Someone help me out here, but couldn't they observe it directly with earth based telescopes without having to look at a reflected image? Wouldn't a direct observation (albeit through he earths atmosphere) be better in this case?
A direct observation will be different. It's not like using Hubble negates also using Earth bound telescopes. If it doesn't happen again for a while why not use Hubble in addition to earth bound telescopes?
Right or wrong I think the transcript winds up being the collateral purchased with that debt. So they don't just buy the debt, they also got your transcript. Whether that's the technical way it happens it seems to be the end result and inline with traditional secured loans for other things of value.
I like to revisit the US Debt Clock (warning flash heavy) from time to time. If you add in mortgage, personal, and student loan debt it's about ~180k per person. $190k per household is just government debt (total debt per household is closer to $700k, nearly $60 trillion altogether). As for money creation 'Currency and Credit derivatives' are approaching 1 quadrillion.
Ha, my horse never runs out of gas. If it's hungry I just let it eat grass. This new fangled gasoline powered transportation seems pretty inconvenient.
I'm curious. Would there be any benefit to putting the NAS OS and swap drive on two of the smaller drives? They might be a little slower than the larger drives but is there any benefit to keeping the drive heads from having to switch between OS, swap, and data reads? Of course cheap RAM may solve that and I'm probably showing my age.
I'd be worried if they WANTED to be my child's friend on facebook.
So anecdotally let me say something about my ex. She taught for a few years and we didn't have children. She still had the instinct to be a mom and I think that made her very engaged with her students. She also taught at some less than desirable schools where a lot of kids are lacking with regard to their parents. Many had one parent in jail and the other working late or not around.
She was friends with some of her students on Facebook. They looked up to her and I think she felt better being a positive influence in their lives when they had so many negative influences. They both got something positive out of it. It's a shame to stop that scenario from happening because there are also bad teachers.
Now I'm biased. My ex was a teacher, my mom is a teacher, my sister is a teacher and my brother in-law is a teacher. They truly enjoy teaching and they become particularly engaged with kids that need it the most. Sometimes a kid really needs someone to look up to and sometimes that person is a teacher.
It should be taken under consideration how many kids will suffer from not being able to have a teacher be in their life outside of school. There are pros and cons to these sorts of guidelines and I think the cons are vastly overlooked. And the pros often exaggerated. I mean will this really prevent a teacher from being inappropriate with a student if that is their intent?
(Well, actually, my child will not have a facebook account until they are way past the impressionable age, but that's beside the point).
I think that's an important point. You're concerned about Facebook so you don't let your kids have one. You're being a parent and that will go much further than these guidelines will. Some kids are so lucky and a teacher can make a big difference in their lives and it's not because they taught them how to add.
So you can trust a person to have control over your impressionable young children for 5 to 6 hours a day but you're worried about them being a friend on Facebook?
Calling C# C-hash after you've been corrected is like someone looking at the X.org logo, and then insisting on calling it "greater than less than" even after being told its just X.
That's really the area I'm disagreeing with. You're assuming he has been corrected. Maybe now he knows but up until now you just can't say. It's very common for a circle of people to say something wrong (this why people don't understand that common sense is only common to your social group and don't get why people outside of their social group seem to lack it). It seems very obvious to you because you know what it's supposed to be. Even when being self taught the pronunciation doesn't always come up. You can look to see how to do something in C# and get the answer without anyone mentioning the pronunciation. It's trivial.
Go to a small town (aka 'neck of the woods') and see how many things are mispronounced. It's not a matter of deliberate ignorance just plain ignorance. Not in an offensive way, just a matter of not knowing. On top of everything else the original comment may have been half in jest and we are wasting both of our time at this point. I don't know whether it is deliberate or not I'm just not making the assumption that it is and recognize that there are plenty of reasons for a mispronunciation to occur and plenty of reasons for it not to be corrected. I would be surprised if there weren't things that you and I take for granted that are just wrong and we don't know any better because you don't know what you don't know.
Now if he had actually made an argument that the correct way was c hash that might be deliberate ignorance but he merely stated that in his neck of the words they say it one way. That's human nature and occurs all the time. Maybe I'm more forgiving because 99% of people say my last name wrong even though it's pronounced exactly how it's spelled. But I can see you are clearly right and will admit that I'm wrong.
They spy on you whether you have an account or not. Unless you actively make the effort to block their servers from loading widgets on every other page you visit. It may not link you to a name but it does link you to an IP address which often links you to a rough location (and it's just a matter of making a deal with your ISP to link the IP to your name). If Facebook ever gets an ad network going off of Facebook they will have a lot of info related to your ip to serve those ads.
You're assuming a lot though. A lot of self taught programmers wouldn't necessarily know the correct pronunciation. You're assuming he's talked to other people who knew the correct pronunciation. People don't know what they don't know and it doesn't mean it's deliberate. What's obvious to you may not be to others.
I hear some people say S Q L and others say SEQUEL. Is saying S Q L deliberate ignorance? How about GNU. I've met people who treat the G as silent and say new instead of ga new. And back in the day a lot of geeks pronounced Linux as Lie Nux. It's all in what you've heard, if you've heard it all and if what you've heard is correct.
It seems to be a common enough occurrence with many words and technical terms to indicate more than just deliberate ignorance. But if your convinced it is deliberate ignorance I'm unlikely to change your mind;)
I don't think it's deliberate ignorance. If you don't use it why would you know what it stands for. The symbol has a lot of names and if you asked 100 people what they thought it stood for sharp would probably not be at the top of the list. It's entirely possible to do a lot of programming and never use it.
What's the problem. This sounds like a revolution in web 2.0 synergies. You win and your friends win by getting vital decision making information regarding the brands they already love. For more information just follow this link?spammer=on&friends=off
What I find interesting is that when film at 24 fps is converted for NTSC at 30 fps it means every second 6 frames are added. It's more complicated that just duplicating every fourth frame but it doesn't add any additional information either. 1 frame is added every second for PAL.
On a side note NTSC and PAL are what they are because tv was originally interlaced and ran with the frequency of the electricity used. So in the U.S. TV used to run at 60 frames interlace producing 30 full frames because electricity is 60 hz. Countries that ran on 50 hz got 25 fps.
Sixty percent believe in the story of Noah’s ark and a global flood, while 64 percent agree that Moses parted the Red Sea to save fleeing Jews from their Egyptian captors.
And
The poll found that 75 percent of Protestants believed in the story of creation, 79 percent in the Red Sea account and 73 percent in Noah and the ark.
61% of Americans thinks the stories in the Bible are literal truth according to the Washington Times And that's all Americans, when you look at protestants and evangelical protestants the percentage is closer to 80% and 90% respectively. Catholics are split.
Are you sure about that? At least according to this article only 7 schools did that in each year of the 5 year period looked at.
Counting only revenue generated by the athletic departments — including money from ticket sales, donations, radio/TV and marketing rights payments — the number of schools able to cover their athletic expenditures fell to 14 in 2009, down from 25 the previous year. This measure of generated revenue against total expenses is the yardstick the NCAA uses to determine whether an athletic program is self-supporting. Only seven met this benchmark during each of the five years studied: Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana State, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.
Leaked? It wasn't exactly leaked, Google put it into their prospectus when they filed their IPO. From the wikipedia link:
Buchheit, the creator of Gmail, said he "wanted something that, once you put it in there, would be hard to take out,"
It was an intentional deliberate statement that Google wanted people to know. Or from Google's Investors Page Code of Conduct. It's not a misunderstood or leaked idea.
napping for 75 minutes instead of the maximum 40, as the disorientation and confusion stemming from deeper sleep was the culprit in this mix-up
That's a problem. And possibly one that could have been avoided. Also, from the summary.
However, the Air Canada Pilots Association, 'has long pressured authorities to take the stresses of night flying into account when setting the maximum hours a pilot can work,' taking into account that North Atlantic night-flights are hardest on an already-fatigued pilot.
The problem isn't the way he reacted to what he perceived as another plane, the problem is that he had that perception in the first place.

I hope the FTC takes interest and clamps down hard on such practices.
I hope not. FTC regulations would lock out smaller players and strengthen larger ones.

Report Gamemaker to Google. Maybe if they are removed from all search results they will run out of money to carry on this annoying spam campaign.
