The granola bars would have gotten shipped by truck no matter what carrier Walmart selected for free shipping.
But the bars would've been shipped in a much more efficient and environmentally friendly way if you'd bought them at a store. That was the poster's point.
Okay, they weren't flaming incompetents that didn't have a failover site. They were flaming incompetents that had a failover site that didn't work, because apparently they never tested it. Glad we cleared that up.
on the other hand it is a commodity. you dont want to define your business in such a way that your core business includes so.e irrelevant commodity.
But that's the point. It's not irrelevant, it's actually the core of your business. And it's not a commodity, it's unique and irreplaceable knowledge of how your business works.
Somewhere, there is probably an IT guy who has been begging for the budget to upgrade some old machines, or move the services onto a cloud provider and was ignored.
He's crying today, because this huge revenue loss could probably have been avoided with a small budget for newer hardware or more redundancy.
No, he's crying because he's been fired. Management, of course, decided it was all his fault.
That's statement is also pure editorial and assumption. There's nothing to suggest that's actually the reason - it might well be for other things (demos suddenly occurring or similar, for instance).
I'm rereading this statement, but it's failing to make any sense to me. What kind of demonstrations might suddenly occur, and why would that cause broadcasting the match to be banned?
What's keeping Etherium on the up and up? It certainly isn't real world use of Etherium, since that's non existent. It's nothing but a bubble caused by pure speculation.
And what's keeping dollars on the up and up? They have no "real world use". Or for that matter, gold, which really doesn't have much use either; it makes nice jewelry, and its use in electrical contacts is minimal; neither justifies the value put on it.
But when you paraphrase a joke, it doesn't usually lose anything
Well, sometimes. "Make like a tree and get out of here!" But you've touched on the heart of the matter. Copyright covers the exact representation. If somebody repeats your joke word for word, you may have a case. If they just use the idea, but use their own words, you don't. You can't copyright ideas.

No, it isn't. As the OP pointed out, pizza driver get tips. Wal-mart delivery drivers wouldn't (do you tip the UPS man?)
Because it involves the possibility that somebody somewhere might pay LG money for it. Therefore LG has to have it.
Obviously, it means "Your own yoyo".
Not vaccines themselves, but the technology that produces vaccines is very useful for biological warfare.
You unbellyfeel newspeak.
That number for a contractor with as much influence as Booz Allen Hamilton being approximately one googleplex.

was the fact that you apparently have no redundancy on extremely mission-critical servers.
But that's the point. It's not irrelevant, it's actually the core of your business. And it's not a commodity, it's unique and irreplaceable knowledge of how your business works.
Exclusionary against both dogs and cats. "Strawbeings", please.
You can do that because web sites and web store fronts can't possibly kill people if they fail.

But can it yodel?
they've re-invented Cisco's Jabber. Whee.
Actually, lights on cars are highly regulated, because they can't obscure or be confused with turn signals or brake lights.

You can use Etherium as money. So what's the difference?
And what's keeping dollars on the up and up? They have no "real world use". Or for that matter, gold, which really doesn't have much use either; it makes nice jewelry, and its use in electrical contacts is minimal; neither justifies the value put on it.
I keep my investments in ISK and gil!
If you want to be truly horrified, google this. It's been done. Many times.
With hookers and blackjack!
What the hell is "ReactOS"?

Ah, yes, the Michael Bay approach to filmaking. God forbid that the audience should go five minute without an explosion.
