If advertising is only used for marketing, and you are in advertising, then obviously enough you are in marketing.
Just as the School of Information Technologies is in the Faculty of Science, and I am in the School of Information Technologies, then obviously enough I am in the Faculty of Science.
And I did read your post correctly, you are in advertising, advertising is part of merketing, hence you are in marketing.
Why would the mascot of the Schools Project of OOo have any effect on credibility in the business world?
Having logo designed by school children for a school project is just so silly isn't it. The competition wouldn't raise awareness in the target market or anything, would it? And schools hate competitions.
And school children love boring corporate logos.
Surely you have to be able to read to be "in advertising", but obviously not...
The expansion of the universe can keep light from one object from *ever* reaching some other object - if the expansion of space makes the objects effectively receed at greater than the speed of light even though locally special relativity isn't violated (since space is being created rather than objects moving).
But even that isn't the original claim which was that a ferrous experiences a force from every magnet in the universe - clearly implying that that is the case right now, when clearly speed of light propogation means it isn't the case.
It's worth noting that the typical human diet puts them at the top of the food chain.
Even vegetarians tend not to be eaten by anything else and hence ahave nothing above them and hence are at "a" top. Ignoring worms and all those things that eat us after we die - since that's the loop in the chain making the idea of "top" silly.
Our system printed receipts for votes, had internationalization, allowed for various layouts of the ballot on screen, and made no assumptions as to how many candidates and parties there were. The ballot was configurable from a text file, and the computer could be switched off at any point during the voting process, and you could tell if the vote was counted or not... well there was an infinitesimally small chance that the power could go at just the right time... and the vote was counted before it was logged on the local machine. You'd probably have about a 1ms window to hit the power if you were trying to sabotage the system.
Not good enough. That 1ms window means the system is unusable in a real election. Transaction systems are not exactly new and neither are RAID arrays to prevent losing votes in the case of disk failure.
The only trick (other than a smooth UI) is to get the user program to send the votes to a central location. The must have been a thousand programmers in Brisbane alone who would have had the skill to do that.
You send them on a portable medium in a truck/car/whatever with a cryptographic system to make sure people can't modify them in transit or replace them in transit.
These systems aren't rocket science, they're student projects. If I had to do it again, I'd implement the whole thing in Java with a SQL backend. The java could be compiled on a single system, and then downloaded by the client voting systems on startup. Thus the police only need to audit one machine. With a team of 10 people, the whole thing could be designed, implemented, tested and documented in 6 months. If you add in an engineering team to make beautiful custom boxes (running *NIX), with nothing but a monitor, ethernet port and power switch, it could be shipped as one purpose built product.
It has in fact been done in less than seven months. http://www.softimp.com.au/evacs.html, but without using idiotic buzz word crap and instead suitable tools.
The "diameter" you are measuring doesn't pass through the center of mass. If it did it would be a circle - as 5 seconds of thinking would show you.
It's completely different from the bicycle since the bicycle uses straight sides on the wheel and a curved surface - the exact opposite of the coin.
It's the seven side version of a reuleaux triangle, the center of mass oscillates as it rolls. Mark the center of mass and roll one if you can't prove it to yourself with less than 5 seconds of thought.
And it does not have constant "diameter" is has constant "width" - the two terms mean different things (and are the same for a circle and only a circle).
The research was funded by ARIA, ie. the record companies, and hence you would normally assume the questions are phrased to try and show that file-sharing has caused them financial loss. Of course it did show that after file-sharing there was an overall drop in CD purchasing, but for this particular age group there was an increase in CD purchasing.
But my point had nothing to do with the mechanics of the study, but with the wording of the article. Which was well done, in my opinion, in that it did not state there was a causation - something which is sadly not always done.
That quote doesn't say that file-sharing helps record sales. It says "... are buying more CDs after file-sharing", which is not the same as saying "... are buying more CDs due to file-sharing".
It is stating the findings of the research - that after file-sharing that particular group of people are buying more CDs than they were before hand. Causation isn't claimed, only correlation which is the point being made.
Maybe CD prices have dropped between the before and after file-sharing time frames. Maybe the economy boomed and hence spending on CDs. Maybe the price of DVD players dropped and suddenly a large number of people had a device that can also play CDs in the lounge room.
The quote you provided makes no claim as to the reasons why, it merely states the correlation. Exactly what the "correlation is not causation" crowd demands.
If the casino would change this rule ever so slightly, and cut off betting before the ball is released, there would be no way anyone could predict where the ball would go. Casinos don't want to do this, however, because it slows down the action, reducing the rate at which money can be extracted from the customers, and quite possibly the interest in the game
It would also allow the casino to "cheat". They know the speed the wheel is spinning and they choose where the ball is released, so using the same technique as the "cheaters" (well solving for a different unknown - but they can precompute everything since they control the inputs) they can release the ball to minimise their gains.
I suspect the authorities that monitor things like machine odds would have issues with that.
2) Speed of change (not 'velocity')
At least Linux patches improve the product. You have the choice of not applying them, where as, not applying windows patchs means opening yourself to zillions of worms.
Are you going to argue that Windows patches don't improve the product? I mean, really, they're not that bad. WinXP SP2 (which I'm running at work) adds some useful enhancements like pop-up blocking, a better firewall, and several other real, tangible improvements. Even though it's in beta it hasn't broken any of our apps, nor has it opened us to "zillions of worms." We've never had a worm invade our network due to good perimeter security and locked-down workstations and servers.
Maybe you should invest in a dictionary, here let me help: not
Personally, the total number of deaths seems almost irrelevant.
If it's all or nothing (ie. either everyone on board survives or everyone dies) then I'd want to know who has the lowest fatal to total flights ratio.
If it's not all or nothing (ie. some of the crew died while others survived) then I'd want to know the ratio of the number of deaths to the number of person-launches.

Please explain how advertising is used for anything other than marketing.
And what's the point of making such judgemental comments without reading the first sentence of a press release?

Chain the kids to a stake in the front yard. If it's good enough for "man's best friend" it's good enough for the little shits.

Magnets which are outside the past light cone of a given ferrous object do not apply a force on that object.
So unless every magnet in the universe is within the past light cone of every ferrous object in the universe the statement was false.
I think the odds (given the apparent size of the universe) are against the statement being true.
I use flac for my music, but in this case the guy was rich beyond wildest dreams, and hence what would be the point?
:(
Though mine isn't on a RAID
If he has so much money, why not keep all the ripped wav files too. That way when he changes his mind codec wise it's a simple 'find' and forget.
Of course a lot of storage is needed, but it doesn't have to be super fast, and can be write-once, and he's rich anyway.
Actually, every ferrous object in the universe does have a (usually very small) force being applied to it from every magnet in the universe.
So that speed of light limit thing is just a crock?

Can you name any other "crime" 30 million US citizens are guilty of?
The consumption of illicit drugs?
Under age drinking (well supply of alcohol to an under age person)?
Supplying cigarettes to minors?
Tax avoidance?

That would be covered by the "Soyuz 1 also killed it's occupant when it's main and reserve parachutes failed" part of the post.
And yes Soyuz 11 was 1971.
Your sig:
:;do kill -9 $RANDOM; done"
su - -c "while
is silly since $RANDOM will be interpolated by the shell executing the su command, and hence the same process ID will be killed over and over.
You need to use 's instead of "s, or escape the $.
Even the headline makes it pretty clear, unless that "Dangerous" word was added after you posted of course...
