Halfway around the track, the MicroSoft jockey pulls out a gun and shoots at the Linux horse, but misses. The MicroSoft horse then trips over itself and collapses on the track as the Linux horse breezes past the finish line. The newly endowed and/or cowed judge declares the MicroSoft horse the winner.
According to Westgate Resorts' website, their annual revenue is "more than $400 million". They were fined $900,000, so that's about.2%. So in just three posts we've gone from.00004% to.012% to.2% - if we keep this thread going we can run them right out of business.

I vaguely (it was so long ago - maybe 10 years) recall either a public radio program or a magazine article about a man who wrote a book about the same idea, based on lions' hunting habits - forming a ring around their home area, and there were some examples of actual criminals located with the help of this pattern.
Then I heard an old time radio program, "The Whistler", episode "X Marks A Murderer", originally aired 1945, Aug 20. A character noted that it is possible to calculate a killer's living area because the killer heads out in different directions but excludes the area near his own home.

They didn't fine the industry $1.2 million. They fined two companies $1.2 million.

Yes, to chemists everything that is not hydrogen or helium or a non-metal is a metal. Except hydrogen. Sometimes.
My problem with Netflix is their copious popup ads, which even defeat some popup blockers. I'll never patronize them.
So by your logic we should be using very fast 8 bit processors?
General Motors (et alia?) is already selling cars with (gasoline) direct injection. Not exactly "diesel style" - they still need a spark.
