80years * 20,000men = 1,600,000 man years (24hrs, 7 days/wk) i.e: 533,333 man years (8hrs, 7 days/wk) i.e. 380,952 man years (8 hrs, 5 days/wk)
If everyone of the 20K workers were sick half of the time: 190,476 man years (8 hrs, 5 days/wk, but not working 50% of the time)
Using your data, the pyramids at Giza took 5.5 times longer to build than people have been playing COD:BO, and that's if they were a bunch of slackers who took a sickie every other day!
What in Newtonian physics precludes knowing locations or times? Especially considering that both those things are simply definitions, in terms of a locator service.
All this means is that there is an initial section of the website that doesn't use cookies, and therefore doesn't need to pass a cookie to the user. This is the EULA section.
After this, there is another section which uses cookies because the user allowed it, and then a third section which says: well thanks for reading the EULA, pity you won't be able to see the rest of the site because you clicked No.
I agree with your take on this. I am glad that I took maths and applied maths at uni, because that's been of tremendous help to me during my career as a programmer.
But nothing I learned at uni about programming or computer science has been of any use whatsoever.
Everything I know about coding I learnt either from reading other people's source code or long hours of experimentation. The rest is just experience and reading books.
Also, I devote part of every day to reading up on new or old coding practices/techniques, and I read a book a month about something to do with design, engineering or coding. If I didn't do this, I wouldn't stay current, and I wouldn't have a broad pool of knowledge to draw from.
The big question of a degree vs a diploma becomes irrelevant after a few years, something neither recruiters nor employers seem to realise.
For an accountant you need a degree, because the rules and practices of accounting are well-known and you can learn them all in a degree. This is not the case AT ALL for the ever-evolving field of programming, never mind the misunderstood field of computer science.
What is the point of standing next to someone counting the paper? Can you stand next to all of the people counting the papers, right across the country? Were you standing next to all of the ballot boxes at all times?
The paper voting system is exactly as transparent as electronic voting.
Basically, just because many current implementations of electronic voting are failures, don't blame the concept of electronic voting. As the polulation grows, electronic voting has the potential to make voting more accessible, fair and efficient. Paper voting does not.
You can cheat using either paper voting or electronic voting.
Just because you can cheat in any particular system does not make it undemocratic.
No, he's saying that until Hollywood backed, there were only budget movies. Now that Hollywood IS backing them, the site will now have first run blockbusters.
The downside of wearing are: 1) The child receives early training on how to be an electronically emprisoned parolee 2) The child grows up as a prisoner 3) The child grows up without trust 4) The child learns that activities with no pay-off but that costs a lot of energy end effort are good, perpetuating the faulty logic of Pascal's Wager that made a prisoner of people like you.
But: - All cars do not consume fuel at the same mileage ratio - Fuel efficiency cannot be "promoted". Cars use fuel according to the laws of physics. The average car owner cannot improve the car's fuel efficiency, only the car manufacturer can do that. All cars cannot be replaced because they are not fuel/tax efficient.

What terrible math!

ISS: €100 billion
In this article, information about science research is being withheld from the media.
What if the fact that this information is being withheld, were also withheld?
Now we have a media with no information, and no idea that they don't have the information, and a public who has no clue about it either.
How would you go about convincing your countrymen that this is a bad thing, if no-one, even you, knew about it?
It is not that "scientific explanations preclude God as a valid concept".
It is that "there is nothing that needs a God concept as part of the explanation for it".
Serial jokes are so lame
What do you base this opinion of Windows Live Messenger on? I am intrigued.
Please explain.

So what?

So where will you find people directly after high school that knows 3 programming languages fluently?
Why is this modded funny? I think it should be modded Insightful!
I think of myself

And what would you say to the person who dies because he/she rammed into the tailgater's car that just suddenly stopped right in front of them?
Tough luck, the tailgater had it coming?
Indeed. It is like Pascal's Wager.
The downside of wearing are:
1) The child receives early training on how to be an electronically emprisoned parolee
2) The child grows up as a prisoner

All true, but the important thing about OSS is really this: The actual possibility for many eyeballs exists.
No assumptions or predictions about the quality of the hypothetical eyeballs need to be entertained.
But when you leave school, you will find that the social stigma of geek vs. non-geek, disappears.
But:
- All cars do not consume fuel at the same mileage ratio
- Fuel efficiency cannot be "promoted". Cars use fuel according to the laws of physics. The average car owner cannot improve the car's fuel efficiency, only the car manufacturer can do that. All cars cannot be replaced because they are not fuel/tax efficient.
Amen, brother.
I can't see why this was modded a Troll.
It isn't even offtopic!
I agree with these statements. Perhaps Americans just don't like alternative opinions.
Of what worth is free speech, if it gets countered by troll modders?
Are their free speech worth more somehow?
There are CFLs specifically for outdoor use. they even work in the rain.
The problem you're experiencing, I suspect, is more due to the light fixtures themselves.
