What stock doesn't have fundamentals. There are pages and pages of actual data you can gather on the stock of any company. Whether people bother to use those fundamentals or not is a different story.
When it's $1000 a coin the people who invested at 90 cent will be millionaires.
No, the correct term is thousandaire. One 90 cent investment would give them $1000. In order to become a millionare from that kind of value change, people would have had to invest a total of $900.
Do people not even read the summary any more? This is not about Amazon lockers in Wal-Mart stores. It is about Wal-Mart putting their own pickup lockers in Wal-Mart stores for purchases from Wal-Mart.com. It is directly competing against the Amazon lockers. It will in no way help bring Amazon customers into Wal-Mart.
It will most likely cause Wal-Mart to reduce staffing even more and have even worse service, further driving away "those types".
... a worldwide flood causing the highest mountains to be covered (whether it be the highest known mountains at that time, or Everest) would involve enough water to cause some significant changes in the geographical layout and cover a whole lot of bones in a whole lot of sand over a very short period of time (with additional fossilization having happened before the Flood, and plenty after as well, as the natural course of such things tend to happen).
You aren't kidding this would be enough water to cause some significant changes. In fact, if there was enough water to cover the highest mountains in the world, where exactly did that water go?They must have had some pretty small mountains back then.
that's only for Nitrocellulose film. Kodak stopped making that in 1950. Lots of movies are on cellulose triacetate or more modern polyester film stock.
This is a small amount of devices and can only stretch the devices lifespan a little. Once the device gets older, it won't be able to run much of that new stuff anymore.
At this point in the Android game any device with 4.x is probably fine for most people. Future upgrades will not provide the same level of functionality improvements we've seen with past versions.
If you are not like most people and like to run the latest and greatest OS version, the S4 may not be a good choice.
You've got the taxes wrong. $16k/year is in the 15% tax bracket (the first $8925 is only taxed at 10%). Add in the standard deduction of $5950 and you're paying taxes on just $10k (that's not counting any other possible deductions). The tax tables say you'd owe $1039 to the IRS. That's a quarter of what you estimated.
I'll also back many of the other replies that your insurance estimate is also high. I can get car insurance for less than half your $200 a month. That's as a single guy, not too favorable a demographic for insurance.
This is basically how it works, but technically the state of Alaska is giving the residents their share of the natural resource money. The residents of the state are the "owners" of the natural resources and the state manages them in the way to bring the most benefit to the residents. This management of natural resources is specifically written into the state constitution.
And the consumer is supposed to determine what part is defective (fairly easy in this case) and who made the defective part? That's not how things work. Consumer has an issue, they raise it with the manufacturer (Apple). Apple can talk to LG if they have a problem with the parts LG sent them.
I hear what your saying about the dangers of bringing back extinct species, but the last passenger pigeon died in 1914. It's not exactly like their predators have all evolved into something else. We already have other pigeons, sure this is a different species, but I think we have a good idea about their behavior and biology from similar species and historic accounts.
I live in a very northern state and can say that daylight savings is pointless here. In the winter, it will be dark before and after work. In the summer, it will be daylight before and after work.
cynicism has started to run wild anymore. People think it's cool to hate something they have no information on what so ever. They can then connect over how much they hate things.
The latency and bandwidth needed to send calculations back and forth to the server would be a huge waste and probably make it run slower than just 100% local calculations. The only real way to do server side calculations is to offload 100% (or near to it) to the server and then send what's needed to the client for the display and receive input from the client.
I see what you're saying. But people don't have much recourse other than to "vote with their wallet".
The real problem is that "voting with your wallet" no longer works. I think this is kind of parallel to the movie industry. The market for movies has become so huge with theaters, home purchases, streaming, TV rights, etc. that Hollywood can make just about any old piece of crap and make money on it. Even if it bombs in theaters domestically, the international release might bring it into the black, or the home release, or streaming, etc. It's getting the same for video games. There are so many people that don't seem to care about always online that EA will still make tons of money here and not change their practice, even if all of the/. regulars don't buy the game.
Major studios are most likely a lost cause if you care about issues like this. You're forced to look for Indie studios, and even then, if the studio gets bought up, you need to find the next indie studio.
If you are mayor of a SimCity, surely it will have to interact with neighboring cities that may have retarded mayors. It seems like a nice way to add multiplayer. I just wish the ability to play single player offline was retained. That to me is how SimCity is. Although I realize more and more that I'm getting old and lots of people on here probably don't remember when the first SimCity was released (I'm not talking about the plethora of ports that followed).
That's quite a fantastic leap from a game that needs you to be online to play, to outlawing common food additives and making one of the nations most well known national parks no longer a national park.
People would probably be doing more to stop this if it was more than just a game, but it isn't.

He's not from America (he used the word bonnet instead of hood) so he probably isn't too familiar with trucks or lorries or whatever they call 'em.
The S&P increased by 13.41% in 2012. the DOW was up 7.26% for 2012. 5% seems to be more than realistic to me.
How about being water boarded in the boat on the "it's a small world" ride?
That variability is kind of how you get stereotypes and things like manga in the first place.
Manga is just trying to make people look younger by giving them larger eyes. It's not a stereotype of large eyed people.
FYI - DST is not a timezone and CST is. The proper timezones are CDT and CST (for central time)
using midnight or noon might be more specific and cause less confusion, but 12am and 12pm are valid. reference

Let's get this straight. You don't want to see any banner ads on a bus? When was the last time you saw a public bus?
