Remember when AOL was bought by Time Warner because they were panicked...
It was AOL that bought TW because they were flush with.com bubble cash and wanted to become a media giant. The old guard TW execs filtered back to the top because nobody from AOL knew how to run the show but it was still AOL who did the acquisition.
It's a nice little fantasy to think of the $1 CEO as a brave soul who is willing to risk all for their dog food but the reality is that it's a tax avoidance scheme that only wealthy people can indulge in.
I don't think reducing the number of credit card transactions actually benefits the consumer since the consumer isn't paying a per transaction fee
You pay it indirectly through higher prices on goods and services. For a business as large as Amazon's or any other major retailer, the fees on small transactions add up to a significant amount that can either be passed back to the consumer with lower prices or kept as more profit.
You missed the "with embedded metadata" part. The music industry effectively ignored CDText such that most audio CDs are dumb PCM streams with no metadata.
He didn't like my (correct) answer and insisted I must be wrong, repeatedly.
That's part of their training. They try to catch people who are lying by asking the same question multiple times and challenging responses to see if the interviewee breaks down. It's most entertaining when you get a noob who stumbles while struggling to come up with what trick question to ask next. Just be polite and give truthful responses with minimal explanation unless prompted.
Considering that the Gracenote database only covers audio CDs it seems rather pointless in a world moving toward digital formats with embedded metadata.
Mathematics is an invention by man. It "permeates" because it is the only tool we have to model natural phenomenon. Numbers don't exist in reality, there are only quantities of things. The enumeration part is solely done by the hand of man. The things we observe may self organize into interesting structures with compelling mathematical models but the universe didn't perform any mathematics to arrive at that state.
It's pretty obvious that Kubuntu is derivative of Ubuntu and Canonical is within its rights to maintain the strength of their trademark. If the Kubuntu folks wanted to be truly libre then they should have been smart enough to come up with an original name.
and those who have Windows definitely have Quicktime installed.
Quicktime on Windows is a steaming turd along with its redheaded stepchild iTunes. I definitely don't have it installed. If you can't be bothered to use a 21st century cross platform container format I'll gladly skip watching your video.
Congress has granted the IOC special trademark privileges for exclusive use any linked ring motif and the word Olympic (other than areas related to the Olympic mountains). Their ruthless execution of that power isn't typical of normal trademark enforcement which must demonstrate marketplace confusion and potential harm to business.
Failing to make a reasonable attempt to settle disputes before going to the courts isn't a good way to get a judge on your side, especially when you're clearly the belligerent party.
This sounds more like a phony story ordered by Party elites to cover up the embarrassment of failure. They can just pretend it started working again (with the camera mysteriously failing) and save face with bogus tweets and press releases.
Doctors aren't always the brightest bulbs. They're heavily educated in biology and not so much in statistics. BMI is designed to be an expedient way to assess populations or people. Its inaccuracies in assessing corpulence are smoothed out when applied to a large enough sample of people. Applying BMI to a single person and making any decision based on that result is dumb.
Biometrics don't deal well with disabled / atypical people. How are you going to validate a wheelchair bound person who can't reach the POS terminal or the veteran who had his hands blown off by an IED or the burn victim with no fingerprints?.
No he didn't. Cyclonic separators are nearly 100 years old. They have been commonly used for industrial vacuums and central vacs before Dyson came around. He may have some patents on implementation variations but the real reason why the competition waited is because the home appliance industry is slow to adapt to "new" technologies if they can continue to sell old products for a profit. They aren't accustomed to 6-month product cycles. Witness how long it took for electronic controls to replace mechanical timers on consumer washers and dryers.

You can get panoramic mirrors for your iphone and many other applications now. No BeOS required.

It's that you can't turn it off.
You don't have free will?
No. A small black hole will fall into orbit around the core and slowly devour its mass.
If it is of sufficient mass it will draw in all the light gravitationally, thus preventing the cameras from capturing said light.
It will also drop into the earth's core which rules out most limousine destinations.
So basically you want to treat your customers like dirt. I'm sure your business will find all the success it deserves.

The vendor wouldn't have been Acxiom by any chance?
Oh no. The Ohio dealers are fully gruntled.
Never go full gruntle.

that's the automatic response.

omg! could this be my first, first post! Karma! yeah!
Nice try. You still have to wait a few months before everybody else leaves for good. Then you can have FP to your heart's content.

The three sponsors of this are all Republicans.
The party of less government and pro-business.
Well my Cardiologist loves to go on about BMI...

South Carolina is now the latest entry on my list of states to never live in.

Dyson made the first bagless cyclone vac.
No he didn't. Cyclonic separators are nearly 100 years old. They have been commonly used for industrial vacuums and central vacs before Dyson came around.
