I don't think the amps change dramatically for the voltage, in fact I think the voltage is to save amps. I'm just guessing, but I bet a 40 amp dryer is so that it can run at 110. Though I don't really know, the dryers e had have been 110 and 20 amp, but really woulda benefitted from double the power (still, gas is king in overall wattage, one of the wins to city living ).
If more and more album sales are replaced with the streaming, the royalties will go up.
2300/1000000 =.23 euro cents a play.
20% (high typical artist take of a 20 dollar, so I'll assume euro too, CD sale) * 20 euros (high CD price) = 4 euros per album sail. 4 euro /.0023 euros/track listen = 1800 track listens, or 150 album listens. I gather that it may take a little longer, but that spotify benefits the artist, not harms.
I wonder what the average use of a typical CD is, but I bet 150 hours is close, maybe a little high, but close.
Most households probably have it, because it's worth it for most everyone after a certain income level, but if one doesn't need a real computer, they are much more likely to be below that threshold of income.
People without a computer benefit more from a smart phone than those that have one. And if you are working poor to lower middle class, you likely will invest in a smart phone before cable, or broadband and a computer (I wouldn't, but I'm more of a techie than most people).
I am not saying cable is stupid to have, or without perks, simply that it is a luxury, much more so than a smart phone.
I was responding to the sentiment "Why would someone living on such slim margins buy a smartphone and its expensive data plan in the first place instead of buying a dumbphone? A lot of smartphone customers are paying $80 per month; I pay that much per year for my dumbphone.". I was pointing out that $80/month is high for a smart phone, and that if you don't have a computer, the value of a smartphone is higher.
For you and I a smart phone is pretty much a luxury item (I use mine some for work too, and initially that was a justification, but my work usage has stayed flat, and now about 90% of the usage is convenience / pleasure-use rather than needed work), I choose to invest in one, you don't, but it's not nearly as much a necessity as it is for someone without a computer and internet.
If your dumbphone is $80 / year, you don't use it that much, so I assume it's not a primary line. I am not trying to say everyone needs a smartphone, simply that those that are poorer need one more than you or I.
A smartphone does a lot of things 100% better than nothing.
Do they have internet? Do they consider that a given?
My point is really that smart phones ARE in fact bringing people into the information age, the type of people that didn't have a computer because it was essentially a luxury (like cable) to have computer and internet. As time went on, not being able to buy online (saves money), e-mail (makes it a lot easier to get a job), and keep in touch in other ways (Facebook etc.) pulled people out of the mainstream. People on a budget get pretty decent return on investment from a Smartphone, because it's not home computer + internet vs home computer + internet + smartphone, the smartphone IS the computer. It has converged most of the fringe benifits of having a computer in the internet age (information and communication) even for those that can't afford a computer as a luxury and don't need one for work/school. Keep in mind that a lot of these people don't have access to internet at work either.
I just don't understand were the hate of people paying the extra for a smart phone with data plan comes from, I assume it's from people that take having internet, and a computer at home as a given, which, even today, leaves a lot of people behind (I'd bet home internet penetration in the US is about 66%, though I haven't lived in a poor area for 3 or 4 years, so things may have changed. I do know that people there getting iPhones was a big deal though.
It'd be heck trying to key a post like yours into a touch screen.
and many of my past posts would demonstrate you get nonsense frequently, not that a keyboard guarantees sense.
Besides, what's the good of having an e-mail address if it's hard to type an e-mail?
"we just reviewed your application, can you come in tomorrow for an interview", "you're bank account balance is at", those just off the top of my head. Short emails far shorter than this post are relevant often times, being able to get them demarginalizes someone. Just knowing, OK, if I go to the library now, I can type the long response to the email I've been waiting for. E-mailing pictures is useful too, e.g. take photo of damage, email to insurance company. Texting is a pretty relevant form of communicaton too, and even facebook, one is far better with a good phone, the other requires internet.
In addition, experienced Internet users tend to use services such as YouTube and Netflix that would quickly deplete the 5 GB per month of faster-than-dial-up Internet access.
Experienced internet users are generally at least middle class, and can afford a $400+ phone the insurance, and the $200 replacement if it breaks, I was commenting on the implication that a smart phone is a luxury, it's only a luxury if you assume home internet is a necessity (I put in low prices for that too), for me home internet, and a mid-end computer are an absolute necessity, my smart phone is mostly a luxury, but well worth the less than $3/day it costs me. The availability of smart phones for an extra $35/month ($300 contract price/24 + $25/month) was more relevant to the poor and lower middle class than to those with more money, because for the first time ever they had convenient internet access.
Do these people with a smartphone and no home PC also rely on free-to-air antenna TV
Yes, if you don't need home internet, and live in a city, why would you pay for TV? much MUCH cheaper to buy a playstation or xbox and a few games (used PS3 or Xbox is about 3.5 months of cable, a new AAA game is 1 month cable, or 2-3 reprinted as classic edition games), another month for an extra controller, and cable turns out to be expensive entertainment. When I moved out of home, just as broadband was becoming available (early 2000s), I paid $10 for dial-up internet, $30 for phone, forwent the luxury of a cell phone, and definitely wasn't about to pay another $60 for cable, we didn't even have decent OTA then. I am a media consumption junkie too, but video games are just way cheaper (I was taking a class too, so I needed a computer).
But you probably need a computer and home internet too (and have them).
Plenty of smart phone users have neither, and yet can't afford to be completely marginalized.
home phone $20 (I think) + home internet $30, so that's $50/month.
looks at Tmobile ($30/month + $.10 / minute over 100 minutes, unlimited texts, 5GB fast data) or Metro PCS ($50/month unlimited text and minutes, I forget how much fast network), the extra couple hundred dollars for a mid level smart phone (Nexus 5, iphone 5c for example) vs low end computer is well worth it and the same monthly cost.
That's assuming that all one needs a computer for is to look things up on the internet and have an email address, if someone needs a computer to write, or some such (for example they have school aged children) it obviously isn't a substitute.
You could argue library, but the advantage of having ready access to the internet is pretty big vs having to take a half day trip to get the access, and plenty of the working poor are capable of figuring this out and making a decision.
I believe hair-trigger throttle is listed as one of the issues in TFS. I'd assume this means that keeping it at sane speeds around corners is part of the trouble (still don't think it's "too dangerous", it's not like their a common car, the impact is minimal.
Should probably have optional traction control though.
The graphics focus of LOGO has the pro / con of requiring visual thinking.
Basic was great because I could understand what was going on and make changes, and it came on all computers.
Granted, I don't really know LOGO, I'm just commenting from how things went, and I guess your point is that simple if/then type long chains is bad, but I think that something like basic, with actual functions would do a large part of the trick.
I don't see where the evil of python is (or really any other language with functions), and I haven't seen many lessons that start with the libraries either, that part always seems to be at the back of the book.
Of course I'm probably a spaghetti messy coder, as I primarily write small scripts to make my job easier, and am not a real programmer.
It's really not their job to draw the line, they are arguing that the line goes passed these animals, and if it does, they can make another argument for another animal, with the framework for what counts started already. The judge makes the call.
I'm pretty sure the judge will define it as a born homo sapien, making it pretty cut and dry. Otherwise they risk people with reduced facilities not being people. If the judge comes up with some other definition of personhood, it will be up to a jury to decide weather the animal meets the definition (unless all parties agree that the animal either does or does not).
Was there any point in time where votes were counted at 3/5s?
I know population was for the sake of having representatives, but that was really a way for the south to stuff the congress with people favorable to the white population's agenda, as the 3/5 counted people got zero votes. Essentially they counted as 3/5s of a person represented by someone against their interests.
I'm not in a field paid with insurance, and I can see what you mean about them not knowing what they're getting, considering any time I've received care, they send the whole amount to the insurance company and then reduce it (as shown in my EOB).
We don't do it that way where I work, of we are a small company, so it may be less strict.
We use accrual, but we reduce the invoice amount with a discount, thus dropping the revenue. We don't say we made the full amount, then drop it when we are paid.
The way I see it, the reduction in income happens at the moment of procedure (as much as the income itself does anyway), but I'm sure there are reasons and ways to legally do it other ways.
For example perhaps the insurance discount comes with payment at a certain time, that style discount would accrue at time of payment, also perhaps booking it as a "payment" from doctor to insurance company may give the doctor a better idea of the cost of business with such and such a company.
The problem with LOGO as a kid was either limitations of the language or the way it was taught.
Basic was fun, you could program games (really really shitty text adventures, maybe with a little non deterministic combat even, guess the number games, craps, simple character based action games (or modify ones that came in magazines)).
LOGO may teach concepts of building blocks and using them better, but all that was really covered (in my upbringing) was drawing shapes. Sometimes it was a robot turtle, which was kind of neat, but primarily a diversion.
At that age, the learning of concepts wasn't enough of it's own reward.

Not if you have a magnum
Did you even read tfs? It doesn't draw 1kw, it draws 1kw/hour, that little energy over the life of the car is practically nothing.
Just like when CDs came out, and Tapes, people replace the old media with the new, and people get a boost.
I suspect spotify will drag out the curve some, because the radio play side will pay more.
That's a silly sentiment.
If more and more album sales are replaced with the streaming, the royalties will go up.

4 euros per album sail.

Well there's more cars and less danger now, perhaps these features help?
Also, cars a lot more baller. I can't drive a carriage, or ride a horse, but people used to do that just fine.
OTA gets local sports, and Meet the Press though.

By optional I mean, can be turned off.
Interesting, because banning the fools sounds like a literal description of the majority of pro-guncontrol people's opinion is in the US.
Considering we don't ban the fools now, it sounds further left than current policy pretty much anywhere in the US.
Is that pro or con gun control?
Can they?

In a high-end sports car you should definitely be able to turn it off at least.

Thanks, I purchased it assuming that's the one you meant, I was somewhat unsure as they don't call it pro (simply dropping the lite).
My only gripe is that I can't use anything over 1080P (there's a checkbox to enable higher resolutions, but it doesn't appear to actually allow them).
I loved the gif making, and it is indeed fast.
Also, the lite version is pretty complete, so good on them for being cool people.

No way, that proves that prayer taps our spiritual energy and power.
But anybody knows that it has to do with the connectedness of the universe, and not "God", duh.
