Actually, New Coke nor the return to Coke Classic was reversing the market share trends, it was the often overlooked Cherry Coke which was introduced at the same time. But what it did is strengthen the Coke brand as such, because there was never so much publicity about Coke and it's distinguished taste and the values attached to the "traditional Coca Cola" before, and no advertising campaign would have had such an impact.
Actually, the headwind drag is a function of speed. It's proportional to the square of velocity. Thus there is no single point where the headwind drag suddenly increases. If you drive 40 mph, your headwind drag is four times the headwind drag of driving at 20 mph, but only a fourth of the headwind drag while driving at 80 mph.
But the chances that I'll accidently or purposefully kill myself with gun, or that an acquintance or relative of me takes my gun to kill me are much higher than that a complete foreigner attempts to shoot me.
In the sum, my own gun is about 10 times as dangerous to myself than any other gun. So why increase my risk of being letally shoot by buying a gun?
I don't love cars. I actually don't own one. But I won't never buy a Segway. If I have to drive during the job, there is a company provided car. If I have to get somewhere fast in town, I use the bicycle - much faster than a Segway, and much cheaper. And with a range many times as large - I've done day trips up to 150 miles. And if it breaks, I can fix it myself easily. All parts are standard parts, I just go to the next bicycle store and get a replacement.
The Segway fills a market niche I've never visited so far.
The fact that it is interpreted by the browser and applied to the web page layout does.
No, it doesn't. CSS is a description language, not a programming language. It just maps elements to the layout of said elements. Calling CSS a programming language would be akin to claiming, the mapping of numbers to colors in a paint-by-numbers would "program" the picture.
About twenty years ago I visited a waste burning plant in Mannheim, Germany. The guide was proud to tell us, that the air above the plant is of better quality than the air above downtown Mannheim due to all the filtering they do to the exhaust fumes.
It still doesn't make sense. Imagine patents owned for eternity. Nearly every gasoline engine in the world would owe patent fees to the estate of James Pickard (all the others would owe fees to the Felix Wankel estate). Siemens would get a fee on every dynamo-eletric generator in the world, and everytime you write something down with a pen, you have to pay Faber-Castell.
No. Patents are not trademarks. You don't lose a patent by not defending it. You lose it if it expires, independently on how much you defend it or not. Trademarks in turn are owned for eternity, if you defend them rigorously.
The second one is not so astonishing. Imagine a collective decision like a vote. In most cases, the outcome can already be predicted before it is formalized, even though every voter is free in his individual vote at the voting booth. So I would expect the brain with its multiple functional units which contribute to a decision also can be predicted before the actual decision is finalized.
Actually, women don't perform any better than men at multitasking. Within both sexes, about 2-5% can really multitask, and everyone else basicly sucks at it. It's just that somehow upbringing and social roles allow women to still try multitasking and be content with the less-than-average productivity and quality.
Either the GPL can be ignored, because copyright as such should be abandoned. Then why complain about a perceived lack of freedom?
Or copyright is valid, licenses apply, and the GPL allows you a lot more freedom than the normal copyright. Then why complain about a perceived lack of freedom?
This. And they didn't have any disaster recovery planning or any kind of security concept in place. And this was the main reason why the Board of Audit chastised them: Not even after a big failure of IT infrastructure any planning to avoid similar situations in the future.
It's not the Ministry of Education of whole Germany, but of the german State of Mecklenburg, which threw away the PCs after a virus infection.
And there is more to the story: It was estimated, that the cleaning of the PCs would cost ~135,000 €, and a replacement, which was planned anyway, would be 190,000 €, thus they decided to replace early instead of spending the 135,000 € on the clean-up and throw the PCs away a year later.
If you distribute someone else's work, you are bound by their license. It's not your work you are distributing. If you build on someone else's work to create your own, in general, you have to negotiate about the conditions of distribution. If the code you are building on is so important to you, you can always go to the original author and ask for special conditions, e.g. a license that fits your needs.
All the GPL asks you is to make sure that the people you distribute to get the same conditions for your work than the conditions under which you got the work you are building on. If you feel so different than your users, that you want other conditions for yourself than you give to your users, so be it. But then GPL is not for you. GPL is for a level playing field.
This solution is what got them into trouble in the first place.
They decided to shut down transactions for DataCell, and now the court decided that they have violated their contracts and have to pay a fine until they adhere to the contract again.
That's why Guantanamo was a bad idea from the start.
(There is a second reason, elaborated nearly 400 years ago in Friedrich Spee's Cautio Criminalis.)
Partial facts don't conflict. Hypotheses based on partial facts might conflict. Predictions based on those hypotheses might conflict. But the facts themselves don't. They are just different sets of data points.
Conflicting facts are almost ever measurement errors or wrongly applied theories about facts. Conflicting facts are a pretty sure sign of at least one of the facts not really being a fact (and could be one of those "Well, that's odd"-moments, which according to Isaac Asimov are the most common greetings to great discoveries).
You're right and you're wrong. In theory, you're right. You look at what the plant needs and you give it that. But in proper practice, you're wrong. You simply return the shit to the soil and the system works cyclically, if you plant guilds. It's monocultural so-called "green revolution" farming (which turns nations and indeed whole continents brown) which causes soil depletion. Most of these crops aren't even rotated any more!
If I remember my history courses correctly, then at least in Europe, the soil depletion came long before the green revolution. In fact, the green revolution and the synthetic fertilizers were what finally helped Europe to overcome constant soil depletion.
This was attempted in Spain after the Madrid Train bombing. The Partido Popular based government then tried to seize the opportunity and blamed Basque separatists for it to improve its chances at the election three days later. The Partido Popular lost the election.
WinNT and Win 3.11 shared just one thing, a subsystem called "Win32" (on NT) or "Win32s" (on Win3.11). The original WinNT had some other subsystems as well (one OS/2, one POSIX), but they died with the next versions. As far as I remember, WinNT once even passed the UNIX95 certification with its POSIX subsystem. Much later on, there were UNIX services running in Win2000 (I think), which probably has been a ressurection of the original POSIX subsystem.
WinNT was based on a kernel developed by Butler Lampson (ex DEC) and his team, and it borrowed much from VMS and from Mach2. I remember a course at the university, where we got introduced to the WinNT kernel. The original WinNT kernel could be compiled for x86 and for the DEC Alpha AXP processor. To run software compiled for Win32(s) on Alpha AXP, there was an emulator called FX!32.
So, there is no direct transition from Win 3.11 to WinNT 3.46, they were completely different beasts, and only the Win32(s) somehow glued them together, allowing them to run the same software coded against Win32(s).
The Northwest Passage was already open, and the MV Camilla Desgagnés was the first commercial vessel to cross the passage. The Beluga Shipping Group is planning to set up regular services.

Which still means that two third of all illegal weapons in Canada come from the U.S..

We charge it with a welldefined current over a well defined time, and then we calculate I*t.

By measuring the charge?
