Anyone else would point out that in the real world, clients defer to the advice of lawyers when deciding what is in their best interest, and lawyers ensure that whatever the client *thinks* is in their best interest, is in fact the course of action that yields the highest number of billable hours.
Exactly.
Fixed:
If I'm being paid by the client it is ethical to act in his self described best interests, as long as possible, because money buys stuff, like ethics and luxury cars.
That looks like a past number, the (2006) numbers look like this:
Budgets 2006 for NATO countries in billions of US dollars
Country-----Budget (in Billions) United States of America----667.7[1] United Kingdom----57.670 France----54.592 Germany----38.145 Italy----33.454 Turkey----30.936
The US spends more money on it's military than the next 5:
In fact, the US spends 3.6819728360069040437182576664112 times MORE MONEY than the five next biggest spenders on earth.
Translation: We're really fuckin' scared of other countries and will fucking kill you if you wink at us the wrong way.
The nazis made this drug called D-IX with similar intent.
D-IX was a cocaine-based experimental drug cocktail developed by the Nazis in 1944 for military application.[1] Nazi doctors found that equipment-laden test subjects who had taken the drug could march 55 miles without resting before they collapsed. Each tablet contained 5 mg Oxycodone (brand name Eukodal), 5 mg of Cocaine and 3 mg of Methamphetamine (then called Pervitin).
Congratulations, your dumb questions is just a new form of my dumb question, rewritten backwards.
See, my questions seemed non-dumb to me, especially since I'm a biology major and rely on questions concerning computer hardware/software classification specifics, to learn.
When I "attempt" to answer your Biology related questions I'll try not to do it with such a pompous response as you so kindly did.
Computer memory refers to devices that are used to store data or programs (sequences of instructions) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in an electronic digital computer.
Also in a medical context there can be one "emergency pager."
On certain days, my father would always have a pager with him because different psychologists took the same pager home on different days.
This made one contact number which would always wake someone qualified to help in an emergency.
I have no idea how many times I saw my dad stop dinner to go to the nearest payphone (mainly before the widespread use of cell phones, mind you, although this system is still used) to check to make sure the latest and most psychotic patients weren't endangering themselves or others. Always seemed like a good system, and it always got a PhD on the line within a few minutes.
Lets also not forget that alcohol IS more dangerous to overdose on than heroin.
Alcohol intoxication/poisoning/overdose: Go to the hospital and get stomach pumped, if this fails to remove enough alcohol, you're probably screwed.
Heroin intoxication/overdose
If you can get to the hospital with a pulse and aren't brain dead yet, ONE SHOT of an opiate antagonist, Naloxone, and you no longer face any threat, except for the legal thread, and if you were using long half life opioids like methadone, which would require repeated naloxone doses.
The point is:
If you're only on opiates, YOU'VE BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO BASELINE.
If you're only on alcohol, you're still intoxicated, you've just had additional fluids removed so hopefully you don't die.
Also, the most common combination drugs seen in drug overdose deaths are opioids mixed with benzodiazapines, but, there are antidotes (drug-antagonists) for both of these drug types.
You do not know what you are talking about. An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) that have more protons than electrons. Maybe you should spend a few hours on wikipedia boning up on your basic chemistry.
Maybe you should spend some more time on wikipedia.
There DO NOT need to be more protons than electrons, they just need to be a non-equal quantity so that there is a net charge, making it a negatively OR positively charged atom/molecule.
Now, what you were saying would be correct if you were referring to cations specifically, which DO have more protons than electrons.
A few days ago I received my confirmation to host a Windows 7 Launch Party. I’m very excited and I’m now in the process of getting it all planned out. If selected, you were given several options for a party theme and I ended up choosing the Family Friendly Fun theme. I chose the 24th for my party, which also happens to be my birthday. Hey, that is how we geeks roll!
They are using houseparty.com to coordinate the activities, but I’m going to use Windows Live Calendar and e-mail to coordinate most of my party. I’m not quite sure what type of party supplies they are sending, so I’m anxiously awaiting that package to arrive. Regardless, it’s going to a be a fun time to hang out with family and friends, and share tips and information about Windows 7.
If you are hosting a Windows 7 party, what are you doing to prepare?
Seriously, one of the most appreciable applications (I don't even check my voicemail on my Cure 8900) is already a duplicated functionality on Google voice (Visual Voicemail, although I understand there's much more..) . Target the Blackberry business crowd. I've been patiently for my invite to try it, and I hear the new BB 3G gets visual voicemail anyway, the rest of the late adopters will have it.
Not to mention the awesome features which Apple/Rip/Nokia have yet to attempt yet.
Stall Controlled Wind Turbines
(Passive) stall controlled wind turbines have the rotor blades bolted onto the hub at a fixed angle.
The geometry of the rotor blade profile, however has been aerodynamically designed to ensure that the moment the wind speed becomes too high, it creates turbulence on the side of the rotor blade which is not facing the wind as shown in the picture on the previous page. This stall prevents the lifting force of the rotor blade from acting on the rotor.
Pitch Controlled Wind Turbines
On a pitch controlled wind turbine the turbine's electronic controller checks the power output of the turbine several times per second. When the power output becomes too high, it sends an order to the blade pitch mechanism which immediately pitches (turns) the rotor blades slightly out of the wind. Conversely, the blades are turned back into the wind whenever the wind drops again.

So can newer Blackberry users. On my Curve 8900, Alt-Back pulls up a bar just like Window's Alt-Tab does. I currently have Yahoo Messenger, AIM and Google Talk all simultaneously running in the background.
Now, I can't open multiple browsers while browsing the internet on it, but I guess this functionality you refer to is more similar to multiple tabs then multiple browsers.

Man, people think the most rational arguments are flamebait.
I got modded the same at first for making a joke about kafka...
I think people forget where to draw the line between disagreeability and explicitly inciting a flame war.

G'day.
I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.
Please do try a diazepam or alprazolam Dave, they will surely calm you down.

Aren't the HDDs (the one's with platters) still considered memory?

Agreed. Phishing and social engineering never killed tens of thousands of Mexico's innocents.
Because it's sometimes really scary to have hundred foot turbine blades flying many many thousands of feet really really fast.
