    Here ya go. Happened a couple days ago. Patiant came into a hospital and started shooting. It was a gun-free zone but one of the doctors had his gun anyway and killed the guy.

    And also there you go. A group of people stood up against a branch of the federal government for something they believe in. No shots were fired, but they were prepared to. The BLM backed off.

    Obviously these aren't the only ones. But they should satisfy your criteria.

    I I've seen this exact thing at the Dominicks food chain here in chicagoland. When you walk in the store there are mobile scanners you can grab. Scan as you go. On your way out you put it in a docking station and pay for it. Done.

    Admittedly i never used it as I Always preferred the Jewel-Osco chain. I dont know if all of them have this or if it was just the one where i used to live.

    In addition to what jittles said, you can time the firing of a laser a lot more precisely than you can a spark. And, you can do things like multiple bursts (aka sparks) for a more complete combustion cycle a lot more efficiently.

    On mine (Win7 64 Ultimate) it shows different stuff at the bottom depending on how much, and how diverse what I selected its.
    A few mp3s for example show a bunch of information related to ID3 tags.
     
    The entirety of my WoW folder however shows "30 items selected. Click for more details" If I click it, it shows just that 30 items were selected, and the range of dates they were modified.
     
    If I select the entirety of the folder, excluding the sub folders it shows "20 items selected. Click for more details" When I click it, it shows ranges for Date Modified and Date created, but also the total size.

    Then again, I still don't have a microwave and the only reason I have a TV is because someone misunderstood me when I said 'I don't have a TV' and gave me one..

    That's exactly how I got my TV! Guy at work bought a new one, and showed up at work one day "You don't have a tv right?" "Nope" "I got one for you" "....k"
    And my Microwave I got when my mom came out to visit for a week...while I was at work she bought me one.

    And on top of that, if you click on the actual Lincoln Memorial, it shows a picture of the Washington Monument. Maybe its a view FROM the Lincoln Memorial, but I think it should be a picture of the LM itself.

    If the usual rate of dropped calls is 2%, just to take an example, #1 is actually 50 times worse than #2. #1 means that the rate is increased by 1

    50% worse is not the same as 50 times worse.

  14. Re:Thank God for standardized testing on The Creativity Crisis · · Score: 1

    That would make sense if they also had a formal procedure for doing the repair work as well. But seeing as they don't I have to go with the fact that my supervisor has never built or taken something apart in her entire life. The other shift supervisor is a lot more laid back when it comes to not following the written process exactly. He however, came up from the floor.

    And I do believe that being a fortune 50 company, they have the lawyers already on staff.

  15. Re:Thank God for standardized testing on The Creativity Crisis · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm seeing this even in my work. I'm a mechanic at a large wind turbine manufacturing company. Recently, I moved from the repair side of the business to the new unit assembly. There is a written procedure, from our parent company in Germany (which sucks major balls I might add) to do the new assembly. Any deviation from the written procedure is severely frowned upon. I have found, based on my extended skill-set as a repair technician vs the people who are just assemblers, easier and faster ways of doing things. However, I have been scolded by my new supervisor for doing so.

    It really chops my ass, but you're right. Doing things in creative and different ways is not acceptable for whatever reason...

    How about taking the whole damned paragraph instead of just the part that you like"

    The quality of the pixels you see impacts how you use your computer. After years of experience, Apple engineers have discovered the ideal resolution to display both sharp text and graphics — a pixel density of about 100 pixels per inch (ppi). Other vendors may offer a larger monitor, but with less resolution, so you end up with fewer pixels, or a smaller monitor with a high resolution that causes eyestrain and headaches. Apple’s balanced 100 pixels per inch format is optimized for images, yet allows you to easily work with text in email, Safari and sophisticated type treatments in layouts.

    They even state that its a trade off between good image quality, and good text quality.. Hence that word BALANCED in there.

    Now, don't ask me why a lower ppi is good for images, doesn't make sense to me. I just wanted to bring the whole paragraph into play here.
