I once called MIT to inquire about getting license to a patent developed under a DOE grant. I was immediately transferred to their public affairs office where someone newly hired was rattling off the benefits of this act. I asked specifically about the process of bidding on the patents and was informed that for all intents and purposes it is by invitation only. The company getting all of the patents from the publicly funded research was owned by the head research scientist. Go figure.
With Steam I have to use a keyboard and sit at a desk. With a console I can sit on my couch. This may sound minor, but I prefer it. I've also long been out of gaming on computers as I get tired of how much the games tend to crap up Windows or require regular hardware upgrades.
I've long said that Xbox Live! is the world's most expensive P2P network, but for console gaming it's the very best option. What Sony and Nintendo offer is a total joke.
It was only a few months ago. Yes, they 'added' a lot of shows, but they neutered them. There would be several episodes missing from the beginning, or some such. And still nearly everything I searched for was unavailable for the streaming service, even old stuff. Since I pay quite a bit for DirecTV, I'm not willing to take on too many additional content delivery services, although I'm likely to be cancelling DirecTV soon. The content has really gone downhill the past few years, and pretty much all the shows or stations I watched regularly have been cancelled. I have nearly all the packages except the sports packages, and it blows my mind that I can't find anything to watch.
That may be. I already have gold, so I was unawares of that requirement. There are games that kids don't play, plus you can play online with your friends and hear none of the kids at all. But if you're looking for a device that just streams Netflix to your TV, you may be better off just building an HTPC as I find the 360 to be on the loud side. There are plenty of totally silent options for making something that can stream 1080p video.
No. It works with your regular subscription. IIRC, it has the same selection as the Netflix streaming service, which is to say, not much, which is why I cancelled it.
Under a gold standard gold appreciates with value over time, yet somehow we had that whole industrial revolution thing, which was pretty much purely capital goods driven, under a gold standard. I say you're fear-mongering. When you go to Starbucks, are you thinking about how it might be better to hold off in gettin' a latte until next week when you're currency will be worth more? Don't you think the makers of latte makers need to have equipment to make the latte makers? And don't they all need buildings, too?
Meanwhile, entire populations of foreign countries are buried in mass graves, if they're lucky, dissolved in a barrel if they're not.
A factory I work with has a customer in Monterrey, Mexico. They had advised the factory's sales director not to visit the city because the violent crime rate is so out of control. For all intents and purposes, Monterrey is a developed city, and it has gone backward very rapidly largely due to the funds and weapons flowing from the U.S. government. The nation is at war with itself and we feed the fire with our abolitionist laws.
Certainly the death of your brother-in-law is a tragedy in itself, but the fact that it occurred supports the argument that the drug laws don't work. It always has been and still is easier for young people to get illegal drugs than legal ones.
But on the flip side, what about the Iraq veteran who was recently killed by a swat team who thought he was a drug dealer, when in fact he was a working class husband trying to survive? That family is devastated and the kid is going to suffer terribly for the rest of his life. Without a doubt this is a family that would still be together, the father alive, the kid some semblance of normal, if we did not have a 'war on drugs'.
I know we want to believe that passing a law solves a problem, but in this case the drug laws create far more problems than they solve. The violence worldwide, the violence at home. I have a friend who went through college with a guy who ended up becoming a public defender. He tells these terrible stories of people hopelessly addicted to meth (he's in a rural area), with terrible health, no teeth; visibly, clearly in a state of helplessness, sentenced to 1 year or more for possession of a drug. This is solving problems? Making people's lives better? Improving our society? Even Pat Roberston is beginning to see the failure of these policies. Surely you can, too?
I was and electrician in the Naval Nuclear Power Program from 94-00 and they used hardly any digital anything. Motor controllers were made up of relays. Voltage regulators worked on saturated cores and such. Even the control rods were moved using AC or DC motors, depending on the plant. It seems hard to believe, but nuclear power is a technology from the 50s. The USS Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine, was launched in 1954, which I find amazing that 57 years ago they had nuclear power plants that could operate a ship while underwater, and that ship wasn't decommissioned until 1980. Yes, for alarms there are mostly just various things that trip relays such as thermocouples, pressure switches, salinity cells, etc. If you understand how the plant works, it's easy to see how it doesn't require anything digital to run. However, you could definitely save some serious cash in manpower by automating things.
I didn't RTFA, but I'm going to throw in my conjecture anyway. What about some other considerations:
Is it true that simply the most searched for terms are what the most people are actually looking for? For example, if something is easy to find, why bother doing any searching? Thus the most searched terms could be the ones that people are just most dissatisfied with in what they find. Another example, does 'cheating wives' mean that men are actually desiring to cheat on their wife or fantasize about having sex with a cheating wife? What if it's simply the best search term to find a particular style of porn and not related to the content of the 'skit' nor any desire for the actual act of cheating? Do they think the average user is dumb enough to believe the skits are spontaneous and contain real, cheating wives?
And what is the significance of evaluating searches? How many people simply go to some variety type page and pick out what they like in the feed?
I would say that on such a complicated issue, simply analyzing a table of 400 million results is not a deep enough evaluation to determine people's motivations desires, or interests.
The population of the state is arbitrary. Virgina has a population of 8 million with 100 members of the lower house, so that's 80,000 people per district. California has a population of 37 million and has 80 people in the lower house for 462,500 per district. New Hampshire has a population of 1.3 million and 400 members of its lower house for 3250 people per house. Although the ratio in Virginia is better than here in California, it is still quite larger - larger than the congressional districts were when the Constitution was ratified. Additionally, you may have a non-responsive representative in your district.
If you take a look at states like New Hampshire, where they have ~3000 people per district in the lower house, it really doesn't work that way. When constituents there complain about something, they get a real response from their representative. The opposite is true here in California where there are 485,000 people per district in the lower house. When constituents complain they're lucky if they get a form letter response. I was surprised to learn that New Hampshire does have strict laws as to parties and as such there are really only two parties, but the actual political spectrum of those parties is quite diverse. New Hampshire is one of the most business-friendly states in the nation, yet they tend to fall a little on liberal side when it comes to social policy. My opinion is that the business-friendly environment is a result of the citizenry's relatively easy access to office and the liberal social policy is a result of the beliefs of the population, suggesting that almost no matter what one's beliefs, businesses can thrive so long as the little guy has a real voice.
With some research the problems and their solutions can be uncovered. I have determined that the primary cause of the politicians' lack of concern for their constituents is that the voting districts are too huge. House districts were originally supposed to be 30,000 people and not more than 50,000 people. With smaller districts comes greater access to office because the barrier to entry is greatly reduced. No longer are expensive media campaigns and popular personalities the benefit they are when a district is 700,000 people. Another issue resolved is the effectiveness of lobbying. The number of lobbyists required to lobby 10,000 people is so high that it makes it cheaper to just develop superior products than attempt to influence Congress. Unfortunately, every part of the Government and all special interests stand to lose with by returning power to the citizens, so the resources required to fight such a battle are unlikely to present themselves.
It's a government mandated oligopoly, so innovation is going to be stifled. They aren't worried about some new upstart coming in and stealing their business.
Point well taken. I've considered moving from my BlackBerry, but I desire to store and have available to me some informations that I prefer not get into the hands of others, and neither Apple nor Google has done anything to convince me it is safe to switch.
