're on/. ranting about privacy? Oh, that explains it, carry on.
If I could type in what I'm looking for, and it would blink on the map both where I am and where the item is, I would buy my own personal one and bring it to the store with me.:)
Here's an idea. Tell the clerk you left it at home and they'll leave you alone. No one is forcing you to get one of these cards. It's not like their going to change the price just for you, and they can already tell what items are popular. I think there are too many/.ers getting really bent out of shape over this. Where's the harm?!
Even if you don't encrypt your mail, they can't analyze ALL the data generated by ALL the emails that are sent EVERY day. I know, if encryption is only used when you have something secret to say then it draws attention, but really. Do you all think that the government is going to sit back and read everyones mail? I'm not even sure this bill allows them to do that. They have to report all uses of this power to the Attorney General within 90 days and he has to report it to congress, and the public, within a year of the use. The paperwork alone would bury an entire department if they monitored all emails. Yes this is a bad piece of legislation and takes away civil liberties, it does not however, mean that all emails are going to be read. The more crackpotty sound, the less people will listen to your legitimate concerns.
Now adays he'd walk into the horse stables shouting "I'm James Bond...try to stop me...I work for MI6"
You know, I always wondered why he immediatly came out and gave his name. "Bond, James Bond" Duh, if you're this famous spy, why tell everyone your real name? It's the classic case of stupid bad guys who should just shoot him once he tells them who he is.
While it's becoming clear that the headline is misleading and that we're actually talking about harvested crop mixing and not gene jumping, jumping is still a problem. I don't know about intra-species jumping, but two corn fields seperated by miles of Illinois flatland can definetly cross polinate. There are supposed to be "buffer zones" of soybeans or other plants around "special" corn, but those only work about 90% of the time. There is a definte chance for long distance cross-polination.
Revenues of $225M doesn't say anything about profit. That's great they're bringing in money, but let's see some profit before we start jumping on their bandwagon.
Wow, you're very observant! I haven't seen the second movie yet, but I think that focusing on all these tiny details will lessen your enjoyment of the overall film. I think it's better to go to the movies to just enjoy it, not to analyse it. Maybe I've learned to appreciate them more now that i've got a one year old and get to see movies much more rarely.
That's a very good point. I wonder how much of the R&D budget goes towards Windows development? I guess the inordinate margins on Windows allows them to develope more technologies for things that aren't yet revenue generating, but I still think that's an awfully high margin, as evidenced by their ~$40 billion "savings account". I suppose the real crime should be that with all that money sitting around, they should be issuing dividends to their stock holders.
Here's the crime: Windows: $2.48 on $2.89revenue = 85% margin Office: $1.88 on $2.38 revenue = 78% margin Servers: $.519 on $1.52 revenue = 35% margin
<fact>I know a lot of companies that would literaly kill to get those kinds of margins!</fact> <sarcasm>But certainly windows is a bargain at their prices.</sarcasm>

Can't wait for the movie though.

I agree, as I posted above, I've got a Samsung 3500 I've had for 3 years and have great service. What model are you packing?
