Although it might cost more to feed them it will probably yield a higher grade meat. Less fat = higher grade = more money for the meat. Think of the texture/taste of buffalo (if you have ever had it). If every cow tasted that good then I'd be willing to fork out 20-40% more per pound of beef.
Simple solution. Use a sealed bag. Have the 'offender' sign the bag and turn it over to the cop. That way they know what bag the cell was placed in and can see if the seal was tampered with/opened. Add $5 to the processing fee to cover & profit from the bag and voila!
How come whenever it comes to win/lose with business the only factor really looked at is bottom line profit? If I'm reading the entire situation correctly Google is set to win, big, on this decision. Sure they'll be collecting less profit from a major country in the world economics but they save on a number of levels often ignored:
1) They've already faced legal battles regarding the security of their accounts and information. Fighting court battles isn't cheap and the press related to "Google accounts hacked" doesn't bode well for them anyway.
2) Stepping back from a country who has values different from the majority of Google's "customers" will save it from requiring a highly diverse business plan when not necessary. I'm sure its not cheap to run an entirely separate company from their own in China.
I'm certain there's more but there's a little summary, feel free to add your own. Essentially I feel Google wins, sure, they don't have a higher bottom end profit but if they are still in the black at the end of it all then they've bought themselves enough time to re-evaluate their Chinese venture or anything else for that matter.
The private copying levy is distributed as per the Copyright Board's allocation as: 66% to eligible authors and publishers,18.9% to eligible performers and 15.1% to eligible record companies.
I may be wrong but aren't the Record Companies the Publishers?
In some cases yes, record companies also publish music. I know a couple people however who have published albums for local bands but wouldn't really qualify as a record label. So while some receive both percentages, others will only be applicable to one.
I find Wikipedia to actually be a useful source of information when doing research. Its essentially a summary of anything useful to you. If you go to Wikipedia and find 'factual information' that is useful to your research then follow it up with the cited source. If the source proves to be reliable then cite that on your own work and not the Wikipedia article you located it on.
Wikipedia is my modern librarian. I go there looking for a summary of resources that I can use for my paper then look them up online or at my university's library/Amazon/etc. Its much easier then attempting to find the useful sources from scratch without any knowledge of the content.
I agree that simplicity of code is the underlying factor here but coming from someone who's been coding in assembly for the last four hours (Shoot me, please!) I honestly don't understand why the libc library was included when not called for.
I'm far from an expert on the intricate workings for C but I'm under the assumption that making a check if the library is required or not is fairly simple.
The author is trying to highlight that amount of bloat in modern programs is so rampant that even "Hello World" is excessively over sized for what it accomplishes. How can we as programmers expect fast, efficient, lightweight code when our compiler (even ones as popular as gcc) are bloating the program without being asked to?
I believe its because Pink Floyd is not worried about their wealth but rather the distribution of their art. The concept is crazy, I know, but there are people out there who do things for other reasons than greed in today's modern world, despite what EMI will have you believe
When I was young my dad would take me out shooting. He has a couple 9mm handguns that I needed the pointer from both hands to fire, but he had a revolver that I swear I could fire by breathing too hard on.
Scalping can be good too... My girlfriend wanted to attend a concert because of a certain artist playing. We bought the tickets and a month before the event the artist we desired cancelled. The other artists were still performing so Ticketmaster refused to issue a refund because our preferred artist was listed as "a guest" and not headlining the show. What did we do? Got our money back. I'd be out $180 if scalping was illegal.
A professor in my first year of university told me something that has stuck with me for years:
"You can never design a product that will never fail. Whether it is your incompetents or someone else's the product will fail. As an engineer it is your duty to provide fail safes as to not cause any bodily harm to the user or others."
I still wonder where the engineers where who saw the flaws in the system two years ago. I don't believe that this 'software' issue went unnoticed for THAT long.
Ok, plane and maintenance cheap? Sure. But what about the cost of the license? It isn't cheap to get enough hours in to be a certified pilot as he was.
I had a temporary position at a MAJOR telecommunications company a few months ago where they asked me to construct, demonstrate and analyze a tracker. "can't afford" is poppy-cock as one can be set up for pennies. I was able to construct a tracker server from a run-of-the-mill HP computer (you know the kind that EVERY corporation uses for its employees). On top of that it only took about 2Mbit of upload bandwidth to support upwards of 20,000 connected peers. It also had zero maintenance to keep running under a Fedora 11 destro of Linux. Hell, I had a harder time keeping my network monitors running than I did the tracker.
I understand that the bandwidth goes up significantly if you're also using your tracker as an initial seed but that is also a trivial factor after the torrent has been circulated enough to let the swarm take over.
Yeah I agree, I came here about to say this but apparently you beat me to the punch. I just think that it must be Wacom wasn't a cool enough name for Slashdot's frontpage and had to have something with "Quantum" in the name to justify it being 'revolutionary'
It is sort of obvious that you haven't invested the time to fight the "unnatural" feeling to work out. Yes, when you start to jog/lift/stretch/etc. it sucks. Your body wants to quit early and you feel like crap the day after but that's because you're attempting to change something your body has developed a habit for. This is like eating. If you're used to eating huge portions (above what is reasonable and healthy) then going to a regular portion sized meal looks stupid; you want more!!!
The reality is that your body is habit forming, you can force it to learn new things. In my case it took about one month of 'forced' workout sessions to get into a rhythm. Now, I'm sitting between classes at my university and am itching to get home to my treadmill to get a dose of the runner's high.
TL;DR: Yes its unnatural to you now but if you force the action it becomes habit and actually becomes difficult to give up in the same way it was difficult to start.
I didn't say they were equal, I just hope they speak up so that government understands that this isn't a one sided situation where no one else is effected by RIAA/MPAA lobbying.
Is it just me or if this comes to a standoff the US will lose? I seem to recall a story that US manufacturers of products like Chocolate Bars begging to increase import because they couldn't maintain quota with the amount of sugar available to them (through homeland growers & laws limiting import). So when they try to block Costa Rican import for their arcane laws will they crack when major US corporations come knocking on their door demanding to know where their product is supposed to come from.
This story just shows how the government is run by lobbies who have the government push their agenda. I just hope it goes both ways where those who are effected by the import ban speak just as loud as the media corporations.
I completely agree; how many kids these days can say they have scars from falling off their bike? Know the pain of a leather belt because they stole someone else's toy/candy/dignity?
I'm the evil old man (well, 22 isn't old) when I tell a kid to learn some manners after he/she just told me to ST*F*U even though their parents are right there and they're like 6 years old. Parents need to take responsibility and learn that a child is a 20+ year commitment and if you're not willing to invest in the first place you should just keep it in your pants.
Go easy on him. He's probably new around here and hasn't noticed that the html break is required to seperate lines. Again, preview is probably an awesome venture but whateva.
I humbly disagree. I know your post comes off as very whiney and potentially a troll but in the Arena competition the gear is equal. You pick the gear you want and it removes the element of randomness. So when everyone is on the same gear plateau what establishes a better player? Skill. RND only accounts for a small bit and that is no different from the majority of sports out there.
Sure games like Starcraft (the only one I have personal experience with on your list) may require a different set of skills but when you watch the pros there are very few innovative players. There's the 2 or 3 typical builds for each race/race match-up and the only time you see variation is when someone is in a position that a loss means nothing.
I have a good friend striving to become a freelance artist. He started selling T-shirts on cafepress.com before they screwed the artists. He created fake social networking profiles on bebo, myspace, facebook etc. to gather random friends and promote his merch. He googled a random female name "Susan" or something, pulled up a random model's image, touched it up to make it look "human" and generated his profile. Its fairly common practice.

Mod this guy to the sky! Khan Academy can be found on Youtube as well. He helped me through numerous topics in differential calculus!

Problem is with Windows, not IE.
