A square meter is the area of a square with 1 meter long sides. A square foot is the area of a square with 1 foot long sides.
9 square feet, would be the area of 9 squares with 1 foot long sides. Which if it was a square would be 3x3 feet.
It isn't nearly 9 square feet, it's over 10 square feet - though they are probably converting the "about a square meter" part not the "square meter" part.
Especially when combined with a rental car with a very different shifter than you are used to. And a stupid ignition system in which you have to push down a button for a few seconds to turn off the engine.
You would hope police training would have gotten the panic out of him, but obviously he wasn't very good at that part of the job...
How does the share price going down cost Apple anything?
Sure it costs the shareholders something, but why Apple itself?
Are they borrowing so much money that a 5% drop in their share price has upped the interest rate they pay? Are they doing a share issue to generate cash?
Wouldn't it reduce the cost of any stock/stock option components of remuneration packages, and hence save Apple money?
Toyota collected a large percentage of the cash for clunkers money, which as supposed to go to Ford and GM. They've now been sufficiently punished and we can return to the usual "people do dumb things, especially when panicking".
I spend 90% of my time without shoes on, and spend a lot of that time standing and walking. I don't have arthritis or any problems with my feet or legs.
My kid gets on the bus at 8:30am and is off the bus at 3:30pm, which I guess is 7 hours if you are counting the bus trips themselves. If course he's grades 1-3, the middle schoolers have a longer day.
Now my is a little shit and hence in trouble all the time, and usually deserves it. But you can see it crushing any creativity he might have had as he gets in trouble if he does anything slightly "different". Of course he's stuck because he got in trouble so much that now he gets in trouble for things that other kids wouldn't.

The Creativity Crisis
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
School lasts 6 hours a day, which is a pretty big chunk of time. And a lot of that time is spent turning kids into uncreative conformist machines - if they resist that then they label them ADHD and drug the creativity out of them instead.
But yes the fact that lots of families need both parents to work in order to make ends meet (though that pre-dates the 1990s a little) and that childrens' activities are far more structured than they once were isn't helping.
But basically Jackson had a gross cut contract, and claimed that New Line sold some of the rights to things like DVD distribution to other Time Warner companies for lower than market value - which of course reduces their gross (and hence Jackson's cut).
I think they settled, but I didn't really follow it closely - it's a pretty obvious technique though bound to get you sued...
That wouldn't matter, since that just lowers the net, and he had a cut of gross. Though I'm sure other people had a cut of net, and maybe he had a cut of net as well in the mix.
Some students still blatantly copied/"worked jointly on non-group" assignments. Of course they mostly fail anyway since you can't copy during the exams and mismatched assignment/exam marks was the red flag I used to look closely...
I'm sure some slipped through, nothing is perfect. Just hope they don't write the software used at your bank or in your pacemaker...
Slashdot Mirror
Is that a particularly stupid place to actually merge, and only an idiot wouldn't wait a little while?
If not, then how is that at all relevant?

That doesn't lose Apple money, that loses managers money and in this case they are covered by the already mentioned shareholder category.
The emergency brake stopped working too? Amazing how so many unrelated things can go wrong at once. Or the driver pushed the wrong pedal and kept doing so as panic set in - something we have seen numerous times in numerous different cars, e.g. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/mar/22/license-suspended-elderly-driver-costco-crash/
Those sexist ageist brake lights piss me off too.
Panic does that to you.
Especially when combined with a rental car with a very different shifter than you are used to. And a stupid ignition system in which you have to push down a button for a few seconds to turn off the engine.

That was the point.

Because everyone who wants (and can reasonably afford, or has a credit card) an HDTV already has one.
Sony, etc would like some more money and hence some reason for those people to buy a new TV.
Toyota collected a large percentage of the cash for clunkers money, which as supposed to go to Ford and GM. They've now been sufficiently punished and we can return to the usual "people do dumb things, especially when panicking".
If the accelerator is stuck open then it is impossible to stop the cat with the hand brake.
If you think otherwise then please explain how my wife managed to drive for 20 minutes with the hand brake on.
Did the placement/shape of the pedals magically change on existing cars in the middle of 2009?
fucking awesome.

What's a "real instrument"?
Is an electric guitar less real than an acoustic guitar? Why?
Is a synthesizer driven by keyboard less real than a violin? Why?
Why does the mechanism to create the sound waves make a difference to whether something is music or not?
And poor child molesters spend years in prison, which also incurs a cutting back on luxuries.
Don't steal the fucking music in the first place seems the simple solution.

Gross doesn't cut it always either, see Peter Jackson and Lord of the Rings.
That's because you contract doesn't say "will be paid X% of gross income", whereas Peter Jackson's did.
And of course he did get paid, he just got paid less than he should have because New Line sold the rights to sister companies for below market value.
When I taught I did all those things.

Why would you avoid saying that?
Or the lower you grades, the more likely you are to copy your homework because you can't do it.
