There is currently a $20 mail in rebate for this book at Fry's (and elsewhere?). On the 4th, this book and "Windows XP Hacks" were reduced to $20, so you only had to pay sales tax.
This deal ends today (7/8) so hurry out:

I agree that averages would not be a fair value to compare with but it seems that only 10 isn't quite enough. Part of the problem, as seen from other posts, is that the prices in a given country (or even one particular city) can vary widely depending on where you are - what the primary business in a particular area (e.g. tourism), the average income in a particular area, etc. It would be difficult to get a fair comparison between countries in this manner.
Those countries that have a high percentage of people living on
It does, as you posted elsewhere, spark debate and discussion, but there is definitely more that can be collected to get a more meaningful overview of cost of getting on the Internet in a cybercafe.
Where is the data? Are these numbers based on your "feeling" of what the typical price is? This is just about useless without the data showing location and actual price of cybercafes surveyed.
And where does this $1/day thing come from? Is that just your "guesstimate" of the standard living cost in a given country?
The merits of this type of study may be useful (though not in the context of "why don't poor people get access to the Internet for cheap") but this fails to start any meaning discussion because the numbers just aren't there...
One one hand, the bar has always been raised. Rowing has been a popular sport for some time now. But what do you do if you are in the 99.9% of the world that cannot get access to a boathouse? You don't compete in rowing, that's what.
99.9% of the people on this plant must be in a pretty dire situation if they can't find a boathouse when the Earth is 70% covered with water!
But trying to withdraw a PhD sends a misleading message about what a PhD means. It's a certification of having fulfilled certain requirements, not a grant of endorsement.
Wouldn't one of those requirements have been collecting real data?

So...you send them a plugin and they get to use it? Even if it isn't the winning entry? And you still own the license and copyright to anything you submit? And it is non-exclusive? And you sent it in by choice?
What's the problem? Since you read/. I assume your plugin would have been GPL'd in any case so I don't fully understand what the issue is...
Just curious - what were you listening to and what is your reaction now if you listen to the same song? Audible association can be very strong in instances like that.
The problem is that most everyone is familiar with all of Mr. Stephenson's books and are overwhelmingly vocal with their displeasure of Quicksilver, while those that liked it just sit back and wait for the sequel.
I liked it. It was a decent historical fiction with a somewhat decent similiarity to Pynchon books. Neal's writing is not as good as Pynchon, by far, but the end result was a good enough read to want to know what happens to Shaftoe, how Waterhouse fixes the fight, and whether predestination or free will is right.
so these traders were able to create a complex system in Excel that performed exactly how they wanted , with some minor crashes (name some user tool that doesn't crash...), and your IT department failed to find or create from scratch a system which could mimic this but didn't use Excel...how does this make Excel bad? It sounds more like your IT department is the one with the problem!
- Cryptic names for fields
How is this "stamped out in programming languages" other than convention and training? Is is forced on you? - No comments Excel can "comment" to some extent. - No obvious flow of control Some would argue that the freeform nature of a spreadsheet is what makes it so appealing. - No modularisation
- No capability to test spreadsheet sub-components in isolation - No capability to do a diff to see what's changed between versions Excel can keep track of every change made - didn't we just have an article making fun of Microsoft for this feature in Word?!
Not saying the spreadsheets, or Excel specifically, is the answer to everything.
And yet many people shop there because of the policy.
That sounds like a pretty good benefit of the policy for Marks & Spencers. I would think that the exact opposite policy (i.e. no returns whatsoever) would have an equally strong disadvantage.
I thought the prevailing hypothesis about global warming was that it would result in some nonintuitive weather and temperature changes - i.e. the Gulf Stream stopping would make things become actually colder in places.
Not to say that you are wrong and this does have anything to do with global warming, just that I think only looking at water temperature is not enough to be conclusive.
That said, jobs are being created but not much in tech.
Correction: not much in your small part of "tech" - programming. I think that the dot-boom and subsequent bust has clouded the vision of most people into thinking that the late nineties were normal...and that we only need to get back to that point of perpetual and crazy growth that isn't sustainable.
Yes, unemployment is high, but even if you count all the people that want a job but can not receive benefits and all those people sitting on their butt not looking and not caring, there isn't 90% of the population out of work. It probably isn't even 10% of the working age population.
Anecdotal evidence in a subject like this does nothing but stir emotions. It is a highly emotional subject! If you or someone you know loses a job, the impact becomes "real" and much worse than if you only read about it in the paper.
If the US does not get back to the task of creating engineers, scientist, and other people that create innovation and drive growth, it will quickly be surpassed by those nations that do. Importing that knowledge is good as well - much better than exporting it, which will happen when the best and brightest realize that they are worth more elsewhere.
Modded as funny, I know, but what is the use of multiple TLDs after a point anyways? If some company copyrights my name and has mrwa.com, can I go get mrwa.org and have a snowball's chance in hell of keeping it? Ask Mike Rowe or any of the other people that lose their domain name.
In theory, I suppose, the use of different TLDs should provide the opportunity for institutions and people to use the same website name but with different TLD (.org,.edu,.mil,.com, and the various country codes). How well does this really work, though?
Maybe it is too late, but revamping the entiresystem to base the domain names on something else would have been a good idea (regionally based? enforce the "first come, first served" mentality? something novel?)
It will take longer if you do any customizing of the default configuration (which I assume you did.) That only makes sense - considering how many computers Dell sells and the fact that they have to custom build and test a computer just for you. The default ones probably fly through the line and out the door.
1.> Have a little frigging back-bone, people. state the issue to your boss in an e-mail.
(Emphasis mine). Say whaat?
I understand why you may think sending an email is not very strong in terms of back-boned response, but it is an official means of communication at most companies and is most likely archived. These two points make an email more substantial, in terms of business, than a conversation because no one can say "You never told us about this!" later.
I'm no expert on Japan but from what I can tell the products that sell big in Japan are those that appeal to women. The woman is the one doing the shopping for the home, watching the TV, and maintaing the household in general - men are usually too busy being a salaryman and being exploited by whatever company they were lucky enough to get a job with.
It only makes sense to design and build a product that appeals to them. Regardless of what you may think is important in a printer, what matters in the end (for Canon, anyway) is how many they can sell. Appealing to women is the quickest way to sell something in Japan.
And lo and behold, Google didn't just find one, it found about a dozen. We laughed, both at the idea of googling for it, and the sad truth that there are Hamburgler fansites out there.
Well...which was it?! Was it "robble robble" or "rabble rabble"?

If you clean surfaces with water and wasabi (the tubed stuff works just fine) it will kill the bacteria.

The reason for this is?? Just curious.

That's a minus before marketing, right? Any marketing being compiled directly into the OS weirds me out!
