Antibiotic resistant bacteria is as bad as terrorism. Neosporin is an antibiotic. Petroleum jelly is as effective as Neosporin. Petroleum jelly is oil based. So if you're against drilling for oil you're a terrorist, right? Pretty sure I took the right message away from this thread.
Because grocery stores already have much slimmer margins than most retailers and they don't need to factor the cost to deliver to you into their prices.
It's a large enough business that they don't have a courier driving out there just for you, there are other deliveries in that area that reduce the per-order cost of the trip. And of course the delivery costs are factored in to the cost of the product.
You're deliberately misrepresenting the results of the very report you link to.
According to a massive months-long study commissioned by eight news organizations in 2001, George W. Bush probably still would have won even if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed a limited statewide recount to go forward as ordered by Florida’s highest court.
Bush also probably would have won had the state conducted the limited recount of only four heavily Democratic counties that Al Gore asked for, the study found.
On the other hand, the study also found that Gore probably would have won, by a range of 42 to 171 votes out of 6 million cast, had there been a broad recount of all disputed ballots statewide. However, Gore never asked for such a recount. The Florida Supreme Court ordered only a recount of so-called "undervotes," about 62,000 ballots where voting machines didn’t detect any vote for a presidential candidate.
The quote you chose conveniently cut out the caveats.
You're ignoring where it says 'The method of claim 1, wherein' in each of those sentences.
1. A method for removing space debris having a relatively low ballistic coefficient, the method comprising hastening orbital decay of the debris by creating a transient gaseous cloud at an altitude of at least 100 km above Earth, the cloud having a density sufficient to slow the debris so the debris falls into Earth's atmosphere.
None of those claims are general patents on physical laws. They are all specific to a satellite that puffs clouds of gas at space debris.
In fact, the article states that this textbook is a combination of chapters from three existing books. Somehow I think you could by those three books for less than $800.
Car manufacturers are already deploying automatic braking systems that do exactly the opposite of your prediction. Control is taken away from the driver when a collision is imminent.
Sneakers was a feature length film with a 35 million dollar budget and a cast of A-list actors. This is an 80 minute independent film starring the guy who played Submarine Captain Jim in Mega Piranha.
They say 41% of adults pay for digital products and services. They say 8% would stop downloading songs and digital products.
So is that 8% of the total population, or 8% of the sub-population that actually uses it and could give it up?
I suspect it's the later, in which case they may as well say 20% (8/41) of adults who pay for digital products and services would stop downloading songs and digital products. That's a much more plausible number, in line with the percentage that would drop cable tv.
They've been moving resources around for a while now to ensure that QT isn't tied to Nokia's success.
Commercial support contracts have been sold to Digia. They've been the drivers behind several patch level releases already, including 4.8.1 a couple days ago. The QT project has adopted an open governance model, with members outside of Nokia. They've moved their web presence off of Nokia's servers. They switched to LGPL licensing from QPL over a year ago.
If Nokia diverts resources progress may slow, but QT is not going anywhere. It will almost certainly outlast Nokia.
Yes, but it's also extremely harmful to the user. Their criteria is that it causes more harm to other people then it causes harm to the user. Their source is a paper titled "Drug harms in the UK: a multicriteria decision analysis" from the "Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs." It's linked in TFA.
I think I found their inspiration for the first few:
1. I am the Lord your God
2. You shall have no other gods before me
3. You shall not make for yourself an idol. . . You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God.

They're not claiming to have invented a unique mechanism. They're claiming to have implemented a useful known mechanism in a low cost material.

As I recall Cryptonomicon is well over 1000 pages long.
I'm sorry, but writing control software for a satellite isn't even the same field as writing a web application.

That aside, have you ever noticed that mass-shootings like this are almost invariably done by white men?
I haven't noticed that, no.

An X-ray image from a leased dental device is almost free (less than a hundred euros for private institutions here).
If you had to pay 100 Euros for a hamburger would you consider it "almost free"?
This is only interesting if it's true. Could you cite your source?
Bill Gates.
Maybe when you were in high school. These days it's Mark Zuckerberg.

Perhaps you mean fired? Or possibly promoted, if it's a government job.
A judge should know better than to blame the victim.
