I'm really happy with the things he's done since he took office. One of the few AGs who's not afraid to get his hands dirty, but not tabloid style dirty.
I was using the wrong term there, calling the "Guitar Hero" machine a jukebox. I thing licensing isn't unreasonable,for them. Public performance and all. But calling a videogame a jukebox is not the same since the videogame company should have it liscensed.
It's like as much (more actually, but I digress) to "listen" to a song on a jukebox as it is to "BUY" it from I-tunes or Amazon (my preference).
You'd use a certified "check" that you don't ever see from a lending company, or you get a special one from your bank. They are not talking about removing certified checks, just personal checks.
I've never heard of a jukebox owner needing to pay royalty fees. That blows! Most operators don't own the machines, they rent them from a vending company, and take between a 40/60 & 60/40 split. How much does the ascap want out of that cut would be the more appropriate question. Obviously any amount> 1-5% would not make it worth running the machine. There is overhead that people forget about. It's not just "plug and paid." You have to lease or own the space to host the machine, and pay for the power of the machine which on any large screen device can be substantial over the year.
LI-PO are NOT all the same. Nicad however were. Li-po can be shaped to fit whatever is needed. Often they are flatish rectangles, layered one atop another, side by side, or singularly like in a cell phone. Your modern cell phone uses a 3.7v lipo.
The standards, when kept, describe the battery. For example, a single cell is 3.7 V. They are labeled by Capacity in Amp hours, Discharge rate (C as in Multiples of Capacity), multiples of S or P or any combination (3s = 11.1v).
"batteries & battery packs" are made of any number of cells in a configuration such that they meet the demands of the device.
Epic is also a large company that Makes software for medical institutions.
But now that fact is out of the way, I've used UED, and found it to be amazingly simple and intuitive for someone who has little design experience. Just learn what the tools do, and use them. (Ie: subtract, add, intersect, etc..)
You never own content*, you only can own the media on which it was created. Sometimes even that doesn't apply.
*by content, I mean videos, music, games, books, etc distributed for profit by **AA that is not otherwise exclusively "given" to you (which by % isn't even worth mentioning).
Watch TV that is. Exceptions: Jay Leno, and 11:00 news (Sometimes). We are in the 30-35 bracket but have had a fair amount of disposable income, but we dispose of it into savings and our home instead. We still have TV, we even have limited cable, but I can't stand it.
We get all our other video entertainment from Blockbuster, Hulu, or Steam. I just plug my laptop into the TV and away we go!
Otherwise, it's working on the house, doing things fun w/ our time (I fly R/C, she likes to decorate), I play vids, she shops for our next vacation, we both love going places, Sometimes we even like being w/ other (gasp!!!) PEOPLE.
It's exciting because we don't feel "tied" to a show (gotta be home by 8 on Monday to watch Heroes?? Gimme a break, that's pretty damn lame.)
If you are up enough in IT (READ: NOT DESKTOP, call center or site lvl networking) You'll know that IT encompases many facets of large organizations. It's project management. It's workflow development and analysis. It's 2nd tier support for an app. It's app development & or deployment.It's comunications. It's business continuity, the glue that makes the rest of the company stick to gether. IT is what it is.
IT is not in the rain, wiping bottoms, or picking up trash. If you apply yourself, and the knowledge you have about one department relate it rationally to other departments, you can do anything you want. It could be tons worse.
The difference between an IT professional and a doctor? We both work off of "triage documents" Both cary pagers We both are told that a fix is needed yesterday. Everyone want's a magic pill or patch to fix their problem. Both deal w/ aging (hardware and wetware) If either of them screw up it could cost tons of money and sometimes cause death. Take home pay is about the same. (Though Docs tend to gross a little more if not fam practice) Both take care of people when they are most vulnerable. Both have a 100% failure rate over long enough time frames.
Doctors just have to deal w/ body fluids (yuk!), have high malpractice insurance, go to school longer, and actually have to talk to people! I know quite a few programmers and an IT guy who went on to be doctors because they saw how easy everything is once you apply a little logic to it. It's a path that I may take myself.... (or teach, I haven't decided yet)
They have the financial capabillities, the forward thinking government, and sense of urgency that such a plan may require.
There are challenges to shallow underwater building that deeper water buildings wouldn't and vice versa. I think it would be an awesome Idea well worth exploring especially if we can get a simple tidle generator to really work.
/agree. Was just going over this w/ someone in the field. It's amazing that it happened in the first place, more amazing that almost 200 patients went by before this was caught. If that happened at a larger hospital it SHOULD have been in the thousands.

All you have to do is "SKIP THE APP"
For real? is this a news story?
That was my thought. This is double dipping!

because I was on a table where the dealer was showing 6, so I split a pair of kings. My friends said I "Stole" their cards.
Boy, I never heard the end of that one. Won that hand well enough though 8')
Yes!
It's like a really really good concept production looking for VC to bring to life. I'd be proud to take it to the shark tank!
Don't forget Crysis 10
If you have 1 detection on one software suite, how many do you have on any other suite?
My gues is N +X where N is the number of suites you try and X is any positive integer >1.
