If people say that, they obviously don't know the first thing about how the "greenhouse effect" works. Sunlight is let through, what's blocked is infrared radiation that results from the Earth being warmed up by sunlight.
Was there another GSA study that has the integrity of a proper scientific study? Because the one everyone pins their hat on has none.
What about the 1952 Australian post office study, the 1973 Western Electric study, or the 1978 Oregon State University one, ALL of which showed no significant differences in typing speed between the layouts.
I find additionally suspicious that the world's fastest typist uses Dvorak's keyboard layout. Hardly a draw.
Actually, the very thing you're dissing is the reason why QWERTY is a good layout for typing fast: letters that often occur together in are placed far apart. Which means that they can be typed with different fingers, often different hands. Which is faster.
You don't even get 3 MP in high-end camera phones in Europe, and they're *far* from being the norm in Japan. Most people don't even have 1 MP, though that's what all the currently advertized phones have.
For example, a recent NHS IT upgrade was slated to cost 2.3bn GBP over 3 years. The cost is now estimated to be 6.2bn over ten years, with a 12-24bn cost of roll-out [source]. That's a fairly typical example of government IT project management, whatever the country.
Fairly typical of IT project management, period. Private enterprises are, on average, no better.
Nice quote, but usually thrown around with little reflection on what liberties are essential and what safety is little or temporary. Sometimes these pesky adjectives are even omitted entirely.
People in countries with mandatory ID cards generally find this big hoo-ha about them unfathomable and/or amusing.
Sometimes, at the end of the artist's sell-by date, the record company might scrap the debt. Which would mean the artist never made much more than he/she needed to survive and cover their gear, while the record company made a small fortune out of them - remember the other $9.50 did not go towards paying off the artist debt, the record company made that clean.
Actually, no. Most of those $9.50 went to wholesalers, retailers and taxes. The record company itself gets about $2-$4 of it, AFAIK.
I believe the term came from the Japanese economy which, during the '80s, could do no wrong, until things popped. They've still not recovered. Those were called the "Bubble Years".
True, though the term used most often is "Bubble Economy", or just "Bubble". BTW, it was concentrated in the real estate sector, like your example.
I'm pretty sure PINs on bank cards were never stored in plaintext on the cards. Even the very earliest systems had them encrypted, but of course they had the retry counter also on the card, making a brute force attack on the tiny keyspace feasible (if tedious).
Such a "translation" would be beyond meaningless. The architecture is fundamentally different, and most of the P4's cycles would have to be spent on emulating/accounting for quirky little hardware details or features. That's why it takes a 100 MHz Pentium (if not more) to properly emulate a 1 MHZ C64
What a load of bullshit. If your raw material is cheaper, profits go UP, not down.
And the very fact that growing low-THC hemp is legal in Europe but it's NOT in the least little bit the inevitable commercial success the weed fans make it out to be shows their arguments for so much exaggerated crap...
code makes computers do predictable things based on a set of inputs.p You apparently don't have any personal experience writing code and witnessing what it does...
Allow me to let you in on a secret there CommanderData...it's crap.
Stugeon's Law applies, certainly. As it applies to everything else.
It's crap, it's all the same, it's not creative in any way. Anime/Manga is basically derived from about 10 stories...and then played over and over and over and over and over and over with things switched around.
Exactly the same as US (or Eurpoean) comics, then. Or movies. Or theater plays. Or novels. The last truely original story was told somewhere in the early stone age. So what's your point again?
How fucking dare you mention untalanted manga bullshit in the same breath as Crumb, Ghost World, American Splendor, Maus and countless other real art and storyworks.
Nobody did. We meant talented and highly creative manga art, such as Nausicaä, Spirit of Wonder, Hi no Tori, Domu, and countless others.

Except that this is NOT within their own rights and regulations, it's a breach of contract.

Hardly evidence for anything whatsoever.
Why?
You would have been happy with the old pre-Wapuro Japanese keyboards. About 200 keys and TWELVE different shift keys!
Actually, the very thing you're dissing is the reason why QWERTY is a good layout for typing fast: letters that often occur together in are placed far apart. Which means that they can be typed with different fingers, often different hands. Which is faster.
Certainly not ALL of them. Last time I checked, corporations did not have the right to vote or hold a public office. Not officially, anyway.
OK, so then it would only cause the phone to depend very stronlgy on which way it's held - turn around while talking and your connection is gone...
Um... if those covers really did reduce the amount of radiation, they'd make the phone STOP WORKING.
Ghoti! Ghoti!!

you could work around it simply by calling the operator Isnt.
Or even aint
Except for Bush & Co. that is, since all of the other official purposes have kinda proven to be lies (in the case of Iraq).
That's "Papiere".
So now we're basing our idea of history and politics on 30-year-old Hollywood movies?

The funny thing is that the European patent office (notice singular) that has been the main offender in this regard is in fact situated in Munich.
