Anyone doing anything hate when a good or service (that they produce) becomes commoditized. You buy it by the pound and not by the exclusivity. When that happens you stop being able to charge a premium.
Streaming companies buy music in bulk and could care less about the newest/latest top 40 since it'll be in the bargin bin within 6 months and leased to them as part of a library.
It's about time entertianers and their industry were knocked down a peg or three seeing is it is nothing more that a scam based on heavy handed copyright laws. I'll never begrudge an artist for charging $100 for a ticket to a show, but $1-3 per song (digital media) for ever and ever that is not right.
You seem to be under the misconception that "record industry" = "musicians".
At no point does that article actually state viruses have DNA. Not to mention it reads like an eight-year-old wrote it after reading some fairytale story.
Nevertheless, you were correct when you stated some viruses have DNA.
The title is Bacteria and viruses have DNA too.
I concur with the "for kids" writing style, but this is a thing they teach in low-numbered grade school.
I was going to state something stupid like, "everyone knows this." But... I know better...
Given that there was a civilian teacher going up for the publicity, a lot of schoolrooms were watching it live.
Correct. By this time spaceflight was considered "routine", and not much fanfare with a launch. This one was special for one for schools because a teacher was going up. I can remember a lot of hype surrounding it in the preceding months. I was in 3rd grade, the 4-6 grade school was watching live, while we were not. I can remember people talking about it, but I personally did not see it until the evening news when I was home from school.
I think laypeople underestimate Dobsonians due to their "homebrew" nature. Dobs are wonderful for visual observation. What matters most is light gathering, which is purely a function of primary mirror/lens size. Expensive equatorial tracking mounts, Cassegrain optics and other expensive things are nice, and needed for astrophotography or special uses; but for simply viewing, the sheer size of a Dobsonian means you can get far more viewing power for a fraction of the price.
I think the fast typing has less to do with attention to detail and more to do with not wanting to break the flow of the movie so that we can watch him painfully hunt-and-peck commands.
Yet so many TV shows have the "computer geek" doing two-finger typing. I suppose it is less fake looking than "fake computer typing" by hammering on the keyboard. But seriously people, learn to fucking type.
This has to do with discrimination: paying someone less than someone else for the same work simply because of the color of their skin.
Unproved assumption. The same fallacy often occurs, when non-caucasian people are discriminated against. I bet the the same thing would have happened, if the employee would have come from a Eastern European country. It's not about race, it's about money.
Or importing employees from Detroit. Companies always exploit when they can. Even when they are really not gaining much.
Lol. Find me one company in the entire world that pays its Indian in India employees as much as its California ones?
Now, when someone is already working for for you for far far less, and you are paying for one of them and his family to move to America, why would you expect them to pay him as much as the other employees, already there. Assuming, this guy did not really really want to stay in India, he would obviously of accepted $50K, which is probably already a huge raise.
I worked for a company that paid vastly different wages to its California, Detroit and Pittsburgh employees. They liked to move employees from Detroit to other offices instead of hiring locally because they would get them for cheaper. Double whammy on that as well, as the Detroit employees had much lower salaries, and I got the impression they would work for peanuts for the reward of getting the hell out of Detroit.
But this means that the company was not hiring people locally, and was getting cheap labor from the 3rd world (Detroit), driving everyone's salaries down. When that pool dried up they started bulk off-shoring jobs, rather than hire people at fair wages. That was my cue to get the hell out of there.
Sending a probe to Mars and sending 3,000 lbs to the ISS are two totally different things. First, if your programming is off just slightly, you miss Mars, or as we have seen previously, you crash into the planet and loose your probe. Hit the ISS with a capsule carrying that extra weight and you loose just more than the capsule.
But the real difference between the Orbital price and India is that India is reporting its actual cost. What Orbital charges NASA includes a hefty profit margin. The actual costs are significantly lower.
Does one of the articles in the link vomit summary explain? I am not going to bother clicking on half a dozen links to figure out what the hell the summary is talking about.
Christie could have turned THIS event into a presidential run win, but he is too much of an establishment to do it.
He could have come out and said: I will find the responsible, fire them and initiate a criminal case against them and then I will step down. This was done on my watch, I will TAKE responsibility.
I think it was a giant opportunity for him to be seen as super responsible rather than corrupt, but hey, he is a Jersey boy, he don't go that way.
Fat chance of that. If a criminal case comes out against Kelly, she will leak to the press that Christie was behind the whole thing. Regardless if it is true, it will torpedo any chance of a presidential nomination. (assuming there is still a chance)
I'd recommend making your own. All reviews of AC's popcorn are negative. Complaints about oversalting with arsenic and strychnine, largely, though one customer complained about insufficient amounts of butter.
You are only saying that because you are in Canada and safe from this ruling.

The people of the state of Ohio should be appalled by what took place here today in their name.
But not because they killed a guy.

The title of your post makes me think of this.
Q: What do the labels want?
A: To take over the world! Of course.

I'm a third grader, you insensitive clod!
Well. based on today's standards, I could read at a 6th grade level in 3rd grade.

McCoy was improvising to save lives two decades before MacGyver existed.
"I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!"
"You're a healer, there's a patient. That's an order."
"I'm a doctor, not an inventor."
Exactly, this is premeditation. That is what makes this murder and not manslaughter.
Cellphones during the movie was debated, but WEAPONS not?
IF he was carrying legally, of course not. We dont debate the merits of cars when a drunk driver kills a family by doing stupid things with a car.
bad people do bad things with inanimate objects. Talk about the REAL problem, (idiots) not the object.
You are allowed to carry a cellphone into a theater, just like a legally registered weapon.
You are not allowed to use either of them except in an emergency.
It would be more about the to and from the theater than at the theater most times, I would think.
(ask Batman's parents about that)
Of course they may occasionally be a need for a gun while in the theater as well...

You referenced Batman and you don't know why people would want to take a gun to a theater?
Perhaps we can write a GUI in VisualBasic to help angry literalist programmers get into the spirit of technical scenes in films.
This would be an appropriate response.

They are all discriminatory. Companies do not even bother trying to hide it anymore.

You're surprised that one HR person in a huge company is horribly incompetent and stupid?
I would be more surprised if one HR person in a huge company was not horribly incompetent and stupid.

loose your probe
I am pretty sure you can be arrested for that.

Against the middle ages Germanic tribe, perhaps?
I don't care because I don't break the law. In fine this could lead to safer roads if they share these infos with law enforcement.
You have nothing to hide, do you? Then why post AC?
Is this what passes for science reporting... "A molecule nearly identical".
I'd recommend making your own. All reviews of AC's popcorn are negative. Complaints about oversalting with arsenic and strychnine, largely, though one customer complained about insufficient amounts of butter.
