No. In cap-and-trade a company can *make money* by not spewing CO2, and selling leftover credits. Carbon offsets are a method of trying to put a price on a negative externality. Cap and trade takes it a step farther by assuming that the negative is unavoidable, every business will create some CO2, but creating a system that rewards companies that minimize the externality, and punishing companies that don't.
Logic is math. Or maybe math is logic... Either way, if you prove it by writing on a blackboard rather than doing a study or building a crazy expensive matter collider you're doing math.
Also do you really think that Encryption can be truly understood without number theory? I think Fermat would like to have a word with you... Or databases without relational algebra? Take a formal logic course outside of the philosophy department and try to claim that logic isn't math, it could hardly be anything else.
Not exactly my area of expertise, but I was under the impression that Jews had record of his birth, and the Muslims had writings regarding the journey of the Three Wise Men. Neither group has the same beliefs as Christians regarding Jesus, of course, but I thought both recognized him in some way as a somewhat important person.
The books of the bible are largely unchanged, although even a translation loses some of the details that just don't translate well. Which books make up the bible, however, hasn't been quite as stable. Certainly the section that came from the Torah is stable, but in particular the New Testament has been changed in the past 2000 years.
I was on the wrong end of this once. I did some research and found I was being badly underpaid, but I liked the work. I went to my boss and asked for a raise. The answer was no, they were paying the average for similar companies in the area. I went and interviewed elsewhere and got an offer at about 50% more than I was making. I went back to my boss, let her know, and told her she could keep me for a 20% raise since I enjoyed what I was doing, and didn't really want to take the risk of moving on. She said yes, HR said no, 5% was the best they could do. I left. Best move I ever made.
The 787 is going to use carbon fiber for the body of the aircraft, replacing the aluminum that has been used basically for the past 50 years. You don't think that's a major change?
Yes, but aircraft manufacturing requires very high quality parts. Even slightly lower quality bolts can cause problems, as with Partnair Flight 394. There's a reason that every important part in an aircraft, from the sheet metal to the tiny screws and rivets, is traced from the point that the metal is forged to the point that it is installed in a commercial aircraft. If you try to use low-quality parts in a plane you will have accidents.
I worked for a police department where one of the entry keypads did this. You pressed a button and the keypad numbers showed up in random places. It wasn't exactly a nice area of town so I guess they decided the extra security was necessary for that division.
It's funny, I didn't bother with a password on my smartphone until I had a 2-year-old. I didn't bother using keylock until said toddler learned he could dial 911 without entering the password. It turns out kids are a great motivator to lock down your systems.
Going faster than the speed of sound just doesn't make sense in a consumer aircraft right now. The materials we have take a lot of maintenance due to the strain of the shockwave, you can't break the sound barrier over settled areas, and people won't generally pay that much more for a trans-ocianic flight just to shave off a few hours.
He doesn't have any ownership of the company (stock). Why in the hell would I work my ass off when you're going to pay me the same if I don't, and I don't get rewarded if the company succeeds?
Actually your app can register to hear alt-tab (assuming we're talking Windows here). And ctrl-alt-del, and pretty much any other keyboard button the OS handles. It also gets first dibs on deciding what the response is. Most apps don't bother, so the OS deals with it, but you can block pretty much every normal windows keyboard shortcut. Games do it quite often to keep you from interrupting them by accident because you happened to hit the windows button, or alt-tab, or held down shift for 5 seconds, etc.
Yes, but it makes money by forcing all browsers to improve their javascript capabilities, allowing Google to provide services via the browser where they can show you adds. Browsers are actually becoming a reasonable platform to develop some applications for, and part of that is Google pushing javascript efficiency improvements on everyone.
Emergency services need multiple ways to communicate in case one fails. When I worked for a police department their primary was a digital radio system (so dispatch could talk to a single car, or a certain set of cars, without having to talk to everyone), then cellphones that cost next to nothing since they were only used if the digital radios failed, then an old set of analogue radios. The last thing you want is to cut your emergency services budget to the point where a single failure can cut communications.
Firing people also doesn't help the books for a quarter or two, since you have to pay off the severance and get through the lawsuits for the ones who think you didn't pay them enough.
Only if you're dumb enough to put your private information into electronic form, and then put it onto Google's servers where one of the killer features is that it's very hard to really delete things permanently.
I think all the GP is complaining about is the fact that Java and Javascript have similar names, when they're not similar at all in purpose or usage, which confuses people.
This is normal. People on probation generally need to check in with police on a regular basis (weekly, daily, or more), so they tend to live near a police station.
But specific instances of haunting often are well-defined and falsifiable. Or rather, explicable. Weird noises and flickering lights have all kinds of normal explanations in old houses. If he can find causes for strange things other people have experienced why shouldn't he go take a look?

Some meds actually become more potent over time, and some mutate to do other things over time, maybe harmless and maybe not.

I can write a C++ compiler and sell it without paying anyone a dime. Could I do the same with a H.264 encoder?
Many companies trade on multiple exchanges. I believe it's just that some percentage of the company trades on one, some percentage on another.
You consider 8 EXABYTES a limit? Get back to me when you actually have a postgres database with that much data in it.
Even Gentoo is dead-simple to install these days! If you want difficult you'd probably have to go for some flavor of build-your-own Linux

so make the time between renewals grow exponentially. One year for a first renewal, then 2 years, then 4, 8, 16, etc.
