So A has conflicts with n clients, B has conflicts with n clients, then you have nx(n-1) conflicts, or n^2-n conflicts. However, not all clients can conflict at the same same time, so there must be (n-m)x(n-1) conflicts. Both of these are non-linear, but not exponential.
Yeah, short of everyone getting out their rifles and grenade launchers, marching down to that police station and having it out with the cops, I doubt the country will ever change or improve. As long as everyone has Sunday night football, gas for their SUV, and McDonalds to feed their fat arses, nothing will change.
I had the same thoughts, but then I realized I could buy gold and use the money I saved for a nice honeymoon. Now, 2 years later, the gold has conformed to my bone structure by bending and my bones have been saved from breaking a few times by the ring giving way. If I need a resize or replacement, I can go to any gold shop or jeweler...
Yes you pay tax at the time of purchase. If you purchase online, you are responsible to pay a "Use tax" in your state unless the retailer already collected it from you. So if a company is based in CA, and you live in CA, then you would be charged taxes for your online purchase. If you're not in CA, then you are not charged tax and must pay a use tax to your state. The reason nobody pays their use tax is because they don't have to make a payment until their burden reaches a certain amount($100?). However, I've seen companies and small businesses get audited and they have bought tractors or what not from other states and then they get hit with the tax and fines come audit time. There was recently a big class-action lawsuit about this where the consumers sued the retailers for selling cross state lines and then the consumers get nailed with tax evasion charges. I'm not sure how it turned out...
Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the roads paid for by gas tax and registration fees? If so, then federal income taxes have nothing to do with the roads.
I hear you can take a very simple relativistic effect like synchrotron radiation and strip atoms of their electrons to create a plasma, separate the charges, and store it in magnetic containment until needed. Worst case, you could transport plasma to where it's needed or else just build another mini-synchrotron anywhere you want. It's basically the same physics used in the pulsed-plasma fusion generators(although inherently easier to contain). The science and technology are out there but there's some kind of resistance to it from within academia and the government.
For god's sake, ethanol? How retarded.
Well if they had control of the machine, they could see any ODBC connections and then just run the appropriate SQL command and dump the results to a file. Not exactly easy, but not impossible. If it were a *nix box, they could peruse the users home directories and find the apps, config files, etc. Then just run a command-line dump from the DB. I don't know anything about this particular system but I can imagine it's a typical client-server model where the clients connect directly to the DB.
My guess is the front desk clerk went to a poisoned site which ran a script that took over the machine as Admin(prolly a windoze box). After taking over, it got the clerks password and his/her managers passwords(it did say backdoor trojan). Then it used the clerk's machine to login and dump the database to file, upload to a remote location, then uninstall itself. That being the case, the attacker has everything in the database for 8 million people.
Who cares? Facebook sucks anyway and is for teens with hormone problems anyway. I say let the spammers sell their penis enlargements to their biggest potential market...
Sorry, it says the debris from the other buildings started the fire. Even so, I'd like to know how the CIA was able to control the planes from the ground and fly them into the towers...
It turns out these used Pentium 90's and after correcting for the floating point error, the building was not collapsible without high-velocity explosives placed in the rivets.
1. Airplane hit building
2. Airplane get gas leak
3. Smoker light cigarette
4. Plane go boom
5. Fire go burn
Seriously though, I hear the planes had just taken off so they would've been fully fueled and that 120 Octane gas will ignite if you even fart near it.
I think marriage is a failed institution. It had it's time and now is just a formality, at best. I have yet to hear any rational arguments against polygamy. Most arguments involve "well God said...". In reality, it's much better for children to be raised by several women and it would appear polygamous men live longer. There are many societies where polygamy is the norm and people live happy lives. Most of the societies where monogamy is the norm have miserable people who feel trapped, embittered, etc. I'd be willing to bet a majority of men in monogamous relationships regret it and only did it because they were forced to...
I agree with most of the post. Well said. I think it's best for us just to move to the sidelines and let everyone else duke it out. Put your energy into something you care about. Let them have their outsourced and pirated goods. I strictly use open source now and contribute as much as I can. It appears to be having an effect.
This is a race to the bottom, and the bottom is zero(free software). The sooner good people switch, the sooner the Microsofts will fall. Just refuse to work on any projects with that crap. Stop paying for a CCIE CCNA etc because you're dumping money into the very companies that are outsourcing.
Funk that CISCO crap... BSD baby!! Wooo!!

I think Obama has taken money from certain special interest groups that will prevent him from fulfilling all of his promises.

I used to write to my representatives until they told me to fuck off and go away...
Don't go abroad. It's hard to find American food like Hamburgers, Pizza, Spaghetti, Bratwurst, beer, etc.
How does a linear function of load cause an exponential drop of performance?
Isn't that sorta like using a parabolic reflector and/or changing the phase of the signal(eg rotate the antenna)?

Get a bicycle and work in the black market(garage sales, internet, etc). Feel great, lose weight, and keep more money...

Either way, it's all the fault of smokers!! jk

What if you love 2 people and these 2 people love you? Is it a necessary sacrifice or just letting the Christian Church define everything for you?

Guidelines? Are they similar to laws? Never really pay much attention to 'em... Call me a renegade.
