The market for Nuclear Power will increase 50% by 2020? 50% in 15 years is only about 2% return on investment. It's not a particularly lucrative investment for Toshiba unless westinghouse was very cheap or has much room to grow in market share of this nuclear industry.
Good call Lumpy. I consider what you stated to be 'standard operating procedure'. You don't want to burn bridges... even if you know your projects will not be continued and you hate the firm. I left a firm that, after i left, blamed me for everything. My ex-coworker told me a quote that the evil much-hated director said about me... "His performance was bad, but at least he wrapped up his work here nicely when he quit." I spent my last 2 weeks documenting and wrapping up my projects. I didn't work long hours during those two weeks (everybody worked long hours at that firm) but i worked hard and non-stop during the day to make sure everything was ready to be handed off.
It's not a matter of vengeance or 'getting back' at an evil boss or faceless firm. It's more of a matter of being professional and always doing the right thing. In my case i hated the boss and the director of my dept. I felt that if i finalize my projects, then i would no better than them. I knew i was much better than them and acted that way.
No way! Price is simply based upon supply and demand. The songs with high demand will have high prices since they all take relatively the same cost to produce. Supply doesn't even enter into the formula here since it costs zero to supply any number of additional songs.
I had a nutty boss that reported to a director that would always take credit for everything good that we did and would blame us for everything bad that he did. Nobody had respect for this guy and he never did anything to deserve it. Anyways, when i finally found another job and gave my notice i worked very hard to make sure i finished up my projects or pass them off. It was the hardest two weeks of work at this job.
During my last two weeks i worked closely with the director to hand off projects. I had clearly expressed about 10% of my frustrations with my boss to the director. After i left, a coworker heard the director mention about me "His work was a little subpar, but he wrapped things up nicely when he left". Since she only said terrible things about people who had quit prior to me, i considered this a glowing review. That was the nicest thing she ever said about a former employee.
:-) I wouldn't consider myself into alternative music. I pretty much just listen to anything. Most of my favorite artists, Amon Tobin included, i discovered during the 'Napster years' and have been listening to ever since.
If I'm going to be 'superior' about something, it's the fact that after Napster I began to download/buy all of my music legally. At first it was mostly out of convenience, but later i developed strong opinions against copyright infringement. If I like it, then i vote with my pocket-book. That's with the spirit of capitalism. However, the parent post makes no mention about that issue.
I am a blast at parties because I get all drunk and find you and then make an ass out of both of us. I usually don't mention music or copyrights though.
are not named intro, interlude or skit (for obvious reasons), plus some very custom stuff.
Uhoh. What about Amon Tobin's song "Cosmic Retro Intro Outro"?? According to your logic that song will be left, but it's one of my favorite songs and definitely worthy of inclusion.
it depends upon which kind of paint that you use. If the heatsink-to-paint interface has high thermal conductivity and the paint-to-air interface has hight thermal conductivity, than painting is more thermal efficient.
No, somebody in Google's 'risk management' department probably decided that it would be a prudent step to avoid bad publicity or offending shareholders. The minute Google went public, their primary responsibility became looking after the best interests of their shareholders, not being an impartial index of internet sites.
I am bothered by people who assume that if it has to do with capitalism, then it's automatically bad. This is _NOT_ what happens when companies go public.
With all due respect, dead sun, you are incorrect.
The fact remains that the Redskins games and the US Presidential elections are not correlated events.
You mention that if you plot the data against each other than there is a high correlation. Assuming there is some way to plot these against each other (i'll address this issue next), then you are not saying the games & election are correlated. You are saying that the 14 observations are correlated . Your sample is too small. It's that simple. Wait for a few more elections and you will see what I mean.
2nd point. I'm not sure what you mean by plotting hte incumbant's performance against the past redskins games. Correlation is a measurement between two real random variables. It is not a measurement between one win/lose boolean and another. For that you need some form of copula based methods, not correlation.
It's a true statement! The election depends upon the Lions game outcome!! But wait...
M = your mamma
P(B|R) = P(B|M,R) * P(M|R) / P(M|B,R)
Wow! Ugh oh... Whether Bush is reelected also depends upon your mamma! Dammit Bayes Rule!! I thought I was the only one depending your mamma for a piece of...
"Actually, it makes senses - if you make too many chips that you don't sale, you increase costs, without the increases in revenue."
Hemos, please forgive the grammar nazi for his ignorance: But enlighten me as to why you chose the verb "sale". I would have been naive and used "sell" and left out the deeper meaning that you are eluding to with "sale". Please enlighten a gammar nazi.
2) Colleges have lots of neat convocations and clubs...join them and check things out. You'll probably try and join different stuff from the things you were involved in back in high school. I've switched from somone involved in band and speech to someone in fencing and our physics chapter.
I don't know. From this point of view it looks like you were a dork in high school and you were still a dork in college. You didn't switch anything.
Before you moderate this as troll, realize that I went from a dungeons & dragons / band dork in highschool to a magic card / grammar nazi dork in college.
Please, handy_vandal, allow the grammar nazi to clarify for you:
The bits were indeed meaningless. They were random bits which represented nothing. The grammar nazi thinks you have mistaken useless for meaningless. The test was indeed useful, but the bits were still meaningless.

Please allow the grammar nazi to offer a suggestion. The word that you seek is commodity.
We've reached the point where software and hardware are becoming a comodity. Everybody knew it would happen. Neal Stephenson predicted this in his book In the beginning was the command line, and that wasn't even an insightful book.
We will see free PCs in cereal boxes. We will see 'good enough' free software. That scares companies such as Microsoft. It is the reason that everybody is jumping on the "services" bandwagon.
This is significant with the Shuttle being grounded for an extended period because the ISS would have had to use thruster fuel to keep the Station's solar panels pointed in the right direction without the gyroscopes, and no guarantee when more fuel would be arriving.
I'm not the type of person who usually points these types of things out, but after the first few sentences of atrocious grammar, the remainder of attrocious grammar is all packed into a run-on sentence, that, depending upon proper comma placement is incomplete.

Hey bub... there's only one grammar nazi. Don't make me plural in your sig.

I agree, but consumer microwaves were around prior to 1980. I think it's the WWW.
corporate executives don't ever read the Times. They read the Journal. ...and yes, they even read it on vacation.

I agree with you. I hope somebody beat up that kid to teach him a lesson.
