First, they start off talking about "Los Angeles artist Kozy Kitchens" and you just assume it's a made up name. Then they mention her husband, Dan Kitchens.
This woman either has the world's most supportive husband or parents without much forsight.
OK, we hit on the one reason I run screaming from economics textbooks -
Doesn't this mean that there is a fixed amount of wealth in the world, and economics is just moving it around?
Everyone says no, but they can't explain where the "extra" money comes from (to me, at least)(observation also shows created wealth to be real, but damned if I can get any of it)
I've seen these - I think there is one in most malls around here in the North Philly burbs. I thought they were pretty much like the atari controllers with the 10 games in them. The difference being there is only 1 game, and it looks like CRAP. I figured it was an enterprising way to use up the last remaining N64 controlers.
And he had what I thought was the best line in the movie - paraphrasing now: Bob Parr - "Aren't we supposed to serve our customers?" Boss - "I am legally required to say yes"
The resolution of Hubble is remarkable bad when you talk about imaging nearby stuff. When you are looking at galaxies, a resoluion of 1 m ain't what you need. We once thought of turning Hubble on a satallite that was malfunctioning, and the calculations showed the satellite would be a big blur to Hubble. No, we hadn't even thought about the practical problems of repointing Hubble, etc, it was just a though (about as feasible as getting the next shuttle flight to "swing by").
From the description: "it can also make better drivers out of everyone if insurance rates are adjustable based on the way everyone drives"
For me, the motivation to be a better driver has been the possibility of serious DEATH, not $50 bucks off my insurance. Besides, I can be the safest driver in the world and still get caught under a jacknifed semi no problem.
I didn't RTFA cause I don't care, but I did think turning a downtown NY loft into a research lab was a bit much. Just rent the place out and you could fund your research in Nevada for YEARS!!
How come both this post and this last one end in a snooty remark about switching to DirecTV? With all the anti-windows posts, I don't see mass calls for changing to Mac or LINUX - well, not on the front page at least.
I blame the media. Whenever I hear about a particular "expert in the field", I suspect it's just this guy who wrote a paper on the liver of the African Beenie Fish 5 years ago, and was the first one the journalist found on Google after it was revieled that said liver is a cure for cancer or something.
I keep seeing how people expound on the blog "movement" and how it's an important vehicle of social change and commentary, and while I know that's probably all hooey, I couldn't think of an equivelent phenomonononon until now - webcams. As someone said, everyone and their sister had a webcam, you could watch webcams of people's pets, but eventually they died out or became porn sites.
So how long until the entire internet is one big porn site?
Did you have to buy their laptop? NO Apparently he had to buy A laptop - his only real mistake seems to getting a Dell. Do they force you to sign the license or click accept? NO Dude, he didn't click on it. Can you return the laptop, get money back and buy another product? YES Dude, he did return it.
The complaint is why they did this, and will it become standard (since NOONE reads the dang things, as Dell's logic goes...)
OK, so it was probably a secretary they have specifically for this type of item, but...
When my Dad graduated Law School, my mom suggested I e-mail Pres. Clinton and explain how he was a big inspiration to my dad etc etc and ask if he would write my dad a congratulatory letter. (My family must be the last Liberals left in the mid-west...) Apparently my mom had heard of this being done for friends of hers. Well, I didn't think so much of the idea, but I fired off the e-mail to president@whitehouse.gov, and forgot about it. Like 2 months later, my dad got a letter from Clinton that actually mentioned specifics (the name of his school and home town, stuff like that) from the e-mail I sent. He's got it framed in his office to the annoyance of his more conservitive partners.
OK, so cynics can tear this appart (it was "good news", probably a easily changed form letter, machine made sig that Clinton never touched, etc) but SOMEONE read the e-mail, and responded. This new system is just a way to make it harder for people to express their opinions to the pres. Interesting that they implemented this at a time when more and more people have something negitive to say...
...but unfortunatly, I had a master degree. They told me "as an engineer with UL, you will be responsible for desiging specs for various customers, then providing the lab techs with the procedures to test those specs". I said "but I wanna be a lab tech, not write reports all day!" I didn't get the job...
There are basicly 2 situations that could have arised - the one you advocate and the one that did. That is, 1) they could inform Amazon there are copyrighted images for sale, Amazon goes "whoops our bad" and Corbis now becomes an Amazon watchdog group, or 2) Corbis threatens to sue the pants off Amazon for copyrighted images, Amazon says "We are never letting these images on our site again" and Amazon becomes an Amazon watchdog group. All depends where you see the responsibility falling.
I really doubt this will affact Wal-mart much. They will either ignore it and tie up the patent claims in court (hell, they just might win), pay the fees to licence the, um, product? idea? (when you can't even classify the patent, you KNOW it's bad) for what is to Wal-mart pocket change, or buy Netflix. I'm more worried about other DVD rental places, in particular Greencine. OK, so I mostly rent Anime from them, but they also specialize in harder to find films. THEY are the ones that will be crushed by this, either by Netflix or, when Wal-mart accuries the patent, Wal-mart.
That's because the religious parallels in movies like Star Wars are not defined or obvious, leading to vigorous debate. Are religious observations intentional/unintentional, significant/insignificant, is Obiwan John the Baptist or Gandalf, etc. The religious views of some of the people involved with BE are not debatable, they are defined. That, and BE sucks the dead donkey...
Geeze cut the poster some slack. It can all be summed up in the this phrase: "It is the parents job to make your life a living hell." All depends on what side you're looking at. Being closer the the kid side than parent side, I remember lots of homework that was not only usless, but easily done in the 10 mins of homeroom the day it was due. Sure, if I had done every little scrap of hoemwork, I may have gotten As rather than A-s, and today, I'd probably be a College Graduate working at an international engineering firm. Oh wait, I AM!

er, click on your own link - the first article has the 100 million figure in it.
Unless you want to debate the meaning of the word "fact".

That is a horrible, horrible idea. Don't give it another thought.
Now where is that patient application?

Don't worry, I clicked on all the links, and none of them seem to be affected.
Ya know, like, the one just posted above you?
