Have you tried their store brand cola, the Sam's Choice? It's pretty crappy and flavorless. I'm not being a brand snob. Even the Shasta cola from the 99 Cent store tastes a lot better. Walmart beats their vendors so far down on price that quality inevitably suffers, and if it's some name-brand item that can't be made cheaper and differently from the ones sold in other stores, the Walmart price usually isn't that great.
I've never had a problem with the supermarket or Costco store brands. The Kirkland stuff from Costco beats the quality of many name brands.
It's easy to switch to a new search engine. It's expensive and hard to switch to a new operating system. That could include user training, IT staff training (or wholesale replacement), data migration, hardware driver support, and restrictive OEM license agreements (N/A to end users, but applicable to OEMs). The switching costs of using a different search engine are so low, you don't have nearly the potential for vendor lock-in as with operating systems.
Assuming similar levels of safety technology in their designs, size has little to do with safety in a single vehicle collision. In multi-vehicle collisions, the smaller one loses to the larger one. You either have to overbuild safety or accept more risk in the smaller vehicle. Obviously, a bicycle or motorcycle has little to no crash protection built into the vehicle. It's all in the rider's protective gear. It's a risk to share the road with larger vehicles, so bicycles and motorcycles are unsuitable to many drivers.
"Well, neither is gonna happen, which means that motorcycles remain risky."
Any vehicle more efficient than a car will probably be smaller than a car, and that smaller vehicle will lose in a collision with a car. That includes pedestrians in crosswalks. What are you going to do? Stop walking?
Not really. The iPod is as mass market as they get. They have a product lineup stretching from $70 to $400. Sure, they sell at a small price premium over comparable players, but everybody shopping for a digital music player wants one.
Samsung is more diversified in more markets than Apple, but their MP3 player lineup is just as expensive and much less appealing than Apple. I don't see Samsung picking up the MP3 player market if Apple falls. The only brand that could win by default is maybe Creative.
The only acts charging $200+ a ticket seem to be the old ones with old, rich fans. Any younger band that still cares about building a fan base charges much less. BTW in the industry, old acts like the Eagles and Rolling Stones are called heritage acts. No new music that anyone cares about. They just tour around playing the old songs for the old fans. I know Madonna still releases new albums and she reinvents herself every ten years or so. Still, she's well on her way to being a heritage act.
Here's what to do with zero budget. If you have a good size heatsink and decent airflow in your case, you can undervolt your CPU and case fans to slow them down. Just rewire the molex connectors for 7V and you're good to go. Just check your temps afterwards with lm-sensors in Linux or Speedfan in Windows.
It's a sport of skill, not of athleticism. I know all sports need some skill, but other sports balance skill and athleticism. In any sport of skill, you can increase your performance by spending more, whether it's for better equipment or expert coaching. The sensor vest sounds a lot like motion analysis. You can bet a lot of athletes use motion analysis at the top levels. The difference with golf is that hobbyists and amateurs often have a lot of money to throw at their game.
At the time of the first gen iPod, the competition was building players with 2.5" laptop drives for storage. Apple's coup was cornering the market on Toshiba 1.8" PCMCIA drives, and Apple must have gotten a good deal. Retail price on just the hard drives cost more than an iPod.
I know it's not free, but most cable company DVRs cost about $10/month extra which is about the same price as Tivo's program guide service. If they're making money at all, it's probably from jacking up the base price of cable TV to subsidize low (possibly predatory) pricing.
For connecting to single hosts like the co-located servers, you're better off with ssh. Use RSA authentication instead of passwords to be safe. A VPN is still useful for connecting a client to a network or a network to another network.
Same here. MSRP on console games is pretty standard in the U.S., $39.99-49.99 for new releases and $19.99 for the bargain bin. Walmart might have DVDs for a dollar less regular price, but they also have fewer loss leader sales. Around here, Fry's and Circuit City have the best sales prices on DVDs, but even then it's only a few titles every week.
"IIRC, the original intent of MADD was to oppose drunk driving"
Notice how you say "drunk driving" and not "traffic safety". Once you get below.08%, alcohol becomes less of an impairment than other distractions like sleepiness and cellphones, as measured both by skills tests and accident rates.
If you're suggesting I was busted for DUI, the answer is no. I don't have an ax to grind against MADD unless you count getting hit by a sober driver who ran a red light out of pure inattention.
MADD is Big Brother cloaked in "won't you think of the children?" propaganda. The current organization has very little in common with its founders' original purposes. Drunk driving is now socially unacceptable. Most states have a.08% BAC limit, which has very little marginal safety benefit over a.1% limit, yet MADD keeps pushing for even lower limits. Roadside checkpoints have been ruled as Constitutional, but they're not just sobriety checkpoints, they can check license and registration too. The current organization of MADD cares less and less about traffic safety and more about outright Prohibition.

I know you can cover it. That was my answer to the difference between the iSight and the camera screen. :-/
You can cover the lens of the iSight?

Wow, this is a first. The Walmart shopper is calling the non-Walmart shopper a fat fuck.

You can also buy Dell servers with no OS or preinstalled with Linux, even low end servers like the SC430 that make a nice desktop too.

I am not an EE, but you can try putting a ferrite core on the speaker cable.
Even when you exclude pasture and grazing land, easily half of grain and soybean crops go to livestock feed.
"it might have had to do with the 88-2 kill ratio over the Bekaa Valley in the early 80s."
For comparison, the US Navy lost 2 planes to Syrian SAMs in just one raid in '83.
Correct. It's a VLIW architecture that depends on the compiler to optimize the order of instruction to keep all th execution units busy.
