Studies that try to locate patterns in amounts of personal data often fail because they fail to consider complexity of human being in its entirety. There is no way to predict who will get fat, based on eviromental factors. Genetic predisposition(re: see family tree) is strongest of the factors. Thats why when you go to chinese restraunts, you notice that chinese in general are less obese then the other races visiting, and they can eat twice as much. Talking of development and functionality in terms of weight is useless, rather I'd hope people to see the energy factor. If you are able to maintain energy at most times of the day, except before the bed time, most likely you burn most of what you eat.
To maintain energy you'd need to balance many things, like exercise, diet, oxygen level intake(walks outside), social setting etc. Imagine keeping a ball in a center of a flat plate, plate which can bend and tilt in any direction. Overdoing anything is bad, eating little junk food is not necessary, but you can do that, especially in company of friends... as long as its not every day.
Being overweight, is just like being sick - symptom of deeper problems. Given there are people who would be slightly overweight, and they look better that way. Slightly meaning not more then being 15-20% off your target weight. 2c
I don't know, but unless there is a DVD rip of the movie preview, its not even worth watching said movies. Feeling quality of said movies, is akin to running nails down the blackboard. I would highly disagree watching or waste time watching them. Often I'd opt going to cinema. People who don't go to cinema, usually don't decide so based on availability of movie in cruddy format. p.
We don't have to beef up anything. We pay levy on blank media, and that is it. All personally made copies are covered by said tax. Fix your laws and country before telling others.
Degree is not a certificate of knowledge, but performance of a work done. It does not pertain to quality of individual's knowledge. It seems people have forgotten that going to university is for higher education for one self's enhancement of intellect. Fact that people use graduation papers that for certification is deceitful. After all president Bush has graduated from Ivy League school. So quality of knowledge cannot be verified by having school papers. For example, numerous awards for recognition of furthering one or other area can be more useful. Claiming university credentials for something as hands on as wikipedia is useless. Wikipedia isn't a scholarly text. It is a good starting ground for starting, and/or getting leads on your research.
RIAA has nothing to do with recording companies, except that it collects money from them, charging premium for legal&detective services. As such it may well outlive many of the recording companies that authorized its existence. Perhaps the most harmful thing can be done, is do guerilla marketing campaign to associate people who buy CDs with fact that if they rip the CD into MP3 they will face possibility to be jailed by recording company that has sold them the CD via RIAA. Or be faced with fine that will lead to their financial ruin. I Canada we pay copy tax on all recordable media, so I can pirate as much as I want, it is within the law. As long as I buy blank CDs money will be paid to artists, sort of. Except I will not be buying into whole media distribution model and gives me a shrink wrapped CD. 2c.
Al Quaeda is a suggested name by security agencies to tie in all evidence and prosecution flow under one name for political purposes. Anything muslim and criminal would be labeled with this, just because it had certain zing, and a roadway for promotions and bonuses. Al Quaeda doesn't exist, it is a scam by Mostly CIA agency , just like proof of WMD weapons in Iraq documents. Just like those fake Bin laden video and audio tapes. Just like Serbian genocide, justification of renewal of many stockpiles of aging weapons and punishment of yugoslavia for not cooperating with IMF, Wold bank and their demands.
Just look to people who sponsor the massacares both ways - weapons industry in United States. Primariy white supremacist clan of old boys, in ways of which if you stand you will get shot and your whole family marginalized and persecuted under some security directive.
Living in Toronto, I did follow the investigation and foundation for the cases were weak, and contrived. I applaud the decision of minority government to fight and let laws like these be the victim. These are the times we live in.
There are many cases in point, where apple being from out west, having roots of hippie like company was selling products to university and promply ignoring any help/support requests thereafter. My professor had such dealings with apple. As such, this flower, hip counterculture company, with capitalist inner core and near supremacist individualism doesn't jive with people who want to get, just business tools. Just like you said, also this does not allow for competition on the account, because there is only one supplier of hardware and or two suppliers of software. Because it can run windows, that what business would like you would be paying premium on hardware anyway for letting it run OS X. I love OS X but in business it doesn't matter. Most business requirements are Word + Excel from Windows. With Dell you get nearly free copy of windows. With apple you got to shell out off the shelf price. Given they have moved to Intel, is a great for making inroads in corporations. However it stride they take their large customers in, is appalling, from what I about them. It may well be changing. Apple care is still best of individual hardware servicing, IBM was only comparable. I have ipod, powerbook and will get macpro soon too, just don't think the company is fit for dealing with businesses, because company would need to shift its focus from being customer geewhiz toys(and computers) into business to business corporation.
Which basically means that google will make recording companies work and watch through each one of the videos beginning to the end, to remove them. So at least I hope.
i would think any large place would have their own pre-cleaned product image, that computers can be zapped with, to remove any possible fluff that might compromised the overall business process. just a thought. google is in business of search, and rich client software development. as such i don't see it as issue. People shouldn't use such internet warts. Service based ware always was pain... Java script is pretty cool, but it has been bane for many people who develop reliable sites for wide market audience. Which means html with standard css bits. Doubt this can be considered news, a bug for bugtraq?
I mean if anyone steals the software from me, esp Warez kids I won't care really, because they extend my market share. If my company is public however, I would be stuck between rock and a hard place.Liability to investors for not attempting to get maximum profits is like that. They don't care who, what or at what cost the profit was earned. This sort of logic would hurt small companies, that make limited use small bits of software. But I guess it comes with territory. Instead of software, if you think its too dangerous, maybe you can become a lawyer, pharmacist or start company related to either of the two or many other possiblities. Software business is fantastic, because your distribution costs are zero, marketing is cheap and plentiful, unless you really want to build solid brand, then its gonna cost you some more, but by far it isn't as hard as it used to be.
People who get jail time for copying software, are just of sorts like galileo, were they really aren't stealing anything because they copy it not for actual profit but for hobby. Of course businesses won't care to cater to hobbyists that would need autocad to build their widget, so a shortcut can be taken.
However if you make money with the product it just isn't nice to not pay to the creator, you still want them to be around selling features that you want in your program right?
In bettween the two of the cases there is chasm of pleasureware, music players, games, image touch up software that comes free with 50$ printers etc. These people can't stop people who pirate that ware, so they have to have some value added stuff in the box. In general there is a balance though. Many people if they download pleasure warez , they would invest if its worth it. The first game I have purchased was half-life2 , it was so awesome, that not buying it was out of the question.Plus you go the box with hot CG girl on it. Notwithstanding forum admin asshats it was wonderful value.
I don't think anyone should be jailed as if they have robbed a bank for process of copying. And enven distributing. Real piracy happens in china and here as well, when people buy boxed software that was immaculately reproduced in some factory in guangdong, china.
Constitution is a good thing, even if it protect liberties, even in this case. However when government wants to overstep their boundaries its fair game anyway. However overstepping their boundaries won't work, because it won't let them successfully prosecute criminals, as it will fly in the face of the constitutional rights.
You have a point though you haven't said it. Efficent and productive companies are part of successful mosaic that makes a good country to live in. A greedy company makes for company that will sacrifice its own long term future for near term profits. Or so the whole publicly owned comany idea goes. Until investors are responsible for what their company does, there will be no end to insane swings of the market place that make rich richer and poor poor ever so intently. Hypergrowth and wealth isn't free and it taken off somebody's back, in present state of capitalism. Capitalism can be socially concious, such way that it can perhaps attempt to drive funds from socially beneficial programs , that benefit the society, like zero footprint businesses(save electricity), renewable energy and whatnot.
Cell companies are not the worst offenders here but they are trading in sphere of informatial economics as such who is to say what is a good price for the people to pay, on information the transfer over someone elses network. It is your data, and you do have choices. How much convinece costs you? Mobile markets are driven by what people want and not need. If price of want is too high and cuts into needs, then no one will buy a cellphone. Or service rather.
This is too bad, but it takes to be a big man to take the truth, let whole organization of them. Thats where russians stood out, is where the would do everything in space with simplest possible ways and it worked. Meh, it sucks.
Thats were the trouble is. Say if it was for the car or a house there would be a title to specified item registered with the government. If ownership can't be proven, it can be taken either way. She can say it was a present, they can say it was for work use. If title was transferred on the owership then there must be a warrant. If computer is registered, Say with sysadmin and is on company file of assets and there was no awarding of it as a gift, then company has right to allow for search. This isn't a clear cut question, and court of law can make precedent and figure out who really was in ownership of the laptop. 2c. IANAL
I eat eggs, bacon or sausage and coffee. Wash it back with selzer for digestion. Maybe later in the day have some sort of oat bar. I have tried many things and protein in the moring is only thing that doesn't let me down to drowzy nodding in the moring at my desk. And by god avoid pancakes at any cost. They are desert of the worst kind usually...and starch in the moring is going to kill your whole day. So far I am sticking to saying "breakfast is the most important meal of the day". I keep carbs for the later part of the day... for vegeterian/vegan food items.
For extra caffinated day, I interject breaks with fruits, one of which is must be banana... for me the code monkey.:)
Going for what single product review will recommend is silly. I rather go for infomration on quality in many reviews, collect thoughts that are very similar, discard that are wildly different, to get understand what the product is *about*, in terms of use and see wether I like it or not. My preference is with manufacturers that don't boost specs, on monitors, like Samsung does:
Because all gambling isn't illegal means US government is protecting someone else's interests and its own profits -> tax revenue. Because there is alot of money going across the board, and taxes aren't paid. And none of these people are friends of Bush family. If there were, this little problem would silently go away. All in all, liberty in america it has become is for those who are with a largest pocketbook. It is pretty bad, but not as bad in some other places.
Though the fact that executive staff were not employed by the company anymore. What can they do? Put them into a jail? I smell political agenda there, not justice for preservation of liberty and freedom of the peoples of the country. 2c
It is hard to find talents locally, often companies all over the world hire people, not only just in united states. As well carbon footprint of communting is too high and personal price is like that as well. Problem is that there is lack of really easy and intuitive collaborative tools and most people won't like to be called at their computers. But walking over and talking to a person is fine. So people will evolve tools until they are comfortable with them and then CEO's will have to do away with some better way of evaluating your performance, then by smiles, complements, business gabber etc.
Its like those people predicting that internet will implode due to various reasons, execpt it grew because of them.
I like working in the office. But if there is a process where one can spend technical coder time at home, I think it would be great.
