Tea Partiers are generally okay with increasing spending on the military. They generally are okay with medicare as well given their demographic. Tea Partiers are also okay with the government telling people what they can ingest and who they can marry. For all their rhetoric about smaller government, they just mean it on things they don't like. They're not really for limited or small government when it comes to issues they support.
My understanding is that static friction is greater than kinetic friction. For instance when you push say a sofa across the floor a greater force is needed to move it from rest (static friction) than to keep it sliding (kinetic friction). If you're tires are rolling they essentially keep static friction because the surface of the tire is static relative to the ground at any given point. Once the tires lock, kinetic friction takes over and your friction coefficient goes down and the tires slide. I believe engine braking would keep the tires rolling somewhat to maintain some level of static friction. ABS does the same by 'pumping' the brakes quickly over and over in an effort to maintain as much static versus kinetic friction as possible.
While I believe I grasp the idea, my terminology may be off so someone else may be able to provide a clearer answer.
Funny you say I'm wrong when you don't even understand what I'm saying. You're assuming a static production leading to decreasing labor as a result of increasing efficiency. I'm assuming increasing production and increasing labor along with increasing efficiency. So in your example you're assuming that the server farm maintains a static function whereas I am saying it should have a growing function if it's successful. So while a Wal-Mart should run with as few employees as possible it should also continue to expand and open more stores requiring more employees.
You're server farm example is stagnant. Instead of upgrading 2000 computers to 200 computer and reducing staff with the same workload. A successful business will upgrade 2000 computers to 2000 newer computers and produce 10 times the workload with the same staff. Or even better, 3000 computers to produce 15 times the workload with a modest increase in staff.
Cutting costs has a limit. Even if you were able to get the cost to zero. Increasing production on the other hand has no mathematical limit.
Yes, but it should also grow. Meaning that while your statement is true for any given point in time, a well run business should employ more tomorrow than it does today.
I would say it completely depends on the circumstances. A popup splash screen would be inappropriate. Software that was specifically contracted for would be inappropriate. A product you create and want to dedicate to someone, perfectly fine by most people's standards, especially if there's already an acknowledgement's page. A comment in code, probably fine. Coworkers? Depends on how it's done and whether he's the boss. In any case, the comment I was replying to was simply uncouth. And I don't know anyone that cares that Spybot Search and Destroy was dedicated to the guy's girlfriend.
I have to pay a punitive tax to buy cigarettes or beer. It's only a matter of semantics whether you reduce taxes for buying something or increase taxes for not buying it. I can disagree with Federal healthcare for a number of reasons, I just don't find infringing on my freedom as one of them. I don't see it as anywhere near the same level as locking me up without due process or search and seizure without a warrant. If you see federal healthcare on the same or near the same level that's fine. We don't have to agree.
I have to pay taxes that I wouldn't have to pay if I had a mortgage. Is that infringing on my freedom? That slippery slope started a long time ago if that's your argument. Now being detained without trial, search and seizure of property without a warrant those seem more of a threat to freedom in my opinion.
This gets modded up? Is Slashdot really so anti-social? Dedications aren't for other people or the dead. They're for the grieving. If it makes him feel better then that's what it's for. I never understood why so many smart people can't figure this out. You don't have to feel the way other people feel, but if you think you're smart at all you should be able to at least recognize that most humans have emotions and a grieving process.
Personally I don't think the Federal Government should have the authority to mandate health insurance. In fact, they arguably have more authority to raise a tax and provide it. Not that I'm for that either. But destroying our freedom? It doesn't destroy freedom anymore than taxing and creating an interstate system destroys freedom.
Now, both parties are systematically taking our freedoms away. You can almost always tell because the bills are largely bi-partisan. Things like the NDAA or the Patriot Act that pass with overwhelming support on both sides of the aisle. The stuff they argue about is just there to distract you and it's unfortunately working.
Abrogation is implicitly chronological but not explicit. And chronology is not a hard rule. The big problem with Islam is that there are governments based on it. When governments and religion (and poverty which has a chicken/egg relationship) are mixed the outcome is rarely good. Which verses abrogate other verses has changed over time. People believe the parts they want to believe like anything else that's based on belief.
You didn't cite anything so what is there to deny? So here is a verse from the Koran:
"Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians -- whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve"
To be fair, like any religion anyone can pick and choose whatever suites them. While all religion spouts that morality is absolute, few provide a basis for morality that isn't contradicting.
If you take one Lorcet you're not going to have any withdrawal from it. At some point a certain amount of opiate over a certain period of time creates noticeable and increasing withdrawal symptoms. I think that's all the parent was saying. Properly dosed and administered the chance of addiction should be low. Of course there is always Suboxone to treat opiate addiction. Ironically, it's also an opiate and addictive.
I'm not knocking it. I have a $99 prepay phone and a $110 tablet myself. The tablet doesn't have google play but Amazon and other stores provide plenty of apps. Came with ICS and capacitive screen. In fact I'm using the tablet right now.
After a quick look here's a $69 android phone from Wal-Mart. And while I wouldn't expect much from it, I have to mention this $49 tablet that also came up in the search for cheap androids. I mean for $49 you certainly won't be worried about damaging it. You could get one just for the bathroom.
I don't think the U3 is manipulated as much as it just has fewer criteria. U6 includes U3 so it will always be higher. Whether we use U3 or U6 the trend is the same.

Well that was totally the wrong thread.

You might have missed this part.
Editor's note: This post is a satire.
To be fair, it's very believable.
Perhaps she's referring to these results I got from Google:
N. Carolina aims to outlaw warming
Arizona legislates Women into a state of perpetual pregnancy
I don't know the validity of the articles. It's just what I found.
I'm curious how you picture society without a government at all.

ipad?
Probably less than 5% know they use open source.
Maybe we should start with people who destroy any chance of reasonable debate by boiling down every argument to two extremes.

Would this work for you?
