Since these are specator sports, it is not so much about right and wrong calls as it is about keeping the game interesting. If you don't have any bad calls to complain about, they you have to accept that your team lost because they weren't as good. As long as there are bad calls you can believe that your team had a chance, and you'll keep coming back to see their chances play out next week.
By keeping the human element in the officating, we keep the games interesting. You want to keep as much to talk about as you can... entire industries are created around this (Sports Radio is a major one).
You could run the whole game as a computer simulation, but it wouldn't be as interesting.
I've been looking for band with a sound like the flaming lips off and on for the last year... it hit on the first try with a song call condition by bleach. sweet.
High energy nuclear physicists have jobs. Thus they are not tempted to work on other project that might be somewhat less neutral benifit to their fellow man.
Just fyi.... around here the local highschool football teams make enough money in ticket sales to find the program. So the tax payers get it started, but then it goes on to generate a surplus, that occasionally goes to fund other things - though not often enough IMHO.
I wonder if would a company have to offer it's website/phone support in both french and english. That might drive the cost of business up a lot.
Either way, I sure the main problem is with trade regulations and foreign customer management, not so much with physical shipping.
foreign... interesting word... I wonder if I comes from Foe - Reign: someone under the reign of a foe? Guess it wouldn't kill me to look it up would it.

That is just wrong. Most people *are* city folk. ... 60% of the US population are accounted for in urban agglomerations over 1 million people
My numbers were based on 'within the city limits' population. And by city folk I'm talking about people that live within the boundries of a major city. I can see where you'd call anyone in an urbanized area city folk and to an extent I agree, but that definition doesn't apply very well to the subject at hand of mass transit.
now anicdotally... I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, the 6th largest such "urban agglomeration" in the US. But it's still 5 miles to the nearest grocery store, 30 minutes (by car) to the nearest train station (we have a commuter rail system), and I don't even know where I'd go to find a bus. So, as far as mass transit goes, I got none even though I'm fully Urbanized. I know this isn't rare in my " urbanized agglomertation" and I don't think it's unique for most metroplexes.
Thus, and this is just my opinion, you've got to be in a very dense area to have mass transit, and the point of my numbers is that most people aren't in very dense areas.
How about this... the thing dense people forget is that most people aren't dense.
(just punning... not intented to be pointed at anyone in particular)
other have comment on how it isn't true that the public transportation is widely available... here are some numbers:
US 10 largest cities...
New York, N.Y. 8008278
Los Angeles, Calif. 3694820
Chicago, Ill. 2896016
Houston, Tex. 1953631
Philadelphia, Pa. 1517550
Phoenix, Ariz. 1321045
San Diego, Calif. 1223400
Dallas, Tex. 1188580
San Antonio, Tex. 1144646
Detroit, Mich. 951270
Sub total 23899236
US total 281421906
% in major cities 8%
I live in dallas, and I can tell you our mass transit bytes, but then it was really only started in the last 10 years. But when the 8th largest city (and the total area around here [think radio market] is 6th largest I believe) doesn't mass transit, I'd say it safe to estimate that over 90% of American don't have access to mass transit.
now compare to europe...
I don't have as much experience with were mass transit exists, I certainly believe that passenger trains are much more available but I'm not sure how often that's a viable way to commute to work. Anyway, to look at the population:
MOSKVA (Moscow) Russia 8297000
LONDON UK 7074000
St Petersburg Russia 4678000
BERLIN Germany 3387000
MADRID Spain 2824000
ROMA Italy 2649000
KIEV Ukraine 2590000
PARIS France 2152000
BUCHAREST Romania 2016000
BUDAPEST Hungary 1825000
sub total 37492000
Population of Europe 567095995
% in top 10 cities 7%
If we expand the the european list to all 36 cities with over 1 million people, we still only account for 12% of the population, 70,257,000 people.
So the thing that city folk always forget, is that most folk aren't city folk.
Obviously this isn't a UN funded study of the world's availablity of my public transportation, but just realize that living in a major city is really a fairly unique position and just because you have access mass transit doen't mean a majority of people do; in fact, it's possible that not even a significant proportion of the population does.
"Who would have guessed that China would lead the way in green transportation?"
why is this a form of green transportation? the power for these things has to come from somewhere. and every form of energy production has some form of byproduct which we commonly know as pollution.
what makes one thing more "green" than another has got to be either efficiency or renewablility (which is really just how efficiently we can convert solar power into a usable form energy) I'm leaving out nuclear because I don't know anyone (other than myself) that considers nuclear power 'green', even though everything is really nuclear power at heart. And I bet these things don't have nuclear reactors on them.
Since this is an electric motor, I assume by green we must be talking about power efficiency, not power production - unless you put petals on the bike and use the motor as a generator. I don't see anyone paying to do that... oh yeah, the people at the gym... but again, not the discussion here.
Are we suggesting that these things have some sort of super efficient motor? Typically, the most efficient thing to do is produce the power as close to where it will be used as possible, as there will be loss in transmission, since this is evidently not what is going on here and I don't see anything about a new super motor:
can someone explain...
What makes these a green transportation????
If Cryptonomicon was "merely good" I'm seriously scared of Quicksilver.
Cryptonomicon was the first (and so far only) Stephenson book I've tried and I just found it to bad to be able to read. It seem like ever other page had either a metaphor or simile that was borrowed from one of those deliberately bad writing contest.
It's been a few years, but I remember a few of them like:...he swiped his credit card like an assassin swiping a razor across his victims neck....the sailors let out a collective sigh like the entire ship had just ejaculated.
The story was almost interesting, but the delivery was so bad I gave up about 1/5 of the way thru.
What is it I'm missing that folks like about Stephenson? Is it just that he hits on geek subject matter?
I my parents had a friend who is a senior airline pilot (ie plenty of money and time). he was having trouble with his windows computer and before he even called me, he had decided to just replace it (it was an athlon 800 mhz, 384meg ram, 20 gig hd etc). fed up with it he just donated the box to me.
with out even checking the machine out, I installed Gentoo on it and it ran perfectly for several months. then portage released an upgrade to gcc but I couldn't emerge it - it just kept dying at random places. After scratching my head, I ran a memtest and found that the 128 meg chip was bad (hunderds of errors in the first test - the 256 chip was fine).
The point is, the box ran with a farked memory chip just fine under linux, except for one memory heavy task; but under windows it was throw-the-box-away bad.
no, it was more than a simple substitution... here's the text off my proxy server...
C:\Una\Files>DIR
. . . then the files in that directory scroll past so fast I can't see their names. However, if I apply the pipe function at the command prompt like this:
C:\Una\Files>DIR | more
notice that 22,000 reference has also been removed.
I never said a computer did it. My theory is that some computer saw the text in the article and flagged the page. Since it was/. suddenly the flagged page was showing up 1000s of times. This probably prompted a human investigation and a human modifying the copy of the page on the proxy server.
But what I've seen is just that the version on my companies proxy is different than what I've seen server to other locations.
Buddy works for a different company in a different state. And the company I work for has like 200,000 employees, it's unlikely that anyone could find "the" sysadmin if they needed to.
Also I'll point out that I happen to be on a segment of the corporate network that does not require the use of the proxy (I have direct access). My investigation involve me sshing home and checking the page from there and disabling my proxy. Both approaches showed the page by friend say, only the company proxy was modified.
My rt311 is the same... another poster mentioned the zyxel system - that command interpreter in the netgear machines is actually the core ZyNOS from ZyXEL. The CI Command Reference is readily available online. The only problem i've had with mine trying to forward across ports that the router uses (forwarding into my network) it uses Telnet, HTTP, and TFTP. but I can ssh into my network across it and then telnet back to the router to admin it.
Of course this thread cannot come up with mentioning LRP or some such. Actually many linux distros would work for a router with low-bandwidth, secure (ssh - as long as you're quick on the patches) interface. I like gentoo on my external boxes cause they don't run any services that I don't need and explicitly put there.
